Chapter 402 Sir, This Must Be a Test for Us
"Sister! My dear sister! When you took my stamp collection, I was quite cooperative. I didn't even make a squeak!"
Kong Pu knelt down in front of Hong Menglian with a plop.
Xia Tian on the side was more direct, he even knocked his head down.
Hong Menglian put her left hand on her waist and raised her right hand holding the talisman above her head.
What made the two half-immortals beg so humbly?
That was naturally an invitation from Lord Li from Tianxu Tower!
"See it! Did you see it! What did I say! Mr. Li thinks highly of me! He thinks highly of me! He directly asked me to contact someone! Do you understand the value of this?" Hong Menglian showed off the talisman in her hand like a peacock.
What does it mean to be proud of oneself? This is what it means to be proud of oneself!
The depression she felt a few days ago because Li Yanmo told Kong Pu and Xia Tian that there was a mastermind behind the Immortal Palace but did not tell her disappeared instantly, and she just felt very happy.
Although Li Yanmo only said one sentence, that light sentence represented so many things, especially at this moment, the gold content of those two words "ju" was so high, it was almost 24k pure gold.
But the qualification for this gathering was given to Hong Menglian, so they had to accept it. Anyway, they were beaten to their knees and beg for mercy by Hong Menglian when they were young. There were no outsiders here, so it was not shameful.
What's more, after this gathering, everyone in their sect will most likely be protected by Tianxu Tower, so it wouldn't be a big deal to kowtow to Hong Menglian for the sake of their sect's descendants.
Seeing Kong Pu and Xia Tian being so sensible and flexible, Hong Menglian didn't feel relieved. She still liked the way Kong Pu and Xia Tian pointed at her and asked her to guess who was not invited. It was a pity that these two had no intention of recovering.
Feeling unsatisfied, Hong Menglian led Kong Pu and Xia Tian to find Lie Xuan and Tian Qiong who were calculating the accounts of the sect's expenses during the Yanzhou expedition. Hong Menglian was about to speak to induce the two to be arrogant, but she didn't expect that the two of them would just start calling her sister in a gorgeous manner.
Hong Menglian was stunned for a few seconds and then immediately turned to look at Kong Pu and Xia Tian, thinking that these two people had tipped off the secret, but these two people also had confusion and regret on their faces. It was obvious that they also wanted to see Lie Xuan and Tian Qiong's arrogance fall.
Because Tian Qiong stuttered, Lie Xuan had to explain, "The invincible swordsman Cheng Yuejie is a disciple of Qingshan Sect. More than ten years ago, she was only halfway to the level of swordsmanship. But now, she can use her swordsmanship to make those sword masters feel ashamed at the Sword Questioning Ceremony. Even Feng Ling didn't draw his sword."
"Such a high profile is not in line with Lord Li's usual style. Obviously, this is also a deliberate move by Lord Li in order to force the Immortal Palace to respond. In fact-"
"Master Li's move is indeed brilliant. In addition to the six sects that Dou Zong tested during the Yanzhou expedition, four more sects have sent invitations to Qingshan Sect."
"Those ten super sects seem to be conveying goodwill to Qingshan Sect, but in fact they are testing Master Li."
"Of course, given Lord Li's status, there is no way he would lower his status, so he will definitely use some method to severely hit the Immortal Palace."
Having said this, Lie Xuan suddenly paused, looked at Hong Menglian, and after a long silence, he helplessly exhaled through his nose.
"It seems that Lord Li asked you to pass on a message."
Kong Pu and Xia Tian also showed the same expression and snorted through their noses.
"What do you mean by passing on a message? I'm telling you, don't try to sow discord! Master Li has never spoken to me in such a tone!"
Hong Menglian became anxious and took out the talisman to replay what Li Yanmo had said to her.
"Did you hear that? Master Li said please help me! Do you understand?"
Hong Menglian was very anxious, but the other four praised Li Yanmo's tone of voice.
"He holds a high position in Tianxu Tower, and he has fooled Dayu and Tianxu Tower with just one move of chess. This kind of person speaks without any arrogance, neither humble nor overbearing, which is terrifying and respectable!"
People who are cunning are scary, people who are strong are scary, but the scariest people are those who are steady and cautious and are not proud of their achievements. Such people are almost impossible to make mistakes, and every step they take is extremely rational.
"Okay, it's time for us to go find Taoist Hunyuan and Taoist Tianxuan."
"Let's go, let's go."
Seeing that the four people were about to leave after talking to each other, Hong Menglian was a little anxious. Just as she was about to speak, Kong Pu suddenly interrupted her, "Master Li trusts Master Hong so much, Master Hong will definitely not act on impulse and betray Master Li's trust."
Xia Tian interrupted, "I think I'm very suitable to pass on messages."
Hong Menglian swallowed her words and said, "Do you still need to tell me about this?"
The five people acted covertly in a mighty manner. When they found Taoist Hunyuan and Taoist Tianxuan, they were playing chess. When they saw no one showed up, neither of them showed any surprise and simply got up to clean up the chessboard.
The expression as if they had known it all along made Hong Menglian very sad. She was just pretending a little, but the other four people didn't give her any chance at all.
"The six of us alone are definitely not enough," Kong Pu said, "Lord Li took the initiative to expose himself to us and let us know the secret of the mastermind behind the Immortal Palace, and signaled us to incite the super sect to [attack and kill] Xiao Yun."
"Screening all the super sects that have ties to the Immortal Palace is one of the goals, but the real goal is for us to convince other super sects."
"Mr. Li invited us to a gathering this time, most likely because—"
Before Kong Pu could finish his words, Hong Menglian interrupted and said, "She asked me to invite someone."
"...Okay, okay, Lord Li, you are bothering to invite people probably to see how many super sects you have managed to win over and convince in this operation. So how many trustworthy super sects have you won over?" Kong Pu rolled his eyes, magnified the problem, and then bounced it back to Hong Menglian.
Hong Menglian was so busy emphasizing class that she completely forgot about this and was caught off guard. Fortunately, Hong Menglian was thick-skinned and said, "We are a team. Besides, it is not appropriate for me to come forward."
Kong Pu rolled his eyes and said, "I think the Beast Taming Sect is feasible. According to Xiao Zhong, Lord Li once did business with a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect."
Lie Xuan rubbed his temples, thought for a while and then added, "After entering Yanzhou, the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect went fishing for magma fish and didn't even participate in the Yanshen Festival."
"feasible."
"You can definitely try to say it."
"How is the Sword Sect? Although the Sword Sect sent its own genius, he went to Yanzhou to sell watermelons. I heard that he is still in Yanzhou and seems to be planning to grow watermelons in Yanzhou."
“Not bad—”
Seeing that everyone else had their own candidates, Hong Menglian became a little anxious. "What's going on with your sect? Didn't they say they would just observe the situation and lend a hand when necessary?!"
"Would you like us to give you one?"
"Okay, I have no problem with that."
