The sky in Magic City was just as enchanting as its name suggested; it could rain at a moment's notice or whip up a fierce wind as if it were free. Since morning, the weather had been a chaotic mix of wind and rain, and even after lunch, there was no sign of it letting up.
It seemed that the Bai Family's Old Ghost had caused quite a bit of trouble! Yan Kongyue stood by the window, gazing at the tumultuous weather, unable to suppress her thoughts.
What did she mean by that? Lin Xiao noticed that his little sister sometimes spoke in ways that seemed a bit off, yet her words always seemed to come true eventually.
The Centenary Birthday Banquet—this weather? If it weren't for the heavens wanting to take him away, he wouldn't believe it. It was obvious that someone was about to face a tribulation!
But then again, perhaps it was merely personal grievances at play!
"Sister, do you think the Birthday Banquet will go smoothly?" Lin Xiao furrowed his brow as he looked at the sky.
Whether the Birthday Banquet went smoothly or not wasn't important; what mattered was what he intended to do!
"Hey! Yan Kongyue, the car has arrived!"
"Oh, where's Grandpa?"
"Grandpa is next door, already prepared!"
"Did you bring everything I gave you?"
"Of course, I brought everything!"
"Third Brother, Fifth Brother, don't forget what I told you last night. Just protect Big Brother and Grandpa; don't worry about anything else."
"Got it!"
"Alright, you all get in the car first; I'll be there shortly!"
Once everyone had settled in, Yan Kongyue looked up at the sky and muttered, "Dad, your daughter is heading out; can you tone down the wind a bit?"
But in the next moment, a bolt of purple lightning streaked across the sky and struck a mountain in the distance.
"Oh dear, please tell me that wasn't aimed at the Bai Family!" Yan Kongyue stuck out her tongue, hoping it wouldn't come true—she still hadn't had enough fun yet.
With that thought, the young girl skipped out the door.
At Yu Bai Mountain, a long line of vehicles awaited entry into the mountain.
The Bai Family—how many people had they invited? Huo Jingyu craned his neck, looking around curiously.
I heard that the Guang Invitation has sent out over a hundred invitations, all to families of status and influence across the country.
Yeah, I guess they’re all bringing their families along!
Indeed, the Bai Family is part of the Xuanmen Family; who wouldn’t want to bask in their glory?
Lin Qian wasn’t interested in the conversation and rolled down the window, gazing at the sky. “The rain really stopped just in time! If it kept pouring, we might not even make it up the mountain.”
“Why’s that?”
“Because of flooding!”
“Good point!”
The Lin Family had been waiting below for nearly an hour before finally making their way up the mountain. Yan Kongyue was already feeling a bit unhappy.
As soon as they stepped through the mountain gate, Yan Kongyue’s eyes lit up. “Wow, this place is interesting!”
Does Yan Kongyue like this kind of courtyard? Lin Lie’s first thought was to build her a similar one in the capital.
“I can’t say I like it, but it certainly has its charm!”
Lin Lie then realized what Yan Kongyue meant: “So, does that mean there’s a show to watch?”
“Exactly! The Bai Family, hmph!” Yan Kongyue glanced up at the sky, her expression somewhat inscrutable.
The Bai Family had specifically set aside four courtyards to host their guests. The Lin Family held a high status domestically and was invited into the innermost courtyard’s reception hall.
Inside, several people were already chatting. Among them were two elderly gentlemen whom the Lin Family recognized: one was from the Qi Family in the capital, and the other was from the Fan Family in Magic City—both were part of the Nine Great Families.
“Oh, isn’t this Brother Lin from the Lin Family?”
“Wow, Old Fan! Long time no see!”
