Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Li Baili received an invitation...
Li Baili received an invitation letter.
When he opened it, he saw that the invitation letter said that Penglai was going to hold a banquet and invited him to bring his demon to attend. He had already been arranged to stay in a courtyard, next to the Penglai Sect Master.
"Your Majesty, are you going?" A yellow-eyed demon nearby asked Li Baili.
"Yes." Li Baili nodded.
"Then who should we take with us?" the demon asked with some curiosity and anticipation.
"You come with me," Li Baili looked at him. She didn't care about this matter. Anyway, she only needed to bring one person. She shouldn't need to bring many. "Are you willing to go?"
"I do!" the demon immediately said happily.
"Okay." Li Baili nodded.
At the appointed time, he took the invitation and the demons who decided to go to the banquet together and arrived at the designated location. The place was really decorated with lights and it looked like a banquet was being held.
"Hello, hello, welcome, welcome!" The Penglai disciple at the door rushed over to greet Li Baili as soon as he saw her. Although his face was slightly pale and his expression was stiff, his enthusiasm was genuine.
He had all the necessary manners, but his body movements were intermittent and he seemed a little slow to react.
"Hello!" Li Baili nodded to him.
He said quickly, "How about I take you to the courtyard where I arranged for you to live?"
Li Baili nodded and said, "Thank you!"
He hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Then who came with me?"
The Penglai disciple was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "You can live with me. Our yard is very big, more than enough for two people. There won't be any problem."
"Okay." Li Baili nodded.
The Penglai disciple led Li Baili and the demon to a courtyard. While introducing the courtyard to them, he couldn't help but smile at them and pointed to the side and said, "This is where the Penglai Sect Master lives. It's very close. If you have any problems, you can go directly to him. He's here most of the time."
Li Baili seemed to be thinking: "He is so free?"
The Penglai disciple responded for a moment, then smiled slowly and said, "Not very idle, I'm still quite busy most of the time."
While they were talking, Li Hanshuang walked out.
However, he did not come out of the house, but came out from the road opposite, followed by other Penglai disciples, and it looked like they were on patrol.
When he walked over from a distance, he saw Li Baili standing here at a glance. The people around him hadn't noticed it yet. They only felt that there were some people standing at the gate of the yard in the distance. They looked like guests who had just arrived not long ago.
However, ordinary guests do not need to come here, because as everyone knows, the two courtyards here, one belongs to Li Hanshuang and the other belongs to Li Baili.
The Penglai disciple who is specifically responsible for leading the way could not be unaware of this. In other words, among the people standing here, one is Li Baili, another is a demon, and the remaining one is the Penglai disciple who leads the way.
If Li Hanshuang brought more than one demon, there would probably be even more people here.
As they walked, they reacted and when they realized what had happened, their faces turned pale and they looked at each other. They were not very scared, but they suddenly remembered that a while ago, Li Hanshuang had been a servant to Li Baili, and it involved a disciple from Penglai. The trial was over, and the punishment was not light.
They inexplicably felt a sense of grief over the loss of a rabbit. Although they knew in their hearts that they might not act like the punished Penglai disciple, they were all disciples and could not help but remain indifferent.
They were originally heading towards Li Baili, but their speed was getting slower and slower, and it seemed like they didn't want to move forward.
Li Hanshuang was still standing at the front of the crowd. After he stopped, he looked straight at Li Baili. Naturally, the people behind him stopped as well and stopped moving forward.
The disciple who led the way didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked around, then quietly took two steps to the side, moving away from the center of the incident so as not to block the sight of Li Baili and Li Hanshuang.
The disciples looked at each other.
When the Penglai Sect Leader meets the Demon Island Master, there is no need for greetings before the contract is signed. He can just take action. But now that the contract has been signed and he has personally sent an invitation to the Island Master to attend the banquet, it would be extremely rude to take action. It is really inappropriate.
The leader of Penglai Sect had only two choices. Either turn around and leave. Considering his status and the grudge they had in the past, no one would blame him too much.
Either walk up and say hello. He has said hello before anyway. It's just that he feels uncomfortable in his heart. It doesn't matter if it's on his face. Everyone has seen it and won't have any objections.
I just don’t know which one the Penglai Sect Master is going to choose.
Since he didn't leave immediately, I'm afraid he will choose the second one.
But the second one was much more bloody than the first one, and an accident could easily happen if one was not careful. It was better for them to stay away from it, otherwise, if a fight broke out, they would not have time to run away.
While they were in a stalemate here, Li Qinglian slowly led people over from not far away.
Although it was confirmed at the meeting that he would live in the same courtyard with Li Hanshuang, he was actually responsible for surveillance and took the nectar at the end of the meeting.
Things have to be done, but before Li Baili comes, he also has to work and can't always follow behind Li Hanshuang.
Because to Blackbeard, that was meaningless. He did not make such a request, so Li Qinglian naturally did not do it. Otherwise, it would be like looking for trouble for no reason, which would be too tiring.
He was wondering what was going on when he saw a group of people standing still from afar. After he sent them away and walked closer, he saw Li Baili and Li Hanshuang standing opposite each other. He was startled.
When did you two meet? How come I don't know anything? I've been on this island the whole time! How come there's no news? Didn't anyone inform me?
Wouldn't that be considered a dereliction of duty? I won't give back what I have received! Should I leave now to inform others and prepare a more grand reception, or should I go up?
Li Baili probably doesn't like the grand reception etiquette. He was not used to it before. Moreover, having more people is not necessarily a good thing. There were many people last time, but both of them looked unhappy.
What's more, people are already here, and preparing the ceremony later is a bit like trying to close the fold after the horse has bolted, which makes it seem like they neither take it seriously nor are busy at the same time.
Let’s go up.
Li Qinglian hesitated for a while, then took two steps at a time and walked over.
When he walked over, the two men still didn't speak, but their faces didn't look good. They just stared at each other, as if they were about to fight.
The others exchanged glances quietly.
Are they really going to fight soon? I feel a little scared! Should we run? Will running now attract their attention? It shouldn't be too much, right?
Li Qinglian walked over and saw this. She felt that they actually didn't know what to say, so they were just standing there in a stalemate. As time went on, there was nothing to say. She had no choice but to stay there, but she couldn't just leave. It was too weird that she didn't leave before, so she had to leave now. She also felt like she had lost. It was not good.
Li Qinglian looked to the left and then to the right, then smiled and took a step forward to walk between them, and asked tentatively, "What are you two doing?"
Li Hanshuang almost said it had nothing to do with you, but he came to his senses immediately and realized that Li Qinglian was here to help. His expression was still very bad. After all, it was not something that could be adjusted in an instant. He said coldly, "I would like to invite the owner of the Demon Island to compete with me. How about you be a witness?"
Li Qinglian was stunned for a moment.
You two really want to fight? I'll be a witness? You don't want me to die, do you? If you fight, the aftermath will kill me if you don't control it! Do you really want me to be a witness?
You don't think I'm going to kill you to silence you because I discovered your intentions? No!
The others looked at each other.
Great, we don't have to be witnesses, we can run away! Fight as much as you want! As long as you can't hit the house or our heads, you can do whatever you want!
They controlled themselves and tried hard not to show any joy on their faces.
"I think it's good," Li Baili said to Li Qinglian with a smile, "Don't worry, we won't do anything to you."
His last words made Li Qinglian shudder all over.
Li Qinglian smiled awkwardly and said, "Peace is the most precious thing. You two should control yourself, okay? Otherwise, we will set up a special venue for you next time, and we can fight then."
We invited people to a party, but what would happen if you two actually started fighting? If others knew about this, they would think we were not inviting people to a party, but to a fight!
What if other people who come to the party also want to fight with us? Although this possibility is really small, it is better to try your best to prevent it. If everyone fights, it will be a big deal!
Can we do other things? What if there are casualties? What if someone takes advantage of the situation? What if important items are lost? We should control this kind of thing!
I now believe that you two really have a grudge against each other! You don't have to act so hard in front of me, right?
Li Qinglian glanced around as she spoke. Everyone else lowered their heads and looked at each other, their eyes flickering with joy that they hadn't concealed. They didn't care about much else and just wanted to leave.
Li Qinglian really wanted to hold his forehead at that time. It seemed that everyone still believed that Li Baili and Li Hanshuang were more likely to have a grudge against each other than love.
I don't know how Blackbeard, after hearing the rumors, could have believed that Li Hanshuang and Li Baili had an unusual relationship in such an environment, and even had to make a fuss at the meeting and demand this and that.
Could it be that everyone was just talking casually and he was the only one who took it seriously? When I thought of this possibility, I found it hard to hold back.
"In that case," Li Hanshuang nodded, expressionless, staring at Li Baili and said, "We'll discuss again after the banquet."
