Li Yunjing sipped his wine without batting an eye, quietly committing the scene to memory.
"The City Lord is too courteous."
Xuanjizi stroked his beard and smiled. "To be able to serve Zixiao City is our honor."
"Exactly!"
Five Spirits Loose Cultivator chimed in, "If this formation succeeds, it will surely leave its name shining through the ages!"
Cups clinked back and forth through the banquet, the atmosphere lively and heated.
Li Yunjing noticed that Mr. Qingming kept proposing toasts to Grandmaster Red Flame, while at some point, two beautiful maidservants had also appeared beside Zhuang Rui, attentively urging him to drink.
"Grandmaster Li."
Xiao Yuntian suddenly walked to Li Yunjing's side and personally filled his cup. "These past three days, it was all thanks to the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams method you proposed that the Big Dipper formation eyes became so perfect."
Li Yunjing hurriedly rose. "City Lord, you praise me too much. This Li merely contributed what little strength he could."
"Ah, too modest."
Xiao Yuntian patted his shoulder and lowered his voice. "Three days from now, when we deduce the formation eyes of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, I hope Grandmaster Li will display his talents once more."
"I will certainly do my utmost!"
Alarm bells rang wildly in Li Yunjing's heart, but on his face, he looked flattered beyond measure.
"Everyone has worked hard these past three days. Tomorrow, you may move about the city freely."
As the banquet was about to disperse, Xiao Yuntian suddenly announced, "Zixiao City's Myriad Treasures Pavilion has already been opened to you all. Every treasure will be sold at a thirty-percent discount."
Everyone was overjoyed at the news and thanked him one after another.
Only Li Yunjing sneered inwardly.
