Chapter 682: Get Out of Here!
One column on the left, one column on the right, people sitting in chairs, with many others standing behind the seats.
Fang Yu roughly estimated that there were about one hundred chairs in the two columns, and with the people standing behind them, there were at least two hundred people in the hall.
Judging from their luxurious attire, these were not ordinary people, but individuals of considerable wealth.
At this moment, these people were conversing with each other, and not many had noticed Fang Yu and Bai Ran’s entrance.
“There are so many people, and hardly any chairs left. Fortunately, we came relatively early,” Fang Yu said.
“Yes, there are still some empty seats in front. Mr. Fang, let’s quickly go sit down,” Bai Ran said beside him.
The two walked directly toward the front.
Since everyone was gathered on both sides of the hall, the middle was completely empty.
Therefore, Fang Yu and Bai Ran walking so boldly toward the front attracted quite a few glances.
Especially when they saw Fang Yu directly sitting down in a chair at the front of the left column, many people widened their eyes.
“What is Xie Tianhe doing?”
“Has he lost his mind?”
“Indeed, has he become too arrogant… how dare he sit down?”
Many who recognized Xie Tianhe discussed loudly.
By now, Fang Yu and Bai Ran had already sat down in two chairs at the front of the left column.
“Xie the dog, are you looking to die? Do you think you’re worthy of sitting there? Get up immediately!” someone shouted from behind.
Fang Yu turned his head to look at the bearded man and asked, “No one is sitting here, so why can’t I sit?”
“Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid? Do I need to explain why? Is this a seat for someone like you?” the man glared and said.
“Fine, I’ll change seats then.”
Fang Yu nodded, stood up, and sat down in the seat in front.
Seeing this, the bearded man’s expression changed, then he revealed a mocking smile and said, “Well, Xie the dog, you’re quite bold! If you’ve got the guts, keep sitting there, don’t stand up!”
Fang Yu completely ignored him, leaned back in his chair, and looked around at the people nearby.
By now, many people had noticed Fang Yu and Bai Ran.
They were all from Xidu and naturally understood the hierarchy of status there.
Whether in the left or right column of chairs, the front seats were arranged according to status and position.
The seats where Fang Yu and Bai Ran were currently sitting were at the very front of the left column.
These two positions… were reserved for representatives of Xidu’s top-tier families.
Fang Yu was currently disguised as Xie Tianhe, the controller of the Qinglan Society, with quite a reputation in Xidu.
But this was only in the eyes of ordinary people.
In this hall, the lowest-ranking were those standing behind the chairs… like the bearded man who had spoken earlier, who came from another large organization, the Hongrao Society.
In other words, the bearded man and Xie Tianhe were of the same rank.
Yet this man could only stand.
Those who could sit in chairs had higher status and came from various prominent families.
Xie Tianhe might seem like a powerful organization leader to ordinary people, but in front of these bigwigs, he was nothing more than a street idler, and no one took him seriously.
That’s why people reacted so strongly when they saw Fang Yu and Bai Ran sitting in the top positions.
Of course, despite this, none of those seated spoke up.
In their view, conversing with a street idler like Xie Tianhe would be beneath their dignity.
If he wanted to sit there, let him… when the real VIPs arrived, they would deal with him.
Fang Yu paid no attention to the contemptuous, mocking, and scornful glances around him.
In this world, hierarchies exist everywhere.
It’s just that other places don’t display it as obviously as here in Xidu.
The appearance of Fang Yu and Bai Ran didn’t cause too much of a stir.
As time passed, more and more people arrived.
The dozen or so empty chairs beside Fang Yu were filled one by one.
This meant that the highest echelons of Xidu had all arrived.
Their arrival order was like a rehearsed performance. The higher the status, the later they arrived.
When all the seats around Fang Yu were filled, more glances were directed at him.
The bearded man who had shouted earlier displayed a mocking smile.
In his view, this Xie Tianhe was simply courting death.
A minute later, the hall suddenly became agitated.
“The representatives from the Yuan family and Fu family have arrived!”
Everyone sitting in chairs stood up.
Four figures appeared at the entrance of the hall.
Two of them wore luxurious silk robes, adorned with light pink jade ornaments.
Fang Yu immediately recognized that these two were from the Yuan family.
“Indeed, it’s the Yuan family… what a coincidence.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the blood jade figurine in his hand, the so-called token of the Sand God Temple.
When he first saw this figurine, he had wondered if it was related to the Yuan family.
Now, his thoughts were confirmed.
The Yuan family and the Sand God Temple clearly had a cooperative relationship.
Apart from the two from the Yuan family, the other two dressed much more modestly.
These two must be from the Fu family.
Both families were represented by middle-aged couples, a man and a woman each.
“Greetings, Master Fu and Madam…”
“Greetings, Master Yuan and Madam…”
People on both sides respectfully greeted the two couples as they passed.
No one dared to be negligent.
Because they knew very well that these two couples were the most powerful people in Xidu!
With these two families appearing simultaneously, no one else could claim the spotlight!
The Fu family head, Fu Yousheng. His wife, Yuan Jiangmei.
The Yuan family head, Yuan Chenglong. His wife, Fu Zhaorong.
Indeed, these two families were related by marriage!
Fu Yousheng had married Yuan Chenglong’s sister Yuan Jiangmei.
And Yuan Chenglong had married Fu Yousheng’s sister Fu Zhaorong!
This was the most legendary marriage alliance in Xidu, with extremely far-reaching influence!
After that, the power of the Yuan and Fu families in Xidu… could be described as all-encompassing.
Of course, entities like the Sand God Temple existed beyond their control.
The Fu Yousheng couple and the Yuan Chenglong couple greeted each other and sat down in the two empty chairs at the front of the right column.
The Yuan Chenglong couple walked to the front of the left column.
Seeing Fang Yu and Bai Ran sitting in the chairs, the Yuan Chenglong couple paused, then their expressions darkened.
Fu Zhaorong, wearing light makeup, stepped forward and without a word, raised her hand to slap Fang Yu’s face.
Fang Yu pulled his head back, easily avoiding the slap.
“Xie Tianhe, what is the meaning of this?” Fu Zhaorong looked at Fang Yu and said coldly, “Are you worthy of sitting in our seats?”
Fang Yu remained composed and said, “If you want me to give up my seat, be more polite, don’t just start getting physical.”
Hearing these words, the surrounding people’s expressions changed, their eyes filled with surprise.
It seemed this Xie Tianhe had truly gone mad!
He actually dared to directly confront the Yuan couple!?
“You…” the woman glared at Fang Yu, her eyes fierce.
“Xie Tianhe, I’ll give you one chance. Get out of here!” Yuan Chenglong beside her shouted without courtesy.
His eyes were filled with intense killing intent.
