Five days later, Sacred Pill City.
"Have you heard? An enormous inn suddenly appeared in the city. It's opening today."
"That's right. That inn seemed to appear out of thin air."
"Your news is far too outdated. President Xuan Kongzi personally helped oversee its construction. We just don't know which faction it belongs to."
Several people were discussing the happenings in the city.
Another person shook his head.
"Stop guessing blindly. Why not go take a look?"
"Ying'er, have all five great families been notified?"
Standing before a mirror and straightening his clothes for the day, Xuan Kongzi asked the question.
"Teacher, they've all been notified. All five great families will be coming today."
Cao Ying stood to one side and answered respectfully.
Xuan Kongzi nodded. "They had better. Our Pill Tower cannot afford the slightest carelessness in this matter."
Cao Ying smiled knowingly. Naturally, she understood how important this was.
A Dou Di...
She had actually been fortunate enough to meet such an expert, yet she could not breathe a word of it.
"Xuan Kong, stop preening. You're nowhere near as handsome as Yao Chen. Hurry up and get going."
Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi had grown impatient waiting outside, so she came straight in to remind him.
After returning, Xuan Kongzi had already revealed some information to the two of them.
Initially, they had not believed it, but Xuan Kongzi would never joke about such a matter. For the Pill Tower's future, they had to take it seriously.
Besides, who knew what had gotten into the Soul Hall lately? It had been unusually well-behaved and had stopped harassing the Pill Tower's alchemists, taking quite a burden off their shoulders.
"Coming, coming. Still going on about Yao Chen all day? Who knows how long that fellow's been dead?"
