Chapter 305: Welcome
When Lin Ran took Du Ming to the gate of the mansion, there were already several immortal officials standing at the door. It was not very high, and they should all be like five or six grades.
"Congratulations on Lord Lin's fall into the house!"
"Congratulations, a little bit, please accept it!"
As soon as the immortal officials saw Lin Ran, they immediately came over with a smile and stuffed things into Lin Ran's arms.
When holding a house banquet, the invited immortal officials will prepare some gifts, which means that the importance of gifts depends on friendship or the importance of Lin Ran.
"Ha, you're welcome. Please invite inside." Lin Ran greeted him with a smile, took the gift and handed it to the servants next to him. Then several servants stood up and took them in.
"Do you think I made money after this banquet?" Lin Ran said to Du Ming next to him with a smile on his face.
Du Ming took an account book, looked at the gift in his hand, and recorded it in the account.
"Well, the god of food helped you with all the food and drink supplies at the banquet. Strictly speaking, it's profitable."
"Haha, that's good. It will be held a few more times in the future." Lin Ran laughed.
Du understood Lin Ran at a glance. Is this kind of party really good that this kind of banquet can be held casually?
"Save it. This time, there is a food god as a big mistake. I just went to the kitchen to have a look. The things in it are all good. If you use ten golden elixir, you may not be able to exchange them back. The god of food seems to like you very much. You can walk more with him in the future, which will be good for us.
"What? Are ten golden elixirs not enough? Tut, it seems that the god of food has really made a lot of blood! However, I feel that his official position is quite oily. Du Ming's words raised Lin Ran's affection for the god of food to another level.
Ten golden elixirs are very valuable. Generally, immortals can't get one in their lifetime! The god of food really made a lot of blood this time.
Soon, immortal officials began to arrive in an endless stream, but they were all about five grades, and only two of the fourth grade, which made Lin Ran a little worried.
If you want to say that a senior official doesn't come, don't you have to be very faceless? Thinking about him, he is extremely anxious.
At noon, the first senior official was finally ushered in! Taishang Laojun!
"Haha, Laojun, you are finally here." Lao Jun took several attendants with a smile on his face. The reason why he did not host a house banquet for Lin Ran was to see how Lin Ran's prestige in the fairyland was now.
"That's good, boy, I can do it myself. This is a gift. Take it." Lao Jun laughed and handed Lin Ran a black box.
Lin Ran really wanted to take it apart on the spot, but he finally put up with it. After all, it was impolite so that Lao Jun would not scold him again. Originally, Lin Ran thought that Lao Jun would come at the beginning of the dinner, but he didn't expect to arrive at noon. Lin Ran was still very grateful that such a giant in the fairyland could do this.
"Hey, Laojun, please sit inside, Wang Yu! Take Laojun in!"
Where has Wang Yu seen such a person as Lao Jun? He hurriedly greeted him, and his legs trembling, and carefully led Lao Jun in.
Soon, Ning Yu and his master also came. Seeing Ning Yu, Lin Ran's heart warmed. Their relationship was confirmed when they went to the divine world that day, but because of the heavenly kingdom, they can't let others know.
Thinking that he didn't go to see Ning Yu when he came back, Lin Ran felt a little guilty, but now is not the time to talk about love. Many senior officials have come, and Lin Ran can't neglect him.
A few words of compliments from Ningyu's master asked his men to take them into the mansion.
"Ghost Tianjue is coming." Du Ming said strangely that Lin Ran was chatting with a third-grade fairy official. Hearing such a sentence, he immediately turned his head.
Gui Tianjue walked to Lin Ran with a strange smile, dressed in black clothes and a box in his hand.
Lin Ran motioned his men to take the three-grade immortal official in and looked at Gui Tianjue. His hand had grown again, and his cultivation had also reached Xuanxian. Lin Ran sighed in his heart that it seemed that Gui Tianjue's talent was indeed not covered. He was beaten back by himself, and now he has only rushed to Xuanxian again for a month.
"Lord Ghost can come, I'm really shining!" Lin Ran smiled as if he had met an old friend.
"Ha ha, how can I not come to the house banquet? This is a small gift. I don't respect it. Please don't dislike it!" Gui Tianjue is also full of smiles, and people who don't know really think they are friends.
"The canopy is coming." Du Ming reminded.
"Lord Ghost, please sit inside and eat and drink whatever you want, haha." Lin Ran didn't want to say anything to him, so he asked his men to lead the ghost Tianjue in.
"I'm curious, how many senior officials will come? You are a champion. Well, you shouldn't be worse than me at that time, right? Gui Tianjue whispered when he passed by Lin Ran.
Lin Ran's face tightened, and then smiled faintly, "It's hard to say. I don't rely on others. How can a senior official give me face?"
The tit-for-tat between the two made Du Ming really speechless. You said that you had nothing to fight at other times, but now it's time to welcome guests at a house banquet. How can you neglect others?
Gui Tianjue didn't say anything. He shrugged his shoulders and followed his servants in.
"Haha! You can do it!" Tianpeng gave Lin Ran a big hug as soon as he came. He has always admired Lin Ran and is naturally very happy to see that he can achieve today's achievements.
"Marshal is joking, isn't he? Without you and Lao Jun, how can I be Lin Ran today? Lin Ran smiled and said that what he said was also from the bottom of his heart.
If Lao Jun and Tianpeng hadn't dug out Lin Ran, he wouldn't know where he was still mixed up now.
"Okay, stop talking about meaty words. You're busy now, so I won't say anything more. Here's a gift. Take it." Tianpeng was not talkative. He directly threw a golden box to Lin Ran, and then followed Lin Ran's servants into the mansion.
Soon, Chang'e also came with the rabbit. The rabbit still quarreled with Lin Ran as before, but Chang'e didn't say much, just a few congratulations. This made Du Ming next to him very curious and didn't know what had happened between Lin Ran and Chang'e.
Chang'e was sent away, and many immortal officials came one after another. This time, they are basically like four grades, but there are no people above the second grade except Lao Jun and one or two civilian officials. There are many of the third grade, and they are also from the Laojun faction. In addition to Tianpeng, there is also Ghost Tianjue, and there is really no one else to come.
"How many have you come?" Lin Ran frowned slightly and asked Du Ming, who remembered things in the notebook next to him.
Du Ming's face was a little ugly. "There are a lot of first-class Laojun, second-grade Dongdouxingjun, and there are many third-grade, 16 third-grade, 32 fourth-grade, and almost 100 fifth-grade and sixth-grade, but they are all civil servants."
Lin Ran's eyes narrowed, "It seems that Li Jing Erlang is really going to lose my face! I don't know whether the Jade Emperor will come or not.
Du Ming sighed, "Don't expect the Jade Emperor. If you can come, Li Jing and the others will definitely come. Now it seems that alas..."
The immortal officials who have already sat in the banquet hall are chatting with each other. In fact, they are absent-minded and want to see who Lin Ran can invite this time.
Laojun sat in the right position and frowned slightly. This time, there were indeed fewer people, and there were few senior officials, and the two or three immortals of their faction did not come to the third floor. It seems that many people, whether I am a civilian or a military officer, are dissatisfied with Lin Ran's rapid rise. If there are no bigwigs, Lin Ran's champion will fall below Gui Tianjue and Liu Ming.
Next, several senior officials also came, three of the second-grade, all of whom are from the Laojun faction, and more than ten third-grade. Roughly, there are 200 immortal officials, but there are not many high-ranking officials! It made Lin Ran scold his mother angrily.
"It's paralyzed. The banquet is about to begin. Are they really not coming?" Lin Ran stood at the door of the mansion and said helplessly.
Du Ming also looked depressed, "I don't think I will come. Oh, forget it, it's good to come so much. It's about to start. You, the host, can't stay here. You have to go in and accompany them, otherwise you will be criticized. When the immortal officer comes down, I will report that you can come out to greet them.
Lin Ran came to the banquet hall with an extremely unhappy mood, took a deep breath, and strode in with a smile on his face.
Although the banquet has not officially started, everyone is allowed to take drinks and other things for trading purposes. Immediately, someone came to greet Lin Ran and congratulate them, and Lin Ran also smiled and responded one by one.
"What? Just these people?" Gui Tianjue came to Lin Ran with a wine glass and whispered sarcasm. He came here to see Lin Ran's embarrassment now.
Lin Ran's expression kept smiling, but his tone was also very indifferent. "It's not the end. What's the hurry?"
"Ha ha, don't worry." Gui Tianjue shook his head and walked back to his position.
Seeing that the banquet was about to start, Li Jing and his giants still did not come, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little strange. If Lin Ran, the champion, had so many people, and there were less than ten people above the second grade, it would be too pitiful. They all whispered below.
"It seems that Lin Ran is going to lose face this time, and even few of Laojun's faction will come."
"The military officer led by Li Jing will not come. This time, I don't know why Lao Jun didn't hold a house banquet for Lin Ran, otherwise he would not be so embarrassed."
"It seems that Lin Ran is very unpopular! Many people don't like him.
Everyone had different opinions. Although he didn't say it loudly, Lin Ran could still hear it vaguely and his face became difficult to look at.
" Paralyzed! Are you really going to lose face by them this time? Lin Ran cursed in his heart and almost wanted to jump over and beat those talking fairy officials to death.
"Your excellency! What a show! What a show! Come out and greet me!"
At this time, Du Ming's voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of Lin Ran's heart, and he was extremely excited. Lin Ran was stunned, and then he was ecstatic and strode out.
