The cold duck stood outside the door to welcome guests.

Yes, welcoming guests in person, not doing it for the servants, depends on his identity. If he is a child of a large clan and a higher level, unfortunately, he is just an ordinary foundation-building inner sword, relying on long-sleeved dancing. This is a world of monks after all.

When he saw Li Ji among the group of people in the deacon room in Xuanyuan City, he was a little disbelief, and then he strode forward. With Li Ji here, his style of this banquet could be one level higher.

"Junior Brother Jackdaw, why are you here? If I knew you were willing to come, I invited you early in the morning. I thought that a motivated monk like you would look down on such a banquet."

Li Ji smiled and said, "I was reminiscing about the past with Senior Brother Huang. I heard that Senior Brother had delicious food here, so I came here uninvited, right?"

"Why can't you even invite me?" Han Ya led everyone into the hall and arranged the most noble seat, Xiangming and fruits before the meal, to deliver it.

The Han Ya's house is really not small, even in the west of the city where rich people gather, it is also a mid-range. It can be seen that the family has accumulated over ten years of operation and the wealth he has saved is very rich.

Of course, when a person with status holds a banquet, there will not be a dozen people gathering a table like a restaurant, but each person has a jade stick. The banquet is also a separate meal system.

Before everyone arrived, Han Ya went to greet the guests. Li Ji was chatting with the zodiac while secretly looking at the layout of the entire hall.

This is a circular hall, with dozens of tables also arranged in a circular shape, with a huge space in the middle, which is obviously used for singing and dancing by Mei Ji. The whole arrangement is not too luxurious, but the cold duck obviously uses his heart, the color matching is appropriate, simple and atmospheric, and a very good view.

The guests arrived soon. In addition to the deacon room, there were also children of a large clan, powerful princes, merchants and great merchants, and all kinds of people, all of whom were all in Xuanyuan City, which shows Han Yu’s social skills over the years.

Li Ji came here, one for the sake of the face of the zodiac and the other for the food. The others were not concerned about and had no intention of making friends with others. They were all people in the world, not the same way.

After Han Ya gave a brief speech, the banquet officially began, and a group of dancers and singers rushed in to cheer everyone up. I have to say that Han Ya is really a very eye-catching person and never mentions Li Ji's name. He knew that Li Ji was not good at this, and he was very satisfied to be here to support him.

After the dishes were served, Li Ji quickly focused on the food. He ate it and did not think it had anything to do with demeanor, nor did he think that as a distinguished guest, nor did he care about other people's opinions.

In some aspects, monks are really a very miserable group. They have keen taste buds, invincible teeth, and stomach bags that are just like foodies. However, most of the time they can only rely on fasting pills to satisfy their hunger?

Fortunately, he is not the only one who eats and drinks. The monks have a good appetite and are amazing in combat. There is only one reason for the small sip of wine and eating meat with gentle tastes: there is a problem with the practice.

This is a real world. Li Ji was feeling while eating. He thought that he would also cause contempt from some people because of his appearance, which would lead to a slap in the face. Now it seems that he is thinking too much.

He was wrong again.

Three middle-aged men in the Taoist dress were sitting far away from Li Ji. They did not belong to Xuanyuan City, but were disciples of the Dingjun Peak of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. They were brought to the banquet by a friend by chance, but unexpectedly they saw someone they disliked in the banquet.

"Is it him?" Tulin asked the junior brother beside him in confusion.

"It was him. When I came back from Jiugong, I saw him at Xizhao Peak, and Jackdaw, that's right." Tu Yuan replied.

"Hehe, Xuanyuan's two heroes are so powerful. I don't know if the name is not true?" Another Taoist Tu Yue sneered.

The three people, Tulin was in a state of heart-warming, Tuyuan Tuyue was all in the fusion realm, and they were all outstanding disciples of the outer swords at the Dingjun Peak. Tulin was not qualified to participate in the Nine Palace Trial after exceeding the realm, while Tuyuan Tuyue missed the Nine Palaces because he chose the sect competition.

Many disciples from the Foreign Sword lineage have opinions on Li Ji and Wu’s journey to the west.

This is not just a distinction between internal and external swords, but also many other factors. For example, no one of the nine palaces’ outer swords did not come back this time, which hurts the outer sword lineage;

The inner sword below the Jindan has already included the three masters of Xuanyuan, and now the Xuanyuan two masters are added. There is no external sword, which is very embarrassing;

The Sword Sect widely publicized the achievements of Li Ji and Wu's journey to the west, but they didn't mention much about the sword cultivators who died in battle. This was a bit unacceptable to the outer sword lineage, which had 71 people dead. They felt that their efforts were not respected enough. Obviously, Xuanyuan's biased propaganda was causing trouble.

"The blood of seventy-one fellow disciples of my outer sword lineage has made him famous." Tu Yuan gritted his teeth and said that this Nine Palace Trial of Dingjun Peak was the peak that suffered the greatest loss. Thirty-one people made the peak master Zhenzhen, and many of them were old brothers who had been with him for decades.

"You can't say that, the inner sword lineage has also lost twenty-one." Tulin's words seemed to be persuading, but in fact it was more like adding fuel to the fire. He couldn't stand Li Ji for another reason. Tuhai, who had had a bad relationship with Li Ji, has always been very close to him.

"It's not necessarily a super-strong person until the end. It's just a waste of luck. Who can tell me if I kill a few enemies? One of these two people said they killed thirty-eight and the other said they killed thirty-seven. Relying on the lack of evidence, it's really disgusting."

Tuyue's statement is still very marketable in the Outer Sword lineage. Maybe the real hero is in the Outer Sword lineage? It's just that the luck is not good and I didn't stick to it until the end. It's also a big blame for Li Ji and Wu Xixing who didn't leave shadow stones as evidence after killing others. Li Ji wanted to keep a low profile, while Wu Xixing was proud and didn't care.

"What do you mean by the two junior brothers?" Tulin asked pretended.

"My brother's intention is that there will be a sword show after the banquet. We and the three of us can do this... embarrass him in front of everyone, and relieve our hearts a little." The earlier the Tu had a plan, unless the disciples of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect applied for a life-and-death battle, there would be no fierce conflict outside. If there were casualties, it would be a death penalty. There was no such thing as a conciliation.

But sword scenes are different. Just like when a literati drinks beautifully, they will fight for poetry, and when a martial artist drinks well, they will fight for it. When a monk, especially a sword cultivator, there will be sword scenes.

The so-called sword scene is not directly targeting the opponent's monks, nor is there a fixed way. Instead, it compares the sword speed, accuracy, long range, manipulation, power, etc., which can probably represent some of the strength of the sword cultivator. Of course, a real good player is disdainful. There are too many factors that determine the outcome of the battle, which cannot be represented by these simple items.

"Okay, that's it. Brother Tu Yuan is good at practicing silk-wrapped swords, so he competes with him for control. Brother Tu Yue is talented and has super-human speed, so he competes with him for sword speed. Although I have been in the school for the longest time, I have no special skills, so I can compete with him for strength."

He was not stupid. He knew that Li Ji could last until the end. Even if he was not as powerful as he boasted, he might not be much weaker. Therefore, he would only have his own strengths and make sure that this person who deceived the world and robbed the world and was in a mess.
