— Meanwhile - Thousand Prosperity Tavern —
Within the tavern, Mo Jue had come out to celebrate with his group of old friends, including the Blood Grotto Patriarch, Hua Zuixian, and many others from the demonic path under his influence.
As for Jian Heng, due to his identity as one of the leaders of the righteous path, he could not stay and drink with the leader of the demonic path. So he excused himself and expressed his apologies.
Mo Jue understood the complication. The heart might be willing, but identity made things difficult. This was the kind of situation where the masks people wore in society were often more important than what they truly desired.
Inside the VIP room of the tavern, Mo Jue sat with the Blood Grotto Patriarch and Hua Zuixian. The two sat on his left and right.
The Blood Grotto Patriarch raised his cup toward Mo Jue. "I must congratulate you once again. Lord Mo, you have truly gained a good and powerful son-in-law!"
