It is not surprising that these princes entertain the geniuses of the immortal sects at every Immortal Sect Conference. After all, the prince may ascend to the throne in the future, and these geniuses will become the mainstay of the immortal sects in the future.
Get to know each other early so that we can cooperate with each other in the future.
Moreover, these disciples of the Immortal Sect are not like the ministers of the court. They don't have to care about reputations such as party disputes, and they are more casual.
However, generally the princes first find some familiar people, and then introduce each other to each other, slowly expanding their social circle. Chu Liang and the second prince were not close friends.
Thinking that he may have learned about the world's famous chef tonight, he was afraid that he would have a grudge against Eunuch Tao, so he specially invited one more to eliminate the gap.
Chu Liang wrote a reply and informed the second prince that he would arrive on time tomorrow night. Since he wanted to get closer, there was no need for him to be aloof.
The next morning, the auditions for the Immortal Sect Conference were in full swing.
Compared with yesterday's series of group arena matches, today's matches were half less, but the quality was obviously increased. After all, it was a strong collision between yesterday's winners. The number of crushing games was reduced a lot, and some of the magical powers that suppressed the bottom of the box were also forced out.
When Chu Liang first arrived at the venue, he unexpectedly met several old acquaintances.
"Mr. Yin?" He looked at the team in front of him, slightly surprised.
Waiting on the sidelines to take the stage were actually the people from the Sun Moon Tower that they had met in the Mangbelly City before. That old man Yin was still sitting in a small car, but he must have been replenished with qi and blood medicine, and he no longer looked like he was dying.
And those preparing to take the stage in front of him were the four adopted sons of Kuang Tian Di.
"Young Master Chu?" Mr. Yin also smiled slightly when he saw Chu Liang.
There was a slight dispute between the two sides in the Mangbelly City before, but it was all thanks to Chu Liang that they were able to escape. Naturally, there will no longer be any old grudges now. The four brothers in the vast world all smiled when they saw Chu Liang.
After some pleasantries, Chu Liang also knew why they came to attend the Immortal Sect Conference.
After leaving the Mangbelly City, the Supervisory Office interrogated some matters and then let them leave. Although most of the people in the Sun Moon Tower dispersed, some remained. The adopted sons like them all grew up in the Mangbelly City and had never been outside, so it was inevitable that they had nowhere to go.
Mr. Yin took them and prepared to erect the Sun and Moon Tower outside. With their strength, they could be regarded as a medium-sized immortal sect in the world of immortal cultivation.
However, since you want to establish a sect, the first step is to make a name for yourself, so as to attract the resources of cultivation and talents.
The Immortal Sect Conference is a God-given opportunity.
As long as an ordinary small sect can reach the second round of the Hundred Sects Competition, it means that it has the strength to rank among the top 100 in the land of Kyushu, which is enough to make a name for itself.
That's why Mr. Yin brought several adopted sons to attend the Immortal Sect Conference.
Chu Liang looked at them in confusion. The age limit for the Immortal Sect Conference was quite strict, and they were usually reviewed. Normal participants were around twenty, and those over twenty-eight years old would definitely not be able to participate.
Forget about the other three young people, can a middle-aged man like Yin Guang participate?
Yin Guang looked at Chu Liang in the eyes. Perhaps he had been questioned too much and had developed enough sensitivity, so he immediately replied: "I am twenty-five."
"Ah?" Chu Liang was surprised subconsciously, feeling a little bad, and added: "Brother Yin is indeed...young and mature..."
"My eldest brother just looks a little older." Yin Laosi smiled and said, "He has looked like this since he was eight years old."
Oops.
Chu Liang exclaimed inwardly, then turned his gaze to the opposite side. The reason why he came here with Shushan's team was actually because of the opponents of Sun Moon Tower.
On the opposite side, preparing to challenge the Riyue Tower, was the team from the Xihai Xuanjian Kingdom.
Originally, Shushan and Xuanjian Kingdom were on the same level as each other, and the two sides had never had much contact with each other. However, when Taoist Yan suddenly retreated, he was most likely preparing to break through to the eighth realm. At that time, he would probably have to compete with the Sword Emperor of the West Sea.
Although the people of the Xuanjian Kingdom have great confidence in their own Sword Emperor, it is inevitable to be wary of Taoist Yan. This hostility will naturally be transferred to the Shushan disciples.
Therefore, when it came to the battle for hegemony among the hundreds of sects, the two sides would inevitably have a collision, so Wang Xuanling brought his disciples to observe the enemy's situation in advance.
Yesterday, the Xuanjian Kingdom encountered a fish belly sect, which did not display any magical powers. Several disciples ended the game with just one or two sword energy, which had almost no research value.
I hope that today's Riyuelou can create something for Shushan.
…
boom--
When Yin Kuo was blasted off the field by a sky-high sword, Mr. Yin's face was slightly gloomy, but he just sighed: "Skills are not as good as others, and that's how far we've come."
Yin Guang, who played first, and Yin Kuo, who played one after another, both suffered clean defeats. It stands to reason that the cultivation of the two of them is definitely not weak, and they are even slightly stronger than their opponents.
However, the two disciples of the Xuanjian Kingdom were so strong in swordsmanship that they completely bridged the gap in their swordsmanship with their sword energy. Chu Liang could feel the familiar Jueyun Daoyun from their swords, and these disciples actually understood that trace of Daoyun.
Definitely a strong rival.
When the people from the Hanging Sword Kingdom left, they all glanced at Shushan, and their eyes did contain hostility.
But everyone in Shushan is used to it, especially Chu Liang. Yesterday, he was stared at several times. It was because he had too many lice and he was not afraid of being bitten.
It was actually quite a pity that the people from the Sun Moon Tower left the scene sadly.
With this configuration, they would definitely be able to enter the Hundred Gates Competition in the past, but they would inevitably be unlucky if they encountered a strong enemy too early.
Before Mr. Yin left, he gave Chu Liang a meaningful look and said with a smile: "Young Master Chu, we will meet again later."
When Chu Liang was in Mangbelly City, he felt that the old man was a little strange and seemed to be hiding some secret. But he didn't say it clearly, and he couldn't ask any more questions. He immediately said: "See you later."
In the evening, it was the second prince's banquet.
Tianjie Wangxian Tower is also a well-known restaurant in Yudu City. Although it is slightly inferior to the famous chefs in the world, its standards are definitely high enough. It was originally in Jiang Yuebai's notebook, and Chu Liang also asked her if she wanted to come together.
Jiang Yuebai shook his head and said, "They didn't invite me, so what should I do?"
"Calm her my female companion." Chu Liang smiled.
Jiang Yuebai gave him a beautiful and refined eye roll.
At this time of night, Tianjie is bustling and noisy, with fish and dragons dancing all along the road. The second prince booked the best room on the top floor of Wangxian Tower. When he opened the window, he could see most of the brightly lit Yudu City.
When Chu Liang arrived, only a few waiters and the second prince himself were here, and the other guests had not arrived yet.
The second prince was dressed in brocade casual clothes and still looked handsome. He went downstairs to greet him in person: "Young Master Chu, we said goodbye last time in the palace. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Haha, the second prince looks even better." Chu Liang also smiled.
I have to say that from what I have seen so far, these two princes seem to be quite good at life. It seems that they are familiar with "Emotional Intelligence" in the palace.
They exchanged pleasantries all the way upstairs. They both wanted to get closer, so they naturally had a great time talking. The second prince also revealed that there were not many guests at today's banquet, only a few people who were familiar with him.
Zhang Chen from Shenglong Academy, Feng Lei from Chonglou Temple, Shen Qingyan from Nanyinfang...
Chu Liang understood immediately upon hearing this. Both Shenglong Academy and Chonglou Temple were local practitioners in Yudu. They must have been familiar with the second prince, so there was no need to specially invite him to this meal.
This guy set up this banquet just to treat Miss Shen from Nanyinfang to herself!
As for the disciples from Shenglong Academy and Chonglou Temple, they were obviously afraid of the embarrassment and invited them to sit with him. No wonder he was so anxious to book a banquet with famous chefs all over the world.
It turned out that he wanted to use the exquisite banquet to please the girl.
hehe.
People of the same ideals belong to yes.
Thinking of this, Chu Liang looked at the second prince with some sympathy.
As for this place, it was naturally his second choice after failing to book the exquisite banquet. Chu Liang was also afraid of conflicts, so he quickly invited an extra person temporarily, which was equivalent to a way to apologize.
After clarifying the relationship in this way, Chu Liang relaxed a lot. I am not the protagonist tonight, I just want to watch the second prince's performance with peace of mind.
He sat in an inconspicuous corner by the table.
"Young Master Chu." The second prince said hurriedly: "You are still my elder, how can you be there? Come and take a seat at the head of the table."
Chu Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are treating us today, how can I overshadow the guest? Since the people you are inviting today are all disciples of the Immortal Sect, don't talk about the palace rules."
The second prince agreed with a smile. As soon as he sat down, the waiter announced that two girls from Nanyinfang had arrived.
"Here? Young Master Chu, please sit down for a moment. I'll pick them up first." The second prince rushed up and went downstairs to pick up the two girls ten times faster than he had just picked up Chu Liang.
Chu Liang looked amused. When he was sitting alone in the banquet hall, he suddenly felt a heat in his arms and an inexplicable throbbing feeling.
Huh?
He rummaged around and found that it was not a communication instrument, but the half of the jade pendant with the word "Chen" that had been pressed in the storage instrument for a long time. It suddenly started to heat up and glowed faintly.
This jade pendant was obtained when the Shen family abandoned the garden. He didn't know what it was used for. He kept it in his arms based on the principle of not wasting it. Who knows why there was a sudden change today?
Just as he was wondering, he heard the voice of the second prince, "Only Young Master Chu from Shushan arrived first, do you two recognize him?"
"Chu Liang? I recognize him." There was another clear voice.
As soon as I looked up, I saw two girls entering the door first.
The one on the left is wearing an aqua blue dress, with fair skin, tall and tall figure, and is the Xue Lingxue whom she was familiar with before.
The one on the right is wearing a light red skirt, her face is as white as jade, her eyebrows and facial features are outlined in ink, and her eyes are like mist, with a dense aura.
It's like a rich ink painting.
Xue Lingxue is already a stunning beauty in the world, but when she stands next to this girl, she is always ignored at first glance.
The most surprising thing is that when Chu Liang saw this woman, the throbbing from the jade pendant became more intense.
The woman seemed to have the same feeling. She glanced over, looked at Chu Liang, her eyes sparkled, and walked over.
"Oh, it's rare for the two girls to be invited to come out." The second prince then stepped in, "Since Miss Xue and Young Master Chu are old acquaintances, you will sit with him, and Miss Shen will sit with me... hmm?"
He had made good arrangements here, and he wanted to push Xue Lingxue away and bring himself and Shen Qingyan closer, but before he finished speaking, he saw both girls sitting down.
Xue Lingxue knew what he meant, so she also sat next to Chu Liang. But Shen Qingyan didn't know why, but she sat on the other side of Chu Liang very naturally, and kept looking at Chu Liang.
The three of them gathered in a pile in the corner, and his seat suddenly seemed extremely empty.
Even a little... redundant.
Good morning.
