Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 155: 113, Going to a Banquet_3

"Master, the Young Sect Master of Tianding Sect, God Fist Master Tong Hu invites you to attend a banquet tonight at the Xu hour at the Golden Wind and Drizzle Building," he said there's an important matter to discuss!"

Wan Xiaolou handed the invitation to Hou Yuxiao, his expression somewhat excited.

During this time, he had been enjoying boundless glory. With Hou Yuxiao, a Grandmaster as his master, Wan Xiaolou's fame had also been growing. Although his strength was still only at the Opening of the Four Gates, even Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm would not dare to be too presumptuous in front of him. In fact, many people came to flatter Hou Yuxiao, and when that failed, they turned their attention to him.

Heaven and hell are but a thought away. Just one month ago, he was an insignificant disabled martial artist in Yunye County. But today, even major figures like God Fist Master Tong Hu were approachable to him.

If he were not so resolute, the immense change in status and the accompanying sense of vanity might have already led him astray.

Hou Yuxiao opened the invitation and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Disciple has already inquired in advance, Tong Hu seems to have invited many people. Fuwei Escort Agency of Wanyang County, Divine Sound Sect, Qinghu Gang, Pengshan Sect, heads of these four third-rate forces have all been invited. It's said that there are also two Grandmasters like you among them, but what the matter is about, disciple is not clear."

Wan Xiaolou had clearly put some thought into this. Once Hou Yuxiao heard these names, speculation rose in his eyes.

"I will attend the banquet tonight. You go back and rest first, and remember to practice!"

"Yes, Master."

...

The heads of the third-rate forces basically had cultivation at the Dan Embracing Phase, plus including himself, three Grandmasters; with such an assembly, the target definitely wouldn't be the Tongling Blood Demon or the warfare b between two states.

Now there were Yuan Dan Realm experts in the Prefectural City. The five Holy Lands and the two celestial monasteries would surely have other experts. These people must be here for the Tongling Blood Demon or state warfare.

At such a critical juncture, Tong Hu inviting these minor figures could only mean that the target was the imminent matter of the Qinglong Token at the Rakshasa Festival.

Hou Yuxiao didn't ponder for long before he guessed Tong Hu's intent, and a hint of amusement arose in his eyes. These self-proclaimed followers of The Righteous Path should not be drawn to the Qinglong Token, and even if they wanted it, they couldn't show it too openly.

So what pretext had Tong Hu prepared to gather them under...

Upholding justice?

Or to curb the influence of the Qinglong Association?

Hou Yuxiao chuckled lightly, not pondering any further, and went back to the courtyard to focus on advising Wan Xiaolou and the others in their cultivation.

He waited until it was almost the Xu hour before telling everyone to rest earlier, and he himself took up the Ape Demon Staff and went to the banquet alone under the cover of night.

"Senior Ren has arrived, Young Sect Master Tong has been waiting for a long time, please come in!"

As soon as Hou Yuxiao stepped into the building, a servant greeted him with a smile.

This Grandmaster named Ren Feng accepted disciples without regard for their potential; he even took in a cripple like Wan Xiaolou.

The servant who knew this was extremely enthusiastic, hoping that Hou Yuxiao would also favor him, because having him as a master would mean soaring to great heights.

"Hmm, lead the way!"

The servant's face showed a hint of disappointment, but he didn't dare to show it openly and still led Hou Yuxiao to the third floor respectfully. He arrived at the door of an elegant chamber and gently opened it for Hou Yuxiao.

"Young Sect Master Tong, Senior Ren has arrived."

Leaning on his staff, Hou Yuxiao walked in, his aged and feeble appearance immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the room!
