Chapter 179 Reuniting with the Courtesan at the Engagement Banquet



Now things are a bit tricky. If we can't get rid of this courtesan, other families won't dare to covet the Liu family, and Xia Tianqiong won't be able to find someone to take the blame.

Therefore, we must eliminate the courtesan!

On the welcoming stage, after the courtesan finished her opening remarks, the engagement ceremony began.

The engagement ceremony is much simpler than the wedding ceremony. It involves exchanging gifts, signing a marriage certificate, the groom putting a ring on the bride's finger, and then both sets of parents go on stage to say a few words. The engagement ceremony then concludes.

Next came the serving of food, followed by eating and drinking, with various people exchanging ideas, making it somewhat like an exchange meeting.

Especially when members of several ancient families get together, they may appear to be chatting and laughing, but in reality, they are all testing each other.

They initially had some reservations about the Liu family, but now that they see Li Gui is doing well, they no longer have those reservations.

After the ceremony, the courtesan in red walked to the reception table and left directly through the side door.

Chu Xu glanced at him and said to Mo Beihan beside him, "I'm going to the restroom."

He then got up and left his seat, exiting through another door.

Upon arriving at the restroom, Xia Tianqiong emerged from the mirror space and transformed into the appearance of a hotel waitress.

"Wait for me here."

He gave a brief instruction and then instantly teleported away.

There is a lounge next to the banquet hall.

The courtesan in red pushed open the door and entered, followed by Liu Zhengyang.

"Can I go back now?"

"Please rest here for a while and stay until the banquet is over. If any unexpected events occur, we may need your help."

Liu Zhengyang bowed slightly, his expression unusually respectful.

The courtesan in red nodded, said nothing more, and then sat down in a chair.

Liu Zhengyang then turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Less than a minute later, Xia Tianqiong suddenly emerged from the shadow of the red-clad courtesan.

He held a red veil in his hand, intending to cover the other person's head with it.

But the courtesan in red reacted with unusual speed, noticing him even before he had fully emerged from the shadows.

He lunged forward instantly, leaving the chair.

"Who goes there? How dare you ambush me?"

The courtesan in red opened her mouth in anger, but her voice was no longer a sweet female voice, but a rough male voice.

Xia Tianqiong held the red veil in her hand and paused for a moment.

I thought to myself, this courtesan is definitely a fake!

He didn't say anything, but raised his hand and threw out the red veil.

When the fake courtesan saw what it was, her expression changed drastically. "How is this possible..."

Before she could finish speaking, a red veil was placed over her head, and she forgot to even try to escape.

It's also possible that it knew it couldn't escape at all.

"Ah, let me go! I'm not the red-clad courtesan of the Liu family. You've killed the wrong person. Let me go!"

The fake courtesan was in so much pain that she was running around the room, trying to explain herself and get Xia Tianqiong to let her go.

Xia Tianqiong didn't bother with it. What was happening here would soon be sensed by the ghost hunters in the banquet hall, and they had to deal with this evil ghost as soon as possible, or take it away.

Otherwise, if so many ancient families attacked him together, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

He took out a bronze mirror and used its power to swallow everything, intending to absorb the fake courtesan.

The result was no good; the opponent was not yet seriously injured and still had the ability to fight back.

The courtesan in red was tortured for a while, and her body was severely damaged, leaving her powerless to resist before she was sucked in.

This process might take a few minutes, but he doesn't have a few minutes right now.

The people in the banquet hall will arrive in less than a minute.

Just as he had guessed, when the fake courtesan was covered by a red veil and emitted intense fluctuations of ghostly power, the ghost hunters in the banquet hall immediately sensed it.

At first, I was really hesitant and didn't understand what it meant.

But the fluctuations became increasingly violent, like two fierce monsters fighting.

The members of the ancient family exchanged glances, all feeling that something was amiss. They got up from their seats and ran towards the direction from which the fluctuations were coming from.

Liu Zhengyang's expression changed drastically, and he was the first to rush over.

But when he arrived at the door of the lounge, the fluctuations of the Netherworld power suddenly disappeared.

He pushed the door open abruptly and found the room in complete disarray, with no one in sight.

The courtesan in red has vanished!

Liu Zhengyang stood there, stunned, with a bad feeling.

The Liu family is doomed!

Xia Tianqiong had already teleported back to the bathroom with the fake courtesan.

He just threatened the fake courtesan, saying he would spare her life if she gave up resisting.

So the other party gave up resisting and was sucked into the mirror space.

As for what to do next, that depends on whether this guy tells the truth.
