Chapter 68 The Show Begins

Tantai Ying's method is not complicated at all, it is just to create artificial coincidences.

This kind of plan does not consume effort, but mainly consumes manpower, but Juesheng Church really does not lack manpower in this regard.

It happened that it was Lin Bufan's birthday soon, so Tantai Ying took advantage of the situation and set up a trap.

Tantai Ying first encouraged Miss Gong to take care of it for Lin Bufan. After all, Lin Bufan was the youngest deputy hall master and was trained by Xidaomen as a first-level reserve talent for the future master. When the Taoist palace presided over by Huangfuji was completed, After that, he has to enter the Taoist Palace to study full-time for one year as a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.

Tantai Ying kept hinting to Miss Gong that such outstanding talents must be properly grasped and not allowed to be hooked up with other women. Miss Gong is good at everything, but she is a bit vain. Although she herself cannot compare with Tantai Ying, in terms of men, she is obviously better than Tantai Ying who is still alone, so she adopted Tantai Ying's suggestion and decided to This is an opportunity to show off your husband and show off the love between husband and wife.

Miss Gong asked Tantai Ying to help her invite a few more guests. Tantai Ying agreed and would definitely invite Master Qi from the Taoist sect. Huangfu Ji is coming too.

Miss Gong is naturally satisfied.

Speaking of which, Tantai Ying is also a loser. She and Miss Gong are probably superficial sisters, a bit like Zhang Yuelu and Zhang Yuyue. They are not merciless at all when they try to trick the sisters. But looking at it from another angle, Tantai Ying is also saving the eldest lady in the palace, so that she can recognize Lin Bufan's true face early.

This kind of thing is a matter of opinion.

The center of Xidaomen is Danxiu Mountain, and most of the family members of Xidaomen Taoist priests live in Xinxijing.

It can be seen from the name that this city is of great significance to Xidaomen. After all, before Xidaomen left the Central Plains, Xijing Prefecture was its base camp, just as Shangqing Prefecture was its base camp for South Daomen and Chaoyang Prefecture was its base camp for Beidaomen. Xidaomen built this new Xijing in the Southern Continent, imitating the Xijing of that year, and used it as the base camp of Xidaomen in the Southern Continent.

Although Xinxijing is not a purely Taoist city like Yujing, Taoist priests still occupy an absolutely dominant position.

The Gong family, Tantai family, and Huangfu family are all in Xinxijing. Miss Gong and Lin Bufan's homes are here, as are Huangfu Ji's and Tantai Ying's homes.

Because of this, after Hu En Ahan lost Xidaomen's trust because of Hu En Chawen's incident, he was transferred to the new Xijing Military Affairs General Officer, which is equivalent to putting Hu En Ahan under Xidaomen's nose. This place must be It was Xidaomen who had the final say. Not only was Huen Ahan unable to ride the waves, he was also unable to speak. It was as if he had been left alone.

This is the same as in Guozhou City. The county magistrate is Bailihou. The so-called county magistrate who has broken his family has quite a lot of power. But if the county magistrate and the governor and prefect are in the same city, it will be very uncomfortable. They will be restrained everywhere and completely lose the prestige of their parents. Therefore, there is a saying in the official circles: If you are unlucky for three lives, the county magistrate will be attached to Guo; if you do evil for three lives, you will be attached to the city of Guo.

Because of this, those temples were forced to move to the mountains outside the city. This was all due to the special status of New Xijing.

So in a sense, the Southern Continent, like the Central Plains, is two centers. The two centers in the Central Plains are Yujing and Imperial Capital, and the two centers in the Southern Continent are Xinxijing and Xinpaititi.

On Lin Bufan's birthday, Qi Xuansu also came to New Xijing, accompanied only by Zhang Wuyue. Lu Yujue and Shen Yubing were busy rebuilding the Northern Continent's intelligence system and had no time to attend.

The reason why he brought Zhang Wuyue with him was that Qi Xuansu planned to take this opportunity to make Zhang Wuyue familiar. After all, most of the people who could come to the birthday party were well-known figures within Xidaomen.

Tantai Ying had already come to Xinxijing to strategize. After meeting Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu asked: "How is the arrangement of the show going?"

Tantai Ying said: "Everything is according to plan."

This made Zhang Wuyue feel a little confused, but he wisely did not ask further.

Qi Xuansu said: "Very good, let's go to the banquet."

The banquet venue was chosen to be Miss Gong's private manor, which was not within the city but outside the city.

Taking Tantai Ying's carriage to the manor, we could see that the roads outside the manor were lined with carriages of all kinds.

Tantai Ying was naturally an honored guest. As soon as she got off the carriage, she was greeted by a palace steward. However, the steward did not know Qi Xuansu and Zhang Wuyue, so he hesitated.

Tantai Yun said: "These two are Chief Qi of the Taoist Sect and Young Master Zhang of the Shangqing Mansion."

The steward of the palace family hurriedly said: "It turns out that it's Master Qi and Mr. Zhang. They missed the reception from afar. Please forgive me."

He didn't recognize Qi Xuansu, but he knew Qi Xuansu's name. Shangqing Zhang was a time-honored name in the Taoist sect, and everyone knew about it.

With that said, the steward led the three distinguished guests towards the manor.

Master Gong Da will naturally not attend the birthday banquet of his juniors. Most of the attendees are young people. According to the division of the Taoist sect, the majority are eighth-generation disciples, and some of the closer seventh-generation disciples will also be present.

Huangfu Ji did not come, and only asked his wife to attend on his behalf. He still couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters and wanted to focus on more important things.

Among today's guests, Qi Xuansu has the highest status. However, not many people recognize Qi Xuansu. Although Qi Xuansu has a great reputation, not many people have actually come into contact with Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu had no intention of being in the limelight. He just stood in the corner, occasionally said hello to acquaintances, and introduced Zhang Wuyue.

Not long after, today's protagonists appeared, none other than Miss Gong and Lin Bufan.

Both of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes. They first addressed the guests and welcomed them.

Qi Xuansu did not stand with Tan Taiying, but looked at Tan Taiying from a distance. Tan Taiying's eyes met Qi Xuansu's and she nodded slightly.

Qi Xuansu retracted his gaze and waited for the show.

Not long after, a steward of the Gong family came to Miss Gong with a panicked face and whispered something. Miss Gong's face changed drastically and she said angrily: "Nonsense."

The steward said with a sad face: "That group of people wanted to force their way in, and we really couldn't stop them."

Before he finished speaking, a group of people came in with a woman. The woman's face was a little pale, and she was obviously a little at a loss for the scene in front of her.

With so many dignitaries, anyone would be a little panicked.

When the woman saw Lin Bufan, it was as if a drowning person saw a life-saving straw.

Lin Bufan's face became a little stiff.

This group of people was arranged in advance by Tan Taiying. Juesheng Hall is a first-class powerful hall, and it is particularly strong when dealing with people. As the chief deputy hall master of Juesheng Hall, Tan Taiying is in power in various senses when the hall master Huangfu Ji is temporarily not in charge of things. It is not difficult to do this.

Needless to say, the security of the manor today is also the responsibility of Juesheng Hall. This was proposed by Tan Taiying, and Miss Gong did not think much about it and agreed directly.

As for the identity of the woman, there are two levels. The first level is a famous prostitute, and the second level is Lin Bufan’s lover.

Miss Gong vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and she didn’t know that it was a surprise prepared for her by her "good sister", so she asked loudly: "Who are you?"

The woman was intimidated by Miss Gong’s aura and did not dare to speak, but her eyes kept looking at Lin Bufan.

Miss Gong also looked at Lin Bufan with the woman's eyes, and asked suspiciously: "Do you know this woman?"

Lin Bufan certainly didn't dare to admit it, and denied it: "No."

Although Miss Gong didn't completely believe it, she didn't want to make a fool of herself in public, so she had to suppress her doubts and ordered: "Drive these people out."

The woman looked at Lin Bufan pitifully, but still said nothing.

Of course, Tan Taiying's methods were not limited to this. At this time, another Gong family steward strode in: "Oh no, another group of people are going to break in."

No need to ask, everything was under Tan Taiying's control. The second group she arranged also broke in with the second woman. This woman was also Lin Bufan's lover, a good woman, and she was also not very clear about the inside story.

These groups found Lin Bufan's lover, and then pretended to be sent by Lin Bufan to invite these women to attend Lin Bufan's birthday party.

After all, only high-level personnel can use remote communication means, and ordinary people do not have such treatment. These women cannot verify the authenticity, so they naturally believe it.

So there is this scene today.

After the second woman came in, she also saw Lin Bufan at a glance, and there was no one else in her eyes. She even cried excitedly. Although she didn't say anything, everything was self-evident.

The people who came to the banquet were not blind, let alone fools. Seeing such a scene, they were naturally in an uproar.

Miss Gong was also not a fool. Her face turned red and her face was redder than her ears.

I wanted to show my face today, but I ended up showing my butt.

What a shame!

Zhang Wuyue finally realized it when he saw this. He understood what the previous conversation between Master Tan Tai and his brother-in-law meant. This was all designed.

Looking at his brother-in-law again at this time, he was sitting on a chair with a surprised face, no different from those ordinary guests. Who would have thought that he planned everything?

Thinking of this, Zhang Wuyue actually felt a little chill, and his fear of this brother-in-law increased a little. He dared not imagine how his brother-in-law would deal with him if he angered him. He might not even know how he died.

According to Tan Taiying's plan, Miss Gong would lose her mind in a short period of time and become furious. The current temperature was far from enough. Although Miss Gong was angry, she had not lost her mind. At least her face was red, not her eyes.

Tan Taiying said silently: Sister, I'm sorry.

The third group of people came on stage.

The woman who came on stage this time was Lin Bufan's female subordinate. As a member of the West Dao Sect, this female subordinate certainly knew the importance of the matter and what Miss Gong meant. She didn't believe that Lin Bufan would let her come to provoke Miss Gong. She didn't dare to force Miss Gong to abdicate. Wouldn't that mean she was too old?

But it didn't matter what she thought.

Miss Gong was not easy to provoke, but was Miss Tan Tai easy to provoke?

Since soft tactics didn't work, then use hard tactics. You have to come if you want to, and you have to come if you don't want to.
