Chapter 378: Chapter 378: The Ye Family Banquet Chapter 378: Chapter 378: The Ye Family Banquet The Xiaoyao Palace Master’s sudden change of heart baffled Feng Wuchen and the others, but they didn’t dwell on it.

Shortly after leaving the Xiaoyao Palace, Ye Gucheng caught up with them, flashing into existence in front of Feng Wuchen and his companions.

“I’ve seen the Pill Emperor, and I’ve met Young Master Zhang!” Ye Gucheng said respectfully, clasping his hands in greeting.

“It’s you!” Liu Qingyang exclaimed in surprise, recognizing Ye Gucheng immediately.

“You’re that person from the Desolate Domain!” Miao Qingqing said, puzzled.

Feng Wuchen looked at Ye Gucheng with astonishment.

“I am Ye Gucheng,” Ye Gucheng introduced himself.

“The Ye family is in the eastern part of the Heavenly Realm, yet you’ve come to the north,” Feng Wuchen guessed, “If I’m not mistaken, it must have been you who secretly sent the message that caused the Xiaoyao Palace Master to suddenly change his stance?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Gucheng smiled and said, “Indeed.”

“So it was you who secretly sent the message. I was wondering why the Xiaoyao Palace Master had changed his mind!” Liu Qingyang said with a smile.

“Thank you,” Feng Wuchen said in gratitude.

The Xiaoyao Palace’s strength was fearsome, and if a real fight were to break out, none of them would be a match for the Palace Master; casualties would likely occur.

“The Pill Emperor is too kind!” Ye Gucheng admitted, somewhat surprised.

“Have you come looking for us?” Zhang Junlan asked, as that was not hard to guess.

Ye Gucheng nodded, saying respectfully, “Young Master Zhang is correct. In three days, the Ye family will be hosting a banquet, and we hope the Pill Emperor, Young Master Zhang, and the gentlemen will grace us with your presence.”

“If we refuse to attend after you’ve traveled all this distance from the east to extend your invitation, wouldn’t that be terribly disrespectful?” Feng Wuchen nodded, having a rather good impression of Ye Gucheng.

Moreover, since Ye Gucheng had just given them a hand, Feng Wuchen couldn’t think of a reason to refuse.

In fact, the Ye family hadn’t really organized a banquet, it was simply an invitation aimed at Feng Wuchen to visit the Ye family, and the banquet was specifically prepared for Feng Wuchen and his companions.

Considering the Ye family’s status in the Heavenly Realm, inviting some powerful upper echelons was not a problem at all.

Hearing Feng Wuchen’s response, Ye Gucheng was overjoyed and quickly said with a smile, “That’s wonderful! We will warmly welcome the Pill Emperor and Young Master Zhang in three days!”

Ye Gucheng had not expected to successfully invite Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan so smoothly.

However, Ye Gucheng also didn’t realize that Feng Wuchen’s ready agreement was not simply because Ye Gucheng had helped them.

Ye Gucheng was a top genius in the Heavenly Realm, with immense talent, ranking fourth on the talent list, and undoubtedly powerful.

Such a genius was someone whom Feng Wuchen also wished to recruit.

After Ye Gucheng left, Feng Wuchen chuckled, “I was just thinking of visiting the Ye family to find him, but it seems the heavens have arranged for him to come to me.”

“Ye Gucheng’s strength is indeed formidable, not inferior to Luoyan,” Nangong Zhan commented seriously.

“Let’s go. To recruit a genius, there’s no need to rush.” Feng Wuchen laughed, taking the lead and flying off.

“Teacher, the battle for the talent list is in ten days, do you want to register?” Zhang Junlan caught up and asked.

Feng Wuchen shook his head, saying, “There’s no need. The first and second on the talent list have likely entered the Heavenly Human Realm, and with my strength, I’m not yet their match.”

After pausing, Feng Wuchen continued, “It’s just right to use the battle for the talent list to observe the geniuses of the Heavenly Realm. There are many geniuses in the Heavenly Realm, and if we can recruit some, it would not be bad. Let’s go, have a good rest for a few days, then head to the Ye family and take a look.”

…

Three days later, Feng Wuchen and his seven companions rushed to the Ye family in the eastern part of the Heavenly Realm.

On this day, the Ye family held a banquet, bustling with excitement, extending invitations to the upper echelons of nearby powerful factions.

Although it was unclear why the Ye family was suddenly hosting a banquet, being able to attend was a great joy and an indication of their certain standing in the east.

Located in the eastern part of the Heavenly Realm’s Glass City, the Ye family’s status was extraordinary, the dominant force of the east.

To welcome Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan, the Ye family had indeed mobilized their entire cadre of experts, with family members lining up in a long queue from the main gate of the Ye family along the street all the way to the city gate.

Ye Gucheng stood at the city gate entrance.

The streets extending from the main entrance of the Ye residence to the city gate were absolutely swamped with people, yet the middle path was left open; pedestrians could only stand on the sides of the street or in the buildings flanking it.

Who was the Ye family preparing to receive that warranted such grand arrangements?

“What grand preparations by the Ye family, I wonder for whom today’s banquet is held.”

“Having been in Glass City for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen the Ye family welcome guests with such reverence.”

“Who exactly is the Ye family set to receive? From their doorway to the city gate, it’s all Ye family members!”

As the people of Glass City milled about in curious suspense, they also eagerly anticipated who could warrant such a respectful reception from the Ye family.

The more curious everyone became, the livelier Glass City got, with even cultivators from the surrounding cities driven by their inquisitiveness to come and see for themselves.

Outside the gate of Glass City, the crowd swelled, but the main thoroughfare leading to the gate was eerily empty, as no one dared enter it.

At this moment, Feng Wuchen and his seven companions had already arrived at Glass City, trying to push through the throng.

“Make way, make way,” Liu Qingyang strained to push forward, clearing a path for Feng Wuchen and the others.

“`

“Come over here, come over here!” At this moment, a young girl waved to Feng Wuchen and his companions, her pretty face wearing a sweet smile.

“Thank you.” Miao Qingqing gratefully responded.

“Xiao Yi, why are you inviting them over? There are already too many people.” A man beside the girl said with discontent, looking as if he disapproved of Feng Wuchen and his group.

The girl said nonchalantly, “It’s okay, squeezing in a bit won’t make us lose any flesh.”

“Sister, are you here to watch the excitement as well? Today, I don’t know what distinguished guest the Ye family has invited, but the whole city has come to see.” The girl looked at Miao Qingqing and the others with a smile and asked.

Miao Qingqing laughed lightly and said, “No, we have been invited by the Ye family.”

“Invited by the Ye family? Wow! Sister, you are amazing!” The girl’s face was full of admiration.

“That’s right, we are the Ye family’s most honored guests!” Dong Zhantian immediately stood out and bragged.

“The most honored guests? Just you?” The man looked doubtful, unable to see anything distinguished about Feng Wuchen and his companions.

The man scoffed and said, “The Ye family, as one of the six major powers in the Heavenly Realm, holds an exalted position in the east. Without a significant status, don’t even think about entering the Ye family’s doors. Even my Liu family, which is quite significant, was not included in the invitation, let alone you!”

Pausing, the man continued, “Given the Ye family’s status, even the six major powers haven’t caused such a fuss for the Ye family. It’s evident that the guest they are going to receive must have a terrifying identity, but definitely not the likes of you.”

While the man was talking on and on, Ye Gucheng had already spotted Feng Wuchen and his group, and at this moment, he was approaching them with an excited expression.

The crowd made way.

“Here comes Young Master Ye! You’d better watch what you say, lest you court death!” Noticing Ye Gucheng’s approach, the once talkative man’s face suddenly changed, and he quickly took on the demeanor of a boss instructing his underlings.

As soon as the man finished speaking, Ye Gucheng bowed respectfully to Feng Wuchen and said, “Welcome, Dan Emperor, Young Master Zhang!”

Feng Wuchen answered with a slight smile, “What kind of banquet is so grand that even Young Master Ye personally receives us?”

“It’s nothing much, just that my father has recently broken through to the fifth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, and we have arranged a feast to celebrate. Dan Emperor, please, Young Master Zhang, please!” Ye Gucheng said with a smile, still respectfully gesturing for them to enter.

The man beside them was dumbfounded, shocked at seeing Young Master Ye respectfully receiving Feng Wuchen and his group.

Thinking back to his previous mockery, the man’s face felt hot, for he had mocked those whom even Ye Gucheng must receive with the deepest respect.

“Wow! Sister, you really are incredible; Young Master Ye himself is coming to greet you!” The girl’s pretty face was filled with shock.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you inside to see.” Miao Qingqing said with a light laugh, taking the girl’s hand and walking out, with the astonished man quickly following behind them.

The man was so scared that he didn’t dare to make a peep.

“Dan Emperor? Young Master Zhang? Who are they? The Ye family has gone to such lengths to receive them?”

“To be received with such respect by the Ye family at such a young age, their identities must be truly terrifying. Young Master Ye addressed them as the Dan Emperor and Young Master Zhang, but who knows what their status might be?”

“The Ye family’s personal reception by Young Master Ye… I wonder what their backgrounds are? Even the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect hasn’t received such treatment, right?”

“I’ve never seen Young Master Ye be so respectful to anyone else before; who exactly are they?”

Seeing Ye Gucheng personally receive Feng Wuchen and his seven companions, everyone outside the city gates was shocked, causing quite a commotion as all eyes sized up Feng Wuchen and his group.

Everyone was extremely curious about the origins of Feng Wuchen and his companions.

Led by Ye Gucheng, Feng Wuchen and his group entered the city. The Ye family members at the city gate also followed, indicating that the esteemed guests the Ye family was welcoming were none other than the group led by Feng Wuchen, with no other guests coming after them.

On the streets of Glass City, the appearance of Feng Wuchen and his companions caused a stir among countless people who were curious about their origins.

After walking several streets, they were followed by a large group of cultivators, crowding the streets densely.

“Young Master Ye is very respectful to them; they’re probably not from the Heavenly Realm but could likely come from the Wuji Domain!”

“Their backing must be more terrifying than the Ye family!”

The crowd speculated among themselves.

“Dan Emperor, Young Master Zhang, this is the Ye residence, please!” Ye Gucheng once again made a respectful gesture, inviting them in.

“Welcome, Dan Emperor! Welcome, Young Master Zhang!” The Ye family guards all bowed respectfully, their faces filled with excitement.

One excited guard rushed in, shouting, “Family Head! Elders! The Dan Emperor and Young Master Zhang have arrived!”

“The Dan Emperor and Young Master Zhang have arrived?” The Family Head and the high-ranking members of the Ye family all showed excitement, quickly walking out of the grand hall.

The Ye family members, as well as the leaders of various smaller powers who had been invited, eager to see the precious guests the Ye family had invited, gathered closer to the Ye family’s compound.

They all wanted to see who the person was that made the Ye family mobilize such a reception and even sent Ye Gucheng for the personal greeting.

“The Dan Emperor?”

“Young Master Zhang?”

“Who are they? I’ve never heard of them before.”

Many of the leaders of the invited powers showed puzzled expressions.

Soon, Ye Gucheng led Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan into the Ye family compound.

“Welcome, Dan Emperor! Welcome, Young Master Zhang!” The Family Head and the Ye family high-ranking members greeted them excitedly and respectfully.
