“Thank you.”

Lin Zheyu said, following the servant’s guidance to his assigned position.

This unlucky fellow whose invitation he had taken came alone and probably didn’t know many people.

Lin Zheyu looked around, searching for Liang Song’s figure.

Soon, he spotted Liang Song in the important guest area.

“Mr. Liang seems to have a good relationship with the Ya Army?”

Lin Zheyu was a bit surprised.

The people seated near Liang Song were all of status or extremely close to the Ya Army.

At a glance, Lin Zheyu saw they were almost all at the Qi Blood Realm level.

The weakest was at the Peak of Refining Internal Realm and seemed to be a relative of the Ya Family.

Lin Zheyu blended into the crowd, slowly approaching Liang Song’s side.

He pretended to pass by Liang Song casually, then circled around and returned to his original seat.

“Hmm??”

Liang Song sat leisurely in his seat, waiting for the banquet to begin.

Then he inexplicably received a note.

The person’s actions were extremely covert, with a terrifying ability to conceal their presence, until the note was placed in his hand.

Only then did Liang Song realize that someone had silently approached him, breaking into a cold sweat.

With his vigilance, he could detect anyone approaching immediately.

But just now, that man silently closed in on him.

If this person harbored ill intentions, he wouldn’t even know how he’d die.

“What’s going on?”

Liang Song was filled with doubts, sweat breaking out on his body in shock.

He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the man who gave him the note, only to find the person smiling at him.

“Damn!”

Liang Song couldn’t help cursing internally.

He didn’t recognize the man at all, finding him very unfamiliar.

He couldn’t see through the man’s strength either, but being able to close in silently, with just that ability to hide his presence, was extremely intimidating.

“Who is he really?”

“Has my identity been exposed?”

“Why give me a note?”

Liang Song tightly grasped the note in his hand, frowning as his mind was filled with questions.

He couldn’t help but glance at Lin Zheyu again, who was still smiling at him, a somewhat sinister grin.

Liang Song took a deep breath.

He pretended as though nothing had happened, stood up, and headed towards the restroom.

Once inside, he ensured no one was secretly watching before he could relax completely.

Just now, someone had silently approached him without detection, eroding his sense of security.

‘The Ya Army wants to kill you, leave quickly.’

Opening the note, he was met with a puzzling message.

The handwriting seemed unfamiliar, deliberately written differently by Lin Zheyu. Liang Song examined it for a while, confirming it wasn’t a familiar script.

“The Ya Army wants to kill me?”

“Who exactly is that person? Do they know my identity?”

Liang Song’s doubts multiplied.

He had known the Ya Army for over twenty years, being the closest of friends.

But now, a stranger of formidable power suddenly appeared by his side, handing him a note.

Claiming the Ya Army wanted him dead?

This has got to be a joke!

“The Ya Army wants to kill me?”

Liang Song took a deep breath, frowning once again.

Eliminating other possibilities, then whatever remains, however unlikely, could still be true.

If the stranger truly knew his identity and held a grudge, there would be no need for such complexity.

Given the opponent’s astonishing ability to hide their presence, silently approaching for an assassination would have a high success rate.

No need to resort to this.

“Could it be an attempt to drive a wedge between me and the Ya Army?”

“But what’s the benefit in that?”

Liang Song couldn’t figure it out.

Thinking it over, he realized that the notion of the Ya Army wanting to kill him was the most probable among all the possibilities he could envision.

Liang Song: “…”

Liang Song fell silent.

The Ya Army wants to kill me?

Why?

He couldn’t understand.

They had been friends for over twenty years, and the Ya Army was known for being righteous. How could he do such a thing?

“Is it because of the Senluo Temple?”

“Could it be that the Senluo Temple is pressuring the Ya Family?” Liang Song pondered to himself.

This seemed to be the only plausible explanation.

He crumpled the note into a ball and tossed it into the toilet.

Liang Song’s face returned to its calm and indifferent expression as he went back to his original seat.

He turned his head to look at Lin Zheyu.

Lin Zheyu smiled and nodded at him.

“Will Master believe it?” Lin Zheyu was a bit uncertain.

However, he had already provided the hint, and even if he didn’t believe it, Mr. Liang would be on alert.

If the Ya Army indeed intended harm, Mr. Liang would be able to notice in advance and create a chance for survival.

Soon, the banquet began.

“Haha, Liang Song, I knew you’d come to the banquet!”

The Ya Army approached Liang Song, laughing softly.

Beside him stood a stranger, scrutinizing Liang Song with an inexplicable gaze.

Ordinarily, this wouldn’t matter.

But after seeing the note’s hint, Liang Song became a bit wary, feeling the man next to the Ya Army looked somewhat familiar.

The look directed at him carried a hint of ill intent.

“Old Yan’s face, how could I not give it?” Liang Song said with a smile.

Though he was in disguise, the current disguise had been seen by the Ya Army several times, recognized at first glance.

“Don’t rush off after the banquet, stay for a few drinks with us.”

“We haven’t seen each other for years, last time I wanted to have drinks with you, but you didn’t give me a chance. You can’t find excuses to refuse this time!”

The Ya Army laughed warmly, showing no signs of any ill intentions.

“It’s really unfortunate, I actually have something to attend to later and can’t stay. Next time I’ll definitely find a chance to invite you to make amends.”

Liang Song showed an expression of helplessness.

If not for Lin Zheyu’s note, he likely would have agreed without hesitation.

But now, with caution in his heart, he felt there was something off and refused without a second thought.
