On one side, there is a row of seats, with people sitting on them. Behind the seats, there are many more people standing.
Fang Yu roughly estimated that there were about one hundred chairs in two rows, and with the people standing behind them, there were at least two hundred people in the entire hall.
Judging by their luxurious attire, these people are not ordinary individuals; they are all wealthy.
At this moment, these people were chatting with each other and not many of them noticed Fang Yu and Bai Ran’s arrival.
“There are so many people here, there aren’t even that many chairs left. Luckily we came early.” Fang Yu said.
“Well, there are still quite a few empty seats ahead. Mr. Fang, let’s hurry and sit down,” Bai Ran said from the side.
The two walked directly forward.
Since everyone was gathered on either side of the hall, the center of the hall was completely empty.
Therefore, Fang Yu and Bai Ran walked so openly forward, attracting the attention of many people.
Especially when Fang Yu walked straight to the front row on the left and sat down, many people widened their eyes.
“What is Xie Tianhe doing?”
“Is he insane?”
“Yeah, isn’t he getting a little too cocky… daring to sit down?”
Not many people knew Xie Tianhe, but they were loudly discussing him.
At this moment, Fang Yu and Bai Ran had already sat down on the two chairs in front of the leftmost row.
“Damn dog, do you want to die? Is that position something you can handle? Get up right now!” someone shouted from behind.
Fang Yu turned his head and looked at the man with a bushy beard, countering, “There’s nobody sitting here, why can’t I sit?”
“Are you playing dumb or are you actually stupid? Do I need to tell you why? Is this your place to sit?” the man said with narrowed eyes.
“Well, then I’ll just move.”
Fang Yu nodded, stood up, and sat down in front of someone.
Seeing this, the man with a bushy beard first changed his expression, then showed a teasing smile and said, “Well, Xie Dog, you’re pretty bold! If you have the guts, just keep sitting down, don’t stand up!”
Fang Yu ignored him completely, leaning back in his chair and sizing up the people around him.
At this time, many people have already noticed Fang Yu and Bai Ran.
They are all from Xidu and naturally understand the ranking of the powerful in Xidu.
Whether in the left or right column of chairs, the seats at the front are arranged according to status.
And Fang Yu and Bai Ran are currently seated in the front row on the left.
These two positions… are reserved for the seats of representatives from Xi Du’s top aristocratic families.
Fang Yu, currently disguised as Xie Tianhe, is the boss of Qinglan Society and has a prominent reputation in Xidu.
But that is only limited to what ordinary people see.
In this hall, the lowest ranking are those standing behind the chairs… For example, the bearded man who just spoke, he comes from another large gang, the Hung Yiu Society.
It can be said that the bearded man and Xie Tianhe are of the same rank.
And yet this man, could only stand.
Those who could sit on chairs had a higher status, all coming from prominent and wealthy families.
Xie Tianhe appears to be a powerful gang leader in the eyes of ordinary people… But among these big shots, he’s just a street thug. None of them take him seriously.
Therefore, the reactions of these people were so big when they saw Fang Yu and Bai Ran sitting at the top positions.
Of course, even so, not a single person sitting in the chairs spoke a word.
In their eyes, talking to a street thug like Xie Tianhe was simply beneath them.
He can sit there, let him sit… When the real owner arrives, he will naturally be dealt with.
For the contemptuous, mocking, and sarcastic stares that surrounded him, Fang Yu was utterly unconcerned.
In this world, any place has social classes.
However, other places don’t show it as obviously as Xidu.
As time went on, more and more people arrived.
A dozen or so empty chairs around Fang Yu were filled one by one.
This means that all the top-tier attendees from Xiadu were present.
Their arrival order was like a well-rehearsed performance. The higher the status, the later they arrived.
Once all the seats around Fang Yu were filled, more and more eyes turned to him.
The bearded man who had been shouting before, let out a smirk.
In his opinion, Xie Tianhe was courting death.
A minute later, the hall suddenly became agitated.
“Representatives from the Yuan and Fu families have arrived!”
The people sitting in chairs all stood up.
Four figures appeared at the entrance hall.
Two of them were adorned in luxurious silk robes, each with delicate pink jade ornaments adorning their bodies.
Fang Yu could tell at a glance that the two were from the Yuan family.
“Indeed, it is from the Yuan family… What a coincidence.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the jade figurine made of blood in his hand, which was also known as the token of the Sha Shen Temple.
Before, when he saw this statue, he wondered if it was related to the Yuan family.
Now, it confirmed his thoughts.
The Yuan family and the Sha Shen Temple obviously have a cooperative relationship.
Apart from the two members of the Yuan family, the other two people’s clothing styles were much more plain.
These two people, should come from the Fu family.
Both couples consist of a man and a woman in middle age.
“Master Fu, Mistress Fu…”
“Master Yuan, Mistress Yuan…”
People on both sides respectfully greeted the two couples as they passed by.
No one dared to slack off.
Because, they were very clear that these two couples were the most powerful people in Xidu!
Both of them appeared at the same time, and no one else on the field could compete for the lead role!
The head of the Fu family, Fu Yousheng. Wife, Yuan Jiangmei.
The head of the Yuan family is Yuan Chenglong. His wife is Fu Zhaorong.
Yes, the two families are related by marriage!
Fu Yousheng married Yuan Jiangmei, the younger sister of Yuan Chenglong.
And Yuan Cunlong, also married Fu Zhoryong’s elder sister, Fu Zhaorong!
This was the most legendary marriage alliance in Xidu, with far-reaching influence!
After that, the Yuanfu and Liu families’ power in Xidu…could be described as having their hands over the sky.
Of course, the existence of Sha Shen Temple transcends their control.
Mr. and Mrs. Fu Yousheng greeted Mr. and Mrs. Yuan Chenglong, and walked to the two empty chairs at the front of the right row, where they sat down.
And Yuan Chenglong and his wife walked to the front chairs on the left.
Upon seeing Fang Yu and Bai Ran seated on the chairs, Yuan Chenglong and his wife were taken aback for a moment before their faces darkened.
Fu Zhaorong, with light makeup on her face, stepped forward two steps without saying a word. She raised her hand and slapped Fang Yu’s face.
Fang Yu retracted his head and easily dodged the slap.
“Xie Tianhe, what do you mean?” Fu Zhaorong looked at Fang Yu and said coldly, “Our position is not one that you can sit in.”
Fang Yu remained unfazed and said, “If you want me to give up my seat, please be polite and don’t resort to violence.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around him changed, their eyes widening in astonishment.
It seems Xie Tianhe has truly gone mad!
To actually dare to confront the Yuan family couple head-on!?
“You…” The woman glared at Fang Yu, her eyes fierce.
“Xie Tianhe, I’ll give you one chance, get out!” Yuan Chenglong from the side said bluntly.
His eyes were filled with intense killing intent.
