The full-moon banquet for Jiang Linting was a bustling and lively affair. After lunch, apart from the four great sects and Wei Wuxian's group, the other immortal sects successively took their leave. Jiang Cheng escorted them to the dock and watched them depart one by one before returning to the main hall.
Xiao Linting had been sent back to his room around lunchtime and should have been fast asleep by now. Because of the large crowd earlier, Jiang Cheng hadn't had a proper chance to chat with Wei Wuxian and the others. Now that everyone else had gone, he finally found some free time, walked over with a cup of wine in hand, and sat down beside them. Jiang Weifeng thoughtfully brought over some fresh side dishes to go with the alcohol. The group drank and chatted until the hour of *Shen*, when the gathering finally came to an end.
Nie Huaisang had a mediocre tolerance for alcohol and was already feeling quite dizzy. Jiang Cheng originally intended to have him stay the night, but Nie Huaisang declined, and supported by his disciples, he staggered off outside.
