Chapter 55: The Feast Begins



He even hoped that Chen Chong would go overboard in his treatment of him.

It would be even better if he could put himself in a life-or-death situation.

With Shuang Jiang by his side, Su Jingzhen was fearless.

At this moment, his gaze swept over Chen Jinshi from afar.

If this were in the past, Su Jingzhen might have felt envious and admired him.

But now, thinking about the foundations he had built, Chen Jinshi seemed insignificant in comparison.

Su Jingzhen was still younger than Chen Jinshi, but given some time, he was confident that he could surpass him.

Before long, the dishes and wine were served.

Their long table was filled with all sorts of exotic meats and colorful spiritual wines.

Just from the dishes alone, one could sense the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy.

It was enough to make one’s mouth water.

Considering the numerous gifts he had received and Chen Jinshi’s renowned reputation in Linjiang City, this feast was indeed worthy of his name.

As the dishes were served, Su Jingzhen’s attention quickly turned to the food.

He couldn’t afford to not eat his fill, or he would be in trouble later.

At the same time, he looked at Ning Yao and smiled, “Girl, eat more.”

“Tomorrow you will awaken your spiritual roots, and these dishes will be beneficial for you.”

Before becoming a cultivator, if one could nourish their body with spiritual energy-infused food, it would have a positive impact on their foundation.

Su Jingzhen spoke, and then he himself took the lead in eating.

As a Body Cultivator, Su Jingzhen’s demand for these dishes was undoubtedly greater.

For other cultivators, these dishes were just a luxury, occasionally satisfying their cravings.

But for Su Jingzhen, they were a necessity.

“Come on, friends, let’s not be polite,” Su Jingzhen said to Luo Yuebai, who was sitting on the side, eating quickly.

Luo Yuebai picked up a cup of spiritual wine and smiled, seemingly uninterested in the dishes.

Shuang Jiang, on the other hand, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the beast meat, and then frowned.

She then gave up on the idea of continuing to eat.

It was clear that in her opinion, even though Chen Chong had invited the head chef of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, the flavor was still far inferior to Su Jingzhen’s cooking.

It couldn’t even stir up her appetite.

As a result, the entire table of dishes became Su Jingzhen and Ning Yao’s exclusive domain.

After a while, many cultivators began to leave their seats.

They went to socialize with other cultivators they wanted to get to know or befriend.

This was also one of the main reasons many cultivators attended the banquet.

Luo Yuebai smiled slightly at Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang, then stood up, swaying his wine cup.

“Daoist Su, Daoist Shuang, please enjoy your meal. I’ll take my leave for a while.”

After speaking, he left his seat.

What surprised Su Jingzhen was that Luo Yuebai directly headed towards the three tables in the center of the courtyard, and his target was none other than Feng Qingya!

At this time, most cultivators were also heading towards those three tables to pay their respects.

As the host of the day, Chen Jinshi didn’t need to be mentioned.

Huayang Sect was the local tyrant, and they needed to save face.

Treasure Gathering Pavilion held a special position, and everyone wanted to get close to them.

However, most people only left their names after paying their respects, then drank a cup and left.

They all had their own pride.

But what shocked Su Jingzhen and everyone else was that Luo Yuebai walked over with his wine cup and sat down opposite Feng Qingya.

And at this time, Feng Qingya didn’t show any displeasure.

When this scene unfolded, Su Jingzhen noticed Chen Jinshi, who was surrounded by many people, and his facial expression slightly froze.

There was a hint of displeasure and jealousy.

“Who is that guy? How dare he be so bold?”

“I’m not familiar with him, probably a cultivator who just moved to Linjiang City.”

“But why didn’t Feng Qingya show any reaction? It’s strange.”

“It’s clear to everyone that Chen Jinshi has feelings for Feng Qingya.”

“This guy, in someone else’s territory, doesn’t seem to care about giving Chen Jinshi face at all, and it’s suspected that he’s intentionally trying to make things difficult for Daoist Chen.”

“……”

After the initial shock, many people began to whisper to each other again.

“This Daoist Luo is really interesting.”

Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhe became more and more curious.

At this time, Shuang Jiang raised her eyebrows.

“Have you already forgotten the advice I gave you earlier?”

Shuang Jiang’s tone was laced with a hint of mockery.

Su Jingzhe was stunned for a moment. “Of course not, but I am indeed a little curious about him.”

Su Jingzhen spoke the truth.

Shuang Jiang didn’t say anything else, quietly sitting in her original position with her eyes closed and cultivating.

For her, this kind of occasion was indeed quite boring.

The toasting ceremony continued for a relatively long time.

But from start to finish, not a single person came to toast with Su Jingzhen and his group.

Almost everyone knew that he and Chen Chong didn’t get along.

And this time, being invited by Chen Chong, it was clear that there was a special purpose behind it.

No one was willing to take the risk of offending Chen Chong by coming over to socialize with Su Jingzhen.

Of course, in everyone’s eyes, Su Jingzhen didn’t have any value in terms of social connections.

He was happy to be carefree.

Half an hour later, there were still many people walking around the tables at the banquet.

Su Jingzhen and Ning Yao had almost finished eating the food on their table.

Su Jingzhen felt extremely good, even wanting to practice a few rounds of “Python Scales Power”.

At this time, Chen Chong stood up again, holding a cup of wine, in the center of the courtyard.

“I, Chen Chong, would like to toast everyone.”

As he spoke, everyone at the banquet quieted down.

Everyone understood that Chen Chong’s toast was just an excuse, and he was probably going to get to the main point.

With his current status, and with Chen Jinshi and the Huayang Sect’s executives present, he wouldn’t just let the opportunity pass.

The cultivators who were walking around the tables also returned to their seats, aware of the situation.

Many people’s gazes quietly turned towards Su Jingzhen.

Only Luo Yuebai remained seated at Feng Qingya’s table, not returning to his seat.

That guy seemed to still be chatting with Feng Qingya.

At this time, people were still shocked about Luo Yuebai, but they seemed to have accepted the fact that he was sitting with Feng Qingya.

What everyone was more concerned about was what Chen Chong wanted to do.

“Earlier, I said that I wanted to discuss some matters with everyone during this banquet.”

Everyone remained silent, quietly waiting for Chen Chong’s next words.

He continued, “I, Chen, know that my talent is limited, and my cultivation can only reach this level.”

“But when it comes to nurturing the next generation, I am always enthusiastic.”

“Seeing those children awaken their excellent spiritual roots, I feel extremely relieved.”

“Establishing Cuiliu School and benefiting the children of Linjiang City has become the meaning of my life.”

At this point, Chen Chong’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on Su Jingzhen.

This guy was indeed plotting something.
