While watching the competition, Wei Jing found that the disciples of the Dian Cang Sect were obviously much calmer. No matter whether they won or lost during the competition, most of them could maintain their demeanor. Although the Huashan Sect was more restrained than yesterday, some disciples still knew how to do it. Every now and then he would use every opportunity to make a sarcastic comment.
Wei Jing guessed that this was because Zhang Jinhou's status in the Huashan Sect was not as good as Xiao Yao's status in the Diancang Sect. After several more competitions, no matter how sarcastic and sarcastic the Huashan faction members were, their opponents were often unmoved. They themselves found it boring to talk, and gradually stopped talking.
The competition finally got back on track, and in the afternoon there were more static lectures. Most of the students were drowsy after listening to them. It was rare to be able to concentrate on class, so naturally they had no energy to cause trouble.
The day's trip ended in the evening, and the journey was uneventful. At this time, Sima Sect Leader and Wei Jing saw that the time had come, so they went to the Xiangyun Restaurant for a banquet.
As soon as the two of them entered the wing room on the second floor, they saw that the other attendees had arrived and were greeting each other. Wei Jing took a closer look and saw that Yu Junyan was coming with Yanjiang City.
Yao Yunyang brought Xiao Yao, and Ji Cangran also brought the deputy pavilion master Lou Yongyue, along with the sect master and himself. It happened that two people from each of the four major forces attended the meeting.
The owner of Xiangyun Restaurant couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he saw that the four major factions were already seated at the table. Although he was worried about a recurrence of the last conflict, the two groups came to explain the dinner a few days ago, but the boss did not dare to refuse, so he had to accept it with tears. got this business.
Wei Jing saw him looking helpless before going upstairs. He couldn't express his sorrow, so he could only go up and comfort him, saying that since he and the sect master were present today, the dinner would end safely, so he could rest assured.
At this time, eight people had already taken their seats. Wei Jing secretly glanced at the entire audience. He first saw Yu Junyan and Yan Jiangcheng. Both of them were tall and strong men about forty years old. Although they and other participants had just arrived first. They had met Li, but Wei Jing felt that both of them were equally difficult to get close to. The difference was that Yu Junyan was arrogant, while Yanjiang City was cold and cold.
In addition, as far as Wei Jing knew, the two brothers were probably at odds with each other. When he saw the two of them coming together, Wei Jing was also secretly surprised.
Looking at Yao Yunyang and Xiao Yao's master and apprentice again, Yao Yunyang had spent the longest time chatting with Sima Sect Leader when they had just greeted each other. Wei Jing guessed that he might want to build a good relationship with the Sima family and gain support from the Sima family for the Diancang sect this time.
Xiao Yao nodded gently to Wei Jing, meaning that if something happens later, they can take care of each other.
Wei Jing nodded in response and thought to himself: "It's rare that Miss Tang is not with Brother Xiao, so I can give her senior brother some support. I will just keep an eye on her senior brother for Miss Tang during this dinner."
Finally, Wei Jing looked at Ji Cangran and Lou Yongyue. Ji Cangran still maintained his usual polite manner. Even when he was talking to the sect master, he was still personable and chatting and laughing, as if Tianji Pavilion and the Sima Family had always been so friendly. No grudges at all.
Lou Yongyue followed Ji Cangran as usual and didn't say much.
When everyone was seated, Yu Junyan rushed to say: "This gathering is a matter within our sect. Sect Master Sima and Master Ji took care of the comradeship in the world, so they took the time to come to help. Yu Minggan five days ago, and we will be here today." As a courtesy to a certain host, please don't be polite and just enjoy the delicious food and wine."
Then he bowed his hands to everyone, indicating that everyone could start eating.
His words were on the surface a conversation between the host and the guests, but since this banquet was due to a gathering of two factions, it stands to reason that Yu Junyan and Yao Yunyang should both be the hosts of this banquet, and at this time Yu Junyan Jun Yan, however, did not mention a word about Yao Yunyang and the Diancang sect, indicating that he was the host of the banquet. It could be said that he secretly took advantage of the Diancang sect and made them inferior to him.
How could Yao Yunyang not know about this? He immediately retorted and said, "Yao is also grateful to the Sima family and Tianji Pavilion for their generous help. With two discerning eyes assisting as judges, the results of the competition will be more fair and credible, and no one will have to lie and refuse to admit their defeat. "
As far as Wei Jing knew, since the gathering of the two factions, the Diancang faction has had a slight upper hand in victory. Wei Jing remembered that the same was true when he first arrived in Nanyang, so the phrase "cheating and refusing to admit his fault" naturally refers to Huashan. Sent.
Seeing that the two masters were already quarreling with each other before their buttocks were warmed up, Wei Jing secretly stuck out his tongue and thought: "Even for such a boring and false reputation, I have to blush, dignified How come the leaders of the two major sects of Jianghu behave like ten-year-old children when they quarrel?"
Xiao Yao, on the other hand, looked helpless, with an expression on his face that seemed to say: "Why did it start again?"
Sect Master Sima returned the greeting with his hands raised: "You two masters are very polite. It is a rare opportunity for me to have the honor to attend this event. Both sects have extraordinary attainments in martial arts, Buddhism, and Taoism. I have won this honor." Much benefit.”
Ji Cangran also said: "It's easy to say, as Sima Sect Master said, Tianji Pavilion has always been happy to see people in the martial arts community having more exchanges and exchanges. Investigating the origin, it is for this reason that we created "The Return of Ten Thousand Martial Arts". This time, I will point Cang and The gathering in Huashan coincides with the purpose of "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors", so I should give you my full support!"
Although Sima Sect Leader and Ji Cangran had different positions, they were working together to give the two factions some relief at the moment. Seeing this scene, Wei Jing felt quite complicated, but Ji Cangran was able to calm his cheeks while soothing his cheeks. Secretly praising himself and "Ten Thousand Warriors Return to Hidden", Wei Jing couldn't help but admire him secretly.
Lou Yongyue also continued: "It seems that the gathering between Dian Cang and Huashan has been going on for a long time. The friendship between the two sects is a good example for people in the martial arts world. If all the major forces in the martial arts world can coexist peacefully, it will be a great success for the martial arts world." Blessing."
On the surface, this does not sound problematic, but if you compare it to the situation at this year's gathering, to those who know the inside story, Lou Yongyue's words sound like he is mocking both factions.
At this time, Yanjiang City, who had never talked much, suddenly answered and said: "Fifty years ago, during the dispute between Fengyun Alliance and Zhengdao, our two factions worked together under the leadership of Li Daxia. At that time, Elder Tang and his family of our sect were brutally killed by the leader of Fengyun Alliance. When Jiang Zhaojun destroyed his family, it was the people from the Diancang faction who helped us track down the real culprit. After two months of bloody battles between Zhengdao and the Fengyun Alliance, Diancang and Huashan often joined hands to look after each other. Over time, their cooperation became It became natural to get used to it, and until the Fengyun Alliance incident came to an end, the friendship between the two factions remained unchanged."
Yanjiang City was talking about a passage, and Yao Yunyang looked quite disapproving. Yu Junyan seemed to have not heard what his senior brother said, but Sima Sect Master nodded slightly, seeming to have some knowledge of this section.
After hearing this, Wei Jing secretly felt suspicious. If the two factions had such a friendship in the past, why did it become like this in recent years? However, it is not easy to ask about this matter in front of the two factions. Let’s see if we can find something to talk about later to get Yanjiang City to talk more.
At this time, everyone's conversation had gradually become lively, but few people actually used chopsticks. Only Yao Yunyang was using the small ones by himself. If there were no one else around, Sima Sect Leader and Ji Cangran only drank a few sips of tea, and although Xiao Yao saw Master had already started to eat, but seeing that all the seniors were silent, he didn't dare to move his chopsticks.
Ji Cangran said: "I have also heard about the dispute between Fengyun Alliance and Zhengdao back then. It is really a blessing for the martial arts world that the two factions can establish such a friendship through this."
Yan Jiangcheng also nodded and said: "Exactly! Yan believes that peace is the most important thing among sects. People in the martial arts community can judge who is superior and who is inferior. What's the use of unnecessary competition if it only causes disputes?"
These words were obviously of no use to Jun Yan, who frowned slightly and remained noncommittal.
At this time, the conversation stopped. Wei Jing saw that everyone was speechless for a moment, so he asked: "The next generation, the junior, knows little about Fengyun Alliance, so I dare to ask the seniors, what do you think of Jiang Zhaojun?"
