Travel through the heavens

Just when Fang Muye was talking to Lei Wujie and others about the "Five Classes of Immortals", countless martial arts sects, martial arts families, and grand masters also saw the Bai Xiaotang disciples who had announced the list.

In the Imperial Observatory of Tianqi City, Qi Tianchen held a golden list in his hand and murmured, "I didn't expect that the friend Fang who was beside Zhao Yuzhen and Li Hanyi in the wild mountains that day turned out to be a hidden master. I really misjudged you. And Mo Yi, it's a name I haven't seen for a long time."

As he spoke, his eyes became deep and distant, and he remembered something that he was about to forget.

On a mountain road, Yan Zhantian, who was heading to Tianqi, opened the golden list, glanced at it, threw the scroll into the air, shattered it with a wave of his palm, and then asked the disciple of Bai Xiaotang, with murderous intent in his tone: "Tell me, who is Mo Yi."

Among the five great sword immortals, he, the Angry Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian, was the only one who did not make it into the top list. It was truly a loss of face for him.

In the Lei Family Fort of Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, Lei Qianhu held the list and said to Lei Yunhe and Lei Hong beside him, "The top two on the list are Baili Dongjun and Fang Muye. The top one on the list is Mo Yi. Who is this Mo Yi? Why is he even above Baili Dongjun and Brother Fang?"

Lei Yunhe sighed and said slowly, "Don't worry about who Mo Yi is. On this list of the best, there are three from Xueyue City and one from Tang Sect. But none of us three, the 'Four Heroes of Lei Sect' back then, made the list. Isn't that a bit embarrassing?"

In Xueyue City, Sikong Changfeng frowned and tapped the table beside him with his fingers: "I didn't expect that Baili and Brother Fang would only rank second on the top list. Who is this Mo Yi?"

Xie Xuan, who was sitting on the side, was also very confused and said slowly: "I have been traveling in the world for nearly twenty years, and I think I am familiar with this world, but I have never heard of Mo Yi."

Sikong Changfeng looked at the disciples of Bai Xiaotang: "So, who is Mo Yi?"

Wangcheng Mountain, Tang Clan, Wushuang City, Jiangnan Duan Family...

The whole world was shocked by Bai Xiaotang's top list. Except for a few people, everyone was confused. Who were Mo Yi and Fang Muye who appeared out of nowhere? Why were they ranked above the Drunken Immortal Baili Dongjun and the Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang?

In Tianqi City, some of those who were originally looking at Snowfall Villa suddenly became more cautious after seeing the gold list.

It was because the person who was ranked second on the list together with Baili Dongjun was the one who returned to Tianqi with Xiao Chuhe, and now, he was in the Snowfall Villa.

In the backyard of Xueluo Villa, Xiao Se and others were lost in thought after listening to Fang Muye's talk about immortals. Ye Ruoyi, dressed in green, walked slowly into the yard.

"Senior Fang, what happened to them?" Ye Ruoyi saw that everyone was absent-minded, bowed to Fang Muye, and asked in confusion.

Before Fang Muye could answer, Lei Wujie, who had heard the voice, suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Ye Ruoyi, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up in surprise and shouted, "Miss Ye, you're here."

After his shout, even someone who was sleeping soundly would be awakened.

Xiao Se raised his head and looked at Ye Ruoyi, smiling: "Ruoyi, you are here."

Ye Ruoyi nodded slightly, took out a scroll from her sleeve, and spread it out on the table. It was filled with densely packed names. "This is the list of invited guests."

"Guests?" Lei Wujie looked at those names, somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Se explained lazily, "Yes. After I came back, all my old friends have been staring at Snowfall Villa, not letting go for a moment, wanting to see what I would do. How could I let them down?"

"Since I have entered Tianqi, I have to take the first step. The first step I want to take is to tell everyone in Tianqi that I am back! I will hold a banquet and invite all the influential people in Tianqi City to come to the banquet." Xiao Se looked down at the list: "But it has been a while since I left Tianqi. Many things have changed. So yesterday I asked Ruoyi to help me draw up a list."

Ye Ruoyi pointed at the list and said slowly: "Some of these people are princes and nobles in Tianqi City, some are dignitaries in the court, and the other part is the merchants in Tianqi City. The nobles represent the Xiao royal family, the dignitaries are the aristocratic families of Tianqi, and these wealthy merchants control the economic lifeline of the entire Tianqi City. Some of these people need us to win over, and some need us to intimidate them!"

"White King Xiao Chong, Red King Xiao Yu." Sikong Qianluo whispered the two names above and asked in confusion: "Xiao Se, is this your brother?"

"Yes." Xiao Se sneered and crossed the names on the list with his hand, with a hint of disdain in his tone: "These two brothers of mine have been busy over the years. They have almost divided up the upper four and lower nine classes in Tianqi City."

Xiao Se turned his gaze to Ye Ruoyi and continued, "I don't recognize most of the names on this list, but I trust your judgment. Let Xu Bo draft the invitations and send them to their respective homes."

"Then what identity do you want to be?" Ye Ruoyi asked, "Sixth Prince, or Prince Yong'an?"

"Xiao Se." Xiao Se tapped the table twice with his hand. Although his voice was light, it was as firm as a rock: "Use this identity."

"Okay." Ye Ruoyi nodded and continued, "As for the location, Diaolou Xiaozhu or Tianxiaxuan are both good choices. We have invited too many guests, and we could have held the banquet in your house, but I know you don't like those vulgar people to step into your Snowfall Villa, so we didn't consider this place."

Xiao Se shook his head: "I don't want a small building or Tianxia Pavilion. They are too small and too vulgar. They are not worthy of my Xiao Se's banquet. There is only one place we want to go, Qianjin Terrace!"

"Thousand Gold Platform?" Lei Wujie was stunned: "The No. 1 gambling house in Tianqi?"

"No." Tang Lian smiled slightly: "It is the world's number one gambling house."

Qianjintai is the first of the four major gambling houses in Tianqi.

It is called the Qianjin Terrace because right in the center of it is indeed a high platform built of a thousand gold coins.

From the nobles of the Xiao family to the wealthy merchants, those who can step into Qianjintai are definitely not ordinary people. So here, no one is precious, and no matter who loses money here, they can only admit defeat obediently, just because the identity of the big boss behind Qianjintai is mysterious.

Once upon a time, the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue lost money at Qianjintai, made a big fuss and then disappeared inexplicably. The next day, the young man was transported to the Minister's Mansion in a carriage. Although he did not lose his life, he lost his right hand forever.

Tang Lian didn't know about this, but he remembered that Xiao Se had said when he was in Meiren Manor that he had gambled for three days and three nights at Qianjintai and finally won a city. Now it seems that it is true.

However, Tang Lian still felt a little confused: "Holding a banquet in a gambling house?"

"Yes." Xiao Se shook his sleeves and said, "It's time to go out and meet old friends."

Hua Jin, who had been silent the whole time, jumped up excitedly upon hearing this: "Are we going out?"
