Chapter 220 People Arriving at the Banquet

Now that the goal has been set, there's no need to hesitate any longer.

Upon receiving the news, Su Yu immediately sent someone to take Bai Yan to the Zhao family's territory to steal the white owl before the exchange meeting began. At the same time, she also ordered the complete destruction of all information related to the evil methods the Zhao family had devised, as well as information about the perpetrators who knew about them.

Incidentally, the reason the Zhao family was able to kidnap the white owl so quickly and accurately was because the buyer was their business partner.

As for how furious and panicked the Zhao family would be when they discovered that their hard work had been reduced to ashes, Su Yu could only tell his subordinates to "clean up the mess properly" and that was all.

Anyway, the Zhao family didn't dare to make a big fuss about this shady matter.

As for the invitation, now that everything is settled, there's no need for the Zhao family to worry about it anymore.

Two days after the white owl was brought back, Su Yu figured that the person should have rested enough, so he prepared to collect his reward and also investigate the source of the white owl's pill formula.

In the Ink Pavilion, which is the office space provided to the Ghost Lord, White Owl and White Swallow were brought here this afternoon by the training camp manager.

The steward kept nagging, "Our esteemed master is doing well. Just be respectful and follow the rules, and don't offend him..."

Upon arriving at the destination, he stopped muttering and knocked on the door to announce that the messenger had arrived.

Inside the room, Su Yu finally managed to get up from the couch he used for his afternoon nap. He cast a cleansing spell on himself to make himself look like a ghost master and be presentable before clearing his throat and letting the two white birds in.

After the two entered, Su Yu calmly sized up the young girl who possessed his sister's pill formula, and went straight to the point: "White Owl, Bai Yan should have already told you the conditions for Ghost Market to save you?"

The white owl nodded: "Yes, I am willing to serve the Ghost Market."

Su Yu nodded, then asked, "So, how did you obtain Miss Mu's pill formula?"

This time, wariness appeared in the white owl's eyes, and she subconsciously took half a step back: "I have never met Miss Mu before. I obtained it by accident, and I only know these few pill formulas."

Su Yu looked at her quietly.

The white owl remained silent.

"Okay, you can go back after signing the contract and get some rest." Su Yu chuckled and placed the contract on the table, gesturing for her to take it.

The girl was probably lying, but as long as it was confirmed that she was protecting Miss Mu, that is, Su Yao, Su Yu had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

The white owl swiftly signed the contract and took its leave with the white swallow.

The next important thing is the exchange meeting with other forces.

The specific rules and regulations have been discussed and agreed upon by the leaders. Su Yu's presence is mainly to keep things under control. She is responsible for sitting in the main seat and exerting some pressure to let other forces know that their Ghost Market really has such a powerful Ghost Lord. They should think twice before trying to cause trouble.

On the day of the exchange meeting, most of the leaders had arrived, and then they hurriedly sent someone to inform the Ghost Lord that they could enter.

According to these leaders, they are the Ghost Lords of the Ghost Market, and their identities are the highest and their strength is the greatest. It is only in accordance with their identities that they appear last.

Su Yu then cooperated with their arrangements.

At the banquet, the host, who was seated at the head of the table, finally arrived late, and the representatives of various forces below him all looked up and scrutinized him carefully.

This ghost lord was tall and slender, like a young man, but he wore a mask that covered his entire face, and his cultivation aura was also well concealed. However, the heavy pressure emanating from him was enough to confirm his identity.

So most people glanced at it and then looked away, so as not to offend the ghost master.

On the roof beam, the black cat that the Demon Abyss Spirit had transformed into swished its tail, making sure that Su Yu could hold his own even in her amnesiac state. It then lay down with peace of mind, with a small ball of light under its two front paws, which was none other than System Xiao Qi.

The villains arrived really quickly.

It had no choice but to leave temporarily.

Xiaoqi is still struggling:

The black cat tightened its grip with its paws, its eerie green eyes lowered.

Demon Abyss chuckled:

Xiaoqi paused, unable to refute it.

Having said that, it stopped paying attention to the small system and turned its eerie green gaze to the hall under the roof beams.

What is it that allows life to unequivocally confirm its existence?

Perhaps it's an experience, a memory, or the self.

Leaving aside Su Yu, who suffered amnesia due to the claws of the demon, the other demons and humans also need to find themselves quickly.

Below, after the formal discussions concluded, was a banquet held to welcome guests from various factions.

Spiritual food and wine were served, and there were also many song and dance performances.

In the main seat, Su Yu rested her right arm on the armrest and her palm on her cheek. Her posture was not very proper, but it was not too impolite either.

With this damn full-face mask blocking his mouth, how is he supposed to eat something elegantly and without looking disheveled?

It's so pathetic and terrible that he couldn't eat anything at the banquet he hosted!

Wow, it smells even better than the Cui family's food and the inn's food, but it should taste better than any of the stuff from the apocalypse.

He remembered that he had come to the Ghost Market to find out his identity, and when he found out that he was the Ghost Lord, he was not very surprised.

...Why don't he come over for another meal after things are resolved?

Su Yu made her decision while lost in thought.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the murmurs of praise and flattery at the banquet, there were also whispers of private discussions about how to further divide the spoils.

But the ghost lord at the head of the table always gets into their conversation.

Those who wanted to go further wanted to know if this seemingly young ghost lord had a spouse, disciples, and so on.

After the dance troupe in the center finished their performance, a few people went to pour wine for the guests and their own ghost master and helmsman.

In fact, this dance troupe also belongs to the Ghost Market's operations department. They are best at infiltration and assassination, as well as preventing disturbances at banquets, auctions, and other venues held by the Ghost Market.

The subordinate assigned to pour wine for the Ghost Lord stepped forward to Su Yu's side, smiled at the Ghost Lord who obviously wouldn't remove his mask to drink the wine, and began to pour the wine symbolically without making any extra movements, to show that their Ghost Lord was enjoying himself with all the guests.

The banquet atmosphere was joyful and harmonious.

With an extremely abrupt sound, the door opened.

Then the noise came in from outside.

The music stopped.

"Stop! Who are you people?!"

"Your Majesty! Someone has trespassed!"

Liao, the leader, and the other leaders' eyes immediately darkened, but because of the presence of people from other forces, their expressions did not fluctuate much, and they all maintained a composed and steady demeanor.

The intruder strode into the hall and even bowed to the Ghost Lord with a semblance of politeness: "We are subordinates of Your Excellency Feng. We have urgent matters to discuss with you. Our unauthorized intrusion was a last resort. We hope Your Excellency will forgive us."

Since this is the spirit realm, it's best not to use the term "Demon Lord" lightly.

They were indeed in a hurry. If finding the Ghost Lord was slower than the Demon Lord finding that unknown being, the Demon Lord would probably relegate them both to the category of useless people.

However, this dazzling appearance is mainly because the Ghost Lord has almost completely severed ties with the Demon Palace. The Demon Palace's status needs to be properly maintained, and applying appropriate pressure is also beneficial for their own negotiations.

As for the remaining spirits present, they are like ants and are not important.

He slowly raised his hand: "Continue playing the music, continue dancing."
