Tonight's banquet officially began with the arrival of the dancers and other young officials.
Under the guidance of the servants, the brightly dressed princes and nobles sat down according to their status.
As for Crown Prince Feng, he sat in the main seat, surrounded by the crowd. However, according to the arrangement of Hundred Flowers Pavilion, Wu Chen's seat was placed in the third seat in the first row on the right.
Even though the guests were unfamiliar with this new face, they could more or less guess Wu Chen's identity from the arrangement of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. After all, everyone present had a huge power behind them. If they couldn't even see through these eye-catching things, they wouldn't be qualified to represent the power behind them to attend tonight's banquet.
After everyone took their seats, the organizer of the banquet, the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, walked out from behind the screen. For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on the legendary overlord of the people in front of them.
Wu Chen understood that the Pavilion Lord of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion wasn't just the master of the three major factions in the capital, but he was also deeply connected to the cultivation world. More importantly, the Pavilion Lord's strength was still a mystery. Facing such a mysterious man, no one was willing to become enemies with him. Even the royal family had to lower their noble heads in front of him. One could imagine how powerful the Hundred Flower Pavilion was.
"This humble one is Gong Cang Hai. This humble one feels Wan Fei's joy for everyone to be able to attend today's banquet. At the same time, this humble one is also honored. Hundred Flowers Building has experienced ups and downs for 30 years since it was opened. During these 30 years, many old friends have left, but at the same time, more and more new friends have come. Whether they are old friends or new friends, they have come here because of their trust in me. On behalf of Hundred Flowers Building, I would like to extend the grandest welcome to all of you.”
Gong Canghai's attire was extremely ordinary, so ordinary that no one could detect a hint of the copper coin aura of a merchant. With his common face, no one would be able to find him if he was thrown into a sea of people, but it was precisely this sort of person who possessed such a pivotal status in the capital, and all of this had been personally forged by this person in the short span of thirty years.
"Tower Lord, you're too kind. Who in the capital doesn't know about the Hundred Flowers Tower, and who doesn't know you, Tower Lord Gong? This banquet hosted by the Tower Master to celebrate the founding of the empire was a good thing and a major event. It was a blessing for everyone present to be invited by the Tower Master.”
Even someone as powerful as Crown Prince Feng had to give face to Tower Master Gong. After all, a person with a background in the cultivation world could be compared to the royal family in the secular world. Not to mention, the economic empire that Gong Canghai had built was so huge that even the royal family had to carefully consider it. Otherwise, with Wu Feng's current status, why would he personally attend such a folk banquet? Otherwise, why would so many princes and children be so bored? Could it be that he just wanted to see a beautiful woman drink some wine? The Hundred Flowers Pavilion was so powerful that even the Chen-Xing Empire had to pay attention to it.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are being too serious. I am just a man of the grass. I am afraid that I have a body of martial arts and a body of wealth. How can the country and the people compare to the royal family? Today, the Crown Prince is here in person to give me face. Of course, I am quite happy that everyone can come.”
As the overlord of a generation, Gong Canghai had his own dignity, and he didn't lose his dignity even when facing the crown prince. His words were smooth and smooth, and while he gave the Crown Prince face, he didn't forget the people present. It had to be said that Gong Canghai hadn't relied on the power behind him to develop in the capital to this point.
"OP, you're too modest! Wu Feng still has some urgent matters to deal with, so he can't share the banquet with everyone here. If he has offended you, please don't take it to heart.”
Even though Wu Feng was here, the main character today was still Gong Canghai. Seeing that Gong Canghai had no intention of conversing with him and was even changing the topic, Wu Feng knew that there was no point in this trip. He wouldn't be able to gain anything if he stayed any longer. In order to preserve his reputation, Wu Feng immediately took his leave and apologized.
"Take care, Your Highness!" Gong Canghai clearly didn't take Wu Feng's trick to heart. He simply cupped his hands and sent Wu Feng off without any unnecessary actions. It was as if Wu Feng was just a dispensable character in Gong Canghai's world.
Wu Feng was furious at Gong Canghai's rude behavior, but since he had already chosen to leave, he would not be angry. Gong Canghai was simply too powerful, and the only people in the capital that Gong Canghai could take seriously were the Emperor and the leaders of the other two factions.
"Everyone, if some people leave like this, it will make the Wind Moon Hall even more romantic. If anyone wants to follow, this old man will definitely stop them. After all, the Hundred Flower Pavilion is just a place for fun.”Gong Canghai did not show any emotion as he watched Wu Feng leave. With a wave of his hand, he turned everyone's attention back to him. As for the figure that had left, it was as if he did not exist. He had the attitude of a person with authority in the world.
Who was Gong Canghai? How could he end today's banquet because of Wu Feng's departure? However, everyone present didn't think so. Although they were all influential figures in the Chen-Xing Empire, not everyone had the ability to face Wu Feng like Gong Canghai. Even if they had the ability, not everyone was willing to provoke Wu Feng. Seeing that the Crown Prince Peak was forced back by Gong Canghai's aura, everyone had some ideas.
"Tower Lord Gong, the Moon Breeze Hall is a place for entertainment. If we guide the red tape of the secular world to this point, it would be an insult to the Moon Breeze Hall. Why don't we not talk about money or status tonight? Let's just talk about the wind and snow. I wonder what you think.”Seeing Gong Canghai force Wu Feng to retreat with a few words, Li Jingyi, who had had enough of Wu Feng's arrogance, immediately stood up.
"Nephew Li is right. It was this old man's intention to talk about the wind and moon in the Wind and Moon Hall.”Li Jingyi's words had obviously landed in Gong Canghai's heart. Otherwise, with Gong Canghai's status, he wouldn't have answered Li Jingyi's words.
"What a good talk about romance in the Wind and Moon Hall. I'm not leaving tonight! I wonder what kind of good stuff Tower Lord Gong has for everyone to see today.”Everyone present understood that it was not a wise decision to offend the White Flower Pavilion Master after knowing that they had already offended Wu Feng. After thinking about it, they sat in their original positions without moving.
"Friends, don't worry. If you don't have fun tonight, feel free to look for me. I, Gong Cang Hai, can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that you will have fun to your heart's content.”Seeing that everyone had stayed behind, Gong Canghai was obviously very satisfied.
With a wave of his hand, a string of musical instruments began to play. Groups of neatly dressed young ladies filed into the Wind and Moon Hall from both sides. Exquisite dance dresses, beautiful dance steps, and moving singing voices appeared in the Wind and Moon Hall. The people who were originally troubled by the previous incident were instantly attracted by the scene in front of them. Gradually, Gong Canghai was forced to retreat from Wu Feng's memories.
"Gong Canghai, what an awesome person. What exactly is this person relying on? He dared to face Wu Feng like this? At that time, he was an extraordinary person of his generation. If I can be like him in the future and become a Deputy Xiaoyao, wouldn't it be great?”Picking up the wine on the table, Wu Chen had unknowingly drunk many cups, and all of this was for the sake of pleasure.
Perhaps it was because the two of them were natural enemies, but seeing Wu Feng being forced back by Gong Canghai, Wu Chen's pressure from entering the Wind Moon Hall completely dissipated.
The banquet continued, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet gradually reached its climax under the guidance of the dance steps and songs. From time to time, the guests could be seen raising their glasses and drinking together in the Fengyue Hall.
"Young master, let us drink this cup together, not for anything else but to be able to sit together with young master.”Seeing that everyone was drinking, a young master sitting next to Wu Chen saw that Wu Chen was the only one around and immediately raised his wine glass to Wu Chen.
"That's good. Come!" For the guests who could sit on the right row, they all had prominent backgrounds or extraordinary abilities. Wu Chen naturally had to keep a good distance from such people.
"You're welcome!" Seeing Wu Chen raise his cup slightly lower than his own, the young master was very satisfied with this. After a polite greeting, he drank all the wine in the cup.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Next, our Moon Breeze Hall's Hall Master, Miss Li Bingyan, who is also known as the dancer, will present a song for everyone. At the same time, according to the rules of our Hundred Flowers Pavilion, if that young master can get the favor of the dancer, then he will have the opportunity to meet with our Lady Bing Yan alone.”As he stirred up the atmosphere in the hall, Gong Cang Hai knew that he had to bring up the atmosphere appropriately. The main character of the recent banquet had yet to appear. After clapping his hands, Cang Hai returned to the main seat.
As Gong Canghai returned to his seat, all the lights in the Wind Moon Hall went out at the same time. The only thing that remained was the shadow formed by the moonlight in the middle of the hall. Accompanied by a faint fragrance, the dancer, Li Bingyan, slowly walked into the hall with light steps. A glance and a smile revealed the charm of a woman, and the gentleness of a young girl was revealed with a raise of her hand and a bare foot. The atmosphere in Ying Ge's Dancing Wind Moon Hall reached its peak with the floating dance.
For some reason, every time he looked at Li Bingyan, Wu Chen's heart would ache. The lighter the dance, the more painful his heart would feel. Wu Chen didn't know where this pain came from.
"Could it be that this person has a great relationship with me, but why can't I remember him?”While he was daydreaming, Wu Chen finally understood why this pain felt so familiar. It was the same inexplicable feeling ten years ago in the summer. It was Li Xiaomu's death back then, so why was it happening today? One had to know that this kind of feeling would only appear among close relatives. Could it be that he and Li Bingyan were inextricably linked, but he just didn't know about it?
Under the influence of this mood, Wu Chen had no mood to continue enjoying the banquet. He sat alone at the side and drank the wine in his cup. That night, Wu Chen drank a lot and thought a lot. He didn't even know how he returned to the manor in the end. Of course, the story of his mother's death had to come to an end.
