Wei Wang was chatting and laughing with everyone. From time to time, he would talk about some interesting things, causing the crowd to burst into laughter.
No wonder this Wei Wang's reputation was so good in front of everyone. His act of lowering himself naturally added another point.
The atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more intense. If there were too many people, the prince would have to call for a group of dancers to liven things up.
When the banquet was about halfway through, a young man in white robes walked in. He looked cultured and refined, but his face was slightly pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
With a smile on his face, he elegantly walked to the center of the hall and called out to the prince.
"Father, this child is late, please blame me."
Every action of his was refined, causing the eyes of the few girls in the hall to light up. Their eyes unknowingly started to sparkle.
"You came at the right time. Come and greet these uncles. When you were sick, they did not stop worrying about you. You have to thank them." The prince said happily when he saw Huang Er walk in.
"Greetings, uncles. Thank you for your concern. Earlier, I was outside receiving those people on behalf of my father, so I came late. Please forgive my rudeness."
"Little prince is too polite. I just said that your body hasn't fully recovered yet. How can you put in so much effort? You should rest more." Divine Doctor Xia happened to be sitting at the end of the hall and couldn't help but laugh.
"Not at all. Uncle Xia, master gave me a peace of mind pill. As long as I don't do any strenuous activities, there won't be any problems." The little prince said politely.
"Let me introduce you to the others. They are all the elites of your uncle's family. Their future is limitless. You have to get along well with them in the future. There are even your junior brothers." The prince chuckled. He then walked down and pulled the little prince to another table.
He introduced them one by one. The little prince had a warm smile on his face as he greeted them one by one. His behavior was very appropriate.
"This is your master, an immortal master just accepted a disciple. Don't bully him in the future." The prince introduced the second immortal master's disciple last and joked.
"Greetings, little prince." That person looked at the little prince for a long time before he squeezed out this sentence.
"Wei Wang, little prince, my son is simple and honest. He doesn't know how to speak. Please forgive him." His father saw this scene and quickly came over with a smile.
"Hehe, it's fine. I didn't enter the sect a few days more than this junior brother. In the future, we can improve together." The little prince said with a smile.
The prince introduced them to Gu Zheng to the table, to the end.
But he didn't introduce Luo to the little prince..... only to the little prince............
"There are only three people left. Guess which one is your last Junior Brother."
.................... and then to the little prince......................................
As for the last two people, the little prince's gaze swept back and forth between Luo Wei and Luo Wei. He was silent for a while, unsure of what to make of this.
Gu Zheng and Luo Wei looked at him. Their expressions and clothes were similar. There wasn't much difference between them.
"I'm guessing it's this brother." The little prince didn't think too much and directly said to Gu Zheng.
"Haha, looks like you guessed wrong, Huang 'er. This is a close relative of your Uncle Xu's, Gu Zheng. The one next to him is. The Luo family's young master, Luo Wei. You should have heard of him before. "The prince was inexplicably happy.
"Hehe, looks like I guessed wrong. This brother Gu looks even more talented." The little prince first praised Gu Zheng, then started chatting with Luo Wei.
Gu Zheng nodded calmly, but his heart was in turmoil. He didn't listen to what Luo Wei and Luo Wei were talking about. Because when Luo Wei greeted him, he felt a trace of demon aura from him.
He definitely didn't see wrong. Although it was hidden very well and disappeared in a flash, he still noticed it.
'I didn't think that even King Wei's youngest son would be turned by the enemy. This is going to be difficult.' Gu Zheng thought to himself. Maybe there was something else going on with his illness. It was just that the immortal master had messed up his plans and couldn't care less about Ye Jia's betrayal.
But even if Gu Zheng told anyone about this, no one would believe him.
He watched as the little prince left with King Wei and sat down on the main seat, chatting with the others. He had no idea what Gu Zheng was thinking.
"Young Master Gu? Young Master Gu? "
Just as Gu Zheng was in a daze, a series of questions came from the side. Gu Zheng turned around and saw that Luo Wei had called him several times.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Zheng asked doubtfully. He didn't understand why he was being called.
"I've been calling you for a long time, but you didn't respond. What are you thinking about? Right, I want to tell you something. " Luo Wei looked at the little prince suspiciously. He could feel that the little prince was paying attention to him, although he wasn't looking at him.
"What is it? Speak," Gu Zheng said indifferently. He casually picked up the food in front of him and slowly tasted it.
"I like your sister. I want to marry her, Shuang 'er." Luo Wei looked at Gu Zheng and held back for a long time before finally saying this. Originally, he didn't have the courage because he felt that Shuang 'er was so strong. He felt that he wasn't good enough for her. But now that he had an immortal master as his master, he felt that he had the qualifications.
Gu Zheng's hand stopped in mid-air. But then, he casually picked up the food in front of him. To be honest, the taste was quite good.
"I know. Miss Shuang 'er is very strong. I'm now learning from an immortal master. It won't be long. Although I won't be as strong as Shuang' er, I believe that I can catch up to her," Luo Wei quickly said when he saw that Gu Zheng wasn't speaking.
"I didn't say I was against it. As long as Shuang 'er doesn't object, I won't stop her from choosing. So, it's useless for you to tell me," Gu Zheng said expressionlessly.
"Really? Thank you, Young Master Gu. I know that I didn't have a good reputation in the past, but I will definitely turn over a new leaf and treat Shuang 'er well, "Luo Wei said excitedly as if he had already married Shuang' er.
Gu Zheng looked at him speechlessly and didn't say anything. He had inquired about him and found that his status was quite high. Unfortunately, it was useless. However, other than being a bit of a playboy, he didn't seem to have any bad reputation.
But if he really did follow an immortal master, then there was a high chance that he would meet with trouble halfway and die an unnatural death.
Gu Zheng also knew that there was a problem with the housekeeper. When the immortal master was resting, Gu Zheng found that there was a faint aura in the housekeeper's body after he drank the tea. He had been marked. And he didn't even notice.
By the time he left Feng City, he would've been ambushed halfway and died an unnatural death. How could the Goblin let a small fry who ruined their plans escape?
"Sigh, looks like I'll have to work hard again," Gu Zheng glanced at the overjoyed Luo Wei and sighed.
The banquet lasted for a full two hours before it ended.
The guests who had enjoyed themselves to their heart's content bid farewell to King Wei and his son.
King Wei, on the other hand, brought the little prince and sent them off one by one at the door. At this time, the other guests had already left, leaving only this group of people.
"Master Xu, do you know the identity of the grandfather and grandson sitting opposite you?" In the carriage, Gu Zheng chose to sit with Xu Jing this time. Not long after the carriage set off, Gu Zheng suddenly asked.
"Grandfather and grandson? Oh, you're talking about Daoist Yu. He's the master of a dojo in Feng City, but he seems to have something to do and needs to leave this place. As for the young man beside him, this is the first time I've seen him. He should be his grandson. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought him with him. His dojo has already been taken over by someone else some time ago. This time, he took the opportunity to bid farewell to King Wei. After all, King Wei helped him solve a very troublesome problem. "
Master Xu saw that Gu Zheng was speaking so politely, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly recalled who was sitting opposite him and said.
"What's wrong? Does he have the information you want? "
"Yes, almost. But I need to ask again. Master Xu, you can leave first. I'll go back by myself later. Also, help me say hello to my sister. I have something to do, so I might not be able to go back today," Gu Zheng said to Master Xu after pondering for a moment.
However, before Master Xu could say anything, Gu Zheng's figure turned and disappeared from his sight. Master Xu was stunned and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he thought for a moment and said to the carriage outside, "Wait for a moment. Stop there. I have something to discuss."
He did this to cover Gu Zheng's whereabouts, but he didn't know that Gu Zheng didn't care at all.
"Yes, Master."
The group gradually moved away and soon left the area. Luo Wei was still dealing with the Xu family's disciples. He didn't even notice that Gu Zheng wasn't in the carriage at all.
At this time, it was already late at night. The ground was somewhat bright under the faint moonlight. The back door of the King's Mansion was located in a small alley. It was very spacious, and there were even rows of trees on both sides. It was like a street.
At this time, Gu Zheng was standing under a tree. His entire body was hidden in the shadows of the trees, making it difficult to see his figure.
At this time, the grandfather and grandson pair still hadn't arrived. However, Gu Zheng wasn't afraid that they wouldn't come. He quietly waited for them.
After a short while, Gu Zheng sensed two people tiptoeing over from the other side. Gu Zheng focused his eyes and saw that it was the grandfather and grandson pair.
The two of them were somewhat timid. They kept looking left and right, trying to find Gu Zheng's position.
"Grandpa, is he purposely trying to scare you? He didn't come at all?" When they reached the side of the King's Mansion's entrance, the two stood under the moonlight. The young girl was still dressed like before. She looked around and whispered.
"How could that be? Don't think of letting us sneak away. Otherwise, when the senior finds out, we'll be dead." The old man also whispered, afraid that he would attract the attention of others.
"Fine, we'll wait for him a little longer. Really, are all immortals so petty?" The young girl said unhappily. She looked at her grandfather with a stern gaze and quickly stuck out her tongue.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."
It seemed that she had gotten over the initial fear. Although there was still some fear on her face, she was more curious.
"Sigh, we'll just take one step at a time. I hope it's not that bad." The old man seemed to have realized something. His face also calmed down.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he didn't let the other party wait any longer. He directly walked out from the shadow of the tree and went straight to the other party.
"Junior Yu Zhen, thank senior for being merciful in the mansion." Before Gu Zheng approached, the old man directly bowed to Gu Zheng and said respectfully. His attitude was very humble.
He clearly looked around before and didn't find the other party at all. This also confirmed his previous guess. He didn't care that he was much older than the other party and directly regarded himself as a junior.
Gu Zheng didn't dodge at all. Logically speaking, whether it was in terms of cultivation or age, he definitely left the other party in the dust. Even if he went through countless Feng Cities, he still wouldn't be able to see his shadow.
"Who are you? State your name." Gu Zheng said indifferently. At the same time, his eyes were constantly looking at the young girl beside him.
This made the young girl want to roll her eyes and curse him in her heart.
"Junior is from Fengshan County, a subordinate of the Qi Kingdom. But right now, there are only the two of us." Yu Zhen didn't know why the other party wanted to know his background, but he still nervously told him where he came from.
"Is that so? How come I haven't heard of it? Did you already think of a fake place and purposely lied to me? "Gu Zheng looked over and said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Absolutely not. We're just a small family. It's normal that you haven't heard of us. We definitely wouldn't dare to lie to senior." Yu Zhen's face changed and quickly explained.
"Is that so? But why do I feel like you're not telling the truth? " Gu Zheng suddenly turned his head and shouted at the young girl beside him. He had set up a barrier nearby, so no one would hear or see them.
"Yes!" The young girl subconsciously replied, but immediately realized that something was wrong. She blushed and explained, "I'm saying that my grandfather is right. Please don't misunderstand."
Looking at his granddaughter's reaction, Yu Zhen wanted to cover his old face. He could only weakly say, "Young master, I don't know what you want. Our small family doesn't seem to have anything worth thinking about."
He was indirectly admitting that he had lied just now.
The young girl also knew that she had made a mistake. Before they came, her grandfather had carefully told her not to speak carelessly. But who would have thought that the other party would be so cunning? At this moment, the young girl lowered her head with a wronged expression.
"You lied to me just now. How do you think I'll punish you?" Gu Zheng said. The young girl subconsciously put her hand on her waist, as if she would take out her weapon in the next moment.
"I know I lied to senior. I'm sorry." Yu Zhen took a deep breath, "But I'm not lying. Our family only has the two of us left. Moreover, our family property has already been sold for more than ten years. All these years, I've been raising my granddaughter here. I haven't gone out at all. You can ask anyone and you'll know. If Senior blames me, I only ask that you let my granddaughter go.
At the end, Yu Zhen's tone became somewhat desolate. When the young girl heard this, her eyes were filled with tears. She said angrily.
"Grandfather, don't be afraid. If he really dares to do it, I'll fight it out with him. He won't be any better."
Gu Zheng looked at the two of them. One had a pitiful face, the other pretended to be fierce, but her eyes were constantly moving. She looked at Gu Zheng with a cunning gaze. She even took out a small dagger that looked like a hidden weapon. Her eyes looked like she was going to fight if there was any disagreement.
Even though Yu Zhen spoke pitifully and sorrowfully, as if he was willing to be punished, his body was ready to move. There was no need to mention the intention of surrendering in his eyes. If Gu Zheng really wanted to punish him, perhaps he would immediately run away.
For this, Gu Zheng was very experienced. With a wave of his hand, a slightly transparent light curtain directly rose and enveloped the two of them. He crossed his arms and looked at the other party.
The young girl's eyes lit up with envy, but she still pretended to be fierce and said, "What are you doing? Are you going to silence us?"
At the same time, the hidden weapon in her hand slashed to the side, wanting to break the shield that surrounded them.
But when the hidden weapon touched the shield, it flashed and the dagger in her hand silently turned into powder. She was so scared that she took a step back. She didn't dare to use her hand to break it.
The old man still didn't move. He still looked at Gu Zheng with a sad and sad expression, as if he was being bullied.
However, Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He just stared at them. It was just a competition of patience. Gu Zheng felt that he could stand for three to five years, but the old man probably wouldn't be able to stand in three to five days.
Just like this, the two groups of people were in a deadlock. But as time passed,
Yu Zhen looked at Gu Zheng's still calm face and finally put away his sad and peaceful expression. The young girl also put away the dagger that she took out again and stood beside her grandfather.
"Senior, what do you want to do? If you want to kill us, just say it." Yu Zhen put away the expression on his face and said with a helpless expression.
"That's right. You forced us to come here. What do you want? What are you thinking? " The young girl said aggressively. She didn't care about the look her grandfather gave her to stop. She jumped to the front and said with grievance, as if she was standing on the upper hand.
Yu Zhen's expression changed. He was really afraid that Gu Zheng would get angry. But when he looked at Gu Zheng, he didn't seem angry. He let out a sigh of relief and wanted to pull his granddaughter back.
However, before they could even touch it, a monstrous aura surged out of Gu Zheng's body and pressed down on the two of them. The two of them took a few steps back and crashed into the barrier behind them.
Their faces were pale. Only now did they feel how strong Gu Zheng's aura was. They still wanted to play tricks in front of him.
The young girl looked at her grandfather in panic. The previous series of performances were actually discussed before. They just wanted to see what the other party wanted. But the other party didn't want to play tricks with them.
And the aura of an immortal was so terrifying. It was far from what they could imagine. The little tricks they had when they saw the immortal master fight were completely gone.
For a moment, the two of them were disheartened.
