Chapter 204 Nonsense
At this moment, in front of the Central Plains War Zone, Cao Xuan and others felt like they had been struck by a thunderbolt, their bodies instantly petrifying on the spot.
The three Su Family members, led by Old Madam Su, had a vacant look in their eyes. They had originally thought that as long as Cao Xuan arrived, they would be granted unobstructed entry into the Warzone. Little did they expect that Cao Xuan's arrival not only failed to secure their entrance but even he was barred at the gate.
Cao Xuan in particular stood there, stunned, like a wooden chicken.
He thought, even if you don't respect me enough to let the Su Family in, is there really a need to keep me out as well?
"Oh dear! Aren't you going to go in? Why don't you go inside?"
Just as Old Madam Su, Cao Xuan, and the others were utterly baffled, Ye Fan's discordant voice suddenly echoed through the space.
"Ye Fan, stop reveling in our misfortune. This is all a misunderstanding! I'll contact my father right now. As soon as my father gets here, we'll go in with just a call from him!" Cao Xuan snapped out of his daze and looked defiantly at Ye Fan.
Su Yue chimed in, "Ye Fan, don't be smug! We'll definitely get in today."
"That's right, Ye Fan. Stop your snide remarks, you'll be the fool when we get inside later!" Su Tianhao said fiercely.
Old Madam Su didn't speak; she stared at Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue, her face as cold as frost. If looks could kill, Ye Fan would likely have been reduced to ashes by now.
Ye Fan scoffed, "You guys think you can get in? I don't mean to belittle you, but if you manage to get in today, I, Ye Fan, will take your surname!"
Watching the faces of Cao Xuan, Old Madam Su, and the others turning unsightly, Ye Fan couldn't describe how delighted he felt!
At this time, not only was Ye Fan feeling incredibly smug internally, even Su Ruoxue was feeling quite elated.
Thinking back to how Old Madam Su had treated her with such arrogance and rudeness a few days ago, and now seeing Old Madam Su's expression as if she had swallowed a dead fly, Su Ruoxue couldn't deny the joy in her heart.
"Ye Fan, don't be so pleased with yourself!" Cao Xuan said with a very gloomy expression.
Saying this, Cao Xuan took out his phone and dialed his father, Cao Bin, immediately.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"The Marshal's appointment ceremony is about to start, where has that little bastard Cao Xuan run off to?"
In the audience seats of the Central Plains War Zone, Cao Family Head Cao Bin frowned upon noticing that Cao Xuan hadn't returned for so long.
While he was puzzled, Cao Xuan's call came in. Before Cao Bin could answer the phone, two warriors wielding steel guns approached him.
"Are you the Cao Family Head, Cao Bin?" one of the warriors asked.
Cao Bin couldn't pick up Cao Xuan's call. He stood up and said, "Yes, I am Cao Bin, the Cao Family Head!"
"How many people did your Cao Family send for the Marshal's appointment ceremony?" the warrior continued.
Cao Bin, utterly confused, answered, "Just my son Cao Xuan and me. Why? What's the matter?"
"Just the two of you? Good! Throw him out!"
Once it was confirmed that the Cao Family had only sent two representatives, the two warriors moved forward to grab Cao Bin's shoulders, ready to toss him out of the Marshal's appointment event.
As they grabbed his shoulders, Cao Bin's expression changed drastically as he said, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Let go of me! Wasn't it said that one invitation could bring three representatives? This time the Cao Family only brought two, leaving one spot vacant; you can't just throw me out!"
Lest we forget, many representatives of the Noble Clans and Powerful Families were present, all eyes fixed on him. If he were thrown out mercilessly now, there's no doubt that from this day forward, the Cao Family would become the laughingstock of Central Plains City.
"It has nothing to do with the invitation; you are the one being thrown out!"
The two warriors showed no mercy as they held onto Cao Bin and attempted to throw him out in front of everyone.
Witnessing this scene, numerous members of the great clans present were all baffled. They simply couldn't understand what Cao Bin had done to be ejected like this.
"What… What's going on here? Why is Cao Family Head going to be thrown out? Could it be that he doesn't have an invitation? That's impossible! The Cao Family is a powerhouse in Central Plains, surely the War Zone sent them an invite!"
"Who knows? Maybe the Cao Family offended someone!"
"Exactly, very possible. Cao Bin and his son are known for their arrogance; they must have upset some important figure!"
Suddenly, all around there were hushed conversations. The representatives of the major families were all extremely astute and could guess that the Cao Family was in trouble.
"Huh! Why can't I get through to my father's phone?"
Outside the War Zone, Cao Xuan was surprised to hear the message, "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later," coming from the other end of the phone.
"The call didn't go through?" Su Tianhao felt a foreboding sense rising within him.
Cao Xuan feigned calm and said, "Don't worry! I'll call my father again, this time I'm sure it will go through."
"Yes, Cao Xuan, hurry up and call Uncle!" urged Su Yue.
Ring ring ring!
This time, just as Cao Xuan was dialing his father Cao Bin's number, a cell phone ringtone could be heard not far away.
Hearing this ringtone, Cao Xuan became as excited as if he had been injected with adrenaline, "That's my father's ringtone, he must be nearby, he's coming to pick us up!"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Su Tianhao seemed to realize something, and pointing ahead, he exclaimed in shock, "Young Master Cao, look quickly!"
"What is it?" asked Cao Xuan, looking puzzled.
Following the direction Su Tianhao was pointing, he looked ahead and was startled to see his father Cao Bin being carried out by two soldiers.
"Get out of here!"
Under the gaze of Cao Xuan and the others, Cao Bin, looking disheveled, was kicked out from the Warzone.
"Is there some kind of misunderstanding, gentlemen?"
After being ejected from the Warzone, Cao Bin was completely baffled, as he couldn't recollect offending anyone recently!
Seeing his father being thrown out, Cao Xuan hurried forward and asked, "Dad, why were you thrown out too?"
"What do you mean 'too'?"
Hearing Cao Xuan's words, Cao Bin asked sternly, "Tell me, you scoundrel, did you offend some big shot in the Warzone?"
"I...I didn't, Dad, you have to believe me, even if I'm stupid, I wouldn't possibly offend a big shot in the Warzone!" Cao Xuan quickly explained.
Cao Bin noticed the three members of the Su Family and furrowed his brow, "That shouldn't be! By the way, why did you rush off from the Marshal's ceremony just now?"
"I left to fetch the three members of the Su Family to bring them in!" Cao Xuan answered truthfully.
Cao Bin asked in surprise, "Fetch the Su Family members to bring them in? Why would you do that?"
"Dad, are you feigning ignorance?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Xuan said irritably, "Dad, have you forgotten? A while ago, you got Deputy Chief Zhou to secure an invitation for the Su Family. Unexpectedly, when the Marshal ceremony began today, the Warzone's security wouldn't let the three Su Family members enter. If they're not allowed to enter, aren't they slapping the face of our Cao Family?"
"I was so angry that I ran out, and I didn't expect that not only did I fail to get the Su Family members inside, but I was also barred from entry!"
"Yes, yes!" Su Yue nodded repeatedly at the side.
Su Tianhao looked at Grandma Su, who took a deep breath and stepped forward to say, "The Cao Family Head went to the trouble of obtaining an invitation to the Marshal's ceremony for our Su Family, and I have not thanked you in person. Now that I see the Cao Family Head, I must express my immense gratitude! However, Cao Family Head, why couldn't we enter with an invitation?"
"Not only that, but why were the Cao Family members also ejected?"
"Exactly, what is going on here?" Su Tianhao also asked.
For a moment, all three members of the Su Family focused their attention on Cao Bin, wanting to clear up their confusion.
"An invitation?"
Hearing this, Cao Bin seemed to understand something; his face turned red with anger as he shouted, "When did my Cao Family ever get you an invitation from the Su Family? Absolute nonsense!"
"What? Absolute nonsense?"
Hearing Cao Bin's shout, all three members of Grandma Su were dumbfounded.
Was the invitation for the Su Family not arranged by Cao Bin?
Shock overcame the three as they instinctively looked towards Ye Fan, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and saw him watching them with a teasing expression.
In an instant, a bold idea popped into their minds; could it be that the invitation wasn't secured by the Cao Family but by Ye Fan instead?
How...how could that be possible?
