Chapter 1522: Unexpected
With a ninth-order monk like Lin Feiyan with him, the path back to the Langxia Empire became much easier. Seeing that Shangyi was in sight, Lu Yi and Lin Feiyan agreed to separate, pretending not to know each other and entering the city separately, Lu Yi returned to his residence in the State Guesthouse, and Lin Feiyan went to find the same level monk of the Langxia Empire.
As soon as Lu Yi returned to his residence, the waiters of the Langxia Empire, who was in charge of managing his residence, sent a thick stack of worship posts, these were the surrounding forces who came to the banquet after hearing the rumors about Lu Yi and did not know the truth and wanted to make friends with Lu Yi, so they came to visit him before the banquet was held.
After Lu Yi took these prayer posts, he sat down and looked at them one by one, and asked the waiter from time to time what the identities of the people who sent the prayer posts were. Because there were still about five days before the start of the state banquet, Lu Yi decided to hold a small banquet for these people to talk about after going through all those prayer posts, firstly, to correct his name, and secondly, to take the opportunity to expand his popularity in the Northern Regions, so as to pave the way for his next step.
Lu Yi asked the waiter if there were any more high-end hotels in Shangyi City, but the waiter smiled and gave Lu Yi an answer that made him speechless - the largest hotel inn in Shangyi was their grandson's property. The waiter also asked Lu Yi strangely why he didn't hold a banquet in his hotel?
Lu Yi helped his forehead, didn't he know? If he knew that the Sun family had an industry here, wouldn't he have gone there a long time ago? Anyway, his whereabouts have been exposed, and it would be good to go to the Sun family to get some benefits. Lu Yi patted his thigh, and then went to Sun's house, and the banquet was arranged there, which could save him a sum of money, thinking about it, Lu Yi couldn't stop smiling. Lu Yi asked the waiter to reply to those who had sent the worship posts one by one, saying that two days later, he would hold a thank-you banquet at Sun's hotel "Chongtianlou" in Shangyi and leave the state guesthouse alone.
According to the waiter's instructions, Lu Yi quickly found the Sun family's industry "Chongtian Tower" located in the south of Shangyi City. Here, Lu Yi met another branch of the Sun family in the Northern Regions, they are all of the same sect as Sun Zhenghong and others in Xinggao City, but there are no old people of the "Zheng" generation, and now the head of the house is Sun Yaoxing, a sixth-order late-stage monk of the same generation as Lu Yi. After Sun Yaoxing saw Lu Yi, he told Lu Yi that Xinggao City had been summoned, and if Lu Yi had any requests, he would do everything possible to satisfy him. Lu Yi knew in his heart when he heard this, hehe, Sun Zhenghong owed himself a favor last time because of Sun Ximin's matter, this is a disguised show of favor to himself. Lu Yi didn't make any special requests, that is, he said that he wanted to hold a banquet here and meet with those people from the Northern Regions who wanted to see him. As soon as Sun Yaoxing heard this, he immediately vacated the most luxurious third floor of Chongtian Tower and handed it over to Lu Yi for use, and arranged the best wine and food for Lu Yi, vowing to help Lu Yi hold the highest level banquet in the Northern Regions.
Lu Yi left Chongtian Tower very satisfied, and before leaving, he politely declined Sun Yaoxing's invitation to Lu Yi to live in the family, but just took a bag of high-grade spirit stones that Sun Yaoxing gave him to "buy something casually and give it to his future brothers and sisters", the amount was 10,000.
Two days later, Lu Yi came to Chongtian Tower early in the morning, and Sun Yaoxing also came early to start directing his subordinates to work. Lu Yi turned around the banquet hall and went to the back kitchen to take a look, I have to say that the Sun family is an absolute expert in the catering industry, no matter the layout of the banquet scene or the selection of dishes, they have made thorough design and preparation. Lu Yi took out some Southern Regions specialties from his storage utensils and handed them to the kitchen, asking them to add a few Southern Regions specialties to the guests, and then he went back to the third floor and sat down, waiting for the guests with peace of mind.
It was almost noon, and guests began to arrive one after another, Lu Yi's eyes were black, and he didn't know anyone, but fortunately, Sun Yaoxing on the side was an authentic tenant, and he still knew a lot of guests, so it would not be cold to have him as an introducer. There are more and more people, and to Lu Yi's surprise, almost none of these guests come by themselves, and most of them will lead one or two juniors, and most of them are women. Lu Yi could also figure out with his toes what the purpose of these people was, and he couldn't help but secretly scolded Gongye Zongtian again.
The women in the Northern Regions are very arrogant, and some women saw that Lu Yi was so handsome, so they took the initiative to run to Lu Yi's side and surround him to ask this and that, and from time to time scratch their heads and gesture to attract Lu Yi's attention. Lu Yi, who was smoked by the fragrant wind, was dizzy, and soon he felt that he couldn't resist.
Originally, Lu Yi expected that there would be about a dozen or twenty guests, but the number of people suddenly doubled, and some people who arrived in Shangyi City later learned about it and came uninvited, and there were even more guests. Fortunately, the third floor of Chongtian Tower is large enough to accommodate nearly 100 people to gather at the same time, so it is not crowded when so many people are put in. Finally coping with the scheduled time, Lu Yi squeezed out of a group of warblers and swallows, used his mental power and coughed lightly, and sent this small sound to the ears of every guest, he was about to announce the start of the banquet.
