Chapter 168 Great Hospitality (1/2)

After Lyu Liang finished his closed-door meditation, he learned about his companions' performance in the competition. Hearing Liu Jiawen's perky words, Lyu Liang smiled a pleasant smile—it seemed that his companions were not a mediocre lot.

10 days before they entered the relic, Lyu Liang received an invitation from Huangfu Gang and Duan Xiaofang again. He was able to give some excuses last time, but now it seemed that he couldn't decline them anymore. Keeping Feng Xiu's warning in mind, Lyu Liang decided to accept the invitations. And of course, he would go alone.

Since Huangfu Gang was the first to extend his invitation, Lyu Liang went to his mansion first. When he entered the gate, he couldn't help but mutter, ”This guy is so extravagant!”

The entire mansion was covered by thick Primordial Qi, which could almost rival that of Virtual Land. The yard was vast, with many servants and maids on guard or cleaning, and their cultivation, were all at least, at the Peak of Nascent Soul.

Seeing Lyu Liang, all of them greeted him respectfully. The maids were all graceful and charming, dressed sexily. When they bowed to Lyu Liang, their breasts were almost exposed, and they even cast coquettish glances at him.

With a fiery, red face, Lyu Liang walked to the hall, where he received a warm hug from Huangfu Gang. This time, he did not see the grey fog.

”It's my honor to have brother Lyu come to my shabby residence! Come on! I have prepared a banquet with the finest divine food and wine. Let's drink and chat!” Huanfu Gang's hospitality was too much for Lyu Liang.

During the entire banquet, Huangfu Gang kept a low profile. Although he was undoubtedly much older than Lyu Liang and his cultivation was at the Peak of Almighty Immortal, Huangfu Gang insisted on regarding himself as a junior, which made Lyu Liang feel much resigned.

Just as Huangfu Gang said, all the dishes and wine were rarities. They could either nourish the Divine Soul or improve the Primordial Qi. Anyway, it was an eye-opener for Lyu Liang.

Lyu Liang had thought that Huangfu Gang would sound him out about something, but during the banquet, the topics were all about Lyu Liang's heroic deeds. If Feng Xiu hadn't warned him, Lyu Liang would have got come away with a favorable impression of Huangfu Gang. Even now, he doubted whether he had been over worried. After all, they hadn't met before, and he shouldn't be prejudiced against someone, because of some partial judgment.

Two hours later, Lyu Liang asked to leave, and Huangfu Gang had a reluctant look on his face. Then, Huangfu Gang clapped his hands, and 10 beautiful maids came in, all of whom were at the Void Return level. Each of them held a square tray in her hands, which contained a superior treasure!

”These are the maids in my residence, each beautiful, talented, and virginal. If you don't mind, please take all of them! And here are some rare treasures. You may need them someday. Please accept them together!” Huangfu Gang's words almost rendered Lyu Liang speechless.

Lyu Liang declined with all kinds of excuses and finally persuaded Huangfu Gang to take back the gorgeous maids. In the end, he chose only a large Teleportation Talisman and expressed a thousand thanks, before he left.

When he came back to his cave residence, he breathed a sigh of relief and discussed with the divine beasts in his Divine Soul, ”What do you think of Huangfu Gang?”

White, ”Deep. That's my only comment.”

Black, ”I don't like him! There seems to be something hidden behind his smile.”

Golden, ”I have no special feeling. I just feel that he adores Lyu Liang. But just as the saying goes, when the fox preaches, take care of your geese!”

Ape, ”His wine, wine, wine tastes good...”

Fatty, ”I feel that he's a nice guy. He seems to really want to make your acquaintance. I have no bad impression of him.”

Lyu Liang kept all these comments in mind and didn't ponder over it, for the time being. Then, he set off for Duan Xiaofang's residence.

At the same time, Huangfu Gang was also pondering about Lyu Liang.

”How do you feel about Lyu Liang?” Huangfu Gang was tasting the wine, and behind him, was a cloud of fog.

”Humph! He's just a callow idiot with a stupid face. He's still green and inexperienced! Does he really deserve your care?” There was an evident hint of disdain in the fog's mysterious voice.

Huangfu Gang tossed off the wine in the cup, and then his eyes lit up, as he said somehow excitedly, ”Do you know? You are like this because you look down on those who should not be treated in this way! Lyu Liang is definitely not simple! He was cautious in his speech, indifferent to my praises, and shrewd inside, although he looked foolish and unguarded. Also, this guy remained composed in front of beauties and treasures, and what he finally chose, was a Talisman. All of these suggest that he has a meticulous mind and rich, practical experience. Besides, according to my observation, he has more than one spirit on him. He's such a robust rival!”

”Humph!” The fog was not convinced. He lowered his voice and said, ”What a pity that he will perish in the relic! I don't want to see him again!”

”Ho ho, my thoughts are different from yours. He has so many secrets that I want to probe his soul thoroughly! If he dies in the relic, how disappointed I will be! Also, I hope that our people will not kill him so fast.” Huangfu Gang sighed with regret in his eyes.

”Hey hey, who knows? They are our best soldiers. It's all up to Lyu Liang. Oh yes, the guy from the Feng family seems to be wary of you. Have you ever offended him before?” The fog sneered and changed the topic immediately.

Huangfu Gang frowned and shook his head as he said, ”I have no impression. Even if I've met him, it was before my closed-door meditation. But you reminded me of something. There was a man, whose Cultivation Method was somehow weird. Could it be... Forget it. Just wait until the exploration ends. If he doesn't come out, I won't need to worry about him anymore!”

Lyu Liang headed to Duan Xiaofang's residence at dusk, which was also a courtyard. It was much more ordinary than Huangfu Gang's, yet gave off a certain aura.

When Lyu Liang came to the front of the yard, the door opened suddenly, before he could even knock. Then, four robust men, each at the Peak of Almighty Immortal, jumped out and rolled up their sleeves, in front of him.
