The opera troupe that was hired with money was the most obedient.
They are not monks and cannot understand these messy things at all. They just need to complete their own jobs.
The money that the Yuxu Sect used to invite them here was enough to support them for several years.
They do whatever the master says.
The gongs and drums sounded again, and the stage was set up again.
But this time, no one cared what they were singing.
The number of people who were still able to maintain their composure at the table could be counted on one hand.
The Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace was so surprised that he forgot to breathe, and his face turned purple from holding his breath. He only gasped for air when he was accidentally bumped into by someone next to him.
He found something to cover himself as quickly as possible, took out a pen and paper from his sleeve and started writing down things frantically, fearing that he would miss any explosive material.
He thought the stories he made up were outrageous enough, but compared to Sect Master Yan, they were still immature.
What does he write?
Murong Xuanlang, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be frozen, his eyes fixed on Gu Xingyun, not knowing what he was thinking.
The female cultivators of Yuehua Pavilion, who were originally chatting and laughing, shifted their attention away from Yan Huailiu's face for the first time and kept looking at his neck.
Fairy Fei Miao was the only relatively calm person in the whole audience.
She focused more on Baili Changhuan and quickly noticed the golden chain wrapped around his wrist.
The other sects became more cautious, fearing that they would lose their lives here today.
Yan Huailiu is really crazy.
He actually dared to openly announce in front of everyone that he was having an affair with his apprentice.
There is no concealment at all!
She even tied her hair up, afraid that others would not see it!
In the corner, Ling Xinghua stood there at a loss, covering the eyes of his two junior brothers with his hands.
Although he was a novice, he had heard about it from his fellow apprentices.
I had accidentally come across some idle books in Qianjing Pavilion that were hidden by someone unknown.
He was not a fool and could see that something was wrong with his master and senior brother.
Last night, I wanted to discuss today's banquet with my senior brother, so I waited in front of his door for several hours, but Gu Xingyun never came back.
So that’s how it is. It turns out I stayed overnight at Master’s place.
All that was wrong in the past suddenly became clear at this moment.
No wonder, no wonder the eldest brother never came back to live in their courtyard in the past few months.
No wonder the eldest brother hasn’t talked much with them recently and always follows the master.
No wonder he felt something was wrong when he occasionally saw the two of them together.
But…why?
Ling Xinghua couldn't figure it out.
He looked at Yan Huailiu, who had only said one sentence since entering the room and then sat there with his chin supported by one hand, looking at everyone with an indifferent expression. His heart beat inexplicably faster.
Has Master returned to his previous appearance?
"Big Brother..." he almost shouted in a whisper.
Gu Xingyun just looked up at this moment, and their eyes met in the air. Ling Xinghua lowered his head to avoid them.
"Second Brother, what's wrong?" Chang Sui tried to pry his hands open.
Yu Ziheng on the side did the same thing.
Ling Xinghua embraced his two junior brothers and hid in the small room next door before letting go of their hands.
The two junior brothers had just gone to get something and missed the scene of Yan Huailiu and the others entering the door.
Ling Xinghua was afraid that they would overreact, so he could only cover their eyes first.
But now I don’t know how to explain it.
It's impossible to hide here forever. The banquet depends on them to take care of it. It has always been like this.
It has always been like this, but in the past, Gu Xingyun would accompany them and be their backbone...
"Second brother, what's wrong? Why is it so strange outside? I can't hear Palace Master Murong's loud voice anymore." Chang Sui asked curiously.
Ling Xinghua stood at the door, brewing his words: "Today is Master's birthday, so no matter what happens, don't lose your manners, understand?"
"Go out later. No matter what you see, don't be too surprised. Just do what you need to do."
He tried his best to warn his two junior brothers, but Chang Sui persisted in asking, "Second Senior Brother, what's going on? Why are you acting so strangely too?"
…
Outside, Gu Xingyun watched everyone's reactions imperceptibly, and his expression grew colder by the second.
Just take a look, these people are not done yet, right?
He raised his legs and tried to walk around the long table, blocking those sights under the pretext of pouring wine.
But before he could take a step, he was grabbed tightly by Baili Changhuan beside him.
In front of a group of people, Baili Changhuan didn't say anything unpleasant, but just warned him sternly with his eyes.
Then he looked at the audience and snorted coldly, "What? The stage is on my senior brother's face?"
"Or is it that the meal that my Yuxu Sect prepared today is not to your taste, and you all want to eat my senior brother as a dish?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that something was wrong and they all withdrew their gazes, looking around awkwardly.
Baili Changhuan persisted, "I invited you all here to celebrate my senior brother's birthday. Weren't you all smiling happily before he came? Now you look so sullen, are you trying to be unhappy?"
He almost put a knife to those people's necks and forced them to laugh.
The overly familiar lines and tone made Yan Huailiu turn his head to look at him.
The mind floating in the air was pulled back to the body, and for a moment I was a little dazed.
Baili Changhuan gritted his teeth and glared at him, lowering his voice: "What are you looking at! Eat your snack!"
Yan Huailiu suddenly laughed out loud and said something inexplicable: "As expected of you, we are brothers."
