Chapter 141 Lin Fan Arrives at the City Lord's Mansion
Time flies, and the days pass by one by one. In the blink of an eye, the day of the banquet has arrived. On this day, the sun is shining and the breeze is blowing gently, as if nature is also adding a festive atmosphere to this feast.
Early in the morning, not long after the sun rose, Lin Fan got up early. After washing up, he changed into neat and decent clothes and hurried out to the Cultivation Alliance.
When he arrived at the Alliance of Cultivators, it was still early, but he couldn't wait to walk through the gate, went straight to the first-floor lobby, found a place to sit down quietly, and waited patiently for Zhang Wenyu's arrival.
About a cup of tea later, Zhang Wenyu slowly walked out of his office upstairs. He walked with steady steps and a composed demeanor, and was talking quietly with his entourage as he walked. When he reached the first floor, his eyes inadvertently swept around and he happened to see Lin Fan sitting in the corner.
Zhang Wenyu smiled slightly, then walked briskly towards Lin Fan. When he got close, he looked Lin Fan up and down before saying, "Lin Fan, you're here so early! I wonder if you've been waiting here for a long time? Actually, there's no need to be so anxious. You can rest a little longer. After all, there's still an hour before the banquet officially starts."
Hearing this, Lin Fan shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "Wenyu, you don't know, ever since I learned that today's banquet was by no means simple, I have been feeling uneasy and my thoughts are in a mess. How can I have the mind to rest! And to be honest, at this moment, besides being nervous, I am more excited than I can suppress. I really want to see who the legendary Liu Lei is, and what methods he will use to deal with us." As he spoke, Lin Fan involuntarily cast his gaze at his tightly clenched fists, as if to give himself some courage and strength in this way.
"Okay, then you just wait for me for a while. I do have some trivial matters to take care of here. After I finish, we will go to the City Lord's Mansion together." As Zhang Wenyu said this, he turned around and walked upstairs with firm steps, ready to deal with the so-called trivial matters he had just mentioned.
Lin Fan, who was sitting, stared intently at the four peerless martial arts secrets in his hands, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world. In the few days before this grand banquet was about to begin, Lin Fan devoted almost all his time and energy to the in-depth study of these four peerless martial arts.
At the beginning, he bought these seemingly mysterious martial arts manuals without hesitation only out of pity for the poor homeless man. To be honest, at the beginning, Lin Fan did not have high expectations and just regarded it as an attempt. However, what he never expected was that this inadvertent action actually brought him unexpected gains.
Since the name of the secret book "Afterimage Swift Steps" sounds particularly high-end and classy, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable, Lin Fan naturally chose to conduct an in-depth study of it first. After careful study, although the essence of the footwork he comprehended was not much, it was enough to make Lin Fan feel ecstatic. After all, it was not easy to gain something from such a mysterious secret book.
In contrast, another secret book called "Thunderbolt Whirlwind Slash" seemed to have no connection with Lin Fan. No matter how hard he racked his brains and pondered, he could not find even a trace of useful information from it. Perhaps this secret book was too profound and difficult to understand, or Lin Fan had not yet found the correct way to interpret it. In short, so far, it could be said to be of no use to Lin Fan.
As for the remaining two secret books, Lin Fan didn't even have time to read them, so he could only put them aside for the time being and wait until he had enough time and energy to explore them in the future.
After a while, Zhang Wenyu slowly walked down the stairs. His steps were steady and powerful, as if every step carried a certain purpose and determination. At the same time, Lin Fan, who had been waiting downstairs, saw Zhang Wenyu coming downstairs, and quickly stood up and tidied his clothes.
The two looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly. Without saying another word, they nodded in tacit understanding, and then walked side by side towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Finally, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Lin Fan looked up and saw that it was magnificent and majestic. Its tall gatehouse, exquisite carvings, and magnificent decorations were all awe-inspiring. Compared to the largest restaurant he had seen in Jigui City, this City Lord's Mansion was in no way inferior, if not even better.
If the restaurant in Jigui City is as beautiful as a fairyland in the sky, then the City Lord's Mansion in front of us is like an extremely prosperous palace, exuding an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
Just as Lin Fan was immersed in his admiration for the exterior of the City Lord's Mansion, a group of servants in uniform came up quickly. Seeing this, Zhang Wenyu calmly took out an invitation letter from his arms and handed it to the leading servant. After the servants carefully checked it, their attitude became more respectful, and then they led Lin Fan and Zhang Wenyu inside.
After passing through winding and deep corridors and bypassing exquisite and elegant courtyards, the servants finally brought them to the doors of two adjacent guest rooms and stopped.
One of the servants bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my lords. Please come in! These two rooms have been specially prepared for you. You can rest here at your leisure. If you need anything, please let us know."
"Then can we just stroll around this City Lord's Mansion and take a look around? After all, this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful and magnificent mansion in my life!" Lin Fan said with his eyes wide open and his face full of excitement.
"Of course, no problem. If you two have any needs, do you want us to give you a detailed introduction or directly lead the way for you?" The servant beside him responded respectfully.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we don't think we need to trouble you all just yet. We just want to walk around and have a look on our own." The two declined with a smile.
"In that case, we will not bother you any more. We sincerely hope that you can spend a happy and wonderful time here." After saying that, the servants bowed and took their leave.
At this time, Zhang Wenyu turned to look at the talisman and asked, "There's still some time before the banquet officially starts. I'm thinking of returning to the guest room to rest for a while. What do you think?"
"Haha, as for me, just like we agreed, I will definitely take a good look around this City Lord's Mansion. Don't worry, I will definitely be cautious and will definitely not cause any trouble." Lin Fan patted his chest and promised.
