C891 Before the Feast
C891 Before the Feast
When countless people heard the news, they rubbed their fists and couldn't wait to attend the banquet.
War God was a super expert ranked on Number One of Heavenly Master Ranking's list!
If they could befriend him, wouldn't that mean they would have a meteoric rise?
Countless people had such an idea in their minds. They had spent all their efforts to prepare the congratulatory gifts. As long as they could win War God's favor in terms of gifts, they would be able to succeed by half!
But soon, another piece of news spread out. It was the list of people who would attend the banquet, and it was decided by War God himself.
This time, many people were irritated. They were surprised, happy, and worried.
Those who were surprised thought that War God's actions didn't seem to want to be on good terms with all the big families in the capital.
Those who were happy thought that those who were able to attend the banquet would be recognized by War God.
Many people started to get excited. If anyone was recognized by War God, their reputation and status in the capital would rise!
As for their worries, they were naturally worried that they wouldn't be able to attend the feast, which meant that they wouldn't be able to enter War God's eyes.
In short, this news made countless people love and hate him. They all hoped that he wouldn't become that unlucky bastard.
Apart from that, there was also another piece of news that had spread.
It was the people from the Rong Family and Lu Family. They were not allowed to participate, and were directly excluded from the invitation list.
For a moment, many people were discussing amongst themselves, and they were gloating over the misfortune of others.
They guessed that the people of Rong Family and Lu Family had offended War God, or else why would they be excluded from the invitation list?
Lu Family.
"Bang!"
Lu Tianhua furiously slammed the table, causing the tea set on the table to shake.
"Damn it! This is too much!" Lu Tianhua was naturally annoyed by the fact that the Lu Family was excluded from the banquet invitation list.
Lu Shushi really couldn't figure it out, "Dad, what exactly is going on? The Lu Family has never offended War God, right?"
"That's right. We have never dealt with War God before. Why is he targeting us?" Lu Shude was furious. He clenched his fist and felt aggrieved.
Lu Shulin frowned and could not figure it out. He said, "This is too strange! We haven't even seen War God himself, nor have we had any conflicts with him. There's no reason for him to be so hostile towards the Lu Family. Besides, he's also targeting the Rong Family! "
" If we had offended War God before, when did the Rong Family offend War God? " Lu Shushi muttered.
"Regardless of the reason, it seems like only the Rong Family and the Lu Family were targeted! Now, both of us have become the laughing stock of all the families in the capital! " This was the thing that Lu Tianhua couldn't accept the most.
The greater the family, the more attention they paid to their reputation.
After being targeted by War God, who knew what they had done, and how others would look at them in a strange way?
"Dad, calm down first. There must be a reason why War God did this. Besides, it's just a rumor. It doesn't necessarily mean it's true!" Lu Shude comforted him.
Lu Tianhua suddenly turned his head and stared at him coldly. "Are you lying to yourself? Can't you tell if it's true or not?"
"This..." Lu Shude had nothing to say. He was just trying to comfort him. He didn't believe that it wasn't because of the Lu Family. There was no wind in an empty cave. Since there was such a rumor, it was most likely true.
Lu Shushi frowned deeply, "What can you think of?"
Lu Shulin and Lu Shude looked at each other and shook their heads.
If they could think of something, they would not be sighing and worrying here.
Lu Tianhua gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Investigate! Investigate this matter clearly! I don't believe that War God will target the Lu Family for no reason!"
" Yes! "
...
Rong Family.
When the majority of the Rong Family's members heard that the Rong Family was prohibited from attending the banquet, they exploded into an uproar, thinking that it was unfair.
Only Rong Changsheng, Rong Tiande, Rong Tiangang, and Rong Tianlin could roughly guess that it was because of them. Due to some things that could not be explained, they kept silent and allowed their clansmen to guess.
"Grandfather, do you think it's appropriate for War God to do this?" Rong Tiande actually did not quite understand. They had never offended War God before, so why did they need to target them like this?
Rong Changsheng sighed. "There's nothing wrong with it. Since he chose to do this, he must have thought it through carefully."
He knew very well that War God was worried that after inviting the people of Rong Family to the banquet, Rong Xinlian would be discovered, or the Nine Profound Sect would notice something.
It had to be said that War God thought even further than him.
However, War God's actions had caused the Rong Family to become the laughing stock of the crowd.
"Grandfather, but if it's like this, the Rong Family will be treated as a laughing stock by others. You don't know this, but when I went out today, I met someone from the Hu family. What he said was not just unpleasant to the ears." Rong Tiangang wasn't in a good mood.
Rong Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Let's just let him be like this for now. Just bear with it and let bygones be bygones. It's fine if we don't participate in the banquet. The most important thing right now is to take care of yourself!"
"Grandfather..." The three brothers couldn't believe their ears. Was this the grandfather who had a violent temper in the past?
Being targeted like this, he actually didn't have the slightest bit of anger?
Rong Changsheng glared at the three of them, "What, you don't listen to me anymore?"
The three of them immediately lowered their heads, "Yes, grandfather..."
"I know that you all have your own thoughts, but this is a critical period. It's better to avoid unnecessary troubles. The few of you better cultivate properly, don't get involved in other matters!" Rong Changsheng warned them with a stern voice.
The three of them immediately became silent like cicadas in winter. The thoughts that had just popped up in their minds were instantly gone.
...
At the same time, Lee Wenyan had already reorganized the team.
"Is everyone here?" Lee Wenyan glanced at the twenty people in front of him.
One of them immediately replied, "Master, apart from some key strongholds, there are still a few people left. They are all here! We can withdraw at any time!"
"Alright! Let's go!" Lee Wenyan let out a long breath.
All these years of hiding and hiding had finally come to an end.
...
Luzhou City, Mo family.
Mo Lingyan received a phone call from Lee Yifann. She found out that Lee Yifann had found someone and was preparing for a feast. She was pleasantly surprised that Lee Yifann needed her help.
"Finally there's news. I thought you had forgotten about me!"
She immediately greeted Mo Bingyuan and said that she would be going to the capital for a few days. She would be back soon and buy a plane ticket to the capital.
She was not the only one who received the invitation. Some of her friends from the past were also invited.
However, due to the special circumstances, after careful consideration, Lee Yifann didn't let Sun Qiang and the others come. Because the Rende Company still needed their protection. If they were to leave for too long... Letting someone take advantage of the situation might bring trouble to the company.
Later, he would hold a feast in Luzhou City and invite Sun Qiang and the others.
The invitations were sent out one after another. Countless families were looking forward to receiving them, hoping that they could receive the invitation. After all, it represented War God's recognition.
