A Family Reunion of Righteous and Demonic Sects

The constables spread out and sat down. Constable Wei was not exaggerating when he said that there were indeed many people, and the tables were almost full.

The leader sat in the middle of the table, surrounded by constables. The atmosphere seemed quite harmonious, a true example of good and evil being one family.

Chi Xulong was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head. No matter how arrogant he was in the rumors, that was just the image he created for himself. When he did bad things, he would either pretend or cover his face. He would stay as far away from government officials as possible.

There's no hiding now, so we can only bury our heads in the sand and pretend to be ostriches.

"Officer Wei, I'm here." Lu Yang smiled and stood up to greet Officer Wei.

Chi Xulong stared wide-eyed at Lu Yang in disbelief. So you're the shop owner!

"You've already started eating," Officer Wei said, somewhat embarrassed.

"It's alright, what would you like to eat?"

Chief Constable Wei waved his hand. "With so many people, we won't order. Just bring out whatever's available."

"Okay." Lu Yang agreed, assuming that Constable Wei thought the same thing.

The constables, smelling the delicious aroma wafting from their leader's table, subconsciously swallowed hard.

It's mealtime now, and I was already hungry, but the aroma made me even hungrier.

Fortunately, Lu Yang was prepared. Before Constable Wei and the others arrived, he had the couriers go all out and grill some of the food first. Once the others arrived, the food was served directly.

Soon, Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu brought out plates of grilled skewers for Constable Wei and the others to have a bite to eat.

Although Constable Wei didn't say it aloud, he was still very grateful to Lu Yang. Otherwise, if he had waited for half a day smelling the aroma, he would have been complained about by his colleagues when he got back.

"Let me introduce you, this is our Chief Constable, Fang Qingyun!"

Fang Qingyun politely shook hands with Lu Yang. As a Golden Core cultivator, he could tell that Lu Yang was a cultivator.

Not only could one tell that Lu Yang was a cultivator, but one could also tell that everyone at the leader's table was a cultivator.

He didn't say anything. There were plenty of monks who ran shops; as long as they didn't break the law, what did it have to do with him?

Opening a barbecue skewer shop isn't illegal.

The table was taken, so be it. As the chief constable, he couldn't use his power to bully people; it would have a bad reputation if word got out.

After Lu Yang sat down with a smile, Chi Xulong cursed under his breath and complained to the leader, "You bastard, you had ulterior motives! Why didn't you tell me the constables were coming?!"

Lu Yang felt wronged. "Isn't this meant to help you build better relationships with the constables? You should be seizing this opportunity!"

Lu Yang pointed to the banner on the wall. "See that? This banner was given to me by Constable Wei."

He casually made up a story. "Before joining the organization, I made sure to find a base, build relationships, and get in touch with the government. That way, no matter what I do, the government won't suspect me. I can even eavesdrop when they come here to drink."

Chief Chu nodded. Lu Yang's words were reasonable and well-founded, in line with the leader's assessment.

The cult leader said that these three people's actions seemed foolish, but in fact they had a deeper meaning, and one cannot judge them by appearances alone.

The sheer audacity and ambition displayed by actively establishing connections with the government surpasses that of the vast majority of the sect!

"Come on, drink."

After eating a few skewers of grilled meat to fill their stomachs, Officer Wei and the others began to drink.

As more and more skewers of grilled meat were consumed, the constables became increasingly enthusiastic about drinking, going round and round, clinking glasses and creating a lively atmosphere.

In stark contrast to the lively atmosphere around them, the table in the very center, occupied by the leader, was drinking with extreme caution, as if afraid that someone might accidentally cause trouble if they drank too much.

Later on, he stopped drinking alcohol altogether and switched to drinking tea.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the leader's table was dull, Officer Wei felt guilty, thinking it might be due to his arrival, and went over with his wine glass.

"Come on, don't mind us. We're just ordinary people after our shifts. We come to a barbecue restaurant to eat and drink to our hearts' content!"

"Come on, let's have a drink!" Officer Wei said to Chi Xulong.

Chi Xulong carefully picked up the teacup, but Constable Wei, displeased, said sternly, "What's with the tea? Are you disrespecting me? Pour me some wine!"

Having no other choice, Chi Xulong had to grit his teeth, pour out the thirty-year-old spirit wine he had brought, and drink it all in one gulp.

Seeing that Constable Wei was drinking in circles, the other constables, who were clearly drunk, followed suit and drank with the leader at the table, having a great time.

No one invited Lu Yang and his two companions for drinks; it wouldn't do for the boss to get too drunk.

The potency of the thirty-year-old spirit wine was beyond the reach of those in the Foundation Establishment Realm; Chi Xulong and the others were all quite drunk.

Seeing that he had drunk enough, the leader made an excuse and left.

With the leader gone, people gradually became more unrestrained under the influence of alcohol. Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi put their arms around each other's shoulders and resolved to unite and carve out a place for themselves in the Immortal Sect.

"Chi Xulong, your biggest flaw is that you're too impatient and flamboyant. You should tone it down!" Shen Jinyi said, speaking up for Chi Xulong.

Chi Xulong was displeased. He was free-spirited by nature and didn't like being criticized. "Come on, I'm outspoken. Do you think I'd be a coward like you, afraid to take action myself and instead teaching a bunch of students to do my work?"

"She's acting all evasive, like a girl!"

Shen Jinyi was furious. "Chi Xulong, don't push your luck! I'm doing this for your own good, don't turn around and bite me!"

Chi Xulong was even angrier than Shen Jinyi: "Who are you calling a dog?!"

After saying that, he punched Shen Jinyi in the face.

Shen Jinyi was not about to suffer such a loss. If he swallowed his anger this time, Chi Xulong would definitely take advantage of him.

Shen Jinyi picked up his wine glass and splashed it. Although Chi Xulong had drunk too much, he was still quick-witted. He turned his head to dodge, and the wine splashed onto Bai Zifang's face, who was watching the commotion.

Bai Zifang was not easy to get along with either. He was determined to get revenge for the undeserved misfortune he suffered. He gave Shen Jinyi a taste of his own medicine, spilling wine all over him. And that wasn't all; he even smashed a plate in Shen Jinyi's face.

The three men got into a fight, and when others tried to stop them, they were accidentally injured, leaving them furious.

I was trying to save you from being humiliated, and not only did you not appreciate it, you even dared to hit me?

You've got some nerve!

The spirit wine was too strong, and everyone's brains were clouded. Regardless of whether they were among the constables, they all started fighting.

Splash--

Someone overturned the table, and things fell onto the table next to it.

The constables had never seen such arrogant people before; the cultivators were engaging in a brawl.

And this was only because the constables were there; if they hadn't been, who knows what kind of fight would have broken out.

When cultivators engage in group fights, they can easily kill bystanders if they're not careful. This is extremely malicious and must be punished!

Upon seeing this, Chief Constable Fang Qingyun released his aura, directly suppressing the members of the Demonic Cult.

"Take them away and let them sober up in jail!"

The congregation instantly snapped back to reality, realizing what had happened, and broke out in a cold sweat.

This time, too many people came at once, and the two ghostly servants were Man Gu took over personally. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou shuttled back and forth between the backyard and the main hall, and the skewered meat was being cooked at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lu Yang lifted the curtain and apologized, "Sorry everyone, all the skewers are finished... What's going on?"

Lu Yang saw the arrogant and domineering cult members sitting obediently in the hall, while the constables looked at them with cold smiles.

Officer Wei said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Lu, but your friends were fighting in a group. The Chief Constable dislikes cultivators doing this the most. It made too much noise, and everyone noticed. It wouldn't be right not to punish them."

Lu Yang: "..."

To be fair, Lu Yang did intend to play a trick by arranging the followers and constables at the same table, but he really didn't expect these people to be so audacious as to fight in front of the constables.

Meng Jingzhou pouted. "I told you, don't drink. Drinking never brings good things."

On the day of the welcome party, Chi Xulong and others were detained for ten days for engaging in a gang fight.

After learning of this, Chief Chu was stunned for a long time.
