“It’s still early. Maybe they’re still preparing.” Yang Xi was thinking in a positive direction.

“I hope so.” Qi Xi said, thinking deeply.

However, this hope arrived when night fell.

Shen Yanxiao and others were already prepared to have their dinner when they saw a man wearing a Twilight City

guard attire hurriedly rush over.

“City Lord Shen, my City Lord is inviting you to a banquet tonight.” The man handed over a gilt invitation to Shen

Yanxiao.

Shen Yanxiao raised an eyebrow and looked at the sky outside. The sky was already dark. She then looked at the

time written on the invitation. It was estimated that the banquet had already begun.

Nangong Mengmeng stretched her head and glanced at the invitation, and her face was immediately pulled down.

“The practice of the City Lord of Twilight City is really thoughtful. It takes only half an hour to get from the City

Lord Residence to here. You only sent the invitation when the time of the banquet had already arrived. I really don’t

know how you arrange things here in your city.” Nangong Mengmeng was already angry at the Twilight City for

treating Shen Yanxiao poorly, and now that she saw the invitation, the anger in the bottom of her heart immediately

sprang up.

First, the issue with the harshness of the accommodation, then now, they even deliberately delayed giving her the

invitation for the banquet. This clearly showed that they were trying to humiliate Shen Yanxiao.

The man’s face looked awkward as he said, “This… Please, I ask the young lady to understand. Haven’t I rushed to

deliver it? The City Lords of Magical Fantasy City, Geng Di and The Blizzard City, Long Fei arrived this afternoon,

and everyone in our Twilight City is arranging their accommodation, thus the invitation was delivered a bit late.”

Rushed to deliver it? Nangong Mengmeng squinted her eyes at the fresh-looking face of the man. She didn’t even

see any trace of redness nor sweat; he clearly came over here leisurely.

Nangong Mengmeng just wanted to speak again but she was stopped by Shen Yanxiao.

“We will go later.” Shen Yanxiao said with a dull expression.

“Yes.” The man who sent the invitation gave a respectful response and then swaggeringly left.

Looking at the man as he walked out, Nangong Mengmeng’s two eyes were spitting out flames; she could not wait

to charge forward and slap both sides of the man’s face.

“Master, why are you so good to talk to? He just spouted some random excuses, and you believed it? Look at how

slow and unhurried his appearance was, did it look like he’s doing things sincerely? Besides, didn’t the City Lord of

the Twilight City know that we live far from his residence. Is it reasonable to let the person who delivers the

invitation walk such a far distance? Even if they didn’t intentionally delay sending the invitation, shouldn’t they at

least come with a carriage to pick you up?” Although Nangong Mengmeng was simple, Twilight City was doing

things too obviously. Even she understood that they wanted Shen Yanxiao to come late, not to mention Shen

Yanxiao herself.

There was no trace of joy or anger on Shen Yanxiao’s face. She just looked at the five animals on the side and

asked, “What do you think?”

Qi Xia shook the white jade fan and supported his chin in a languid manner.

“People have already pulled the two City Lords of the Magical Fantasy City and Blizzard City to their side for…

reasons. What else can it mean?”

The person who sent the letter seemed to be very polite, but what he said was full of loopholes.

While it was reasonable for them to have people arrange the accommodation of the people of Magical Fantasy City

and Blizzard City after they arrived, it did not need to be the soldiers of the entire Twilight City. There were more

than enough people to send an invitation. Moreover, when Shen Yanxiao entered the city, there was only one

middle-aged person who had guided them. After saying a couple of sentences, he immediately threw them aside to

self-destruct. What exactly were the arrangement he was talking about?

“Obviously, that Duan Hen is intending to push you down with Geng Di and Long Fei. They even made it clear for

you to know that they don’t attach importance to you. After all, the relationship between the three City Lords is

different from you. Before, you and Geng Di had been in conflict, and the matter between you and Long Fei was not

known to others. It is estimated that they thought no one would stand on your side.”
