Chapter 912 - Opening the Doors to His Mansion and Setting up a Banquet (2/2)
At that moment, the discussions and theories from quite a number of players came from outside.
The people’s voices were loud.
“Class One Hall us really finished this time.”
“Wandering Know-it-all is already making a clamor for Mu Clan.”
“How would you know whether Wandering Know-it-all is not trying to mediate the conflict between them?”
“Mediate, my foot. Dream Clouds has personally admitted that she has connections with the Prophet at Mount Song, which is why she managed to break the concealment effect on Happy. Wandering Know-it-all is definitely livid because of it, so why should he help mediate the conflict between Class One Hall and Happy for Class One Hall?”
“The Prophet recklessly extended his reach into the Chinese server like a suicidal maniac and destroyed the Prophet’s dignity. Do you think that Wandering Know-it-all is a hermit and doesn’t have a shred of a temper in him?”
“Just watch. In simple and clear terms, this banquet is for Happy when he enters Beijing. Beijing has many forces of power here, and it’s not just Class One Hall alone who is powerful. If Mu Clan wants to completely take over this place, it’ll still be rather hard for them to do so. Holding this banquet is a chance Wandering Know-it-all created for Happy.”
*****
There was a saying that was highly accurate: the onlookers will sometimes see a situation better than those involved in the situation.
The Music sisters might not be able to guess Wandering Know-it-all’s goal for the time being, but those not involved were able to tell with just one glance.
Wandering Know-it-all sent invitations to practically all of Beijing for his banquet, and he might have the thought of breaking his rule of shutting his door to others so that he can work together with Happy to destroy Class One Hall.
When they thought about this in depth, the Music sisters had their expressions change.
Musical Note said, “Looks like we’ll need to go to Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion now. What say you, sister?”
“Why?”
“If Wandering Know-it-all is really laying out the path for Mu Clan and Happy, if we go, we can see just what Wandering Know-it-all is thinking, and we can also show that we are indirectly submitting to Happy and Mu Clan. I think that this might be our last chance in protecting Towering Palace.”
Clear Music said nothing, but her eyes shone for a while before she finally sighed and nodded. “We’ll do as you said.”
After she finished speaking, both ladies packed up their things, sent a messenger pigeon to have someone prepare gifts for them, got up, and left the restaurant to head to Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion.
*****
“Hehe, Brother Dragon, you’re here as well?”
“This is the first time you held a banquet, Master Wandering Know-it-all. How can I not show respect by not turning up?”
“Haha! I’m different from you. I came for that person. My daughter says that she really likes the thing Happy is serving as a spokesperson for. When she heard that Happy is coming to Beijing, she asked me that I was to film the entire process of the banquet no matter what. Haha!”
“Brother Ji!”
“Master Inksword.”
“I’ve heard of your name for a long time. Please, come in.”
Wandering Know-it-all’s thirty-six disciples were dressed in simple clothes while they stood outside Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion. They lined themselves neatly along the stairs while they wrapped their fists in their palms and greeted the famous people from Beijing. Then, someone from among them will send them into the front hall or the living room in the mansion, and the mansion bustled with life.
“Sect Master Luo, this way, please.”
“Sect Master Fei, it has been a while since we met. Your good friend, White Friend has been waiting for a long time for you inside.”
“Alright.”
“Haha! Everyone, I’ll take my leave first.”
The players watching all the hustle and bustle inside occupied all the roofs. They surrounded the mansion to the point that not even a single drop of water can pass. They gasped in astonishment when they saw the people.
“Barren Murderer is also here? Look at that, he brought two bodyguards with him.”
“That youngster… Is he Responsible Hero? I thought Ximen Chuixue’s ace disciple always shuts himself up to train. Why is he out here?”
“I heard that he gained some achievements with his sword technique, and he came out here this time to specifically challenge Happy.”
“With the likes of him?”
“Happy is someone who defeated Great Person Wei Zhentian, Bright Sword Sect Disciple Do Jin, and the disciple of the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison user, Jade Vine, and he did it all in succession. And Responsible Hero can’t even get a rank on the International Influential Rank of the Strong.”
The entrance bustled with activity, and soon, more than three hundred people entered, though they came in a scattered fashion.
“By the looks of it, all the sect masters in Beijing are here.”
“It’s going to be even livelier now. Even the sect masters who support Class One Hall as well as those who usually make a show of force in Beijing have arrived.”
“Huh? Look.”
Countless pairs of eyes on the roofs around the mansion were fixed on a pair of sisters.
“Clear Music and Musical Note!”
“Those sisters are also in Beijing?”
“I didn’t expect that Towering Palace will also join the banquet.”
“We’ll have something fun to watch now.”
“Happy was real ruthless last time, and they nearly destroyed Towering Palace. This time, do the sisters want to regain their dignity or something?”
*****
“Palace Master Music, how kind of you to show up! We thank you for coming, and we apologize for not receiving you while you were still far away.”
Two disciples had their eyes light up and took two steps forward to wrap their fists in their palms to salute Clear Music and Musical Note while they were before them.
The two women nodded.
“We heard about Master Wandering Know-it-all setting up a banquet in his mansion, and we came without an invitation. I hope that we aren’t bothering him.”
“Of course not. Our master has long since told us that if both of you came, you can enter the hall straight away. That place where the important guests are to be seated.”
The answer from Wandering Know-it-all’s disciples caught the Music sisters by surprise.
Wandering Know-it-all had actually predicted their arrival.
