As the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the sky, the entire Cloud City was once again shrouded in darkness.
However, due to the crazy hunting of Ling Yun during this period, and the news that Demon Suppression Division reactivated Spirit Net, Cloud City's fear of Evil Spirit is not as strong as before.
There are lights and colorful decorations everywhere. Although the crowds are much less than during the day, it is obviously much stronger than before when there were almost no people visible at night.
Of course, this is limited to the main city area.
In those remote places, most people are still hiding at home, silently praying for the sunshine to come the next day.
Shi family.
As one of the top forces in the entire Cloud City, Evil Spirit is naturally not as fearful as ordinary forces.
At this moment, the house was full of people, and it seemed like a banquet was going on. The sounds of conversation and cheers were mixed together, making it look very lively.
There were some sturdy guards everywhere, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.
Judging from the auras emanating from them, it is clear that they are all Force Conduit and Tongyi level masters!
After all, today is the birthday of their Shi family master, so there is no room for sloppiness.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhang? Come on, please! My master has been waiting for a long time."
"General Tong, I didn't expect that you would come to pay homage to me despite your busy military duties. My master would be very happy to know that.
Please come in quickly, we may have a few more drinks tonight. "
"Tiger Gang Lord..."
At the front door of the Shi family, a man dressed as a butler was smiling and enthusiastically receiving the guests.
It's just that this enthusiasm is only for those with big influence. When facing some small influence with little fame, the attitude is much colder.
For example, the young man in front of me seems to want to sneak in.
He stretched out his hand to stop it, his tone was very impatient.
"Stop!"
"Which faction are you from? Why are you so ignorant of the rules?"
The young man looked to be in his early twenties, with a simple and honest appearance. He was the kind of person who could not be found among the crowd.
At this time, facing the butler's obstruction, he seemed a little at a loss.
The butler paid no attention to his embarrassment.
He just glanced at him lightly and had no impression of him. He was obviously not one of those powerful young masters.
But looking at his splendid clothes, he must be the son of a merchant who just wants to sneak in and see the world.
The housekeeper had obviously seen many situations like this, and he said with a cold face.
"Where's the invitation? Take it out and look at it!"
When the young man heard the words, he immediately understood. He reached out and fumbled in his arms, but he never took it out.
When the housekeeper saw his appearance, he knew what he was doing.
After sneering, he made a gesture of please.
"I'm sorry, young master."
"No one is allowed in without an invitation."
A trace of helplessness flashed across the young man's face, and he seemed to want to argue.
But the housekeeper didn't bother to pay attention. He just waved his hand and prepared to ask the guards to drive them away.
This scene also attracted the attention of many people, who gathered around to watch the excitement.
"Stop."
At this moment, a light female voice sounded.
Among the crowd, a woman with outstanding appearance wearing a long white dress slowly walked out.
The two petite maids following her looked at each other, a hint of helplessness flashed across their faces, and they hurriedly followed.
"It turns out to be Miss Meng, welcome."
"My young master was so happy all day when he heard that you would come!"
The butler, who had a cold face at first, immediately had a warm smile on his face.
The young man also turned to look at her, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Meng Wu was a little disgusted with the housekeeper's flattering attitude.
Especially the young master mentioned by the other party made her feel like vomiting for no reason.
If that bastard father hadn't forced him, she wouldn't have even wanted to come close!
No, if you just go in like this, that annoying guy will definitely come up to you again.
Thinking like this, Meng Wu turned to look at the boy next to him. After looking at his face, his big eyes turned slightly, and a touching smile suddenly appeared on his face.
In the stunned eyes of everyone, they saw her walking up to the young man and speaking in a "gentle" tone.
"You, I told you to wait for me for a while, but you didn't listen."
"I don't care. You have to coax them when you go home tonight."
(Girls should all be coquettish like this, right? I'm sure!)
This tone and attitude are like a little woman falling in love.
This operation not only dumbfounded everyone present, but even the young man himself looked at her in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
The housekeeper looked at Meng Wu, and then at the confused young man. As an old man, he naturally saw something fishy at a glance.
But no matter what the truth is, it is obvious that the incident cannot be allowed to develop like this.
At that moment, he also glared at the young man coldly, showing a hint of threat.
When Meng Wu saw this, he was also afraid that the young man would be scared away, so he directly reached out and grabbed his arm.
Then he turned to look at the housekeeper and said in a dissatisfied tone.
"Steward Shi, the look in your eyes just now, does it mean you don't welcome us?"
"In that case, let's just pretend we didn't come tonight."
As he spoke, he pulled the boy's arm and seemed to want to take the opportunity to leave directly.
However, what she didn't expect was that the boy's body didn't move at all, and he had no intention of leaving.
The housekeeper was also shocked. If he let her go, he would probably have to be skinned by the young master tonight.
At that moment, he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile, "Miss Meng, look at what you said, how dare I do this!"
"Since this... is your friend, let's go in together."
Faced with the butler's attitude, Meng Wu couldn't leave anymore.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's go!"
When her escape plan failed, she couldn't help but glare at the honest-faced boy, blaming this idiot!
This time the young man did not refuse and followed her into the Shi family.
After the two left, the butler's smile disappeared instantly.
He casually called over to a servant next to him, and after saying a few words in his ear, he looked gloomily in the direction the young man left.
At this time, inside the Shi family.
Meng Wu was bothering to deal with the young masters who came around him, while glaring at the young man angrily.
It's all this guy's fault. If he had cooperated just now, he would have escaped successfully!
And after all, he was the one who brought him in, so forget it if he's not grateful. Now he's just standing by and watching his embarrassment, not showing any help at all.
This made her feel a little angry.
At this moment, a feminine voice suddenly sounded.
"Menger, you are finally here!"
