Chapter 174 Invitation
Chapter 174 Invitation
Asura breathed a sigh of relief after entering Blue City. If he couldn't make it to Blue City today, Lan Yu would probably strangle him to death when they met in the future, right?
Fortunately, he arrived safely. Asura smiled knowingly when he thought of the birthday gift he prepared for her. He guessed that the girl with long legs would treat him better this time?
Ashura glanced at the brightly lit castle in the center of the city and said to the void behind him, "I'm going to Blue City to do something. You should go to the vicinity of Saint Goban City to practice first. I'll come find you when I'm done!"
The shadow behind him rode onto his horse, put her arm around his waist, and told him to treat his injuries as soon as possible. She was ready to be called by her master at any time, and then she disappeared on the horse.
After Ashura arranged for Ying, he no longer hesitated and rode at full speed towards the castle in the center of the city.
At this time, the Blue City Lord's Castle was very lively, and a large number of nobles dressed in formal attire entered the Lord's Mansion.
The family guards at the door were checking the invitations to the eldest lady's birthday party one by one, and registering the birthday gifts brought by the guests!
What shocked the guests even more was that the protagonist of tonight's banquet, Miss Lancheng, Lan Yu, was standing at the door in her gorgeous attire.
A luxurious blue dress highlights Lan Yu's tall and sexy figure, her fair skin is particularly dazzling, and her beautiful face makes the moonlight tonight pale in comparison!
A group of young men who came to attend the banquet stood at the door for a long time, unwilling to enter the banquet hall. They all stared at the most beautiful girl in Blue City with obsessed eyes!
But at this time, Lan Yu seemed to be waiting for someone. His beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled into a "川" shape, and his hands were constantly twisting the hem of his dress as he looked up into the distance.
He kept muttering, "You promised me, you said you would come..."
Just as Lan Yu was growing increasingly impatient, a commanding voice rang out from behind her: "Daughter, it's almost time. The guests are all here. Let's go in!"
The person who spoke was Lan Yu's father, Lan Li, the lord of Lan City.
It is said that this powerful person, whose strength has reached the third stage of Great Demon Martial Master, is looking for an opportunity to break through to the realm of Martial Saint.
Lan Yu turned around to look at her father who loved her so much, and whispered in a low voice, as if she was feeling extremely aggrieved, "Father, I want to stand here for a while!"
Lan Li was slightly taken aback by his daughter's unusual behavior, but then he looked around and said, "You are the star of the show tonight. You can't let these guests stand outside with you, right?"
Then he looked meaningfully at the young people who didn't dare to look him in the eye.
After hearing this, Lan Yu sighed slightly, glanced at the street in the distance, lifted her skirt angrily and walked into the castle.
Seeing this, the group of young men followed her in one after another. Lan Li chuckled, shook his head and walked into the castle.
Just as the birthday party in the castle was about to begin, Ashura appeared in front of the castle gate on his charcoal horse, looking dusty. He jumped off his dragon horse first under the unfriendly gaze of the guards at the gate.
Then he smiled and said to the Lan family guard at the door: "Brother, I'm here to attend Lan Yu's birthday party. Please let me in!"
The guard at the door took a look at the disheveled Ashura and said in a businesslike manner, "Please show us your invitation!"
Ashura was stunned for a moment and said, "She didn't give me an invitation, she just asked me to attend her birthday party today!"
The guard couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, and then said disdainfully: "No invitation, no entry. I've seen many people like you. There are many people in Lancheng who want to see our eldest lady, but a poor boy like you, stay away!"
After hearing this, Asura looked at his current miserable appearance and felt a little bit amused.
Still, he bravely took out ten gold coins and handed them over, saying, "Brother, please go in and inform them for me. It was really your eldest daughter who asked me to come!"
The guard at the gate's face changed when he saw his bribery. Today was such an important day and there couldn't be any mistakes, otherwise the city lord would skin him alive.
So he shouted sternly: "If you don't have an invitation, leave immediately. If you dare to make trouble here again, don't blame me for being rude!" After that, he drew out a piece of sword!
Asura took two steps back helplessly upon seeing this, feeling angry that Lan Yu hadn't given him an invitation, putting him in such a difficult position.
But not having an invitation was no reason for him not to go in. Ashura knew full well that one couldn't reason with a woman.
So Ashura took Heitan and left the castle gate, slowly walked around the huge castle wall, and came to a corner where the guards couldn't see him. He took a deep breath, jumped up, grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands, and in no time he climbed over a section of the castle wall.
Asura tiptoed past the groups of patrolling guards, both covert and overt, and sneaked towards the brightly lit birthday party venue where many people were gathered. He wanted to find an opportunity to meet Lan Yu, give him a gift, and then leave!
At this time, the garden of the city lord's castle was bustling with people, hundreds of guests in luxurious clothes were chatting with their acquaintances.
The banquet had just begun and the guests had not yet arrived at the banquet hall and taken their seats.
The city lord Lan Li also entertained the guests with his two brothers Lan Meng and Lan Mou, but the protagonist of tonight, Lan Yu, did not appear at the scene. Instead, he was in his boudoir throwing a tantrum.
The two personal maids, Fili and Naza, beside her, couldn't coax her no matter what. They looked at each other, wondering why the young lady was throwing a tantrum on such a happy day.
I had always been looking forward to my birthday.
Just when the atmosphere was getting heated and lively, Lan Mou, the city lord's third brother, who was smiling and chatting with the guests, frowned.
He then used his mental power to scan every corner of the banquet venue, and finally, under some guidance, his eyes locked onto the crown of a large tree diagonally in front of him.
He took a few quick steps towards the tree and suddenly shouted, "Where are the guards? How dare you, the thief, sneak into my Lan family and do what? Are you tired of living?"
When everyone heard his loud shout, they stood up and left the big tree in the yard in shock. The female guests screamed in shock. The guards patrolling nearby rushed over and surrounded the big tree with knives.
Lan Li and Lan Meng also came over and looked at their third brother Lan Mou with confusion.
But Lan Mou nodded to the two of them, and then shook his head.
Just as the guard was about to approach the big tree, a black shadow fell from the tree and landed steadily on the open space in front of the tree.
When the guests saw that there was really someone in the tree, they all hid backwards, and the guards drew their swords and attacked as if they were facing a great enemy.
The three brothers of the Lan family also glared at him, obviously with anger rising in their hearts.
The black shadow stood up straight after landing. Although the man was wearing ordinary and slightly worn clothes, he was tall, with broad shoulders and a thin waist. His face was young and seemed to have just lost its childishness. His eyes were bright and sharp.
With a cynical smile on his face, he actually had the aura of a powerful man as he walked towards that station...
