Yuan Tengjian in front also saw him, but he didn't react.

Yuan Zhiya, who was beside Yuan Tengjian, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in anger.

Yuan Zhiya was already very dissatisfied when they were waiting outside the door just now.

She should have been in a high position. If she was placed in the ancient Dragon Kingdom, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her status was almost the same as that of a princess.

So she had never encountered a time when she needed to wait for someone at the door.

Now after coming in, she looked at Ishihara Riki, who was usually treated as a servant by her, standing in a high position and looking down at her, and she was even more angry.

You know, it should be her brother Yuan Zhiming who was standing in that position.

But now, he was replaced by a servant of humble origin. How could she not be angry?

As if he noticed her gaze, Ishihara Riki lowered his eyes and smiled at her gently.

But in Yuan Zhiya's view, this smile was a naked provocation.

There was a hint of viciousness in her eyes.

At this time, the elegant old man spoke: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ryuta Yoshikawa. I come from the Imperial Court Research Institute and I am the director of this institute. You can just call me Director Yoshikawa."

"Welcome all the family heads and the outstanding talents you have brought. Seeing that you can make such great sacrifices and concessions for the martial arts of Yangguo, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor."

"Don't worry, our institute will train the talents selected today on behalf of the Imperial Court and give them the best resources."

"I hope that in the future, our Yangguo martial arts will get better and better with your cooperation."

No one listened to these high-sounding words. The head of the Uesugi family snorted coldly and said, "We don't know whether it will get better or not. It's useless to say these now. Aren't we going to select people? Let's get started."

The other family heads also agreed. Everyone was angry and had been waiting outside for so long. Now no one was in the mood to play a trick with them.

Hearing this, Hotada Yoto's eyes darkened: "Master Uesugi, you may not know the identity of Director Yoshikawa. He is not only the director of this institute, but also a member of the Yang Kingdom's royal court, and is of royal origin. With your identity, I'm afraid you are not qualified to order him to do anything!"

After Hotada finished speaking, there were suddenly more than a dozen people in black robes and masks around the Uesugi family.

However, the head of the Uesugi family was also very calm. He laughed when he heard the words: "Why, Director Hotada is going to attack me here?"

The Uesugi family is also a large family that has been passed down for a hundred years, and its influence in Yang Kingdom is not small.

Yang Kingdom itself is also a country with many factions, and the Uesugi family is a member of one of the factions.

If the head of the Uesugi family died here, Hotada could not afford this responsibility.

Fortunately, at this time, Yoshikawa Ryuta came out to smooth things over. If you ignore his identity, he looks like an old gentleman who is in a high position but still approachable: "Hey, Master Uesugi is right. We are gathered here today to select talents."

"It's a good thing, why do we have to use force?"

After saying that, he smiled at Master Uesugi and raised his glass from a distance: "I apologize to Master Uesugi on behalf of Director Watada. By the way, please come up, let's drink a glass together and appreciate the performance of the younger generation, how about it?"

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, not to mention that they are now in a situation where they are all under the roof.

The masters looked at each other, and Master Uesugi's face was ashen, and he didn't respond for a long time.

However, Yuan Tengjian was the calmest among them, and nodded calmly: "That's just what I want."

After that, he turned around and said to the ten young warriors including Qin Feng and Xuanyuan Feng: "You just wait downstairs and wait for arrangements."

Then he took Yuan Zhiya and several Yuan clan warriors upstairs.

When he moved, the other family heads followed.

Even the head of the Uesugi family, no matter how ugly his face was, still followed him upstairs.

"Everyone, please."

The seats on the second floor had been prepared for them, and there were red wine and snacks on the small table at hand, which really looked like an invitation for them to watch a good show.

Yuan Tengjian sat down without hesitation, and his eyes fell on Ishihara Satoshige, saying meaningfully: "Ishihara, you didn't bother Mr. Yoshikawa in the research institute these days, did you?"

Ishihara Satoshige has always been rated the best among the top ten geniuses. Perhaps because of his background, he is not self-abased, but humble and polite. No matter how others speak ill of him, he just responds with a smile.

Like a fool who knows nothing about the world.

Now he is no different from the past, still smiling sincerely: "Return to the master, Ishihara has worked hard these days and has not embarrassed the Genji."

"Haha, you areWhat kind of thing can represent our Genji?" Before anyone else could reply, Gen Chiya sneered, "Don't think that anyone who comes out of our Genji can become the representative of our Genji. Without you, our Genji can still cultivate thousands of you."

"Do you still think that you can get rid of the fact that you are of humble origins by being cultivated by the imperial court?"

"You wish! "

Yuan Zhiya was resentful. She was used to being spoiled, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with teaching a former servant a lesson.

Moreover, in her opinion, Ishihara Satoshi came to the research institute to walk into a trap, and sooner or later he would become a monster like Shibai Kenta.

He was obviously courting death, but he still thought he was on the rise. It was ridiculous!

Naturally, the other heads of the family would not care about Yuan Zhiya's ridicule.

Hotada Yoto glanced at her coldly and said nothing. Even Yoshikawa Ryuta just smiled faintly: "Ishihara, since you are the standard for selecting talents, then you can go down."

"Yes! "

Ishihara Satori was not angry at what Minamoto Chiya said, he still had that submissive look, even smiled gently at Minamoto Chiya, bowed and went downstairs.

Minamoto Chiya crossed her arms, facing his kind smile, not only did she not appreciate it, but she rolled her eyes: "Haha, after all this time, you still have the life of a slave! "

She seemed to want to vent her resentment after Yuan Zhiming's death on all the people who benefited from it.

If it were in the past, Yuan Tengjian would not care.

After all, he left Ishihara Riki with Yuan Zhiya in the first place to warn him not to become the next Yuan Takuma.

But when Qin Feng reminded him and made him suspicious of Ishihara Riki, he now looked at Ishihara Riki differently.

Ishihara Riki used to have a good temper, but not as good as it is now.

Everyone has a temper. Ishihara Riki not only did not have a temper for Yuan Zhiya's public humiliation, but there was not even a trace of acting.

Either he has excellent acting skills, or... it's because the person insulted by Yuan Zhiya was not him at all.
