The third day of the banquet dawned, marking the conclusion of the grand celebration.
The festivities continued with the same vigor, the air buzzing with laughter and chatter as guests savored their final moments of revelry.
Wang Li engaged in a whirlwind of diplomatic interactions.
Elders from the Jade Lotus Palace, Azure Peak Sect, and even the distant Emerald Sea Palace found themselves drawn into his orbit.
He managed to forge a cordial relationship with Sect Leader Deng of the Azure Peak Sect, his booming laughter echoing through the hall.
Palace Mistress Gao Ming of the Emerald Sea Palace, known for her stoic demeanor, was charmed by his witty anecdotes.
Meanwhile, within a secluded chamber, a different storm was brewing. Palace Mistress Jiu Lan, her usually serene face contorted in fury, was heading towards the chamber of her dear disciple Liu Xue.
