On the evening of the second day, the Dragon Gate Meeting of the Li Clan's Prince's Mansion was held as scheduled.

When Xu Han and his group arrived in front of the palace, the entrance to the palace was filled with people.

The arrival of Xu Han inevitably caused quite a stir. After all, Xu Han had killed Elder Huang, and Li Moding had given Xu Han an "expulsion order" in front of so many people. Everyone with brains could hear the smell of those words and understand what they meant.

Many people secretly guessed that Xu Han would avoid the Dragon Gate Gathering and choose to participate in the next round. After all, because there were many swordsmen in this world, there would definitely be several more in the Dragon Gate.

There was no need for Xu Han to make trouble for himself.

However, Xu Han's actions had once again refreshed everyone's cognition.

It was unknown what kind of mentality it was. After seeing Qing Xu Han and the others arrive, the long queue in front of the palace consciously made way for a passage. Regardless of whether this attitude was due to admiration for Xu Han's courage, or whether he just wanted to see the fun, Xu Han accepted it calmly and led everyone to the palace.

The person in charge of receiving the guests was the middle-aged commander that day. He was also a little surprised by Xu Han's arrival. However, he quickly changed his expression to one of icy coldness. He looked at the people behind Xu Han with a calm brow and said, "Only those who participated in the Dragon Gate Society can enter."

These words caused the expressions of Chu Chouli and Xue Ning, who were accompanying them, to change.

Perhaps there was such a rule. After all, there were indeed many people participating in the Dragon Gate Society. If everyone brought their followers or friends, then the Prince's Mansion would probably be in chaos. However, Chu Chouli still regarded this as a way to make things difficult for them.

The middle-aged man originally wanted to argue with the commander, but at that moment, he saw something from the corner of his eyes. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he whispered in Xu Han's ear, "Xiao Han, you guys go in. I'll bring Xue Ning to find you in a while."

Xu Han did not know what this fellow was planning, but he did not want to entangle himself with this commander. He simply nodded and entered the mansion with Yan Zhan and Ning Zhumang.

..

Xu Han and the others were seated at the eaves near the entrance of the palace hall. There were still many empty seats in the hall. If they didn't do this on purpose, they probably wouldn't have any other reason to do so.

Fortunately, Xu Han, Yan Zhan, and Ning Zhumang were both open-minded. They didn't care about this either. They were calm and even had the heart to talk and laugh at each other.

Xu Han took this opportunity to secretly observe the situation in the hall.

Li Moding 's mansion was naturally extraordinary. Regardless of whether it was the materials used for construction or the paint used for decoration, it could be said to be of the highest quality. The layout could also be seen that it was made by a master. Regardless of whether it was the paintings on the walls or the scenery in the courtyard, they all carried a sense of primitive simplicity and elegance. It was extremely exquisite.

At this moment, Li Moding , who was dressed in white mink fur, was sitting high on the main seat, holding his wine cup. He chuckled as he intertwined with the glasses of some great figures that Xu Han could not name. Beside him sat a man with lowered eyebrows and lowered his head. The monk in the red robe seemed to be an eminent monk from Long Yin Temple, while on the other side sat a man who was not even twenty-five or sixteen years old. That man had a sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, which were quite similar to his, and his every move revealed a noble aura. That noble aura was obviously not deliberately decorated, but more like something innate.

Xu Han quickly guessed that this person was Li Moding 's proudest son, Li Ding Xian.

However, when Xu Han looked at Li Dingxian, the little prince seemed to have sensed Xu Han's gaze. He turned around and smiled at Xu Han. He even reached out to pick up the wine cup in front of him and saluted Xu Han from afar.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, but he still raised his glass and responded to that person.

The group of people sat in the hall for about fifteen minutes. The seats in the hall were gradually filled and there were more people.

At this time, a hand patted Xu Han's shoulder.

"How about it, Xiao Han? Someone from Chu said that he could come in if he wanted to." At that moment, Chu Chouli's familiar voice sounded.

The three of them who were sitting together turned their heads when they heard this, only to see Chu Chouli leading Xue Ning into the palace as he had said.

It was probably because Xu Han had offended Li Moding earlier. Even at this moment, the position around them was still in the air. Chu Chou Li did not avoid sitting down with Xue Ning.

"How did you get in?" Seeing that he was also interested, Xu Han couldn't help but ask.

However, Chu Chouli did not conceal anything. After sitting down, he picked up the wine glass prepared on the table and drank all the sake in it. At the end, he did not forget to pout his lips and commented, "The wine in the Prince's Mansion is not necessarily better than the wine in the tavern."

At this moment, he remembered Xu Han's question and casually replied, "He walked in."

Finally, he grabbed the chicken in front of his desk and ate it in large mouthfuls, muttering to himself, "Mm, this chicken is not bad, it has Grandpa Chu's warmth."

Chu Chouli's eating style didn't have the slightest bit of beauty to speak of, and his chirping sounds seemed rather abrupt and ear-piercing in the Palace of His Highness, which had gathered all the influential figures of Jianghu from all walks of life.

Inevitably, his actions soon attracted the disgusted gazes of the people in the hall, but he still seemed to be unaware of it and ate happily on his own.

At this moment, Li Moding , who was sitting on the main seat, also noticed the existence of Xu Han and the others. This Prince Li frowned, but he didn't say anything else. After all, he couldn't drive Xu Han and the others away in front of everyone.

..

About a quarter of an hour later, the hall was almost full, leaving only a dozen or so seats very close to Li Moding , and no one had taken their seats.

"Why hasn't it started yet?"

"Isn't it already two hours?"

..

The hall couldn't help but start whispering. Obviously, it was a little strange that Li Moding still hadn't opened the Dragon Gate Gathering yet.

Even Xu Han couldn't help but frown.

"Don't worry, isn't the Crimson Firmament Sect still here?" Chu Chouli threw out a chicken bone and landed in the hall at that time.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was still heard by the people around him.

This caused the doubtful crowd to immediately understand. They had long heard that the Crimson Firmament Sect would participate in the Dragon Gate Gathering, but there was no sign of him at this moment. From the looks of it, this prince was waiting for the people from the Crimson Firmament Sect to delay the start of the Dragon Gate Gathering.

Everyone, look at me and look at you. Your complexion couldn't help but change. Although no one was dissatisfied, they were somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Ye Li's selfishness as the host of the Dragon Gate Society.

Li Moding also sensed this and his expression wasn't gloomy. He hated Xu Han and the others to the bone.

However, Chu Chouli's face was so thick that not only did he not care about Prince Li's resentful gaze, he even waved his chicken drumstick at him and said loudly, "Prince Li has cooked a good chicken!"
