Along the way, when they met people who saw that Hua Ruge had recovered so quickly, they couldn't help but look at her twice, but they were not too curious. After all, she was Tuoba Rui's woman, and there was no way she did not have a pill with her.
Hua Ruge felt that having a strong man in Superior Sect was not bad, it would be best to take the blame.
She drank a lot and went back to sleep at night. The next morning, someone knocked on the door again.
Hua Ruge could not even open his eyes as he said in a daze, "Wan Rou, if you continue to knock on the door, do you believe that I will break off all ties with you?"
"Junior Sister Ru Ge, please wake up. Senior Brother is calling you over." Zhao Yue's voice came from outside the door.
When Hua Ruge heard this familiar voice, he immediately became more clear-headed, and he rubbed his eyes and said: "Senior Brother, I will go over shortly."
"Alright." Zhao Yue left behind a single word before he left.
After Hua Ruge got off the bed, he was still yawning, but it was better after washing his face, so he put on his clothes and left the room.
When she arrived at the discussion room, she discovered that there weren't many people there, only Kong Xiu and Ling Yun.
"Good morning, seniors." As Hua Ruge said this, he couldn't help but yawn once again, causing the two of them to not know whether to laugh or cry.
Ling Yun took the lead and said: "I forgot that you went to drink last night, so I should have called for you later."
Hua Ruge rubbed his nose and said: "Sorry, Senior Brother."
"Of course not, it's too late to envy your capriciousness." Ling Yun said sincerely.
These genius disciples had always had a high chance of being entrusted with by others, other than cultivating, they basically did not do anything that they liked, so when they saw Hua Ruge's attitude, they were more or less envious.
Hua Ruge laughed embarrassedly, then said: "Is there something that the two senior brothers want to see us about?"
"Look at this." Kong Xiu said as he pointed to a red invitation card on the table.
Hua Ruge opened the invitation card and was shocked to find that the invitation had come from the City Lord's Mansion. The contents were: The City Lord would marry his concubine three days later, and invite Yuxu Sect to the banquet.
She returned the invitation card and asked, "Have the various sects received it?"
"Not only the Door of Immortality, even those gangs have received invitations." Ling Yun said.
"Marrying a concubine in such a grand fashion is really rare." Hua Ruge stroked his chin.
"I heard that he was extremely fond of this concubine, but from what I've heard recently, this is just the reason." Kong Xiu said as he resisted laughing, "According to the servants in the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord cried for the entire night the night we started the war with the gangs."
Hua Ruge expressed his sympathy, but when he thought about how a dignified City Lord would be crying at home, he could not help but smile.
"So his goal should be to reveal some information about that mountain to us and persuade us?" she guessed.
"I think so. We still need to take a look at the details." Ling Yun then continued, "Earlier, everyone discussed and each sect sent three people to participate. We wanted you to follow us, what do you think?"
"Since you two senior apprentice-brothers value me, then I'll respectfully accept your offer." Hua Ruge agreed straightforwardly, and did not decline. This competition was very important for both the individual and the sect. If one could put in a bit of effort at this moment, they couldn't afford to hold back.
It had to be said that the City Lord's Mansion's invitation had indeed set off some waves. When everyone heard of the news regarding Primordial Mountain, they all decided to attend the banquet.
Without a doubt, the City Lord's Mansion was able to receive and prepare many people. In the next few days, many servants could be seen bustling about on the streets.
When Hua Ruge went out to eat and drink, he had casually asked about the background of this concubine of the City Lord.
After Ye Wanrou heard this, he suggested for Hua Ruge to change into male attire during the banquet so that he wouldn't be targeted. It wasn't that Hua Ruge didn't want her to reveal her Shape-Changing Pill, but what she had done at Sanfeng Mountain was very likely to be exposed.
Three days passed by quickly and the disciples of the various sects and gangs had all pretty much recovered. Some of them were able to represent the disciples in attending the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion.
Hua Ruge changed into a relatively ordinary cyan colored long skirt and followed Kong Xiu and Ling Yun out. Just as they left the room, they saw the recovered Lv Zisheng.2
His eyes lit up when he saw Hua Ruge. Even though he wanted to restrain himself, he still couldn't tear his eyes away from his subconscious mind. It was only after three seconds that he gained control of his mind through his instinctive reaction, and said: "Junior Sister Ru Ge, I haven't seen you for a few days, is your body alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Lu. I have fully recovered." Hua Ruge said perfunctorily.
After Lv Zisheng and Kong Xiu greeted each other, they walked to Hua Ruge's side and started chatting.
Hua Ruge could only follow along and answer, patiently waiting.
Seeing the two of them walking together, Ling Yun could not help but ask in a low voice: "Didn't anyone tell him about the relationship between Junior Sister Ru Ge and that person from Limitless Sword Sect?"
"I'm also curious, or does he want to fight with that senior?" Kong Xiu such a stiff person could not help but gossip.
"But I feel that if Ruge wants to deal with him, he doesn't need that senior to do so." Ling Yun said again.
Kong Xiu looked at him and said, "You also think that her strength is not weaker than Zhan Tian?"
"Senior Brother, I forgot. I participated in the new disciple test." Ling Yun said meaningfully.
Although Kong Xiu had some previous thoughts, there was still an expression of astonishment in his eyes after he confirmed his guess, but he did not say anything. After all, there were too many people present, so it would be better to not reveal it.
In the beginning, Lv Zisheng thought that saving Hua Ruge would help him gain a good impression. However, through their interactions, he realized that the situation was not like this.
When Hua Ruge talked with him, it was still at the stage of politeness. Many of the topics were just a few perfunctory words with no deeper meaning, and these appearances revealed her attitude towards him. Not only did she not have a good impression of him, she was also a little impatient.
This confused him greatly. If the other women did not take the initiative to stick up for him, no matter what, they would have given their consent. However, he had never encountered a situation like Hua Ruge's.
He really wasn't sure, so he decided to give it a try. He said, "Junior Sister Ru Ge, after talking for so long, I still don't know if you have a man you like?"
"Yes, senior brother." Hua Ruge answered very straightforwardly. In fact, she was waiting for Lv Zisheng to ask.
Lv Zisheng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard such a straightforward answer, and for a moment, he didn't know how to reply.
Hua Ruge politely smiled at him, and retreated back to Kong Xiu and Ling Yun's side with a helpless expression.
Kong Xiu and Ling Yun knew she was troubled, so they stood by her side to prevent Lv Zisheng from approaching them again.
After hearing Hua Ruge's answer, Lv Zisheng was a little disappointed. He silently wanted to investigate thoroughly, so he did not come to find her to say anything.
Hua Ruge heaved a sigh of relief.
As soon as they arrived at the street where the Mayor's Palace was, they saw lanterns and decorations everywhere. The servants were all wearing bright red clothes, and they welcomed the people who came and went. The atmosphere was quite grand.
Immortal Sect disciple walked in from one side of the street under Elder Chen's lead, while the people from the other side walked in, and the two groups slowly met.
