944. Chapter 944 Banquet in the City Lord's Mansion
The day flies by in a blink of an eye.
The incident that happened in Lingcheng Restaurant, all the diners who witnessed this process were looking forward to when the Ling family would come to take revenge.
But a full night had passed, and the Ling family did not see any determination to take revenge.
Everyone was shocked. It seemed that the thigh held by Ghost King Lingtian was really thick. It was so thick that even the Ling family, the first family in Lingcheng, did not dare to provoke it at will.
But how did they know that it wasn't that the Ling family didn't come to take revenge, but that today the Lord of Ling City had a 300-year-old ghost life.
This is a very important day.
City Lord Ling sees it as very important.
If something bad happens in Lingcheng today, other families will definitely point fingers behind their backs.
This is bad for the Ling family's reputation.
After City Lord Ling's death has passed, it won't be too late for them to seek revenge on Lin Tianyou.
At this moment, the entrance to the City Lord's Mansion in Lingcheng was very busy today.
There was an endless stream of carriages coming and going, and almost every carriage was inlaid with gold.
There are many gorgeous carriages made of soul stones. From these luxury cars, it can be seen that the people who come here have extremely extraordinary status.
Several young men and women in gorgeous clothes appeared at the door of the city lord's mansion.
One of the women was wearing a light green dress and a hairpin on her head. She looked like an ancient beauty, looking classic and delicate.
This person is none other than Ling Li, who was taught a lesson by Lin Tianyou yesterday!
If you only looked at her dress today, no one would recognize that this woman is a vicious woman who likes to bully the weak.
There was a young man accompanying him.
The young man had an extraordinary temperament and a warm smile on his lips, as if he was trying to please Ling Li.
This young man is none other than the second-ranked young master of the Meng family in Lingcheng, Meng Guang!
The rest are young masters and ladies from other families in Lingcheng.
They are all juniors and do not live with the elders in the family.
I want to present my birthday gift to the Lord of Lingcheng as a junior.
"Mr. Meng, what gift are you planning to give to City Lord Ling today? Can you let us broaden our horizons first?"
As soon as they entered the city lord's mansion, someone started asking.
"Master Meng's gift will definitely make us a hundred times, a thousand times stronger.
This time, except for the Ling family, no one can surpass the gift given by Master Meng."
Before Meng Guang could open his mouth, someone was already rushing to answer.
"Haha, everyone is welcome. I don't think City Lord Ling will look down on anyone just because the gift is bad. Everyone's gifts are sincere, so there is no need to accept them."
Meng Guang smiled faintly, seemingly not caring how expensive the gift he gave was.
But inside, he was so proud that he almost laughed out loud.
Being able to send expensive gifts to City Lord Ling is a manifestation of strength in itself.
"Mr. Meng, I heard that City Lord Ling invited the housekeeper of Moyun Mansion to attend the birthday banquet today. Is it true?"
A young man in yellow asked, blinking.
His family is just a third-rate small family in Lingcheng, and they are not even qualified to come here to give gifts. If Meng Guanggong didn't lead them in, they would have no chance in the next life.
So they didn't know exactly who was invited to the banquet.
"Yes, it is indeed so!"
Meng Guang nodded and said:
"And this time we not only invited the housekeeper of Moyun Mansion, but also the guest of Moyun Mansion!"
"What, the guest of Moyun Mansion?"
Everyone was shocked.
The housekeeper of Moyun Mansion was scary enough, but unexpectedly, an even scarier guest came.
Where did City Lord Ling get such a big reputation?
"Aguang, what does the guest minister of Moyun Mansion look like? Have you seen him?"
Ling Li, who had always been worried, became very interested after hearing about the guest from Moyun Mansion.
"I've definitely never seen such a big figure as the guest minister of Moyun Mansion, who is looking down on us from above.
If we can take a look at it from a distance, our life will be worthwhile.
When he comes, I’m afraid only your Ling family’s head can see him!”
With that said, Meng Guang made a gentlemanly gesture toward Ling Li, asking Ling Li to enter the city main hall first.
"Let's go find a seat and chat slowly!"
When everyone heard this, they thought it was the same. Someone from Moyun Mansion came over today. It would be too embarrassing if they lost etiquette by standing here.
Come to the lobby.
Everyone was immediately stunned by the sight in front of them.
There are palace-like decorations, drinks, snacks, and fruits everywhere.
The plates and bowls and chopsticks on the table are all made of gold, and the decoration is very luxurious.
There is also a banner hanging in front of the hall.
It wrote: Welcome the guests of Moyun Mansion and the housekeeper to come to Lingcheng to attend the ghost birthday banquet of the city lord.
The banner is very long, but the words on it are written clearly, every word, every word, even if people stand far away, they can still see it at a glance.
Many people even doubted whether today's banquet was the city lord's birthday banquet or a reception banquet for the guests of Moyun Mansion.
Obviously City Lord Ling takes Moyun Mansion's guest very seriously.
This banner has turned the host and guest of today's banquet upside down.
"As expected of Dragon Scale City's Moyun Mansion, the cards are great!"
Someone sighed softly.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?
General Moyun is one of the five hundred demon generals of the Dragon Emperor and Ghost Emperor.
With just these four words, Dragon Emperor and Ghost Emperor, who among the ghost clans in the world would dare to disrespect them?"
The person next to him heard this and immediately echoed.
"The Dragon Emperor and the Ghost Emperor have been dead for so many years, but his majesty is still something people dare not underestimate.
If he can achieve this, he is worthy of the title of the strongest ghost emperor in the underworld."
Others also expressed their feelings.
"I heard that the Dragon King and the Ghost Emperor are a cold and handsome man.
He is powerful and handsome. If I could meet him before his soul was destroyed, I would be willing to shorten my life by fifty years."
Ling Li said with a look of infatuation.
It's not scary that a person is powerful. What's scary is that this person can still be powerful enough to make people respect him even after decades of soul-destroying his name.
In the entire underworld, perhaps the only person who can achieve this step is Yin Tianzi.
"Live less than fifty years? Even if you live less than a thousand years, you are not qualified to see the Dragon Emperor and the Ghost Emperor."
Meng Guang complained in his heart.
Putting aside his inner sneers, Meng Guang led everyone to a position where they could see the true nature of the banquet and sat down.
After a while, a steward from the City Lord's Mansion came over and said with a smile on his face:
"Young Meng is here? Would you like to sit in the front, where we are closer to the Lord of the City? Maybe we can meet the guests of Moyun Mansion up close!"
Meng Guang slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Manager Zhang, that's exactly what I meant.
I just don’t know if I can let my companions go there together?
They are also looking forward to meeting the guests of Moyun Mansion."
"Them?"
Manager Zhang scanned the crowd and saw that almost all of them were young masters and young ladies from small families, and looked a little embarrassed.
"This is not good. If these young masters of low status go over and offend the guests of Moyun Mansion, I can't afford the crime."
