Chapter 1154                                    
           									
Sky Reaching City was a spirit-grade continent's hub .  It was many times more peaceful than heaven- and sanctity-grade continents' cities .  That peacefulness made it hard to forget that Jiang Chen murdered Ji Hai, a Wizard Clan warrior . 
With the banquet approaching, citizens began discussing the matter once again .  They all wondered whether Jiang Chen would attend .  Additional questions swirled around the fact that Jiang Chen had fought against Ji Yuan from the Wizards Clan . 
The news quickly spread from the Scarlet Blood Field stated that Jiang Chen had battled Ji Yuan's incarnation, gained the victory, and snatched the Wizard Blade .  Such news spread made it to all corners of the Heavenly Martial Arts Realm .  The people found it unbelievable, but they quickly got an adequate explanation for it . 
The two men had a battle to the death .  That meant neither of them would hold anything back and they could use all techniques .  Jiang Chen had already revealed his powerful external power possessed when he ran amok in the All Saints Sect .  Since Ji Yuan couldn't hand over his secret weapons into his incarnation, such an outcome wasn't strange . 
However, there were now more grudges between Jiang Chen and Wizard Clan .  People suspected that a great battle would likely occur at the banquet if Jiang Chen attended . 
"He will go . " Lin Shuangyue was quite sure of this matter .  
Only people who interacted with Jiang Chen were aware of this .  However, she didn't continue discussing the matter .  When the flying ship stopped, she looked at the surface .  A strange look appeared on her face . 
They were on one of Sky Reaching City's most flourishing streets .  It had on it a tall building that stood out here like a crane in a flock of chickens .  Inside it was the city's most famous restaurant, Stars Plucking Restaurant .  It was rumored that one could eat dragon's meat there .  The people who could enter it were all wealthy and respectable .  Ordinary people couldn't get in . 
"You should quieten after a while," Lin Shuangyue said .  "Even if you get angry, please bear it for me, OK?"
Lu Ping looked over at her and noticed that her pretty face was filled with worry .  He couldn't help but wonder what means Madame Lin possessed or how she managed to force Lin Shuangyue to be so docile and obedient . 
    "I will," he replied . 
After getting a positive reply, Lin Shuangyue's mind was set at ease .  She took him to the entrance of Star Plucking Building . 
The servant standing in front of the entrance to welcome guests recognized her with just a glance .  "Young Miss Lin, Madame Lin is waiting for you inside . "
Lin Shuangyue nodded and asked him to show them the way . 
Lu Ping followed behind them without uttering a single word .  After entering, he sized up the restaurant's layout .  A sign of appreciation could be seen in his eyes . 
The restaurant was a place of charm and beauty .  It didn't seem like an ordinary restaurant with tables assembled together .  It was more like a garden overflowing with vitality .  
There were many private rooms here .  They continued proceeding forward until they reached the depths of the restaurant .  The servant showing them the way knocked on a door .  Someone inside the room opened the door . 
Lu Ping discovered that Madame Lin alone, who was sitting at the table, wasn't alone .  There were several other men and women in the room . 
The additional people were out of Lin Shuangyue's expectations .  When she saw a woman the same age as her, displeasure appeared on her face . 
The people sitting at the table were all sizing up Lu Ping, but they didn't look directly at him .  They just examined him out of the corners of their eyes . 
                 The beautiful woman sitting at the center shouted out excitedly, "Shuangyue!"
"Mother!"
"Sit down here," Madame Lin said .  "Why don't take a look at yourself? You have stayed outside for so long and have lost so much weight .  You are getting too thin . "
Lin Shuangyue nodded and led Lu Ping to the table .  She said, "Mother, this is Lu Ping, whom you asked for . "
She was dissatisfied with her family's ice-cold attitude toward Lu Ping, but he strode forward and calmly greeted them .  Such actions benefited his character .
