The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2241: Chapter 2241: At the Banquet

After Jing Yan took his seat, Wuxia Immortal Venerable began to introduce all the important figures present to him.

Some of these people have vast forces behind them, while others are extremely powerful Immortal Venerable cultivators. Of course, most of the cultivators present are at the Immortal Charm Peak Level. Regardless, even across a Heavenly Domain, experts of the Immortal Venerable Realm remain very rare. Wuxia’s stepping into the Immortal Venerable Realm had stirred the entire Faro Heaven.

Yuantong Immortal Venerable is also here, seated beside Wuxia Immortal Venerable. Besides Yuantong Immortal Venerable, Jing Yan noticed that Elder Kuo Lian from the Mystic Moon Trading House also attended this banquet. Elder Kuo Lian showed great courtesy to Jing Yan, and in the eyes of outsiders, treated Jing Yan as an equal in status, which surprised many.

Mystic Moon Trading House is one of the top forces in Faro Heaven, an Immortal Domain level power, and Kuo Lian is one of the oldest elders of Mystic Moon Trading House. Elder Kuo Lian’s courteous attitude towards Jing Yan inevitably causes various thoughts in the minds of many.

After Jing Yan arrived, several other cultivators entered the hall one after another.

When the guests had almost all arrived, Wuxia Immortal Venerable announced the start of the banquet. A group of beautiful maids began to serve various delicacies and wines one after another.

“Fellow Daoists.”

“I am Wuxia, and I thank you all for taking the time to attend this banquet. Here, I first toast you all with this cup.” Wuxia Immortal Venerable raised a glass of wine and drank it down.

“Wuxia Immortal Venerable is too polite.”

“Indeed!”

“Wuxia Immortal Venerable has broken through the realm shackles and achieved the status of Immortal Venerable, which is a joyous event for everyone in Faro Heaven. How about we all raise a glass to toast Wuxia Immortal Venerable together?”

“Fabulous, fabulous!”

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely lively. Among the important figures present, many are skilled in social interaction and know how to animate the atmosphere in such occasions.

Many people toasted Wuxia, and although Wuxia would decline, even though she has reached the Immortal Venerable Realm, she still needs to consider some people’s face. Before she knew it, Wuxia Immortal Venerable had drunk quite a bit of wine, and her cheeks started to redden.

Upon reaching the Immortal Venerable Realm, under normal circumstances, one would not get drunk, even with such rare and special wine served at the banquet. But Jing Yan observed that there was indeed a trace of intoxication in Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s eyes.

“Could it be she hasn’t neutralized the alcohol?” Jing Yan frowned slightly.

If Wuxia Immortal Venerable was using Divine Power to neutralize it, she shouldn’t show signs of intoxication.

“Is Wuxia doing it intentionally?” Jing Yan sighed lightly in his heart.

Earlier, seeing Wuxia Immortal Venerable interacting with these people normally, Jing Yan thought Wuxia had moved past the incident from a few days ago, at least without being affected by it. Now it seems Wuxia was only pretending to be calm. If she truly let go of that matter completely, why would Wuxia behave like this today?

Jing Yan was clearly not the only one who noticed Wuxia’s drunkenness. They were puzzled, not understanding what was going on with Wuxia Immortal Venerable. Could it be that Wuxia Immortal Venerable intentionally wanted to get drunk?

“Daoist Wuxia, are you alright?” Yuantong Immortal Venerable, seated next to Wuxia Immortal Venerable, frowned as he looked at Wuxia and asked softly.

“I’m fine, what could be the matter? I’m very pleased today, so many Daoists are here, I’m truly happy. I, Wuxia, can’t let everyone leave dissatisfied.” Wuxia Immortal Venerable first smiled at Yuantong, then raised her voice to the crowd present.

After Wuxia Immortal Venerable finished speaking, the scene erupted again with praises for Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s double opening.

“Brother Jing Yan.” Someone spoke to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan turned his gaze to the speaker and smiled in response.

“Brother Jing Yan, I, old brother, toast you a cup, you should honor me with this face.” The man raised his wine cup.

Earlier, Wuxia Immortal Venerable had introduced this person to Jing Yan, although he is of the Immortal Charm Realm, he also has a very strong force behind him.

“Please, old brother!” Jing Yan said, then downed the wine in his cup.

After this, several people spontaneously raised glasses to toast Jing Yan.

Jing Yan handled them while pondering in his heart whether he should do something. Wuxia Immortal Venerable drinking like this surely wasn’t a good thing! Yet, how should he speak of it?

At this moment, Jing Yan indeed felt a bit worried. It’s not that he doesn’t like Wuxia Immortal Venerable, but he already has Bai Xue and Gao Feng. If he does anything with Wuxia, what about Bai Xue and Gao Feng? Jing Yan isn’t a conservative person, but if he really does something with Wuxia Immortal Venerable, shouldn’t he at least let Bai Xue and Gao Feng know first? Bai Xue and Gao Feng are his Daoist couple, he should respect them.

While Jing Yan was contemplating, the Chief Manager of Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion came from outside and quickly arrived in front of Wuxia Immortal Venerable.

“Immortal Venerable, Pu Bai Immortal Venerable has arrived.” The Chief Manager said in a low voice.

Though the Chief Manager’s voice was not very loud, quite a few people heard his words. As these people heard the name Pu Bai Immortal Venerable, their expressions visibly changed dramatically.

Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s gaze shifted slightly upon hearing this name.

“Quickly invite him!” Wuxia Immortal Venerable promptly said.

However, there was no need for the Chief Manager to go out to invite Pu Bai Immortal Venerable in, as two figures walked in from outside. Upon seeing these two people enter, Wuxia Immortal Venerable immediately rose to her feet.

Not only Wuxia Immortal Venerable, but all the cultivators present stood up, including Yuantong Immortal Venerable. Jing Yan also followed the crowd in standing.

“Hahaha…”

Among the two people who entered, one let out a loud laugh.

“Wuxia Immortal Venerable, I’m a bit upset, you held a banquet without inviting me.” The speaker squinted his eyes, wearing a dark gold robe, exuded a heavy aura, and his demeanor carried a pressure of a superior.

“Pu Bai Immortal Venerable, don’t wrong me, your esteemed status, how dare I casually invite you? I was afraid Pu Bai Immortal Venerable would blame me for being presumptuous!” Wuxia Immortal Venerable said with a smile.

The middle-aged man in the dark gold robe was the renowned and impressive Pu Bai Immortal Venerable.

“Hahaha…”

Pu Bai Immortal Venerable laughed again and then looked at Yuantong Immortal Venerable and said, “Brother Yuantong, it’s been a while since we last met.”

“Indeed, it has been quite some time since I last saw Brother Pu Bai.” Yuantong Immortal Venerable cupped his hands.

“Oh? Is Immortal Venerable E Si… also here?” Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s gaze moved to the person beside Pu Bai Immortal Venerable.

The person, dressed in a black robe, was tall and slender, with a sharp gaze and a cold aura enveloping his entire body.

Upon Yuantong Immortal Venerable mentioning the name E Si, the atmosphere in the hall changed abruptly, and Jing Yan could clearly feel the atmosphere shift in the space around him.

E Si? Who is this person? Jing Yan also fixed his gaze on the tall, slender man in a black robe.
