Elder Qian smiled awkwardly.”
Everyone laughed and invited Wei Xiaobao into the room.
"Please take a look, Incense Master Wei," Guan Anji said anxiously.”As he spoke, he handed over a red invitation card with a few lines of words written in thick black ink.
Guan Anji was the most prestigious person in Qingmu Hall. He had white hair in his hair and looked to be over forty years old. He had a long beard.
Wei Xiaobao glanced at him and smiled."Very good. You actually have the mood to treat us to a meal.”
Elder Qian nodded and asked,""Incense Master Wei, how much do you know about Mu Jiansheng?”
"Isn't Mu Jiansheng the Duke of the Mu Estate? Why? Could it be that he had another identity?”Wei Xiaobao looked at him in confusion. How much could he understand? He had never seen her in person.
"I don't have any other identities, but..." Elder Qian paused and continued,"Lord Mu's Mansion is quite famous in Jianghu, and Mu Jiansheng has the status of a young duke. He's a big shot who's on the same level as our Chief.”
"Fine, let's go," said Wei Xiaobao with a smile."We'll have a good meal tonight, and we'll all be able to enjoy ourselves. We've been invited to a feast, so why not?"”
"Incense Master Wei," Guan Anji nodded and said,"I'd be most happy if you invited us brothers to eat, drink, and play." However, this Mu invited us. If we don't go, we will inevitably lose the prestige of the Heaven and Earth Society.”
"What about you guys?" Wei Xiaobao looked at Li Lishi, Fan Gang, Qi Biaoqing, Xuan Zhen, Feng Jizhong, Qian Laoben, Gao Yanchao, and the others. They all nodded slowly, so he stood up and said loudly,"Since everyone says we're going, then let's go.”
After some discussion, Wei Xiaobao took off his eunuch uniform and dressed up like a young master. He still sat in the sedan chair and headed to South Beansprout Alley under the crowd's escort.
At the Mu family's residence, Wei Xiaobao and a few of his brothers from Greenwood Hall were invited as guests.
Everyone was welcomed into the living room. The servants served fragrant tea, and the drummers at the entrance of the living room began to play. It was a grand ceremony to welcome distinguished guests.
Amid the sound of drums, Mu Jiansheng ordered the banquet to begin and led everyone into the inner hall. His subordinate closed the door.
Mu Jiansheng was ten years older than Wei Xiaobao, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He wore a blue and white robe. He was tall and thin, full of heroic spirit, and had a slightly dark face. This was the first time Wei Xiaobao had seen him in person.
In the middle of the hall, there was an eight-square table with an embroidered table. There was a table on each side of the hall. Although the utensils on the table were not as luxurious as Prince Kang's residence, they were quite exquisite.
As everyone sat down, Guan Shiji pointed to a white-haired old man in his seventies and introduced him,""Incense Master Wei, this is the young duke's master, Liu Dahong. People in the martial arts world call him the Ironback Azure Dragon.”
The Iron-back Blue Dragon was indeed famous in the martial world. His strength, which was infinitely close to that of a top-notch expert, made his identity extraordinary.
Iron-back Blue Dragon Liu Dahong had been famous for a long time. It was said that Mu Tianbo had also respected him back then. When the Qing army pacified Yunnan, Liu Dahong went all out to save the orphans of the Mu family. Mu Jiansheng was his personal disciple and the number one figure in the Mu family's residence other than Mu Jiansheng.
Wei Xiaobao stood up and cupped his hands."I've heard so much about you." He glanced at the old man and saw that he was tall, with a red face and a sparse white beard. He was in his seventies, full of energy, and his eyes were bright.
The old man looked at Wei Xiaobao and smiled."The Heaven and Earth Society has become quite famous recently."
His voice was extremely loud. These few words were casually said, but it was like an ordinary person shouting loudly.
Wei Xiaobao smiled but did not reply.
"The Heaven and Earth Society is full of talents. Incense Master Wei is so young, he is truly a genius in the martial arts world!”Old Master Liu gave him a thumbs up, but he didn't know if it was sincere or fake.
"Hehe, the youth is not bad, but he is not a genius, nor is he a genius. He is more like a fool.”Wei Xiaobao shook his head and chuckled."My martial arts are mediocre. To be honest, I was able to become the incense master because my master deliberately promoted me. As for you guys, don't put a big label on me. I'm just a small figure, haha."
His words carried a hint of self-mockery. To be able to sit in the position of the incense master, it was indeed beyond one's control.
Old Master Liu smiled." Incense Master Wei is indeed straightforward. This old man admires him!"”
"Oh, three points? I'll be thankful if you have even a minute and a half.”Wei Xiaobao sat back in his chair and said,"Oh right, shouldn't we ask Big Brother Xu to come out?”
"Yes, yes, yes. Someone, invite Old Master Xu in!”Following Old Master Liu's order, Xu Tianchuan walked in under the lead of a few guards.
Xu Tianchuan was about the same age as Guan Anji and had a beard.
Seeing him arrive, Wei Xiaobao quickly got up and helped him to his seat. He smiled and asked,"Third Brother Xu, how's the ointment business recently?”
"There's no business at all." Xu Tianchuan sighed. This subordinate was captured by Wu Sangui's lackeys and almost lost his life. Fortunately, Meng Mu's Little Duke and Old Hero Liu saved him from danger.”
Hearing this, the members of the Heaven and Earth Society were stunned. They thought that Xu Tianchuan had been kidnapped by the Mu family, but they did not expect there to be such a twist.
"Third Brother Xu, it turns out that Wu Sangui's traitors were behind what happened that day."”
"That's right." Xu Tianchuan nodded. These traitors broke into Huichun Hall and captured me. That dog Lulu Yifeng scolded me and stuck a plaster on my mouth, saying that he would starve me to death.”
When everyone heard that Lu Yifeng was among them, they were certain that he was Wu Sangui's subordinate.
Fan Gang, Xuan Zhen, and the others said to Su Gang and Bai Hanfeng,"Sorry for offending you that day. The heroes are loyal, and our Heaven and Earth Society is eternally grateful.”
"I wouldn't dare. We are only following the orders of the young duke and do not dare to claim credit.”Bai Hanfeng snorted. It was obvious that saving Xu Tianchuan was against his wishes.
" After Third Brother Xu was kidnapped, we searched everywhere but couldn't find any clues," Guan Anji said." There's no need to explain the anxiety in our hearts. Your family actually saved Third Brother Xu, it was truly admirable.”
"Wu Sangui's Yunnan officials are all enemies of the Mu family, so we naturally keep a close eye on them." This dog official offended Third Brother Xu and was discovered by us.”
'This Duke is quite capable,' thought Wei Xiaobao.'He's quite smart. I'll hold his sister while he goes to rescue Old Man Xu so he can beg me to let his sister go.”He looked at Xu Tianchuan and said," Third Brother Xu, you were seriously injured by Hero Bai Er. The strength in his hand is very powerful. Can you survive?" He won't die just like that, right?"
