You chose Dark Moonlight, why are you crying when I marry a beautiful, rich woman?

The car sped all the way and soon arrived at the Yunting Villa Community.

When Zhang Yuan and the other two stepped into the gate of the community, they saw an orderly and busy scene.

Liu Shengli was extremely thorough and had arranged everything here early on.

The hired cooks kept shuttling between the kitchen and the dining room. Several tables of sumptuous meals were prepared, and the aroma filled the air, whetting the appetite.

The entire courtyard was decorated with joy, with big red lanterns hanging high and colorful ribbons fluttering, creating a festive atmosphere everywhere.

As soon as Zhang Yuan appeared, Liu Shengli's face was full of enthusiasm, and he quickly came forward with more than ten members of the Yin Guimen.

He smiled broadly, his tone full of anticipation, and said:

"Elder Zhang, you're finally back! How's it going? Are you satisfied with my plan?"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuan immediately gave Liu Shengli two thumbs up and praised him generously:

"Satisfied, very, very satisfied! Thank you for your hard work, Brother Shengli. I didn't expect you to be so capable. It's much faster than I expected!"

Liu Shengli laughed heartily after hearing this, and his laughter echoed in the courtyard:

"Isn't this as it should be? Come on, let's go sit inside. I've arranged for people to greet people who will arrive later.

Those who are qualified to meet you will be brought into the house; those who are not qualified will be allowed to sit anywhere they like.

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded in response:

"Okay, let's go inside and talk."

Afterwards, Zhang Yuan and Liu Shengli went upstairs together and found a seat by the window.

The two of them sat down, the aroma of tea wafting from the table. They sipped the tea leisurely and chatted happily, their eyes occasionally glancing out the window, always paying attention to the movements below.

At this time, Liu Shengli turned slightly to face Zhang Yuan and reported in a low voice:

"I have notified everyone who needs to be notified, and now members of the Yin Gui Men are coming one after another to celebrate for you.

Everything is done in a very secretive manner. Even if that old man Hou Tiannan sees something, it doesn't matter. We have made all the necessary arrangements. When the time comes, we will have to fall into his trap."

Zhang Yuan's mouth corners slightly raised, a smile hidden in his eyes:

"Very good, then let's wait for Hou Tiannan to come."

Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, Hou Tiannan appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

He was seen striding into the courtyard with seven or eight men in black. The moment Hou Tiannan appeared, the eyes of the surrounding Yin Guimen members were drawn to him as if by a magnet, their eyes full of respect.

This shows that Hou Tiannan's status within the Yin Gui Gate is truly respected, otherwise everyone would not have such an instinctive reaction.

Hou Tiannan looked proud, as if he was the moon surrounded by stars. He raised his hand and waved casually to everyone, nodded slightly, and then strode into the villa.

When we got to the first floor, Liu Shengli's younger brothers, who had been arranged by him, were waiting to greet us.

When everyone saw Hou Tiannan, they hurriedly saluted respectfully. One of them stepped forward with a very attentive look and asked:

"Mr. Hou, would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Hou Tiannan pretended not to hear and asked directly:

"Where is Zhang Yuan? I want to go and congratulate him on the spot. Take me to see Zhang Yuan."

These younger brothers knew Hou Tiannan's temper, so they dared not stop him at all. They immediately took Hou Tiannan and quickly went upstairs.

As for Zhang Yuan, he had noticed something as early as when Hou Tiannan stepped into the gate.

After Hou Tiannan appeared on the second floor, he and Liu Shengli waited calmly in the living room.

At the beginning of the meeting, Hou Tiannan's face did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled brightly. He took a few steps forward, handed over an exquisite mahogany box, and said in a loud voice:

"Congratulations, Elder Zhang, for becoming the deputy elder of our Yin Gui Sect. I, Hou Tiannan, have come specially to congratulate you. I hope you don't mind, Elder Zhang."

Zhang Yuan wore a proper smile on his face, waved his hand, and spoke politely:

"Mr. Hou, it's my honor that you can come and congratulate me in person!

Don't worry, you are my benefactor who personally introduced me to the Yinui Gate. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Therefore, no matter what brilliant achievements I make in the future, I will never forget your great kindness, Mr. Hou.

Come on, come on, Mr. Hou, please sit down. You’re welcome.”

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan handed the mahogany box to Heitao who was standing beside him. Heitao took it steadily and put it aside. Margarina stood tall and stayed by Zhang Yuan's side the whole time.

Hou Tiannan seemed to be smiling, but he actually harbored contempt in his heart.

In his eyes, Zhang Yuan was just a young man who was ignorant of the immensity of the world. However, he thought he was great because he was a deputy elder. But in fact, in his eyes, Zhang Yuan was just an insignificant little character who could be controlled by him with just a flick of his finger.

Take Margarina for example, she was someone he had planted next to Zhang Yuan. With just one order from him, he could instantly turn her into a deadly time bomb, leaving Zhang Yuan dead without a burial place.

As for Liu Shengli, Hou Tiannan sneered at him even more, thinking that he was a guy who didn't know how to live or die and was trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. Even if he stood on Zhang Yuan's side at this moment, what trouble could he cause?

His strength has now returned to its peak, and he doesn't take a small Liu Shengli seriously at all.

With this in mind, Hou Tiannan's attitude towards Zhang Yuan took a sharp turn for the worse in the following conversation, becoming increasingly arrogant and rude.

As soon as they sat down and hadn't even taken a sip of tea, Hou Tiannan's expression changed slightly, and he said to Zhang Yuan with contempt:

"Dr. Zhang, what you did today was not at all honorable or wise. I must talk to you about this. You have to listen whether you want to or not."

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.

Zhang Yuan's face suddenly changed, becoming as gloomy as ink, full of displeasure; Liu Shengli's eyes were even more wide open, and his eyes were bulging, as if he wanted to stare a hole in Hou Tiannan. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was tense, like a bowstring that was stretched to the extreme.

Many members of the Yin Gui Men were also on edge, especially those standing behind Hou Tiannan. As if they had received some silent command, they had quietly assumed a fighting stance, ready to go, just waiting for the order.

Zhang Yuan tried his best to control his anger, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Hou, isn't that a bit too much?

What you said is clearly an attempt to sabotage me. I just held a meeting. What? Just because I'm the deputy elder of the Yin Gui Sect, does that mean I'm not worthy of meeting and getting to know everyone?

Why have you come to this point? "

Hou Tiannan laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke, and the mockery in his laughter was evident:

"Dr. Zhang, you're really just a greenhorn, completely clueless! So what if you became a deputy elder?

You held this meeting with great fanfare, and you got to meet everyone, but what’s the point?

What have you contributed to the Yin Gui Men? Have you obtained anything valuable?

Not a single one! Not only that, but they gathered everyone together. Isn't this a clear exposure?

Although the place you found is unusual, so what?

Once our people show up, District Seven will definitely notice it. Then your every move will be watched. Can you still keep your undercover identity?

So, am I saying you are wrong?

Can't you reflect on your actions? Just because you're a deputy elder, you're so proud of yourself?

Do you really think you are so great?"
