A beggar, a monk, an infatuated man, and Xiao Chen.
No matter how one looked at it, this group of people looked strange. However, they just walked into the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.
The guards at the door seemed to have heard the commotion. They took a look but did not do anything.
This made the people watching feel amazed. Since when could beggars strut into the Smiling Daughter Pavilion?
Ling Yu felt somewhat weak. He had been beaten up quite miserably recently. He did not dare to believe that he could really go in.
"Martial Uncle, can we really go in?"
Before Xiao Chen answered, more than one hundred pretty girls walked out of the door.
They stood in a straight line and said in unison, "Welcome, Young Master Xiao, to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion as a guest."
An absolute beauty walked out from behind the row of girls. She wore a green dress and a jade hairpin in her hair. Her facial features were exquisite, and she exuded an extraordinary air.
"Headliner Qiu Yue!"
"Headliner Qiu Yue, what is she doing? Is she going out to personally receive the guests?"
"What a grand line-up. Even if a prince came, he would not be able to do so, right?"
Xiao Chen looked at the green-dressed beauty. The other party walked over gracefully and bowed slightly.
"Young Master Xiao, please come with me. The Pavilion Master has been waiting for a long time already. Please forgive me for not coming out to receive you."
Qiu Yue spoke softly and smiled gently. The surrounding people easily fell head over heels for her, unable to extricate themselves.
"Young Master Xiao, please come with me. The Pavilion Master has been waiting for a long time already. Please forgive me for not coming out to receive you."
Qiu Yue looked around and frowned slightly. A dirty beggar, a wretched hooded man, and a bruised fool.
After a great struggle, Qiu Yue said, "Since you are Young Master Xiao's friends, you are also friends of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion."
After a great struggle, Qiu Yue said, "Since you are Young Master Xiao's friends, you are also friends of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. However, this person cannot enter! "
Headliner Qiu Yue said righteously as she pointed at Ling Yu.
"Why?!"
Ling Yu immediately felt unconvinced. He shouted, "Why can't I enter?!"
Qiu Yue wanted to say something but stopped. It seemed like there was something she was hiding. She sighed softly and said, "I am doing this for your own good. This is not my intention either. It is Sister Linglong's intention."
Ling Yu said somewhat dispiritedly, "I don't believe it. I don't believe that this is Elder Sister Ling Long's intention. Let me meet Ling Long. I want her to tell me personally."
"Let him in."
At this moment, a voice came from inside the building.
Qiu Yue nodded slowly. "Please come in, Young Master Xiao."
After stepping over the threshold, Xiao Chen entered the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. Like the Misty Rain Pavilion, it was a completely different world inside.
From the outside, it looked like a magnificent building, but in reality, it was a small world with mountains, rivers, and vast white clouds.
Above the white clouds, palaces and pavilions could be vaguely seen. It was like a fairyland.
Pavilions stood in great numbers in all four directions, and guests filled the place.
There should have been many esteemed guests gathered in the mountains and rivers, but today, there was only one table.
The other guests could only gather in the pavilion and watch the performance.
With headliner Qiu Yue leading the way, Xiao Chen's group of four walked through the forest and arrived at the banquet in the mountains and rivers.
Along the way, Xiao Chen discovered many experts hidden in the forest.
The banquet was already filled with people. When Xiao Chen looked around, he discovered many familiar faces.
The Association Chiefs of the Heavenly Alliance's ten subordinate merchant associations were all present. However, this was different from the previous time.
This time, they had outsiders accompanying them. If Xiao Chen guessed right, they should be the upper echelon of the dynasties' ancient Noble Clans.
"Lord Xiao."
Wei Fatso and the other two, who had already signed a new contract with Xiao Chen, stood up and saluted Xiao Chen with somewhat embarrassed expressions.
As for the other merchant associations, they only glanced at Xiao Chen and ignored him, showing some hostility in their eyes.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and gestured for the three to take a seat. There was indeed a reason for this banquet.
After Xiao Chen's group of four sat down, a group of people immediately walked over from behind.
The one in the lead was a woman with a veil covering her face. Beside her were three men with dignified appearances, an oppressive noble aura, and a vast imperial aura.
These people were of different ages, but their noble auras and imperial might were exactly the same.
These three people were princes.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, This banquet seems to be much grander than I imagined.
Three princes are here at the same time. All the Noble Clans of the imperial capital are here. What are they doing?
While Xiao Chen felt uncertain, he felt a gaze that did not hide its murderous intent.
Xiao Chen looked in the direction of the gaze. The owner of the gaze stood beside a prince. This person's expression was very similar to Monarch Yu's.
Monarch Yun!
What a fellow! The Smiling Daughter Pavilion gathered all the enemies that I offended.
"Greetings, First Prince, Eighth Prince, Thirteenth Prince, and Pavilion Master Yang!"
The Association Chiefs and Noble Clan Elders at the banquet all stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Everyone, there is no need to be so polite today. This is Pavilion Master Yang's home turf. We are not princes or guests. The true honored guest is the Heavenly Alliance's envoy inspector, Xiao Chen, Lord Xiao!"
The prince close to the veiled woman said with a smile as he pointed at Xiao Chen.
"Haha! First Prince is right. If not for knowing that Young Master Xiao would be coming, this old man would not have come to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion tonight."
The Bountiful Treasure Pavilion's Liu Zhang stood up and echoed the First Prince's words, smiling sinisterly.
"That's right. Young Master Xiao is the honored guest today. Even if all of us add up, we cannot compare to Lord Xiao!"
The Golden Essence Merchant Association's Jin Bao said half-jokingly and half-seriously as he held up his wine cup.
"Martial Uncle … something seems wrong."
Ling Yu sent a voice projection as he looked at the group of ferocious people smiling like hungry wolves at the banquet.
Ling Yu noticed that everyone at the table gave off an extremely strong aura. Sovereign Emperor experts followed them.
When Ling Yu looked around, he noticed that there seemed to be even more experts hidden in the shadows.
Without anyone noticing, they had already blocked off all paths. The seemingly spacious forest garden had actually been sealed into a cage.
The more problematic thing was that aside from Fatso and the other two, everyone else at the table looked at Xiao Chen with superficial smiles. They all put on fake smiles as they stared at Xiao Chen, looking like they had him in the bag. This made him feel flustered.
"Calm down."
Xiao Chen sent a voice projection. Then, he looked at the veiled woman and said, "Pavilion Master Yang is really skillful. This Xiao really did not know that this banquet could bring out so many major characters. I am truly overwhelmed by the favor."
Originally, Xiao Chen thought that only the First Prince would appear.
He had not expected such a scene to appear. Three princes, the ten Association Chiefs, and the representatives of the Noble Clans behind them were all here.
What a Feast at Hongmen! These people have made up their minds to eat me up for sure!
Pavilion Master Yang, who had a veil covering her beautiful face, waved her hand and said, "Young Master Xiao, there's no need to be angry. Please take a seat first."
"Let's talk about business first. I really do not dare to casually sit here."
Xiao Chen said indifferently.
The veiled woman smiled softly and said, "There's no rush. Take a seat first. Today is my Smiling Daughter Pavilion's headliner Ling Long's final performance. If there is anything, wait for headliner Ling Long to finish her performance before we discuss it. "
"Martial Aunt."
When Ling Yu heard the word "Ling Long," he could not hold himself back.
On account of Ling Yu, Xiao Chen sat down with a cold expression. Then, he looked around and smiled coldly in his heart when he saw everyone's expressions.
If you think that you can defeat me, Xiao Chen, with your numbers, then it is too early to be happy.
"Let's see what kind of tricks you guys are playing."
The veiled woman gently clapped her hands. As she clapped, a woman flew down from the palace in the clouds.
She held a pipa as she slowly appeared in the clouds. She was like a fairy that could be seen but not reached.
"The headliner Ling Long is coming out!"
The guests in the private rooms in the surrounding pavilions burst into an uproar. All sorts of cries rang out.
A simple sound test immediately piped up the guests' interest, causing their anticipation to soar.
As the pipa music rang out, the vast white clouds turned into a vast river with the music. A clear moon fell into the lake.
The orioles in the lake spoke in detail. The flowing water of a quiet spring accompanied the moon as it rose.
The bright moon that sank into the river broke out of the water together with the pipa music.
A white-clad fairy danced in the moon while holding a sword. With the beautiful pipa music, everyone could not tell whether they were in a fairyland or reality.
When the quiet spring turned cold, the pipa music gave rise to boundless melancholy.
The bright moon in the sky was like a lonely cage, locking down that beautiful fairy. No matter how the beautiful fairy danced, she could not break out of the moon with her sword in hand.
A stifling mood filled everyone's hearts, making them feel extremely unbearable.
When the stifling mood reached its limits and was about to crumble, the pipa music suddenly sped up. It was like a vast army cutting off all means of retreat, launching a final charge.
"Bang!"
The bright moon in the sky shattered, and the beautiful woman trapped in the cage emerged with her sword. "Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
It was not just one person. More than one hundred white-clad women appeared in the moon, dancing with their swords as they flew down the cloud platform. When they arrived in the surrounding pavilions, they flew up and down, dancing gracefully.
The fairy was instantly within reach. It was like a dream turned into reality.
Everyone's depressed mood was swept away, and thunderous cheers erupted.
After the song ended, Ling Long smiled faintly and bowed slightly, silently taking her leave.
"Headliner Ling Long, don't go!"
"One more song! One more song!"
The Fairy Basket appeared at the right time. Immediately, the honored guests in the private rooms made a move.
Countless Primeval Heavenly Pills turned into jade ribbons that entered the Fairy Basket in the clouds.
Immortal light spread out from the basket, and thousands of flowers flew out. The atmosphere in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion's small world reached its peak.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Today is headliner Ling Long's last performance … In the future, she will not appear in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.
She will not appear in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion in the future, "the headliner Qiu Yue said softly as she slowly appeared in the sea of flowers in the clouds.
After a pause, while everyone was stunned into silence, Qiu Yue said loudly, "The First Prince has already returned the secular world to the First Prince. On the fifteenth of next month, the First Prince will personally win over headliner Ling Long. I hope that at that time, everyone will come and give their best blessings!"
"What?!"
At the banquet, the wine cup in Ling Yu's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Ling Yu appeared confused as if he suffered a bolt from the blue. He appeared stunned on the spot.
