That was the truth. Zhang Shifei had really been dealt with by Gao Liqun before.
Moreover, he had dealt with him quite well.
If not for that, it would be strange if he could be so honest.
Zhang Shifei stood beside Gao Liqun like a slave, bowing and fawning.
He had seen everyone’s contemptuous attitude toward him, but he still did not show any other expression.
Gao Liqun didn’t mind. He just turned his head to look at him, then turned his gaze to the people around him.
“Everyone, since we have all agreed to come, we must work together and not fight each other.”
“If there’s any grudge between the four of us, please settle it after this matter is over,” he said with a serious expression.
As he spoke, his gaze could not help but look at the two groups of people in the pavilion on the west mountain.
Seeing him look over, the two groups of people immediately fell silent out of fear.
Whether it was the three strange people or the five brothers in white robes with long swords on their backs, their faces were filled with respect and fear.
Gao Liqun had a great reputation and vicious methods. More importantly, his connections were too wide. Ordinary people could not provoke him at all.
Even in the martial world, his reputation was well-known.
Now that he had personally come to preside over this matter, everyone had a backbone in their hearts.
On the other hand, everyone was thinking that since he was here, then the person who issued the challenge, Xu Wenping, was naturally a very impressive person.
They really might not be able to deal with such a person.
Since they couldn’t deal with him, it was naturally a good thing to let someone more powerful take the blame.
Everyone’s expressions relaxed, and their gazes began to patrol the surroundings.
“Haha! Actually, the main character should have arrived long ago. He has been watching us and having a laugh.”
At this moment, Gao Liqun’s voice was very loud, and everyone present could hear it very clearly.
At the same time, he slowly walked toward the west. As he walked, he smiled. “This young friend, I believe you must be Xu Wenping?”
The direction he was heading toward was the west. There was only one person standing there, looking at the setting sun.
He seemed a little lonely, and his eyes were far-reaching.
When people came up, they didn’t pay much attention to him. They only thought that he was standing there watching the sunset and was a little lonely. Therefore, people chose to ignore his existence.
But now, Gao Liqun walked over and said that he was Xu Wenping. Everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes and look at that person’s back in disbelief.
The figure did not move at first, but as Gao Liqun approached, his body slowly moved and then turned around.
Behind him was the setting sun, accompanied by a little bit of the afterglow of the setting sun, making his current figure look very well-proportioned.
When he turned around, his body seemed to be plated with a layer of gold by the setting sun.
His face was a little angular. In the eyes of others, he was not particularly handsome, but he could not be said to be ugly.
Someone once said that he had a common face.
However, he never thought so. He had always been a little narcissistic and always said that he was very handsome.
He was naturally Xu Wenping.
From the start of the climb to the arrival of the people, to the dispute in the pavilion, until now, Xu Wenping had been standing there quietly, looking at the sunset in the distance.
He watched the setting sun and admired its beauty.
He turned around and looked at Gao Liqun, who had revealed his identity. He smiled and said, “Who are you? I don’t think we’ve met before.”
Looking at his indifferent smile and calm eyes, the eyes of the experienced Gao Liqun could not help but shrink slightly.
He already knew Xu Wenping’s age and appearance. He had even read all the information about him.
According to his thoughts, a person at this age should not be so calm and collected.
However…
From Xu Wenping’s body, he saw a young skin that was experienced to the bones, wrapped in a sophisticated soul.
No wonder such a person was so difficult to deal with.
The key was that this was not the most important thing.
What shocked him the most was Xu Wenping’s aura.
From the moment he met Xu Wenping face to face, he felt a powerful and oppressive aura.
It was an aura that was even higher than that of a Grandmaster. It was an aura that surpassed all the martial artists he had seen.
It was even more powerful than the elders of his family and even the ancestors.
Frowning slightly, Gao Liqun looked at Xu Wenping and said word by word, “I am Gao Liqun. I am a martial artist. 1 am also the leader of this generation of the Gaos.”
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xu Wenping.
He wanted to see some clues from the other party’s eyes and micro-expressions.
This young man was not simple. He had an extraordinary temperament.
He really wanted to know if this kid with the surname Xu was related to the rumored Xu family in the martial arts world.
The martial arts aristocratic family, the Xu family, was also the Fengyun family. Many years ago, they had produced many outstanding martial artists.
Although the Xu family was somewhat desolate now, even so, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. There were still quite a number of experts in the family.
However…
To his disappointment, Xu Wenping did not show any signs of emotion.
Xu Wenping nodded and said indifferently, “Oh, I see. Your name was also included in my invitation.”
His indifferent words directly made Gao Liqun a little confused.
After all, he wanted to see if Xu Wenping was a descendant of a large family from his performance.
If he was related to an aristocratic family and was a member of a martial arts aristocratic family, he would definitely be moved when he heard his name.
However…
Xu Wenping’s calm performance just now made him unable to figure out his thoughts at all.
“Haha! Yes, I saw your invitation.”
Gao Liqun also said a sentence of nonsense. Then, he frowned and couldn’t help but ask, “May I know why Mr. Xu invited us here?”
“I don’t dare to do so. I just feel that there are some things that I need to discuss with you.”
Xu Wenping smiled mischievously. His gaze swept across everyone. He smiled again. “I can see that everyone behind you should follow your lead.”
He said it casually, but it also meant that he had already understood everything.
Gao Liqun had a headache. This kid’s words were flawless, giving him a headache.
However, what the other party said was not wrong, so he could only force a smile and say, “Everyone’s favor made me the temporary leader.”
“Mr. Xu, what do you plan to do this time?” he asked, looking around.
Since he couldn’t beat around the bush, he might as well tear off his loincloth.
Gao Liqun stared at Xu Wenping, waiting for his next move..
