C27 – Before the Storm
The entire Sheng family was filled with joy. Sheng Yuduo had obtained the first place in the Hunting Festival with an astonishing result. At the same time, the news of a Grandmaster Stage Expert behind him quickly spread throughout the entire Rosewall City.
In addition, everyone knew that Sheng Xinhuo was taken away by the experts of Xuan Tian Sword Sect the day before yesterday. The Sheng family was now in a very good position. Their family was about to soar to the top!
The Sheng family was naturally overjoyed, so they decided to hold a celebration banquet three days later! At the same time, they set up a banquet in front of the Sheng family’s gate for a month. No matter who it was, they could come and eat!
Regarding the Sheng family’s generosity, the other families also had different reactions. Meng Huoyang angrily smashed his favorite tea set into pieces.
However, Tao Wei smiled and said, “City Lord, why are you so angry? Whether this is a blessing or a curse, we still don’t know. Let us wait and see!”
When Meng Huoyang heard this, he knew that Tao Wei’s words had a deeper meaning. He had always been on guard against his Think Tank Group! However, because this person was arranged by his father-in-law, he did not dare to be negligent at all!
One of the reasons why Meng Huoyang did not put Tao Wei in his eyes was because Tao Wei relied on his father-in-law. His father-in-law was an elder of the Haotian Sect.
Meng Huoyang immediately asked, “What do you mean?”
Tao Wei said casually, “When you should know, I will naturally let you know. You should be patient! Since the Sheng family wants to hold a celebration banquet, why don’t we participate?”
Meng Huoyang’s heart was filled with hatred, but on the surface, he looked very calm and relaxed. He stroked his beard and nodded approvingly.
Tao Wei looked at Meng Huoyang’s retreating figure with a disdainful smile on his face. Meng Huoyang was just a chess piece. He had been the City Lord for a few years, but he actually thought of himself as an important person.
The Soong family was overjoyed, but the Wang family was dead silent. The death of Soong Wen was a huge blow to the Wang family. All of their ambitions were built on the foundation of Soong Wen joining the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.
Hee Weijian brought Hee Gu here alone. After entering the hall with Soong Mingjun, he said, “I came here this time to resolve the misunderstanding between our families. Hee Gu, tell me everything you know!”
Hee Gu quickly stepped forward and said, “Shaozhu was indeed not killed by me. At that time, I was leading a few disciples and were looking for wild beasts everywhere. Suddenly, we heard a loud noise coming from the forest.
I immediately brought people over. When we arrived, we only saw Shaozhu Wang lying there. He was already dead. I admit that I wanted to see if I could find his jade pendant.
“However, just as I was flipping through his corpse, your Soong family’s men arrived. They attacked us first, and we retaliated. I am willing to swear to the heavens that if I say a single false word, I will be pierced by thousands of arrows and never live again!”
The oaths in the Divine Martial Continent were very effective, so no one would use this as a lie. Everyone naturally believed Hee Gu’s words!
At this moment, Hee Weijian said, “Master of the Soong family, if you still don’t believe me, then I will hand over my son to you! What do you think?”
Soong Mingjun thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Since he has already made an oath, then I have nothing to say. There will be a day when the truth will be revealed. If you prove that he lied, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Hee Weijian said with a smile, “If my son really lied to you, then you don’t have to do anything. I will personally deliver his head to you and then commit suicide to atone for my sins!”
Since everyone had already discussed it, then this matter could be considered over. Hee Weijian continued, “The second thing I came here for today is to hope that we can form an alliance with the Soong family and face the current situation together!”
Soong Hanjun knew what he wanted to ask, “Master of Hee family, what do you mean by that?”
Hee Weijian laughed and said, “First Elder, why are you asking this? I came here with full sincerity today. First Elder, you don’t have to test me anymore.” The people of the Soong family also smiled.
