1321. Chapter 1282: The Test of the Xia Family Banquet, Gongsun Muyu
Chapter 1282: Test of the Banquet of the Xia Family, Gongsun Muyu
The reception hall of the Xia Family is also very grand.
It seems that because of the Shuyang County, the totem symbol here is the sheep.
On the high hall of the reception hall, a sheep head skull is hung on the wall.
There is a wooden table below, and two chairs are sitting separately. The one on the left is the head of the Xia Family, Shu Hai.
And the one on the right is the great elder of the Sanluan Sect, Qi Kuangyin.
Standing below are the disciples of the Sanluan Sect and the direct descendants of the Xia Family.
”Elder Qi can come to my Xiayang County this time, which also makes this place glorious,” said Shu Hai with a smile.
”Master Shu is serious. If I have disturbed you this time, I hope you will understand,” Qi Kuangyin said with a smile.
”No problem,” Shu Hai was talking and laughing, and Shu Long walked in with Xu Zimo.
”Daddy, Elder Qi,” Shu Long also greeted.
”You rebellious son, why are you running around all day? You are the only one who is late among all the distinguished guests of the Sanluan Sect,” said Shu Hai.
”Master Shu, it’s okay. I see that the second son has a free and easy temperament, so I don’t think it’s intentional.
Besides, we are not outsiders, so we don’t care about this,” Qi Kuangyin said
with a smile. “The banquet I prepared is almost ready. Elder Qi, why don’t you move over and let’s eat and chat,” Shu Hai stood up and said with a smile.
”And I also specially invited Miss Gongsun, who is drunk with beauty, tonight there will be a special sword dance performance.”
”Then I’m looking forward to it,” Qi Kuangyin said with a smile.
”I wonder if Senior Painting Saint will come?”
”This is disappointing for Elder Qi. Senior Painting Saint doesn’t like to attend this kind of banquet,” Shu Hai shook his head.
But it makes sense. What kind of existence is the Painting Saint? Although they are not weak, they are not at the same level as him.
It is understandable that he didn’t come.
Shu Hai and Qi Kuangyin took the lead at the front, and the others followed closely.
There were not many people from the Sanluan Sect, only three men and one woman, and they all wore special Feiluan robes.
The robes were like those of immortals, with flying clothes and purple air.
Wu Zhaodi’s eyes swept over the faces of several people, and then she quickly lowered her head and tightened the veil on her face.
When they arrived at the banquet venue, although it was open-air, the lanterns around made it as bright as day.
A large table of delicacies from the mountains and the sea was ready. Except for Shu Long, Xu Zimo and the others were not qualified to sit down.
”The owner of Zui Hongyan has arrived,” a servant announced.
Then, a woman in a lavender dress walked over leisurely, followed by several maids.
She had the fragrance of peony, and even the peony pattern was reflected on her purple dress.
It can be seen that this woman’s obsession with peony has penetrated her heart.
She also wore a veil, and her eyes were like a blooming peony, with a hint of softness in her coldness.
Her long hair was scattered behind her, and on her pearl-like earlobes, the crystal clear earrings swayed slowly with her posture.
”Gongsun Muyu, I meet you two,” the purple-shirted woman said after introducing herself with a smile.
”I have admired the Sanluan Sect for a long time. It is a great honor to meet them today.”
”I cannot bear what the owner said,” Qi Kuangyin shook his head.
In fact, their Sanluan Sect is nothing. Qi Kuangyin also understood that the other party was giving face to the Tianluan Palace behind them.
After all, the Tianluan Palace ignored the secular world, and their Sanluan Sect was
just their agent. Otherwise, no one would care about their Sanluan Sect.
The three main characters sat down, and the maid brought by Gongsun Muyu performed a sword dance next to them.
Others watched with relish, but these three chatted among themselves.
After all, for their realm, ordinary sword dance is just for appreciation, and it can’t suddenly change the realm or something.
”Elder Qi is coming to Shuyang County to recruit students this time. How many days are you going to stay?” Gongsun Muyu asked first.
”Seven days,” Qi Kuangyin did not hide it. After all, there was no way to hide such a thing.
”I remember that Sanluan Sect recruits disciples every year, isn’t it in summer? Why is it so early this year?” Shuhai also pretended to be curious and asked.
”The leader’s order, I don’t know about it,” Qi Kuangyin evaded.
On the other side, Xu Zimo and Wu Zhaodi found a pavilion with few people and sat in it.
Wu Zhaodi’s eyes never left Qi Kuangyin.
”Do you know him?” Xu Zimo asked.
”He is nominally the great elder of Sanluan Sect, but in fact he is a chess piece used by Tianluan Palace to supervise the leader,” Wu Zhaodi said.
”Isn’t Sanluan Sect a branch of Tianluan Palace?
Why does it need supervision?” Xu Zimo asked curiously.
”Let alone the branches, even the Tianluan Palace itself is constantly fighting between factions.
The differences between the young and the old are the most serious. The leader is from the young and the old, and Qi Kuangyin was arranged by the old,” Wu Zhaodi explained.
But at this point, Wu Zhaodi shook her head again and replied: “Why should I tell you this? It’s meaningless.”
”I suspected it before, but now I am more certain that you are from the Tianluan Palace,” Xu Zimo said.
”So what if you know it? Are you going to tell it to me?” Wu Zhaodi asked back.
”This is not important to me,” Xu Zimo shook his head.
”I also know that you are not that kind of person, otherwise I wouldn’t tell you so much,” Wu Zhaodi snorted arrogantly.
”What are you two talking about?” A chuckle suddenly came from the side, and a young man walked over.
This young man was the one he had seen before in Zui Hongyan. Xu Zimo remembered that the other party seemed to be Shu Long’s eldest brother.
”Some family matters,” Xu Zimo said.
”It seems that my second brother has a good relationship with you, otherwise he would not have brought you to my home,” the young man said with a smile.
”Let me introduce myself, Shu Hu, the eldest son of the Shu family.”
”Then I wonder if the eldest son has something to do?” Wu Zhaodi asked indifferently.
”I want to make friends with you two,” Shu Hu said with a smile.
”I don’t make friends with strangers,” Wu Zhaodi refused directly.
”Don’t rush to refuse, my second brother is a waste.
Do you think your life is too long to be friends with him?” Shu Hu smiled slowly.
”Being friends with me, there is nothing that my Shu family can’t do in this Shuyang County.
I don’t think you two are from Shuyang County. You come here just to seek fame and fortune.”
”I want his head, can you do it?” Wu Zhaodi pointed to the figure of Qi Kuangyin in the yard and said lightly.
Hearing this, Shu Hu was stunned for a moment, and only stood up after confirming that Wu Zhaodi was not joking.
He sneered and said, “You two are also sentimental people, but in this world, the most people who die are sentimental people.”
After Shu Hu finished speaking, he turned away.
Not long after Shu Hu left, Shu Long also hurried over.
”Did my eldest brother win you over?” Shu Long asked straight to the point.
”What do you think?” Xu Zimo smiled playfully.
