After coming out, Axe Demon let the four of them return to the manor to prepare for battle while he went to attend the banquet.
Axe Demon's reputation was too great, and there were too many people who invited him to dinner. He had also declined many invitations, otherwise, if he agreed to all of them, he would probably eat until next year.
More and more people were sending cards to Lu Li. Lu Li went into closed-door cultivation and didn't attend any banquets.
Miss Yi and Gan Lin did not go either. However, Feng Yima had accepted many invitations to banquets. After returning, he did not return to the manor once. He was always outside.
On the third day of cultivation, Lu Li woke up in alarm. He opened the Inhibition Formation. It was Lady Yi with an invitation in her hand. She said, "Young Master Lu, someone wants to invite you to a banquet."
Lu Li put on a bitter smile and said, "Can't you just do it for me?
You know I don't like it. "
"I really can't refuse this!"
Miss Yi shrugged her shoulders and said, "Because the banquet this time is our target, Cloud Kaiyue!"
"Huh?"
Lu Li was surprised. Why would Yun Kaiyue invite him?
He thought that he had made a mistake. Miss Yi smiled and explained, "Don't think too highly of yourself. He didn't invite you alone, but all the top hundred contestants.
Our Young Master Yun is very generous, inviting ninety-nine people in one go. "
"I see!"
Lu Li frowned. What was the point of going to Yun Kaiyue's party?
It was just getting to know a few more people, but he could not observe Yun Kaiyue's killer move, and could not inquire about useful information.
"Forget it, I'm not going!"
Lu Li shook his head and said, "This kind of banquet is boring. I don't like to socialize. Just go."
"I'm not going to such a boring banquet."
Young Lady Yi smiled and threw the invitation card on the ground. She was about to turn and leave when she thought of something at the door. She said, "This time, your Young Lady Qiong and Young Lady Mu will be attending. Oh, right … I heard that Young Lady Yin Qingsi will be attending as well. There are so many beauties. Aren't you moved?"
"Yin Qingsi will go as well?"
Lu Li frowned. This Yin Qingsi shouldn't be the Blind he knew. That being said, the fact that Yin Qingsi would be there still gave him an impulse.
Maybe Yin Qingsi had a treasure that could change her appearance completely?
No matter how much a person changed his appearance, it was difficult to change his eyes. If Yin Qingsi was there, he could see her eyes, and he would be sure that this Yin Qingsi was not the same Yin Qingsi.
"Alright, let's go!"
Lu Li made up his mind. If Yin Qingsi refused to go, he could find an excuse to leave. After all, there were so many people here. It wouldn't matter if he left.
Lady Yi's eyes revealed a hint of resentment. She said, "You really forget your friends when you are in love. Are you in love with Lady Qiong, Lady Mu, or Yin Qingsi?
You changed your mind when you heard they were going? "
"Yes!"
Lu Li grinned and said, "I have my eyes on Yin Qingsi, the number one on the list. If I can marry her, I will close the door and let go of my wife if anyone dares to bully me!"
"Useless ~"
Miss Yi pouted and said, "Then you and Gan Lin can go. I won't be going. It's too boring to be surrounded by a bunch of flies."
"Only beauties have fly waistbands. This proves that you are charming."
Lu Li picked up the invitation with a smile. It was written that it was dusk. It was still early so Lu Li continued to cultivate.
When it was getting dark, he took a bath and went to Gan Lin. Gan Lin received the invitation. He was hesitant at first, but since Lu Li asked him to go, he stood up.
The banquet was to be held in the largest tavern in the City of Chaos. The tavern had more than 100 halls and it was a property of the Saint Origin Hall.
When they went out, they attracted many people's attention. It was hard not to attract attention when only 100 out of tens of thousands of people made it to the next round.
The tavern was not far away. They didn't take chariots or anything like that. They walked there on foot.
There were guards stationed outside the tavern. When they arrived, a steward saw the invitations in Lu Li and Gan Lin's hands. The steward personally led them to a huge palace in the backyard.
At the gate of the castle stood an old man in a splendid robe with three people. When the old man in splendid robe saw Lu Li and Gan Lin, he walked over and cupped his fists, "I am Yun Qian, a patriarch of the Saint Origin Hall. Young Master is entertaining guests inside so he asked me to come and greet you on his behalf. It is an honor to have you here."
Lu Li didn't bother to say such polite words. He didn't say anything. Gan Lin had to go over and exchange some pleasantries. Then, Yun Qian led the two inside.
The palace was splendid. Candles were lit on both sides. It was as bright as day.
The hall was spacious with many white jade tables. At the center, there were 10 white jade tables. On the left and right sides, there were several rows with 45 white jade tables on each side.
The hall was covered with red carpets. The white jade tables were filled with bejeweled fruits. Next to each white jade table was a maid. It was extremely luxurious.
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
When Lu Li and Gan Lin came in, they attracted many people's attention. Many people's eyes glowed when they saw Lu Li. Some even stood up to greet him.
Lu Li hated meaningless greetings. He didn't even look at the others. He walked to a corner and found a white jade table to sit down.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
A hearty laugh came. Yun Kaiyue, who was sitting at the center, stood up and said, "Guys, look who is here.
Our famous God of Massacre from Hell and Young Master Gan Lin, the grandson of Axe Demon! "
Yun Kaiyue walked over. Lu Li had no other choice but to stand. Yun Kaiyue stood in front of Lu Li, cupped his fists and said, "I am surprised that God of Massacre is willing to do me a favor. God of Massacre, please take a seat!"
Yun Kaiyue pointed to the third seat on the left of the center. Lu Li was surprised.
The seats were arranged randomly. The nine seats at the center were the most honorable. Yun Kaiyue had thought highly of Lu Li by letting him sit at the center.
Lu Li cupped his fists and said, "Young Master Yun, you are too kind. I can just sit at the back."
"How can you do that?"
Yun Kaiyue looked around and said, "If you sit at the back, I don't think many people here would dare to sit down.
The God of Massacre has made a mess at the Storm Sea Area and is famous at the Second Heaven. Now, he dares to offer the Black Tortoise Fruit as a reward. Who would not be convinced by such a feat?
God of Massacre, please take a seat. Don't say no. "
"Yes, yes!"
"God of Massacre, don't say no. Please take a seat!"
"The God of Massacre from Hell deserves a seat of honor. If the God of Massacre sits at the back, we will have to stand up."
"That's right. God of Massacre, please take a seat!"
Dozens of people had arrived in the hall. Many of them echoed. Lu Li wanted to insist but he had no other choice but to bow to the crowd.
Then he glared at Young Master Qin who was making a fuss and sat at the third seat at the center.
Even though Gan Lin was the grandson of Axe Demon, he didn't have this honor. But he was also invited to the first row on the left. It was probably because of Axe Demon that he could sit there.
Young Master Qin also sat in the first row on the left. Lady Qiong sat next to him. Lady Mu, on the other hand, had to condescend to the second row.
Lady Mu had made it to the Top 100, but she was one from the bottom. If it were not for the fact that she encountered Lu Li, she would have made it.
After Lu Li sat down, she pouted and glared at him.
