Sure enough, Vice-President Tang was riled up. He hated the title. "Hmph! I have no time to talk nonsense with you. If you don't tell me the time and place, then I'll decide for you."
Of course, Elder Xu could not let him do that.
In the end, they decided to meet at the entrance of the North alley on East Main Street at 7:30 in the evening.
The East Main Street was nowhere near the Music Association. People from all walks of life converge around that area.
But it was a relatively flat and clear location, with no crooks or dark alleys for people to hide in. The Green Cloud Pavilion wouldn't be able to set up an ambush there.
They had more than an hour before the designated meeting time.
The elders ordered their apprentices to prepare a table full of dishes and encouraged everyone to have a good meal before heading out.
The table was soon laid out with specialty dishes of the capital, and they looked scrumptious.
