Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Jiang Fan’s Status

Could the important person Chen Luoyue mentioned be Jiang Fan?

“Jiang Fan, would you like to meet this senior?”

Liu Qingxian was intrigued.

However, considering the unpleasant history between Jiang Fan and Ling Guihai,

she decided to respect Jiang Fan’s opinion first.

Jiang Fan smiled bitterly.

...

This senior was most likely himself.

Before he could decide how to respond,

Ling Guihai slightly frowned, saying, “Junior Sister Liu, it might not be appropriate for him to go.”

“My aunt said that this senior holds a prestigious position; without some status and rank, one doesn’t even qualify to pour tea for him.”

“Although Junior Brother Jiang somehow acquired the identity of Uncle Xia Chaoge,”

“he is ultimately just a disciple without a Spirit Root.”

“Bringing him along might displease the senior.”

How could he share such a great opportunity with Jiang Fan?

Only Liu Qingxian qualified to join him and witness the grandeur.

To fully appreciate the powerful connections of Ling Guihai.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxian decisively said, “Then you go by yourself.”

“I will stay with Jiang Fan in the public seats.”

“Let’s go.”

Without Jiang Fan, why should she go?

This action made Ling Guihai grind his teeth in frustration.

Why did Liu Qingxian always have to bring this burden with her?

Helplessly, he had to say, “Fine, let’s bring Junior Brother Jiang!”

“But Junior Brother Jiang should mind his words and actions.”

“If he offends the senior and we get expelled, it doesn’t matter.”

“But if he gets punished by the senior, don’t blame me.”

Liu Qingxian’s eyes brightened.

She asked, “Jiang Fan, are you going?”

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but laugh.

The box was originally prepared for him, so why couldn’t he go?

“Of course, let’s go,” Jiang Fan confirmed.

This made Ling Guihai and the other elite disciples roll their eyes.

Ji Ruyue glared at Jiang Fan with resentment.

The public humiliation from him had etched itself in her memory.

As they reunited,

watching Jiang Fan bask in Ling Guihai’s connections, she couldn’t help but sneer:

“I thought Xia Chaoge would arrange a box for him as his Uncle.”

“Turns out, he still needs to rely on Junior Brother Ling.”

Ling Guihai found this very satisfying.

The face he had lost last time was regained now.

He pretended to be magnanimous, saying, “Let’s not mention the past.”

“I believe with Junior Brother Jiang’s abilities, he could still enter the box without me.”

This made the elite disciples who flattered him even more indignant.

“Junior Brother Ling is so broad-minded! Even someone like Jiang Fan who lives off others is so tolerated.”

“Isn’t it? Last time, he showed off because of Xia Chaoge, this time, he relies on Liu Qingxian to get into the box.”

“He seems tough, but didn’t hesitate to live off others.”

…

Ling Guihai was delighted to hear this.

The frustration he had pent up for days was finally released.

“Jiang Fan, you think you can compare to me?”

Ling Guihai sneered inwardly.

As everyone entered the auction venue and headed towards Box No. 1,

the one in charge of reception was Wen Shengnan.

She naturally recognized the nephew of Vice President Chen and smiled, “Young Master Ling.”

Ling Guihai immediately toned down his arrogance.

He hadn’t forgotten his aunt’s advice:

Be extra respectful when meeting Wen Shengnan, treat her as you would the Vice President.

She emphasized that Wen Shengnan had powerful backing and must not be offended.

Otherwise, it would bring trouble to Ling Jia.

Ling Guihai firmly believed this and dared not be negligent.

“Greetings, Chief Wen!” Ling Guihai greeted respectfully.

Wen Shengnan was very satisfied with his politeness and said, “No wonder Vice President Chen advised you to serve the distinguished guest in Box No. 1.”

“Such humility and courtesy, you should do well in serving the guest.”

“However …”

she glanced at the large crowd behind him, “Are those all your friends?”

“There are too many people, they can’t all go in.”

One person to serve tea is enough.

So many people crowding the box, who would like that?

Ling Guihai wasn’t surprised.

In fact, he hadn’t planned to really bring them into the box to meet the distinguished guest.

That opportunity belonged to him alone.

Why share it with others?

Bringing them here in such a grand manner was naturally to let them witness firsthand and envy him greatly.

Wen Shengnan’s action was entirely within his expectations.

So he put on a troubled look and addressed the elites behind him:

“Everyone, it’s my oversight.”

“What shall we do?”

What else could be done?

The elite disciples looked disappointed but couldn’t complain.

After all, Ling Guihai had good intentions; it was just that Wen Shengnan didn’t permit it.

Ji Ruyue, holding back her disappointment, forced a smile and said, “Junior Brother Ling, it’s not your fault. Let’s sit in the public seats.”

Liu Qingxian also looked disappointed and said, “Let’s go.”

Jiang Fan scratched his head and said, “If you want to go, then go.”

He separated the crowd and walked towards Wen Shengnan, saying, “No problem, if they wish to go in, let them all go in.”

It was only then that Wen Shengnan noticed Jiang Fan among them.

She immediately changed her tone and smiled, “Alright, all of you can go in, just don’t make noise.”

Uh—

The elite disciples, overjoyed yet puzzled, looked at Jiang Fan.

What was going on?

Why did Chief Wen agree to let them in after Jiang Fan spoke?

“Why does Junior Brother Jiang’s word carry more weight than Junior Brother Ling’s?”

“It shouldn’t be, right? Could it be that Junior Brother Jiang has another amazing identity?”

“Strange, Ling Guihai’s aunt is Vice President Chen; theoretically, this should be Ling Guihai’s domain. Why is Junior Brother Jiang’s word more effective?”

They whispered among themselves.

Looked at Jiang Fan with respect.

Given his identity connected to Xia Chaoge, their views on Jiang Fan had changed.

Ling Guihai found their words grating.

He snorted, “Chief Wen saw my difficulty and intended to let us all in.”

“She didn’t get to speak before Jiang Fan seized the moment.”

“Do you think his words carry weight at the auction?”

“Consider who I am and what his status is.”

This explanation.

Cleared their doubts away.

Ji Ruyue’s charming face once again lit up, “That’s what I thought.”

“We’re here because of Junior Brother Ling’s grace.”

“Not some disciple without a Spirit Root!”

Many disciples nodded one after another.

They followed Ling Guihai into Box No. 1.

Liu Qingxian was astonished, “Ling Guihai may be annoying, but he does have some clout in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s auction house.”

“He really brought this crowd in.”

“Isn’t he afraid of displeasing the senior?”

Jiang Fan shrugged, “As long as they don’t make noise, it’s fine.”

As they stepped in,

Chen Luoyue arrived, asking, “Shengnan, has Young Master Jiang arrived?”

Wen Shengnan nodded, “Yes, he just went in.”

Chen Luoyue felt relieved.

To her, no guest today was more important than Jiang Fan.

She had arranged the best box for him to form good relations.

“By the way, where is my nephew?” Chen Luoyue asked, looking around with a frown,

“I worked hard to get him a chance to impress Young Master Jiang.”

“He’s not here yet?”

“Shouldn’t he be in the box waiting for Young Master Jiang? Does he want Young Master Jiang to wait for him?”

Wen Shengnan covered her mouth and chuckled, “Young Master Ling also went in.”

Chen Luoyue finally relaxed, “That’s more like it.”

“Go get my best Spiritual Tea, I’ll bring it personally.”

“Yes, Vice President.” Wen Shengnan immediately ran off.
