Haitian Tower is bustling and prosperous.
Many dignitaries in luxurious clothes kept coming in and out, fully demonstrating the grandeur and splendor of the number one building in the capital.
The banquet to be held here tonight is the wedding day of the most popular courtesan Liu Sisi.
It is said that this courtesan was the most beautiful woman in the capital, with unparalleled beauty. Even Empress Lu Zhao was amazed by her beauty, and many men in the capital were also attracted to her.
Her wedding day was naturally extremely lively.
However, Luo Jing, who was walking in Haitian Tower, seemed like an outsider.
He followed the two maids, his eyes on the nose and his nose on the heart, without looking at them much.
Now he is trying hard to adjust his mood and calm his mind in order to prepare for the next meeting.
If even two little maids are so charming, how terrifying must the Lord of Yumengtian be
Luo Jing didn't dare to relax, for fear that he would be tricked and bewitched if he wasn't careful.
But at this moment, Luo Jing suddenly felt some kind of prying gaze.
There seemed to be a hint of hostility in that look.
This made Luo Jing curious.
He doesn't have any enemies in the capital, right
Why would anyone be so hostile to him for no apparent reason
Subconsciously looking up, Luo Jing followed the line of sight.
But I only saw the back of a young man leaving.
He was a young man who looked a little thin and frail, with silver hair and seemed to have been weathered.
When he turned the corner, his profile revealed a handsome and extraordinary face.
But under that messy head of silver-white hair, this person looks a little depressed and cold, a tough guy who is not easy to mess with...
Luo Jing watched the other person leave curiously, wondering why this stranger was hostile to him.
But now is not the time to think about this.
Because he had already walked into a room deep in the Haitian Tower under the guidance of two maids.
At this point, the hustle and bustle outside was completely isolated.
The corridor is quiet, peaceful and elegant.
A faint fragrance wafted through the house, like the scent of orchids in a mountain valley, refreshing to the heart.
There is also the sound of soft piano, like the gurgling of water, elegant and pleasant to the ear.
At this moment, Luo Jing seemed to have come to the green mountains and clear waters and saw a paradise.
He was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and walked into the house under the gaze of two maids.
Then the door closed behind him.
Only then did Luo Jing see the house in front of him clearly.
Contrary to what he expected, he did not see a stunningly beautiful and charming woman.
Although there was a woman in the room, she was behind several curtains.
Luo Jing, standing at the door, could only see the vague figure of the woman behind the layers of curtains.
The sound of the piano paused slightly when Luo Jing entered the room.
Then a woman's soft voice was heard in the room.
"Sir, please take a seat."
Luo Jing looked at the chair in the middle of the room and walked straight up to it and sat down.
Through the layers of curtains, he couldn't see the woman's face clearly, and couldn't even sense the slightest hint of charm.
The leader of the Yaoyue Sect unexpectedly did not have the slightest seductive aura.
She looked so elegant, like an ordinary lady from an official family, even her aura was so ordinary. She was obviously a great cultivator in the Grand Void Realm, but she was not like the old demon Cangyu, whose aura was as vast as the sea and gave people pressure.
Luo Jing hesitated slightly: "Miss, are you... Senior Qiu Wuji?"
This woman is actually the leader of the evil sect who stirred up the world as rumored
This is different from what I imagined!
But from behind the curtain, a woman's soft laughter was heard.
The other person covered his mouth and chuckled, "Yes, I am Qiu Wuji."
"But you don't have to call me senior... Am I so old in your eyes?"
Every move he made was friendly and natural, without any of the airs of a senior or the affectation of pretending to be young.
Luo Jing had some favorable impression towards Sect Master Yao Yue whom he met for the first time.
He smiled and said, "Then I will dare to call you Sect Master Qiu..."
As he spoke, Luo Jing calmed down and said, "I came here this time because I was asked by Senior Cang Yu..."
Before Luo Jing finished speaking, the woman behind the curtain chuckled.
"Did that old monster ask you to send me away? Since you came here alone, I already understand everything."
"This is indeed the old monster's style."
"But even if I knew, I couldn't do anything about it."
"Your elders have done me a favor. Since that old monster has invited you, I can only give you a little face and not look for him this time."
"I just want to trouble you to tell that old monster when you go back, saying that I will come to see him next time I come to the capital. I hope he won't run away again next time."
Things went even more smoothly than Luo Jing had expected.
Luo Jing didn't even need to say anything, the legendary witch actually revealed the matter.
Luo Jing was surprised, but he also felt a liking for the straightforwardness of the Yaoyue Sect Leader.
Then he thought of that old monster's ugly face, his yellow teeth, and the fact that he had to be kicked here alone to deal with him... and then he looked at the gentle clan leader in front of him.
Luo Jing immediately developed a liking for this sect leader.
He smiled and said, "Master, you are so generous. I would like to thank you for this."
"But as the Lord of Yumengtian, did you come to the capital this time just to find Senior Cangyu?"
Luo Jing felt strange. Logically, there should be more important things waiting for this Sect Master Qiu, right
After all, she revealed the matter of Old Demon Cang Yue so easily. It seemed that settling old scores with Old Demon Cang Yue was just a side job for her
But Qiu Wuji laughed softly behind the curtain and said, "Young Master is indeed smart and clever... That's right, I did come to Beijing for another important matter this time."
"If things take a turn for the better in the future, I may have a chance to talk to you in detail."
"Tonight, let's just watch something exciting."
As Qiu Wuji's voice fell, the curtain hanging on the wall of one side of the room was suddenly pulled open, revealing the scene behind the curtain.
—Behind the curtain, there is actually a vast lobby
In an instant, all kinds of noisy sounds came from the lobby.
Luo Jing looked at the scene in the lobby, but knew that this was not the real lobby. It was a water mirror condensed by Qiu Wuji's magic power, projecting everything that happened in the lobby here.
Confusedly looking at Qiu Wuji behind the curtain, Luo Jing asked, "The Sect Master is also interested in the courtesan Liu Sisi?"
In response, Qiu Wuji smiled and shook his head.
She said, "I have little interest in that courtesan, but the man who was hostile to you just now is quite eye-catching and makes people curious about his background."
As Qiu Wuji spoke, the image in the water mirror zoomed in and froze on a seat in the corner.
The person sitting there was the white-haired man who had been hostile to Luo Jing outside just now.
At this time, the white-haired young man had a stern face and messy hair. He was holding a sword and sitting silently in the corner, seeming to be out of tune with the bustle of the entire hall.
Qiu Wuji looked at the white-haired young man in the water mirror and said, "This person's aura is scattered, and he doesn't look like a cultivator."
"But it gives me a subtle sense of pressure. I think he is a top expert who can conceal his aura."
"And he is hostile to you... I wonder if you and this person are old acquaintances?"
