Chapter 159 The banquet

Natasha took off her mask and casually threw it on the ground.

Then she walked towards the wine in the center of the hall. In these few days, Natasha seemed to have changed into a different person.

Her walking posture was not as n.o.ble as before, but more enchanting.

As she walked step by step towards the wine in the center of the hall, the mask which she had thrown onto the ground suddenly began to burn.

Thud!

Thud!

Natasha's high-heeled shoes, stepping on the marble floor, let out a crisp sound.

The crisp sound of her footsteps echoed throughout the dark and silent hall, making it seem incomparably strange.

The next day, evening.

After finis.h.i.+ng his training for the day, Linley headed towards the main hall of the Li Fire Sect.

He had promised Roderick that he would attend the banquet today.

Soon, Linley arrived at the main hall of the Li Fire Sect, where the banquet was held.

Standing outside, Linley stared at the large lamp that had been lit at the door, then at the grand and magnificent hall. In his heart, his impression of the Li Fire Sect had indeed increased by a few notches.

This was because Roderick had truly given him enough face.

Normally speaking, in the Li Fire Sect, banquets were divided into different levels. Only when something major happened would a large lamp be lit, and then, depending on the size of the event, a few lamps would be lit.

But today, Roderick had actually lit all the large lamps in the hall.

One had to know that the last time the Li Fire Sect had lit all the lights had been when Gandalf had defeated the experts of the other continents.

From this, one could tell just how much importance Roderick attached to Linley.

As Linley walked closer, he was able to see more and more clearly what was going on inside.

The golden light illuminated the entire main hall of the Li Fire Sect, and all the tables in the hall were filled with delicacies.

The lid of the mellow wine had been opened long ago. Even before entering the main hall, Linley could already smell a faint aroma of wine.

All of the higher-ups of the Li Fire Sect had already taken their seats, but none of them began to eat.

They were all waiting for Linley's arrival. Linley was getting closer and closer to the main hall of the Li Fire Sect.

Basically, most of the people had seen him. Even if they hadn't, they could hear Linley's footsteps.

At this moment, everyone stood up, as though they were welcoming a King. They all turned to look at Linley.

As for Linley, walking on the red carpet, he didn't seem to have any signs of stage fright at all. He walked straight into the main hall of the Li Fire Sect, as though he was supposed to be a King.

As Linley walked in, everyone's attention was focused on him.

At this moment, Roderick walked out from the center of the hall, then came to stand behind Linley. Like a housekeeper, he followed behind Linley.

Seeing this, everyone basically understood what Roderick was trying to say.

Originally, these higher-ups had thought that this was just an ordinary banquet, and that the purpose was for Linley to develop a good impression of the Li Fire Sect.

But when they saw Roderick lower himself and walk behind Linley, they all understood what Roderick meant.

What he meant was that in the future, the Li Fire Sect and Linley would be bound together, advancing and retreating together.

Although they were very unhappy that Roderick hadn't discussed this with them in advance, given the current situation, there was no way to oppose Roderick's ideas.

This was because they didn't know how Linley felt about this matter.

If Linley truly wanted the Li Fire Sect to follow him, then to Linley, the higher-ups like them would be dispensable.

Thus, in order to protect their status and their lives, they chose to remain silent.

Soon, Linley led Roderick to the main seat in the center of the main hall, then calmly sat down.

As Linley took his seat, everyone in the main hall finally sat down.

Next, the banquet began. After Roderick gave the order, all of the servants entered the main hall.

They were here to serve the higher-ups, so as to give them a better experience of the banquet.

To be honest, Linley didn't really like this sort of scene. In his mind, a banquet should be one where everyone ate and drank together, without any airs.

However, although Linley didn't like it, it wasn't to the point of being bored.

Soon, after three rounds of wine, the dishes were all over the place.

Linley felt that it was about time. Just as he was about to ask to leave, Roderick suddenly came forward and said to him, “There's another event today. Master Linley, please take a seat!”

Seeing how sincere Roderick was, Linley couldn't refuse. Thus, he prepared to sit for a while.

Seeing that he had retained Linley, Roderick instructed the disciples who were preparing to perform to enter the main hall.

But after waiting for a long time, they still didn't see the disciples who were preparing to perform enter.

Roderick looked at Linley, who was beginning to grow impatient from waiting. He immediately said in a loud voice, “Why aren't the performing disciples here yet?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a female voice rang out.

“It's useless. There's no need to shout. I've already released them.”

As the voice entered the main hall, Natasha's figure appeared at the entrance.

Seeing Natasha, Roderick was instantly shocked. He asked, “Natasha, why are you here? Also, what did you do to the performing disciples?”

“Nothing. I killed them all!”

Natasha stood at the entrance of the hall, stretched lazily and said in a charming voice.
