"Sky Thief Rat, call grandpa." Xiang Yu stood in front of him, chuckling, with an undeniable trace of a smug expression on his face.
Sky Thief Rat’s face turned ashen. He didn’t believe what Xiang Yu said about joining Hongn in the previous generation; it was all nonsense. But now, everyone believed it, and he had no choice.
Hong Jinbao’s expression wasn’t good either. As the Sect Leader of Hongn, he had to prioritize the bigger picture.
If things got out of hand, it might trigger dissatisfaction from the Holy Mouse Hall.
"Call him grandpa, call him grandpa..." The people around began shouting, and their voices were in unison, making the scene spectacular.
Xiang Yu was now able to lead them, which already demonstrated Xiang Yu’s capability.
"Impossible." At this mont, Sky Thief Rat suddenly shouted, his face twisted like a fierce ghost.
As soon as his voice was heard, everyone around fell silent.
"If you want to call you grandpa, dream on. Xiang Yu, today’s humiliation I will repay sooner or later." Sky Thief Rat yelled.
Xiang Yu wasn’t easily frightened. In the past, he would have been sowhat wary of the Sky Thief Rat.
After all, the Holy Mouse Hall was the largest hall within Hongn, with a power much larger than their Heavenly Dragon Gang.
But now he was a candidate of Hongn, and in a while, he’d beco the Vice Sect Leader, so he wasn’t afraid of the likes of Sky Thief Rat.
The people around began to curse when they understood Sky Thief Rat’s words.
Indeed, the people of the Holy Mouse Hall were the most shaless, and their Hall Master was the epito of shalessness.
At this mont, Xiang Yu waved to the crowd, and everyone imdiately quieted down.
Xiang Yu said gracefully, "If that’s the case, then forget it. I was just joking after all."
This graceful deanor of Xiang Yu surprised Hong Jinbao a little. He nodded quietly in his heart, feeling assured in handing Hongn over to Xiang Yu.
At this ti, in Hong Jinbao’s heart, he was also secretly comparing Yuan Huai and Xiang Yu. Yuan Huai’s personality was relatively gentle, perhaps destiny had its own plans, and this position was reserved for Xiang Yu.
"Let’s not pursue this matter any further. It’s over now." Xiang Yu shouted.
His words worked, and even though people were angry, they all stayed quiet.
Seeing this, Hong Jinbao stepped forward, then gestured for all Hall Masters to be seated, and for everyone else to return to their positions.
"Since the trial is over, I announce that Xiang Yu has beco a candidate of Hongn. Tomorrow at 8 a.m., at this sa place, we will hold a ceremony for the candidate’s promotion to Vice Sect Leader. If you wish to attend, you can co and see. Today ends here." Hong Jinbao shouted.
As soon as Hong Jinbao spoke, the surroundings beca lively. They initially thought they had co in vain, but it turned out to be so exciting, and they were satisfied.
After today, the Holy Mouse Hall was thoroughly disgraced. It’s estimated that no other halls will associate with them, and those with self-respect will likely turn to other halls.
Jin Guozhong then hurriedly stepped forward, patted Xiang Yu’s shoulder, and said, "Congratulations."
Several other Hall Masters also ca forward to congratulate Xiang Yu. Although they were not convinced at heart, they still had to do their formalities well.
Xiang Yu was not modest and accepted their congratulations rightfully.
Many people in Hongn surrounded them, as they wanted to take a few more looks at Xiang Yu. After today, they might not have many opportunities to see such a prominent figure.
Later, they could boast in front of their companions about having cheered and supported Xiang Yu back in the day.
"I’m treating today. Let’s all go together." Hong Jinbao laughed there.
The Hall Masters all nodded in agreent, except for Sky Thief Rat, who gritted his teeth and had soone push him out.
Hong Jinbao did not ask him to stay and just let him go.
Hearing that Hong Jinbao was treating them to dinner, Xiang Yu showed a frightened expression and said, "I can’t afford to eat your al. My leg is injured and needs treatnt, so I’ll leave first."
As Xiang Yu spoke, he leaned on a crutch and walked outside. At this mont, Jin Guozhong quickly blocked Xiang Yu and said, "Don’t rush to leave. Let’s all have a al together to let the Hall Masters get to know you better."
Xiang Yu, seeing their earnest invitation, nodded and agreed.
The Hall Masters were delighted and surrounded Xiang Yu, talking non-stop, mostly praising Xiang Yu’s excellent skills.
"You co along as well," Hong Jinbao said in front of Yuan Huai.
Yuan Huai shook his head and smiled, "I’ll pass. I’m not with Hongn anymore, and I’ve quit drinking, so I won’t disturb your enjoynt."
Hong Jinbao nodded as Yuan Huai had beco a past legend in Hongn, and it was not appropriate for him to appear here again.
"I have arranged other rooms for you to join them," Hong Jinbao arranged everything and then called the Hall Masters along.
Yuan Huai and a few others were led to another place.
"Will brother be okay?" Xiao Xuan worriedly asked Yuan Huai.
Yuan Huai mysteriously smiled and said, "Whether he’ll be okay depends on his alcohol tolerance. Today is their first ti sitting together, so they will definitely test Xiang Yu’s drinking capacity."
After Yuan Huai’s words, Xiao Xuan and Tie Zhuzi both laughed without saying more.
Yuan Huai understood why they laughed; it must be because Xiang Yu had a strong drinking capacity. But even if he could drink a lot today, he would surely get drunk.
Because these Hall Masters all had strong drinking capacities, they would inevitably unite and get Xiang Yu drunk, which had been a tradition.
Once everyone is drunk, past grievances are wiped clean.
Poison Rose also went along, as she needed to be present on such occasions. And Leng Chan went with Yuan Huai to another place.
"Were you the forr Vice Sect Leader?" Leng Chan looked at Yuan Huai.
When Yuan Huai brought Xiang Yu in, Leng Chan had first looked at Yuan Huai as a master, and even mistook him for Xiang Yu.
Yuan Huai shook his head and smiled, "It was all in the past, no point in ntioning it."
"I want to ask you about soone," Leng Chan looked at Yuan Huai, "His na is Lu Xiaofeng."
Upon hearing this na, Yuan Huai was shocked, his face changed, then he looked at Leng Chan, but then Yuan Huai beca sowhat dazed and shook his head, "Never heard of him."
Leng Chan was no fool. She noticed Yuan Huai’s facial expression change, but since there were a few people around, she didn’t pursue it further. She then joined them for dinner.
On Xiang Yu’s side, he was ushered into a luxurious room, which was a place Hong Jinbao used to entertain VIPs.
When Hall Masters gathered before, it was always in this place.
Hong Jinbao had already prepared the food and drinks, knowing that whether or not Xiang Yu beca the candidate, today would involve a drinking spree, as it was a warning from the Hall Masters to the candidate.
"I can’t handle my drinks, can I avoid drinking?" Xiang Yu pleaded pitifully...
