Chapter 56 Invitation


Chapter 56 Invitation

Three days later, Tiandou City.

"Invitation?"

As soon as Lin Rong returned to the Duke's Mansion, there was a servant holding a red post in his hands, with two large characters - Tang Sect - Tang Men stamped on it with gold powder.

"Tangmen? What kind of drama is this guy Tang San going to put on?"

The gilded invitation flew away from the attendant's hand and floated in front of Lin Rong.

I saw the post saying:

Presented by: Prince Lin Rong personally expresses his/her signature.

I would like to celebrate the ninth birthday of Tang San, the leader of our sect, in seven days.

At that time, a birthday celebration will be held at our headquarters, and there will also be an exhibition of our unique hidden weapons.

Please come, Bai He, the elder of the Tang Sect, cordially invites you.

"White Crane!"

After Lin Rong finished reading the invitation, there was no movement in his expression. The invitation floating in front of him flew into the hands of the old housekeeper behind him.

Then, as Lin Rong walked towards the mansion, he asked the attendant:

"When will this post be delivered?"

The attendant followed up, lagging behind Lin Rong and the old housekeeper, and replied respectfully:

"Reply to your lord, this post was delivered four days ago."

After hearing this, Lin Rong thought:

"Four days ago? There are three days before the banquet."

"There are four elders in the Tang Sect: Tai Tan, Lou Gao, Niu Gao, and Bai He. This is Tiandou City. Logically speaking, the last signature on the invitation should be Tai Tan."

"Could it be that old guy Bai He learned about the preciousness of Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng from Tang San and was dissatisfied with the previous transaction?"

"So, Bai He specially signed the invitation this time, hoping to use the power of the Tang Sect to suppress others? So that I can return the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to him?"

"Hmph! Wishful thinking!"

Lin Rong admitted that Bai He had a good plan, but chose the wrong time.

If Bai He had come to ask for the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng a few months earlier, there would have been Titan Niugao and two Contras standing up for him, and the old housekeeper was still in seclusion, Lin Rong would have really had to give up the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Return the dragon ginseng to him.

But unfortunately, Bai He has missed the best opportunity.

After the old butler came out of seclusion, his soul power exceeded the ninety-level mark. Although he had not obtained the ninth soul ring, he was not afraid of Tai Tai and Niu Gao just by suppressing his soul power.

Not to mention that after the trip to the Frozen Forest, the old housekeeper not only possessed a hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone, but his own soul power also broke through from level ninety to level ninety-six.

Among the four elders of the Tang Sect, Bai He has no fighting power; Lou Gao has fighting power but can be ignored.

After getting rid of two of them, there were only two Contras left, Tai Tai and Niu Gao, whose soul power did not even reach level 85. They were not afraid of the old butler at all.

"Who did the Tang Sect invite to the banquet this time?"

In the courtyard, Lin Rong walked into the pavilion and asked the attendant behind him.

This kind of thing does not require Lin Rong's orders. After the invitation from the Tang Sect was delivered to the Duke's Palace, there would naturally be secret guards to investigate these matters.

Since the attendant came with the invitation and presented it to Lin Rong, he was naturally informed of the results of the investigation by the secret guard.

So, the attendant waited for Lin Rong to finish asking the question, stood outside the pavilion, saluted, and then reported the results of the investigation to the secret guard:

"Sir, for this birthday celebration of the head of the Tang Sect, all the prominent forces in Dou City have been invited."

"Among these invited forces, the only ones that need attention are the royal family and the Qibao Glazed Sect."

"After the royal family accepted the invitation, Emperor Xueye asked Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and fourth prince Xue Beng to attend the banquet instead of the royal family."

"As for the Qibao Glazed Sect, the news is that Sect Master Ning personally attended the banquet."

In the pavilion, Lin Rong sat on a stone bench. After listening to the attendant's report, he muttered:

"Ning Fengzhi attended the banquet in person? It really gave Tang San a lot of face."

"It seems that the Tang Sect's hidden weapons are still as attractive to the Qibao Glazed Sect as ever!"

"The people attending the banquet for the royal family are Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng, and Xue Ye is playing tricks on the emperor again."

"In three days, it's okay to go to Tangmen. Just in time to see how far Tang San has grown. How long will it take until the day he can compete with Qian Renxue?"

"If that old guy Bai He is really out of his mind and wants to use the power of the Tang Sect to overwhelm others and take this opportunity to take back the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, then don't blame me for being rude."

"When the time comes, if Tang San is willing to keep Bai He, then he can extort something good from Tang San; if Tang San is unwilling to keep Bai He, then he can only blame Bai He for his own bad luck."

Because the Min clan has roots in Tiandou City and has established a scouting force in the city. In order to prevent the people of the Min clan from discovering the domesticated sharp-tailed swifts.

Every time the Sharp-tailed Swift sent information, it had to stop at the outskirts of Tiandou City and let the secret guards who took turns guarding there take out the information it carried.

Not only was a lot of time wasted, but it also reduced the efficiency of the intelligence network.

Lin Rong was worried that he had no excuse to attack the Min clan, but Bai He himself gave him the reason to attack. What a good person!

As for whether the Tang Sect would be injured or not, he was not the head of the Tang Sect, so these were not things he should consider.

Besides, Lin Rong only needed Tang San to be strong enough to deal with Qian Renxue.

A clan like the Min clan, which has not improved its hard power but has greatly improved its soft power, is redundant in Lin Rong's eyes.

Tang San only needed hard power to deal with Qian Renxue. Soft power like scouts would have no effect at all when the top experts on both sides were fighting.

Since the existence of the Min clan does not affect Tang San's ability to deal with Qian Renxue, it also hinders the intelligence network in his hands.

Lin Rong naturally would not let Tang San control this power.

Even if Bai He doesn't come up with an excuse himself, he will find other suitable excuses to deal with the Min clan.

……

The second day.

Deep in the manor, in the center of the banyan tree forest.

Xu Pan stood under a banyan tree and was reporting something.

"Sir, Ma Hongjun has been practicing diligently and hard for the past eight months. A few days ago, his soul power has broken through to level 29."

"In the past eight months, my subordinates have become familiar with various military disciplines of the army, but they are still a little behind in studying the art of war."

After the report, Lin Rong, who was multitasking, practiced the Marrow Cleansing Sutra and said:

"Normally, the art of war requires experiencing actual combat to understand the essence."

"If you haven't really participated in a battlefield fight, no matter how good you learn the art of war, you can only talk about it on paper."

"It's not your fault, just go to the battlefield and practice more."

"I understand." Xu Pan answered and was about to salute and leave.

"Wait, you take this." Lin Rong called out to Xu Pan, and a stream of cyan light passed through the air and appeared in front of Xu Pan.

Xu Pan took a closer look and found that the thing in the blue light was actually a soul bone.

"Sir, this is too precious, I..."

After recognizing that the thing in front of him was a soul bone, Xu Pan's words were somewhat incoherent.

Seeing this, Lin Rong said:

"No need to refuse, the most suitable person in the house to absorb this soul bone is you."

"This soul bone is called the right leg of the bloodthirsty hurricane. It is over 20,000 years old. It is not one of the three soul bones inherited by my family."

"His soul bone skills go crazy, and the effect is that the three attributes of attack, defense, and speed are increased by 100%."

"Therefore, this soul bone is suitable for a battle soul master with a beast martial soul."

"Uncle Yu and I are both weapon souls. We do not rely on physical strength in battle, and our compatibility with this soul bone is extremely low."

"Besides, among the guards and secret guards, you are the one with the highest qualifications, the greatest achievements, and the most compatible martial soul."

"The task on your shoulders is very important. It is impossible to be too weak, and this soul bone can help you."

After listening to these words, Xu Pan took the soul bone floating in the air with both hands and answered:

"Yes, thank you, sir, and I will resign."

After saying that, Xu Pan stepped back facing Lin Rong until Lin Rong was no longer in sight, then turned around and walked out of the banyan forest.

Banyan Forest Center.

Lin Rong was practicing the Marrow Cleansing Sutra and thinking about things in her mind.

Ma Hongjun, who is still two months away from turning nine, has already reached level 29 in soul power.

In a few months, after Ma Hongjun breaks through level 30 and obtains the third soul ring, it will be time to take him to see Marshal Ge Long.

Back then, Ge Long owed him a favor from the Lin family when he was young, and now it's time to repay it.
