The banquet in each courtyard only ended late at night. Fortunately, these guest courtyards were far from the Cheng Family's disciples' residences, so no matter how lively it was, it wouldn't affect the rest of the Cheng Family's disciples.
However, when everyone had started to rest, a few people left a guest courtyard in Cloud Bamboo Peak together.
"Brother Tao, it's already so late now. Isn't it inappropriate for us to come out for a stroll? What if the Cheng Family thinks that we're thieves? Wouldn't that be awkward?" One of them looked around. Although it was late at night, the lights in the Cheng Family's residence were still on.
Even so, everyone was already resting at this time. Yet, they still came out for a stroll. It was indeed easy to be criticized!
"Brother Li, what are you talking about? We're not out to do anything bad. As the saying goes, an upright person isn't afraid of a crooked shadow.
Moreover, the Cheng Family didn't say that we can't come out to look at the moon at night, nor did they restrict our freedom. What do we have to worry about?
Moreover, those forbidden areas of the Cheng Family are guarded. Even if we want to go, there will be people stopping us.
So, there's nothing for us to worry about! "Tao Wensheng said nonchalantly.
"But … Even so, it's already so late and we've already drunk so much. Why don't we call it off tonight and arrange another time?
Moreover, I'm afraid Brother Yin and the rest have already forgotten about our agreement during the day, right? "The other person, Guo Feiyu, suggested.
It turned out that they had made some new friends during the day and had arranged to drink and admire the moon at night.
However, they didn't know that the Cheng Family would prepare so many delicacies and wine for them. As a result, they forgot about their agreement during the day.
Now that they thought about it, they felt that it was already too late and they must have missed the appointment.
"To us cultivators, this little bit of time is nothing. Most importantly, we've already promised them.
What if they still remember the agreement and are still waiting there? These people are people that are hard to befriend. If we don't go today, won't we offend them?
If we offend them, wouldn't we be making trouble for ourselves if we were to encounter them on missions in the future? "Tao Wensheng saw that the two of them were unwilling to go, so he rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to scare them.
"That's true. Brother Yin and the others were invited to Cloud Shou Peak. Moreover, their contribution points are in the top hundred. If we can befriend them, it will be of great help to us when we complete missions in the future!" Li Yun and Guo Feiyu thought about it and felt that Tao Wensheng's words made sense.
The reason why they wanted to befriend these people was because of their strength.
During the day, he was still trying to get to know so many people who were at the top of the Contribution Ranking. He could not miss this opportunity.
As a rogue cultivator of the Cheng Family who received missions from outside the clan all year round, it was already very good for them to enter the top 10,000 with their contribution points.
However, they knew very well that this year, the Cheng Family's Grand Competition was no longer open to the public. Instead, it was an invitation system.
This meant that the Cheng Family's contribution was becoming more and more valuable. The amount of contribution could even determine their status.
Brother Yin and the others were invited to Cloud Shou Peak and were even personally received by the Cheng Family's Patriarch. Such treatment was absolutely incomparable to them.
Therefore, all of this showed that the Cheng Family's contribution was becoming more and more important. The more contribution they made, the closer their relationship with the Cheng Family would be in the future. They would also be able to obtain more benefits from the Cheng Family.
Since everyone understood this principle, it meant that the possibility of them receiving an invitation to the Cheng Family's Grand Competition was getting lower.
This was because everyone wanted to obtain a large amount of contribution points. The next time they were invited to the Cheng Family's Grand Competition, it was a status and glory.
Once the competition was intense, it would be even more difficult to obtain so many contribution points from the Cheng Family. They would definitely need the help of some experts.
Therefore, they were very happy to get to know Brother Yin and the others during the day. Moreover, these people had also agreed to meet more often in the future. When that time came, it would definitely not be a problem for them to complete missions.
However, if they did not keep the appointment today, it was very likely that they would offend these people.
They originally wanted to befriend them, but in the end, they ended up offending these people. That was really not worth it.
"That's right. At our current level, it's not easy to befriend these people. As long as we are on good terms with them and have their help in the future, wouldn't it be very convenient for us to complete missions in the future? "Tao Wensheng saw that the two seemed to have thought it through and immediately smiled.
"If they are also not here, then we can just come back. It's not a big deal anyway!" Tao Wensheng continued.
"Look, Brother Qiao and the others are here too!" Li Yun nodded and realized that there were a few other people walking towards them.
These people came from a courtyard not far from their courtyard. They were also friends that they had only met in the past two days.
They were also part of the appointment during the day.
"Brother Li, did you just come back from the appointment?" Qiao An and the others saw Li Yun and the others standing outside the courtyard and asked anxiously.
They only remembered that they had a very important appointment during the day after the banquet ended. Immediately, they were shocked, and their slightly tipsy minds immediately sobered up.
They hurriedly called a few of their friends in the courtyard to prepare for the appointment. However, when they walked out of the courtyard, they saw Li Yun and the others and thought that they had already returned from the appointment.
"No, the Cheng Family prepared a banquet for us today. We just ended the banquet!" Li Yun said.
"So you are saying that you are also going to the appointment now?" Qiao An's eyes lit up, and he felt much more balanced.
This was a very important appointment. If they missed it, it would not only be a matter of pity, but they might also offend some people that they could not afford to offend.
Now that they saw that it was not only the few of them, but also their companions, they naturally felt more relaxed.
"That's right, we are also going to the appointment!" Li Yun nodded.
"Thank goodness, I thought we were the only ones who missed the appointment!" Qiao An said, patting his chest.
"Don't worry, the Cheng Clan seems to have prepared a banquet for all of us who are here to watch the battle. So, I believe that most of them have just finished their banquets, so we can rush over now!" Tao Wensheng said with a smile.
"If that's the case, then will they not be going to the appointment? Won't it be useless for us to go? "Qiao An asked doubtfully.
"You can't say that. Since everyone has already made an appointment, even if some people don't go, there will definitely be people who will go.
If we go, it doesn't matter even if they are not there. But if they are waiting there, and we miss it, and offend those that we can't afford to offend, won't we suffer a greater loss? "Tao Wensheng explained.
"That's true. It's their business whether they go or not. If they don't go, they will only suffer losses in the end. It has nothing to do with us. But since we thought of this matter, we should still go and take a look.
If they are really waiting for us there, then we will not be able to justify it.
Even if they are not there, we can explain it to them tomorrow. I believe they will forgive us! "Qiao An said after some thought.
"Don't worry, I saw that those big shots seemed to be very friendly during the day. Not only do we have a banquet, but they also have a banquet, so they will definitely be able to understand us.
If we go now, at least it will show our sincerity. If they are not there, it should not be a problem for us to apologize to them! "A person named Song Quan who came with Qiao An said.
"In that case, let's not talk anymore. Let's go to the appointment. Maybe they just went there!" Tao Wensheng looked at Song Quan and said.
"Then let's go!" Song Quan also looked at Tao Wensheng, understood tacitly, and led everyone to the appointment.
There were a lot of people at this party, and there were a few people from each peak.
They chose to meet at Yunshui Peak because Yunshui Peak was located in the middle.
Originally, the purpose of this gathering was to make friends with the big shots of Yunshou Peak, deepen their relationship, and increase their friendship.
Therefore, they wanted to arrange the party at Yunshou Peak, but this peak was the place where the master of the Cheng Family lived after all. They were afraid that their party would make the Cheng Family unhappy, so they chose Yunshui Peak.
When Tao Wensheng and the others arrived at the designated meeting point, there were indeed a lot of people gathered there.
"Sorry everyone, because of the banquet, I am late, please forgive me!" Tao Wensheng walked up to everyone and apologized.
"Brother Tao, don't be so polite, we just came here after the banquet. There are still many friends who did not come, probably because of the banquet.
But that is not important, it is fate that we can all meet at the Cheng Family, this is just an ordinary gathering.
Also, we will all be staying at the Cheng Family for a long time. Fortunately, the Cheng Family's night is charming, and it will add a lot of color to our party.
If everyone is willing, we can often get together to drink wine and admire the moon, "Yin Tianzong said to everyone with a smile.
"Brother Yin is right, we should cherish our time at the Cheng Family. Because after we leave the Cheng Family, many people will have a lot of things to deal with, and it will be very difficult for everyone to get together like now, "another big shot Xu Shouwang said.
Everyone nodded. That was indeed the case.
Now that everyone was staying at the Cheng Family and could not leave the mountain, everything else was put aside for the time being, and they only cared about enjoying their time at the Cheng Family.
Therefore, this was also the best time for them to build their friendship. In the future, when they left the mountain, everyone would go their separate ways, and it would be very difficult to get everyone together at once!
"To our friendship!" As soon as Xu Shouwang finished speaking, Yin Tianzong was the first to raise his glass.
