Chapter 33 The Night Banquet
Chapter 33 The Night Banquet
Youyun Tower is a property directly under the royal family. However, in a place like West Market, the level is definitely not that high, but the advantage is that the building is extremely spacious. Even if 5000 or [-] people enter, it will not be crowded, and it is most suitable for hosting Large banquet.
Today, the hall on the first floor of Youyun Building is occupied by a group of local tyrants from other places to entertain the younger generation of monks in Youdu City.
Xishui Street, where the main entrance is located, had a serious traffic jam due to the influx of too many people at once. Gu Xin and Li Si waited for half an hour before the carriage moved slowly to the gate of Youyun Tower.
In order to maintain order, there were nearly a hundred beautiful female cultivators standing near the gate more than ten meters wide, and the leader was a heroic innate warrior.
All invited guests had to hand over their invitation cards to them for inspection, and they would not be put into the building until their identities were confirmed.
Even if this is inefficient and blocks half of the street, it still has to be done.
Otherwise, if these young people who were entertained today were attacked by a large-scale vicious attack, no one would be able to bear the consequences.
Li Si had been invited earlier, but he had never been interested in these banquets, the invitations had been thrown away, and now he could only enter with Gu Xin.
When the two entered the hall, the banquet had already started for a while, and the long table was full of gourmet melons and fruits, nectar and jade dew, flowers and spirits...
Hundreds of beautiful maids walked back and forth between the tables and cases, constantly arranging and adding food and drinks on the tables, attracting the fiery eyes of many young people.
Although the level of the Youyun Tower is not too high, it is indeed staggering in terms of its scale.
Even though he had seen many large restaurants in his previous life, Li Si was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure.
There are estimated to be more than 2000 people in the hall at the moment, most of them are elites from various schools in Youhuang Kingdom, direct descendants of aristocratic families, children of high-ranking officials, and their female companions.
Among them, the most conspicuous ones are the disciples of the six evil spirits. Their identities can be recognized just from their unique clothing.
Tianmo Sect, Blood Demon Sect, Demon Dragon Palace, White Lotus Sect, Shura Temple, Huajian Sect.
Even though these demonic sects had a lot of enmity with each other, but at this time in Youdu, the various factions could barely maintain the superficial unity, standing together in twos and threes was enough to stagger, and the laughter continued.
In addition to these foreign visitors, about a thousand monks of the younger generation in Youdu also arrived.
Li Si had seen many of these faces before, and some monks who were close to Ziling Palace even took the initiative to greet them.
This kind of gathering of the younger generation of Youhuang Kingdom will be held every three to five years.
It is not only to make the young people familiar, but also to provide a platform for foreign forces to take the opportunity to invest and win over the young elites of Youdu.
Youdu is the capital city of Youhuang Kingdom, the overlord of the north. Although it can be regarded as an independent force, its essence is still centered on the royal family.
Therefore, no matter Youdu King or the Presbyterian Church, they don't care if their internal members are recruited by local forces. This is also a way for them to legally reap benefits for the people below.
However, local tyrants in these places are not fools. Unless they are young people with sufficient potential or status, they will not invest easily.
If you are not sure about the benefits, wouldn't it be more profitable to invest this resource on your own children?
It was also after hearing Gu Xin's introduction of the situation here that Li Sicai patiently followed him through the crowd, chatting with acquaintances while moving towards the front of the hall.
Of course, in addition to the local acquaintances in Youdu, many monks from other places also came to chat.
Compared to Li Si, who doesn't like banquets, Gu Xin can be regarded as half a socialite. Many forces outside Youdu have heard that there is such a number one person in Purple Spirit Palace.
Fortunately, this guy also knew Li Si's temperament, so he didn't introduce him indiscriminately, so that someone didn't get annoyed and left early.
Until the two of them reached the front of the hall, the monks who were active here were either foundation-building or innate, and the few people who were in the Qi refining period were also people with a lot of history.
Originally, with Gu Xin's identity and strength, she was barely able to get involved, but she didn't have much right to speak, and it was quite aggrieved to stay there.
However, he didn't come here alone today. With Li Si, the "little uncle" accompanying him, he naturally had a lot of confidence.
The fact is exactly as he thought, as soon as the two of them entered this area, Ding Wei, the head of the foreign affairs hall in black, walked over with a smile, patted Li Si's arm and said:
"It's really rare. When did you become interested in coming to this kind of occasion?"
After the expansion of the black-clothed crowd, there are more than 2 monks. However, the tasks completed by Li Si's team this year not only ranked first, but also left No.2 by a long way.
Therefore, the high-level people in black are very familiar with Li Si. Even though he has the imprint of the Purple Spirit Palace on his body, few of them regard him as an outsider.
It was also for this reason that even though Ji Ziye's enemies thought this boy was an eyesore, none of them dared to do anything wrong after the first assassination failed.
"Hallmaster Ding was joking, it's fine if you don't go to ordinary banquets, but it's okay to come to this kind of place where it's good for you." Li Si said with a light smile.
After the battle with Heimu, he had already figured out his position. At this moment, facing Ding Wei, who was also in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Li Si was not at all timid.
The intelligence capabilities of the people in black can be ranked among the top five in the entire north. The detailed process of Heimu's pursuit of Li Si was spread among the high-level officials that night.
For the emergence of a fighting genius in their team, both the black-clothed people and Mingyuanwei are very happy.
If he hadn't known that Heimu had failed to steal chickens and ate a lot of rice, people from Mingyuanwei might have come to warn him the next day.
Therefore, Ding Wei, who knew Li Si's strength, didn't feel that the other party was overstepping, but said with a smile:
"If you are really short of cultivation resources, go to Duobaotang and tell them. They will give you what they can, even if they are temporarily lent to you, and you will slowly pay back when your cultivation level improves in the future."
Li Si smiled and said, "If it's really not enough, I won't be polite!"
After all, the people in black belonged to a half-official organization. Even if Duobaotang had a lot of demon blood, Li Si would not go there to borrow it unless he had no other choice.
"Well, I won't bother you, but you should be a little more careful when choosing a partner. It's best not to get involved with those people."
After Ding Wei finished speaking with a smile, he turned and walked in another direction.
In his capacity, the sentence just now was actually very taboo, that is, he was very optimistic about Li Si, so he would risk reminding him.
Fortunately, Li Si was not a naive critic. Even though Ding Wei half-covered what he said, he still understood the meaning of the other party's words.
Although Demonic Dao and Youdu are closely related, it is said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If it weren't for the poor external environment of Youhuang Kingdom and the overt or covert resistance of the other three empires at the same time, many internal conflicts that have been suppressed for a long time may have completely erupted long ago.
Therefore, if Li Si accepted the investment from a certain faction of Demonic Dao, the opinion of him in Youdu would inevitably change.
Even if this change does not appear in a short period of time, it will definitely have a very bad impact on his long-term development.
