Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1424 - 622: Demon Dao_2

Wei Hong happened to know Ding Ye’s nature very well. He understood that Ding Ye, who feared neither heaven nor earth, was extremely filial, and the only person he held in his heart, the only one he wouldn’t talk back to or defy, was his father, who had suffered a stroke!

So, at the end of his persuasion, Wei Hong directly invoked Mr. Ding to checkmate Ding Ye!

As a result, regardless of how much Ding Ye didn’t believe or was displeased at that moment, he had no choice but to frown, remain silent, and simply snort heavily, ignoring Wei Hong.

Seeing Ding Ye stay silent, Wei Hong breathed a heavy sigh of relief and felt extremely pleased. In fact, Wei Hong’s heartfelt persistence was not out of any ulterior motives but rather to hope Ding Ye would agree! In his heart, he wished to seize this golden opportunity of befriending the Immortal and bring along a few of his closest brothers!

At this moment,

The crowd had descended to the second floor, standing at the entrance position.

About forty to fifty tables were set up on the second floor, each filled with influential figures from various county towns, all of whom were relatively familiar with each other, their convivial toasts making the entire floor bustling.

As Wei Hong, Ninth Young Master Huang, and Master He reached the entrance of the second floor, some sharp-eyed individuals quickly noticed them.

A man wearing a robe, plump and bloated, was the first to rise, shouting towards Wei Hong’s direction, "Hahaha, Captain Wei, you... you’ve finally arrived. Today, we... we must have a good meal, and after we’re done, you must arrange for us to go to the most famous Spring Willow Pavilion in Qingyuan City... so we can have a great time!"

The plump man spoke while panting heavily, evidently suffering from some illness, yet his demeanor was lewd and unruly!

Upon hearing the plump man’s words, the surroundings quieted down for a moment,

Everyone on the second floor drinking turned their heads to look, and seeing Wei Hong, recalling what the plump man had just said, many laughed aloud.

At this point, a short and thin man directed his attention towards Ninth Young Master Huang beside Wei Hong, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly ran to the side of Wei Hong and Ninth Young Master Huang, bowing repeatedly and saying, "I didn’t expect that Wei Hong’s birthday banquet today would actually draw the presence of Ninth Young Master Huang! Earlier, I was pondering which young master or miss from the Huang Family came by special car, had I known Ninth Young Master Huang was coming, Yu Xi would have surely come to greet personally, such a discourtesy! Yu Xi is anxious, truly extremely anxious!"

While speaking, the short and thin man bowed repeatedly, clearly showing tremendous reverence for Ninth Young Master Huang.

Ninth Young Master Huang responded with a slight shake of his head to the short and thin man, "I came here not for any business of the Huang Family but due to personal matters. Vice County Magistrate Yu need not be so tense; just remember to help me handle things well afterward!"

Seeing that Ninth Young Master Huang held no blame, the short and thin man couldn’t help but breathe a huge sigh of relief, only then hesitantly straightening his body.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of influential figures on the second floor, upon hearing this conversation, immediately ceased their actions, in the hall of the inn, no one dared to speak casually anymore.

After all, this was the second-in-command and Vice County Magistrate of Qingyuan City, renowned across several county towns within a radius of hundreds of miles, and yet such a Vice County Magistrate, upon meeting Ninth Young Master Huang, became nervous to such an extent... Among the many influential figures and wealthy and rural gentry present, even those unaware of Ninth Young Master Huang’s reputation could immediately deduce that this Ninth Young Master Huang from one of the four major families, Huang Family, was undoubtedly a person of astonishing position and authority!

For a moment, the hundreds of people present were silent, with no one stepping forward to greet them! Even the plump man who had earlier flamboyantly shouted towards Wei Hong and others turned pale, his forehead already sweating!

At this moment, Ninth Young Master Huang nodded towards Wei Hong beside him, Wei Hong immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands towards the crowd, and spoke, "Dear friends, there’s no need to be so tense. Ninth Young Master Huang is always affable, renowned as one of the Nine Gentlemen in the Capital City!

Furthermore, Ninth Young Master Huang came for two matters, one of which, like you, is to celebrate my birthday. Speaking of which, we are all friends, and there’s no need to be so restrained!"

Upon hearing Wei Hong’s words, the crowd secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Faced with such a powerful figure who could wipe out many small families with just a wave of their hand, of course, they were very tense! But since Wei Hong said so, it’s clear he had a good relationship with Ninth Young Master Huang, and as friends of Wei Hong, they naturally relaxed a bit! But even with relaxation, behaving like before, shouting and drinking rowdily, was absolutely impossible!

Moreover, facing such a great person, they didn’t even have the idea to approach and try to establish a relationship----the disparity in power and status between them was too great, just like elephants and ants. Even if they wanted to, they were very aware that given their power and assets, it was almost impossible for Ninth Young Master Huang to pay attention to them; in such a situation, forcibly building a relationship would be seeking trouble!

Seeing the crowd relax slightly, Wei Hong continued, "Ninth Young Master Huang came not only for my birthday party but also to assist Supreme Immortal Master He Zhenren in recruiting three thousand boys and girls! Since this is not official business, it’s inappropriate to directly mobilize everyone through public orders, so I’m just announcing this at my birthday party!

As for the requirements for boys and girls, it will be explained directly by Supreme Immortal Master He Zhenren. After hearing the conditions laid out by Master He, whom even Ninth Young Master Huang respects greatly, I hope everyone can lend a hand!"

Wei Hong said this, then cupped his hands towards Elder He beside him and very obediently stepped aside.

Lin Xuankong hearing this, cold intent in his eyes became more evident,

This Demon Dao appeared eager to harm more girls!

He glanced around and then quietly retreated towards the back staircase.

At this time, the audience’s attention was focused on Master He, who had silver-white hair and seemed to exude Immortal Qi; hardly anyone noticed Lin Xuankong quietly leaving the group surrounding Wei Hong.

And the so-called Supreme Immortal Master Elder He, evidently practicing Evil Merit techniques, flicked the duster in his hand, smiling serenely at the crowd, "Dear Good People, I express my respects!

I will set up a Taoist temple near the Fishing Pavilion in Qingyuan City, recruiting disciples, requiring three thousand boys and girls, with 500 boys needed, aged under sixteen but over twelve, girls needed over ten but under fifteen years, all must be physically strong, agile, and have decent appearance!

Unfortunately, since I recently arrived in this spiritually rich land of Qingyuan City, I’m unfamiliar with people and places; how could I find so many disciples? Out of necessity, I found Ninth Young Master Huang and Wei the Good, asking these two to help invite everyone, hoping you good people won’t mind me bothering you!"

Elder He spoke in a tone that sounded not only polite but also amiable, yet the content was just as Ding Ye felt earlier, entirely undisputable, as though already certain that those present would indeed have no opposition at all!

Such was indeed the case; after Elder He finished speaking, the crowd initially remained silent for a moment, then several breaths later, the short and thin Vice County Magistrate of Qingyuan County glanced at Ninth Young Master Huang, and sure enough cupped his hands towards Elder He and spoke resolutely, "What could Immortal Master He be saying, your matter is as important to us as it is our own, and even more important than our own. Since Immortal Master He has spoken, we will certainly spare no effort, and within ten days at most, we will find ten thousand boys and girls for Immortal Master He, from which you can select three thousand!"
