Mo Xie returned, soon as he did, the banquet already started.
He immediately parted with Wei'er: "Miss Wei'er, I'll be going to my friends for now."
Wei'er respectfully bowed: "Thank you for having me escort you, Mo Patriarch." The graceful lady immediately walked away, still feeling dejected somehow.
Mo Xie chuckles, he then looked for the Ouyang siblings.
Qian Wushan sneaked around and searched for her daughter the moment he saw Mo Xie had returned.
"Wei'er, how was your trip? You think the Mo Patriarch has any designs on you?" He asked shamelessly.
Qian Wei'er smiled wryly, she shook her head and replied: "Father, don't shame your daughter further." She chuckled as she finished speaking.
"Oh, why my lovely princess?" Wushan asked worriedly.
Qian Wei'er smiled, she looked at Mo Xie from afar before returning her gaze to her father: "The only time he looked at me is when he invited me to go home."
Wushan sighed, he patted his daughter's head and spoke: "Don't worry, love isn't something that can't be forced, it's something to catch with your own two hands!"
"I can help you with a few things, setting a room, giving you both some space, but I can't really do anything forcefully." Qian Wushan smiled dejectedly.
Wei'er chuckles: "Father, I know."
As she replied, she made her way towards a veranda to think.
Qian Wushan sighs heavily, he looked at his daughter before walking towards Mo Xie again.
It's still early in the night, three hours before midnight.
Qian Wushan socialized with Mo Xie and his groups, he didn't have any knowledge about the Myriad Earth Abyss, hence, he couldn't really place the siblings above his expectation.
Mostly, he would talk to the two of them once in a while, he also introduced his heir the first prince and his second son.
The two princes noticed Bingyun's elegance and beauty hidden within the veil, they couldn't even hold themselves in coming to greet the lady.
Wushan immediately warned the two to not have any intent in making a move at Bingyun, there's a chance that the lady is Mo Xie's candidate for the second wife, hence, became strict at the two princes in this aspect.
Since Qian Wushan is the host, he didn't forget to put everything he has in order to entertain Mo Xie and the rest.
Meanwhile, Mo Xie felt that everything's been too peaceful, although it isn't really bad, he couldn't help but feel that something is amiss.
He kept tabs on Bai Siwa, but the said person hasn't been present since the start of the banquet.
Qian Wushan felt that Mo Xie is looking for someone, he couldn't help but be happy, after all, the only person that the latter had talked to is him and his daughter, he couldn't help but ask: "Young expert, are you looking for someone?"
Mo Xie couldn't help but chuckle: "Indeed, but not the one you're hoping for me to look for."
Qian Wushan felt a little embarrassed as Mo Xie saw through him completely, he coughs and asked: "Mo Patriarch, who are you looking for?"
Mo Xie smiled, still, he's more of an upfront man, he didn't make any sideway comments and asked: "I've not seen your prime minister since the start of the banquet."
Qian Wushan looked from left to right, clearly, his prime minister isn't present anywhere, he then remembered something and spoke happily: "Actually, Mo Patriarch, the prime minister didn't just call you especially, there are other powers."
"Other powers?" Mo Xie asked.
Qian Wushan nodded his head: "Yes, not just anyone, but from a powerful force at that, the four sacred grounds and the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire too."
"Just them?" Mo Xie asked, if powers are mentioned, Vermillion Sonata Kingdom isn't far from the Solar Blaze Kingdom too, but then, he remembered the power struggles between the two kingdoms and decided to ignore it.
Qian Wushan immediately knew what Mo Xie's words meant, she couldn't help but chuckle wryly: "Well, you know of our circumstances with that specific kingdom."
Mo Xie smiled, he nods with acknowledgment.
"Well, we did invite the Azure Imperial Kingdom as well, with that, all powers that stood at the top of humanity will send their representatives." Qian Wushan spoke excitedly, he couldn't help but wait for Mo Xie's great compliments.
"Oh, that's a great line up indeed." Mo Xie praised, but deep inside, he felt something's amiss.
But he couldn't have the time to think as a messenger arrives and reported: "Your majesty, Crowned Prince Song Ming of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire has arrived together with the four great sect's representatives!"
Qian Wushan couldn't hide his excitement, he stood up immediately: "Apologies, I need to welcome them."
Mo Xie smiled, he was welcomed by the elders while Chu Song Min is being welcomed by the kingdom's king. This clearly displayed the difference between their status! Mo Xie didn't really care about such honorifics, after all, he was keeping a low profile.
Mo Xie couldn't help but think what kind of genius is Chu Song Min.
Still, he immediately changed the subject as soon as Qian Wushan left, he looked at Ouyang Chen: "Brother, I think that there's something amiss within everything that's happening."
Ouyang Chen looked at Mo Xie in a bewildered manner: "What do you mean brother?"
Mo Xie couldn't help but remove the feeling that something is clearly amiss: "Will you be participating in the event for the Thousand Peaks Mysterious Cavern?"
Ouyang Chen shook his head: "Sadly, I wouldn't be able to participate, this is the second last of our destination, after the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, we will return home."
He then looked at Bingyun and spoke: "Well, my sister might take a look, you should go together with her."
Mo Xie nods his head: "Well, since it's merely observing, I doubt there will be anything that's going amiss."
Ouyang Chen smiled: "Later, my sister's and my subordinates will spread across the country to gather some information and clues."
Mo Xie frowns: "Is it about those groups?"
Chen nods his head: "Yeah, they had been too silent, there are other Clans sent to other continents too, our Ouyang Clan is in the jurisdiction of the Fallen Leaf Continent."
Mo Xie nodded his head; 'Other than the Fallen Leaf Continent, there are other continents like ours and it is all below the Myriad Earth Abyss Continent.'
Soon, Qian Wushan arrived, behind him are the people they escorted back.
"Crowned Prince Min!" All of the elders and positioned men of the Kingdom saluted.
Chu Song Min nods his head, he continued his steps towards a table designated for his group.
Soon, those together with Song Min entered asleep. Mo Xie couldn't help but look at them in approval.
"Ah, Sect head Master Wu, Sect head Wang!"
Mo Xie looked at the two experts, he couldn't help but become awed quickly, the two sect masters are like heaven and earth apart, the one named Wu is a female with graceful movements and demeanor, wearing azure and white robes, she carried herself like a pure maiden, there are signs of aging on her face, but it seemed nothing but mere passage of time, she had no intent on hiding it.
Meanwhile, the one called Wang is a brusk old age man, although he's definitely so much older than Sect Master Wu, he has no white hair, instead, his body is full of solid concrete muscles. the Sect Master Wu is only below the former's chest.
Behind the sect masters, there's a person that carried a flag each, the heavily built men are from the Grand Martial Sect, while the beautiful individuals are from the Celestial Azure Pavillion.
Similarly, all of those that followed the two sect heads also have of the same statures as them.
Mo Xie couldn't help but be amused at the parade, but then, another two lines of people entered the hall.
He frowned at the sight of one of those two flags, he clearly remembered the person that almost harmed his wife a few months ago, and that person is from under this banner.
"Supreme Crimson Spear Sect..." Mo Xie uttered under gritted teeth. Still, he didn't need to be angry at a group because of a single entity, after all, he betrayed the sect secretly, who knows which of these people are in cahoots with Meng Kou.
Still, Mo Xie held it in, that's only an estimation, he didn't really know until how far had the Blood Mist Shadow Sect's root taken its place within the Fallen Leaf Kingdom.
Besides the Supreme Crimson Spear Sect, the one that didn't send their representative at the Pagoda arrives aswell, the banner spoke of its name in a grand manner, the Piercing Mountain Sword Sect.
Mo Xie couldn't help but be quite taken aback, the Piercing Mountain Sword Sect boasts tremendous power, he couldn't help but look at this sect in a greater view other than the three sects. The one leading the Piercing Mountain Sword sect is a hunched back man, all of his hair white and the wrinkles on his face are heavier than the other, his eyes closed while his mouth in a calm smile.
If somebody else looked at this old man, they would definitely think of him as an amiable and kind one, but to Mo Xie, he couldn't help but wanted to distance himself. Although the old man is
The sword aura exuding from the old man is too sharp, it's almost close to Sword Energy's initial stage.
Mo Xie has no cards to play, and if he's to fight this person head-on, he'd definitely be crushed immediately. Although the old man is using a cane to help him walk, Mo Xie couldn't underestimate the old man.
But as he probed all of the members of the sect, a hand stretched out of nowhere.
Mo Xie instinctively tried to avoid it.
"Haha, you sure have nice reflexes." The person that stretched his hand laughed.
Mo Xie looked at the person and spoke: "Oh, you must be Chu Song Min." As he spoke, he stretched his hand and shook the latter's.
The other man smiled, still, although he looked kind and harmless on the outside, Mo Xie could feel a tremendous amount of power from the man himself.
Chu Song Min smiled, he looked at Mo Xie trying to probe his dept. "You must be the Medical Saint's apprentice."
The two of them looked at each other, there's some sort of barrier between the two of them, clearly, as both being the peak of the younger generation, Chu Song Min wanted to check on the person that's in another peak.
Mo Xie at the physician peak while Chu Song Min on the peak of the martial path, both young, both hotblooded.
