C813 To Dinner
After bidding Chen Kexin farewell, Ding Yi arrived at a bustling commercial street in the south of the river. Previously, Ding Yi looked in the mirror after being teased by Chen Kexin and found that he was indeed in a sorry state.
Three days later, Ding Yi was preparing to head to Jiangbei for that grand banquet. If his clothes were too unkempt, he might really be blocked outside the door by some unassuming security personnel.
Furthermore, even if the other party did not judge him by his appearance and let him in, with his casual appearance, there was no telling what kind of joke he would make. As an exceptional expert of the Earth Immortal Stage, he still had to pay attention to his strategy of dressing and appearance.
After Ding Yi arrived at the clothing counter, he spent several thousand yuan to buy a few simple sets of casual clothes. These clothes were both comfortable and tidy.
After a few simple preparations, Ding Yi found a random hotel to stay at for the time being. Three days quickly passed, and Ding Yi also came from Jiang-Nan as scheduled to participate in the unprecedented gathering that attracted the attention of tens of thousands.
Looking at the address on the invitation card, Ding Yi found that this reunion was at a place called Hidden Dragon Villa. This place wasn't located in the bustling center of Jiangbei City, but on the outskirts of the city, which was very quiet.
After Ding Yi changed his clothes, he took a taxi and went outside the villa. When he just arrived at the outer square, Ding Yi saw many luxury cars, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, all of which were at a very low level here. Only here did the Lamborghini Porsche and other tens of millions of luxury cars occupy the upper hand.
"As expected of the biggest gathering between Jiangnan and Jiangbei. From the looks of it, there are quite a few big shots who came to attend today's banquet." Ding Yi thought in his heart.
Other than those extremely bustling representatives in the mortal world, Ding Yi also noticed the presence of a lot of Cultivator's presence here. A few hidden auras even surpassed Chen Kexin's, and according to Ding Yi's estimation, they were probably at half-step Earth Immortal.
Ding Yi recalled back to the time when he was searching everywhere for experts from the Transcendence Stage Realm of Jiangnan and Jiangbei but never expected that there were already so many of them and people of the half-step into the Earth Immortal Realm.
"It seems like quite a number of powerful individuals have surfaced …" Ding Yi sighed in his heart.
When Ding Yi arrived at this place, he completely retracted the Spiritual Energy's energy waves from his body. Coupled with the fact that he was wearing casual clothes, even if he came here, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean.
Compared to Ding Yi's powerful cultivation, Ding Yi's casual attire attracted more attention. In a formal setting like this, people like Ding Yi, who dressed casually, were quite rare.
Those who noticed Ding Yi only treated him as a young noble who came from a certain family. No one would think that he was an unfathomable master at such a young age.
"Haha, Boss Wu, you came too?"
"Of course, you surely wouldn't miss a gathering like this, right?"
"Fellow Taoist, long time no see, come over here quickly …"
Before the banquet had even started, all sorts of greetings had been exchanged outside Hidden Dragon Villa. Under such a warm atmosphere, it was difficult for Ding Yi to find a quiet place.
"So many reputable figures are waiting outside peacefully. I have to admit that the organizers have quite the bit of authority …" Ding Yi sighed in his heart after observing for a while.
The hosts of this banquet were the two major clans of the region, the Northern and the Northern Clans of Heavenly Sound Sect, Qin Family of Jiangbei and Lu Gu of Jiangbei. Many of them had even had conflicts with Ding Yi.
For example, the two brothers Qin Wuming and Qin Wushuang of Qin Family were once defeated by Liu Tie, and the one who was in charge of Yinn Family, Old Lady Yinn, was even killed by Liu Tie.
"I wonder who the person in charge of the Yinn Family has changed to?" Ding Yi thought secretly.
But no matter who was in charge of the Yinn Family, if the other party still dared to come and find trouble with him, Ding Yi didn't mind having them change their manager. This was the confidence of a strong person.
Perhaps their identities were unattainable in the eyes of mortals, but in Ding Yi's eyes, they were never important figures. If the other party dared to provoke him, Ding Yi would definitely not leave them any face.
"Eh, it seems like there's someone who can enter …"
Ding Yi suddenly realized that the entrance to the Hidden Dragon Villa was open to some people. Just now, a few people with extraordinary cultivation had already entered the villa with their invitation cards.
"Finally, I don't have to keep waiting." Ding Yi, who had been waiting outside for a while, also felt a bit unhappy. From his point of view, the other people didn't have the right to make him wait for a long time.
Ding Yi arrived at the entrance of Hidden Dragon Villa and was about to take out the invitation card to show the other party. However, he didn't expect the two gatekeepers to stop Ding Yi without even looking at it.
"Stop, it's not time for you to enter yet. Please go outside and wait …" One of the guards said.
"Why can they go in …" Ding Yi pointed at the people who entered earlier.
"Since they are the guests for the banquet, they can naturally enter. I told you to just wait obediently. Where did all that nonsense come from …" The other gatekeeper spoke with even more arrogance and didn't place Ding Yi in his eyes at all.2
During the night, they had already been harassed several times by pretentious young masters like Ding Yi. The young people did not know much about the world, so they thought they had some background and wanted to do whatever they wanted here.
"Young man, I shall give you one last word of advice. Leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences." Seeing that Ding Yi still refused to leave, the two gatekeepers of the Hidden Dragon Institute became quite angry.
"The consequences?"
After hearing what they said, Ding Yi was suddenly a little amused by them. Two insignificant characters like the guard of Grandmaster Stage actually said such words to a Earth Immortal, Ding Yi felt like the world was going crazy with them.
Ding Yi originally wanted to clarify things with the other party, but unexpectedly, the other party didn't give him any chance at all. Since some people didn't care about face anymore, then Ding Yi didn't need to give them any face anymore.
Ding Yi shot them a contemptuous glance and said, "Make way for me now, or I'll make you guys bear the consequences..."
