"Lord Chen Liu of the Great Desolation Holy Land has arrived!"
"General Mo of the Immortal Court's First Army has arrived with his family!"
The mansion had a hall specifically for hosting banquets.
It was brightly lit now, steadily filling with guests as servants wove through the crowd.
Wen Duo and Xiao Luo SIR had successfully slipped inside... or rather, no one had paid attention to them at all. There were simply too many guests coming and going.
"Quite a turnout for his daughter's birthday banquet." In a corner, Officer Lin surveyed their surroundings thoughtfully. "Looks like this Wei Jinfeng has a pretty extensive network?"
"Nothing special," Wen Duo said blandly. "Apart from some military personnel, most of the guests are from second- and third-rate holy lands... at best, this is Kunlun's middle-tier social circle."
Officer Lin, an exam grinder from the Lower Continent, admitted that he really did not understand the world of Kunlun's big shots.
"Have you managed to contact Teacher Xiao Nan?"
Xiao Luo SIR shook his head, looking rather helpless.
Wen Duo made a gesture for silence.
Xiao Luo SIR immediately perked up. A distinguished middle-aged man was descending the staircase, quickly drawing the attention of most of the guests.
"Wei Jinfeng?" Xiao Luo SIR asked instinctively.
"Yes." Wen Duo nodded. "When Si Gui and I went to Yu Shi Yao's room, we saw their family photograph... in the outer layer."
Xiao Luo SIR nodded silently.
He recalled Jing Ziru, who had been replaced, and the refined air he had carried from his very first appearance. The Wei Jinfeng before them looked different, but his bearing was quite similar... perhaps these replacements were not random.
"Welcome, everyone. Your presence honors my humble home."
Wei Jinfeng not only looked refined; his voice was rich and resonant too.
