The next day, there was a heroes' conference and a banquet for a hundred heroes.
The so-called Banquet of Hundred Heroes was a banquet with dozens of tables set up in the largest restaurant in Chunshui River, Shanwaishan. Hundreds of leaders from various sects gathered here to celebrate the Heroes Conference. The long street at the entrance was also filled with wine tables, and other disciples from various sects sat in the open air, drinking and chatting, which was very lively.
In the Shanwaishan Restaurant, Wang Ruoxu, the head of the Wang family, sat at the main table, while the second son Wang Buchen and the third son Wang Buyu stood at the door of the restaurant to welcome guests. Among the four major families, the first to arrive was Lu Tianxing, the head of the Lu family. Lu Tianxing had the iconic iron hammer hanging around his waist, followed by a tall dark-skinned man. The man looked a bit naive, and seemed a little overwhelmed as he looked at the lively scene on the street.
"Hello, Uncle Lu." Wang Buchen said with his head lowered.
Lu Tianxing nodded: "It's rare to see you personally welcoming guests today."
Wang Buchen looked at the young man behind Lu Tianxing and said with a smile, "Brother Lu Qin is here too. We haven't seen each other for many years."
Lu Qin smiled naively, and seemed to have a favorable impression of Wang Buchen in his words: "Brother Buchen, I have already made the sword you asked me to make last time, and I brought it here specially this time."
Wang Buchen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I had long forgotten that you were about the same height as a sword back then, but after a few years, you have grown so tall."
Lu Qin scratched his head: "Hehe."
"Come in." Wang Buyu urged.
"With you, the third brother, here, I, Lu Tianxing, feel at ease." Lu Tianxing patted Wang Buyu's shoulder, said something meaningful, and then led Lu Qin in.
"What does he mean by this?" Wang Buyu frowned.
Wang Buchen did not answer him, but turned his head and smiled, "Blue-clothed man."
"Nerd." The man in green stood at the door, gently waving the folding fan in his hand.
"Xie Xing!" Wang Buyu clenched his fists and was about to rush forward.
"It's you again." A jade sword was pushed forward gently, blocking Wang Buyu back. Nangong Xier stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to fight again?"
"Today is not a competition day, but a banquet for the heroes. It's a day for everyone to have a happy meal." Wang Buchen said to smooth things over, "All past grudges must be put aside today."
The man in green spread his hands and said, "My Xie family and your Wang family are relatives. Our relationship is extraordinary. How can there be any grudges? It's just a joke."
"In that case, please come in." Wang Buchen made way.
The man in green led Nangong Xier into the restaurant and came to the main table under the attention of everyone. He bowed to Wang Ruoxu and Lu Tianxing respectively, then sat down. Nangong Xier also sat down directly next to the man in green.
"This girl looks unfamiliar." Wang Ruoxu poured a cup of tea.
"She's my cousin." The man in green replied on behalf of Nangong Xier.
"I heard that your cousin had a fight with my Buyu a few days ago. Did your cousin win?" Wang Ruoxu asked.
"Oh?" Lu Tianxing also became interested and looked at Nangong Xier. "When did your Xie family produce such a beautiful and capable girl? Which Xie family elder's daughter is she?"
"Guess." The man in green smiled at Lu Tianxing.
Lu Tianxing was stunned for a moment, then pointed his finger and said, "Naughty."
"Have a cup of tea." Wang Ruoxu waved his hand and threw the teacup in his hand away.
Nangong Xier reached out and caught the teacup steadily.
"Where does the wind come from?" Lu Qin touched his face in confusion. At that moment, he clearly felt a gust of wind blowing on his face.
"Oh?" Wang Ruoxu smiled as he watched Nangong Xier slowly drink the tea in her cup. "Blue-clothed man, your cousin's kung fu is probably better than yours, right?"
The man in blue laughed loudly: "What a shame, what a shame."
Nangong Xier put down the teacup: "Thank you, Patriarch Wang, for the tea."
Outside the restaurant, Priest Xue was walking on the long street with Feng Zuojun and Xie Yuling. Their Masked Sect was made up out of thin air, so these three naturally didn't have any invitations to the Banquet of a Hundred Heroes, but Priest Xue still led the two of them to stand at the door of the Shanwaishan Restaurant.
"It's Feng Yuyi." Wang Buchen looked at Feng Zuojun.
Priest Xue said with a smile, "We, the Masked Sect, were established not long ago, and few people in the martial arts world know us. But I would like to have a drink from the Hundred Heroes' Banquet. Is that okay?"
Wang Buchen did not hesitate at all and replied directly: "If there is no jade at the Banquet of Hundred Heroes, then wouldn't the so-called Banquet of Hundred Heroes lose a lot of its charm?"
Feng Zuojun weighed the jade in his hand and said, "It seems that this piece of jade is really valuable."
"So we can come in?" Priest Xue asked again.
"Please." Wang Buchen made way.
Priest Xue walked in with Feng Zuojun and Xie Yuling. He glanced at Wang Ruoxu who was sitting at the main table, and Wang Ruoxu also looked up at him. Although the three members of the Masked Sect had sneaked into the Banquet of the Hundred Heroes, they were naturally not qualified to sit at the main table. They chose a seat in the corner and sat down.
"The Masked Sect? Is that the guy wearing the strange mask inside who defeated Dongfang Qi?" Lu Tianxing also looked over.
The man in green poured a glass of wine and said, "It's a pity that my third brother is not here, otherwise with his ability, the jade should be his this year."
"Xie Yuling?" Lu Qin seemed very happy. "Is he here too?"
Xie Yuling looked towards the main table: "Lu Tianxing brought Lu Qin with him as well. It looks like today's banquet for the 100 nobles will be really lively."
"That big black guy?" Feng Zuojun asked in confusion, "Is there anything special about him?"
Xie Yuling said meaningfully: "You will know when the time comes."
One after another, the leaders and elders of various major sects walked into the restaurant. The originally empty restaurant was soon filled with people. Wang Buchen and Wang Buyu stood guard at the door, watching the names on the list become fewer and fewer, but their expressions became more and more solemn.
Because a very important person was not here.
Without this person, the banquet cannot be held.
Because he is the most important person today, besides Wang Ruoxu, the head of the Wang family.
The head of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Yunwo.
The restaurant, which was bustling at the beginning, gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at Wang Ruoxu, waiting for him to announce the start of the banquet.
But I have never been to Dongfangyun.
Wang Ruoxu reached out and touched the jade ring in his hand, his pupils slightly constricted, and he said nothing.
Until a horse neighed at the door!
Dongfang Yun and Young Master Dongfang Qi rode through the long street of banquets and stopped at the entrance of Shanwaishan Restaurant. Dongfang Yun jumped up from his horse and walked in with a spear in hand.
Wang Buchen bowed his head slightly: "The last distinguished guest has arrived."
Wang Ruoxu stood up and said loudly: "Heroes, let's have the feast!"
