At that time, the Great Elder never thought that while the Grand Lord Hong Lian was indeed on his way to Main City, his arrival in Main City would bring about a doomsday for the Lan family...

It was evening and the lights were lit.

The entire street in front of the Medicine Manor was now bustling with excitement. Countless grand carriages have stopped in the road, causing an extremely narrow squeeze until not even a single person could walk through it.

At the same time, the number of powerful cultivators who were descending from the sky was no small matter either as they congregated in front of the Medicine Manor's gate.

Everyone in Main City could not help but gasp at the sight of the powerful cultivators who have arrived in Main City.

All the Martial Supremes have assembled here!

In this world now, who else has the power to command such a rallying force aside from the Medicine Manor's Master?

The citizens who had not received the Medicine Manor's invitation could not help but feel a sense of envy as their eyes stared unblinkingly at the powerful cultivators who were entering the Medicine Manor.

When the cultivators entered the Medicine Manor's hall, they were greeted by a scene straight out of a painting.

Dressed in green robes, the woman stood tall yet approachable like a bamboo tree. She was extremely luminous and elegant, looking very immaculate. Her features were exquisite while the clear and cold space between her brows carried a sharp aura, causing everyone who walked through the hall to feel stifled. It felt almost like the temperature in their surroundings had dropped by several degrees.

Next to the woman in green was a little lolita of around five to six years old. She blinked her large eyes as she stared inquisitively at her surroundings. There was a grin across her tender, pink cheeks and she looked absolutely innocent.

However, the strangest thing was that the little lolita was not only dressed in red robes, even her eyes and brows were a striking shade of red. The red color was like a blossoming blood flower that carries a sense of icy cruelty, making those around her feel suffocated.

However...

Didn't the Medicine Manor's Master invite us to participate in a banquet?

Where is this banquet?

The crowd returned to their senses and immediately thought of this question - why had the Medicine Manor invited them over but not made any preparations?

"Almost half of the invitees have arrived." Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly. Her eyes were very clear and cold as she spoke, "However, there are still a few who haven't arrived! Once everyone is here, I will make an announcement!"

After that, Gu Ruoyun did not do anything more and did not even ask the guests who have arrived from far away to take a seat.

Everyone could not help but look at one another when they felt her indifference. Their hearts thumped, unsure of why Gu Ruoyun had summoned them here.

However, even though everyone had the same thought, no one dared to say a thing.

"Haha, Gu girl, are we late?"

A clear and bright laughter suddenly sounded from outside the door.

A small hint of a smile appeared on Gu Ruoyun's face when she heard that laugh. "Old Man Jiang," she said, "You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hehe, Old Man Jiang and I had been delayed so we had arrived late. As a token of our apology, Old Man Jiang and I will hold a dinner party for you, alright?"

The person who had spoken was Old Man Gu who had arrived at the same time as Old Man Jiang. Unlike Old Man Jiang's entertaining, clear, and bright voice, his voice was calm and gentle.

"Agreed."

Gu Ruoyun smiled gently. "Once I'm finished with my business, I will naturally accept your invitation. Please have a seat now. Wei Yiyi, pour some tea for both of them."

Old Man Jiang and Old Man Gu paid no attention to formalities as they laughed loudly and went their seats.
