Chapter 1301: Banquet Invitation
Banquet Invitation
"What did you say?"
Inside the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake, The Blind Man turned around in surprise, "They're here already??"
"Yes." A Police Officer answered truthfully, "After you gave the order, our people have been keeping an eye on the surrounding situation. The moment they appeared, we noticed them... As per your instructions, we have already sent someone to invite them over."
"Them?"
"Three people in total."
"Three people..."
The Blind Man frowned slightly and began pacing and pondering in the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake.
As early as a month ago, he had prophesied that a General Star possessing the power to restrain World-Ending Calamities would arrive at the South Sea Domain during this period. However, he didn't know much about the specific description of this General Star. He only knew that the other party seemed very young...
"Not old, they all look to be under twenty. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that only one of them, a youth wearing a Tang suit, looks extraordinary. The other two look strangely shabby, probably the attendants of that Tang-suited youth."
"Oh..."
The Blind Man was thoughtful.
"Mister, should we invite them into the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake?"
The Blind Man was suddenly somewhat speechless, seemingly unable to imagine how this person could ask such a silly question. He said seriously:
"Although the Lord of the South Sea and the Ancestor of the Pu Family temporarily repelled the Calamity of Taboo, they themselves are also heavily injured and both need to go into seclusion to recuperate. Right now, our South Sea Domain is exactly lacking people... This General Star is an existence capable of slaying a World-Ending Calamity in the future. We must entertain him well and make him stay in our South Sea Domain."
"Yes! Then I'll bring them over right now!"
"Prepare another table of good wine and good food, and we want our South Sea Domain's specialties."
"Ah?" The Police Officer was stunned. "Set... set it up here? Isn't this the dojo of the Lord of the South Sea... Does he... know about this?"
Ever since the Lord of the South Sea awakened, this Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake had been his exclusive space. Besides The Blind Man, absolutely no one could enter or leave here, let alone set up a banquet here.
"He's right at the bottom of this lake. What do you think?"
"Uh... I'll go do it right now."
"...Also bring over those few Ritual Artifacts at the bottom of the chest, and take a few more boxes of gold. Although a General Star with the ability to slay a World-Ending Calamity probably wouldn't care about these worldly riches, we still need to have a grand display."
The Police Officer had only left for a moment before hurriedly running back again.
"What is it now?" The Blind Man asked impatiently.
"Mister, Ye Mu is here."
A touch of surprise flashed across The Blind Man's face. After pondering for a moment, he still spoke:
"Have him wait outside for a while... Forget it, let him come in first, and add another chair to the banquet table later."
Since the Lord of the South Sea had agreed to let the Integration Faction enter the South Sea Domain, they would inevitably have to deal with each other in the future. Not to mention that this Teacher Ye was the Lord of the South Sea's teacher, and the Lord of the South Sea was his superior. No matter what, he couldn't lose his manners.
"Yes!"
...
The vehicle slowly came to a stop in front of the main gate of the South Sea Government.
As several Police Officers jogged over to open the car door, a figure wearing a Tang suit slowly got out of the car. He first pushed the small Round Sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, then leisurely looked around:
"Hmm... It hasn't changed much after not coming back for so long..."
"Oh? You are a native of the South Sea?" The Police Officer in charge of reception perked up his ears and immediately followed up with a question.
"I lived here for a period of time before. The climate here is not bad, and the taste of the double-skin milk is also fairly authentic." Sun Bumian casually closed the car door.
"I didn't expect there to be such fate. Then you can be considered half a native of the South Sea, hahaha..."
The Police Officer smiled apologetically, then silently moved closer to another Police Officer and whispered some instructions. The latter immediately ran toward the direction of the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake.
The General Star had lived in the South Sea for a long time. This was undoubtedly great news. It meant he had a stronger sense of belonging to the South Sea Domain. They had to immediately notify the one at the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake to facilitate the upcoming entertainment and negotiations.
After Sun Bumian came out, two disheveled beggars squeezed out from another car door one after another. After they crawled out like that, the leather on the back seat of the car was completely blackened, making the corners of the surrounding Police Officers' mouths twitch.
"Whoa! Grand!" Jian Changsheng looked up at the magnificent government gates and couldn't help but sigh.
"This way please, you three."
Under the lead of a Police Officer, the three walked inside side by side.
"As expected of Hearts... he can mix well anywhere." Jian Changsheng looked back at the special car that picked them up. It could be seen that after wandering outside for half a year, he was truly satisfied with his current treatment.
He even silently decided in his heart that when he fought Chen Ling later, he would go a little easy on him so that he wouldn't lose too ugly.
"Since he could make the Lord of Tianshu clear the way for us, he naturally can also handle the Lord of the South Sea. It's not strange."
Sun Bumian answered calmly and composedly.
Just now outside the Domain, they heard that those people were sent by the Lord of the South Sea specifically to invite them. At first, they still thought it was strange... After all, they didn't know the Lord of the South Sea at all, nor had they done anything that would make the Lord of the South Sea specially host a banquet for them. But thinking about it carefully, Chen Ling had already entered the South Sea Domain one step ahead of them. If it was like this, then it made sense.
There seemed to be some wonderful relationship between Chen Ling and the Nine Monarchs. When in the Tianshu Domain, he could make Lu Xun clear the way for them with a single sentence. Now encountering the revived Lord of the South Sea, it wasn't strange that they would receive preferential treatment...
Only this reason could explain why the Lord of the South Sea specially sent people to pick them up.
This was a welcome banquet specially prepared for them by Chen Ling and the Lord of the South Sea!
They had been rats crossing the street in the major Domains for so long. This time in the South Sea Domain, they had finally turned things around. They didn't need to be On The Run anymore, but could sit at the same table and eat with the Lord of the South Sea! Thinking of this, the backs of Jian Changsheng and the other two unconsciously straightened!
"Hearts is still thinking of us." Sun Bumian sighed emotionally.
The corner of Jian Changsheng's mouth turned up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yeah... I couldn't tell, but he's quite considerate."
Jiang Xiaohua suddenly asked gloomily,
"But, how did he know there are three of us?"
Both Sun Bumian and Jian Changsheng were stunned.
"Right..."
Sun Bumian patted that Police Officer's shoulder. "Brother, how did you guys know there are three of us?"
The Police Officer smiled. "Actually, we didn't know either. Mister only instructed us to pick up people at the edge of the Domain. We always thought only one would come... We didn't expect three to actually come."
Mister instructed?
Hearing these two words, Sun Bumian and Jian Changsheng looked at each other and nodded slightly... It matched up, it all matched up.
While speaking, the three had already passed through the long corridor in the middle of the lake, and a stone pavilion appeared in their field of vision.
Amidst the clusters of flowers, there was an exquisitely carved round table, fully set with all kinds of dishes. Seeing the three coming over at this moment, a blind man stood up with a smile on his face and bowed to the three:
"The three esteemed guests have finally arrived... please take a seat, won't you?"
