As usual, Zi Yao, who had suddenly become the Pavilion Master of Kuiguang City's Kuiguang Pavilion, had to host a banquet to thank her supporters.
This kind of banquet was usually called a celebration banquet. Of course, other than expressing gratitude and celebrating, it was also used to build a closer relationship with the Kuiguang Pavilion. It was also used to ensure that these people's support for the Kuiguang Pavilion was real and not just lip service!
The celebration banquet organized by Zi Yao and Ling Dong was set to be held on the evening of the 19th of July, the day after Zi Yao became the Pavilion Master of Kuiguang Pavilion.
Many people were invited. The Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, was the first, followed by Mansion Master You and Yuan Chen from the Medicine Master's Residence. Mu Baichen, the representative of the Bright Sword Sect, and more than ten members of the Big Dipper Team from the Kuiguang Alliance were also present.
The lineup was not unprecedented, but it was definitely huge in everyone's eyes. As for the leaders of the other small sects and clans, as well as the leaders of the gangs and societies in Brilliance City, they were all invited.
For this reason, Ling Dong and Zi Yao had already booked another famous restaurant in Brilliance City — Ling Yun Tower! They had booked the entire restaurant for this celebration banquet.
Whether it was Ling Dong or Zi Yao, they believed that everyone who was invited would come. This was because this celebration banquet was a good opportunity to build relationships. For example, the Seventh Prince, You Shansong, and Yuan Chen were the two Mansion Masters. Who could meet them normally?
With such a tone, this celebration banquet became even livelier. People kept toasting each other, and it was unusually lively. As for the Seventh Prince, Mansion Master Yuan, and Mansion Master You, who were invited, they repeatedly expressed their close relationship with Ling Dong and Zi Yao to strengthen the confidence of these people!
This was because the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, understood that these people who were united around Zi Yao and Ling Dong would be a great help to him in his bid for the throne. You Shansong also thought the same. On the other hand, Mansion Master Yuan kept expressing his support for Ling Dong and his disciple's wife.
When Ling Dong and Zi Yao were toasting, Yuan Chen even jokingly asked Ling Dong and Zi Yao's wedding date. Even the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, said that he would personally officiate the wedding ceremony for Ling Dong and Zi Yao. All of this made Ling Dong and Zi Yao's influence in this celebration banquet greatly increased!
Of course, the Seventh Prince, who tried his best to facilitate this, was also a great beneficiary.
As the saying goes, some people rejoiced while others worried. While Ling Ling, the Seventh Prince, the Second Prince, Bi Jing, he was drinking alone.
Coincidentally, the place where Second Prince Bi Jing chose to drink was only one wall away from Ling Yun Tower where Ling Dong and Zi Yao held their celebration party. It was called the Hidden Dragon Abode!
The Second Prince, Bi Jing, liked to drink at the Hidden Dragon Residence. Firstly, he liked the quietness of the Hidden Dragon Residence. Secondly, he liked the name of the Hidden Dragon Residence.
Dragons were the noblest existences in the legends. They symbolized an extremely honorable status. The Hidden Dragon Residence made the Second Prince feel that it suited his current status. Therefore, he often came here to drink!
It was the same today. However, the Second Prince's mood was different from before. In the past, the Second Prince would drink here with an inexplicable sense of excitement and pride. Today, he was completely depressed. Or rather, he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol!
Second Prince Bi Jing's final effort in the auction had ended in failure. Not only that, but he had also thoroughly offended Great Mansion Master Yuan Chenyuan, causing him to lose the support of the Great Mansion Master of the Apothecary Manor, who was also the Great Mansion Master who had the highest chance of becoming a Pill King.
This loss caused him to fall into an extremely disadvantageous position in the battle for the throne! Needless to say, his seventh brother, Bi Ying, had the support of Grand Principal You, the Pavilion Master of Kuixing Pavilion, and even Grand Principal Yuanchen Yuan's support. He could be said to be a hot topic in the competition for the throne!
As for his Fourth Royal Brother, Bi Zheng, although he had lost the support of the Pavilion Master of the Kuixing Pavilion, he still had the support of Mansion Master Yin, Yin Baiyue. Mansion Master Yin had a lot of say in front of his father! It seemed that his Fourth Royal Brother, Bi Zheng, was not in a bad situation!
The one who was in the worst situation was his elder brother, the second prince. Without the support of the Kui Xing Pavilion, and without the support of the influential Medicine Master, the failure of the Kui Xing Pavilion caused some of the ministers and forces that had gathered under him to show signs of abandoning him overnight.
This was the saying, 'When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter'!
Overnight, the Second Prince, who was the most popular candidate for the throne, was in a gloomy situation. If not for the fact that the Emperor liked the Second Prince, the Second Prince, Bi Jing, would have had the urge to give up!
"No, that position must be mine! It must be! I've been running this business for so many years. I've worked so hard for so many years. How can I be defeated so easily? No, I must get that position! Otherwise, when Fourth Royal Brother or Seventh Royal Brother comes to power, will I still have a good life? " The Second Prince, who had drunk a lot of wine, was talking incoherently. A loyal servant who was guarding him in the corner sighed.
"But, whether it's the Kuixing Pavilion or the three Mansion Masters, I've already won them over. What should I do? How can I fight for the throne?" The Second Prince, Bi Jing, was thinking hard as he talked to himself.
He frowned and thought hard for a long time. After drinking half a bottle of the famous Jade Dragon Wine in the Hidden Dragon Abode, the Second Prince's body suddenly stiffened. The loyal servant who was hiding in the corner was shocked. He thought that something had happened to his Prince!
The stiffened Second Prince, Bi Jing, was pleasantly surprised. The decadence on his face disappeared in an instant. His pair of disappointed eyes suddenly lit up!
"Bang!"
The Second Prince, Bi Jing, slammed the table and said in surprise, "Yes, that's it! We've all forgotten that no matter how great our power and influence are, it's just to give ourselves more points in the fight for the throne! The real successor depends entirely on the Emperor's will! Yes, that's it. I want to find another way. As long as I get the Emperor's approval, the great power that you've worked so hard for is completely useless! "
While talking to himself, the Second Prince, Bi Jing, regained his confidence in fighting for the throne. Something that his Emperor Father told them last time flashed across his mind.
"But today, I can give you a definite message — no matter who finds the treasure, or who knows the exact location of the treasure, I'll lead people to take it back. As long as you can do one of these two things, the throne behind me will be yours! "The Second Prince, Bi Jing, remembered clearly what his Emperor Father told him in the palace that day.
However, his Emperor Father's decision only made the three princes happy for a few days. The longest one might have held on for half a month.
This was because the three princes had become like street vendors after they had mastered the sensing technique in the small booklet. Each of them was holding their breaths and trying to find clues!
Who would have thought that the three princes were so tired that they lost so much weight and couldn't even sense a single strand of human hair? For example, the Second Prince, Bi Jing, actually had hallucinations because he was overly concerned.
After persisting for half a month without any results, the three princes gave up at the same time. This was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. If they went down like this, by the time they found the needle, their Emperor Father might have already passed away! Then, the throne would be secured!
However, the Second Prince, Bi Ying, who thought of this today, suddenly had a sudden impulse because he couldn't win over the support of his Emperor Father anymore. He activated the sensing technique in the small book that his Emperor Father gave them and started to sense!
It was better than nothing to comfort himself!
However, just as he began to sense it, the half-drunk Second Prince, Bi Jing, who was leaning against the chair like a puddle of mud, suddenly sat up as if he had been stabbed with a knife. At the same time, a fanatical light shot out from his eyes!
"Could it be a hallucination?" The second prince, who had just stood up, felt a little dizzy. He hurriedly picked up the bowl of cleansing water and poured it over his head. The loyal servant was so shocked that he was confused. He thought that his prince was sick!
After being doused with cold water, the Second Prince, Bi Jing, felt a lot more awake. He then activated the royal family's secret technique again and carefully sensed!
Bi Jing could clearly sense a ball of blazing aura swaying a hundred meters to his left. It was extremely clear and was exactly the same as what was described in the small book when he sensed the royal family's relic!
"Old Li, go … immediately gather all the … manpower that can be mobilized. They must be experts. Tiangang Realm and Disha Realm, all of them must come! Go and get the fifty Disha superior-grade Disha Gang Piercing Crossbows hidden in the residence and distribute them to the Disha Realm martial artists! Then, hurry over here! "Because of nervousness, the Second Prince, Bi Jing's voice was trembling!
The loyal servant, Old Li, was stunned. Those fifty Disha superior-grade Disha Gang Piercing Crossbows were forbidden items. Was this Prince drunk too much?
"Prince, those fifty Disha superior-grade Disha Gang Piercing Crossbows are forbidden items. Also, wouldn't it be too big of a commotion to gather so many people …" The loyal servant, Old Li, dutifully advised!
However, the Second Prince, Bi Jing, didn't listen to his advice. He was furious and was about to scold loudly when he seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly lowered his voice and said sternly, "Quick, go quickly. Do as I say immediately. I have something important to do! Don't worry, I'm not drunk and I'm not muddle-headed! "Looking at his loyal servant's doubtful expression, the Second Prince, Bi Jing, explained!
Hearing this, the loyal servant, Old Li, responded and hurriedly ran out. The Prince's orders were everything!
Looking at the loyal servant, Old Li, going to gather the manpower, the Second Prince, Bi Jing, once again used the secret technique to sense the royal family's relic. When he confirmed that it was still nearby, the Second Prince, Bi Jing, once again revealed a burning gaze!
The Second Prince seemed to see his Father retiring after he succeeded and passing the throne to him directly!
He seemed to see his Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, and the others who were vying for the throne all kneeling at his feet. At this moment, he seemed to be the ruler of the world! (To be continued.
