章 86: Protection

"Hahahaha! Brother Chu Ning, congratulations!"

The laughter just broke out when several men entered Phoenix Restaurant.

Chu Ning suppressed his surprise and went up to receive them. "Brother Xiangtian, why are you all here?"

These people were of high status. By right, they shouldn't have come…

"Brother Chu Ning made a comeback after so many years, and you're now the imperial guards' Commander in Chief. Your beloved daughter got into Tian Lu Academy with stunning talent. Of course, we have to come and celebrate!" said Ou Xiangtian as he patted Chu Ning's shoulder.

The others nodded. They were clearly there for the same reasons.

However, Chu Ning's doubt only deepened. He did know these people, but they were not close. After all, they were all outstanding members of their own families, so there was no way they would be particularly close.

He had been down and under all these years, and people rarely paid attention to him.
