1561 Confirming the Person Behind the Beast Attracting Grass

Alright, this might be a show of affection that Array Master Mu deliberately showed off. Ordinary cultivators like them couldn’t understand it.

However, what they didn’t know was that while they were cursing in their minds, the golden pagoda had already confirmed its target.

“Master, it’s this second prince. There’s no mistake!” The golden pagoda jumped up and down excitedly in the space, looking like it was the best.

After confirming that Duanmu Ge deliberately used the Beast Attracting Grass to lure the spiritual beasts from other territories to the Firerock Forest, Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan didn’t do anything either.

After all, they had only confirmed that Duanmu Ge was behind the incident with the Beast Attracting Grass, but they didn’t know his purpose.

It wouldn’t be good if they alerted the enemy.

“I’m really sorry. Array Master Mu’s toast to me really surprised me so much that I lost my manners. Please don’t blame me, Array Master Mu.” Duanmu Ge, who reacted, quickly got up with a glass of wine and apologized to Mu Tianyan.

Then, he finished the wine in his glass in one gulp.

After finishing the glass, Duanmu Ge poured himself another glass of wine and raised his glass at Mu Tianyan.

“I should be the one toasting Array Master Mu and Alchemist Lu. If it weren’t for Array Master Mu and Alchemist Lu’s help, Zhuang Prefectural City wouldn’t have been safe and sound under the ferocious beast tide. It’s indeed our fortune to have two peerless geniuses like you in Delin Country. I, Duanmu Ge, also admire the two of you very much. So, I should toast the two of you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Duanmu Ge finished the wine in his glass again.

Duanmu Ge felt that Mu Tianyan was completely expressing goodwill to him just then.

Whether Mu Tianyan thought that he had ulterior motives or saw something in him, it was beneficial to him without any harm.

Thinking of this, the smile on Duanmu Ge’s face became even more honest.

However, Duanmu Chun, who was originally a bit less vigilant against him, became vigilant again because of Mu Tianyan’s sudden move.

Even though Duanmu Ge was simple and honest, he was an expert at livening up the atmosphere. Under his liveliness, this banquet was finally not as depressing.

It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but the banquet that should have ended in two hours was dragged to four hours.

Lu Zijia and the others came this time to find out the main purpose of Duanmu Chun setting up this dangerous invitation, so they never mentioned leaving.

It wasn’t until the dead of night that Duanmu Chun said, “It’s already late. It’s too dangerous for Mrs. Mo and Miss Mo to return to the mansion alone. Why don’t you stay at the relay station for the night?”

Liang Wenli and her daughter quickly agreed and thanked Duanmu Chun for his kindness.

Before Cheng Zhong bade farewell sensibly, he heard Duanmu Chun say again, “It’s rare for Patriarch Liang to reunite with Mrs. Mo. Why don’t you stay with us too? It’s just nice too, we can still discuss going to the Imperial City tomorrow. What do you think, Patriarch Liang and Fourth Brother?”

“Right, right, right, this can also save a lot of time. Father’s health is getting worse day by day. Perhaps at any time…” Duanmu Ge didn’t continue, but everyone present already understood.

“So, let’s discuss as soon as possible when we’ll return to the Imperial City. Father will definitely be very happy to see Fourth Brother.”

Duanmu Ge’s casual words made Duanmu Chun’s face darken slightly.

Their father would be very happy to see Duanmu Heng, this bastard. Then, would he be unhappy to see him?
