Chapter 328 Celebrity Effect

Nowadays, on Earth, unless you don't go online and don't have any social interaction, no one will not know Ji Xinghuo.

But such a person almost does not exist in the Asia-Pacific Community.

Especially since Ji Xinghuo ranked first in the ladder half a month ago, his name has been constantly appearing on hot searches, and it is hard not to know him. Just now, he directly scolded a king on the social platform, which shocked many people.

However, in people's eyes, Ji Xinghuo still remains mysterious.

This name is just a sign, a symbol. Everyone doesn't know what he looks like and can't connect it with the real image.

Now he suddenly appeared in front of them, which naturally made people extremely curious.

The whole audience was silent for a few seconds.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the expressions on the faces of the people around him, curious, surprised, awe, exploration, suspicion, etc. They saw that they were just watching a colorful giant panda, and they felt a little helpless, but they didn't care.

When I chose to protect my privacy on the Internet, I had expected this situation.

"Ahem..."

Ji Xinghuo laughed, "Yunhai, don't you introduce me?"

"Okay, okay." Lu Yunhai's face was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his family and elders would react like this.

The two people's voices made the atmosphere return to normal.

The staff around continued to work, but their eyes frequently turned to him, and some people quietly took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Ji Xinghuo just pretended not to see it.

Lu Yunhai walked to a middle-aged couple and said, "Xinghuo, this is my father and mother, I told you."

His parents are nearly sixty years old. Although they are well maintained and look only in their forties, they can be seen that they are not the upper class. They just look young because they don't have to work for a long time.

Lu Yunhai is an only child and used to complain about his parents.

The two met while playing games. After getting married and having children, they also took care of Lu Yunhai as a custodial child. They had fun in the game.

Although they couldn't give their son too much financial support, the family atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. They were both newcomers and friends.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Li."

Ji Xinghuo greeted them with a smile. He remembered their names and had seen them several times in video calls before.

"Xiao Ji, you still remember me." Lu Tao was excited, "I saw before that you are not an ordinary person."

His wife Li Ziyun glared at him, "Don't call me that."

"It's okay, Aunt Li, you are the elders, it's okay to call me Xiao Ji as before." Ji Xinghuo never cared about these things.

Lu Yunhai quickly introduced other people.

Compared with the Lu family, Fang Yinping has more elders and family members. Her parents, grandparents, and her one sister and two brothers are all here. This family is a wealthy family with different classes.

In this era, the better the economic conditions and the higher the social status, the more willing people are to have more children.

It is common for a couple from the upper class to have three or four, or even five or six children.

After a few generations, a large family of nearly a hundred people can be formed.

The Fang family started to make a fortune from her grandfather's generation, so there are only three generations, but the whole family has more than 30 people. In Chang'an, it can only be regarded as a small family that has just escaped from the middle class, and it is still far from the real powerful class.

Their family business mainly invests in venues related to martial arts, sports fitness, and archery, with a total asset of nearly 1 billion.

Ji Xinghuo heard from Lu Yunhai that the Fang family has four extraordinary people.

However, including Fang Yinping, none of them have good talents, and with the family's financial resources, they have only cultivated one high-level extraordinary person, Fang Yinping's uncle.

Now the head of the Fang family is still Fang Yinping's grandfather, called Fang Yanbin.

"Mr. Ji, I have heard of your name for a long time."

Fang Yanbin shook Ji Xinghuo's hand, "Our family has always heard Xiaohai talk about you. Today, I finally meet you in person. I am deeply honored."

He was dressed in a simple but expensive formal suit, with a kind smile on his face, maintaining the demeanor of an elder.

Although he concealed it well, Ji Xinghuo could see at a glance that the other party was actually very nervous inside, more cautious than Lu Yunhai's father, and what he said was obviously considered for a long time.

Ji Xinghuo replied, "I'm sorry to make Mr. Fang laugh."

"Haha, Mr. Ji is indeed a handsome man. So many people around the world are curious about Mr. Ji's appearance. If they see him in person, they will not be disappointed." Fang Yanbin complimented him appropriately.

When Lu Yunhai introduced the other members of the Fang family, he was more humble.

Everyone had a kind smile on their faces, and some people even tried to please him, including Fang Yinping's parents.

Ji Xinghuo always looked casual and had no airs, just like an ordinary young man.

However, others did not see him that way.

This was the first time that Ji Xinghuo had dealt with ordinary people in a public capacity since he became famous, and he deeply discovered that the world had changed.

To be precise, the world had not changed, but he himself had changed.

In fact, he did not like it.

But if others wanted to treat him in this way, Ji Xinghuo had no choice but to treat him with a normal heart and not be affected.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at Lu Yunhai, who was in high spirits at the moment. His fame, strength and status made him stand up straight in front of Fang Yinping's family, and even Fang Yinping herself was proud of it.

"Is this face?"

Ji Xinghuo laughed secretly in his heart and cooperated with Lu Yunhai to put on a show.

It took Lu Yunhai several minutes to introduce all the elders and relatives of the Fang family, and then he started to get down to business.

"Xinghuo, tomorrow's wedding process is like this..."

Lu Yunhai and his wife and a person in charge of the wedding site began to assign tomorrow's tasks. The person in charge was trembling, but when she saw Ji Xinghuo listening carefully, she gradually relaxed and entered the working state.

The people of the Fang family were dispersed by Fang Yanbin, and only he stayed to act as the general commander.

These are all excuses.

The process of the wedding company and the hotel has been set long ago, and it has been done countless times, so there is no need for any dispatch.

But everyone knew it well and did not expose him.

"Ji Xinghuo!"

A familiar and unfamiliar voice came over, startling everyone, and turned around to see a tall and burly figure approaching quickly.

"Wu Qifeng, it turned out to be you kid." Ji Xinghuo laughed, and the other party rushed over in two or three steps and stood in front of Ji Xinghuo. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then raised their hands and bumped fists.

Bang.

With a slight sound, Wu Qifeng's expression suddenly twisted and he cried out in pain: "Fuck!"

"Weren't you very arrogant before?" Ji Xinghuo looked proud, "Now you can't even handle this little bit of power?"

Wu Qifeng was also a classmate in college.

However, compared to Ji Xinghuo's obscurity in college, Wu Qifeng was in the spotlight. When he was just 18 years old, he merged with aliens and became a "graviton man", a celebrity in the school.

There were more than 40 people in the class at that time, but there were only three aliens by graduation.

Wu Qifeng was the most talented in the class. He was already an intermediate alien in his senior year. He entered the star realm as soon as he graduated and didn't have much contact.

Ji Xinghuo had a good relationship with him and was one of the classmates who got along relatively well in the class, but he was a little worse than Lu Yunhai.

Before, Ji Xinghuo heard from Lu Yunhai that after he became an alien, he became familiar with Wu Qifeng again when chatting in the classmate group. After the two met, they went to the star realm together several times and asked Wu Qifeng to be the best man when they got married.

Wu Qifeng is over 1.9 meters tall, with well-developed muscles and a strong body, but now his body is bent like a shrimp.

"Damn, you didn't hit me hard enough!" Wu Qifeng recovered after a few seconds, shaking his hands constantly.

"You are not good enough."

Ji Xinghuo laughed, "My punch is less than 5% of the power, just a little electric current."

"Damn." Wu Qifeng's face changed, and he couldn't help but look at Ji Xinghuo again, and said depressedly: "If I had known you would be so powerful, I should have practiced with you more in college, so that I would have defeated the first person in the ladder."

Ji Xinghuo smiled but said nothing.

In college, the two of them were barely in a competitive relationship, but at that time he was just an ordinary person, of course he could not be Wu Qifeng's opponent.

Now the situation has reversed, the gap between the two sides is so big that Wu Qifeng is not even worthy of being an opponent, let alone competition.

"What level are you now?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

"High-level alien."

"Not bad." Ji Xinghuo nodded, "It's been less than three years since we graduated, and you have evolved again. It seems that you are doing well in the star world. Not only did you not lose your life, but you were promoted to a high-level alien."

Wu Qifeng is the same age as himself. He is a high-level alien at the age of 25, and he is also a relatively rare gravity man.

If you can become a super alien before the age of 30, you will have a chance to impact the ladder in the future.

My alma mater, Fengming Language University, can only be regarded as a second-rate university in China. It has not produced such a genius alien in more than ten years.

"Why do I feel that you are being sarcastic to me?" Wu Qifeng scratched his head, "Yunhai, did you hear it?"

Lu Yunhai nodded: "A little."

"You think too much, I'm just telling the truth." Ji Xinghuo spread his hands.

Wu Qifeng stared at Ji Xinghuo's eyes, "Okay, now you are the most awesome, I believe whatever you say." Then he changed the subject, "Hey, Xinghuo, do you still remember that I am a die-hard fan of Jianxian?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Ji Xinghuo said.

"When can you introduce Jian Xian to me?" Wu Qifeng's face was full of expectation, and he said sincerely: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just a simple fan who has admired my idol for a long time and wants to meet her in person. You know, my dream is coming true?"

Ji Xinghuo knew that he had no other intentions.

When he was in college, Wu Qifeng was indeed a fan of Zhao Manying. He also set up a fan group in school, organized to watch Zhao Manying's games, and discussed and posted after the games. He was the most loyal fan.

At that time, he asked himself to join, but refused.

"I'll introduce you to her tomorrow." Ji Xinghuo didn't mind, "Yunhai also invited Manying to attend the wedding."

"That's great!"

Wu Qifeng was very happy, "I envy you for being the first in the ladder, but I envy you even more for being Xianjian's boyfriend!"

He put his arm around Ji Xinghuo's shoulders, "Who would have thought that you were unwilling to join Jian Xian's fan group before, but ended up dating her quietly. When I first heard about it, I almost thought something was wrong with the world..."

"You're jealous." Ji Xinghuo said unhappily.

"Damn, which man in the world doesn't feel jealous?" Wu Qifeng admitted generously, "If you weren't too strong now and I couldn't beat you, I would want to beat you up to vent my anger."

Ji Xinghuo hooked his finger, "Actually, you can try it. I'll stand still and use only one hand."

Wu Qifeng's eyes lit up and he was eager to try.

Lu Yunhai also encouraged: "Qifeng, Xinghuo has given in so much, you don't even have the courage to try, right?"

The others at the scene watched and didn't interrupt.

"Forget it." Wu Qifeng finally admitted his weakness. "Others don't know how strong the number one in the ladder is, but I know it very well. I'd better not humiliate myself."

Ji Xinghuo praised: "You are worthy of being in the Star Realm. You have good eyesight."

"Damn, your words are too irritating now." Wu Qifeng rolled his eyes, but he could do nothing about it.

"Hahaha..."

Ji Xinghuo laughed out loud.

It's easier to get along with familiar people. Wu Qifeng is an alien, and they were classmates before, so they can speak freely.

Next, the best man and bridesmaids arrived.

The last of the three best man was Lu Yunhai's high school classmate. They grew up together, but they were not in the same school until college. He was admitted to a top university. After graduation, he stayed in Chang'an and joined a financial company. He was excellent in both academics and work.

But he was not an alien, so he had no confidence in front of Ji Xinghuo and spoke carefully.

The three bridesmaids were all very beautiful. One was Fang Yinping's sister, and the other two were her friends and classmates.

Everyone changed into customized formal dresses, assigned tasks, and took photos together.

Ji Xinghuo noticed that the three bridesmaids kept peeking at him.

Not only them, but everyone around him was paying attention to him. He was the focus wherever he went, and his every move would attract attention.

If he didn't speak, others would take it for granted.

If he talked in a friendly manner, people would be flattered and immediately agree.

Sometimes he could make people laugh by just saying a few jokes, even though they were not that funny.

This feeling was good, but it was also boring.

Ji Xinghuo didn't care what others thought or saw. He did what he should do and fulfilled his duties as a best man. In the evening, the Fang family invited him to dinner, and of course invited other best men and bridesmaids, saying that it was to express their gratitude.

Halfway through the dinner, the owner of the hotel came to visit, just to meet Ji Xinghuo, and exempted Lu Yunhai from the venue fee.

The Fang family was very happy.

Ji Xinghuo stayed in the hotel that night, which was considered a face-saving move. The next day at dawn, the wedding began to go through the process.

In the 23rd century, the marriage rate was very low.

However, anyone who wants to get married regards it as the top priority of life. The richer and more powerful the family, the more grand the wedding. The process and ceremony of the retro wedding has reached its peak, integrating the great achievements of all dynasties, and the cumbersomeness is daunting.

After going through the ceremony one by one, from morning to noon, five or six hours made people dizzy.

Ji Xinghuo acted as a tool and followed the process.

He kept a low profile throughout the whole process, but still attracted everyone's attention.

As long as someone heard that he was Ji Xinghuo, he immediately became more attractive than the bride and groom. People either cast their eyes frequently or took advantage of the gaps in the ceremony to come up and chat and ask for photos.

Under the premise of not affecting the wedding, Ji Xinghuo agreed to take photos and did not refuse people.

This is also the reason why Lu Yunhai asked him to be the best man.

To give him face and win more face.

At noon, most of the process of this wedding was completed, and the invited guests arrived one after another and entered the house.

The central lobby was filled with festive atmosphere, with hundreds of banquet tables.

Ji Xinghuo also had some free time, so he sat down with Wu Qifeng to rest. Wu Qifeng complained, "Yunhai's wedding was very lively, but it was too troublesome. If you have to do this for a wedding, who would dare to get married?"

"You don't have to have a retro wedding, you can also have a simple modern wedding." Ji Xinghuo shook his head.

"It's better not to get married," Wu Qifeng replied.

He has a handsome appearance and a tall and straight figure. He had no shortage of girlfriends in college, and he could change one every semester, and sometimes he changed more frequently.

"Do you have a girlfriend now?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

"Yes." Wu Qifeng looked proud, "and more than one, hehe..." He held up three fingers.

Ji Xinghuo was silent for a few seconds and cursed: "Scumbag."

"Dating is a matter of mutual consent." Wu Qifeng was not ashamed at all, "And I didn't hide it. They knew each other's existence, and I didn't treat them badly. They can leave me at any time, and it's not against the law."

"But three is too many." Ji Xinghuo wanted to ask for advice, but didn't know how to start.

"My number is too small." Wu Qifeng whispered, "I heard that someone is dating more than a dozen girlfriends at the same time, and bought a big villa to build a harem, tut tut..."

Ji Xinghuo immediately became interested.

Just as he was about to ask, Wu Qifeng suddenly changed the subject and said enviously: "You must not be interested. No matter how many girlfriends you have, they can't compare to a sword fairy. If I have a girlfriend like a sword fairy, other women won't even look at me. No matter how complicated the wedding ceremony is, I am willing to hold it once a month."

"Ahem..." Ji Xinghuo almost choked.

Wu Qifeng asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Ji Xinghuo regained his expression, not revealing his true colors, and asked, "Who else did Yunhai invite from the class?"

"Everyone who has a good relationship with him was invited." Wu Qifeng replied, "Many classmates saw the news in the group and said they would attend. Some people came back from abroad. I guess most of the class came, including the counselors and teachers."

He smiled, "Attending the wedding is fake, but I really want to see you."

"Let's meet, it's better to have a lively atmosphere. It happens that we haven't seen each other for a long time since graduation." Ji Xinghuo didn't care.

While the two were talking, guests began to arrive.

"Ji Xinghuo!"

"Damn it, he's really here..."

Several students had not yet sat down. When they saw Ji Xinghuo and Wu Qifeng sitting at the table, they were all surprised and came over immediately.

Ji Xinghuo stood up and greeted his classmates. Since he graduated less than three years ago, he naturally would not forget their names.

Just a few simple greetings made everyone feel flattered.

Of course, we are all classmates after all. Although the relationship is close or distant, we are still familiar classmates after four years of getting along. Even if there is a gap in achievements now, we are still closer than others.

The classmates in the class arrived one after another and sat at three or four tables nearby. Most of them brought their friends to watch the fun together.

Everyone chatted and laughed, recalling their days at school, as if they were back to the high-spirited days of college.

Ji Xinghuo didn't talk much.

However, the students' attention was all on him, and no matter what topic they talked about, they would eventually come back to him.

Everyone asked Ji Xinghuo several questions from time to time, and they were all curious about his experience.

Ji Xinghuo would give a simple answer as long as there were no secrets involved.

Although many of his deeds can be found on the Internet, hearing Ji Xinghuo say it himself, it still feels different, triggering bursts of exclamation.

There are more and more guests in the lobby, and most tables are occupied.

Because it was kept secret in advance, the guests only heard that Ji Xinghuo was at the wedding today. Some people stood up frequently to watch and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

"Sword Immortal!"

Suddenly there was a shout of surprise outside the door.

The students all turned to look and saw Zhao Manying coming in from the door. Today she was wearing a light-colored dress that was a little more formal but not eye-catching. Her long hair was simply tied into a high ponytail. She was fresh and beautiful, with a bare face, but she still became The focus of the audience.

Both men and women were stunned when they saw her, and the men couldn't take their eyes away.

Zhao Manying saw Ji Xinghuo at a glance and walked towards him.

Under people's gaze, she came to Ji Xinghuo and took his arm. Ji Xinghuo smiled and said, "Everyone knows Manying, so I don't need to introduce him."

The students burst into good-natured laughter.

"Manying." Ji Xinghuo pointed at Wu Qifeng and said, "He is Wu Qifeng. He is your number one fan in our class. He also organized your fan group. He is now a senior alien and is also Yunhai's best man today."

"Hello, Mr. Wu." Zhao Manying chuckled and reached out his hand.

"H-Hello! Hello..." Wu Qifeng's face turned red with excitement, and he even stuttered a bit when he spoke, "Jianxian, I have been your fan for many years. Whenever I have time, I will go to watch your games live."

"Thanks for your support."

Zhao Manying shook his hand and let go, then sat down.

The lobby was getting more and more lively, filled with guests and friends, but people seemed to be a little absent-minded. They were either looking at Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying, or sending messages on their mobile phones. Suddenly, online messages were flying everywhere.

It's normal for two world-class celebrities to be present.

"Xinghuo, can I take a photo with you?" A man in his thirties suddenly asked.

Ji Xinghuo readily agreed: "Of course, Teacher Liu."

This is a class counselor who has been in college for four years. He is an upright person and treats all classmates equally. He has a good reputation among students and is still working at the school.

The three of them took a group photo together.

Ji Xinghuo stood in the middle. After taking the photo, he said, "Teacher Liu, I will authorize your personal photo."

In photos taken without the person's authorization, even on mobile phones, faces will be processed.

After authorization, personal photos can be retained and displayed normally.

This kind of photo can only be seen by yourself.

You can also hold your phone and show it to others, but you cannot send it to the Internet. It will also be processed to ensure privacy.

"I also want to take a group photo." A classmate said, "Xinghuo, can you also give me permission?"

"No problem." Ji Xinghuo agreed readily.

"And I……"

The students rushed to take photos, and Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying were in the photo together. He complied with the students' requests and gave them authorization.

When the surrounding guests saw this, they were all ready to move.

At this time, a gong sounded, a burst of firecrackers burst from the speakers, the lights flashed in the lobby, and the master of ceremonies came on stage to start the wedding ceremony.
