Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051: The Banquet Begins

Twilight Hour.

The storm that had raged all day had finally stopped.

The streets were washed clean by the rain.

And the City Lord’s Mansion, situated at the very center of the city, had its lanterns hung up early.

Servants bustled about, adding a touch of liveliness to this majestic residence.

This time, the City Lord’s nighttime banquet was unprecedented in scale, not only inviting various prestigious families of the City Lord, but also all the powerful figures from distant lands.

Thus, even though it was not yet fully dark, the long street outside the City Lord’s Mansion had already become lively.

One could see numerous luxurious carriages flying in from all directions, but no matter what the status of the arrivals, they had to alight and walk the rest of the way to the mansion as a show of respect.

Thus, there were early birds stationed here, planning to catch a glimpse of this rare excitement.

”There are people from the Zhu Family!”

”The Yang Family has also arrived!”

Such exclamations echoed one after another since the visitors were normally elusive figures of great importance.

At that moment, an extremely luxurious caravan arrived.

Then, an elderly woman with a full head of gray hair and a dignified demeanor alighted.

She surveyed the entire scene with one glance and then walked arrogantly into the City Lord’s Mansion.

After she left, the onlooking crowd stirred.

”Who was that elderly woman just now?”

”Don’t you know? In our city, which other elderly woman could hold such a position? It must be Elder Madam Zhuo from the Zhuo Family!”

With these words, many people’s expressions turned somewhat peculiar.

”Oh, so it’s that Elder Madam Zhuo who was publicly humiliated a while back!”

The events that had occurred at the Zhuo Family had spread throughout Cursed City, and these people obviously knew about it.

”Tsk, I can’t see anything unusual about her,” someone remarked.

”Hehe, of course you can’t see anything unusual now, but don’t you know? The person who dared to slap her has also been invited and might arrive soon. It seems this dinner will be quite lively!”

People buzzed with discussion.

Elder Madam Zhuo, of course, knew nothing of these whispers.

At that moment, she was sitting proudly at the guest of honor seat in the banquet hall, occasionally whispering to the Madam Zhuo and Zhuo Ya who had come with her.

”Why haven’t the people from Tian Fu Pavilion arrived yet?” Elder Madam Zhuo asked somewhat hesitantly.

By now, the hall was brightly lit, and most of the guests had arrived, making the banquet hall exceptionally lively, except for the absence of the people from Tian Fu Pavilion.

Madam Zhuo whispered softly, ”Elder Madam, this banquet is of great importance. Moreover, that man named Xue An is also coming. So, even just to avenge Xu Bao, the people from Tian Fu Pavilion must come!”

At the mention of the name Xue An, Elder Madam Zhuo’s expression instantly turned extremely ugly, and she snorted coldly through her nose.

”I can’t believe Her Majesty even invited him!”

Madam Zhuo smiled, ”Elder Madam, I think if Xue An is wise, he definitely won’t come! After all, he has made many enemies now!”

Elder Madam Zhuo could not help but sneer at this remark.

She, of course, was aware of what had happened at Profound Sea Tower.

When she heard that Xue An had publicly refined Jin Family’s young master, Elder Madam Zhuo was overjoyed.

The Jin Family’s strength was in no way inferior to the Zhuo Family’s, and even surpassed it in some aspects.

Now that Xue An was acting so arrogantly, clearly, he had made a mortal enemy of the Jin Family.

Thus, someone might take care of Xue An without her having to lift a finger.

At that moment, a disturbance suddenly arose at the entrance of the banquet hall.

A line of people then entered.

The leader was a delicate-looking man with a painted face, his appearance somewhat strange.

Upon seeing this person, many couldn’t help but be startled.

”It’s Kang Huazang, the senior brother from Tian Fu Pavilion!”

”The people from Tian Fu Pavilion have arrived!”

Among these cries of surprise, Kang Huazang smiled and nodded to the crowd, then he walked straight inside.

At this point, Elder Madam Zhuo also stood up, her face beaming as she said, ”Mr. Kang, please take a seat!”

Kang Huazang glanced at her and said indifferently, ”So, it’s Elder Madam Zhuo. The last time, I’m really thankful to you for sending my junior brother back. Especially since you left nothing behind, not even a piece of meat. It really was thoughtful!”

These words made Elder Madam Zhuo’s smile stiffen. ”Mr. Kang jests. When I invited Master Xu, I indeed had matters to discuss, but who could have anticipated what happened afterward! Even I nearly died at that fellow’s hands!”

Elder Madam Zhuo began to desperately distance herself from the incident, but Kang Huazang just smiled and said ambiguously, ”Madam, you need not be nervous, I was indeed thanking you just now! As for my junior brother’s matter, our Tian Fu Pavilion will naturally make a decision!”

Elder Madam Zhuo felt a surge of relief, then she tried to ingratiate herself with the senior brother from Tian Fu Pavilion.

However, Kang Huazang evidently did not wish to engage with her. After sitting down, he began to sip his tea.

Meanwhile.

Many people in the banquet hall started whispering among themselves.

”So many from Tian Fu Pavilion have come; it seems they have bad intentions!”

”Tsk tsk, did you see how fawning Elder Madam Zhuo’s expression was? She must be planning how to deal with that Xue An later!”

”Xue An? Is that the one who fought Elder Madam Zhuo and killed Tian Fu Pavilion’s Xu Bao?”

”Yes! I heard he was invited too!”

”Heh, unless he’s insane, there’s no way he would attend this banquet!” someone sneered.

Listening to this, everyone nodded in agreement.

”I think so too. If he dares to come, the first people to not let him off will be from Tian Fu Pavilion!”

”Eh, have you not noticed that someone is missing?” someone suddenly said in surprise.

”Who’s missing?”

”The Jin Family hasn’t arrived yet, and there’s definitely something fishy about that!”

At this, many people’s faces showed a strange expression.

They suddenly remembered that Xue An had had a conflict with the Jin Family the day before.

It seemed that this unknown Xue An had now offended almost all the major powers in the Cursed City!

”Phew, this guy, not to mention his strength, sure has a talent for trouble!” someone sighed.

Everyone deeply agreed.

Just when everyone believed that Xue An would definitely not show up.

On the main street in front of the City Lord’s Mansion, suddenly, many figures appeared.

These people, each dressed in blue and with a red band tied around their left arm, looked solemn.

And by their faces, it was clear that these were sailors usually found at sea.

Seeing this group of usually inconspicuous sailors, uniformly dressed and marching in step, appearing on the street.

Many people couldn’t help but gradually widen their eyes.

”What does this mean? Why aren’t these sailors staying at the port, and what are they doing here?”

While everyone was astonished, they saw a black carriage slowly approach, escorted by these sailors, from the end of the street.
