Chapter 90, Separate Dinner Party
Tongtian General handed over the task of the farewell party to Bai Jin, who then immediately delegated it to Shi Ji. At Shi Ji’s command, Jie Sect Disciples sprang into action, hustling to procure the needed items, with those who had belongings offering them up and those without running errands and lending their strength.
Three days later, on the night of the full moon, atop Kunlun Peak, the three Sect Hierarchs sat in a circle under a tea tree.
Halfway down the mountain hung a colorful orb of light, illuminating the entire Kunlun Mountain Range in festive, vibrant hues.
At the foot of the mountain, Three Sects Disciples sat at separate tables, drinking and eating meat, calling out to friends in what seemed, at least on the surface, like a harmonious gathering.
At Bai Jin’s table sat Shi Ji, Gu Liang, Golden Light Immortal, and other close Disciple comrades. In the center of the table boiled a hot pot, with Gu Liang’s little face flushed red from eating, beaming with happiness.
A graceful figure with a bamboo basket approached the table, stood in front, and called out with a smile, "Brother Bai Jin~"
Bai Jin immediately stood up, laughing as he corrected himself, "Sister... oops, my mistake, it’s junior brother. Good evening, Junior Brother Ci Hang."
Ci Hang’s smile froze as a vein on his forehead throbbed. Damn that Bai Jin, how dare he insult me like this?
Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, Ci Hang managed a forced smile and said, "Brother, you’re still such a joker. I have offended you previously, please don’t take it to heart, Brother Bai Jin!"
"Junior brother, what are you talking about? Offend me? Wasn’t that just siblings of the same sect sparring? Us Three Sects Disciples have always been fond of each other," Bai Jin said with a look of bafflement.
