C42 The Early Feast of the Five Cities
Article 41 of the Five City Banquet.
Whoever could become the gathering place for the top gatherings in the Eastern Five Cities would obtain unimaginable benefits. Therefore, under such circumstances, the Dragon Elephant City's City Lord was the first to speak. He would bring the Five City Banquet ahead of time to decide which city would be the gathering place.
The city lords of Thunder City,silver Moon City, and Eight Direction City agreed to the proposal of the city lord of Dragon Elephant City. Because the power of Burning Sword City was the weakest, Cai Jingsong, the city lord of Dragon Elephant City, informed Chen Beigui in the end.
In fact, this wasn't a notice. It was Xuan Da, because this was the unanimous decision of the other four city lords. Chen Beigui didn't even have the right to discuss this matter. Since Burning Sword City was the host this time, Chen Beigui only needed to do what the host should do. Everything else was none of Chen Beigui's business.
Despite Chen Beigui's anger, he was furious. Xuan Da had given him such an important matter instead of discussing it with him. He felt that he had really failed. How could a city lord on the same side be discriminated against like this?
However, this couldn't be blamed on anyone. Burning Sword City was weak to begin with. In addition to the conflicts between the families in the city, Chen Beigui's position as the City Lord couldn't be guaranteed, let alone the respect that the other City Lords had for him.
Since the flying talisman of the city lord of Dragon Elephant City had already been passed down, Chen Beigui had to do as he was told. At this moment, no one dared to offend him. He could only agree to everything obediently.
Chen Beigui began to announce: Three days later, all the cultivators in Burning Sword City who had unlocked five to nine shackles will gather at the Burning Sword Stage of Burning Sword City. This year, the Five City Banquet will be held in advance.
"Are you telling me this because you want me to do something?" Gai Yin looked at Chen Kongyin and asked.
Chen Kongyin shook her head and said, "What I mean is that the Five City Banquet will be held in Burning Sword City in a few days. You can't take any more risks. The previous incident with Cang Mangzi almost exposed you. These few days, at least you should behave properly for the next few days."
Obviously, Chen Kongyin was afraid that Gai Yin would continue to do the things that concerned life and death. She came today to remind Gai Yin that she hoped that Gai Yin would be more honest in the next few days and not continue to deceive him.
Gai Yin looked at Chen Kongyin and thought for a while, then nodded. "Alright,i understand."
Chen Kongyin nodded and stood up. "I have to go back. I am busy these few days. I will leave first."
Gai Yin also nodded and smiled. "Okay, you can go."
Chen Kongyin then turned around and left. Gai Yin, on the other hand, was eating tea and thinking about something.
After Chen Kongyin left, Yuu Zifei exploded. She looked at Gai Yin coldly and said, "You are really shameless. I want to kill you!"
Gai Yin lightly glanced at Yuu Zifei and asked with a smile. "Oh, why? What do you think?"
"Why did you do this to me? What did I do wrong? You've been aggressive since we first met. Now you're even more unbridled. Do you really think I'm that easy to bully? Your attitude towards that woman just now is completely different from mine. Can you tell me the reason? I don't want to be bullied by you all the time... I also have my own pride."
Yuu Zifei spat out the unhappiness in her heart. She blamed Gai Yin and felt that she was innocent. She had no grudges with Gai Yin and didn't even know anything about it. She only found Gai Yin according to the Heavenly Secret Tower's Heavenly Secret Words, hoping that Gai Yin could break the seal on her body.
However, Yuu Zifei didn't expect that Gai Yin would make things difficult for her ever since she met Gai Yin. This made her feel very unpleasant.
Gai Yin was silent. He did not know how he should answer Yuu Zifei's question. Yuu Zifei was right. The reason Gai Yin treated Yuu Zifei like this was because he treated Yuu Zifei like a chess piece. He hoped to make Yuu Zifei his chess piece, so Gai Yin did his best to suppress Yuu Zifei. He wanted Yuu Zifei to give in completely.
Unfortunately, Gai Yin felt that there was something wrong with his plan. Even though Yuu Zifei did not have the strength to even truss a chicken, she still showed determination and courage. She did not give in under Gai Yin's coercion.
Gai Yin's extreme method made it impossible for Gai Yin to answer Yuu Zifei's question. He could only remain silent.
"Looks like it. Do you think I am a snake and scorpion beauty, or do you think I will be ungrateful, or do you want me to be your slave? In any case, even if I, Yuu Zifei die,i will not let your plan succeed! "
Finishing, Yuu Zifei turned around and was about to leave.
Gai Yin shook his head slightly. He had to keep Yuu Zifei. He grabbed Yuu Zifei's hand and said, "There are many things that I cannot tell you right now."
Gai Yin could not tell Yuu Zifei that she was a chess piece. Similarly, Gai Yin was doing it for Yuu Zifei's good. If a person knew that he was a chess piece of someone else, he would not feel good about it. Therefore, Gai Yin told Yuu Zifei seriously that she could not know about this now.
Yuu Zifei could not escape from Gai Yin's hand. She could only turn around and stare coldly at Gai Yin.
Gai Yin stood up. His two eyes were very close to each other, and they looked at each other.
Gai Yin let go of his hand. He stretched out his hand and took off the veil on Yuu Zifei's face. He said, " You don't need to wear this veil. Since you have stayed by my side,i should protect you."
Yuu Zifei's face began to turn slightly red. She had never looked into a man's eyes like this, and she had never been so close to a stranger. It could be said that this was the first time she felt touched in her heart.
However, Gai Yin's previous behavior still made Yuu Zifei very conflicted. Although her face was red and looked like she was lovable, she still pushed Gai Yin away with all her strength and mocked, "It's good that you don't bully me. Protect me. No need. I, Yuu Zifei, don't need anyone's protection."
Gai Yin was rejected, but Gai Yin just gently turned around to resolve the awkwardness. He took a deep breath and said, "What you have experienced before might be just an illusion. We are still too weak now, and the truth is not clear yet. So there are many things I can't explain to you clearly, and since I promised to help you, i will keep my promise, wait for me to recover... I'll continue to help you break the seal."
Yuu Zifei had some doubts. She wanted to ask, but she held it in. She did not ask and only nodded. She had obviously accepted Gai Yin's explanation.
Gai Yin turned around and asked, "Moon Embracing Jade Lion, how much do you know about Moon Embracing Jade Lion?"
Yuu Zifei wanted to tell Gai Yin some things about the Moon Embracing Jade Lion, but there were many unhappy things that happened until now. So now that Gai Yin asked this question, Yuu Zifei would not refuse to answer.
This time, Gai Yin took the initiative to pour a cup of tea. He invited Yuu Zifei to sit down. He wanted to have a good chat with Yuu Zifei about the Moon Embracing Jade Lion. This was because Moo Tingwan had entered the East Desolate Beast Forest before and had a relationship with the Moon Embracing Jade Lion. Gai Yin understood the existence of karma. Since Moo Tingwan had entered the East Desolate Beast Forest before, then Moo Tingwan must have done something that no one knew about.
In his previous life,zhan Zun knew his wife very well. His wife,huan Zun, always had her reasons for doing things. Gai Yin believed that Moo Tingwan also had the same reasons as Huan Zun.
