Chapter 919 Banquet

919 Banquet
When they arrived at Yihe Hall, they saw that the first floor was a restaurant. Although the tables on the first floor were full, there was no noise at all.
Everyone was expressionless, and there was no laughter as they ate.
The children were not naughty at all. They all sat down calmly and were eating like adults.
“It’s really strange inside. They look like puppets—”
Yuan Hehe trembled and could not help but say this.
However, before he could finish speaking, those people seemed to have heard him. They looked at him in unison and stared at him without blinking. It was very terrifying.
Yuan Hehe smiled awkwardly.
“You guys eat. Don’t mind me. I wasn’t talking about you guys.”
Although his reason was very lame, those people turned around and continued eating.
Jiang Ming and the others had been here for a while, but the manager and the waiters did not come out to welcome them.
Jiang Ming looked around and found that there were only guests on the stage. There was no host at all.
“This place is really strange. I think we should go upstairs and take a look.”
He walked forward and found a staircase made of wood.
They walked up a flight of stairs and found that there was still another flight of stairs. Then, they walked forward, turned around, and went up the stairs again.
Then, he found that there was another staircase. After continuing up, another staircase appeared.
“Why are we in an endless loop?”
Sikong Wuyuan paused, finding it hard to understand.
Jiang Ming did not say anything. Instead, he raised his hand and released some spiritual energy into the air.
The spiritual energy immediately broke the endless loop of nothingness, and they arrived on the second floor.
However, a fox stood in front of them. The corners of its mouth curled into a smile. “Congratulations on coming to the second floor. Where would you like to eat?”
“Isn’t this the actual banquet location? Why is there no movement at all?” Jiang Ming asked the fox.
The fox was shocked. “How do you know about the Moonlight Banquet? Besides, this Moonlight Banquet requires an invitation. Do you have an invitation?”
At the mention of the invitation, Jiang Ming looked at the child.
The child smiled awkwardly.
“I don’t have one.”
“Since you don’t have an invitation, please leave. Don’t stay here and disturb us. If you don’t want to participate in the Moonlight Banquet, you can go to the wing room and stay for a chat. The food here is very beautiful.”
The child winked at Jiang Ming and said to him in his heart, “You should agree to his request first. I’ll get the invitation letter later.
Jiang Ming agreed when he heard this. Then, he followed the fox and said, “Let’s go to the wing room for a meal. Please lead us there.”
The fox immediately smiled and went to a room. He called for a few people to sit down.
The furniture in the room was all golden and had eyeballs on them. They looked like they could move, and Jiang Ming was not used to it.
“Why does the furniture have eyeballs?” he could not help but ask.
The fox narrowed its eyes and raised its hand to cover those eyes.
“I’m sorry, sir. I forgot to remove these eyes just now. It’ll be fine now.”
Although the fox said so, Jiang Ming still saw the hidden eyes and found that the eyes began to move.
Sikong Wuyuan, Yuan Hehe, and the child did not see the eyes.
After the fox left, the child stood up and wanted to look for the invitation letter, but he was stopped by Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming said to them in his heart, “Don’t talk. Now is not the time to talk. Let’s talk in our hearts.”
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Yuan Hehe immediately became nervous. He looked around and found nothing unusual.
Sikong Wuyuan also asked Jiang Ming in his heart.
The child suddenly thought of something and said to everyone in his heart, “I remember that this furniture seems to be able to monitor people. No wonder the people on the first floor didn’t say anything at all. It turned out to be because of this. We had been here before. At that time, we suffered a beating because of this. Now, we will never forget it.”
He also told Jiang Ming and the others about his experience.
Jiang Ming could not help but be speechless.
“So, you can’t you make any noise while eating in this place? How ridiculous!”
“I think we might as well not attend this Moonlight Banquet,” Yuan Hehe said straightforwardly.
“It will take some time to get the invitation letter. By the time we get the invitation letter, the Moonlight Banquet might have already ended. Let’s not waste our time.”
The child insisted, “No, we have to attend stay here. We can familiarize ourselves with the process. When we go to the real Moonlight Banquet, we won’t be in a passive position. Li Nanchu is not someone to be trifled with.”
“Now that he’s sick, can he be a threat?”
Sikong Wuyuan felt that it was unlikely and raised his doubts.
The child instantly fell silent. He was indeed not very convincing, but he had a feeling that Li Nanchu was going to surprise them.
Jiang Ming agreed with the child’s decision and asked the child to pretend to skip the meal to get the invitation letter.
The child slipped down but was blocked by the fox.
The fox smiled faintly.
“I’m sorry, sir. Once you enter this place to eat, you can’t go out. You can only go out after you finish eating.”
The child pretended to be annoyed.
“Why is the food here so slow? We’re all in a hurry to eat. Can you hurry up?”
The fox’s expression changed immediately. “Sir, I’m afraid you don’t know the rules of this place. Do you want me to tell you?” it asked sinisterly.
As it spoke, nine tails appeared behind its body, and one of them attacked the child.
The child tried to slip away.
The fox followed him and said to Jiang Ming and the others, “I’m sorry, my lords. This child has broken the rules. According to the rules of the restaurant, he has to be punished. Please let me take him away.”
“No,” Jiang Ming refused directly. He put the child behind him and complained in his heart.
‘What was wrong with this place?’
“We only asked this child to skip the first course. Why can’t you guys let him skip the first course? Is this how you treat guests?”
“The food in this place is extremely delicious,” the fox said casually. “It doesn’t matter even if we lose a few customers like you. But the rules cannot be broken. If we let you break them, then many people will break them too.”
Then, without waiting for Jiang Ming to continue speaking, it raised its hand and waved the ribbon over.
The ribbon wrapped around the child’s body. Jiang Ming used his spiritual energy to cut the ribbon.
“I have to take this person away.”
