Chapter 644: Life and Death Determined by Fate (Part )

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

When the intoxicated Luo Tianjin was supported by Xie Xuan and was about to leave, most of the people were already drunk. Some were lying on the table, drowsy, some were dancing, some were talking nonsense, and threatening to drink another 300 cups. There were groups of people in and out of the hall, and the scene was very funny.

"Drunk! Really drunk!"

Facing the people who kept urging him to drink, Luo Tianjin, with a flushed face, walked out of the hall, waving his hands repeatedly and said, "I have drunk so much tonight that I forget myself. I just regret not knowing what day it is or what year it is. I am sorry to have made a fool of myself..."

"Ha ha……"

Luo Tianjin's words were humorous and caused a burst of laughter.

"Tomorrow is Laba Festival, and I have a great happy event to announce to you all." Luo Tianjin burped and laughed incoherently, "I hope you can bear witness for me. I will be very grateful..."

"Why does Alliance Leader Luo have to be so mysterious?" someone asked, "Everyone knows that Alliance Leader Luo is getting his daughter married tomorrow. We have already received the wedding invitation before we came here, right?"

"That's right! It seems that Lord Luo is really drunk, otherwise he wouldn't say such stupid things."

"Ha ha……"

Along with the teasing, bursts of laughter were heard from the crowd again.

In fact, it was no secret that Liu Xunyi and Luo Ningyu's wedding was cancelled, and many people present had heard about it. However, Luo Tianjin, as the host, had not yet announced it, and the others, as guests, were even less able to speak directly. Therefore, everyone pretended to be confused, just acting according to the situation.

"No! No!" Luo Tianjin exhaled alcohol and said drunkenly, "I have another happiness..."

"Oh?" Tang Yuan rolled his eyes and asked curiously, "May I ask what happy event it is?"

"I'll keep you in suspense and not tell you yet..." Luo Tianjin said mysteriously, "You will know tomorrow morning, hehe..."

"In that case, we will wait anxiously until dawn to share in the good fortune of Alliance Leader Luo!"

"Haha...it's a deal!"

While he was speaking, Luo Tianjin suddenly tripped. If Xie Xuan hadn't helped him in time, he would have fallen down in a mess.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but look worried, and rushed to persuade: "Alliance Master Luo is drunk, please go back and rest!"

"I am not good at drinking. I am so ashamed!" Luo Tianjin said intermittently, "Please go ahead, I will...vomit first!"

Before he could finish his words, Luo Tianjin's face suddenly changed, and he covered his mouth and staggered to the side. Xie Xuan, Deng Changchuan and others hurriedly chased after him and served him carefully.

In response to this, the guests smiled at each other, and they were not surprised. After all, everyone took turns to toast Luo Tianjin tonight, so it was reasonable for him to be drunk like this.

"Come on, let's keep drinking!"

"Please please please!"

Luo Tianjin's departure did not affect everyone's mood. They continued to toast and eat and drink happily.

"Oh, Mrs. Lowe!"

During the banquet, Yin Baimei, the head of Kunlun Sect, was the first to notice Ling Xiaoxiao. His face immediately straightened, and he hurriedly stood up and bowed to Ling Xiaoxiao: "Greetings, Madam Alliance Leader! We are eating and drinking and making a lot of noise here. I wonder if we are disturbing Madam's rest?"

"What did Sect Leader Yin say?"

Tonight, Ling Xiaoxiao was dressed in red and heavily made up. She was no longer as elegant as before, but rather charming and even a little... seductive. She was completely different from the usually dignified and generous Madam Luo.

Therefore, as soon as she appeared, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at her with surprise.

Some young disciples, due to their lack of self-control, took advantage of the alcohol to secretly develop improper thoughts about the charming Ling Xiaoxiao.

But he changed his mind and realized that Ling Xiaoxiao was the wife of the leader of the martial arts world. Even if she was drunk and daring, she would not dare to be unruly.

"It's a cold winter night, and you've all been drunk. I'm worried that the cold will enter your bodies, so I ordered someone to boil some ginger soup. You should drink it while it's hot to get rid of the alcohol."

After saying that, Ling Xiaoxiao waved her jade hand lightly, and the maids brought bowls of ginger soup and delivered them to the guests one by one.

"Although the Shaolin monks didn't drink, they still chatted with us for a long time in the cold night, so drink some ginger soup to warm your body!"

"Amitabha, I would like to thank you for the soup!" Xuanming clasped his hands together and thanked Ling Xiaoxiao personally.

"No matter how old or young, noble or humble, everyone here is an honored guest." Ling Xiaoxiao pointed at the disciples of various sects waiting on the side and instructed the maids, "Send a bowl to each of you young heroes as well. How dare you neglect them?"

"Thank you ma'am!"

Out of courtesy, everyone held up the ginger soup, toasted it to Ling Xiaoxiao from a distance, and then drank it while it was hot.

Regarding the conflict between Ling Xiaoxiao and Luo Tianjin, even the Xianwang Mansion knew very little, let alone these outsiders? Therefore, facing the hospitality of the hostess of the Xianwang Mansion, everyone could only be endlessly grateful, how could they not know how to appreciate it?

What's more, Ling Xiaoxiao's biological father was also among the guests, and no one would have thought that there could be anything strange about a mere bowl of ginger soup.

Soon, everyone finished drinking the ginger soup and bowed to Ling Xiaoxiao again to express their gratitude.

"When you come to the Xianwang Mansion, it's like being at home. Don't be too rigid. Please feel free to do as you please!"

"Yes, ma'am!" "Even if that's the case, I won't bother you any more and will take my leave now!"

"Madam, walk slowly!"

After the greetings, Ling Xiaoxiao turned and left. She came suddenly and left calmly, just like a "virtuous wife" who took care of Luo Tianjin's guests and friends.

After Ling Xiaoxiao walked away, many people at the table still praised her and secretly envied Luo Tianjin for being able to marry such a virtuous wife.

At the same time, Luo Tianjin returned to the study with the help of Xie Xuan, Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang.

However, when Huang Yulang closed the door tightly, a frightening gleam suddenly flashed across Luo Tianjin's erratic drunken eyes. In an instant, the drunkenness disappeared and his spirits were lifted.

"Palace Master, what are you doing..."

Seeing this, Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang were stunned, both of them were completely confused.

"Now that things have come to this, I don't have to hide it from you." Luo Tianjin took the tea handed over by Xie Xuan, took a sip, and then said nonchalantly, "Tonight, something big will happen in the Xianwang Mansion!"

"what?"

Just these words made Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang's faces change, and their expressions became more and more confused.

"What does the Lord mean?"

Facing Deng Changchuan's questioning, Luo Tianjin slowly shook his head: "This is a long story, and it cannot be explained in a few words. I can only tell you that someone wants to kill me tonight, but you don't have to panic, because I have prepared a response plan. You just need to be calm and beware of other people's changes!"

"hiss!"

Luo Tianjin's words were incoherent, which made Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang tremble with fear, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

"Who is so bold as to assassinate the leader of the martial arts world?" Huang Yulang was furious. Suddenly, he changed his mind and said in surprise, "Since the palace master expected something to happen tonight, why did he let Liu Xunyi send out all the eight sects' disciples? In this case, wouldn't it be..."

"Yulang, don't panic!" Xie Xuan interrupted, "If Liu Xunyi hadn't called out the eight sect disciples, how would we have known that something had changed tonight?"

"What do you mean?" Deng Changchuan stared blankly at Luo Tianjin who was confident in his decision, and said in surprise, "The more I listen, the more confused I get. Why did you find out only after Liu Xunyi sent out the Eight Sects disciples..."

At this point, Deng Changchuan suddenly had an idea, his face instantly turned ugly, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be... that this matter is related to Liu Xunyi?"

"So, Liu Xunyi is really a traitor planted in the palace by the court?" Huang Yulang reacted very quickly, guessing the key point from just a few words, and said sternly, "I will kill him now!"

"stop!"

Luo Tianjin's face darkened and he said unhappily: "If you want to kill him, why not kill me first!"

"This..." Huang Yulang was stunned. "What does the Lord mean? Did I guess wrong?"

"No!" Luo Tianjin said in a deep voice, "You guessed right, the people who wanted to kill me tonight were Zhao Yuan and Liu Xunyi."

Deng Changchuan was shocked and said hurriedly: "Zhao Yuan has returned to Lin'an, why is he..."

"Zhao Yuan didn't leave at all. He pretended to go back to Lin'an, but it was just a trick to deceive people." Xie Xuan explained.

Huang Yulang gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "No need to say more, I will kill Liu Xunyi first, and then settle the score with Zhao Yuan..."

"presumptuous!"

Luo Tianjin's loud shout immediately frightened Huang Yulang, who was eager to try, and Deng Changchuan, who was confused, so much that they trembled. They stared blankly at Luo Tianjin, whose face was as gloomy as water, and were so surprised that they couldn't speak for a long time.

"I'll say it again, none of you can hurt Liu Xunyi, even if... he wants to kill me."

"Why?"

"I will tell you the real reason in the future." Luo Tianjin said impatiently, "But not now, so you don't need to ask more."

"This……"

Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang were full of doubts and turned their eyes to Xie Xuan at the same time, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"You don't have to be suspicious. The Palace Master also has his own difficulties." Xie Xuan comforted him, "After tonight, the Palace Master will explain it to you clearly."

Hearing this, Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang nodded doubtfully. Although they were still puzzled, seeing that Luo Tianjin and Xie Xuan looked nervous as if they were facing a great enemy, they did not want to ask any more questions.

"Brother Xie, how is the progress of the thing I asked you to arrange?" Luo Tianjin ignored the reactions of Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang, and asked Xie Xuan directly, his tone sounding a little anxious.

"Liu Xunyi found a troupe of opera performers from Junzhou, and they are in the mansion right now." Xie Xuan said very cryptically, "Today, Liu Xunyi ordered them to set up a stage in the East Courtyard, so I guess..."

At this point, Xie Xuan subconsciously glanced at Deng and Huang, who were in a state of confusion, and then said bluntly: "I think Zhao Yuan and Liu Xunyi are planning to attack the owner of the mansion in the East Courtyard. Therefore, I have ordered Murong Bai and Deng Quan to lead people to secretly surround the East Courtyard."

"Yes!" Deng Changchuan suddenly realized, "I haven't seen Murong Bai and Deng Quan for many days. Where did they go?"

"When it's time, they will show up." Luo Tianjin said in a secretive manner, "The East Courtyard will be very lively tonight."
