While most people were considering, Gao Ming immediately shouted,""Let us welcome the main character of this year's banquet, His Excellency Zhao Zheng.”
"Pa…Pa…Pa…"
Everyone present applauded to welcome him. Gao Ming also addressed Zhao Zheng as 'Your Excellency' instead of 'Student Zhao Zheng'. On one hand, it was because Zhao Zheng had already finished his college entrance examination, and on the other hand, it was naturally because Zhao Zheng had already advanced to the ranks. For prodigies of the Heaven's Favorite Rank, they usually addressed him as' Your Excellency 'to show respect. Naturally, a peerless genius like Zhao Zheng had to address him as such.
While everyone was clapping, Gao Ming also led all the ranks and talents standing behind him and walked towards Zhao Zheng. When he walked in front of Zhao Zheng, Gao Ming smiled and greeted him,"Mr. Zhao Zheng, welcome to the talent banquet.”
"Yes." Zhao Zheng nodded at Gao Ming, his gaze sizing up Gao Ming from behind.
Gao Ming immediately understood and pointed to his side with a smile,""Mr. Zhao Zheng, let me introduce you. First of all, the three bronze rank 4 people standing beside me are the chief of the neighboring city. They appeared at the talent banquet in Haisheng City because they heard of your name, Mr. Zhao Zheng, so they joined us for this talent banquet.”
"Oh." Zhao Zheng nodded.
"Greetings, Sir Zhao Zheng." The three bronze rank 4 cultivators beside Gao Ming immediately greeted Zhao Zheng with a smile. Their expressions also carried a trace of respect. Although Zhao Zheng was a bronze rank 5 cultivator and they were bronze rank 4 cultivators, under normal circumstances, it would definitely be the lower ranks who greeted them respectfully. However, was Zhao Zheng an ordinary person? He had already soloed a bronze-level 4.
Moreover, that bronze-level 4-dan had been studying in a ranked university. He was stronger than them. However, even so, he was one-sidedly slaughtered by Zhao Zheng in solo mode. How could they not respect a peerless prodigy like Zhao Zheng? His attitude was definitely more respectful than Gao Ming's.
"Yes." Zhao Zheng nodded at the three Bronze Rank 4 experts.
Gao Ming then pointed at the ten people beside him and continued,""They are all the rankers in Haisheng City and the neighboring cities. They are all bronze-level rank-5 rankers.”
"Greetings, Sir Zhao Zheng." Without needing Gao Ming to say anything, these ten people greeted Zhao Zheng respectfully. After everyone greeted him, a man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies suddenly said respectfully to Zhao Zheng,"Sir Zhao Zheng, please accept my apology.”
"Oh? What do you mean?" Zhao Zheng looked at the person in front of him and asked indifferently.
"Your Excellency Zhao Zheng, my name is Luo Cheng, and I am Luo Hao's uncle. Three days ago, my reckless nephew dared to offend you, and he deserved to die. Please don't hate me and my family because of him.”Luo Cheng said respectfully to Zhao Zheng.
"You are Luo Hao's uncle? Heh, a 5-dan bronze-rank, and one that has been stuck at 5-dan for more than 100 years. Your nephew is very powerful. He brags about you as if you're a silver overlord or a great gold overlord. It's as if he's lawless with you protecting him. However, when he brazenly mentioned your name in front of me, I didn't take it seriously. To be honest, I really didn't take a talented person like you to heart.”
"Your talent is too bad. If it weren't for this talent banquet, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be qualified to see me in the future. I didn't intend to investigate further, but since you've walked out yourself, then tell me, how should I settle this score? Although it was your nephew's impudence that angered me, would he dare to be so impudent without you backing him up?”Zhao Zheng looked at Luo Chengluo and said coldly.
"Sir Zhao Zheng, please speak frankly. As long as you don't pursue the matter, I'll agree to any condition.”Luo Cheng looked at Zhao Zheng and said solemnly. He did not have any thoughts about Zhao Zheng saying that his talent was poor because Zhao Zheng was telling the truth. Moreover, in front of a peerless genius like Zhao Zheng, who would dare to say that they were not trash?
Moreover, he had already prepared for the worst. As long as Zhao Zheng did not pursue the matter, he was willing to do anything. Otherwise, if Zhao Zheng's rank was high in the future and he suddenly thought of such a matter, he was afraid that countless people would come and destroy him and his family with a flick of his finger.
Gao Ming and the others quietly watched Zhao Zheng and Luo Cheng's conversation from the side. However, as long as Zhao Zheng showed a trace of unhappiness or was unhappy with Luo Cheng, they would definitely be happy to help.
"Do you think that with your conditions, there is anything worthy of my attention?”Zhao Zheng looked at Luo Cheng and asked.
"Yes, Sir Zhao Zheng." Luo Cheng muttered to himself for a while before raising his head to look at Zhao Zheng.
"What is it?" Zhao Zheng also revealed a trace of curiosity. Could it be that a mere Bronze Rank-5 had some treasures?
"Sir Zhao Zheng, you should be familiar with her, right?”Luo Cheng suddenly pointed at Zhao Liying, who was standing behind Gao Ming.
" No stranger, my classmate." Zhao Zheng nodded.
"Mr. Zhao Zheng, she's my niece. Up until now, she hasn't been in a relationship with anyone because her standards are too high. The talent banquet is originally an investment. I'm willing to invest in her for you. I hope you won't pursue it.”Luo Cheng said to Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Liying's beautiful eyes narrowed as she was about to speak. It was not that she did not have feelings for Zhao Zheng, but it was because being invested and chasing after Zhao Zheng were two different things. An investment was like a commodity that could be thrown away if one did not want it. It was fine if she was not a talent, but he was a talent. What right did Luo Cheng have to decide her matters? Even if she wanted to pursue Zhao Zheng, that was her business. No one had the right to make the decision for her.
However, before Zhao Liying could say anything, Zhao Zheng shouted at Luo Cheng,"How dare you! Zhao Liying is a talent, what right do you have to make decisions for her?”
"As her cousin, I am naturally qualified to make the decision for her. Her family has also agreed to it. Although she is a talent, she is also a member of the family. If the family members are all ordinary people, they naturally have no right to make the decision. However, I am indeed a ranker. As long as she is from the Zhao family, I have the right to make the decision. Mr. Zhao Zheng, there are not many people in Haisheng City, or even on the entire planet, who are more beautiful than her.”Luo Cheng said to Zhao Zheng.
"I remember that you said three days ago that you wanted to leave the family with your parents. Still not separated? Now that your family is about to forcefully invest in me, do you still want to stay in this kind of family?”Zhao Zheng shook his head and asked Zhao Liying.
