I am a living immortal.
Chapter 327 Very Bold
We also discussed the banquet the day after tomorrow.
It was said that most Grandmasters had received invitations. For these Jianghu people, this invitation was a source of bragging rights. Those who received the Grandmaster's invitation were undoubtedly top-tier experts.
This invitation was a recognition of his strength, wasn't it just something to show off? However, this wasn't due to his status as a crown prince, but rather to his martial arts mastery.
If the Crown Prince didn't have this level of strength, then this invitation wouldn't have had such an impact. Inviting all the heroes would also be very troublesome. We'll have to see how many Grandmasters respond to the invitation before making a final decision.
All of this highlights one thing: strength.
This shows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well prepared and every step he takes has a purpose.
Old Goat brought Chen Tao to the restaurant they'd visited last time. The waiter actually recognized them both, a testament to his professionalism. This was all a complete misunderstanding. With so many people coming and going in the restaurant, how could the waiter possibly remember them all? That's because only a few people could afford to eat on the fourth floor, and since they were all regulars, there was no problem squeezing in a hundred or so people. Crucially, Su Mu and the others had paid promptly the last time they came.
"Gentlemen, the seats you sat in last time are still empty. Would you like to continue sitting in the same seat?" the waiter asked with a smile.
The old goat nodded and handed over some tips in the same way as Su Mu.
The waiter warmly welcomed the guests to the fourth floor.
"This one tastes good." Old goat is also delicious, but I still have a special liking for green grass, so occasionally...
From the second floor to the third floor, and then to the fourth floor, the lively atmosphere gradually decreased, but by the fourth floor, there were only a few people left.
"By the way, why don't you have a private room?" Chen Tao asked the waiter curiously. The fourth floor of this restaurant could be partially open to the public, with private rooms built in. Those who like the hustle and bustle can enjoy the excitement, while those who like quiet can enjoy the peace and quiet.
This question confused the waiter.
"I'm sorry, I'll let the shopkeeper know your suggestion."
Chen Tao waved his hand and asked casually.
After the two of them sat down, the waiter went to serve the food. The fourth floor wasn't crowded, not as lively as it had been that day. This restaurant was considered the tallest building in Jiading Prefecture, so the view was great and the food was delicious.
"Come to think of it, the banquet the day after tomorrow might be even more lively than I imagined." Chen Tao suddenly said.
"What news have you received?"
"There were rumors a few days ago that people from the Meng family army would also come, and they even sent a visiting card. Now it seems that the rumor is true." Chen Tao pointed to a certain place.
The old goat looked in the direction the other party pointed and saw several strange people with their eyes covered with black cloth.
"Are they also members of the Meng family army?"
"Yes, not all members of the Meng Family Army are like those assassins. There are also White Walkers. The Meng Family Army was originally a sect or some kind of niche 'cult', and their behavior is similar. Just like the assassins we saw that day, they have different duties and doctrines, worshiping dreams or the god of dreams."
The old goat understood: "So these daywalkers don't look directly at the daylight."
"Yes, but that's not important. The past of the Meng Family Army has been distorted countless times, and there's not much useful or real information at all. But... generally speaking, assassination is a mission, and the Meng Family Army rarely communicates with outsiders. How come this time..."
"I don't know what they are here for." Chen Tao was also curious.
The old goat looked again, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes sharp. There was one thing Chen Tao didn't know: these so-called daywalkers didn't seem ordinary.
They weren't human, but... demons. Really, it seemed like this god wasn't a pushover either, and loved to get involved in the fun.
It seemed that the old goat's gaze was too intense.
Those day walkers who were walking openly on the street and were surrounded by both wanderers and common people who were taking detours noticed something and looked up at the location of the old goat.
The old goat still didn't look away. He looked at the uninvited guests with a playful expression in his eyes, a smile on his lips, as if he was very interested in them. It must be said that the old goat's imitation of Su Mu's expression was very lifelike.
Such unbridled observation made the leading daywalker feel uncomfortable and a little pressured. Xu Huang's gaze seemed to see through him, as if he were walking down the street without reservation.
This person discovered that this was the first opposite.
How could it be discovered?
Who is he, what does he want to do, does he need to be silenced, and can he be silenced?
A wave of wild thoughts filled his mind, making the leader irritated. However, this irritation didn't last long before dissipating. Normally, he would have dodged back, grabbed the man's neck, and questioned him, but not now. The teachings and the master's orders weighed down on him like two mountains, forcing him to ignore them.
We cannot act recklessly at a time like this.
The leading daywalker withdrew his gaze and continued forward. He ignored it, but the old goat's gaze followed these people like a thorn in their back, like a death warrant. Whether it was an illusion or not, Chen Tao felt that there was a slight disorder in their steps, and their pace had increased.
Furthermore, in his eyes, the energy flowing through these people wasn't white. While most weren't pure white, they did have some tinge of other colors. Chen Tao also made some conclusions: red indicates a person who has committed many murders, black indicates a person who is extremely evil, pure white indicates a person of pure kindness, cyan and purple indicate a certain status, and gold indicates a person of meritorious virtue. Regardless of the color, whether expressed outwardly or inwardly, the underlying color is white.
But these people were different. Their underlying colors were actually black. This made Chen Tao ponder: why were these "people" different? He made a decision in his heart.
"Aren't they human?" Chen Tao asked the old goat directly.
"Oh, it seems you are not stupid." The old goat nodded.
"They are monsters."
Dayu is a nation deeply hostile to demons. Because of the demon's chaotic rule, the people suffered greatly. This hatred cannot be erased in a few decades or generations. Therefore, unlike other nations, as long as they remain undetected, nothing will happen.
Dayu will take the initiative to hunt and kill those monsters.
The Third Yamen also grew up in such an environment. They will also work together with the temple priests of the Shengjun Temple.
Once discovered, they will be expelled or killed without mercy, there is no second choice.
This is also a special means used for special experiences.
"It's really bold." On this point, the martial arts world and the imperial court have something in common.
