Wang Teng was a little surprised when the princess's maid sent him an invitation.
Ever since he rejected Li Rongxue's request last time, she had never come to find him again. He thought that they would not have any more interactions. He did not expect her to suddenly do something like this.
"What does she want?" Wang Teng couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
"Hmph!" The little maid was still holding a grudge against Wang Teng. She did not have a good attitude towards him. Now that she saw his hesitation, she snorted coldly.
"I don't know why the princess wants you to do this."
After she finished speaking, she flung her sleeves and left.
"Hey, this little girl has quite a temper." Wang Teng shook his head and did not take it to heart.
He looked at the invitation in his hand and casually threw it aside. No matter what Li Rongxue wanted to do, if he did not go, it would be futile.
After that, Wang Teng began to cultivate in his room. His strength had increased a lot, but he still needed to work hard. After all, there was still a long way to go.
At noon, Wang Teng and Göring sat together for lunch.
Su Lingxuan had been living in the Yang City Academy recently and would only come over occasionally. Therefore, there were only the two of them. Without Su Lingxuan chatting at the side, it was a little quiet.
"There's a banquet at Lord Yang's Mansion tonight. They invited me. The outstanding disciples of the other aristocratic families in Yang City will also be there with their elders. Wang Teng, come with me," Göring suddenly said.
Wang Teng was a little surprised, but he quickly restrained himself and asked, "Teacher, I heard that Lord Yang was poisoned and has been bedridden. Why is there a banquet?"
"They sent word that Lord Yang's poison has been completely removed. I think this banquet is to inform some people with ulterior motives that Lord Yang has recovered," Göring said meaningfully.
"Recovered?" Wang Teng was shocked. The Purple Core Grass was kept by the Yao Family. How did Li Rongxue refine the Purple Core Bone Developing Pill?
Did she get the Purple Core Grass from the Yao Family?
Or did he get another Purple Core Grass from somewhere else?
Various thoughts flashed through Wang Teng's mind, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled into a smile. He suddenly felt that this matter had become interesting.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so surprised?" Göring asked as he looked at Wang Teng.
"I'm a little surprised. I heard that the poison in Lord Yang's body is very rare and Lord Yang's Mansion couldn't do anything about it no matter how hard they tried. How did he suddenly get rid of the poison completely?" Wang Teng smiled and said half-jokingly.
"It's probably because the heavens took pity on him. Princess Li from Lord Yang's Mansion traveled all over the place in order to expel the poison from Lord Yang's body. She didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to find the spiritual medicine. It's really rare," Göring said with a smile.
Wang Teng smiled but did not express his opinion. Li Rongxue's filial piety was commendable, but he was not fond of the methods she had used on him.
However, Wang Teng did not refuse. Since he was going with Göring, there should be no problem.
Moreover, he also wanted to meet the geniuses from the aristocratic families. He had stayed in Yang City for almost two months, but he still had not met all the disciples from the aristocratic families. He might be able to gain something unexpected this time.
…
At night.
The sky was completely dark, but the entire Lord Yang's Mansion was shrouded in lights. It was as bright as day.
Many people entered and exited the Lord Yang's Mansion, and it was very lively.
Especially when some important people arrived, the servants at the door would sing loudly to show their respect.
Wang Teng and Göring arrived at the Lord Yang's Mansion in a unicorn horned carriage.
The unicorn horned horse was a type of star beast. It was gentle and very fast. It was domesticated and used as a means of transportation.
However, not many people could afford to use a unicorn horned horse. After all, it was a star beast. Even if it was gentle, it was not easy to domesticate it. It required a lot of manpower and resources, so it was very expensive.
Göring's unicorn horned horses were given to him by someone else. They were usually kept in the stable and would only be used for important occasions.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance, someone immediately came up to welcome them.
Wang Teng jumped down from the carriage and helped Göring down.
With his strength, he did not need to help Göring at all. However, Göring said that he had to pay attention to his image during important occasions. He had to look virtuous and respected.
In the past, Su Lingxuan was the one who did this. However, Su Lingxuan came with her father and was not by her side. Therefore, Wang Teng had to do it for her.
The servant who came up to welcome them was shocked when he saw Göring. He quickly said loudly, "President Göring from the Runes Guild is here!"
"President Göring, please come in!"
Then, a pretty maid came forward to lead the way. Göring and Wang Teng were brought into the depths of the Yang King Residence's courtyard.
Wang Teng turned around and took a look. Many people needed to show their invitation cards before they could enter. However, they came in just like that.
Face recognition!
It was definitely face recognition!
He did not expect Teacher Göring's face to be so useful.
Wang Teng had a strange look in his eyes. He could not help but look at Göring's face. He did not think that he had such a big face. In fact, no one even looked at him and treated him as if he was invisible.
The entire Yang King Residence was filled with joy and excitement. Many people in the residence were busy preparing for the banquet. There was an endless stream of guests and people who were familiar with each other greeted each other.
However, they took a different path from Wang Teng. At this moment, Wang Teng followed Göring into a quiet corridor.
Oh my, this is the VIP passageway!
Not only was the VIP passageway quiet, but it was also a shortcut. Wang Teng and Göring soon arrived at the banquet venue.
Countless lanterns were hung high in the air, illuminating the flowers and trees in the surroundings. It was dreamy and unusually beautiful.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the night sky. The night was perfect.
The banquet was very grand. A tall and mighty middle-aged man sat in the main seat at the front. There were two long rows of guest seats on the left and right. At this moment, many people were already in the rows, chatting and laughing.
There were also several low stages around the banquet. There were zither players playing on the stages. Women covered in veils were dancing. The sound of the zither and woodwind instruments echoed in the banquet.
"The President of the Runes Guild has arrived!"
The servant who was in charge of announcing the names suddenly shouted loudly.
Then, two figures, one old and one young, walked in.
The eyes of the middle-aged man in the main seat lit up. He stood up and walked down from his seat to welcome Göring.
The guests also turned their heads to look.
"Hahaha, President Göring, long time no see."
A hearty laugh came out of Lord Yang's mouth.
"Congratulations on your recovery, Lord Yang. It's been a long time since we last met. You're still as handsome as ever." Göring smiled and cupped his hands.
"Hahaha, let's go to the main seat!"
Lord Yang seemed to be in a good mood. He pulled Göring up and arranged for him to sit in the first seat on his left.
It was obvious that the closer one was to Lord Yang's main seat, the higher the status of the person who could sit there.
Göring didn't decline and sat down with a smile. When the others saw this, they also took it for granted.
