Chapter 854: Chapter 845: The Third Layer
“If the esteed guest is interested, you can also visit the third floor of Tianyang Building,” the servant said with a smile.
Mo Wangchen was curious, “So, anyone can attend this gathering?”
“Of course, my lady invites all the talents of the Xuanwu Alliance to participate.”
Earlier today, Mo Wangchen had startled even Zhou Jing, the senior disciple of the Fla Phoenix Divine Sect. To the servant, it seed Mo Wangchen certainly had a mysterious identity.
Moreover, his presence here was likely for the gathering at Divine King Valley. Today, Tian Xinzhi was hosting a preliminary feast at Tianyang Building for talents from all corners, so how could Mo Wangchen not be qualified to attend?
“I was just planning to go downstairs for a al, but since there’s free wine here, why not go?” Mo Wangchen chuckled.
In fact, he indeed wanted to see for himself. It was a gathering of talents from various factions within the Xuanwu Alliance, providing an opportunity to gain a better understanding of future competitors.
Saying this, Mo Wangchen moved forward, ascending towards the staircase to the third floor under the servant’s gaze.
“Brother Wu, long ti no see!”
“Haha, so it’s Brother Wei, long ti no see indeed!”
Just as he entered the third floor, Mo Wangchen heard many people chatting, their words reaching his ears.
Compared to the second floor, this place was much more lively and bustling.
Looking around, the third floor had a large space without residential rooms, only seating provided for guests.
Currently, there were many people present on the third floor, likely numbering in the hundreds, all with youthful faces.
And as ti went by, more and more people arrived, almost exceeding the space’s capacity.
“Haha, Brother Wu, it’s been three years since we last t; I didn’t expect you’d co to this year’s gathering too!”
“I’m just here to join the fun; it’s been three years, and Brother Wei’s presence is even more impressive, which I admire.”
Not far in front of Mo Wangchen, near the window, two young n were chatting and laughing, clearly having just t again. The one referred to as Brother Wu was wearing black clothes, while Brother Wei was a robust man.
Behind both of them were two to three companions, not followers but friends.
Mo Wangchen proceeded and chose a seat near them by the window.
The table was adorned with exquisite wine and fruit, available for enjoynt. The gathering had yet to begin, and many were engaged in conversation, while Mo Wangchen seed sowhat peculiar, savoring the wine and fruit alone.
“Brother Wei, we haven’t t in three years, and back then, you saved my life in the Jiangchong Mountain Range. After the gathering ends, we should find a place and drink to our heart’s content, not leaving until we’re drunk!” the man nad Wu said with a smile.
“Haha, naturally, when it cos to drinking, I’m not afraid!” laughed the robust man nad Wei.
The two were engrossed in conversation, not even introducing the friends accompanying them.
After sitting down, they both realized awkwardly and smiled. The man nad Wu pointed to his two friends behind him and said with a smile, “Brother Wei, let introduce you: this is Brother Chen Ming and this is Brother Zhang Jingyuan.”
“Haha, greetings to both brothers, I’m Wei Buping, always eager to make friends. Beside is Brother Deng!” The robust man laughed heartily and began introducing his companion.
“Greetings, Brother Deng, I’m Wu Yao!” The man nad Wu courteously saluted.
Then, he turned his gaze back to Wei Buping, saying, “Brother Wei, I must say a few words to you; you’re always so carefree. After so many years, you haven’t changed your temperant. Introductions should include full nas.”
“Uh…”
Wei Buping was taken aback by this, feeling sowhat perplexed.
His companion Brother Deng smiled wryly and explained, “Brother Wu misunderstood; my full na is simply ‘Brother Deng’…”
“Uh!”
This left Wu Yao and his friends bewildered, taking a mont to react.
“And this is…”
The three felt a bit awkward, so Wu Yao had to find a new topic, casting his gaze towards another white-clothed man beside Wei Buping.
“This one is…”
Wei Buping was initially confused but then realized there was soone beside him, “Uh, isn’t this Brother Wu’s friend?”
“No, I thought he was Brother Wei’s guest.” Wu Yao was stunned.
“Hahaha, perhaps we were too engrossed in conversation after not seeing each other for so long that we didn’t notice soone already joined us here,” Wei Buping laughed, his personality indeed sowhat carefree.
Wu Yao looked at the unknown white-clothed man, courteously saluting, “May I know this brother’s na? My apologies; Brother Wei and I haven’t t in a long ti, perhaps we should move…”
“It’s fine; I ca alone today without any companions. Luckily, the seats accommodate all six of us, so let’s stay together,” the white-clothed man said with a smile, putting down his cup.
This white-clothed man was none other than Mo Wangchen.
“In that case, we won’t stand on ceremony,” Wei Buping laughed heartily, patting Mo Wangchen on the shoulder, “Brother, traveling alone isn’t ideal; having a few friends around offers support, doesn’t it?”
“Thank you for your concern, Brother Wei, but I’m accustod to being solitary.”
Mo Wangchen smiled, growing fond of the outgoing Wei Buping. The friendship between him and Wu Yao seed genuine in Mo Wangchen’s eyes, not feigned in the least.
“I’m Mo Wangchen; please take care of .” Later, Mo Wangchen introduced himself.
“So it’s Brother Mo. I wonder where Brother Mo is from, coming alone to the Divine King Valley gathering; it shows great courage,” Wu Yao inquired.
“My family is from Jinxiu City, just a small family, nothing to talk about,” Mo Wangchen smiled, not showing any intention to reveal his true identity. He then asked in confusion, “What happens at the Divine King Valley gathering, or is it forbidden for soone alone to attend?”
“That’s not the case; the gathering is held at the ancient debating grounds of the Divine King, so there’s no reason to prevent anyone from attending. But doesn’t Brother Mo know that each year, Auspicious Clouds appear in the valley, bestowing the Divine Charm Dao Pattern? It invariably leads to competition, and alone, one might be at a disadvantage,” Wu Yao explained.
“Divine Charm Dao Pattern?” Mo Wangchen was surprised, having never heard of it before, nor had the i Family ntioned it.
“Actually, since a thousand years ago, the yearly gathering hasn’t seen Auspicious Clouds manifesting or the descent of Divine Charm Dao Patterns. It’s understandable that Brother Mo doesn’t know, for it’s a custom dating back to ancient tis when Divine Charm Dao Patterns would descend at every annual gathering. It beca routine, so people routinely co in groups, worried there might be a sudden reappearance of the Divine Charm Dao Pattern during a gathering, sparking a scramble.”
