Chapter 39 The Invitation of Zhan Kong
"Ah, how could I possibly like Fan Mo?" Xiao Ke covered her pretty face shyly.
Fengling, quite familiar with Xiao Ke, approached her with a smile and said, "This must be Xiao Ke from the City Monster Hunting Team. If you really like that Fan Mo, don't worry about what other people think, just go for it, just like I did."
As Feng Ling finished speaking, she suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Han and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
After kissing Jiang Han, Feng Ling ran towards the manor's meeting place without looking back. Jiang Han touched his face, still not having reacted.
Why did Fengling suddenly kiss me? Could she have fallen for me? Oh well, why think so much?
"Sigh, what a pity. If Jiang Han didn't have a girlfriend, Feng Ling wouldn't be bad off with him." Tong Kun sighed helplessly.
After regaining his senses, Jiang Han looked a little embarrassed: "Well, Mo Fan and I have something to do, so we'll leave first."
After Jiang Han finished speaking, he pulled Mo Fan and walked into the venue. Cai Tang saw that Jiang Han and Mo Fan, those two bastards, had left, and immediately said with a smile, "Alright, we should go in too."
"Don't you guys think that Mo Fan looks familiar? Like someone I know?" Li Wenjie paused, deep in thought, gazing at Mo Fan's retreating figure.
"Yeah, I feel the same way. His silhouette is a bit like Fan Mo's," Xiao Ke nodded in agreement.
Cai Tang looked at Mo Fan's back and said disdainfully (ˉ▽￣～): "Tch~~, how could he possibly be Fan Mo? His strength is worlds apart from Fan Mo's. If we hadn't arrived in time last time, this little bastard would probably have been eaten by that one-eyed demon wolf for supper."
"Forget about that kid, let's go inside."
Tong Kun and Mu Yuxin were not very clear about Fan Mo's affairs, and while Cai Tang and Xiao Ke were talking, they stepped into the manor's meeting place.
After several days of renovation, the manor's venue was beautifully decorated, with various high-end wines and exquisite foods lining the tables. Jiang Han and Mo Fan were both stunned by the luxuriousness of the venue when they entered.
"Big families are indeed big families; their extravagance is far beyond what ordinary people like us can compare to," Jiang Han remarked.
"Why are you worrying so much? There's so much delicious food, why not eat it all?" Mo Fan said, then rushed to the table and began to eat and drink heartily.
Mo Fan's words only made Jiang Han feel a bit hungry, so he joined Mo Fan's "sweeping squad".
While Mo Fan and Jiang Han were devouring the food, a bearded man dressed in the robes of a mage walked over after spotting the two.
"You two actually came, huh?" the stubble-faced man said with a smile.
Mo Fan turned around and, after recognizing the bearded man, smiled and said, "Oh, it's the head instructor! What brings you here? Are you here to freeload like us?"
"Nonsense, who am I? I'm here because that old bastard Mu Zhuoyun is lucky," Zhan Kong said arrogantly.
"Also, you two have offended some powerful families in Bocheng. Why don't you come to our Wei Fashi after graduation? With me protecting you, that old guy Mu Zhuoyun won't dare to do anything to you." Zhan Kong extended another invitation to Jiang Han and Mo Fan.
Jiang Han pried open the crab's claws, took a big bite of the succulent crab meat, and mumbled, "Why go to Master Wei? My dad said he's already the vice president of the Magic Association. What can that old bastard Mu Zhuoyun do to me?"
Jiang Han's father, Jiang Kun, had also heard of him. Jiang Kun was one of the top geniuses in Bo City back then. Before he became the military commander of the Bo City Guard mages, Jiang Kun was already at the peak of the intermediate-level mage. As for why he was only now serving as the vice president of the Bo City Magic Association, he didn't know.
If you were to say that Jiang Kun is currently only at the peak of the mid-level mage stage (as revealed by the Magic Association), Zhan Kong would never believe it.
Was he hiding his strength because of that incident? When Zhan Kong thought of this, his gaze towards Jiang Han changed, his eyes filled with sympathy and helplessness. He couldn't change the affairs of powerful families, especially those with such extraordinary influence.
"And you, Mo Fan? Do you want to join our Guardian Mage group?" Zhan Kong asked again.
Mo Fan refused without even thinking, saying, "No, joining the Guardian Mage and guarding the border all day would be so boring. I'd rather continue studying for the magic university and travel to other big cities."
"Oh dear, what's so great about big cities? Nothing compares to our Bo City post station, with its beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers," Zhan Kong persisted, unwilling to give up.
"Yes, yes, the mountains are green, but there are many demons. The water may be beautiful, but can you guarantee that when you lie down to drink, a terrifying demon won't suddenly leap out of the pool and swallow you whole?" Jiang Han smiled as he looked at Zhan Kong.
"You're ruthless, kid. I'll see how that Mu family girl humiliates you today." Zhan Kong was quite angry with Jiang Han.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very pleased that you could all attend my son Yu'ang's coming-of-age ceremony. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, we old folks have all grown old. I firmly believe that the future of Bocheng is in the hands of the young. As the saying goes, the student surpasses the teacher, and that's all I, Mu Zhuoyun, can do for Bocheng."
"I hope that in the near future, the talented young people of Bocheng will take over the city from me and make it even more prosperous in their hands. That's all I have to say. Well then, let's toast to the bright future of Bocheng." Mu Zhuoyun said, raising his glass.
"Alright, let's toast to the bright future of Bocheng!" The guests raised their glasses and drank together.
"That old bastard Mu Zhuoyun knows he's getting old, huh?" Mo Fan muttered disdainfully from the outside.
"Alright, why bother with that old guy? Your duel with Yu Ang is coming up soon, how are your preparations?" Jiang Han asked calmly.
"Don't worry, although I can't compare to a prodigy like you, I can still handle that guy Yu Ang."
"Mo Fan, your duel with Yu Ang is almost here. Aren't you going to get ready?" A pleasant female voice came from behind the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Han and Mo Fan turned around and saw that the newcomers were Zhou Min, Zhang Xiaohou, Xu Zhaoting, and several other student representatives from Tianlan Magic High School.
"Don't worry, my skills will definitely not bring shame to the school," Mo Fan said casually, waving his hand.
"I hope it's really as you say," Xu Zhaoting said indifferently.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohou thought of something and said, "Brother Fan, I heard that Uncle Mo is also on the invitation list this time. Is it that old guy Mu Zhuoyun who's behind this?"
"What's there to be afraid of? It's even better if my dad comes. Today I'm going to show him how I won," Mo Fan said confidently.
"With my father around, Uncle Mo shouldn't suffer any losses," Jiang Han said calmly.
Jiang Han's father, Jiang Kun, also knew about Jiang Han and Ye Xinxia's affair, so if Mu Zhuoyun were to take action against Mo Jiaxing, Jiang Kun would absolutely ignore it.
"Alright, besides my son's coming-of-age ceremony, there are two duel matches today. Both duelists are young talents from our Bo City." Mu Zhuoyun's voice came through the speaker again.
"There are also duel matches. It'll be a good opportunity to see the strength of our young talents in Bo City."
"Sigh, do you even know who these two are in the duel?"
