Our most beautiful woman in Luoyun City has become our disciple!"
"Who is so powerful that he can take the most beautiful woman as his disciple?"
"That Su Muhan has a cold and aloof temperament, and has excellent alchemy talent. He must be a certain alchemy master from the Luoyun Sect, right?"
"You are wrong. Su Muhan's master is just a young foreign monk."
"This is impossible."
"How is it impossible?
I heard that the city lord is planning to host a banquet at the city lord’s mansion tonight, firstly to congratulate the head of the Su family on his recovery, and secondly, to make friends with this mysterious master, Su Muhan.”
In Luoyun City, there has been a commotion about Su Muhan's apprenticeship. Everyone is speculating on who this mysterious master is who can actually allow the city lord to host a banquet in person...
Su family hall.
"Senior, the Lord of Luoyun City suddenly sent someone to deliver an invitation."
Su Zhiyuan respectfully held the invitation in his hand and handed it to Xiao Xuan: "In order to congratulate me on my recovery and Mu Han's appointment as a famous teacher, I invite you to attend the banquet to be held tonight with me."
"oh?"
Xiao Xuan took the invitation, glanced at it casually, and asked Su Muhan and Zhinu beside him: "What do you think?"
The young slave frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Master, this should be a Hongmen Banquet."
Su Muhan also agreed upon hearing this: "Master, I think so too. I'm afraid this banquet is not that simple. We'd better be cautious. It's best not to go."
They killed Wang Rong, the only son of the city lord. Although they did it cleanly, the city lord Luoyun did not have any substantial evidence.
However, the two women knew clearly that if Zhu Ruo of Luoyun City really wanted to make friends with his master, he would have already held a banquet when Su Muhan became his apprentice a few days ago, and there was no need to wait so many days before sending the invitation.
Therefore, they felt that the Lord of Luoyun City had noticed some clues and that this banquet was most likely planned for them.
"Hongmen Banquet?
This is impossible, senior just accepted Mu Han as his disciple, and he will not pose any threat to Luoyun City. Is it too much to make a fuss about?"
Su Zhiyuan didn't know that Xiao Xuan and the others killed the son of the city lord, so he was a little confused about what the two women said. He was still happy to receive the invitation from the city lord of Luoyun. After all, the city lord hosted a banquet in person this time, which was enough to show his respect for him.
Pay attention to.
Now that he has broken through to the realm of the golden elixir, Su Muhan has completed the improvement of the rejuvenating elixir. The invitation from the Lord of Luoyun City is a signal of goodwill in his opinion.
If the Su family can get the support of the Lord of Luoyun City, their re-emergence will be just around the corner.
The two women ignored Su Zhiyuan completely and looked at each other, seeing a solemn look in each other's eyes.
Paper can never cover up the fire. In fact, they had been mentally prepared for a long time. They expected that sooner or later the Lord of Luoyun City would find out that his son's death was related to him and others, and would not give up so easily, but they did not expect it to be so soon.
"Is it Su Hongyuan's fault?"
Their Su Hongyuan is indeed the most suspect.
After all, he had a hand cut off by his master, and his plot to take over the Su family was ruined. He must be angry in his heart, and it is natural for him to want revenge.
"Hmph, I said before that if we cut the grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze will bring new growth. Letting that beast Su Hongyuan go will only do us harm but not any good. In this matter, Su Hongyuan must have used the hands of the Lord of Luoyun City to deal with us."
Strong anger appeared on Zhinu's pretty face, and she gritted her teeth.
Su Muhan also nodded with deep understanding.
Su Hongyuan secretly plotted against her father to seize the position of head of the family, and placed an undercover agent beside her for ten years. If the master had not appeared in time, both father and daughter would have died.
Therefore, her attitude towards Su Hongyuan was the same as that of a child slave, she wanted to kill him quickly, but Su Zhiyuan, the biggest victim, chose to forgive her. Her father's fate was difficult, so she let her
I have to endure it for the time being.
If Su Hongyuan was really behind this Hongmen Banquet, she would never let him go easily this time.
When Su Zhiyuan heard what the two women said, he was shocked and hurriedly asked: "This is an invitation written by City Lord Wang himself. Hongyuan... Although Su Hongyuan is a master of the third level of Jindan, he has no interaction with the City Lord on weekdays. He wants to
I’m afraid the city lord doesn’t have such a big face when dealing with us, right?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Zhinu looked at him hatefully.
"It's all my fault for being such an indecisive and stupid father, Junior Sister. If not, we wouldn't have been exposed so quickly."
Feeling the look in Zhinu's eyes, Su Zhiyuan looked confused and didn't know what to say.
Su Muhan naturally knew what Zhinu was thinking, and couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
Xiao Xuan smiled faintly: "There is no need to worry about who is behind it. Since City Lord Wang invites us, we can go to the banquet calmly. I would like to see what tricks he is going to play on us!"
"Master, if this is really the Hongmen Banquet, then Wang Wencheng must have made sufficient preparations. Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go rashly?
Master, please think again."
Su Muhan frowned her delicate brows and quickly stopped her.
Zhinu also glanced at Xiao Xuan worriedly. She believed in her master's strength, but this time her opponent was the city lord of Luoyun City after all. Even if her strength was not as good as her master's, this was his territory. If the opponent attacked in groups,
I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous.
"It's okay, let's go and see what he can do to me?"
Xiao Xuan waved his hands, with a relaxed and comfortable expression on his face, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.
"But……"
Zhinu and Su Muhan were still worried.
"Child slave, don't forget the real purpose of our trip. This Hongmen Banquet is the beginning!"
Hearing this, the young slave was suddenly startled, fell into deep silence, and stopped trying to persuade him.
Su Muhan looked confused and had no idea what riddle the two were playing, but she vaguely felt that what Xiao Xuan was going to do would cause a strong shock to the entire Luoyun City!
"Okay, let's get ready. Let's go to the banquet tonight."
Xiao Xuan stood up, patted Zhinu on the shoulder, then turned around and left the hall with her.
Su Muhan and his daughter were left looking at each other in confusion.
…
In the evening, the city lord's mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion covers an area of several thousand acres and is even more grand and majestic than the Su family's mansion.
The courtyard wall is ten meters high and is covered with all kinds of talisman formations. Its defensive power is astonishing.
The interior architecture of the City Lord's Mansion is extremely luxurious, with simple and elegant style pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and flowing water. Everything is exquisite and elegant. As soon as you enter the mansion, you will feel like a dream.
Feel.
"Haha... I, the city lord, feel honored to have Brother Su and Mr. Xiao come here!"
As soon as Xiao Xuan and the others stepped into the door of the mansion, a hearty laugh came from the front hall, and then a figure walked out quickly from inside, with a bright smile on his face.
The person who came was wearing a purple brocade robe, with a handsome face, clear facial features, and dark eyes, which gave people a wise and gentle feeling, and exuded a domineering aura unique to a superior person.
This person is none other than the Lord of Luoyun City, Wang Wencheng!
Wang Wencheng came up quickly and greeted Xiao Xuan and the four of them warmly, as if they were sorry to see each other so late.
"City Master Wang, you're so polite. How dare Su bother you to come and greet him in person? What you do is really embarrassing Su."
Su Zhiyuan bowed his hands humbly, with a look of sincerity and fear on his face, but the smile on his cheeks never weakened at all.
"Brother Su, you are too outspoken. Do we still need to be so polite between us?
Wang is already very honored that you can come to Mr. Wang’s banquet.”
"City Lord Wang, you praise me, Su Zhiyuan, too highly."
Su Zhiyuan's face was slightly red, but he still felt very happy in his heart.
For City Lord Wang to be able to invite him to the banquet was enough to show that he still had a certain weight in Wang Wencheng's heart, which made him feel even more honored.
"Hahaha, Brother Su, you're welcome."
Wang Wencheng laughed heartily, and then said to Xiao Xuan, "Is this Young Master Xiao?
I have admired his name for a long time, and today I saw that he is indeed a young man with great appearance and talent."
Although there was a modest and polite look on his face, a strange smile that seemed to have succeeded in his conspiracy kept flashing in the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Xuan had been paying attention to Wang Wencheng's every move, and naturally saw Wang Wencheng's changes in his eyes. He sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all, it was still a faint smile.
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Xiao Xuan also said politely: "Xiao Xuan, Lord Wang is so polite."
Wang Wencheng waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "Let's go in and talk."
Su Muhan and Zhinu on the side quickly followed him respectfully.
Wang Wencheng led everyone to the main hall, and saw that the hall was already full of guests and friends, including many familiar faces, all of whom were famous people in this thousand-mile radius.
Su Hongyuan, Spirit Sword Sect Li Muge, Tianjian Sect Yan Bugui, as well as the wealthy families who raised their bids at the auction a few days ago.
Xiao Xuan glanced at it, and found that everyone present had a strong cultivation level. The weakest one was at the first level of the Golden Core, a total of thirty people!
What a big deal!
It seems that Wang Wencheng has made full preparations tonight!
Seeing all these people coming together, Wang Wencheng on the side was secretly happy and glanced at Xiao Xuan calmly.
With so many people gathered together, even if you have extraordinary abilities, you can't escape being captured.
Xiao Xuan naturally felt the look in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel secretly amused.
He naturally knew what Wang Wencheng was planning, but these people did not pose any threat to him. Even if there were Nascent Soul stage monks among the visitors, he could still deal with them.
But now is not the time to quarrel. Everyone is pretending to be polite, and Xiao Xuan is too lazy to expose it.
At this time, the young slave behind him suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Xuan's sleeve.
Xiao Xuan looked back, only to see Zhinu shaking his head at him, and then pouting in one direction to signal him to look over there.
"Master, the person sitting over there is my former second uncle!"
Zhinu said in a low voice, with an uncontrollable murderous look on his face, and he was gnashing his teeth, as if he hated his second uncle so much that he wished he could immediately go forward and cut him into pieces.
Xiao Xuan frowned, looked in the direction Zhinu pointed, and immediately saw an unfamiliar face.
The man was mediocre in appearance, short and fat in stature, with a face like a pie, and a cold and vicious light appeared in his eyes from time to time.
He was clearly a strong man with the third level of the Golden Core, but his face was filled with a flattering smile, and he was chatting happily with the people around him.
As if he felt the gazes of Xiao Xuan and Zhinu, he turned around with a smile on his face, which looked as bright as a chrysanthemum.
Immediately, he cupped his fists and bowed in the air, his attitude was very friendly, and his face was full of sincerity.
