Chapter 920: Gentleman bows his head
Lian Feihong came to visit.

Less than ten days after the incident, this former "ally" came to visit politely, without even bringing a few personal guards.

His actions were full of goodwill. As soon as he opened his mouth, he made it clear that he had nothing to do with the Eight Gentlemen and that he had just come to visit.

Don't hit a smiling person, and what's more, when breaking up with the Eight Gentlemen, the other party did not do anything to add insult to injury, and both sides maintained a tacit understanding.

"This jade plate with a coiled dragon and a crouching tortoise is full of ancient charm and fits your name."

"I came across this yesterday and thought of sending it to you. Brother Daqian, please don't despise it and accept it!"

Lian Feihong held a jade plate in his hand, which was as big as a washbasin. The entire plate was made of top-quality jade without a single speck of cotton wool or crack. It was a top-quality jade that could not be found even if ten jade mountains were dug out or a hundred mines were leveled.

If it falls into the hands of a small or medium-sized family, this jade plate would be qualified as a family heirloom.

"Pan'er, thank you uncle!"

Zhou Pan held the jade plate with difficulty, clamped it between his knees, and walked away with his arms around it, grunting and twisting his hips.

After Zhou Pan left, the pleasantries came to an end and the conversation officially began.

"Brother Daqian, I'm here to tell you something."

"The imperial concubine in the palace has spoken. She told the eight gentlemen to be more open-minded and gave them eight words... A gentleman breaks off a friendship without speaking ill of others."

"From now on, the Eight Gentlemen will no longer be openly troubled or suppressed."

This news is really surprising.

Zhou You was a little flattered that Concubine Mei actually protected him and forced the Eight Gentlemen to give up the pursuit.

Even though the Eight Gentlemen are now seriously injured, they must be harboring resentment in their hearts. Although the grand scene is gone, various means are certainly indispensable.

Once Concubine Mei spoke, he definitely couldn't take any more action.

"Brother Daqian, you are amazing. Many people have worked in the palace for their entire lives and have never been favored by a noble."

"Not only have you been promoted to the Thousand School, but you have also won the favor of Concubine Mei. After you left your post, she even gave you protection. How enviable!"

Zhou You said softly, "Perhaps justice is in the heart of the people, and Concubine Mei was just saying something fair!"

Lian Feihong was choked. You got the advantage but you are still acting like a good boy. You are strong and you are right!
He stood up again and bowed, "On behalf of the Lian family, I am here to congratulate Grandmaster Zhou on his promotion to Earth Sect. May the Zhou family's Western Sect prosper!"

"I accept your good words!"

"This is the gift list."

"Well, thank you!"

Zhou Nanwang's promotion to Dizong had a great impact on the aristocratic family system in Dijing.

First of all, the strength comparison between the East Sect and the West Sect has further changed. Zhou Nanwangxin has been newly promoted to the Earth Sect, and he has a bright future. He has led to a significant increase in the overall strength of the West Sect.

Then, because Zhou Daqian broke with the Eight Gentlemen, he was treated coldly by a number of friendly families, which loosened the relationship. Many people sent people to give gifts to repair the relationship.

Throughout the whole process, Zhou You was polite, with a slight sense of alienation.

Things are not what they used to be!
Lian Feihong sighed inwardly. The other party was hit by the Zhenbei Gequan fist, but instead of being devastated, he established a relationship with the Tiannan Divine Sword, became its disciple, and learned the supreme and exquisite swordsmanship.

That day, he first killed Tianfeng of Guhong Camp and cut off one arm of the Eight Gentlemen.

This was extremely heartbreaking for the Eight Gentlemen. If the Grandmaster's Seal had not been taken away later, it would have been the biggest loss for sure.

To this day, the Eight Gentlemen still remember this. Ying Tianfeng's body has been transported back, but his belongings, including the magic weapon Shen Tianshu, are still in Zhou You's hands.

Zhou You possessed the mark of a grandmaster, and he used his unique skill of spear and sword combined to actually injure Ren Zong with his strong body, showing his ability to kill enemies above his level.

Today, the outside world's evaluation of him is that he will become a master in the future.

What made the Eight Gentlemen even more jealous was that Zhou You actually hid the Grandmaster's Mark and only after his Grandmaster's Mark was taken away by the Heart Demon Ring did they realize that the other party had concealed his talent from them.

That would not have been enough. Even the Lord's favorite concubine, Mei Fei, stood up for him and ordered the Eight Gentlemen not to retaliate.

Taking all the conditions into consideration, no matter how reluctant the Eight Gentlemen were, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Lian Feihong verbally claimed that he came to visit for private reasons, but in fact, it was implicitly representing the release of the Eight Gentlemen. How about we all stop?
Zhou You also understood this clearly, so his attitude towards him was the same as his attitude towards the Eight Gentlemen camp.

Cold and distant, revealing a businesslike attitude!
"Brother Daqian, he is the son of a feudal lord after all. I will not fight with you. You..."

Lian Feihong had just finished speaking when Zhou You calmly interrupted her, "The Eighth Gentleman is a man of tenacity. He must have a way to break and then rebuild. Let me guess..."

"He asked you to come over to calm me down, but he was actually planning something in secret..."

"Don't rush to deny it. Listen to me. Concubine Mei has spoken. The Eight Gentlemen will definitely give her face. After all, Concubine Mei represents the will of the Lord. As a gentleman, isn't he also a subject in front of the Lord?"

"The Eight Gentlemen are in a hurry. They are busy with their own affairs. They must be doing their best to make up for the damage caused by the loss of the Grandmaster's Mark. Well, why did he ask for the demon bone in the first place?"

Lian Feihong turned pale after just a few quick words. Everything he knew, including what he didn't know, was guessed almost exactly by the other party.

At this moment Lian Feihong truly realized how powerful Zhou You was. This man was simply not on the same level as him.

It is rare that Zhou You, after experiencing a series of major events, was able to trace back to the original cause of the matter and deduce the plan of the Eight Gentlemen.

"You don't speak, is it because you can't say it, or you don't know, and you want to say it but can't?"

Lian Feihong smiled bitterly and bowed, "Brother Daqian, you should also know my position in the Eight Gentlemen camp, yes!" I understand!

Zhou You spread his hands, "As you know, my family is in trouble right now, and the Eight Gentlemen are willing to reconcile, which is more than I wish for."

"As long as the Eight Gentlemen don't attack me, we won't interfere with their actions. It would be great if everyone can live in peace!"

Isn’t the purpose of Lian Feihong’s trip just to fulfill this promise?
He was so happy that he stood up and saluted, "Brother Daqian, thank you very much, I didn't make this trip in vain."

Zhou You grabbed his hands and said, "Thank the Eight Gentlemen for me."

Thanks to him for giving him the Grandmaster Seal, with this, he is the top brother on the Zhouyou list and his position is unshakable.

ha?
Lian Feihong didn't understand. What was he thanking for? Was there any need to be so polite?
It turned out that Zhou You's inference was completely consistent with the development of reality.

After a period of time, the half-blood wizards under the command of the Eight Gentlemen went to the southeast to kill monsters and take their bones. They successfully catalyzed the Gu Emperor to break out of his shell and be reborn, and obtained the planned talent of "food decline".

The price was not small. The death rate of the mixed-race wizards gathered by Wu Luoye and Lu Xiangxing was as high as 60%, resulting in heavy losses.

The eight gentlemen offered a method to cure the decline of food, and were rewarded with the title of Lord, and were allowed to take a "Xuan Zong Dan" from the storehouse.

Xuan Zong Dan is a grade ninety-nine medicine, specially used for ninth-level martial arts masters to break through to the Grandmaster level.

This pill compensated for the loss of the Grandmaster's mark, and also announced that the Eight Gentlemen were not eliminated in the competition for successors.

The originally shaky position was stabilized after this move.
