Outside the Castlevania.
Dozens of pure black horses stopped on a small hillside. Looking at the twinkling torches around, the leading man in black took off his hood and said with a smile, "It looks like everyone is here."
"Master Dongfang." A masked man walked out from the darkness.
The leading black-clad man turned his horse's head and looked at the masked man: "Wen Xi, the deputy commander of Qianjiyuan?"
The masked man nodded: "Master Dongfang has good taste."
The man in black sneered, "I recognize your umbrella."
"We have set up a banquet at the Dragon Seat in Shanglin Tian Palace and would like to invite Master Dongfang to come. I have been waiting for you here for a long time." Wen Xi said slowly.
The young man holding a spear next to him rode forward and said, "We have traveled a long way overnight. The master is tired, why not wait until tomorrow?"
"No need." The man in black reached out to stop the young man, nodded at Wen Xi and said, "I'll go later."
Wen Xi adjusted her mask and said, "I've always heard that Patriarch Dongfang is a kind person. Talking to him is like being bathed in spring breeze. After meeting him today, I feel that it is really true."
Patriarch Dongfang said calmly, "Your former owner Xie Kanhua Tower deserves such a description."
"You're joking." Wen Xi turned and left.
In a huge red tent, there was really an eight-person table, which was filled with a lot of food and wine. An old man in white touched the jade ring in his hand and said quietly, "I heard that everyone who came here is an extraordinary person?"
"Of the four major families in Jiangnan, the heads of the Wang, Dongfang and Lu families have come, and the people from the Xie family are still on the way. However, it doesn't matter who comes. The four major families today have actually already become three major families. As for Daze Mansion, the owner of Tianshui Villa, Liu Duohan, and the owner of Tianshu Hall, Mu Xi, have come in person, while Tianxiao Yunjing did not respond to our call." Wen Xi replied.
"All of you who came here are the leaders of your own sects, and I am just a chief of Qingming Academy." The old man narrowed his eyes, "I am afraid I will not be able to accept the crowd."
"Mr. Long is a man of high moral character and respected by all of us. You don't have to worry." The man in the red robe pushed open the curtain of the tent and stepped in.
"Master Wang." Mr. Long clasped his fists.
"I am Wang Ruoxu from the Wang family. I am honored to meet you, Dragon Lord." The head of the Wang family returned the greeting.
"Please take a seat." Mr. Long nodded.
As soon as Wang Ruoxu sat down, another burly man pushed the door open and walked in. The man had a face full of flesh. On this cold autumn day, he was only wearing a single piece of clothing, revealing his muscular body. He also had a hammer hanging from his waist, which formed a sharp contrast with the elegant Wang Ruoxu. When Wang Ruoxu saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Lu is here."
The man patted his chest muscles and said, "My chest is definitely exposed."
Mr. Long stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Lu, this is probably the first time we meet. Nice to meet you."
The man looked at Mr. Long and smiled: "The reputation of the Dragon Lord has spread throughout the world, and there are not many people who want to meet you."
Mr. Long narrowed his eyes slightly, and Wang Ruoxu immediately said, "Brother Lu always likes to joke, Lord Long, please don't mind."
"Lu Tianxing meets the Dragon Lord. Brother Wang is wrong. I am a rough man. I hang out in the blacksmith shop making weapons every day. I don't know how to joke, but I speak more bluntly." Lu Tianxing patted the hammer at his waist.
Mr. Long smiled and said, "I also like the art of forging. I forged my own weapons."
"I heard your voice, Brother Lu, from a long distance away." The curtain was drawn again, and a man in black walked in. The man was not as handsome as the head of the Wang family, but also not as rough and tough as the head of the Lu family. His temperament was elegant, giving people a very indifferent feeling.
"Dongfang Yun, I." Lu Tianxing went over and hugged the man in black, "It's been a long time since I saw you, kid."
Dongfang Yun I smiled and pushed him away: "You are sweating all over, stay away."
"Brother Dongfang." Wang Ruoxu nodded at Dongfang Yunwo.
"Brother Wang." Dongfang Yun replied with a smile, then looked at Mr. Long, "Greetings, Lord Long."
"Greetings, Master Dongfang." Mr. Long touched the jade ring in his hand. "Then of the four major families, only the Xie family has not arrived yet."
Wang Ruoxu raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter whether the Xie family members come or not, they are just here to make up the numbers."
Hearing the sarcasm in Wang Ruoxu's words, Dongfang Yun smiled and said nothing. Lu Tianxing was quite dissatisfied: "Brother Wang, this is wrong. The Xie family has many talented people, but the head of the family, Brother Xie Li, has a gentle personality and was born with a cold disease, so many things were left to our three families."
"This time, I hope they will take the lead." Wang Ruoxu sneered.
"It seems that this trip was not in vain. I have the honor to meet the heads of the three major families." Another person stepped into the tent.
"Master Liu." Mr. Long called.
The man who came was none other than Liu Duohan, the owner of Tianshui Villa who had led his men to attack Tianxiao Yunjing that day. Mu Pan was seriously injured that day, while he was only slightly injured. He came immediately after receiving the summons from Tianxiao Yunjing, because he had just become the owner of the villa from the young owner, and urgently needed to establish his own prestige in the world of martial arts.
"I don't like Tianshui Villa." Lu Tianxing raised his head and took a sip of tea. Liu Duohan's expression froze on his face. Fortunately, Wang Ruoxu pulled the chair behind him away: "Young Master Liu has just ascended the throne. We should go to Tianshui Villa to have a drink to celebrate. Since we meet here today, we might as well drink this wine as well."
Dongfang Yunwo smiled and patted Lu Tianxing on the shoulder, and said to Liu Duohan: "Tianshui Villa asked the Lu family for a batch of high-quality steel knives. The goods have been taken away three months ago, but the silver has not arrived, so the head of the Lu family is in a bad mood. Don't mind it."
Liu Duohan looked embarrassed: "Something must have gone wrong. When I return to the villa, I will immediately ask the accountant to send the money over."
"The people from Tianshutang haven't arrived yet?" Mr. Long changed the subject.
Wen Xi walked out: "I'll go take a look outside." As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw a handsome man in green standing there.
"It's you." Wen Xi was stunned.
"It's me. Am I qualified to go in?" the young man asked with a smile.
"Of course." Wen Xi immediately moved aside to make way.
The young man stepped into the tent and looked at Mr. Long who was sitting in the main seat. Mr. Long was also looking at him, but unfortunately he couldn't remember the name of the man in front of him after looking for a long time.
The fact that Wen Xi was able to put him into the tent meant that he must be an important figure in the sect, but Mr. Long felt that he looked too unfamiliar.
"Xie Xing from the Xie family, I'm here on behalf of the Xie family." The young man said slowly.
"Blue-clothed man!" Wang Ruoxu smashed the teacup in front of him and looked at Xie Xing fiercely, "How dare you come here!"
