Three days later, the day of the banquet finally arrived. Early in the morning, luxurious horse carriages were parked in front of the doors of the various aristocratic families, welcoming the guests who were on their way to the governor's palace.
However, once they entered the governor's palace, everyone was shocked. Some of them could not help but cry out in surprise.
"Heavens, am I seeing things? Isn't that the legendary Glory's Will Tree in that courtyard? A seedling that can be sold for hundreds of millions of gold coins in an auction? It's said that this Glory's Will Tree can help to gather spiritual energy. Cultivating under it will yield twice the results with half the effort. I didn't think that she would casually plant it in her courtyard. "
"And that, the one in the lotus pond seems to be the Nine Seeds Lotus! It's said that the heart of the Nine Seeds Lotus can turn a good-for-nothing with broken meridians into a genius in an instant! She actually has such a legendary item here? "
"What's the status of the governor of Black Rock City? Why is her courtyard filled with rare treasures?"
The crowd could not help but gasp as they secretly tried to guess Gu Ruoyun's identity.
In the entire Banished Lands, there was probably no one else who could afford to spend so much money.
Even the number one family in the Banished Lands, the Ye family, did not have this kind of power!
"Everyone, please come in first. Our governor has not arrived yet."
Master Murong smiled as he received the guests. When he saw the expressions on their faces, he could not help but smile complacently.
The Lord Governor had planned to do this for the sake of deterrence!
Without deterrence, who knows how these organizations would bully Black Rock City after she leaves?
"Alright, let's go in and have a cup of tea."
The old man who had spoken took a deep breath. I should really go in and have a cup of tea to calm my nerves.
This was simply too frightening. Could it be that there is an even more powerful organization in this world aside from the Ye family? Otherwise, how could a young lady have managed to subjugate the entire Black Rock City?
Besides, if she had not come from such an organization, she would never have been able to obtain so many rare treasures.
They felt very afraid at the thought of this. They had initially wanted to show their might to the new governor but now, they had all been frightened by a twenty-year-old girl.
"Let's go."
Master Murong smiled complacently and led the guests into the banquet hall.
Once they had all taken their seats, Master Murong clapped his hands. Instantly, the maidservants walked in leisurely and poured everyone a small cup of tea.
Looking at the small and exquisite cup, everyone's expressions turned ugly.
"Hehe, Black Rock City is far too stingy. So many of us have travelled such a long way to get here and you're only giving us such a small cup of tea? It's fine if you don't have any delicacies, but why don't you change to a bigger cup? Such a small cup probably won't even have a mouthful. "
A middle-aged man sitting below put down his cup angrily and said in a sarcastic tone.
The governor's palace of Black Rock City was looking down on them! Such a small cup of tea was obviously an insult to them.
Master Murong swept his gaze across the middle-aged man who had spoken and chuckled, "Governor of Heavenly Wing City, please finish this cup of tea first before we talk about Black Rock City's hospitality."
"Humph."
The governor of Heavenly Wing City scoffed coldly, picked up the cup and downed it in one gulp. He was just about to speak when he suddenly went into a daze. A sense of astonishment and disbelief appeared on his face.
In that moment, he actually felt the spiritual energy in his body increase.
Even though to a Martial Honor like him, the increase in spiritual energy was like a drop of water being poured into a lake, even a drop of water was something to be excited about in a lake that had not seen any increase in water level for a very long time.
