A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1599

"I ask of the Hall Master of the War God Castle to receive the invitation."

His strong voice swept through the entire hall.

The Sword Saint didn't accept the invitation immediately. Instead, he looked over his shoulder to glance at Ye Qingtian.

Noticing Ye Qingtian's slight nod, the Sword Saint received the invitation from the elderly man.

"Please thank the Chu family fortheir kind invitation."

"Have you had dinner? If not, please join us if you don't mind," Sword Saint offered courteously.

The two elderly men didn't even linger a minute longer and left the instant they rejected the dinner offer.

Even though the security was tight on Mount Yan, it was nothingto the elderly men. They could come and go freely.

After they left, the tension dispersed within the War God Castle. They collectively released a breath of

relief.

Unknowingly, their foreheads had been sweating cold sweats.

"Dang!"

"What exactly is their background?"

"What a terrifying aura!"

"The Chu Sect definitely had more strong and powerful fighters than we thought."

"They were just delivery men fora wedding invitation, yet they were so powerful."

The crowd murmured, their heart racing from their earlierencounter.

Meanwhile, Sword Saint scrutinized the invitation.

"Chu Tianqi from the Chu family?

"Angie Jones from the Jones family?

"Aren't these two families part of the Chu Sect?

"They're having a marriage of convenience?"

Tang Hao was surprised at the bride's and groom's names on the invitation.

"I suppose the Jones family wants to strengthen its position within the Chu Sect with the help of the Chu family."

"I heard the Jones family are going downhill recently."

"Their status within the Chu Sect is getting worse by the day," Mo Gucheng added.

"But should we attend their wedding, Sword Saint?

"Could it be a trap?

"And that the wedding ceremony is merely a pretense.

"They could have invited us there to finish all of us off at Mount Chumen.

"Also, this wedding is too sudden.

"The wedding falls on twentieth May.

"That's in a few days.

"They're having it in such a hurry. Don't you guys think that's unusual?

"Furthermore, we just had a run-in with the head of the Chu Sect a few months ago. And we nearly killed her.

"Them inviting us to a wedding at this timing is quite suspicious."

Mo Gucheng connected the wedding with their previous run-in and suspected a malicious intent behind it.

"Hmm...

"You're right.

"I agree that the wedding is held too suddenly.

"We didn't even hear any rumor about it."

Sword Saint was suspicious and cautious about the ceremony too.

"Ye, how about you?

"What is your opinion on this?" Sword Saint asked Ye Qingtian.

The War God casually answered, "You can attend it." "What?

"Have you lost your mind, War God?

"Aren't you scared that it's a trap laid down by the Chu Sect? To trick us there and wipe out all of us?" Mo Gucheng retorted.

Ye Qingtian chuckled. "If the Chu Sect wanted to deal with us, they would have done so in Jiangdong three months ago.

"So, in my opinion, it is not a trap, just a typical wedding held in a rush.

"Besides, I heard some rumors lately that the Chu Sect was unstable.

"The elders were considering replacing the head of Chu Sect.

"The candidate to replace Tang Yun is most probably the current head of the Chu family, Chu Zhengliang.

"He's Chu Tianqi's father.

"I guess the Jones family send their daughter to marry the Chu family young master to gain Chu Zhengliang's support.

"Under such circumstances, it is all the more reason we should attend the wedding.

"After all, we have already offended Tang Yun.

"If we offend the head of the Chu family, we couldn't maintain the harmonious front between China and Chu Sect anymore," Ye Qingtian analyzed slowly.

Sword Saint nodded in agreement with his reasoning.

"Right, you're the wisest, Ye.

"The Chu Sect are powerful these days. China's martial arts can't be compared to them.

"We should at least maintain a friendly facade with them," Sword Saint agreed.

The rule of survival of the fittest applied to the martial arts world.

Despite China having numerous old grudges with Chu Sect, the latter had a wider reach. Even if Sword Saint and the rest had many complaints, they had no choice but to keep it to themselves. Under current circumstances, it wasn't wise to openly declare war against the Chu Sect.

At least, they had to maintain a friendly front.

Furthermore, the wedding was a marriage of convenience between the Chu and the Jones family. It was the Chu family affair and had no relations to Chu Sect.

Given the circumstances, there was no reason for the War God Castle to not attend.

Finally, after a discussion, they decided to send someone to attend the wedding on May twentieth.

They continued with the banquet after the decision was made.

Nevertheless, their peace was disrupted yet again.

An informant had crashed the banquet and informed Sword Saint urgently, "H-Hall Master, something happened in Jiangdong again."

What?

"Jiangdong again?"

Sword Saint and the rest straightened their backs and widened their eyes in shock.

Meanwhile, in Jiangdong, Yunzhou.

It was evening, and the rays from the sunset had colored the land red.

At the nearby Yunwu Lake, the colorful rays of the setting sun were reflected on the surface of the still water.

There were couples, families, and friends taking a walk by the lake. It was a picturesque scene of peace and tranquility.

However, no one noticed a figure had appeared outside the gates of the Li residence on such an ordinary evening.

That woman was clad in a red dress. Her hair was flowing in the wind.

When she lifted her head, there was no expression on her beautiful face. She merely stared indifferently at the magnificent manor. Subsequently, a cold, firm voice sounded through the entire Li residence.

"Is Yunzhou's Mr. Li Er here?"

At that time, Li Er had a woman in his arms and was about to start his wild nightlife.

He didn't expect his name to rumble across his entire manor when he removed his pants halfway.

Li Er's entire body shivered from the fright, and a dull sensation consumed him.

Even if the prettiest woman was lying on his bed right then, he wouldn't be interested.

"Mr. Li, w-what's wrong with you?"

The woman on the bed glanced at Li Er apprehensively, noticing his pale look.

Silence ensued.

A moment later, Li Er's cussing sounded from the room.

"Bastard, who is it?" he asked chillingly with a tone that was dripping with violence.

A few seconds later, the Li residence guards marched to the gates. It seemed they had received an order to

nab the culprit who disrupted Li Er's rest.

"Mr. Li, you must be struck by surprise."

"Don't worry. We have sent someone to go take a look."

"Soon, we'll bring that person here to apologize to you."

In the room, Li Er's rage was still burning. His face was contorted from the rage he felt.

The Jin Bao and Yin Bao brothers continuously comforted him at the sides.

Ye Fan was no longer in Yunzhou, so Li Er had deemed himself the king there.

The Li family would not let the culprit go so easily now that the latter had rudely caused a scene right in front of the Li residence.

Soon, footsteps sounded outside Li Er's room.

Jin Bao laughed. "It seems they have brought in the madman."

Jin Bao looked over his shoulder and yelled, "Throw him in. I want to see the insolent fool who dare make a scene in front of Mr. Li's residence."

A dozen figures were thrown into the room one after another. The room shook from the impact as they landed on the ground.
