"Indeed... You already have a beautiful companion, such a grand occasion, you should bring your companion. Of course, if she doesn't listen, there's no need to bring her along. Otherwise, it would cause quite a laugh, and that wouldn't be good."
Li Xian strolled around the venue to get a general sense of the environment, then returned to the Cyan Ox Residence to continue honing his spear technique. During the evening meal, he informed Nangong Liuli about the banquet the next day.
Though Nangong Liuli did not fancy the Flower Cage Sect, she was worried about Li Xian's gambling duel and wanted to see the situation for herself, so she was willing to attend the banquet. Li Xian laughed, "Sister Liuli, if you attend the banquet, you mustn't be casual; you need to properly serve me."
Nangong Liuli teasingly said, "Dear brother, tomorrow I'll make sure you shine."
Li Xian said, "We need to practice a little tonight."
