Chapter 1919: Chapter 1915: Clearing Things Up Face-to-Face (First Update)
Hui Tong nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, "You...!"
"What? Wasn’t what I said correct?" Zhang Xiao Yu retorted confidently.
Hui Tong lowered his head with a face full of frustration, "Namo Amitabha, well said, no wonder Senior Brother always warned me to stay away from women, it seems he’s truly not lying to me!"
"Hey, what are you mumbling about?" Zhang Xiao Yu asked.
"Ah, it’s nothing, I just suddenly remembered there’s something important I haven’t done, benefactress, farewell!"
With that, Hui Tong made a hasty escape.
Meanwhile, a grand welcoming banquet was being held in one of the pavilions.
The decorations of this pavilion were evidently much more extravagant than those of other sects, showing Shangqing Mountain’s regard for Xiao Tiansha and his group.
Not to mention, the banquet’s standards were unusually high, with not only the Seventh Elder present but also three other elders in attendance.
In addition, upon hearing about this banquet, representatives from major sects also rushed over.
Thus, the welcoming banquet was a grand spectacle, unparalleled in its magnificence.
But very few people could actually meet Xiao Tiansha.
Because the banquet was divided into inner and outer sections, only the truly top-tier geniuses of the sects were qualified to enter the inner section.
At this moment.
Faced with the flattery of this room full of geniuses and accompanied by a beauty, Xiao Tiansha was in high spirits.
"Thank you all for coming, I’ll drink this cup first to show my respect!"
With that, Xiao Tiansha tipped his head back and drained his cup.
The room erupted with voices of admiration.
"The Young Master is truly too courteous!"
"Indeed, he drinks with such boldness!"
Everyone spoke as they also drank in response.
The atmosphere grew increasingly lively as a result.
Everyone took turns toasting Xiao Tiansha, who accepted each toast without exception.
Soon, after a round of drinks, a flush appeared on Xiao Tiansha’s face, and his eyes were tinged with a hint of intoxication.
But the more this was the case, the more he became cheerful, with even his laughter becoming full of vitality and spirit.
This confidence and pressure exuded from the inside out, combined with Xiao Tiansha’s outstanding appearance, made many women present have sparkles in their eyes.
And this naturally made Xiao Tiansha even more proud.
But at this moment, Fu Nianzhi, who had been sitting quietly by the side, suddenly chuckled softly, then leaned over to Xiao Tiansha’s ear and breathed fragrantly, "Young Master, how come I feel like someone is missing from this welcoming banquet?"
"Oh? Who is missing?"
"Hehe, has the Young Master forgotten the Execution God Temple’s Holy Maiden Mu Wushuang, who was so captivated by you at the last Sect Grand Meeting?"
Fu Nianzhi said with a smile, but there was a hint of jealousy in her words.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tiansha was stunned at first, then he laughed.
In the laughter, he glanced at Fu Nianzhi casually, "What? Jealous?"
Fu Nianzhi smiled without saying a word.
Xiao Tiansha simply grabbed her hand.
Fu Nianzhi trembled slightly all over but did not break free, allowing Xiao Tiansha to hold her hand.
Xiao Tiansha was overjoyed.
To know that ever since they left the sect, the two of them had been traveling together, no matter how hard Xiao Tiansha tried to get close, Fu Nianzhi was always distant with him.
Neither cold nor warm, she had a perfect grasp on her level of detachment, leaving Xiao Tiansha with no reason to be angry, forcing him only to silently grit his teeth.
But now, unexpectedly, she actually let him hold her hand this time, it was a huge step forward.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tiansha laughed heartily, "Nianzhi, you don’t need to be jealous, that Mu Wushuang is just an ordinary woman, last time at the Sect Grand Meeting she clung to me tirelessly, I couldn’t be bothered with her."
"Oh? Really? But how come what I heard doesn’t match with what you’re saying, Young Master?"
"What did you hear?"
"I heard..." Fu Nianzhi leaned over and said softly, "it’s that you made Mu Wushuang drunk through planning, only then you succeeded, right?"
Xiao Tiansha’s expression suddenly turned a bit unpleasant, "This... "
Fu Nianzhi chuckled softly, "No need to explain, whether it is or isn’t, it doesn’t matter to me, but I don’t want people to spread things like this outside."
Xiao Tiansha nodded, his eyes turning fierce, "Of course, if anyone dares to spread this nonsense again, I’ll tear them to pieces!"
"Hehe, Young Master, you’re thinking too simply, the more you act like this, the more people will talk."
"Then what should I do?"
"Very simple, at this Sect Grand Meeting, isn’t the Holy Maiden of Execution God Temple here again? You call her over, and publicly sever all ties with her, then others will have nothing to say."
Fu Nianzhi’s smile was like a flower, yet beneath this beautiful smile hid extreme malice.
On hearing this, Xiao Tiansha’s eyes lit up, "Great idea! This time Mu Wushuang came to attend the Grand Meeting, she must be wanting to cling to me, otherwise, given their Execution God Temple, they are nothing but cannon fodder in this Sect Grand Meeting."
"So you should clear things up with her in front of everyone! Don’t you think?" Fu Nianzhi brushed her hair by her ear and said with a smile.
Xiao Tiansha nodded, "Alright, I’ll call her over now!"
"Now? Do you think she will come if you call?" Fu Nianzhi asked with some doubt.
Xiao Tiansha smiled smugly, "Of course, because I have a hold over her, she can’t refuse to come."
With that, Xiao Tiansha casually waved his hand, and a strand of Divine Sense shot into the night sky.
In an instant, this Divine Sense crossed great barriers and directly flew into Mu Wushuang’s sea of consciousness.
Mu Wushuang, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating to conserve her energy for the Sect Grand Meeting in a couple of days, was shocked to the core, then opened her eyes, filled with limitless anger, and her face turned extremely unpleasant.
But just as Xiao Tiansha said, she truly had no choice but to go.
Sighing helplessly, she stood up, tried hard to calm herself, then took a deep breath and walked out of the room.
At this time, Xue An was still in the living room drinking tea.
Upon seeing her, Xue An smiled slightly, "Miss Mu, still not resting at such a late hour?"
Mu Wushuang forced a smile, "I just meditated for a while and felt a bit bored, so I thought I’d go out for a walk!"
Xue An seemed unaware of any unusualness, lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "Oh, then you’d better be careful, it’s late at night, all sorts of demons and monsters might appear!"
Mu Wushuang didn’t have the mind to ponder the meaning of these words, she just nodded, "Mm, I understand."
With that, she lowered her head and hurried away.
After she walked out of the room, Xue An suddenly raised his eyes, looked at her silhouette disappearing into the darkness, smiled silently, then lifted his head and drained his cup of tea.
Although the pavilion where Xiao Tiansha and others resided was in the core area and a bit distant from the pavilion of Execution God Temple, it was a mere instant for Mu Wushuang with her pace.
Standing at the entrance, Mu Wushuang looked at this brightly lit, bustling pavilion, steeled herself slightly, then stepped forward and walked in.
