<h4>Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132: The Touching Moment Brought by Yuan Huai</h4>
Because there were too many people on site, there was inevitably some chaos, and arguments often broke out among the people from different halls over trivial matters.
They stood clearly apart, with each hall’s members in different ces. If a conflict urred, it wouldn’t be a small matter.
Jin Guozhong, standing in the center, noticed this and shouted, "The reason you’re standing here today is all because the Sect Leader gave special permission. If anyone causes trouble here, I’ll deal with them first and then kick everyone from your hall out."
Jin Guozhong’s words had a good effect, and the crowd quieted down after hearing them.
"Hall Master Jin, you’re really quite impressive," Sky Thief Rat said sarcastically. Although his voice wasn’t loud, more than half the people present heard it.
Everyone knew that there was bad blood between Sky Thief Rat and Jin Guozhong. The Holy Mouse Hall held the greatest power, while Brocade Hall was the Sect Leader’s enforcement team, wielding significant authority.
"Sky Thief Rat, you’d better keep your people in check, or I’ll have them thrown out," Jin Guozhong snorted coldly before walking to his seat and sitting down.
Just as the clock struck three, Hong Jinbao walked in from outside.
Everyone made way, gazing respectfully at the tough old man.
Many of those standing here had never seen Hong Jinbao before. If it weren’t for this special asion, they wouldn’t have known their Sect Leader looked like this.
"Take your seats," Hong Jinbao said, waving his hand as he moved to the front.
Though there were hundreds of people present, not a word was spoken; it was quite silent.
After sitting down, Hong Jinbao nced at Jin Guozhong and asked, "Have they arrived?"
Jin Guozhong shook his head, "Not yet. I called earlier, but couldn’t get through."
Upon hearing this, Hong Jinbao frowned deeply. The news had already spread; if Xiang Yu and the others didn’t show up, how would they handle it?
Moreover, many people hade to see Xiang Yu’s skills. If he didn’t appear, there would surely beints.
"Could he have been scared silly?" Sky Thief Rat snorted from his spot.
Jin Guozhong was quite anxious; if they didn’te, he’d be the first who couldn’t save face. After all, he was the one who spread the news.
The scene was very quiet; everyone was waiting. At this moment, Fang Xiaoming and the other three were already standing in front of the stage.
Seeing so many people around, as well as the crowd upstairs, Fang Xiaoming felt a surge of heroism. In the future, these would be his subordinates. Suddenly, he developed a dislike for Sky Thief Rat.
Sky Thief Rat was his big brother; without him, Fang Xiaoming wouldn’t have what he had today. But his future achievements would surely surpass that of Sky Thief Rat. If he remained under thetter’s control, wouldn’t he be suppressed for life?
Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoming couldn’t help but nce back at Sky Thief Rat. Sky Thief Rat was smiling at him too.
Fang Xiaoming’s heart gave a jolt, but he didn’t show it. He just nodded and smiled without saying a word.
You could say that Sky Thief Rat knew Fang Xiaoming inside out. He knew how many people were in his family and what they all did, everything was crystal clear.
Getting rid of Sky Thief Rat’s influence wasn’t going to be easy.
"In my opinion, this Xiang Yu is nothing but a wimp, can’t stand up at critical moments, haha..." Fang Xiaoming shouted joyfully.
As his voice fell, people around started discussing, further igniting a buzz throughout the venue.
Hong Jinbao cast a displeased nce at Jin Guozhong.
Jin Guozhong quickly stood up and shouted to the crowd, "Quiet down, everyone, listen to the Sect Leader speak."
Given the groundwork he’did earlier, his words carried weight, and most of the people quieted down. Yet, some kept chattering incessantly.
Jin Guozhong saw that it was the people of Holy Mouse Hall.
Sky Thief Rat let out a coldugh and then gestured ostentatiously, indicating for everyone to stop nosing off.
But those people paid no heed to him, continuing their chatter as if they hadn’t seen Sky Thief Rat’s gesture.
Sky Thief Rat’s face turned grim, and he turned his head to yell upwards, "Cut the chatter!"
Seeing their brother giving orders, they finally quieted down.
Once everything quieted down, Hong Jinbao stood up from his seat and shouted, "Since some people arete, we won’t wait for them. Thepetition..."
Before Hong Jinbao could finish speaking, there was a screeching of brakes outside, followed by raucous noises.
"What’s going on?" Jin Guozhong shouted from his ce.
Then someone rushed over and said, "Hall Master, a car ignored our directions and barged in. We’ve caught them now."
"Bring them all up," Brocade Hall said.
His mood was already foul; now someone wasing to stir trouble. If they didn’t give these people a taste of their medicine, they’d think this was a ce for amusement.
Two minutester, people from Brocade Hall escorted four individuals inside.
Jin Guozhong was thrilled when he saw these four; they were Yuan Huai and the three of Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu hobbled in supporting himself with crutches, his legs unsteady.
"We’re here," Yuan Huai said with a smile as he walked in.
"Don’t make a fuss," someone beside him chided Yuan Huai.
These people were neers and naturally didn’t recognize Yuan Huai, but many present were old-timers and became excited seeing Yuan Huai.
"Vice Sect Leader, Young Master," many around couldn’t help calling out.
Back in the day, Yuan Huai’s influence in the Hong n was crucial. Having him as Sect Leader was something everyone hoped for.
But his inexplicable disappearance left everyone disappointed, leaving the candidacy vacant for three years.
The crowd started buzzing, and some even rushed down to get a better view.
Some people even wept; they had followed Yuan Huai in the past, and after he vanished, life was tough.
They were ostracized by other halls; some had left the Hong n, while others joined Brocade Hall.
But it never felt like their own hall, so they still considered themselves outsiders.
At this moment, seeing Yuan Huai again, all their grievances and longing for him erupted all at once.
Many couldn’t help but rush to the center.
"Vice Sect Leader, do you remember us?" Many stood in front of Yuan Huai, their eyes red.
Yuan Huai was deeply moved too, surprised that after three years, their feelings for him remained so strong.
"Brothers, how have you been?" Yuan Huai’s eyes were also red as he saw his oldrades. It was emotional seeing the scenes of the past rey in his mind.
They all lowered their heads, showing that life hadn’t been good.
Seeing them like this, Yuan Huai felt heartbroken too. It was his fault for making them suffer.
"I’m sorry, brothers," Yuan Huai said sorrowfully.
They shook their heads quickly and looked at Yuan Huai, "Vice Sect Leader, don’t say that, you’re back now."
