The next day there was no meeting, so Gu Tao spent the entire day fishing by the riverside with the dung beetles and even enjoyed a night at the bar run by a cat with Xiuling, drinking to their hearts' content. Suffice it to say, the female cat singing on stage was truly sexy and had a beautiful voice, it's just that the minimum charge at the bar was ridiculously expensive—just a few casual drinks cost us over three thousand, which was way more nauseating than Houhai.
On the third day, an old man resembling Gandalf finally gathered everyone together again to discuss Gu Tao joining their ranks, and this time the attitude of the middle-aged man took Gu Tao by surprise. He had braced himself for a tough negotiation, warning and threats included. But that guy did a complete one-eighty, not only heaping praise on Gu Tao but also arguing for him to represent the Southern Sect and directly join their alliance.
