"I have to inform my family about the invitation from the Cui Family of Pinjin." Mengqi did not pay much attention to the opinions of his family. He just wanted to make it clear. If the Cui Family had evil intentions, they would restrain themselves. As a top aristocratic family, they would not lose face.
Cui Zhe kept smiling as if he could not see Mengqi's intention, "It should be so."
After informing Su Li and Su Yue, Mengqi boarded the carriage with Cui Zhe.
As soon as he sat down, he heard a voice, "I haven't seen you for more than a year. Ziyuan, you have made great progress. Cough, it's impressive."
The familiar cough and the familiar smile made Mengqi's eyes twitch and he looked at the corner of the carriage.
Wang Siyuan?
Before he came in, he had sensed the situation inside with the help of the Oneness of Heaven and Men. He could not say that he could see everything, but the layout and breath were clearly shown. But there was no Wang Siyuan at all!
The carriage was covered with carpets and cushioned with brocade. It was comfortable and spacious without too many gorgeous decorations.
In front of Meng Qi on the left, Wang Siyuan was sitting behind the table with the Sword of Deliberation in front of him. He was dressed in thin white clothes and was as handsome as a girl. However, he still looked sick. He coughed a lot when he spoke and his face was pale.
Did he see through my actual realm? Mengqi restrained his surprise and smiled, "I didn't expect that Master Wang also came to the capital with a low profile."
Wang Siyuan looked at Cui Zhe and said with a faint smile, "I had a sudden impulse to watch the stars at night and saw the Emperor Star swaying. I was curious and came to Luoyang to have a look."
After that, he coughed violently.
This time, there was no maid to massage his back. He coughed for a long time, but there was only a trace of blood.
"The Emperor Star swaying …" Mengqi frowned and repeated. Unfortunately, Grand Wang Trickster kept silent and said no more.
The three of them had their own thoughts. The carriage slowly drove through the outer city and into the inner city. They arrived at the Mansion of Marquis of Pinjin and met the elder mentioned by Cui Zhe.
He looked like a middle-aged man with a short beard. He wore a wide robe with big sleeves and a tall hat. He had an elegant temperament and his hands were tucked into his sleeves, adding a sense of casualness. The most eye-catching thing about him was his two broken eyebrows. As for his strength, it was so vast that it was impossible to see through him.
"Third Uncle, Zi Yuan is here." Cui Zhe wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed, letting Mengqi know the identity of the person sitting at the head of the table.
Cui Qingyu, the Third Master of the Cui Family!
He and Cui Qinghe were the rare example of brothers who were both powerful. One was at the peak of the Exterior, the other was a Dharmakaya. Together, they had brought the Cui family to unprecedented prosperity.
Cui Qingyu smiled kindly. "I took the liberty to invite you. Please don't take offense."
"Why do you say that, Senior? If there's anything I can do to help, it would be my honor. "Mengqi followed suit and bowed.
Cui Qingyu nodded. "Nephew, you must be wondering why the Saint Emperor's Token involves our Cui family."
He spoke frankly without any concealment. It seemed that the Cui family was not trying to usurp the throne as Mengqi had guessed.
"I'd like to hear the details." Mengqi said with a straight face.
Cui Qingyu stretched out his hands and touched the long sword on his knees. "The Cui family has always been enemies with the Nine Evil Paths. Therefore, a disciple changed his identity and became a Cultivator of the Luo Denomination after going through hardships. A few months ago, he suddenly contacted the secret agent of the Cui family in the South Province and said that the Luo Denomination had a big plan. He had stolen the key item and asked for help."
"Because of the crisis and the urgency of the matter, the message he sent was vague. Our Cui family is weak in the South Province, so we couldn't respond in time. When the masters of our family arrived, he was already dead in the river."
"Later, we received a secret letter from the chief of detectives of the Escort Agency of Central Province. Only then did we know that he used himself as bait to lure the Luo Denomination away and entrusted the key item to Luoyang through the Escort Agency of Central Province."
Mengqi nodded slightly. He had always wondered why the Escort Agency of Central Province was involved. However, the Cui family's disciples were also alert. They didn't let the Escort Agency of Central Province directly send the item to Pingjin in Di Province. Instead, they let them pretend to return to Luoyang. Otherwise, the Luo Denomination and the Destruction Sect would have found out long ago.
Cui Qingyu sighed. "At that time, he was afraid that the Luo Denomination would find out, so he entrusted the escort with a lot of twists and turns. Therefore, the chief of detectives of the Escort Agency of Central Province didn't know what the Luo Denomination and the Destruction Sect were planning. He only knew that it was of great importance and related to the Cui family, so he accepted the escort. Until last night, when we got the news from the Six Fan School that the escort was half of the Saint Emperor's Token, we were no longer confused."
"Because we didn't know before, we were suspicious and hid ourselves. We even asked Wenxian to help us follow them. We made a fool of ourselves."
Seeing that Cui Qingyu had clearly explained the ins and outs of the matter, Mengqi was relieved. This matter really involved a lot of people.
"It must be of great importance to make a disciple of the Cui family expose his identity. Please tell me the details of last night's battle." Cui Qingyu was not arrogant.
Mengqi didn't need to hide anything, so he told him the whole story of last night's battle.
Cui Qingyu touched the short beard under his chin and listened very carefully. In the end, he said, "There are not many people who can use the Saint Emperor's Token. It's possible that there are accomplices in the Six Fan School …"
"How sharp …" Mengqi secretly praised.
After a few words, Cui Qingyu wanted to make arrangements, so he served tea and sent the guest off.
Wang Siyuan stayed in the Cui Mansion, while Cui Zhe personally sent Mengqi back.
The carriage drove slowly on the long street. Cui Zhe chatted with Mengqi from time to time. They talked about their travels, exchanged martial arts experiences, and introduced the customs of Luoyang.
Just as Cui Zhe was pointing at a century-old bakery, Mengqi glanced at a person out of the corner of his eye. It was Qi Zhengyan, who was dressed in a plain green robe and had an ordinary face.
He walked cautiously, hiding behind passers-by from time to time. He seemed to be following someone.
But then he stopped and frowned, as if he had lost his target.
Mengqi was curious. He cupped his hands to Cui Zhe and said, "Brother Cui, please don't send me off. I met an old friend, so I'll go down to catch up."
Cui Zhe returned the courtesy. "See you at the Sumptuous Fruits Banquet."
His eyes were full of fighting spirit. He didn't dare to challenge Mengqi just because he had killed Wolf King.
"Okay!" Mengqi jumped off the carriage and walked towards Qi Zhengyan.
He had planned to prank Qi Zhengyan by patting him on the shoulder to scare him. But when he was still a few steps away, Qi Zhengyan looked over and sensed something.
The Book of the Chaos had reached the Heaven-man Connection stage and had such a keen spiritual sense … Mengqi was secretly surprised. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother Qi, how come you're in the mood to go shopping?"
From Ruan Yushu, Mengqi knew that Zhao Heng had used the Gongsun family, which he was secretly on good terms with, to help Qi Zhengyan sneak into the Sumptuous Fruits Banquet.
Qi Zhengyan's brows didn't relax. "Let's walk and talk."
Mengqi understood what he meant, so he invited him to a nearby restaurant.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, everyone's eyes focused on Mengqi. His iconic long saber, his outstanding appearance, and his masculine and heroic temperament all showed his identity!
"Killing Blade!"
"First on the Ranking List of Young Masters?"
"The Killing Blade who killed Wolf King!"
The exclamations were endless. Some people even stood up to greet Mengqi when he passed by, satisfying Mengqi's desire to show his divinity in front of the public. They pretended to be reserved and nodded in greeting.
On the second floor, the two asked for a quiet private room.
"I met someone on my way back from the Gongsun family's banquet." Even though both Mengqi and he had checked their surroundings and released their Will-projecting to prevent prying eyes, Qi Zhengyan still chose to use Secret Voice-sending.
"Who?" Mengqi knew that Qi Zhengyan never joked. There must be a reason for him to pay so much attention.
Qi Zhengyan pondered for a while and said, "When I was traveling in Jianghu, I had some adventures. When I fought with the Blessing-endowed Heavenly Official of the Myths, I got a glimpse of the 'truth' under his disguise. Just now, I met someone who I vaguely felt familiar and suspected to be the Blessing-endowed Heavenly Official."
Mengqi had long known that the Myths were here, but how rare was the opportunity to lock onto a certain member?
Therefore, he said seriously, "You lost him? What's his appearance? "
"He was an experienced Half-step Exterior Scenery master more than a year ago. I'm afraid he's not far from the Exterior now. That's why he noticed something and disappeared through the crossroads." Qi Zhengyan told him what had happened just now. "He's in his thirties, has ordinary features, is short and fat, and has a black mole under his right eyebrow."
Mengqi gently nodded. "I'll ask someone trustworthy to help. You can also ask Zhao Laowu to search in secret."
At present, there might be a member of the Myths hiding in the Six Fan School. Therefore, Mengqi only planned to ask the Blood Teeth Arrester Yuan Lihuo, or Primogenitor Guangcheng for help.
The two chatted for a while and left the private room. Before they went downstairs, they met someone coming up. He was handsome with a slightly hooked chin and a calm temperament. There was a silver badge on his waist. It was Fan Changmiao, the Martial Arts Champion of last year!
Mengqi had met him before. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence to meet you, Brother Zhuangyuan."
He didn't know about the rumors in Luoyang and didn't mean anything. It was purely a joke. However, the people around him had already recognized him from his appearance and appearance. They all laughed when they heard it.
Wasn't it a naked humiliation for Killing Blade to call Fan Changmiao Brother Zhuangyuan?
They suddenly became excited and hoped to see a battle of the Ranking List of Young Masters!
Fan Changmiao said calmly, "I've arranged to meet someone here."
The skill he practiced seemed to be of a high level. Even with Mengqi's Oneness of Heaven and Men realm, he couldn't see through it. He could only roughly determine that it was the Heaven-man Connection, so he didn't look down on him.
Mengqi was about to exchange greetings when someone came out of another private room and said, "Changmiao, over here."
The man was tall and looked mighty, but he had a calm temperament. Even with a full beard, he didn't look reckless. As for his strength, Mengqi couldn't see through it, but he was sure it was at the level of the Exterior.
Fan Changmiao smiled and introduced, "This is the Master of the Gu family in Ning Province, my uncle."
Even though he had never left the Central Province, the elders always had friends in other places.
They weren't familiar with each other, so Mengqi was about to leave after greeting him. At this time, Fan Changmiao said calmly, "Young Master Su, please give me some pointers at the Sumptuous Fruits Banquet."
There were whispers of excitement around them. There was a show to watch. The Sumptuous Fruits Banquet was really worth looking forward to!
Even though he felt that Fan Changmiao wasn't an arrogant and reckless person, Mengqi was still confident. He laughed and said, "That's my wish. I wouldn't dare to invite you."
A few days later, Progenitor Doumu finished healing and left quietly. Primogenitor Guangcheng secretly searched for Gu Xiaosang and Blessing-endowed Heavenly Official. Mengqi cultivated and waited for the Sumptuous Fruits Banquet.
Unknowingly, August came and the Sumptuous Fruits Banquet began.
