The idea was utterly absurd, yet Old Madam Su and her two companions couldn't help but suspect Ye Fan.
After all, when the Su Family was fretting over the invitation, Ye Fan had boastfully declared that securing an invitation to the Marshal's appointnt ceremony was a piece of cake for him.
Subsequently, Cao Xuan scoffed unendingly, claiming that he could get one too, and thus publicly phoned his father Cao Bin on the spot.
Not long after, Zhang Dabiao, the personal guard of Lin Wu from the Warzone, personally delivered the invitation to the Su Family. They all believed it was through Cao Xuan asking his father Cao Bin, having nothing to do with Ye Fan.
Looking at it now, it seed like they had made a mistake.
"Nonsense! The invitation for your Su Family was not arranged by our Cao Family!" Cao Bin said sternly, his face darkening.
With Cao Bin's words, not only were the three from the Su Family bewildered, but Cao Xuan was too.
Under everyone's gaze, Cao Xuan incredulously said, "What? Dad, wasn't the Su Family's invitation arranged by you? I called you at the ti, didn't you go and see Deputy Chief Zhou afterward?"
"See Deputy Chief Zhou?"
Hearing this, Cao Bin could hardly contain his anger. "Cao Xuan, you fool! I've already made it clear before, although Deputy Chief Zhou owes our Cao Family a favor, that favor absolutely can't be wasted on an invitation for the Su Family. How could I possibly use up that favor for the insignificant Su Family afterward?"
"I am telling you clearly now, the Su Family's invitation was not arranged by !"
"Damn it! No way?" Cao Xuan was imnsely shocked.
Originally, when Zhang Dabiao personally delivered an invitation on behalf of the Warzone to the Su Family, everyone thought it was him who had managed it, and Cao Xuan shalessly took credit at the ti.
In reality, when he contacted his father Cao Bin, Cao Bin firmly rejected his unreasonable request.
Seeing the invitation later, Cao Xuan thought his father Cao Bin was harsh in words but soft at heart and had gone to Deputy Chief Zhou of the Warzone afterward, to save face for his son.
But now, it seed that was not the case at all.
Cao Bin realized sothing was amiss and coldly looked at Old Madam Su, "Now I understand. We were ejected from the Cao Family for no good reason. Don't tell it's because you forged the invitation and were found out, but claid it was our Cao Family who forged it for you?"
"Cao Family Head, please don't misunderstand!"
Staring at Cao Xuan with a severe expression, Old Lady Su said in a panic, "The invitation was certainly not forged by us, it was he who personally delivered it to the Su Family."
As she spoke, Old Lady Su pointed towards Zhang Dabiao at the gates of the Warzone.
"Dad, that's right, it was he who personally delivered the invitation to the Su Family, and I can personally attest to it!" said Cao Xuan.
At the ti Zhang Dabiao personally delivered the invitation to the Su Family, he was on the scene. Even though so ti had passed, he recognized Zhang Dabiao at a glance.
Cao Bin cast a glance at Zhang Dabiao and with a black face ordered, "Nonsense! Do you know who he is? His na is Zhang Dabiao, the personal guard of Commander Lin Wulin, within the vast Warzone, no one but Commander Lin can command him. You, the Su Family, keep saying that Zhang Dabiao gave you the invitation, does that an it was Commander Lin's directive to send an invitation to the Su Family?"
"Hmph! Your Su Family is but a minor second-rate family, although you have the potential to step into a first-rate clan, surely you aren't significant enough to attract Commander Lin's attention?"
Over the years, Cao Bin had ford a good relationship with Deputy Chief Zhou from the Central Plains War Zone, so he naturally had heard of Zhang Dabiao.
"What? He is the personal guard of Commander Lin, and only Commander Lin has the power to deploy him personally?" Hearing this, all three mbers of the Su Family were greatly astonished.
Old Madam Su and her two companions were no fools, they knew that while the Su Family might be developing well, there was no way they could have contact with a super figure like Lin Wu!
All at once, the eyes of the three mbers of the Su Family beside Old Madam Su fixed intently on Ye Fan.
If the invitation wasn't secured by Cao Xuan for the Su Family, then there was only one possibility, that it was related to Ye Fan.
Su Yue couldn't help but be moved and said, "Could it be that we misunderstood Ye Fan? In actuality, the invitation was obtained by Ye Fan for our Su Family!"
"You're just realizing this now? Isn't it a bit late?"
As Ye Fan stared at the dumbfounded faces of the three Su Family mbers, the mocking smile on his face did not diminish.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Su Tianhao shouted out loud outright.
He held a huge prejudice against Ye Fan and would never believe that the invitation was obtained by Ye Fan for the Su Family.
The next mont, Su Tianhao analyzed aloud, "Currently, our Su Family is a Quasi-First-Tier Clan, it's possible that the Warzone made a mistake, mistaking us for a First-Rate Clan, and hence issued us the invitation. But they soon realized after sending out the invitations that we are only a Quasi-First-Tier Clan, not yet a true First-Rate Clan!"
"That's why the invitation for our Su Family was invalidated, leading to us being turned away at the door!"
"That makes sense!" Old Madam Su nodded her head in agreent solemnly.
Although Su Tianhao's analysis was far-fetched, it wasn't entirely impossible.
Hearing Su Tianhao's analysis, Ye Fan sneered, "How self-deceiving! The truth is already right before your eyes, why refuse to admit it? Is admitting that the invitation was obtained by , Ye Fan, that difficult?"
Originally, when the Su Family was worried about getting an invitation for the Marshal's appointnt ceremony, a group of them appeared deeply troubled. Coincidentally, at that ti, Commander Lin had been inviting him, and considering Su Ruoxue's feelings, he casually obtained one for the Su Family.
To Ye Fan's complete surprise, the Su Family mbers had the gall not to admit that the invitation was secured by him, instead thinking it was Cao Xuan who had done so.
It didn't matter to him at that ti, as long as Su Ruoxue could enter the Marshal's appointnt ceremony, he saw no need to fuss over it.
However, what enraged Ye Fan was that Old Madam Su had skin thicker than the city walls. Su Tianhao committed an unforgivable mistake; not only did Old Madam Su not suppress him, but she also gave the Su Family's representative spot to him, excluding Su Ruoxue.
In a fit of anger, Ye Fan contacted Lin Wu again, saying that if they wouldn't let Su Ruoxue in, then none of you shall enter at all.
"Grandmother, I've heard that even Third-rate Families have spent a large sum of money to buy invitations and sneak in. Our Su Family, being a Quasi-First-Tier Clan, is denied entry. Haven't you thought about the reason for this?" Su Ruoxue couldn't stand it and spoke up.
As Ye Fan's wife, Su Ruoxue naturally believed him unconditionally.
She was now aware of Ye Fan's past and knew that, with his current connections, obtaining an invitation to the Marshal's appointnt ceremony wasn't difficult at all; it was just that the Su Family was unwilling to acknowledge Ye Fan's capabilities.
Old Madam Su's face beca as cold as ice as she said, "Su Ruoxue, are you blaming ? You also said that they snuck in. If they are found out, they won't be able to enter just the sa!"
"Exactly, Grandmother is right. They're just lucky to have mixed in!"
Agreeing, Su Tianhao chid in with contempt as he stared at Su Ruoxue, "Su Ruoxue, don't tell you naively think that the Su Family's invitation was secured by Ye Fan?. If that's the case, then wouldn't Ye Fan know Commander Lin Wulin? If Ye Fan knew Commander Lin, then couldn't he enter the Warzone anyti he wanted?"
"I don't an to look down on you, but if today Ye Fan can take you into the Marshal's appointnt ceremony, I, Su Tianhao, will go and bash my head on a block of tofu this instant!"
