"Goodness, it seems like the Black Wind Village Chief is really angry."
"No kidding, the Fire Qilin’s actions are akin to stealing the monster, it’s a behavior of rivalry between two Big Bosses. This ti, I’m siding with the Black Wind Village Chief, after all, he’s a humanoid Boss."
"With this unexpected turn of events, it seems even the Heavenly King can’t save the Fire Qilin now. The Black Wind Village Chief might very well kill the Fire Qilin."
"No way, the Fire Qilin is so strong, and it’s rumored to be a forr Divine Beast. The Wang Family has also released information that the Fire Qilin exists to guard the Leshan Giant Buddha. Such a creature with the fortune of heaven and earth isn’t so easy to kill."
By the riverside, the players were discussing animatedly, all watching as the Black Wind Village Chief retrieved the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber and leaped onto the Demon Hawk, flying towards the riverside, appearing to make so adjustnts.
Instantly, many players on the riverbank beca excited.
Everyone had been waiting expectantly by the riverside at this alti for a reason, weren’t they just waiting for the Black Wind Village Chief to release a mission and stir up so activity?
Now, they finally saw a bit of a sign.
...
Amidst the attention of many, Jiang Dali and others went straight to an area temporarily cordoned off by the Yin Feng Double Killers and Dongfang Jian, high-levels stationed at the Leshan Branch, to rest, instructing the smart crew to keep an eye on any movents in the Lingyun Cave.
A group of elite mbers from the sub branch, with "Black Wind Village" sparkling brightly above their heads, clad in tiger skin skirts and black strong clothes, ford a circle, valiantly separating the crowd and escorting Jiang Dali and the other high-level mbers inside.
A banquet table was already set up there; the organizers clearly knew the preferences of Jiang Dali and his friends very well.
The banquet featured dishes like the green vegetables favored by Dongfang Bubai, Jinling Drunken Duck loved by Wang Yuyan, stead perch preferred by Murong Qingqing, and drinking snacks enjoyed by Xiao Feng and Lu Xiaofeng. Most importantly, there was an abundance of wine...yellow wine, white wine, and Persian grape wine, all available.
Everyone took their seats according to rank, and Wang Yuyan proactively stood up gracefully, with a smile in her beautiful eyes, dutifully pouring wine for Jiang Dali and others.
Knowing well that Jiang Dali needed so drinks to relieve his mood after a heated battle, she didn’t wait to say more, and served them personally. As everyone’s bowls and cups clinked in the air, the atmosphere imdiately beca more harmonious because of the drinks.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of many various players outside, Jiang Dali and his other "famous NPC" companions began feasting and drinking openly, completely contrasting with the previously intense battle, as if they ca to the riverside for a scenic dining gathering, rather than dealing with the Fire Qilin.
Many players either jumped into the trees or used their movent techniques to reach high slopes, watching from a distance at the feast guarded within the human wall of the Black Wind Village mbers, growing more disheartened and frustrated as they watched.
"Shit, this is way too much, what are we doing here? Starving while watching a bunch of NPCs eat and drink?"
"You can leave if you don’t want to watch, I’ve made up my mind to stick around, brought plenty of rations, emptied my bowels and bladder, staying online all night waiting for the mission to start!"
"Why does it feel like the feast was already prepared in advance? If Duan Shuai had just died, would this have been a morial feast for him?"
"I have a bad feeling, this ti the Black Wind Village Chief doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of releasing a mission. I have a friend in the Leshan Branch of Black Wind Village, and he says the power panel hasn’t been updated at all."
"The wind sways, the water sways, I’m swaying in the tree. The sky sways, the water sways, my stomach is empty. So hungry!"
After eight rounds of drinks, Jiang Dali, Xiao Feng, and Lu Xiaofeng each drank eight jars of wine, ending the banquet. Maid players from the Personal Guard offered Qi Fruits, and everyone casually discussed their plans to venture into the Lingyun Cave.
Just then, there was a slight commotion in the outer crowd.
Bai Ting, dressed in black with embroidered red flas, and Liao Rushen, wearing luxurious purple attire, erged from the crowd and approached the banquet to pay their respects.
Bai Ting bowed and clasped his fists respectfully, saying, "Greetings to the Chief."
Liao Rushen knelt down on one knee amid the crowd’s gaze, shalessly shouting, "Child Liao Rushen greets foster father, greets all uncles, aunts, wishing foster father great health, perpetual brilliance, wishing all uncles and aunts good fortune, throughout the years..."
"Enough! Stand up!"
Jiang Dali frowned and interrupted.
Liao Rushen imdiately stopped talking, didn’t say another word, and rose under many strange and amused gazes from others, with a serene and calm deanor, seemingly unaffected by the attention.
Lu Xiaofeng noticed and thought to himself, impressive, putting away his previously dismissive discontent. He understood that a person who could disregard the mocking eyes of worldly people around him is truly formidable, sufficiently enduring, and without a strong heart, it is impossible to remain so calm and composed.
Just from this point, this person will undoubtedly achieve great things in the future.
However, such a person is also likely to take an unconventional path, as such a person will certainly not be bound by any ans or morals, nor care about anyone’s opinion when doing anything.
"Liao Rushen, Bai Ting. You both did well this ti, not letting our Chief down," Jiang Dali casually said a few words of encouragent, praising Liao Rushen and Bai Ting for their tit-for-tat retaliation against Ei and Sanmao Palace.
It’s said that one who is not a gentleman cannot be ruthless. Jiang Dali, questioning his own gentlemanliness, will naturally respond in kind to how others treat him, killing the chicken to scare the monkey. What Liao Rushen and Bai Ting did was a warning he gave to so overconfident people and factions in the Martial World.
