The next day was Mo Cheng's birthday.
The whole Mo clan became lively. During the day, people came and went, and various arrangements were made. Big red lanterns were hung up, and the place was filled with a festive and lively atmosphere.
They knew it was a birthday party, but if someone didn't know what's happening, they would have thought it was someone getting married.
The banquet officially began in the evening.
The entire Mo Clan was brightly lit, and guests came in one after another, each bringing an expensive gift.
Bigwigs from all over the Northeast provinces also came.
"The City Lord of Yan City, has arrived!"
"Master Ye Cong, the head of the Ye family, is here!"
The arrival of distinguished guests one after another pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax step by step.
Especially the fact that the City Lord of Yan City, who was appointed by the Jia Ma imperial family, came in person to congratulate Mo Cheng surprised many people.
The Mo Clan even got in touch with the Jia Ma imperial family, and with the support of the Yunlan Sect behind them, it's no wonder they can dominate Yan City.
At the same time, some forces that did not have a good relationship with the Mo Clan also came.
Although they all secretly wanted the Mo Clan to fall as soon as possible, they still had to do pretend to be polite on the surface.
"Haha, thank you all for taking the time to attend my birthday party. I would like to express my deepest gratitude."
Looking at the distinguished guests in the hall, Mo Cheng, the main character of tonight's celebration, could not hide his joy on his face.
Looking at the entire Northeast Province, the Mo Clan is the only one that can gather so many important figures.
At this time, the person in charge of reporting outside the door suddenly raised his voice.
"Yunlan Young Sect Master, Miss Nalan Yanran has arrived!"
As the words fell, everyone immediately looked towards the door.
Nalan Yanran was seen walking towards them in a moon-white dress, and the crowd made way for her.
"Hahaha, niece Nalan, I didn't expect you to come in person today. Our Mo family is honored." The smile on Mo Cheng's face became more intense.
The leaders of many forces in the hall sighed when they saw that Nalan Yanran had come in person.
"I didn't expect that even the Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect would come!"
"No wonder Mo Cheng is so happy, he has a lot of face."
"I don't know how long the old man will brag about this this time."
Many people are envious, jealous and hateful.
Being valued so much by the Yunlan Sect, as long as they don't do anything wrong, the Mo Clan can basically continue to develop steadily in the Jia Ma Empire.
"You are too polite, Elder Mo Cheng. Yanran is just following the teacher's instructions." Nalan Yanran smiled faintly.
"Hahaha, niece Yanran, please take a seat quickly."
Mo Cheng personally invited Nalan Yanran to sit in the first seat of the VIP table.
That kind of flattering look made many people feel disgusted.
The banquet was lively, but it had nothing to do with Jiang Ping.
He followed Nalan Yanran and sat down in the VIP seat.
Seeing that Mo Cheng was still greeting other people, Jiang Ping had no choice but to eat peanuts silently and wait for the meal to start.
Finally, half an hour later, all the guests arrived.
The banquet officially began, and all kinds of delicacies from land and sea were served. Jiang Ping drooled at the sight of them, and without caring whether the people around him were eating or not, he started eating first. (Me in any kind of occasions where there's food…)
After a while, Mo Cheng stopped talking, suddenly stood up, slowly glanced at everyone, raised his glass, and said:
"Everyone, first of all, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my banquet. I would like to toast you all!"
After saying that, Mo Cheng drank it all and continued,
"In addition, I believe we have made it clear on your invitations that there is an important matter we would like to discuss with you at this banquet."
"It's like this. After careful consideration by our Mo Clan, we have decided to establish a Mo Alliance..."
"Of course, this is not a strict organization. We just provide a platform for everyone to work together and exchange information."
"And as long as you join the Mo Alliance, you can enjoy various privileges such as intelligence and assistance from our Mo Clan."
"So, what do you all think?"
Mo Cheng's words suddenly quieted the atmosphere in the hall.
Although he said it so politely, everyone could see the Mo Clan ambition.
Once they join this so-called Mo Alliance, it basically means they have been recruited by them.
But soon some leaders of various forces agreed to join one after another.
And then more and more.
Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, given the current situation, it was indeed not easy to openly turn against the Mohist School, so he could only agree to it for now.
Seeing this scene that suddenly developed to this unusual direction, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but frowned.
Is the Mo Clan planning to build its own power?
She tilted her head to glance at Jiang Ping, wanting to ask his opinion.
Who knew that the latter didn't care about the situation at all, he just kept eating, and he was the happiest person eating in the whole audience.
"Jiang Ping!"
Nalan Yanran kicked him under the table in frustration.
"What?"
While replying, Jiang Ping picked up a large piece of something that he didn't know what it was, but it looked delicious and stuffed it into his mouth.
He found that these things were much more delicious than the food in Yunlan Sect!
So, if he is not active in eating these delicious things, then there is something wrong with his thinking!
As for the so-called Mo Alliance, what does it have to do with him?
Jiang Ping only did one thing tonight: Eat! Eat! And f*cking eat!
Seeing him like this, Nalan Yanran knew that she could no longer rely on him and was speechless.
...
Finally, the Mo Alliance was successfully established, and the title of Alliance Master of the Mo Alliance naturally fell to Mo Cheng.
So much so that at the banquet, Mo Cheng's interest rose to a higher level.
But some people are destined to be in a bad mood, with all kinds of little thoughts in their hearts.
Until the end of the banquet, apart from Jiang Ping, few people really enjoyed the meal.
Nalan Yanran also felt that the Mo family's approach was a bit inappropriate, but Jiang Ping didn't give her any advice, so she could only wait until she returned to report to the sect.
After the banquet, their real mission will be carried out.
The next morning, Nalan Yanran and Jiang Ping said goodbye.
"Junior Sister Yanran, don't you want to stay for a few more days?" Mo Li warmly urged her to stay.
"No, the teacher has other things for us to do, so we won't stay any longer."
After Nalan Yanran refused, he and Jiang Ping left the Mo Clan, left Yan City, and headed towards the mountains that Yun Yun mentioned.
But what they didn't know was that as soon as they left, the Mo Clan people were already ready to follow.
The team leaders are Mo Cheng and Mo Li!
"They should be going to the ruins. This is a rare opportunity, so be sure to be careful." Mo Lan turned around and reminded them.
"Don't worry, with me here, they won't be able to escape." Mo Cheng was full of confidence.
"This is our chance to rise. Whether it's the treasures in the ruins or Nalan Yanran, we must take them!"
Mo Cheng waved his hand, and took Mo Li and a dozen elite disciples to follow behind Nalan Yanran and Jiang Ping...
