Chapter 434 - 218: Full and Ready to Flip the Table!
This kind of talk made the entire Mu Mansion fall into silence.
"Bang!"
A guard from the Inspection Mansion slammed the table, angry and wanting to stand up, but before he could, Lin Qizhu beside him held him down.
The guard’s face flushed red as he looked at Lin Qizhu, who gently shook his head.
Even though Lin Qizhu didn’t know what Li Hengsheng was planning, since he had come today, Li Hengsheng wouldn’t suffer losses.
Just watch and see, if they act rashly now, it might ruin Li Hengsheng’s plan.
The people from the Inspection Mansion remained silent.
Ma Hengdao also sat down, and everyone else continued to look at Li Hengsheng. After the insults from Mu Zhan, what would Li Hengsheng’s reaction be?
But to their disappointment, Li Hengsheng acted as if he hadn’t heard anything, sitting there as calm as a mountain.
It was as if he hadn’t heard what Mu Zhan had just said.
Just as everyone was feeling a bit disappointed, Li Hengsheng suddenly slapped the table.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Following that slap on the table, the experts of the Mu Mansion all stood up, Mu San fixated his eyes on Li Hengsheng, and Mu Zhan’s sharp gaze also fell on him.
Li Hengsheng leisurely asked, "When do we eat?"
This question almost broke everyone’s defenses on the spot.
They had thought Li Hengsheng was about to explode, but instead, he was asking when dinner would start.
Even Mu San was at a loss for words.
At a table in the corner among the guests of Mu Mansion, two old men sat looking speechless at Li Hengsheng.
"I don’t know why His Majesty insists we protect this person. I thought he would be a hot-blooded youth, but today’s display is so disappointing," said the elder in yellow robes.
"His Majesty’s orders are not for you and me to speculate. Just obey them," the elder in blue roared coldly. "Besides, your expectations of this young man are too high. Though he is a disciple from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, he is only at the level of Postnatal Great Perfection, while Mu Zhan from Mu Mansion is at Innate Perfection."
"Mu Mansion is filled with experts. If the Inspection Mansion doesn’t keep a low profile now, what do you expect them to do?"
"When under another’s roof, one has to lower one’s head. Don’t you understand this principle?"
After being scolded, the elder in yellow also fell silent, seemingly feeling that the elder in blue made sense. After all, in such circumstances, if he were Li Hengsheng, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly either.
Would he be able to leave Mu Mansion alive otherwise?
"Enough, we can’t worry about that much. According to His Majesty’s orders, we just need to ensure Li Hengsheng stays alive," said the elder in yellow, shaking his head.
Mu San saw that no matter what he did, Li Hengsheng showed no signs of anger or humiliation, and he couldn’t find an excuse to act against Li Hengsheng. This made Mu San feel like he was punching into cotton, extremely unfulfilled.
He tried so hard to provoke Li Hengsheng, but Li Hengsheng wouldn’t take the bait.
What did Li Hengsheng actually want to do by coming here today?
"Could he really be here to seek peace with my Mu Mansion?" Mu San looked toward Mu Hongxue beside him.
"Seeking peace at this time?" Mu Hongxue said blandly, "After messing with my Mu Mansion’s businesses so much, now because the ancestor is out, he wants to make peace—isn’t that a bit wishful thinking? Does he think my Mu Mansion is so easy to talk to?"
"Just watch and see."
Mu Hongxue felt no concern at all.
Mu Zhan had come out of seclusion, so what did the Mu Mansion have to fear?
All they needed to do was watch and see. No matter what plan Li Hengsheng had today, he couldn’t stir any waves within Mu Mansion.
The Mu Mansion now had this confidence!
Before long, the feast in Mu Mansion began.
A variety of dishes were exquisitely prepared and expensive, even the wine was of excellent quality.
Ordered not to eat since the morning, the people from the Inspection Mansion could no longer resist upon seeing such a spread, and began devouring the food.
They were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
This behavior left the other guests at the same tables dumbfounded.
Were they reincarnated as hungry ghosts?
Why did they act like they hadn’t eaten before?
Those from the Mu Mansion, seeing the Inspection Mansion people eat in such a manner, all sneered disdainfully.
Li Hengsheng also didn’t hold back.
Tasting every dish.
"Um, Boss Zhou?" Li Hengsheng looked towards a middle-aged man sitting across from him, recognizing him as the owner of a silk shop in the city.
"Inspector Sir," Boss Zhou cupped his hands in greeting, "What can I do for you?"
"Pass me that chicken over there, I can’t reach it," Li Hengsheng pointed to the roasted chicken in front of Boss Zhou.
"Uh..."
Boss Zhou quickly brought the entire platter to Li Hengsheng.
Li Hengsheng grabbed a chicken leg and began tearing and eating it.
"The taste is alright,"
Li Hengsheng commented as he ate.
"Inspector Sir, I toast you," said Hua Qing, sitting next to Li Hengsheng, raising a glass of wine for a toast.
Li Hengsheng casually picked up his own glass, clinked it, and downed the drink without unnecessary words, continuing to eat.
This left Hua Qing awkwardly frozen in place.
The people at the main table frequently glanced over at Li Hengsheng’s side.
Watching the Inspection Mansion people binge eating and drinking left them more and more bewildered.
