Chapter 1105: Appraisal Conference
o and Zhu Linlin were sitting in a private room at a bar, drinking with a young man around 30 years old.The man had brightly colored, dyed hair. There was a large wolf head tattooed on his chest, and...After the old man in black robes said that, Ling Yuanqiao's anger on his face eased a lot.
"Since my junior has used the summons, it means the situation is urgent. Sending only one disciple seems unwise."
"Junior brother, you've overthought this," the black-robed elder said. "The mortal realm is lacking in spiritual energy now, and those who cultivate are all from fallen martial arts."
One of our Nascent Soul stage disciples is already comparable to their Heaven Rank masters, and they are the kind that sweep through everything.
Even if the disciple doesn't succeed, in a few days, Kunlun Immortal Realm will be restarted. You can take action yourself then.
"As Master brother said."
Ling Yuanqiao nodded. He had no choice but to agree even if he disagreed.
Now that the Kunlun Immortal Realm is not open, their level of cultivation can't penetrate the seal at all. Only disciples below the Nascent Soul level can find loopholes.
Ye Bufan took Huang Xiaomei away from the Ling family and called Wang Xue凝 to report his safety.
Three people returned to the hotel together, saw Huang Xiaoqing after a simple tidying up their things, and moved to Century Huating's home.
After everything was settled, Huang Xiaomei said to Ye with a face full of apology: "Big Brother Ye, I'm sorry. I didn't help you get things done and caused so much trouble."
“It’s not your fault, you helped me; I should be thanking you.”
Ye Bufan thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll still go out with you tomorrow, but we won't walk together. We can deal with any situation as soon as possible."
With him around, I could immediately tell if we were dealing with a sinister cult or someone like Ling Hua's army, those lustful scoundrels.
The next day, everything concerning Haitang Pharmaceuticals was settled. Ye Bufan and Leng Qingqiu didn't go over either. The two of them left together with Huang Xiaomei.
Huang Xiaomei wandered around the front, they followed behind, keeping a certain distance, neither raising suspicion nor going beyond the range of their spiritual awareness.
It's a shame that after spending the whole day wandering around, I still found nothing. Not only were there no members of the sinister sects, but not even a single rogue who came up to chat me up.
As evening approached, Ye Bufan suddenly received a phone call from Guishanhua.
"Lao Gui, is something the matter"
Guishanhe said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, there's a treasure appraisal meeting at the Pang family tonight. I wonder if you'd be interested in coming along"
He is the head of the calligraphy and painting project at the vocational appraisal center, and also the deputy head of jewelry appraisal.
In the past few days, Ye Bufan cleared all levels effortlessly. Not only did he pass with flying colors in the calligraphy and painting competition, but he also directly reached the tenth level in the jewelry appraisal contest.
The later painting of the galloping horse was even more realistic, to the point of being indistinguishable from a real one. This completely convinced Guishanhe, who was amazed by it. That's why he invited me to participate in the appraisal conference today.
Ye Bufan asked, "What is a Treasure Appraisal Conference"
Guishanhe introduced: “The Pang family is a top family in Modu. The head of the family, Mr. Pang, has always loved collecting ancient artifacts and strange stones. He regularly takes them out for everyone to appreciate together, and occasionally auctions off some treasures. This is the Appraisal Conference.”
Ye Bufan thought for a moment, just wandering around here was not a solution. The Appraisal Conference would inevitably have a huge crowd, it might be better to go there and try his luck.
"Lao Gui, I'll go with you."
Ye Bufan got the time and place of the Appraisal Conference from Guishanhua. He didn't continue to wander around, and brought a few people back to Haitian Pharmaceutical together.
After dinner, he took a Mercedes-Benz business car from the company and went to an appraisal conference with several girls.
Wang Xue凝 was alone in the company, bored, and she also got on the car together.
Ye Bufan asked as he drove, "Which one of you knows the background of the Pang family in Shanghai"
Liang Qingqiu doesn't care about worldly affairs, so naturally, she wouldn't know anything about the Pang family. Huang Xiaqing and her sister were both ordinary people before, and they never interacted with Shanghai's upper class.
"Well, I actually know a few things."
Wang Xue'ning took over the conversation. As the president of Haitian Pharmaceutical, she had done some research on the upper echelons of society and prominent families in Shanghai since arriving.
The Pang family is undoubtedly one of the top families in Shanghai, their status rivaling that of the five major aristocratic families in Beijing.
The head of the family is Pang Kuòhǎi, but the old man is now getting on in years and doesn't usually take charge. He leaves all matters concerning the Pang family to his grandson, Pang Zǐlóng, to handle.
Ye Bufan said, "Compared to the Ling family, which clan is stronger"
"Compared to them, the Pang family is stronger." Wang Xue凝 said, "The two families have their own characteristics and many differences."
The Ling family is a prominent family in Shanghai, with a history spanning several centuries. However, they have gradually declined in recent years. Although they can still barely be considered among the top families, their strength ranks at the bottom.
The Pang family is quite different. It doesn't have a long history or much background, but it has risen remarkably quickly.
In just 30 years since its inception, it has become a top family in Shanghai, with absolute strength at the forefront.
Hearing Wang Xueni's words, Ye Bufan became interested and asked, "The Magic City is a major metropolis in China. It is full of dragons and tigers, with countless wealthy people. How did the Pang family rise so rapidly"
"That's hard to say," Wang Xue'ning said. "I've heard some rumors that any forces that opposed the Pang family during their rise all ended up disappearing suddenly."
Some say this is due to the Páng family's good fortune, unstoppable.
Some say that the Pang family has high-level support, and everyone who opposes them will be eliminated.
Whatever the truth may be, the Pang family has been incredibly successful over the years and are completely untouchable in Shanghai.
Ye Bufan nodded slightly. He was just idly chatting, and he wasn't really interested in how the Pang family truly was.
Time was short, their Mercedes-Benz business car arrived at the designated location for this appraisal meeting, the Qixing Club.
This club is privately owned by the Páng family. It looks unassuming and very low-key on the outside, but once you step inside, it's a different world altogether.
The entire club covers dozens of acres, with dozens of buildings of various sizes. In Shanghai, where every inch of land is valuable, this is definitely a manifestation of strength.
After getting off the bus, Ye Bufan called Guishanhua, "Old Gu, I've arrived."
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Ye. I'm stuck in traffic and it will take me a while longer," Guishanhe said apologetically. "Mr. Ye, I have already registered your information at the club. Just say hello to the security guard at the door and you can go in. I'll be there as soon as possible."
“Okay, I'll go in and wait for you.”
Ye Bufan arrived at the door, explained his identity, and the security guard, as expected, did not stop him but let him pass right away.
Several people walked into the club. The appraisal meeting was held in a separate exhibition hall.
This exhibition hall is entirely constructed of fiberglass. At night, when the lights inside illuminate, it appears bright and dazzlingly beautiful.
Although the official start of the appraisal conference hasn't arrived yet, it is already bustling with crowds and a lively atmosphere.
Ye Bufan's main purpose of coming here today is to attract the attention of those behind him, naturally the more high-profile the better.
That's precisely why he had all four girls dressed to the nines in elegant evening gowns, each one resembling a fairy stepped straight out of a fairytale.
Wang Xue'ning is sexy and alluring, while Leng Qingqiu is stunningly beautiful. The Huang sisters are pure and lovely.
These four stunning beauties by his side attracted countless eyes along the way, making it impossible to be low-key. he had initially anticipated. If left unchecked and unaddressed, they would likely worsen over time, potentially leading to self-harm or even mental breakdown."I know, you are the gift from heaven. I...
