?Chapter 124: Choosing an Opponent
As the Prefect Tournament drew near, the tension mounted. Even Tang Maoshan shut himself away, cramming at the last minute.
Though the others wouldn't be taking part in the tournament, they were still worried. They were all Hua Yunfeng's people now, of course they hoped his influence would grow.
To rally everyone, especially Bi Fan and Tang Mao,
Hua Yunfeng personally came to invite Bi Fan. Bi Fan said, "Brother Feng, you know I hate attending banquets like this. I'll sit this one out."
"Brother Bi, you're one of the most important people here. You can't skip it. At least do me the favor," Hua Yunfeng said with a smile.
"All right, for your sake, Brother Feng." Bi Fan couldn't refuse.
Niu Batian said, "Master, if anyone gives you trouble, I'll hold them off."
"You're a pretty capable Registered Disciple," Bi Fan said approvingly.
"Heh heh..." Niu Batian chuckled foolishly. Bi Fan turned away rather than look at him—he was just too ugly. Niu Batian didn't mind in the least. Among the Ox Tribe, he was a handsome devil, with a whole herd of cows throwing themselves at him.
Seeing that Bi Fan had agreed, Hua Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
When the banquet began, Hua Yunfeng personally greeted each guest. Tang Maoshan was very pleased—especially since Bi Fan had requested it. Bi Fan could even feel the icy stare Tang Maoshan was giving him.
Tang Maoshan's strength was decent. No, that remained to be seen.
Bi Fan naturally didn't want Tang Maoshan to become Prefect. If he did, and still held a grudge against Bi Fan, who knew what trouble he might cause?
For now, they were still on the same side, and Bi Fan couldn't do anything to him.
The banquet began.
