The next day, Su Yuewu woke up in her room. Bing-Er's fruit wine tasted good, but it was still liquor after all. She felt as if her head was about to split open.
While she was rubbing her head, Bing-Er came in with a basin of water. Seeing Su Yuewu rubbing her head, he smiled and said, "Young Miss must have been greedy last night. Young Master Gu must have been the same as well. When I escorted young Miss back to her room this morning, her face was pale and she staggered."
Su Yuewu asked, "Did he carry me back?" Bing'er placed the wet towel into Su Yuewu's hands, the cool towel covering her aching forehead was very comfortable. Bing'er said in a teasing tone, "That's right, Young Master Gu was carrying Miss into the house and coincidentally ran into Young Master Leng who came looking for Miss."
Eyebrows... Leng Fanyun should not be jealous. Su Yuewu thought. She asked again, "Then did Young Master Gu go to rest?"
Bing-Er answered, "No, he just took her back to her room and left on his own."
"What?" He left just like that? " Su Yuewu was somewhat astonished. He hadn't taken anything, but yesterday he was too worn out from the journey, so why did he leave so early in the morning? She complained, "Why didn't you tell me? Don't pinch this man."
Bing-Er said, "Maybe I finished talking last night." Su Yuewu also thought that even though he was bewitching and flirtatious, in his heart, he was just like a child, sensitive and fragile. He probably didn't dare to face her, so she secretly slipped away before she even woke up.
Su Yuewu finally felt better. She took the cloth off her face and said, "Bing'er, let's start the meal. After we finish, we will begin the battle."
On the other side, Rou Er had returned to the Gate of Wonder and received a beautiful invitation from Su Yue Wu. The contents were rather polite, as she had heard that Su Yue had taken control of the Gate of Wonders, and she wished to congratulate Su Rou. If there was time, she hoped to meet with her once more to discuss the matters of the martial arts world.
So she knew? Rou-Er wasn't worried at all, she just burned the letter on the candle. She didn't want to get involved in the matters of the martial arts world anymore. She only needed to wait for her good man to finish everything, bring her a phoenix coronet to marry him, and then she would sell that mansion. The two of them would live in a place where no one else could find them.
What Master Bai, what Su Yuewu? How could people like them, who stood at the top of the pyramid, know the sorrow of her struggling at the bottom of life? It was already hard enough just to live on. She would no longer be a pawn in their game.
Tang YiRou took five to six days to deal with some of the sect's matters. She thought about it for a moment. She should be able to discuss it with the young master in white today. Qing Ya had promised her that he wouldn't participate in any further discussions. They had already dealt with most of the sect matters, and he was soon going to marry her.
Tang YiRou was holding the letter he had given her yesterday in her hand, and she was smiling from the corner of her eyes.
Shangguan Tulong reorganized himself. His seemingly simple white clothes were embroidered with gold and ordinary silk, giving off a faint radiance under the light. His handsome features gave him a natural aristocratic air. He was very satisfied with his current self. What was so good about Leng Fanyun? Other than martial arts, what else was stronger than him? Always a cold coffin face, which woman would like it.
Su Yuewu, you'll definitely regret it. When I get the mountains, you will kneel at my feet and beg me.
He clapped his hands and a ghost-like shadow suddenly appeared outside the door. He asked, "Is everything ready for the banquet?" The shadow nodded his head and said, "Everything has been prepared according to Young Master's instructions. The new head of the big gangs has also come, but... However, Tang YiRou of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was too ill.
He caressed his eyebrows and said casually: "It doesn't matter, even if she doesn't come, Wu Qingya will still be here. Does she think that she can return to her lover? She wants to get rid of me? We'll have to see if she has the ability. "
The shadow stood upright like a tree stump and said coldly, "Master is wise."
The man waved him away with a casual wave of his hand. He looked at the hourglass. It was almost time for the banquet, so he led his beautiful servant girl towards the Windblast Pavilion. When he reached the fork in the road, he couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment before turning in another direction. The servant girl said, "Young master, this... Isn't this the way to the banquet? "
Without answering her, he walked slowly to the front of a small yard. The guard on duty bowed when he saw that it was his master. Shangguan Tun Long said faintly, "You may leave first."
No one made a sound in the courtyard. The noisy girl had finally figured out his true appearance, but she could only be imprisoned here like a bird. As if she had grown up overnight, she refused to say another word. Even though she still ate and drank, whether it was scalding her mouth or stinging her eyes, she refused to express her emotions. She just mechanically ate her food.
Shangguan Tullong sat down in front of her without batting an eyelash. He purposely said, "Today, I gathered the new leaders of all the martial arts sects and clans here. If everything goes well, the entire martial arts world will be mine. Your little miss Su Yuewu is also one of my people. "
Her eyes finally moved to his face and said word by word, "You're shameless. You really make me sick."
When Shangguan Tulong heard her curse him like this, he felt a bit delighted. It was as if he was a merciless murderer, impaling the wounds that were badly mutilated to the point where they were even more expressionless. He smiled and said, "Yes, I am shameless. This is the way of the world. The strong preys on the weak. I am shameless, which is why I have obtained all of this." He pinched her chin again and said, "Aren't you shameless and disgusting? "You betrayed your uncle, your aunt, sister Bing'er, and your mistress. Because of you, there are only dozens of people left from the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest. Compared to me, you are not much better."
He saw her expression change as he wished, and his eyes were filled with tears. He felt an inexplicable sense of happiness. He flicked his sleeve and walked out, but this time, it was in the direction of the Windblast Pavilion.
All of the Sect Leaders were still wet behind the ears. The oldest was probably Wu Qingya, sitting there modestly, talking with the new Sect Leader, who was standing next to him. That teenage girl looked at him with a blushing face, but he didn't notice at all.
Shangguan Tullong felt that he had won for sure this time. He smiled as he sat down at the seat of honor, looked around and said apologetically, "Everyone, I'm sorry to be late. "Then I'll give myself three cups." He was a lot older than them, yet he still humbly looked at them. After drinking three cups of wine, they felt that they had both a bit of face and that Master Bai was a man of good character.
Not daring to let him drink alone, they stood up as well. He picked up his wine cup and drank with him before sitting down. The dishes were very rich. They were basically the favorite dishes of the young people. The Sect Leaders even pretended to be noble. Master Bai was casual, so they kept their temper and kept fighting with the people around them.
Seeing that they had no intention of reminding him, Shangguan Tulong slowly asked after he had eaten his fill, "Since the sect leaders are newly appointed, there are naturally a lot of things I should not bring up at this time. However, due to the turmoil of the martial world, all of your masters and uncles were also nearly killed here, so I couldn't bear it any longer and brazenly brought up this matter."
The frolicking voices below the stage quieted down. When everyone thought of their Master, their hearts were filled with sympathy. The girl asked, "Master Bai, what do you think we should do? The Moon Slaughter Devil Nest and the Demon Palace are so powerful, what qualifications do we have to take revenge for Master? "
Shangguan Tun Long knew someone would ask this, so he revealed his signature gentle smile and said: "Of course, although I feel sad, but if we move now, it will be like striking a stone with an egg. It's not good indeed. "But …" He suddenly changed the topic and looked at the crowd. "Has anyone heard of the story of breaking chopsticks?"
Seeing everyone's puzzled look, he continued to speak, "Everyone, think of yourself as an ordinary person without inner strength. If you were just a pair of chopsticks, would you be able to break it? Of course it is, but if it's a hundred pairs or a thousand pairs, can we break it? That would be much more difficult. "
Seeing that everyone was still confused, he directly stated, "We are now these two pairs of chopsticks. The Moon Slaughter Art and the Demon Palace are going to deal with us separately, it's just like breaking a pair of chopsticks. But what if together we become a whole bunch of chopsticks? So they won't get away with it that easily? "
Everyone nodded their heads in succession. Another youth of about sixteen to seventeen years old asked, "Then, how can one transform a pair of chopsticks into a pair of chopsticks?"
Seeing how easily these people were deceived, Shangguan Tun Long didn't need to use his final killing move anymore. He replied softly, "It's very simple. We have to gather all the gangs together and turn them into an organization even bigger than the Moon Slaughter and the Demon Palace. Only by doing this can we win."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Everyone, you are still not mature enough. When everyone is talented enough, we can publicly select a suitable Sect Leader. Before that, I am not talented enough, and am willing to represent the Sect temporarily."
Everyone was confused by his string of words. They only felt that what he said made sense, but something clearly wasn't right. Only Wu Qingya's clear voice sounded, "Does Master Bai mean that we should all be in the same clan and you should be the representative leader for the time being?"
When Shangguan Tulong saw that he had grasped the crux of the problem, a trace of admiration flashed through his eyes. He said, "I am only making this suggestion, and the actual implementation will depend on the combined efforts of the various Sect Leaders. However, looking at the situation in the martial arts world, it seems to be the only best plan." If Sect Leader Wu does not agree with me temporarily acting as your representative, we can also put forward a fair proposal.
People in the crowd were whispering. They felt that Master Bai was a noble man. If they were so stingy and pretentious, it would be useless for them to be the head of the Sect. Someone suggested it right away, "I agree with Master Bai. Master Bai is so smart. He will make the right decision. I want you to be the leader."
Seeing that the first person agreed, more and more people slowly began to agree: "Yes, I agree." "I agree too!" A voice of approval rang out at the banquet. Only Wu Qingya sat there like a straight pine tree, unwavering and expressionless.
He was rather arrogant, and a hint of coldness and disdain flashed in Shangguan Tulong's eyes. He gently asked: "Sect Leader Wu, have you thought about it? How about the others?"
The others also started whispering to each other, and the Sect Leader pulled on his sleeve, "Brother Wu, please agree, there is no harm in doing so. I feel that young master's suggestion is extremely good. There's no better way. "
Wu Qingya pulled back his hand and stood up. He looked at the people around him with eyes filled with contempt and disapproval. He said in a clear voice, "I don't agree."
