Hua Chop returned to the national capital under the escort of the bodyguards, and it was already the end of the year. At this time, it is the busiest time in the world of Noble Phantasm.

There are various gatherings in the big family, and some institutions and departments will also make plans for the next year in advance, and their bulk purchases for next year will be determined before the year through some bidding and ordering.

Since he begged to see his father late at night, he was stopped by two monks, and the two monks did not receive any punishment from the family, some people with higher status did not take Hua Chop in their eyes.

Tonight, it is the annual family banquet of the Hua family, Hua Chop's father, Hua Bu is a filial son, his mother Hua Chop's grandmother is one hundred and ten years old this year, she is not a monk, this age is already a long life, usually rarely show up, only at the annual family banquet, children and grandchildren can see her.

Because her mother is going to attend, she attaches great importance to the family banquet and organizes it every year.

In order to please the head of the family, the main branches and side lines of the flower family will try their best to rush back to the national capital, and prepare a variety of gifts for the ancestors.

The family banquet is held in the Hua family's own banquet hall, and the Hua family must arrange seats according to their seniority and status, and place the name tag on the table in advance.

Hua Chop has heard a lot of ridicule during this time, and he has long been numb. He entered the banquet hall with a small box in his arms, and looked around, the table closest to the ancestor was made of elders, and the younger generations who could sit here were only flowers.

A little outside the circle is the flower is not short of brothers and sisters of the same generation.

Further beyond is the third generation of the Hua family, and the position opposite the ancestor is the three elder brothers of Hua Chop. His position should be next to the third brother. But today, in this position, there is another famous brand: Huaqing.

He frowned, and looked out again, it wasn't him, until he was three positions away, it was his name-last year, he was still sitting next to the third brother.

Before him, there were already a lot of people in the banquet hall, most of them the younger generation, and they had already seen the change in the order of seats, whispering secretly, with a lively banter on their faces, wanting to see if the fourth son of the unpopular head of the family would be annoyed and angry.

In that case, he would only bring shame upon himself.

The chief butler who was in charge of the entire banquet was also a monk, he stood by the door with his hands tied, followed by two powerful monks, who seemed to be careless, but he was already secretly vigilant, if the flower slash made trouble, he would immediately suppress it, and he was ten percent sure that the head of the family would not blame himself for this matter.

Hua Qing is the nephew of Hua Buluo, and the eldest son of Hua Buluo, the fourth brother of Hua Buluo.

Hua Buluo and Hua Buluo have the best relationship since childhood, among all the nephews, his favorite is also Hua Qing, Hua Buluo secretly instructed him to change the seat arrangement of the third generation this year, under the pretext of the third generation's "performance".

Seats are ranked according to the profit of the family business they are in charge of this year.

The three true sons who are not short of flowers are in charge of high-quality industries in the family, and they don't have to do anything, and they can make hundreds of millions of profits every year. They will, of course, be at the top of the line.

And Huaqing's industries are also quite numerous, not as good as those three, and they also firmly occupy the fourth position. As for Hua Chop, if he really follows this standard, he is afraid that he will be ranked after the tenth. Ranking him in seventh place is already the old housekeeper giving him face, if he is not satisfied, of course he will be unceremoniously suppressed.

Hua Chop heard those discussions, and also saw those gloating expressions, he stood in the doorway and hesitated, but still quietly walked over and sat down, without arguing with anyone.

A trace of contempt flashed in the old butler's eyes: sure enough, he didn't dare to make trouble. I don't have the capital, and I don't have the guts.

His evaluation of this "young master" was lowered a little.

Gradually, everyone arrived, and the three of Hua Qing saw that their position was in front of Hua Chop without any surprise, and they sat down generously, which seemed to be a matter of course.

Only the third brother Huayin showed a surprised look when he came in, and he glanced at the flower a few times, as if he had an inquiry.

In the whole family, only the third brother is very good to him and is a real relative. Hua Chu shook his head slightly at the third brother, signaling that he was fine. The third brother hesitated for a moment, glanced at the old housekeeper again, and sat down slowly.

The family banquet began soon, and of course Hua Buqian saw the change in the seat of the third generation, but he didn't say anything. The whole family, in this way that makes the parties have suffering, reaffirmed the status sequence of the third generation.

Hua Chu sneered in his heart.

Soon the ancestor came, and the banquet reached a climax. Everyone knows that the head of the family is filial, and he is very flattering to his ancestors, and all kinds of gifts are presented, and in the third generation, starting from Hua Fei, the eldest brother of Hua Fei, their gifts are more to reflect their hearts, after all, the industries under their names are all family's, and the funds they can use are limited.

And for really good things, if you want to get your hands on them, you need not only money, but also connections. In this regard, they are still far behind their elders.

This link was originally planned by Hua Chop and wanted to be a blockbuster. Song Zheng gave him a Centennial Pill, which was a sixth-order miraculous medicine that could extend his lifespan for about a hundred years.

In the Hongwu world, this miraculous medicine is not uncommon, because it can only prolong the longevity of ordinary people, and it is useless for monks.

But in the world of Noble Phantasm, this is a treasure that is hard to find! Especially for the ancestors.

When the third generation presented the gift, the third brother Huayin was followed by Huaqing, but the ancestor did not say anything, he accepted the gift with a smile, and it seemed that he didn't remember that there was a flower chopping the whole person.

When it was Hua Chop's turn, he didn't take out the hundred-year-old pill, but casually changed it to a jade pendant that he carried with him.

The ancestor was still smiling, not satisfied or dissatisfied, and let the flower go down after receiving the gift, and never asked about everything about him.

Hana returned to her place and drank silently. But not far from him, there were several third-generation people exchanging glances with each other, and the target was Hua Chop.

They seemed to agree on something, and each nodded.

After the family feast, according to the customary practice, the elders drank tea and talked, and the third generation arranged some entertainment. Of course, the original intention of this kind of activity is to allow the third-generation heirs, who have not seen each other much in a year, to connect with each other and find a partner who is like-minded with them.

But this year, someone suddenly proposed, "We've got enough of them, let's have a ball game." ”

The first sport in the world of Noble Phantasms is the "Army Formation Ball", where two teams of 11 people each, like marching and fighting in ancient times, lined up to attack each other. Encouraging normal body collisions often makes people's blood boil when they watch.

There are thirty people present today in the third generation, all of whom are already adults, and there are twenty-seven left except for the three girls. Hua Chop was used to stepping aside, and this kind of activity has always been very repulsive to him.

But today, someone suddenly shouted to him: "Hua Chop, let's play together, you won't dare, right?"

A few people laughed, Hua Shu frowned, he knew, it was a few children of the fourth uncle's family, and the eldest was called Hua Jian. Just now, they were behind their seats, and they seemed to be a little dissatisfied and wanted to vent it on themselves.

He thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay." ”

The third brother Huayin grabbed him, looked at the swordsman, and said in a low voice: "You be careful, when you play for a while, try to get as close to me as possible." ”

Hua Chu smiled: "Thank you, third brother." ”

He said in his heart, "But I have the ability to protect myself now." Song Zheng gave him seven miraculous pills and told him that he could also practice by taking the elixir.

He has already eaten three pieces, and he can't see it on the outside for the time being, but he can already feel the lively spirit yuan in his body, according to the division of the treasure world, this side can be regarded as a success in "building a foundation", and for ordinary people, he is already a powerful cultivator.

The game starts soon, and you come and go. Hua Slash quickly understood that Hua Jian and a few brothers were dangling around him from time to time.

After a quarter of an hour or so, they finally found their chance. After a moment of confusion, the ball suddenly landed in front of Hana, and he grabbed the ball and began to sprint.

Foil's brothers pounced together.

The boss Hua Jian Tiger had his back on his back, lowered his head and roared angrily, and aimed the hard protective gear on the halved head at Hua Slash's abdomen and slammed it over.

"Fourth!" Huayin couldn't save him, and shouted anxiously.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound, and the adult body collided, but Hua Jian sat on the ground, and the violent vibration made his brain buzz, and he still didn't understand: What's the matter? That kid looked emaciated, how could he rush over?

Several of Foil's brothers scrambled to chase and intercept them all the way.

Hua Chop held the ball and ran wildly, but his weak body was like a powerful mechanical immortal armor, he didn't have any technical dodge, as long as someone blocked him, he would directly hit it.

Several of the brothers of Flower Foil were knocked to the ground in an instant, and seeing that Flower Slash was about to cross the baseline to score, Flower Foil suddenly roared and rushed from the side.

Huayin hurriedly straightened up and yelled, "Foul!"

Huajian ignored it and slammed into Hua's waist from the side. Foil closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it, only to hear a bang, followed by Foil's screams.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the fourth brother rushing across the bottom line with the ball, his arms clenched into fists and raised high.

And the foul sneak attack of the foil, painfully fell to the ground and screamed uncontrollably.

Several of Hua Sword's brothers rushed up at once and surrounded Hua Slash, pushing him hard: "You want to kill someone, don't you?"

The hand of the flower slash grabbed the hand that was pushing against his chest like lightning, and with a click, the bone snapped. In the confusion, he was no longer polite, grabbed the necks of the two people, raised them high, and smashed them to the ground, and the two fainted on the spot.

In an instant, only the last of the four brothers of Flower Sword remained, he was the most cunning, hiding behind, reaching out and taking out a pocket combat equipment from the protective gear, and rushing towards Flower Slash with a hideous face: "You go to die!"
