207 Birthday gif (1/2)
As Bai Long looked towards Lifen with a look as if asking if this birthday party thing was really happening, Lifen herself shrugged and said, ”When people are so high up the social ladder, they never lose a single opportunity to show off.”
”Especially with all of the 16 top forces gathered at the same place, no one would want to give up on an opportunity like this to show off their wealth.”
”And the Sect of Enlightenment is something which earns the second most amount of wealth among all the top forces due to all the money it receives in the forms of 'prayer'.”
”Prayers?”
”The Sect of Enlightenment due to acting like it is the only good sect which protects peace and controls who receives the blessing of good luck on the Mainland depending on how they behave, there is no shortage in the number of suckered that send them gifts hoping to be blessed by some good luck.”
”So they're essentially a cult?”
Smiling happily because Bai Long seemed to. Be understanding her more than she expected, Lifen nodded her head and said, ”Yup. They're a hypothetical blood-sucking cult.”
”So which force is the one that earns the most money? Please don't say the Divine Night Sect.”
Rolling her eyes, Lifen said, ”It's those greedy bastards from the Nirvana Palace who earn the most.”
”They're the number one force when it comes to producing and selling alchemy pills.”
”Oh, is that some anger I hear?”
”Between us and the Nirvana Palace? Nah. We actually make them pay a protection fee to us every year because they refused to sell is the pills we wanted once.”
The more Bai Long learnt about the Divine Night Sect, the more he felt like they were the neighbourhood bully who enjoyed doing all sorts of evil things.
”Shall we go?”
”Where?”
”To the birthday party of course. After all, we can't be the only ones not visiting them and giving them a gift.”
Even though Lifen expected that Bai Long had some sort of a plan when she heard the way he talked about giving a gift, she really didn't want to go to that snobby party being thrown by the Sect of Enlightenment.
”Really? I'm pretty sure that the party will be more boring than you can expect.”
”It's fine. I'm confident in turning it more than enough interesting for a lifetime.”
Deciding to trust in Bai Long, Lifen sighed a little and said, ”Fine. If you're that confident, then let's go.”
…
Flying outside if the camp set by the Divine Night Sect, the duo quickly flew near the Sect of Enlightenment's camp when Lifen suddenly asked, ”This interesting thing that you're going to be doing, will it end up causing them to chase after us?”
