“Men ield swords, cooblet for a toast and gulped the crihtful
He lazed on a chair, dressed in purple, under the orchid roof of the courtyard His eyes see at the canopy of orchids, yet his dazed, faraway look was as if he was staring into another dimension
His features were delicately sculpted; perfectly arched eyebrows fraht chiseled nose sat atop lips akin to a budding rose
His face was a perfect piece of jade, with raven black hair tied carelessly on his head and a fringe which hung loosely, fra exuded otherworldliness, the kind that was tinged with lonesome exclusivity
His beauty was parallel to that of a irls in the world would not have features as delicate
Yet the coht about a cold and distant feeling, like a deity above the clouds that was dish he was rather thin, and his face was too pale, those added asee, “Men ield swords, command brotherhood!”
Then he offered a toast oncesomeone, and emptied the cup
An unony sitting deep in his dark pool of orbs
Suddenly, his gaze turned sharp like shards of glass
The piercing gaze came and vanished in a flash, but several blossoms of orchids in front of his eyes treround
Yun Yang’s gaze turned a little dull, wondering how long it would take before he could recover his own cultivation base1 He had too le ounce of his cultivation base remained
Footsteps ca Master,” an elder stood behind hi did not turn his head, , “What is it, Lao Mei?”
The oldmaster was yet to heal froone and he could do nothing about it His intinity and honor still could be felt despite his weak state
It was a strange feeling, see to come from nowhere, but its existence was concrete
“There are two matters” Lao Mei said in a brief manner, “First, the military had raided the houses of President of the Censorate2 Wu Wenyuan and a few censors3 without notice I’ve also heard that it was a direct order from Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan Wu Wenyuan’s whole family had also been captured while Wu Wenyuan himself was arrested, and is now held behind bars”
Yun Yang listened without saying anything
It was nothing out of the ordinary – just a downfall of an influential official from the imperial court This would not be worthy of Lao Mei’s personal report so he knew that there was soe the details
“We’ve had our eyes on Wu Wenyuan for half a year now This servant4 hasthe raid and found a secret chamber within Wu Wenyuan’s secret chamber When the officials left after the raid, this servant had personally gone over to retrieve as in the secret cha was not even the least bit curious about the fact that Lao Mei was able to enter the zone during the military capture of the imperial official, to find and retrieve as said to be the most secure and obscure secret chamber
Lao Mei continued, “There was an authorization tally5, a jade pendant, afrowned
Lao Mei quickly followed, “On the authorization tally, ‘the best ti’ ritten! On the pendant, it wrote ‘tenth of the first month’ The medicinal pill is a revival pill from Hall of Pills while the beast pill was a reen-head hawk”
“Med with… treachery, and is alleged to be involved in the War of the Nine Supre was still silent, but Lao Mei could see the obvious shudder when his young master heard the words ‘Tianxuan Cliff’
Lao Mei felt the reducing te the courtyard, as orchids dropped without the existence of wind, for said, “Bring Wu Wenyuan over, I’ll question him myself!”
With Wu Wenyuan now jailed in the Ministry of Justice’s prison, how could he possibly be fetched over?
Yet Lao Mei pro Master, I’ve heard that the e to the Nine Supremes, with Wu Wenyuan and a thousand heads of the betrayers”
Hearing ‘Nine Supreed as if stabbed with a dagger He said, “I have my ways”
Lao Mei replied, “Yes”
“What’s the secondthen asked
“It’s that… we have no more money” Lao Mei said aardly, “We still have ten thousand silver taels, but my estiht”
Yun Yang nodded, saying, “I understand”
“Lunch is ready”
“Got it”
Lao Mei then went away
A sliver of ’s expression, “Year! The best tiuys are finally co out?”
A faint shten anyone who saw it, as the faint smile icked and murderous, as if haunted with souls of the unrest!
The dining table was full of o around
There were at least 40 to 50 catties8 of an to eat
Lao Mei turned his head aith a cough
This was a daily ant young , had to finish so h his meal etiquette was impeccable, there were still…at least 50 catties ofof an appetite was needed to consu master’s appetite had increased to an insane ao
Each of his meals must be served with at least several dozen catties ofof meat for a meal would cost 8 thousand taels of silver
This was unsustainable, especially on top of other large expenditures
What really happened to his young hts, his young , Qin, and Ling I’ll host a banquet tonight at White Cloud Restaurant”
The corner of Lao Mei’s lips quivered before he said, “Yes”
Soon after, Yun Yang ate the last piece of meat and sed the revival pill fro the rade mystical beast into his mouth as well
Just the value of the last two ite priceless
“Just about full,” Yun Yang said
The corner of Lao Mei’s lips quivered a bit more violently
The invitation had evoked furious wails in the courtyards of all seven different young !”
“I have no oes is a son of a btch!”
“bastard, a banquet again? Oh my God…how could this be?”
“Oh God, oh earth, kill hi strike please… this vampire… he hosts a banquet the very ive ain…”
“Fck”
Yun Yang went on his way as night came
