Reverend Insanity

One day later.

Dinner.

"Chang is extremely grateful to the noble son for saving our little girl this time. This first glass of wine must be dedicated to the Ma clan leader!" Chang Biao raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile.

Ma Yingjie quickly raised his glass and said modestly: "This is just a coincidence. Unexpectedly, I saved Master Chang Biao's beloved daughter. This is also an honor for this boy Hongyun."

"Hahaha." Chang Biao laughed and drank it all in one gulp.

Ma Yingjie also drank from his glass.

Ma Hongyun sat next to him and became the protagonist of the entire banquet. Dozens of eyes were focused on him.

Feeling these probing, curious, and doubtful eyes, Ma Hongyun seemed a little embarrassed.

Chang Biao gently put down his wine glass and motioned to Pan Ping who was sitting next to him with his eyes.

It had been discussed before. Pan Ping understood, looked at Ma Hongyun and said, "Xiannephew, tell me how you heroically saved a beautiful woman."

"I, I..." Ma Hongyun was speechless and speechless.

To be honest, he didn't know how he saved himself. At first, he only focused on escaping, with iron-beaked birds flying all over the sky behind him. The situation was so urgent, even if he saved Chang Li, he didn't think twice.

Pan Ping's eyes widened, unable to wait for Ma Hongyun to speak.

Fortunately, Chang Biao had already made a plan and figured out Ma Hongyun's character. At this moment, he turned his eyes and looked at someone in the table.

The man immediately stood up, came to the center, clasped his fists and asked for instructions: "Elder Chang Biao, gentlemen, I am one of the parties involved, and I have the honor to witness the whole situation. Mr. Ma Hongyun is generous and humble, and does not take credit for himself, but the villain is I couldn’t bear to let the hero be buried, so I boldly took advantage of the wine to tell the story to all the adults present.”

Upon hearing this. You will know that this person is a eloquent master.

Chang Biao nodded: "Then just tell me."

The man then spoke, and his words were clear and concise. In addition to being vivid in emotion, he also had ups and downs and was lifelike. Ma Hongyun is portrayed as a lonely hero, decisive, brave and resourceful, and not afraid of dangers.

Everyone listened,

From time to time, I applauded and praised each other.

Look at Ma Hongyun. They also changed one after another and became respectful, gentle and appreciative.

Ma Hongyun's eyes widened and he listened with his ears, as if he were listening to a book from heaven. He was in disbelief: "Is this person talking about me? When did I become so powerful? Could it be that he saw it wrong?"

There was another person who couldn't believe it, and that was Ma Yingjie.

Ma Yingjie is the head of the Ma family. How could a generation of heroes, who knew Ma Hongyun's temperament well, be coaxed by such sweet words?

On the surface, he smiled faintly, and when he heard the wonderful thing, he kept nodding, and looked at Ma Hongyun with approval, but he was thinking in his heart: "It is a coincidence that Ma Hongyun saved Chang Li. This is not surprising. But Why did Elder Chang Biao send a stooge to make such an explanation for Ma Hongyun? What is Chang Biao's plan? Although there are dozens of guests at today's dinner, there are only two real protagonists, and that is Chang Biao and Pan Ping."

Ma Yingjie was secretly wary.

The Ma family lost the royal court battle and turned from prosperity to decline. Ma Yingjie's master and father were both absent from the battle. Difficulties and setbacks made Ma Yingjie mature quickly and grow into a hero.

He secretly guessed Chang Biao's intentions. On the surface, he remained calm.

Today, the Ma family is in decline, but the Chang family is at its peak because of Fang Yuan! Pan Ping left the devil's path and joined the Hei family. Now he is an elder of the Hei family with a surname other than that of the Hei family.

No matter who it is. Neither the current Ma family nor the current Ma Yingjie can afford to offend.

"Okay, okay, okay." After the man told Ma Hongyun's heroic deeds, Chang Biao said three good words in a row.

"Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age." Chang Biao looked at Ma Hongyun and expressed his admiration.

After a pause, he continued: "It has been said since ancient times that heroes love beauties, and beauties match heroes. To be honest, since my little girl was rescued, she has often been taciturn and reluctant to leave her when she came back. I asked why, and I found out. My little girl has a heart that belongs to her, and she is very concerned about the heroic young man who saved her in times of crisis. I hold this banquet, firstly, to express my gratitude, and secondly, precisely because of this."

As soon as he said this, there was a huge uproar in the hall.

Countless glances, mixed with envy, jealousy, shock, and disbelief, looked at Ma Hongyun.

"What kind of bad luck does this kid have? To be favored by Miss Chang's family?"

"Chang Li is pretty and charming, but unexpectedly she fell in love with such a silly boy? Alas, if I had known this, I would have gone to the dense forest where the iron-beaked birds live."

"Although Chang Li is not Chang Biao's biological daughter, she was adopted since childhood and has always been loved by Chang Biao. She is the apple of Elder Chang Biao's eye. If Ma Hongyun marries Chang Li, his father-in-law will be Chang Biao. !”

For a moment, everyone's emotions were boiling.

Ma Yingjie quickly recovered from his shock. He thought quickly, but still had doubts: "Is this the reason why Chang Biao entertained us with great fanfare? Although Su Xian ran away at night, this thing is too good. Bar?"

Better things are yet to come.

In front of everyone, Chang Biao took out two silver relic Gu: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. My nephew is our young hero in Beiyuan, so we must reward him. These two silver relic Gu are a small thank you for saving my life. Please accept it, my dear nephew."

The noise in the hall couldn't help but get louder.

"Ah?" Ma Hongyun looked at Ma Yingjie in a hurry.

Ma Yingjie nodded slightly, pointed with a smile: "I dare not refuse the elder's gift, Hongyun, why don't you quickly kneel down and thank me?"

Ma Hongyun quickly left his seat, walked forward, and knelt down: "Thank you, Lord Chang Biao, for the reward."

Chang Biao laughed loudly, also left his seat, and handed the two silver relics Gu to Ma Hongyun's hands.

In full view of everyone, he patted Ma Hongyun's hand affectionately and asked, "How does my nephew feel about my little girl?"

"Ah?" Ma Hongyun looked up, blushing, and didn't know how to answer for a while. After brewing for a long time, I finally squeezed out a few words from my mouth, "Miss Chang Li is beautiful, very beautiful."

"Hahaha." Chang Biao raised his head and laughed, "That's good, that's good. My dear nephew, please go back and sit down."

Take your seat again and continue the banquet.

The dinner lasted from evening to late at night, and then the guests and hosts had a good time and left.

As the crowd dispersed, the deeds of the Chang family's daughter, the lucky boy Ma Hongyun, also spread widely.

On the next day, Chang Biao hosted another banquet for Ma Yingjie and Ma Hongyun. Only this time, the scale was smaller. It was no longer the big banquet before. Only a few people were invited to attend.

Ma Yingjie looked at the invitation in his hand with a serious look.

After coming back, he stayed up all night, thinking about this matter.

The small invitation felt extremely heavy in his hands.

He placed the invitation on the table and called his servants: "Go and summon Ma Hongyun to see you."

The servant quickly took the order and arrived at Ma Hongyun's residence. Zhao Lianyun was giving Ma Hongyun instructions: "You idiot, what kind of shit did you step on to get such a fate? But this thing is too good, but instead It makes people feel guilty. I think Patriarch Ma Yingjie will definitely summon you to ask about this matter. You just need to be clear about it when the time comes. There must be no hiding anything!"

"Oh." Ma Hongyun agreed immediately.

"Also." Zhao Lianyun rolled his big eyes, "Didn't Chang Biao reward you with two silver relic Gus? When the clan leader summons you, you should present these two Gus."

"What?" Ma Hongyun's eyes widened and he shouted, "I risked my life and got this with great difficulty! It's the Gu worms that Lord Chang Biao rewarded me with. I use them and I can be promoted to the second level immediately. Transfer to a higher level. What a great thing."

"You idiot!" Zhao Lianyun was so angry that he kicked Ma Hongyun's calf bone.

Ma Hongyun immediately hugged his calf and cried out in pain: "Why did you kick me again?"

Zhao Lianyun rolled his eyes and reprimanded angrily: "What do you know? Even if you become a second-level high-level person, what's the use of your skills? What is the foundation of our lives? We are not second-level people. Your cultivation is due to your relationship with Patriarch Ma Yingjie. How did you get promoted to the second rank? It was the three bronze relics Gu that Patriarch Ma Yingjie rewarded you with. You presented the silver relics to show your loyalty. Do you think the Patriarch Will he embezzle these two silver relic Gus from you? Humph, he has no use for himself, so he will definitely take them and return them to you."

"Hey, since he accepted the Gu insect, why did he give it back to me?" Ma Hongyun asked doubtfully.

"Idiot!" Zhao Lianyun rolled his eyes again, "The Ma family is now in decline, with few members and a lot of waste waiting to be revitalized. In the entire tribe, there is only one old Ma Youliang, a third-level family member, who is still disabled. Ma Yingjie has recently come to power, and there are not many people available. , he is dedicated to revitalizing the tribe, which is the time to promote talents and train confidants. Although your surname was once Fei, your surname is now Ma, and you were once Ma Yingjie's slave chief. Ma Yingjie knows you very well, and uses you to be more trustworthy than others. You Go and offer the Gu worms to show your loyalty, he will definitely be happy, and accepting your Gu worms will recognize your loyalty."

"But Ma Yingjie is by no means a stingy mediocrity. Accepting the Gu is just a gesture, and he will definitely return it to you. Why? It is to set an example and encourage the tribe to learn from your loyalty. I am sure that he will not only I will return you the silver relic Gu and give you more rewards. Although you are not capable, you are loyal. This is like buying a horse bone with a thousand gold."

Ma Hongyun was confused when he heard this: "What does it mean to buy a horse bone with a thousand gold?"

"Oh, you don't understand even after I tell you. Just do as I say. It will definitely be good for you."

"Oh." Ma Hongyun scratched his hair and agreed.

As soon as the two reached an agreement, Ma Yingjie's servant came to summon him.

Ma Hongyun obeyed and presented two silver relics Gu. But contrary to Zhao Lianyun's estimation, after Ma Yingjie accepted it, he did not return it to Ma Hongyun.

This made Ma Hongyun complain a lot about Zhao Lianyun after he returned.

"Could it be that I made a mistake in my estimation?" Zhao Lianyun was also a little confused.
