"Have you heard?
The number one beauty of our Falling Cloud City has acknowledged someone as her master!”
"Who is so powerful that he can actually take the number one beauty as his disciple?”
"That Su Muhan has a cold and aloof personality, and is extremely talented in the Dao of alchemy. He must be some great alchemist from the Drifting Cloud Sect, right?”
"You're wrong about that. Su Muhan's master is just a young foreign cultivator.”
"That's impossible."
"How is it impossible?
I heard that the City Lord is preparing to hold a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion tonight. Firstly, he wants to congratulate the Su family's head on his recovery. Secondly, he wants to make friends with his mysterious master, Su Muhan.”
Within the Falling Cloud City, the matter of Su Muhan acknowledging a master was already in an uproar. Everyone was guessing who this mysterious master of hers was, to be able to make the City Lord personally host a banquet to entertain him…
In the Smiths 'living room.
"Senior, the Falling Cloud City Lord suddenly sent someone to deliver an invitation.”
Su Zhiyuan respectfully handed the invitation to Xiao Xuan.""To congratulate me on my recovery and Mu Han on becoming a master, I invite you to attend the banquet tonight.”
"Oh?"
Xiao Xuan took the invitation and glanced at it casually. He then asked Su Muhan and Zhi Nu beside him,"What do you think?"
Zhi Nu frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying,"Master, this should be a trap.”
Su Muhan also agreed." Master, I think so too. I'm afraid this banquet isn't that simple. It's better for us to be more cautious. It's best not to go."”
They had killed the City Lord's only son, Wang Rong. Although they had done it cleanly, the Falling Cloud City Lord had no concrete evidence.
However, the two women knew that if Zhu from Falling Cloud City truly wanted to befriend their master, he would have already held a banquet a few days ago when Su Muhan acknowledged him as his master. There was no need to wait so many days to send an invitation.
Thus, they felt that the Falling Cloud City Lord had detected some clues, and this banquet was most likely set up to target them.
"Feast at Hongmen?
That's impossible, right? Senior only took Mu Han as his disciple and wouldn't pose any threat to Falling Cloud City. Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?”
Su Zhiyuan did not know that Xiao Xuan and the other two had killed the City Lord's son, so he did not understand what the two women were saying. He was still happy that he had received the invitation from the Falling Cloud City Lord. After all, the City Lord had personally hosted a banquet to entertain him, which was enough to show that he was valued.
Now that he had broken through to the Golden Elixir realm, and Su Muhan had completed the refinement of the Soul Recovery Pill, the invitation from the Falling Cloud City Lord was a sign of goodwill in his eyes.
If the Su family could obtain the support of the Falling Cloud City Lord, it would be a matter of time before they could rise again.
The two girls completely ignored Su Zhiyuan. They looked at each other and saw a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes.
Paper could never hide the truth. They had already mentally prepared themselves for this. They had expected that sooner or later, the Falling Cloud City Lord would find out that their son's death was related to them and would not let it go so easily. However, they did not expect it to be so fast.
"Could it be Su Hongyuan's doing?"
Su Hongyuan was indeed the biggest suspect.
After all, his master had cut off his hand and ruined his plot to seize the Su family. He must be furious. It was only natural that he wanted revenge.
"Hmph, as I said before, if you don't get rid of the roots, the grass will grow again. Letting that bastard Su Hongyuan go will only do us harm and no good. Su Hongyuan must have used the hands of the Falling Cloud City Lord to deal with us.”
Intense anger appeared on Zhi Nu's pretty face as she gritted her teeth.
Su Muhan nodded in agreement.
Su Hongyuan had plotted against her father to usurp the position of the family head and planted a spy by her side for ten years. If it hadn't been for her master's timely appearance, the father and daughter would have died.
Therefore, her attitude towards Su Hongyuan was the same as Zhinu's. They both wanted to kill him as soon as possible. However, Su Zhiyuan, the biggest victim, chose to forgive him. It was difficult for her to be a father, so she had to forgive him.
He had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
If Su Hongyuan was really behind this, she would not let him off so easily.
Su Zhiyuan was shocked when he heard what the two girls said. He quickly asked,""This is City Lord Wang's personally written invitation. Hongyuan…Su Hongyuan may be a third level Golden Core expert, but he doesn't usually interact with the City Lord.”
Who knew that just as he said this, Zhi Nu would look at him hatefully.
"It's all Junior Sister's fault for being so indecisive and stupid. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been exposed so quickly.”
Su Zhiyuan was dumbfounded when he felt the young servant's gaze. He did not know what to say.
Su Muhan naturally knew what Zhinu was thinking, and his expression couldn't help but become somewhat awkward.
Xiao Xuan smiled faintly." There's no need to worry about who's behind this. Since City Lord Wang has invited us, we'll just attend the banquet. I'd like to see what tricks he has up his sleeve!"”
"Master, if this is really a Hongmen Banquet, then Wang Wencheng must have already made sufficient preparations. Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to rashly go?
Please reconsider, Master."
Su Muhan frowned and hurriedly stopped him.
Zhi Nu also looked at Xiao Xuan worriedly. She believed in her master's strength, but the opponent this time was the City Lord of Falling Cloud City. Even if his strength was not as good as her master's, this was his territory. If the other party attacked together, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"It's fine. What can I do if I go and see him?”
Xiao Xuan waved his hand. His face was relaxed and pleased, as if he did not take this matter to heart.
"But…"
Zhi Nu and Su Muhan were still worried.
"Zhi Nu, don't forget the true purpose of our trip. This Hongmen Banquet is the beginning!”
Hearing this, the child slave was stunned and fell into a deep silence. He did not persuade her anymore.
Su Muhan had a dumbfounded look on her face. She had no idea what the two of them were talking about, but she had a vague feeling that what Xiao Xuan was going to do would cause a huge commotion in the entire Falling Cloud City!
"Alright, get ready. We'll go to the banquet tonight.”
Xiao Xuan stood up, patted Zhi Nu's shoulder, and turned to leave the hall with her.
Only Su Muhan and his daughter were left looking at each other in confusion.
……
In the evening, in the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord's mansion occupied thousands of acres. Compared to the Su family's mansion, it was more magnificent and magnificent.
The walls of the courtyard were ten meters high, and all kinds of talismans and arrays were carved on the walls. Their defensive power was astonishing.
The interior of the City Lord's Mansion was extremely luxurious. It used an ancient and elegant style of pavilions, rockery, and flowing water. There was everything you could want. Everywhere was exquisite and elegant. Once you entered the mansion, you felt like you were in a dream.
"Haha…I feel honored to have Brother Su and Young Master Xiao here!”
As soon as Xiao Xuan and the other three stepped into the manor, a hearty laughter came from the front hall. Immediately after, a figure walked out quickly from inside with a bright smile on his face.
The person was dressed in a purple brocade robe. He was handsome and had well-defined facial features. His eyes were dark and deep, giving off a wise and gentle feeling. His entire body emitted a domineering aura unique to those in power.
This person was none other than the Falling Cloud City Lord, Wang Wencheng!
Wang Wencheng quickly walked over and greeted Xiao Xuan and the other three warmly, looking as if he regretted not meeting them earlier.
"City Lord Wang is too polite. How could I dare to trouble you to personally welcome me? Your actions are really too embarrassing for me.”
Su Zhiyuan humbly cupped his hands, his face full of fear and trepidation, but the smile on his face did not weaken at all.
"Brother Su, you're too polite. Do we still need to be so polite between us?
I am already very honored that you are able to graciously attend my banquet.”
"City Lord Wang, you're overestimating me.”
Su Zhiyuan's face was slightly red, but he was still very happy in his heart.
City Lord Wang being 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 too polite.”
Wang Wencheng laughed heartily and then said to Xiao Xuan," This is Young Master Xiao, right?
I've heard a lot about you. Today, I see you're indeed young and handsome. You're a talented person!”
Although he had a humble and polite look on his face, the corners of his eyes kept flashing with a strange smile as if his scheme had succeeded.
Xiao Xuan had been paying attention to Wang Wencheng's every move, so he naturally noticed the changes in Wang Wencheng. He laughed coldly in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all. It was still a faint smile.
One should not hit a smiling person. Xiao Xuan also said politely,"I am Xiao Xuan. City Lord Wang is too polite.”
Wang Wencheng waved his sleeves and said with a smile,"Let's go in and talk."
Su Muhan and Zhi Nu quickly followed him respectfully.
Wang Wencheng brought everyone to the main hall and saw that the hall was already filled with guests. There were many familiar faces among them. They were all famous figures in the surrounding thousand miles.
Su Hongyuan, Li Muge of the Spirit Sword Sect, Yan Bugui of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the other major clans that had bid at the auction a few days ago.
Xiao Xuan swept a glance over everyone present. Everyone present had a powerful cultivation. The weakest was at the first level of the Golden Core Realm. There were a total of 30 people!
What a big deal!
It seemed that Wang Wencheng had made ample preparations for tonight!
Seeing that all these people had arrived, Wang Wencheng, who was at the side, was secretly delighted. He glanced at Xiao Xuan without batting an eyelid.
With so many people gathered together, even if you had the ability to reach the heavens and earth, you would not be able to escape the fate of being captured and killed.
Xiao Xuan naturally also felt his gaze and could not help but secretly laugh in his heart.
He naturally knew what Wang Wencheng was planning, but these people were not a threat to him. Even if there were Nascent Soul cultivators among them, he would have a way to deal with them.
However, now was not the time to shed all pretense of cordiality. Everyone was pretending to be polite, and Xiao Xuan was too lazy to expose them.
At this moment, the young servant behind him suddenly walked forward and reached out to pull Xiao Xuan's sleeve.
Xiao Xuan turned around and saw Zhi Nu shaking her head at him. Then, she pouted her lips in a direction, indicating for him to look over there.
"Master, the person sitting over there is my former second uncle!”
Zhi Nu said in a low voice. His face revealed an uncontrollable killing intent. He gritted his teeth as if he hated his second uncle to the core and wanted to immediately go forward and tear him into pieces.
Xiao Xuan frowned and looked in the direction that the servant was pointing at. He immediately saw an unfamiliar face.
The man had a plain face, a short and fat figure, and a flat-pancake-like face. His eyes occasionally revealed a cold and vicious light.
He was clearly a third level Golden Core expert, but his face was filled with a flattering smile as he chatted happily with the people around him.
As if he felt Xiao Xuan and Zhi Nu's gaze, he turned around with a smile on his face that was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
Then, he cupped his fists and bowed. His attitude was very friendly and his face was full of sincerity.
