167 An Invitation to a Banquet
“Now, this reminded me that I can’t treat Qin Huai as an ordinary young man.”
Zhang Haoyue began to reflect on himself. He didn’t get angry from embarrassment because of Qin Huai’s strength. Anger was often the beginning of a person’s failure.
“But cousin, he seems to have taken Elder Erlong as his master. I heard that Elder Erlong has cultivated the concealment of spirit and qi.”
Zhang Haoyue laughed happily at this. He was really amused as he said, “It’s a good thing.”
The concealment of spirit and qi was a method of longevity. It was said that it had the effect of transforming one’s life level and could change one’s entire body.
And Zhang Haoyue was one of the few people who could try to practice the concealment of spirit and qi.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have that talent, and in the entire Nine Dragons sect, there was only one Elder Erlong. Everyone was envious, but there was nothing they could do.
But now, seeing Elder Erlong’s enthusiastic appearance, Qin Huai most likely had this talent. He would wait for that day to arrive.
It was very likely that he would not only be able to take away the ten-patterned bone, but also the bone banner that had been baptized by the concealment of spirit and qi.
At that time, he would most likely possess this talent.
…
Qin Huai was woken up early in the morning and went out with Qingshui.
He looked at the people from the Li family’s courtyard, who were dressed in white and had sorrowful expressions. Before they even saw him, he could already hear the wails of a woman.
Not long after, he saw a middle-aged man walking in front with an expressionless face. Behind him was a large group of people carrying a wooden coffin and holding a portrait and a token.
The person in the portrait was a handsome young man who looked very heroic.
When they passed by Qin Huai’s courtyard, the head of the Li family’s sixth branch, Li Zeming, glanced at Qin Huai.
“Sixth Uncle, my condolences.” Qin Huai cupped his fists.
He did not feel guilty at all. If they wanted to kill him, they had to be prepared to be killed.
The funeral procession reached the end of the Li family’s camp, and Zhang Haoyue and his group were waiting outside.
“Sixth Uncle Li, my condolences.” Zhang Haoyue’s face was full of grief.
“Hmph! My son’s death definitely has something to do with your Zhang family! I should’ve known about your family’s wild ambitions.” Li Zeming’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
“Sixth Uncle Li, I know you’re in pain right now. Buyi is a genius of our Nine Dragons sect, and losing such a genius is a huge loss for our sect. But please believe me, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me.
“I also swear that I will use all my power to find out the real murderer! I will prove my innocence. It’s also to give you and all the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect an explanation!”
Zhang Haoyue’s voice became louder and louder, full and moving.
“My Nine Dragons sect will never allow any disciple to die without knowing the reason. Once we find out who the murderer is, I, Zhang Haoyue, will definitely eliminate him at the risk of my life!”
Zhang Haoyue hammered his chest, which sounded like a drum. It was deafening.
“I believe that time will prove everything.” Zhang Haoyue looked at Li Zeming with sincerity, then bowed deeply to Li Buyi’s plaque.
The woman who was already sobbing couldn’t help but burst into tears again.
Li Zeming looked at Zhang Haoyue, who couldn’t even get up from his waist, and sighed. “If only the Nine Dragons sect was filled with people like you.”
He set off again and left with the group of mourners.
“Oh, Brother Qin.”
Zhang Haoyue stood up and happened to see Qin Huai at the corner of the street. He quickly went up to him.
“Brother Zhang.” Qin Huai sighed. “Brother Zhang’s words just now were deeply rooted in my heart.
“Even though it’s all from the bottom of my heart, there’s no lack of pleasantries. I don’t want to see the conflict between the Zhang and Li families worsen because of this matter,” Zhang Haoyue said sincerely, his face full of pity.
He added, “Brother Qin, you and I have to work hard on our cultivation and strive to be able to have a say in our respective families as soon as possible to complete our dreams.”
“I’ll try my best.” Qin Huai nodded.
“By the way, this is the dragon raising pill that I prepared for Brother Qin. It can make the white dragon even purer. It’s the most popular item in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion for the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect,” Zhang Haoyue said as he handed over two bottles of dragon raising pills.
“Thank you, I’ll accept them…” Qin Huai smiled and quickly took the two bottles of dragon raising pills and kept them in his arms.
“It’s just a small token of appreciation,” Zhang Haoyue said with a smile. “Anyway, the day after tomorrow, I’ll invite many of my family’s elites to a gathering at Green Feather Tower and have a good chat. Brother Qin, you have to give me some face and attend the banquet.”
“Green Feather Tower? With my current identity… I’m afraid it’s not convenient to enter the city,” Qin Huai said hesitantly.
“Brother Qin, you haven’t been there yet, right? Green Feather Tower isn’t in the city. It’s in the Nine Dragons sect.” Zhang Haoyue explained, “I’ll introduce you to everyone when the time comes and resolve some unnecessary misunderstandings.
“Even though it’s a little too humble to say this, I still have some reputation among the younger generation of the Nine Dragons sect. When the time comes, I can help improve Brother Qin’s situation in the sect.”
When Qin Huai heard this, his expression immediately changed. “In that case, thank you!”
“No need to be so polite… There’s no need for you and me to be so distant.” Zhang Haoyue was very generous. He patted Qin Huai’s shoulder, then left.
“Son-in-law, let’s not talk about Zhang Haoyue’s character first, but his insight is quite good. Knowing that you have a great talent, they’re desperately trying to rope you in.” Qingshui sighed. “He’s handsome, talented, and a little ambitious. No wonder he has such a high reputation in the sect. ”
“Indeed.” Qin Huai looked at Zhang Haoyue’s back.
“Young Master, where are we going today?”
“Blood Dragon Platform. I’ll rank up a little to exchange for some points.”
He hadn’t fully recovered last time, and he hadn’t used his full strength. There was still a lot of room for improvement.
“I see that Young Master’s complexion has almost recovered. Do you want the blood changing pill this time? I recommend both the vitality pill and the dragon raising pill.” Qingshui was giving advice from the side.
“No, I’m going to use some medicinal herbs and make some poisons.” Qin Huai was honest.
“Poison? Why is Young Master exchanging for poisonous substances in the Nine Dragons sect?”
“Didn’t you hear? I’m going to a banquet the day after tomorrow,” Qin Huai replied.
“Are we required now to bring poisonous things to a banquet?” Qingshui’s head was full of question marks.
“This is our Changshan Dojo’s custom, so you wouldn’t understand,” Qin Huai said in all seriousness.
