At the same time, in a huge square, the Yao family was hosting a banquet to welcome guests celebrating Yao Xian's coming-of-age ceremony. Most of these guests were from True Immortal forces within the Yaochi Immortal Realm, with a smaller portion being relatives from Madam Yao's side of the family.
As for the various Immortal King powerhouses who were on good terms with the Yao family, they naturally wouldn't be in the same area as these guests. Even if the Immortal Kings didn't mind, the guests wouldn't feel comfortable being in the same space as them.
The banquet was already packed, mostly with elders bringing their younger generation. Since today was the Yao family princess's coming-of-age ceremony, bringing a junior of similar age might lead to the Yao family princess taking a liking to their junior, which would be akin to a loach transforming into a real dragon.
Although everyone knew such a thing was impossible, there were always those who harbored fantasies.
Little Ya led Li Beifei and the other two to the banquet. She asked, "Young Master Li, do you still need me to take you to your master?"
"No need, we can find him ourselves. We wouldn't want to trouble you, Miss Little Ya," Li Beifei quickly shook his head. Finding those old guys now would be like courting death.
"Young Master Li, you're too polite. This is merely my duty. If that's the case, I'll take my leave first. If you need anything, you can ask the servants at the banquet."
With that, Little Ya departed.
After Little Ya left, Liu Yanran asked, "Young Master, what should we do next?"
Liu Yuran also looked at Li Beifei.
Both sisters relied on Li Beifei as their backbone. Perhaps they could manage on their own when Li Beifei wasn't around, but when he was, they would listen to him in everything.
Li Beifei wore a contemplative expression. He didn't know what to do either. It seemed there was no chance to find those two unreliable individuals.
He wasn't worried about anything happening to them. One was a True Dragon who used to be in the Immortal Emperor Realm, and the other was a Chaos Mystic Turtle who used to be in the Dao Breaking Realm. He believed that even if they faced an Immortal King, those two could find a way to escape unscathed.
Don't let Xuan Mingzi's constant teasing of Li Wangba fool you, nor Li Wangba's seemingly hopeless demeanor. Li Beifei knew that this guy simply didn't want to lower himself to Xuan Mingzi's level.
From Black Dragon and Li Wangba, he saw a reflection of himself. These two were also super tricksters, never revealing their true abilities.
He only hoped those two wouldn't steal all of the Yao family's treasures.
Thinking of this, Li Beifei sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not look for them. Let's find a place to sit first."
The two girls nodded. Since the Young Master said not to look for them, then they wouldn't.
However, Liu Yuran's thoughts were often ahead. She said, "If they cause any trouble, you'll get a slap from the Old Master again."
"..."
Li Beifei's face darkened.
"Can't you say something nice? Do you think I don't know that? I just didn't say it."
Li Beifei glared at Liu Yuran. I had forgotten about that until you brought it up. Thanks a lot!
Seeing the Young Master was angry, Liu Yuran couldn't help but shrink her neck. Liu Yanran also glared at her. Knowing that this was what the Young Master was most worried about, why did she have to bring it up? Wasn't she just rubbing salt in the Young Master's wounds?
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Just then, a slightly lewd voice rang in their ears. Li Beifei and the others looked towards the source of the sound and saw a young man who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
The man's features were sharp and distinct, but for some reason, they could always sense a hint of lewdness.
"Young Master, is he calling us?" Liu Yanran asked, puzzled.
Before Li Beifei could speak, the man came up to them and said, "Nonsense, of course, I'm calling you."
Li Beifei frowned and said, "Do you know us?"
"Do you know me?" the man countered.
"Of course not," Li Beifei said indifferently.
"If you don't know me, how would I know you? Alright, stop talking nonsense. We just need three more people to fill our table. How about sitting with us?" The man directly extended an invitation to Li Beifei and the others.
Li Beifei's eyes narrowed. He vaguely guessed the purpose of the man's strange behavior.
"Let's go!" Li Beifei said with a smile.
"You're a straightforward brother!" Seeing Li Beifei agree, the man revealed a happy smile on his face.
"My surname is Wei, given name is Suo. May I ask for the esteemed name of this brother? This is a custom you should know. People in our line of work always have to know each other's names when sitting together," the man gave a simple self-introduction.
"Uh..."
After hearing the name Wei Suo, Li Beifei suddenly understood. No wonder he could sense a lewd aura from so far away. With a name like Wei Suo, how could he not be lewd?
"I'm Bai Yifei!"
Li Beifei said with a smile.
After hearing this, Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran almost burst out laughing.
Wei Suo nodded and said, "Brother Bai, may I know the names of the two fairies beside you? You should know the rules. In our line of work, we always need to know each other's names when sitting together."
"My name is Yang Liu!" Liu Yanran said.
After Liu Yanran finished speaking, Liu Yuran looked at her questioningly, as if saying, 'Why didn't you tell me you were changing your name? What should I call myself now?'
Liu Yanran gave her a reassuring look and then said, "This is my sister, Yang Yi. She is a woman of few words and doesn't like to talk."
Li Beifei's eyes widened when he heard Liu Yanran introduce Liu Yuran like this. He didn't know that Liu Yuran was a woman of few words and didn't like to talk?
Liu Yuran was also very depressed. She felt that her sister had tricked her. From now on, she would have to play the role of the silent Yang Yi, or she would be exposed.
After hearing this, Wei Suo said, "Being silent is good. Less talk, fewer mistakes."
"The three of you, come with me."
Wei Suo said, leading the way.
Seeing this, Li Beifei and the others slowly followed.
Just as they left this place, a figure appeared. He looked at Li Beifei's figure, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
"What good luck, to actually encounter someone from Bai Yifei's side, and a sword cultivator at that."
The figure murmured. He deeply remembered Li Beifei's aura and then left.
On a high platform, Gu Changsheng stood, able to overlook the entire square.
"This kid, his enemies have even spread to other worlds?" Gu Changsheng wondered. He had just sensed the killing intent that the figure had directed at Li Beifei.
The figure's cultivation wasn't strong, only in the True Immortal Realm, but for the current Li Beifei, he was clearly not an opponent he could face directly.
"But if it were any other time, so be it. Today is Yao Xian's coming-of-age ceremony. To dare reveal killing intent at this time is courting death!"
Gu Changsheng's eyes turned cold. With a wave of his hand, the figure appeared in the void before him.
"Uh..."
The man looked around in confusion. He didn't understand why he had appeared here. When he saw Gu Changsheng, his pupils shrank and he asked, "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
Gu Changsheng simply glanced at him coldly, not bothering to waste words. He directly performed a soul search on him.
A moment later, Gu Changsheng gently clenched his hand, and the man silently dissipated into the world. He had also learned the man's identity.
This man was from a force called the Underworld Sect in the Yaochi Immortal Realm. On the surface, this man was the leader of the Underworld Sect, but in reality, he was just a puppet. The real Underworld Sect was a subordinate force of the World Plunderer Organization, which had been lurking in the Tai Xu Realm for many years.
Gu Changsheng calculated with his fingers and knew why the World Plunderer Organization had targeted Li Beifei.
Actually, they weren't targeting Li Beifei, but all those named Bai Yifei.
Gu Changsheng's expression was strange. He naturally knew the whole story.
"This rebellious disciple, even tricking his own brothers."
