Chapter Thirty-Nine: Banquet

  "Looking for your master?" Tang Song immediately understood what Tang Qingtian meant. "Dad, are you worried about the people from Xuanbing Gate?"

  Tang Qing let out a sigh and said, "Song Er, do you know who came from Xuanbing Gate this time? Jiang Zichuan is the elder of Xuanbing Gate and a great master in the late stage of Wuling. He alone can destroy our entire Tang family."

  The Tang and Song dynasties were deeply felt, just one person, let the master of the Tang family, known as the four major families in Hengyang City, be so afraid, like a floating duckweed without roots.

  Unexpectedly pinned all his hopes on that elusive and intangible master in his mouth.

  Tang Song suddenly had an idea, previously he didn't know how to tell Tang Qingtian not to be afraid of using Jiang Zikuan, or even Xuan Bingmen. Now he had a plan, pushing everything onto that elusive master's shoulders.

  "Dad, don't worry, I've already informed my master about what's going on here. When the people from Xuanbing Gate arrive, my master will show up."

  "Really!" Tang Qingtian exclaimed with a surprised face.

  Tang Song nodded and said, "Really, after I came back last night, I sent a message to Master, and I believe he will arrive tomorrow."

  Tang Qing's joyful emotions were beyond words, he stood up and paced back and forth in the room, his flushed face and heavy breathing revealing just how excited he was at this moment.

  He didn't expect the problem that had been troubling him for so long would be solved so easily.

  Since Li Wengong came to offend that night, he has been thinking about this problem and worrying that the Xuanbing Gate will settle accounts after autumn.

  As expected, the insider in Li's household informed him that the Xuanbing Sect had sent a master, and it was an elder in the late stage of Wu Ling.

  For the Tang family, a mid-Wu Ling expert is enough to sweep them away, let alone a late Wu Ling, not even a glimmer of hope can be seen.

  But the big problem that has been troubling the Tang family was solved with just a few words from Tang Song.

  Tang Qing Tian felt like he was walking on air as he headed back, it was too exhilarating.

  Tang Ziyi and Tang Qingyi asked Tang Qingtian in a hurry what was the result as soon as they saw him return.

  Tang Qing didn't speak for a while before finally saying with a sigh of relief, "It's all right, Song'er said that he has already contacted his master and his master will arrive tomorrow."

  Tang Ziyi and others all let out a sigh of relief.

  Tang Blue Clothes was the only woman in the Rainbow Battle Team, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh: "Fortunately, I was cautious and asked Young Master first, otherwise we would have made a joke out of it."

  Tang Qingtian nodded after hearing this. Indeed, if such a thing were to spread out, the Tang family would inevitably become the laughing stock of everyone's conversations over tea and dinner.

  With the biggest problem solved, Tang Qingtian relaxed and said, "Old Master Ji's 80th birthday is in two days. Let's discuss what we should do."

  Tang Ziyi thought for a moment before saying: "Master, I think this depends on how we deal with Jiang Zikuan of the Mystic Ice Sect."

  Tang Qingyi also said: "That's right, if Master can solve Jiang Zikuan, then our attitude can be a bit tougher."

  Tang Qing Tian nodded slightly, and their words had reached his heart.

  The Ji family's status in Hengyang City is transcendent, for two reasons: one is that the old ancestor of the Ji family was a master in the mid-Wu Ling period.

  Behind Ji's house is the Qiujianmen of the Xuanmiao Sect.

  The four major families in Hengyang City all have their own backing forces. The Li family relies on the Xuanbing Gate of the Eighth-Rank Sect, while the Yang family relies on the Liehuo Sect of the Eighth-Rank Sect.

  The reliance of the Tang family was on the royal house of Anshan.

  Unfortunately, in recent years, the old ancestor of the Anshan royal family has gone missing, so the Anshan royal family has become weaker. As a result, the status of the Tang family in Hengyang City is also getting lower and lower.

  It has now developed to a precarious point, even the Li family dares to bully them.

  If they can take advantage of the Tang Song's master's appearance, and then borrow the Qi family's old ancestor's birthday, the Tang family will show off their strong side again, and should be able to severely deter those who are eager to move.

  Tell them that the Tang family has found a new backer and it's not someone who can be trifled with.

  The next afternoon, the entire Li family was in an uproar because Jiang Zikuan, the elder of Xuanbing Gate, had arrived.

  Since Li's family was founded, there has never been a person of Jiang Zikuan's status visiting here, this is absolutely a glorious event for the ancestors.

  The Li family decorated their house with lanterns and colorful decorations, as if they were celebrating a grand birthday or New Year.

  Li Wengong even sent out invitations, inviting people of status and position in Hengyang to attend the banquet.

  As one of the four major families in Hengyang City, the Tang family was naturally included in the invitation.

  Tang's main hall, Tang Qingtian held the invitation letter sent by Li's family in his hand, with a frown on his forehead.

  Soon, footsteps sounded outside, and Tang Ziyi, Tang Qingyi, and Tang Lanyi walked in quickly, paid their respects to Tang Qingtian, and stood aside.

  As for the remaining four members of the Rainbow Squad, they were all in training.

  After a while, Tang Song also arrived, with Feng Lang by his side.

  When Tang Song arrived, Tang Qingtian spoke up and said: "I've asked everyone to come here today because there's something I'd like to ask for your opinions on. This invitation letter was sent by the Li family."

  He handed the invitation letter to everyone, and Tang Qingtian continued: "Jiang Zikuan has arrived, and Li's family is having a big banquet for guests. This is not surprising. But what's strange is that they actually sent the invitation letter to my hands."

  Tang Ziyi also said: "Yes, this doesn't seem like the style of Xuan Bing Gate. After Jiang Zikuan came to Hengyang City, wasn't the first thing he did coming to find trouble with the Tang family?"

  Tang Qingyi said: "Perhaps they knew that the young master's teacher would come, so they didn't dare to come?"

  Tang Blue Clothes said: "Do they have to make such a big show of inviting guests? Isn't this just telling others that the Xuan Bing Sect is afraid?"

  For a time, everyone was guessing what kind of tricks the Li family had up their sleeves.

  In the end, Tang Song said straightforwardly, "Go take a look and you'll know."

  Tang Qing Tian hesitated for a moment and asked: "Song Er, has your master arrived?"

  Tang Song nodded and said: "He has arrived, but he doesn't like the commotion, so he doesn't want to show up. When we need him, he will appear to help us."

  Tang Qingtian nodded slightly. The higher one's strength, the stranger their temper became - this was already a common affliction among high-level warriors on the True Spirit Continent.

  "You mean to attend the Li family's banquet?" Tang Qingtian confirmed.

  Tang Song nodded and said, "That's right. Instead of making pointless guesses here, it's better to go take a look in person. No matter what kind of tricks the Xuanbing Gate and the Li family are playing, we only need to be bystanders."

  Tang Qing felt at ease, as long as Tang Song's master was around, he had nothing to fear.

  "All right, let's get going, we're having dinner at Li's place tonight." Tang Qingtian said with a flourish of his hand.
