Double Cultivation
fake invitation
"Wow! What a beautiful building!"
The junior disciples expressed their admiration in front of the Burning Lotus Sect Auction House covered with gold paint and other expensive decorations.
"OK, let's stop standing and go inside before all the seats are full." Liu Lanzhi clapped his hands to attract their attention.
However, just as they approached the entrance, one of the workers there stopped them from entering.
"I'm sorry, but which sect are you from?" he asked them.
"The Profound Flower Sect" Liu Lanzhi said. "Is there a problem?"
"The Profound Flower Sect?" The male worker looked at the list in his hand and shook his head a moment later. "Sorry, but I can't find the Profound Flower Sect on the guest list today. This year's auction is only open to those who are invited."
"What's? We weren't invited? How come? We even got an invitation letter!" said Liu Lanzhi.
"The list was seen and watched at least ten times by many people, there was no mistake with that." The worker shook his head.
"Moreover, the limit that every guest can carry at most is 5, while you bring at least 30 people with you, so it's impossible anyway" the worker said.
"Matriak, why are you wasting your time talking to her when you can show her your invitation letter?" Su Yang looked at Liu Lanzhi strangely.
"Oh, that's right." Liu Lanzhi did not immediately think about it and nodded.
He then picked up the invitation sent by Wang Shuren himself and showed it to the worker.
The worker there looked at the golden invitation with a strange expression.
"You think I'm stupid?" The male worker shook his head and threw away the invitation as if it was trash.
"Do you think that I won't be able to tell the difference between a genuine and a fake invitation? Not only did the invitation miss the signature of the Burning Lotus Sect, but none of the invitations sent looked like it!" said the worker.
"Can't be ... does anyone bullshit us?" Liu Lanzhi was stunned.
But he clearly remembered the Sect Elder mentioning that Wang Shuren had sent out an invitation himself! Why would he do this to them?
"Hey, what's going on here? Is there a problem?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man approached them.
"Senior, the people here are trying to sneak into the auction. They even dared to forge the invitation." The male worker said to the approaching Senior.
"Forging invitations? I want to see who's so brave!"
The middle-aged man who seemed to be the Sect Elder for the Burning Lotus Sect and looked at the Profound Blossom Sect with an unfriendly face.
"Explain your background!" he spoke in a domineering voice.
"We-we"
The moment Liu Lanzhi opened his mouth, Su Yang suddenly stepped forward and cut him off.
"Bring Wang Shuren here. I know he's inside." Su Yang spoke in a cold voice.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to Senior Wang in such a tone!" The middle-aged man immediately turned aggressive.
"What's going on in there?"
The other people there quickly noticed their situation. Some of them even approached them with the intention to support the Burning Lotus Sect, hoping to get some help later.
"I don't know which hole you're crawling from but get out! This is no place for kids!"
"If you're looking for a playground, there's ten minutes from here."
"Disregard these beggars, Senior of the Burning Lotus Sect. If they dare to cause trouble again, I will defeat them for you!"
"How dare you mock my brother! I'm gonna hit you now!" Su Yin suddenly stepped forward with an angry face.
"A disciple from the Heavenly Goose Sect!" The people there immediately recognized the pattern of his robe.
"So you won't let us in, no matter what?" Su Yang asked with a calm expression.
"Rubber!" The middle-aged man confirmed.
"Hmm .. that's problematic. I promised these children that I would let them see the auction today, so I had to fulfill it one way or another.." Su Yang spoke with narrowed eyes.
"Huh? Are you threatening me – Burning Lotus Sect ?!" The middle-aged man suddenly laughed out loud. "Have you heard that, my friends? The little boy here is threatening me! Ahaha!"
"I've already stepped on the Burning Lotus Sect once; it won't make any difference if I do it again .." Su Yang shook his head and prepared to take his sword.
However, another voice suddenly sounded.
"What's going on here ?! Why is there such a commotion ?! Do you want me to report this to Senior Wang ?!"
The voice belonged to a woman, quite young at the time.
A short while later, a beautiful young girl dressed in a core Disciple robe for the Burning Lotus Sect appeared before them.
Su Yang's eyes flickered with a mysterious light when he looked at this young woman.
"Murid Zhang! you came at the right time! These people from the Blossom Sect had caused quite a commotion here! They even tried to sneak in with fake invitations!" The middle-aged man spoke to this Disciple Zhang in a respectful tone even though he was a senior.
"Secta of Profound Flowers?" This disciple Zhang raised an eyebrow when he heard the name.
"Surge!" Zhang Xiu Ying shouted at them.
A while later, when Disciple Zhang saw Su Yang's handsome face, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Su Yang!" He suddenly threw his body at her and hugged her tightly, shocking the people there.
"Zhang Xiu Ying, it's been a long time." Su Yang smiled.
"What are you doing here, Su Yang? If I knew you'd come, I'd see you myself!" Zhang Xiu Ying wanted to kiss her there, but there were too many people around them, making such an action difficult.
"I should have asked you that question. Why are you here? Don't tell me that you were chosen to be a servant again," Su Yang chuckled.
"Although I am here as a servant, my position is now only under Senior Wang," he laughed.
"Oh? Well, that's a surprise. Since you have so much authority, you should be able to handle this matter easily, right?" said Su Yang.
Zhang Xiu Ying nodded. "Don't worry. Since I'm here, this will be resolved quickly."
