What Wang Ruyun said makes a lot of sense.

Ye Feng had never met Gu Tianshan, the city lord of Ice Dragon City, nor had he ever had any dealings with him.

Therefore, Gu Tianshan should not know about Ye Feng.

But now Gu Tianshan has sent two copies of the invitation, specifically inviting Ye Feng to attend this birthday banquet. It would be strange if there wasn't something unusual about this.

But so what?

Even knowing there was something strange about it, Ye Feng had nothing to be afraid of.

It would be truly unreasonable for a dignified Returning Void Realm Immortal to be afraid of a mere peak Transcendent Realm cultivator!

“Brother Wang, you don’t need to persuade me anymore. I have my own plans,” Ye Feng said.

Since Ye Feng had already said that, Wang Ruyun had no choice but to shut her mouth and stop trying to dissuade her.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Feng and Wang Xiaohai got off the carriage and stood in front of the gate of the Ice Dragon City Lord's Mansion.

Moreover, it wasn't just Ye Feng who came; Wang Feihu and Wang Feilong also came, along with Bai Yue and Xuanbing Fairy.

The two invitations were for Wang Xiaohai and Ye Feng, but the invitations stated that they could bring two accompanying persons.

So Wang Xiaohai brought his two sons with him, while Ye Feng brought Bai Yue and Fairy Xuanbing with him.

Even if the invitation didn't have such a note, Ye Feng would still bring Bai Yue and Xuanbing Fairy here. He had a premonition that attending this birthday banquet would help Xuanbing Fairy recover her memories!

As a Human Immortal in the Returning to the Void Realm, Ye Feng's intuition is extremely sharp; this intuition can even be regarded as a certain degree of foresight into the future!

"So this is the City Lord's Mansion. It looks quite impressive," Bai Yue remarked, clicking her tongue in admiration.

Wang Feilong laughed and said, "Of course it should be grand. After all, it is the city lord's mansion of Ice Dragon City, representing the face of the entire Ice Dragon City. How can it not be grand?"

“That’s true,” Bai Yue nodded.

"Time's almost up, let's not dawdle here, let's go inside."

After saying this, Wang Xiaohai led the way.

After checking the invitation, Wang Xiaohai and Ye Feng's group entered the city lord's mansion and headed towards the inner courtyard.

Although we encountered guards from the city lord's mansion several times along the way, nothing unexpected happened, and the guards from the city lord's mansion did not do anything condescending.

As soon as you enter the main hall on the first floor of the city lord's mansion, a noisy atmosphere greets you.

A large number of guests had already gathered there, all of whom were prominent figures in Ice Dragon City.

The Zhao family members naturally came as well!

The Zhao family members who appeared here were Zhao Feihong, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Chengang, who had fought with Wang Feilong that day, and Zhao Zixuan!

As soon as Wang Xiaohai appeared, everyone in the hall looked at him and came over to greet him.

Wang Xiaohai gave only brief responses to the guests, but then strode over to Zhao Feihong.

"Zhao Feihong, it's been many years. How have you been?" Wang Xiaohai asked with a hearty laugh.

Zhao Feihong looked Wang Xiaohai up and down a few times and asked, "Old ghost Wang, have your injuries healed?"

"Thanks to you, my injury has indeed healed!" Wang Xiaohai said with a smile.

Zhao Feihong snorted coldly: "Your injuries were able to heal entirely thanks to this Master Sun, right?"

Zhao Zixuan and Zhao Chen looked towards Ye Feng together.

Zhao Chengang's expression didn't change much, but Zhao Zixuan's was different.

She glared at Ye Feng with hatred, her teeth clenched tightly, as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh off him.

Ye Feng, of course, noticed Zhao Zixuan's hateful gaze.

But he didn't take it to heart at all.

To him, Zhao Zixuan was nothing more than a minor, insignificant character; he wouldn't even give such an ant a second thought.

“Old Zhao, you’re right. My injuries were indeed healed by this Master Sun.”

"Master Sun refined a Dragon Blood Qi-Boosting Pill for me, and my injuries were completely healed. Hahaha, Old Ghost Zhao, are you very disappointed?"

As soon as Wang Xiaohai finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at Ye Feng.

"Who exactly is this Master Sun?"

"I heard that he is a seventh-grade alchemist who recently joined the Wang family, and he was the one who healed the Wang family patriarch's injuries."

"Really?"

"He looks so young and ordinary, yet he's a seventh-grade alchemist?"

"Don't you understand such a simple principle as 'you can't judge a book by its cover'? Besides, martial artists have such long lifespans that they can't be measured by common sense."

The surrounding guests were talking animatedly.

Night Wind heard their conversation, of course, but he didn't care at all.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a square face came down from upstairs.

He wore a smile, yet exuded an air of authority without being angry, and emanated the aura of a superior.

It's obvious without even thinking that this middle-aged man is Gu Tianshan, the city lord of Ice Dragon City!

Two young men were with Gu Tianshan. The one on the left was Gu Xuefeng, who had a conflict with Ye Feng, while the one on the right looked very similar to Gu Xuefeng, but he looked pale and seemed to be suffering from some kind of serious illness.

Ye Feng opened his all-encompassing golden eyes and took a look, immediately discovering that the young man's soul was injured!

Ye Feng glanced at Zhao Zixuan again, only to see that Zhao Zixuan's beautiful eyes were fixed on the young man without blinking, and a blush had appeared on her face.

I see!

Zhao Zixuan was so eager to get the Soul-Restoring Grass, not for herself or for the Zhao family, but for that young man!

"Who is that sickly guy?" Night Wind asked.

Wang Feilong immediately explained, "He is Gu Tianshan's eldest son, Gu Xuefeng's elder brother, Gu Xueqiu."

The night wind suddenly realized.

Wang Feilong and Wang Feihu seemed to have figured something out as well, saying, "It seems the Zhao family and the Gu family are getting closer and closer."

"Perhaps their two families will soon become in-laws!"

It seems that Wang Feilong and Wang Feihu have already seen through the relationship between Zhao Zixuan and Gu Xueqiu, and have also connected it to Zhao Zixuan's attempt to steal the Soul-Restoring Grass.

After all, Zhao Zixuan's behavior was so obvious that anyone with eyes could see it, let alone Wang Feilong and Wang Feihu.

"Thank you all for coming to my birthday banquet..."

After coming downstairs, Gu Tianshan greeted the guests with a smile.

The guests in the hall all crowded around him, showering Gu Tianshan with compliments and flattery.

Gu Tianshan gave them a brief greeting and then walked over to Wang Xiaohai and Zhao Feihong.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Wang, we are reunited today."

"It's been more than a decade since we last met. Hope you're doing well."

Gu Tianshan said with a smile, giving people a sense of friendliness.

But how could someone who could become the city lord of Ice Dragon City be a person without cunning? Most of the enthusiasm he showed was intentional!
