34: Kong Ye
I have to say, the Tianming Chamber of Commerce really has a grand scale!
Su Feng and Wang Yue stood on the broad back of the Sub-dragon Gryphon, taking in the entire island.
The island's Magic Map marked a clear area: 10,086 square kilometers.
Overall, it was huge!
"As expected of the Tianming Chamber of Commerce, the location they chose is excellent. It's surrounded by the sea, so practically no one will discover this place. They've taken secrecy to the extreme."
Su Feng secretly clicked his tongue; the scenery from the sky was truly unique.
This is amazing!
The feeling of flying is simply wonderful!
Su Feng almost wanted to have a Magic Beast of his own.
However, he hasn't completed his Third Profession Advancement yet, and Flying Magic Beasts are expensive. More importantly, they are priceless and unavailable!
After flying around the island a few times, Su Feng memorized the general map..."Young Master, the Patriarch registered you as a Black Gold Member this time hoping you would learn from these powerful experts. But now... I won't be able to explain myself to the Patriarch when I return!"
A vigorous young man was lying on the beach, while a white-haired old man next to him was earnestly trying to persuade him.
Surrounding the young man were several attractive, outstanding young women constantly giving him a massage.
"Uncle Ma, sometimes you shouldn't overstep your boundaries!"
"You must always remember that you are a Servant of our Kong Family. Even if you are a Private Steward, that remains true!"
Kong Ye looked rather displeased.
Since when did a Household Servant dare to act wildly in front of him?!
"Young Master..."
"Ma Su, I hope you are clear about your position!"
"And with my current strength, isn't it more than enough to compete for the Top Scholar of Shuojiang Province's College Entrance Exam?!"
"I worked hard for over ten years, finally ushering in a turning point in my life, free from my family's control. Do you really want to cause trouble at this critical juncture?"
"I wouldn't dare... I wouldn't dare..."
Ma Su sighed helplessly in his heart.
It seemed the mission the Patriarch gave him this time was likely impossible to complete.
He had originally intended for Kong Ye to meet those powerful experts and see how they achieved fame, but after arriving here, he had only been indulging himself.
This really is... Hmph!
A Phantom Figure flew across the sky, instantly irritating Kong Ye, who had been resting with his eyes closed.
"What a country bumpkin. How many people here ride Magic Beasts?"
"Are people like this also Black Gold Members? I really don't know what the Tianming Chamber of Commerce is thinking!"
The Maids nearby dared not complain. Their mission here was to serve every guest who came to the island, and they absolutely could not show any interest in their words or privacy... Ma Su sighed. Aurora Island was nothing like the Kong Family!
After all, the people here were either rich or noble, and they certainly held achievements within the Dragon Country.
"Young Master... the Banquet is about to start. Why don't we head over early?"
Ma Su asked tentatively.
"Fine. That person ruined the mood anyway. I hope the Banquet doesn't disappoint me!"
...After Su Feng enjoyed his trip, he returned the Sub-dragon Gryphon.
He hadn't expected that even a Fifth Profession Advancement Sub-dragon Gryphon would be so obedient.
That Sub-dragon Gryphon could have Spoken Human Language long ago, yet it was willingly serving here.
I have to say, the methods of the Tianming Chamber of Commerce are truly profound.
"Senior, I heard that the Tianming Chamber of Commerce changes the location of the Black Gold Member gathering every year. I wonder if that rumor is true?"
Wang Yue asked softly.
The main thing is that everything here is so luxurious. If they change locations and build it all up every year, wouldn't that consume a lot of resources?!
After hearing this, Su Feng thought inwardly, "There's such a thing?"
"As expected of Tianming, one of the Ten Strongest Guilds in the Dragon Country. It seems there are many things I still don't know."
Su Feng merely nodded faintly and did not reply.
After all, this was his first time here!
"The Banquet is about to start soon, let's go take a look..."
The Magic Map not only marked the specific information for each location but also listed all the programs and activities, appearing extremely detailed.
The Banquet was set up next to a Sea of Flowers, and a faint, elegant fragrance lingered in the air.
Most Black Gold Members would attend this kind of Banquet. Firstly, they could meet new friends, and secondly, they could trade for necessary items.
Most importantly, this kind of liquor is also rare and quite valuable!
After Su Feng entered, he noticed that there were people of all ages and genders, and a layer of mysterious Magic Power circulated around them.
"It seems they must be using Masks for Disguise."
Su Feng walked to the side and sat down. Soon, a Staff Member placed the mellow wine on the adjacent table.
Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Su Feng frowned slightly and said, "Tsk... it's not as good as thousand vine flower nectar!"
"Oh!"
"Judging by your words, does that mean you've also encountered thousand vine flower nectar, Your Excellency?"
Kong Ye was initially bored. Weren't these people supposed to be powerful experts?!
Why were they still tasting drinks endlessly at the Banquet like ordinary people, constantly grouping up to exchange pleasantries? It completely overturned his perception of masters!
However, some people really like to brag!
How could this kind of Fine Wine, thousand vine flower nectar, be tasted by such an unassuming young man?!
The thousand vine flower nectar wasn't necessarily precious, but its value lay in its scarcity and lack of purchasing channels, which is why people constantly drove up its price.
Su Feng looked calm: "I was fortunate enough to taste it."
A hint of mockery appeared on Kong Ye's face: "Your Excellency, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue by bragging?"
"That thousand vine flower nectar was treasured by an insignificant small family in a remote minor city. Did Your Excellency make a special trip there?"
Su Feng said nothing and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
There was no need to explain such things further.
"Everyone, this is the latest batch of wine I've brewed. Please sample it and feel free to offer some suggestions."
In front, a middle-aged man dressed in a sharp black suit called out to the people around him. Several wine jars were placed within a small Magic Formation in front of him.
It certainly looked convincing.
"It is said that ten years ago, there was a middle-aged man who called himself the 'Wine Brewing Imp' who showed off at a Banquet, claiming the wine he brewed was the best in the world. But he was severely embarrassed, and since then, he vanished without a trace."
"Do you think... this might be the same person right now?"
Kong Ye said to Su Feng.
"Were you here ten years ago?"
"No, I wasn't, but my father happened to be at that Banquet, and he told me these stories later!"
"Since Your Excellency claims to have tasted thousand vine flower nectar, why don't you go up and try it?"
Su Feng patted his lapel. Trying it wouldn't hurt.
It's just that the guy next to him sounded a bit sarcastic!
"Young Master, careless talk leads to trouble!"
Ma Su reminded him cautiously, but Kong Ye ignored him completely.
"Uncle Ma, you worry too much!"
