Ye Fan used the storage bag to put away all the Yuan stones and mysterious artifacts on the table, then put on his clothes and opened the door calmly.

There were a waiter inn leading the way and a middle-aged man wearing Cao's housekeeper's costume.

"Mr. Ye, my master has set up a family dinner and asks you to go to the banquet tonight. He also said that he would take out many fine wines he brewed in person to entertain you!"

When the Cao Mansion housekeeper saw Ye Fan coming out, he looked a little strange, but respectfully handed over a beautifully made purple invitation with both hands. Although Ye Fan was not on the "Donglai List", he participated in the rafting meeting and was already a well-known figure in the Wu Zun Realm in Donglai City.

Besides, Dean Cao Hao set up a family banquet, and this kind of treatment is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

There are countless talented martial arts students in the entire Donglai County courtyard, but only a handful of them can set foot in the Cao Mansion. Even Li Hao, Pan Yun, and Princess Ling Jiaojiao have never been able to attend the Cao Mansion family banquet.

This shows how much courtesy Cao Hao treated Ye Fan.

Naturally, the butler, did not dare to be neglected to Ye Fan at all.

"Family dinner?"

Ye Fan was a little surprised.

He thought Cao Hao was looking for him, but he just drank together with three or two, or found a small private banquet for a few more drinkers and a few.

But unexpectedly it was a family banquet in Cao's house, and usually such banquets rarely invite outsiders.

"Yes, the family banquet of Cao Mansion is only the family of Cao Mansion and you are the guest."

"Well, please reply to the dean, and the student union will attend the banquet on time!"

Ye Fan nodded and took the invitation.

After the Cao Mansion Manager gave the invitation, he did not disturb him and left with the inn waiter.

Ye Fan closed the door again.

The invitation from Cao's Mansion is tonight.

It's just dawn now, so there's no hurry.

Ye Fan slept steadily in the inn for an hour, recovered his vigorous spirit before getting up. For those in the Martial Master realm, sleeping for one or two hours a day is enough.

It's still a long time before night. Ye Fan didn't know what he should do.

After a moment of silence, Ye Fan finally thought of what he should do. He sorted out what he had gained today and learned from his experience in the future.

He quickly counted what he had gained today.

In addition to the rafting club at night, he harvested a lot of Yuanshi and a storage bag. During the day, he also got a lot of good things. Because almost all he answered the most difficult questions, he took away the best rewards on the tenth floor of the 10th boat race.

Like the third-level mechanical sword drawing, a second-level beast-gathering fragrance, a small gourd, a third-level fire cloud sorbet wine, ten boat racing tokens, etc., this benefit is no less than the harvest of the rafting club.

In addition to these wealth harvests, there is another important harvest, which is the experience of a life-and-death battle with Chu Hailiang.

The experience of this battle is obviously very valuable.

Ye Fan used to fight with the beast clan a lot and rarely fought with people, especially with the martial masters in the realm of Martial Masters.

The fierce battle with the beast tribe and the fierce battle with the martial master are completely different.

The beast bodies of the Sea Beast Lord are often several times stronger than those of the human race. However, they are not smart enough, so they often rely on instinct to fight. The beasts from tribes are better at group battles, such as the Green Wolf Tribe in the Scarlet Mountains, which can fight in legions. However, the scattered beasts in the wild rely more on instinct and rarely cooperate to hunt.

This led to Ye Fan using means to lure and kill the Sea Beast Lord, which was easy to succeed.

The body of the Martial Master is obviously weaker than that of the beast race, but the danger brought by high wisdom is far greater than that of the Sea Beast Master. As long as you make a small mistake and are caught by the enemy, you will be hit like a storm.

Ye Fan had a deep understanding of this. A short battle with Chu Hailiang was almost more laborious than a dozen sea beast masters.

If it weren't for the third-level Wuhou wine with a small gourd on his body, the burning wine liquefied into vitality and erupted with a powerful thunder pillar attack, he wouldn't have done anything to Chu Hailiang at all.

"It seems that in the future, we must not only enhance our combat experience with the beast clan, but also improve our combat experience with the human martial master. Otherwise, even if we have high cultivation, we will be at a disadvantage."

During the day, Ye Fan stayed in the inn without any trouble.

He thought that he might not stay in Donglai City for long and might go out to practice soon. Before that, he needed to prepare some items for use outside, so he went out to the streets of the city to stroll around grocery stores and purchase some things he needed in the future.

The second-level beast-gathering fragrance is a must. It contains a large number of strange fragrances from hundreds of rare fruit materials to attract sea beasts of the Beast Lord level. One can burn for a whole day, but it is expensive, up to three Yuan stones per piece.

Ye Fan purchased 100 pieces in one go, thinking about these things that he could use outside for a year or two.

As long as there are enough sea beast masters to provide a large amount of qi and blood, temper them into drops of blood essence, and increase your bloodline concentration.

Increase the concentration of each bloodline to meet the requirements of bloodline awakening. This is the most important thing for practicing the Martial Master realm. Then you can cultivate to the sixth and seventh level of the Martial Master realm as quickly as possible.

Ye Fan's large-scale purchases made the shopkeeper of the grocery store very happy. There were very few such big customers who purchased so many beast-gathering fragrances in one go.

The shopkeeper hurriedly transferred goods from various stores to meet Ye Fan's procurement needs.

Ye Fan went to the Xuanyou Merchant Pavilion again and unexpectedly saw a pair of second-level top-grade eight-color black silk soft hedgehog armor, refined from eight second-level top-grade black silk. This pair of soft hedgehog armor can be worn close to the body and has good resistance and defense against the eight-type vital energy combat skills.

Whether it is flame, ice, thunder strikes and wind blades, most of the power is offset when hit. Of course, this is soft inner armor and cannot withstand the heavy blows of the mysterious sword.

This pair of armor costs up to 2,000 Yuan stones, almost exceeding most second-level mysterious weapons and second-level mysterious armor on the market. Ordinary mysterious weapons and mysterious armor can be bought with about a hundred Yuan stones.

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and bought it.

No matter how many Yuan stones there are, you must have the life to keep the flowers.

Chu Hailiang was attacked by his thunder pillar and was paralyzed by strong lightning strikes, and ended up losing his life. If he wore such a pair of soft hedgehog armor, the thunder pillar might not work.

Ye Fan didn't know what danger he would encounter in the future. Wearing such a soft hedgehog armor close to him can prevent accidents and accidental sneak attacks.

Then Ye Fan bought some miscellaneous items in the shops on the street, such as healing pills, in case of emergency needs.

In the evening.

Ye Fan purchased the things he needed on the busy streets, and finally walked to Cao's mansion in Donglai City and was invited to the appointment.

In Donglai City, the Cao family is one of the few top clans with a large clan with a large clan. With the power and status, the Cao family ranks at least the top three in Donglai County.

This Cao family mansion naturally occupies a huge area, occupying dozens of acres of land in the luxurious blocks in the city, and there are countless courtyards and lofts in the Cao family.

The luxury of Cao's mansion is unimaginable, the doors are luxurious and noble, and the mansion is full of atmosphere.

The gate of Cao Mansion alone is comparable to the grand majesty of a Luyang Mansion.

Standing in front of the Cao Mansion was a row of more than ten guard servants, who were also the peak masters of the warrior realm. They even used two martial masters as the leaders of these guard servants in the early stages.

Ye Fan looked up and sighed in his heart.

When he practiced hard in Luyang Mansion Courtyard and reached the peak of the ninth level of the Warrior Stage, he was enough to become a first-class person in Luyang Mansion Courtyard and attracted the attention of everyone.

But in this Donglai County city, the peak of the warrior realm is just a servant of this wealthy family, not worth mentioning.

Even if the Martial Master, who looks noble and has a mediocre qualification and a normal future, can only become a servant leader of a wealthy family, just to earn a few Yuan stones every month.

"It's worthy of being the Cao Mansion! There are two Wu Zun's servants standing guard at the door. I'm afraid that Wu Zun will have more in other places."

Ye Fan thought to himself and handed over the invitation to the door.

Immediately, a steward of the inner court who had been waiting for a long time appeared and took him to the inner court of the Cao family.

Ye Fan walked through the luxurious courtyards of Cao's mansion and was secretly shocked by the greatness of Cao's mansion.

The front mansion was the residence of ordinary people from the Cao family, their children from the other branches, and their subordinates.

After a full moment, they finally arrived at the inner palace of Cao Mansion, one of which was elegant yard. This yard was not big, but it was the daily residence of Cao Hao, the head of the Cao family.

The inner-domestic housekeeper walked and introduced the courtyards along the way to Ye Fan.

Only the core children of the Cao family's direct descendants are allowed to enter and exit freely. Others, even ordinary disciples of the Cao family and the Cao family's side branches, must report to enter.

Today's Cao family banquet is small in scale, and only a few direct disciples will attend.

Ye Fan followed the butler of the inner palace to the other courtyard and arrived at a pavilion near the small rockery lake in the courtyard. A small bamboo forest swayed beside the pavilion, and the breeze was coming, which was very refreshing.

There is a long table mat in the pavilion, which can accommodate less than ten people.

I saw that President Cao Hao was sitting in the chief executive, with a beautiful woman and a beautiful girl sitting in the seat on the right. On the other seats, there were five or six middle-aged Cao people, young men and women, and everyone was drinking and laughing.

But there was a seat on the left of President Cao.

"Ye Fan is here! Come and sit here!"

When Cao Hao saw Ye Fan coming, he couldn't help laughing, pointing to the chief seat on his left and said.

"Students have met the dean!"

Ye Fan bowed to Cao Hao, and saw the beautiful woman's kind-hearted look, and he thought in his heart that this was a family banquet, he should be the wife of President Cao. "I have met Mrs. Cao!"

As for the others, I don’t know what their identities are.

President Cao looked like a middle-aged man, but in fact he was over 100 years old and his descendants were already full of children. They might be President Cao’s sons or grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They couldn’t guess it, so they were not very polite.

Ye Fan smiled faintly at them, and then sat down.

The faces of the young people in the Cao family changed and they were suddenly a little unhappy.

For any Donglai clan, arranging a banquet is a very important matter. Even if it is just a family dinner, it is no exception.

In this family dinner in Cao's family, an outsider actually sat in front of them and sat on the left and right heads with Mrs. Cao. Can they, the direct descendants of the Cao family, not as good as an outsider?

Moreover, Ye Fan is just a very early-stage Martial Master, and his cultivation is lower than all of them. Is it necessary to respect a guest who is not famous so much like this!?

"Dad, he is the important guest you invited tonight?! I have a saying that I can't speak up. My Cao Mansion is a grand clan of Donglai County, not a commoner! The ranks are clear, the old and the young are in order. Even if it's just a family banquet, the seats are still in order. If Princess Jiaojiao comes, I have nothing to say. Even if Li Hao is on the table today, he will stay behind the child."

A middle-aged man from Cao put down his chopsticks and said.

"Grandpa! That's it! He is an unknown young man, why is he listed as the left chief? If you spread it, how can we have the face of Cao?"
Chapter completed!
