Chapter 514: Banquet within a Banquet

"I didn't take it seriously, but I like it." Yin Xu smiled at Shi Chun with his hands covering his mouth, more fancy than ever.

Wu Jinliang laughed along, not knowing whether the woman was joking or not. She really liked Spring, after all, they had just hugged each other.

"Okay, I won't disturb you two from rest. I'll invite you two to dinner in the evening." Yin Xu bowed politely and threw a coquettish glance at Shi Chun when he left.

The door opened and closed. Wu Jinliang chased to the door and checked to make sure that the person had indeed left. Then he ran back quickly and asked Shi Chun, "Chuntian, what does this woman mean?"

Shi Chun was also confused. Seeing that the other person was throwing herself at him, he just went with the flow. He had no objection to using this cost-free way to quickly get closer to her. But when he even said some sweet words, the other person suddenly pushed him away and said he was just joking.

Is it possible to joke around like this when you just met? He was confused and had no idea what was going on.

Seeing that he was also confused, Wu Jinliang suddenly laughed in a low voice and said, "Tell me, how does this vixen feel? I have never touched a goblin before."

Shi Chun gave him a blank look, not wanting to pay attention to him. He sat back in his chair, still wondering what the proprietress's intentions were. No matter which side she was from, it wouldn't make sense for her to throw herself into someone's arms the moment they met.

The only explanation he could come up with now was that maybe this was the woman's habit, and she would be like this whenever she got close to any man.

Of course, this remains to be seen.

Jokes aside, Wu Jinliang sat next to him and whispered, "Just deal with it as it happens. It's not appropriate for you to hug and touch her directly. You have to be more restrained in the future. You know the background of this woman. If the domain master really knows that you are together with his woman, we will be in big trouble. You see, I am also a lustful person, but I never take risks for women."

This guy actually taught me how to behave in terms of women. Shi Chun looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, and then asked, "Last time Duan Xiangmei got slapped, who was it that refused to give in and almost made it a mess?"

"Well, that's not the same thing. I'm talking about the woman outside." Wu Jinliang squeaked and whimpered shyly to explain himself, looking unusually embarrassed despite his thick-skinned attitude.

Shi Chun didn't want to talk to him about this and continued to use his right eye to observe the people from the Jihuo Sect.

He thought that the Jihuo Sect had already followed him nearby, but he underestimated Zhulang Pavilion's ability to keep secrets for its customers. In the huge building of Zhulang Pavilion, it was not easy to find the room where his master Chun stayed...

The second manager Tian Shen was waiting by the water ladder. When he saw Yin Xu coming back with a serious expression, he immediately welcomed her in.

After the two of them took the water ladder directly to the rooftop, Tian Shen, who was following them, couldn't help but ask softly, "Sister Hong, what's the situation?"

Yin Xu stopped in front of a orchid, gently holding up the drooping leaves, and was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I have smelled the aura left by the ancestor in Qingqiu. There is no mistake. The scent of the ancestor is on Wang Ping. It must have been planted on him by the ancestor on purpose, and it contains the ancestor's magic aura."

Although he was mentally prepared, Tian Shen was still quite surprised and exclaimed, "Who is he that deserves the ancestor to plant a scent on him? That doesn't make sense. The ancestor is sleeping in the God's Tomb. If he leaves the God's Tomb, Qingqiu will definitely be shaken. It can't be that he has entered the God's Tomb, right?"

Yin Xu shook his head slightly. "It is unlikely that he has the ability to enter the God's Tomb, unless he has mastered the method to break the prohibition of the God's Tomb. Otherwise, even some masters who can break the void will be powerless, unless those high and mighty ones personally take action. And if the ancestor left the God's Tomb, Qingqiu would not have failed to notice it. So I am also very curious, why does he have the scent of the ancestor on him?"

Tian Shen pondered and muttered, "The ancestor has planted a magical rhyme in him. With the ancestor's cultivation, doesn't that mean that as long as the ancestor wants, he can appear by his side at any time?"

"I can't figure out what's going on. Is it related to this that those groups of people are targeting him?" Yin Xu was thinking and muttering, then suddenly turned around and said to him, "We agreed to treat them to a banquet. You go and prepare a banquet, and I'll find a chance to investigate. In addition, those who can be targeted by several groups of forces must not be unknown people. You can ask your acquaintances in various continents to see if you can find out where Wang Ping and Gao He came from."

"Okay." Tian Shen agreed immediately.

In the evening, Yin Xu's invitation arrived as expected. Tian Shen came in person and invited Shi Chun and Wu Jin to the pavilion on the top floor. Yin Xu, who had been dressed up carefully, was already waiting there.

There were no outsiders, good wine, good food, good scenery, and a romantic night scene, and the host and guests had a great time chatting.

Lou Xiu was standing under the eaves outside the inner court of the City Guard, looking at the red light gradually disappearing in the sky with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed. He was dissatisfied with the ability of the relevant personnel. They couldn't even find out which room in Zhulang Pavilion Shi Chun and Wu Jin were staying in. What was going on?

He got mad about it.

He really wanted to ask that adult, is this the only ability of the people given on the list?

For this, he had to mobilize the city guards' secret line in Zhulang Pavilion. A figure quickly climbed up the stairs. The man named Tu Bicheng on the list came down. After he saluted in front of him, he whispered, "We found out. In Room D on the 55th floor of Zhulang Pavilion, the proprietress Yin Xu is personally hosting a banquet for the two of them on the rooftop."

Lou Xiu was slightly startled and asked, "Yin Xu personally hosted the banquet... How did you hook up with Yin Xu?"

Tu Bicheng said: "I really can't figure this out."

Lou Xiu thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "I experienced the enthusiasm of the lady boss last night. I'm new here, so I have to give that domain master some face. It's reasonable for me to flatter him. Let's go to Zhulang Pavilion."

Zhulang Pavilion, Qiu Ben, the head of Jihuo Sect's Martial Hall who had already moved into the pavilion, was also very annoyed. He felt that he had brought a bunch of useless people with him, but he couldn't even find out which room the target lived in. What were he staring at?

The entertainment floor and accommodation floor of Zhulang Pavilion are separated. The accommodation floor is extremely private. It is difficult to enter that floor without the room number plate of the relevant floor. Moreover, there are waiters on duty on each floor. If there is no one to pick up guests who are not on this floor, they will be asked to leave even if they climb the stairs.

Even if guests are staying on this floor, if the staff on duty finds someone wandering around the door of a room, they will go over and ask if they need anything. In fact, this is to protect the privacy of the guests and prevent people with bad intentions from exploring around.

It is not difficult to understand why Zhulang Pavilion has such tight defense. People there are doing shady business in private.

Qiu Ben really wanted to cast a spell to search the entire building. With his celestial immortal cultivation, he could definitely do it. However, there were rules for check-in at Zhulang Pavilion, which stated that one was not allowed to use magic power to randomly snoop into other people's rooms. Once discovered, the person would be immediately and unconditionally evicted without any compensation.

So this tracking trip ran into trouble. If Shi Chun and the other two hadn't come out, they would have really not been able to find them for a while.

It's impossible to send people to every floor to observe the situation, right? Even if he used such a stupid method, the nearly 20 people he brought were not enough. He also had to distribute people around the downstairs to prevent the target from leaving through other exits.

The guests and hosts on the rooftop were enjoying fine wine and delicious food, unaware of the suffering of those who had ulterior motives.

After a while of pleasant conversation, eating and drinking, and a harmonious atmosphere that seemed to have eliminated some of the distance, Shi Chun began to formally inquire, "Sister Hong, I heard that Zhu Langge also does some high-priced escort work in private?"

They also heard the people in Zhu Langge call this girl "Sister Hong", so they followed suit.

Yin Xu smiled after hearing this, and teased in a reverse tone: "Since my prince asked, I won't speak in secret in front of others. I dare not hide the fact that I just earn some hard-earned money. What's the matter, brothers? Do you need my help with anything? Let me be frank. Friendship is friendship, and rules are rules. Zhu Lang Pavilion needs to understand the whole story before considering whether to estimate the price and accept the order. I will not do anything that will only hurt myself. Of course..."

As he spoke, he personally filled the glasses for both parties, handed one cup to Shi Chun, took one for himself, and took Shi Chun's arm, posing as if they were drinking from the same cup, and said with a seductive look, "If our friendship is strong enough, we can do anything."

After saying that, he drank first as a sign of respect.

Shi Chun couldn't just stand there and watch, so he had to accompany her and have a drink with her.

Wu Jinliang felt a toothache from watching this again. He didn't know what was wrong with him, so he drank a glass of wine, which tasted bland, and turned his head to look at the night scene outside.

At this time, Tian Shen came over quickly, leaned over to Yin Xu and said, "Sister Hong, the new inner court officer Lou Xiu has arrived. He said that he would like to thank you for your hospitality last night and would like to invite you to the banquet in person."

How can it make sense to invite people to a banquet at this time without informing them in advance? Yin Xu frowned.

Shi Chun and Wu Jin smiled at each other, thinking that Lou Xiu was quite interesting. With his newly appointed status and position, he came in person to invite Yin Xu, which was very humble and gave Yin Xu enough face. If they refused to attend the banquet, it would be a slap in the face of the other person.

So Shi Chun smiled and said, "He is a new official, and Sister Hong can't be disrespectful to him. It doesn't matter to us, Sister Hong, just go to the banquet."

Yin Xu hesitated for a moment, but finally stared at the two of them and told them the truth, "Even if I go to the banquet, he will probably suddenly hear that I'm treating you, and then feel extremely sorry, and will have to apologize to you in person. So, the banquet for me is fake, and coming here for you is real."

The two brothers were startled, and Wu Jinliang asked, "We don't know him at all, why is he coming for us?"

Yin Xu: "As soon as you checked in, someone from the city guards started to inquire about your accommodation. Of course, it wasn't just the city guards who were inquiring, there were two other groups of people as well, and I don't know who they were. Also, when you were having dinner here last night, a leader from the Jihuo Sect named Xi Quan came over. He seemed to know you, and after he came upstairs from your table, he had already been eyeing you. It seems that there are quite a few people who are interested in you."

The two brothers looked at each other and finally figured out why they were targeted by the Jihuo Sect. It turned out that they were exposed last night. This was exactly what the two wanted to find out. But the question was, why did this woman betray the Jihuo Sect to them?

Although Shi Chun was very confident about his appearance, he couldn't help but re-evaluate his looks at this moment. Did it just happen to meet the aesthetic standards of demon cultivators?
