Qin Shaofeng swept his gaze around, only to feel even more puzzled.
According to what he had learned before, weren't there supposed to be three more factions that did not belong to the sect power rankings?
Hundred Flowers Pavilion? Divine Weapon Pavilion? The Nangong Family, the God of Wealth?
Where were the people from those three factions now?
His gaze swept across the ten tables of guests again, and only then did he form a guess. Could it be that all three factions were hidden among these ten tables?
But...
Weren't those three all merchants who ran businesses from storefronts?
How had they concealed themselves so deeply?
It seemed the waters of the Land of Shining Stars were far deeper than he had imagined!
As he pondered inwardly,
they followed the maid to a table positioned somewhat farther toward the front and settled in.
"Honored guests, since you arrived early, our steward has arranged table number three for you." The maid spread her hand and pointed at the fan-shaped number plaque on the table.
The number on the plaque was a large "3."
"Mm."
Qin Shaofeng answered casually and calmly took his seat.
The maid promptly withdrew.
Yet only a moment later, she returned carrying a pot of tea and three purple clay cups.
Three?
Seeing that number, Qin Shaofeng was puzzled again.
Could it be that Ran Zun's presence had been seen through?
Or was it because every table had three seats?
He swept his gaze over everyone present once more.
Yan Xie of the Four Symbols Sect was a Sixth Grade Saint Star Position expert. Though that was not particularly high, it still far surpassed Ran Zun's cultivation.
Lu Zijian of the Tianlan Sect and the Old Ancestor Ying Yue of the Xuan Yin Sect clearly possessed cultivation
