A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 333: Gang Leader Sun

A refined and elegant young man, surrounded by several wealthy young masters, ascended to the second floor.

This youth was in his thirties, with a handsome jade-like face and a faint smile that made people feel as if a spring breeze was brushing past them—instantly leaving a good impression. The barely audible footsteps came from this very person.

The young man chatted and laughed with those around him, then swept his gaze lightly over the second floor.

Upon seeing Han Li’s ordinary and unremarkable appearance, he didn’t pay much attention and directly went up to the third floor. It seemed this was the so-called “honored guest.”

As soon as the group ascended the stairs, several exquisite dishes were brought up by servant boys like a flowing stream. Then, the servants and guards were chased downstairs by those young masters, clearly not wanting others overhearing their conversation.

Seeing this, Han Li’s interest grew even stronger. He quietly transmitted his spiritual awareness upstairs and clearly heard every word spoken.

“Brother Li, we owe you a big favor this time. Otherwise, we would have suffered a great loss! It really means a lot that you came to meet us. Come, let me first toast to Brother Li!” said the thin youth’s voice, filled with gratitude.

“It’s nothing. Those outsiders dared to abduct people right under the nose of our Five Colors Sect—that was a serious taboo. I just stepped in to save a few people; it was the right thing to do,” the handsome young man replied politely, very approachable.

Hearing words like “Five Colors Sect” and “Brother Li,” Han Li downstairs showed a slight look of surprise.

“Could it be a coincidence? They just happen to be connected to the Five Colors Sect!” Han Li was somewhat astonished.

“No matter what, without Brother Li’s help this time, we would have been in grave danger. If Brother Li ever needs our assistance in the future, we won’t refuse,” another young master, seemingly puffing out his chest, said.

“Thank you for your kind offer! But the group that abducted you isn’t ordinary. That person is notorious in the Jianghu. Otherwise, with your status in Jiayuan City, who would dare to move against you?” The handsome youth shifted his tone.

“Yeah, these kidnappers were really fierce. I was sleeping safely at home, and the next thing I know, I’m somewhere else—it was terrifying! Luckily, our fathers found my family in time, or it would have been a real nightmare!” The thin youth said with lingering fear.

“Actually, Lord Wang and the others simply didn’t seek...” The young man surnamed Li chatted with the others.

From their brief words, Han Li pieced together the general situation.

These few well-known young masters in Jiayuan City had been kidnapped by a group of outsiders skilled in the Jianghu. Their fathers, desperate, sought help from the Five Colors Sect. The young man here was likely the son of the Five Colors Sect leader, who quickly acted to rescue them. Now, they were hosting a banquet to express their deep gratitude to this young sect master.

Absentmindedly staring out the window, Han Li listened carefully to their flattering words, hoping to catch useful information about the Five Colors Sect leader.

Soon, the thin youth’s greeting roused Han Li’s attention.

“Brother Li, I heard the Sect Master Li will soon celebrate his sixtieth birthday. Your esteemed mansion must be preparing for the event. By the way, your father is truly vigorous for his age! Full of energy, not a trace of old age at all! When the time comes, we must have a glass of birthday wine!” he said.

“Heh! My father’s cultivation is deep; naturally, he’s no ordinary person. If you all come, I, Li, will be most honored. Besides, he just returned from inspecting branch sects and is preparing to personally organize the celebration at home. He values this birthday greatly,” the young sect master replied with a smile.

“Well then...”
