Chapter 309 Banquet (4)
After the disciple left in anger and shame, the sect members who had previously paid attention to them also found excuses to return to the courtyard.
After returning to the house, Xi Jing was quite confused and said, "Whether we can move around is just a small matter. Why would he embarrass us over such a small matter?"
Zhou Qiandan glanced out the window before whispering, "Fourth Senior Sister, you're wrong. Even though this is a small matter, it's enough to make everyone understand Minglan Sect's attitude."
Lu Shaobai also said: "Even if this matter gets out, it is just a mistake made by a sect disciple. If it were us, it would appear..."
Xi Jing pursed her lips and looked at Tao Zi depressedly: "Senior Sister, can't we just endure it like this?"
She shook her head, glanced at Yue Qingya, and said with a smile: "Wait, someone will come to find us."
She was a little confused, but didn't ask any further questions. She waited patiently for the man to come.
Half an hour later, they heard a small commotion outside the yard, which soon returned to silence.
Yue Qingya's eyebrows moved, and he whispered, "Here it comes."
Sure enough, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Qiandan went to open the door and was quite shocked when he saw the person who came. He managed to keep his composure and said respectfully, "Young Master Wang."
Wang Xu nodded and asked, "Where is your senior sister?"
Zhou Qiandan immediately turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "Senior Sister is waiting for you."
When he said this, he raised his voice intentionally or unintentionally.
Wangxu didn't care about his little thoughts and walked in.
Tao Zi stood up and said politely, "Master Wang Shao, I'm sorry to bother you to come over. I really don't know the way."
He smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist Tao is joking."
When Zhou Qiandan heard this, she knew that Wangxu understood the situation, and also knew that he would not fight against Minglan Sect for Yisan Sect, but in this way, the people of Minglan Sect at least would not dare to do it too obviously.
Tao Zi glanced at them, and Xi Jing immediately took Zhou Qiandan and Lu Shaobai out and waited outside the yard.
Wangxu casually cast a spell, making sure no one could hear, before saying, "Fellow Daoist Tao, I'm here because of the baby case. Besides those photos, do you know anything else?"
She smiled and said, "Master Wang, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"How did you find out something was wrong?" Wang Xu paused, then continued, "There's no need to hide it. We all know what's going on with Zhang Qian."
Tao Zi smiled brightly and asked, "Does Sect Master Wang know how to restrain spirit beasts?"
He replied without hesitation, "Spirit Beasts can capture a small amount of spiritual energy and cultivate precious plants. They have low attack power but extremely strong defense. Is this related to the baby case?"
She said casually, "The aliens like to cook it with their children."
Wang Xu's expression changed. Tao Zi continued, "Some of the infant corpses we found were actually pieced together from the corpses of spirit-binding beasts. Aliens wouldn't do such unnecessary things. Young Master Wang, you should understand what I mean. Please go back."
He was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "Fellow Daoist Tao, there are some things that are better left unsaid."
"I understand." She sent the guest away again, "Please go back."
Wang Xu stood up, suddenly looked into her eyes and asked again: "I don't even know about this kind of thing, how did you know it?"
Tao Zi looked at him steadily and said, "When I was young, I almost became a meal for the alien race."
He was speechless, bowed to her and said, "I'm sorry."
After he left, Yue Qingya on the side spoke up: "A Zi, what you just said..."
Tao Zi nodded casually and added, "I can taste the Soul-Binding Beast because they thought I was crying too loudly, so they stuffed its bones into my mouth. It left a deep impression on me."
He remained silent, and one could vaguely guess what happened next.
She didn't want to talk about this anymore. Every time she talked about it, she would think of Qinglan.
When the banquet was about to begin, a disciple of Minglan Sect came to lead the way, and Tao Zi took them out.
After what just happened, no one still paid any attention to them, but no one dared to despise or offend them.
When she arrived at the banquet, many people's eyes passed by her, and many people were watching her secretly.
Tao Zi was very generous and took Xi Jing and the others to sit in their seats. Unlike the close conversations of other sects, there was a large space on both sides of them, which made them conspicuous and visible at a glance.
Zhou Qiandan and Lu Shaobai ate and drank as usual, not disturbed by these gazes at all.
Xi Jing spoke to her senior sister in a low voice and was even calmer.
Tao Zi knew that this was the territory of the Minglan Sect, and there were very few sects like the Chengyi Sect that dared to be enemies with the main peak. Even the Chengyi Sect was doing so because it stood on the side of other peaks.
At this moment, a sect walked past them at an extremely fast speed, as if they were not happy to see them.
Tao Zi looked up and saw that it was an old acquaintance. The clothes of the man on the right were taken off by Zhou Qiandan.
The man noticed Tao Zi's gaze and looked at her gloomily, but did not dare to speak.
She smiled at him and nodded, and his expression suddenly brightened.
After everyone arrived, Xu Qianjia came out and said some polite words that hadn't changed much in a hundred years.
Tao Zi secretly clicked her tongue. This guy didn't even mention the baby case. It was such a big thing, but he didn't even express his opinion at the banquet. I really don't know what he was thinking.
Afterwards, someone began to read the gift list.
When the word Yisanmen was mentioned, many people looked over.
"Yisan Sect, ten spiritual herbs, one hundred spiritual stones, and three magical instruments."
There was a faint sound of laughter coming from the corner, after all, this was not just shabby.
Xi Jing stood up calmly and presented the gift, saying with a smile, "Master Xu, please forgive me. Senior Sister was seriously injured not long ago, and she used a lot of medicinal herbs. We really don't have any good ones left in the sect."
The expressions of the sect that was robbed were extremely interesting, but no one noticed this, and they would not take the initiative to speak out about such things.
Those who were laughing also stopped smiling. When talking about the baby case, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they still had to have the right attitude.
Xu Qianjia smiled and said, "Your senior sister has made great contributions, so there is no need to refuse this gift."
Xi Jing blinked and said seriously, "Master Xu, you are too polite. We still know the most basic etiquette."
It was a normal thing to say, but he felt like he was being ridiculed.
Tao Zi sat steadily in her seat, motionless, and Xi Jing also sat down.
When the gifts were almost all presented, a high platform was raised in the center of the banquet and the competition began.
In this competition, you can choose your own opponent, the emphasis is on learning from each other, and you must stop when you are satisfied.
Everything was quite normal at the beginning. Zhou Qiandan and Lu Shaobai even took the initiative to challenge several disciples from the Punishment Hall, with a 50-50 chance of winning or losing.
Just as Lu Shaobai was about to step down, a clear and beautiful female voice rang out, "Let's decide who's better by painting. Fellow Daoist Tao of Yisan Sect, are you willing to accept the challenge?"
