Gathering at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant
Hearing Chu Xingyun's confident words, everyone was stunned.
The banquet at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was obviously a scheme set up by Qin Tianfeng and the others. They wanted to instigate others to join forces to resist the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
Facing such a crisis, Chu Xingyun said it so casually and even threatened to set Qin Tianfeng and the others up. This was too much. After all, the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce's foundation was not even comparable to an ordinary chamber of commerce.
"Chu Hu, come here," Chu Xingyun asked Chu Hu to come over, tilted his head, and whispered in Chu Hu's ear.
Chu Hu's expression was strange, and he said unconfidently, "Young Master, is that all?"
Chu Xingyun said mysteriously, "Don't ask too much about the details. You must bring this to the Tribunal Council."
"Okay." Chu Hu did not ask too much and turned to leave the courtyard.
Looking at Chu Hu's back, Chu Xingyun laughed softly. When he raised his head, he found that everyone was staring at him with their eyebrows slightly furrowed. Obviously, they were full of doubts.
Chu Xingyun laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? There are no words on my face. The banquet will be held tomorrow night. Go and prepare. No matter what, this is the first time the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce has made an appearance. Don't make a fool of yourself."
After saying that, Chu Xingyun directly stepped into the secret cultivation room. His words echoed in everyone's minds, making them even more confused. Even Lin Tianchong was no exception. He was curious about Chu Xingyun's wishful thinking.
…
Time flew by quickly. Soon, the day of the banquet at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant finally arrived.
As soon as the sun rose, many cultivators gathered outside the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. They had arrived early and were looking for the best seats to watch the show tonight.
"Do you think the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce will attend this banquet?"
"This banquet is organized by the four great clans. Almost all the leaders of the chambers of commerce in the imperial city have been invited. If the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce shows up, they will probably be swallowed whole."
"The Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce will find it hard to protect themselves. Even if they can survive, they will be exploited by the Four Great Clans. They probably won't come to this banquet."
The crowd discussed loudly and looked around from time to time to see if there was any trace of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, they were also observing the actions of the other chambers of commerce, as if they were waiting for a good show.
When the sun set and the sky darkened, the lights of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant were lit. Bright moonlight poured down. Coupled with the fervent gazes of countless cultivators, the entire Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant appeared exceptionally bright and lively.
Many people had already gathered in the building.
Just as the crowd had said, the people who attended this banquet were all influential figures in the Imperial City. Almost all the leaders of the Chambers of Commerce were invited to attend. Each and every one of them sat upright and waited, their gazes filled with deep meaning.
Qin Tianfeng and the others had already arrived. They held good wine in their hands and chatted with the people around them. However, their eyes were fixed on the door. Everyone knew what they were thinking.
The night gradually deepened.
Everyone who had been invited came to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. Outside the restaurant, countless cultivators had gathered. However, at this moment, the fervent gazes in their eyes were no longer there. They had started to become a little irritated.
Not only them, but the atmosphere in the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant had also become a little strange.
"It seems that the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce doesn't have the guts to attend." Luo Chuanfeng looked at the sky and said suddenly. Everyone's expression darkened and they nodded unconsciously.
This banquet in the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was meant to target the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. It was not surprising that the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce had refused to attend. If they had suddenly appeared, it would have been surprising.
"Since the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce is not willing to attend, then so be it. Let's get ready." Qin Tianfeng cleared his throat, making everyone look at him. He opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a loud and clear voice sounded, "Wait!"
The crowd was startled and immediately shifted their gazes. When they saw the person who spoke, their pupils abruptly constricted and they stopped talking.
There were two figures standing there, one long and one young.
The elder was wearing a purple-gold long robe. His facial features were dignified and there was a calm aura in his movements.
The young one was wearing a beautiful red long dress. Her figure was graceful and she gave people a feeling of amazement.
These two people were Qin Tianyu and Qin Yuyan.
The two of them stood side by side and stepped into the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant under the shocked gazes of the crowd. They held their heads high and there was no trace of their previous weak state.
"You … Why are you here?" Qin Tianfeng felt his mind explode. What was wrong with Qin Tianyu in front of him? He was full of vitality and there was no sign of him being poisoned.
"Are you surprised to see me?"
Qin Tianyu's expression was cold. He said, "Do you think that I should lie on the sickbed and wait for death to come and then hand over the Qin Clan's hundred years of heritage to you?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, the crowd's hearts trembled.
Back then, Qin Tianyu was seriously ill and was unable to take charge of the Qin Clan. Therefore, there was Qin Tianfeng today. If they connected it to the scene in front of them, it was not difficult for the crowd to guess the inside story.
Feeling the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Qin Tianfeng's expression was somewhat uncomfortable. He said in a cold voice, "Our Qin Clan's family matters can be discussed slowly when we go back. Tonight is a special time. I hope that you can consider the overall situation."
"What do you mean by this?" Qin Tianyu raised his brows and said in a mocking tone, "It was clearly you who invited me here. Now, why do you want me to leave?"
"I invited you here?" Qin Tianfeng was stunned. He looked at Luo Chuanfeng and the rest and found that they were also confused. They had no idea when they invited Qin Tianyu.
The corners of Qin Tianyu's mouth curled up. With a mocking expression, he said word by word, "Above the clouds, rise in the sky!"
"Above the clouds, rise … You, you are from the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce?" Qin Tianfeng's jaw almost fell to the ground as he said in a stutter.
As soon as the words came out, the entire Heavenly Fragrance House, both inside and outside, was speechless.
The person behind the mysterious Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce was actually Qin Tianyu!
"No wonder the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce knows everyone like the back of their hand. It turns out that Qin Tianyu is behind the scenes."
"Qin Tianfeng secretly controlled the Qin Clan and forced Qin Tianyu to leave the Qin Residence. The Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce also suddenly appeared at that time. Such an outcome is really unexpected."
"A Qin Clan and two large chambers of commerce. They will definitely fight for power!"
The crowd started discussing again. When the voices reached Qin Tianfeng's ears, his eyes became even colder. He never expected that Qin Tianyu, whom he regarded as a useless person who was about to die, was actually the person behind the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
Just as the crowd was discussing heatedly, Qin Tianyu suddenly waved his hand and said with a smile, "You have misunderstood. I, Qin Tianyu, am just a small character. How can I control the entire Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce? I am only here to accompany you."
After saying that, Qin Tianyu turned sideways and looked behind him respectfully.
The crowd was stunned and immediately looked in the direction of Qin Tianyu. They saw a figure slowly walking out from the hazy moonlight.
