Chapter 5 Welcome Guests in All Corners of the Country

On the morning of the sixth day of May, when the sun emerged from the mountains and slowly rose, the whole world became bathed in the warmth of the sun.

This was the late spring and early summer day with bright sunshine and pleasant temperatures and was also a wonderful day to go out and have fun.

However, there should be a lot of people going out today, but there were not destined to be many people touring, because this was a special day.

The Beggar Gang Establishment Conference would be held today. Since long ago, the master invitations were issued widely, inviting friends from everywhere to participate and watch the ceremony.

This was an important event bound to go down in history, and naturally, a highly significant day.

Many of the people who resided in Luoya City had gotten up early. Some were local to Luoya City, but more were people from all corners of the country who had come to Luoya City earlier.

The whole Luoya City was crowded and lively, and the number of people was several times more than the temple fair of the Lantern Festival because there were too many outsiders.

On the streets, the crowd and vehicles came and passed, which were noisy and full of activity. Everyone's face was full of excitement as they were about to witness the birth of a great gang, and many of them were also able to participate in it personally.

The breakfast store in Luoya City opened a little earlier than usual today. The business was also bustling, so that the boss was sweating heavily during the busy time, at the same time, showing a smile of satisfaction.

Such kind of business could not be met several times in a lifetime!

People from all corners of the country were mostly bold and forthright, and many people ate while talking enthusiastically and spitefully.

The topic that people discussed obviously could not be separated from the establishment of the Beggar Gang.

"I have heard that the first leader of the Beggar Gang candidate has already been decided, who is the old beggar Feng Tianyu."

"If it were him, it should be a crowd-pleaser!"

"That's true. Who else has such kung fu and fame except for him!"

"I don't know how far his Flying Dragon Thirty-Six Sticks have reached now. It has been a long time since people saw him striking!"

"The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. Those who had been famous in all corners of the country decades ago are naturally more powerful now."

"Besides him, what other masters are there in the Beggar Gang?"

"That's a lot. From the inside information that I have got, the old Taoist priest Ouyang Bo, the Divine Doctor Ye Bufan, the White Clothed Booksir Zhuang Shujun, and many other hermits and deviants who treat life as merely playing games have all been involved in this!"

"That many masters? It's too powerful!"

The discussion inside the city was lively, as was the hurry outside the city.

At this time, on the Changting Ancient Road to the east of Luoya City, a number of people from all corners of the country were speeding towards Luoya City.

Changting Ancient Road, as the name implied, was a flat and straight ancient road bordered by sky-high trees on both sides. It was not far from an exquisite and elegant four-cornered pavilion, mahogany columns, glazed tile roof, with beautiful ladies leaning on all sides, which was ideal for passers-by to cool off and rest.

However, in such weather and such a season, many people were actually in a hurry and were not willing to stop to enjoy the scenery. Most of the pavilions were empty, and no one rested.

Only in a gazebo near the Luoya City, there were two people who seemed to be sitting leisurely face to face chatting. They were a boy and a girl, both sixteen or seventeen years old. They were also a perfect match for each other.

Two white horses were chained to the side of the pavilion. They were tall and graceful. One look could tell that they were extraordinary.

This scene made many hurriedly passing pedestrians who could not stop turning their heads to look at them.

These two talked as if no one had been there, and a silver-bell-like laugh of a young girl would have come out occasionally.

The girl in purple clothes suddenly stopped laughing, with a serious face asked, "The senior apprentice-brother, do you think an establishment conference of this Beggar Gang is worth such importance? Make us come all the way to attend!"

"Do you know how many beggars are there in the entire Yugu Continent? If all of them have joined, it will be enough to set up a kingdom of beggars separately. I don't know whose idea it is actually to set up such a gang. It's not a simple thing!" The white-clothed handsome man exclaimed.

"The former countries of beggars were also divided into gangs and factions, weren't they? How come they never made us pay attention to it?" The girl in purple clothes continued to ask.

"Because that was the division of the gang to establish a faction. They draw their own boundaries, like fighting with each other, and how could outsiders care about him? But this time is not the same, and they want to converge a small stream into a big river, so such a force is worthy of attention!" The handsome man in white said with concerns and worries.

"Do you think they can establish successfully? Are those small gangs before willing to bow down?" The girl in purple asked again.

"The process may have some twists and turns, but in the end, it will definitely be established. Feng Tianyu was already a top master famous in all corners of the country fifty years ago. The Flying Dragon Thirty-six Sticks were unbeatable in the whole Yugu Continent. He was also known as one of the four greatest masters of the young generation at that time, together with our old master Dongfang Yunfei of the Dongfang Family, the old senior Ximen Yixiao of the Xichu Kingdom, and the old senior Nangong Yao of the Nantang Kingdom." The handsome man in white replied with an expression full of longing.

As they were talking, a sudden burst of hearty laughter came from the distance, and a large black-faced man with a full beard said aloud,

"Hahahaha... I guess it's junior apprentice-brother Dongfang Shaohong and junior apprentice-sister Dongfang Lanzhu! You guys were so far away in Dongqin. How come you arrived earlier than us?"

The words had just ended. Three young persons rode three big red horses and ran over.

"Haha... It was because the road was far away, so we came earlier and rushed, and we got here before you! Senior apprentice-brother Ximen, all three of you buddies are here, so let's go together!" Dongfang Shaohong warmly welcomed up and said with a smile.

As it turned out, those who came were the three brothers of the Ximen family, Ximen Long, Ximen Hu and Ximen Bao, from the ancient martial arts family of Xichu.

The one who just talked was the youngest one, Ximen Bao, who appeared to be a straightforward man.

As it was almost noon, Dongfang Shaohong and Dongfang Lanzhu also stood up and got on their horses, following the three brothers of Ximen heading for Luoya City.

Maplewood Valley, Western Suburb of Luoya City.

The number of people who came to attend the Beggar Gang Establishment Conference far exceeded expected imagination.

The valley was against the back of the most central place and constructed with a three-storey high wooden building. Although it was a wooden pillar hut, the materials used were superb wood and a brand new thatch, which conversely provided a sense of grandeur and chic.

In the middle of the third level, there was a high platform that could overlook the whole view of the valley.

Everyone else was down there receiving the guests who came to congratulate them and the brothers who joined the gang.

Only the three most important persons of this conference, Mu Qianmei, Feng Tianyu and Ouyang Bo, were standing on this balcony, looking at the situation in the valley. They were both excited and gratified.

But Feng Tianyu had a hint of apprehension on his face.

"Girl, look at the situation below. How should we deal with it, in your opinion?" The old guy asked with some genuine worried.

"We don't need to worry about this, don't you notice? Although there are many people coming, aren't the eight elders below hosting them in a well-organized and orderly manner?" Mu Qianmei said with a mysterious smile.

"So you've already made the arrangements. Well, I don't have to worry about it!" The old guy was then relieved.

"I didn't arrange it. There is a military counsellor here. Do you still need to worry about these things?" Mu Qianmei smiled and looked at the old Taoist priest Ouyang Bo.

The old Taoist priest then stroked his pure white beard and said with a smile, "Oh... You little girl, nothing can be hidden from you! Do you really a little girl who is only thirteen years old?"

"I dare say you don't think of me as the gang leader! You didn't even tell me when things were arranged, and you made me worry for half a day here." The old guy grumbled with a smile.

"Oh... It's not a big deal, I just thought there would be more people coming today, so I made some simple arrangements in advance. Only the guests from the major sects, our hall directors and incense directors were welcomed into this new main grass hut we built. The smaller gang leaders and their entourage were invited into the side fifteen huts. Also, the three thousand gang members who had already been confirmed were in the front of the square, and those who might join the gang stood at the back so that the hierarchical arrangement would look more orderly." The old Taoist priest hurriedly explained with a smile.

"Hmm, with this arrangement, the site order looks much better!" The old guy said with satisfaction.

"Hehe... Old guy, I guess you'll have to go down to greet them personally. Look, the VIPs from the three ancient martial families have already walked into the square." Mu Qianmei said with a smile.

By saying that, it could be just seen that three beautiful as heaven girls walking in front, followed by four young men, three handsome, and one with a full beard.

"How do you know that they are from the three ancient martial arts families?" The old guy asked curiously.

"Oh. I guessed it!" Mu Qianmei put on a cute expression playfully replied.

"Then let's going down." The old guy said and was ready to turn around.

"You guys go. I like to stand on the top and watch. This is the matter of the adults, and I'm just a child, so I shouldn't be involved blindly in." Mu Qianmei said with a smile.

The old guy and the old Taoist priest thought there was some logic, did not force her, and then the two turned around and slowly left.

When Mu Qianmei stood alone on the balcony, the expression on her face was uncontrollably slightly complicated.

Such an event, I did not know how much I had experienced in my previous life. Every time I received an award, I opened a concert, I faced my fans on stage...

All of them were even more grand and lively than this one, and the fans were so enthusiastic and crazy, which made her repeatedly touching, repeatedly shed tears and repeatedly sang for them despite everything.

For a time, her consciousness was even a little confused, and she could not tell whether it was this life or a past life.

Mu Qianmei shook her head, came back to reality, and held her hands on the wooden railing. She was not tall and could only look down at the scene of the square through the gap in the railing.

As guests and the gang members were almost here, the noon hour was approaching, and the establishment ceremony of the gang was about to start.

It would be noon. Although the early summer sun was not quite hot, standing at the highest spot, Mu Qianmei was a bit emotional stirring.

Most of the people in the square were full of joyful expressions.

Mu Qianmei was the mastermind behind that.

So that was the feeling of being a screenwriter and director? It was great.

Let's hope everything went well!

Mu Qianmei prayed quietly in her heart.
