Chapter 2416 Wishing to Guard This Scene
"I hope Senior White can make it in time for the annual meeting," Song Shuhang said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword chimed in, "No need to worry, even if Senior White isn't here, as long as you're here, Shuhang, the Su Clan's annual meeting will definitely be safe."
Song Shuhang was confused.
Su Clan's Seven, who was behind him, burst into laughter, instantly understanding the situation.
After conducting some research in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, they had noticed a pattern. Whenever Senior White and Song Shuhang teamed up for an adventure, the process would be remarkably smooth and trouble-free.
"Oh, Shuhang, Seven, Little Sixteen, you've finally arrived," the voice of Thrice Reckless Mad Saber sounded from behind.
Su Clan's Sixteen turned her head and saw Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber holding a large wine jar that emitted a rich fragrance.
Su Clan's Seven took a whiff and let out a satisfying sigh. "Where did this wine come from?"
The Spirit River Su Clan had never encountered this type of wine before, so it seemed that Thrice Reckless Mad Saber had brought it from elsewhere.
"It's Copper Trigram. He acquired this fine wine from that mysterious island. He might come later, so he asked me to bring the wine over first," Thrice Reckless Mad Saber patted the wine jar. "Let's go inside. Most of the fellow Daoists from the group are already here."
Su Clan's Seven took a step forward and pushed open the courtyard's large gate.
Behind the gate lay an expansive classical courtyard.
There were pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water.
Bamboo rafts drifted on the lake, and plum blossoms bloomed on the shore.
Every detail in the courtyard showcased the Spirit River Su Clan's opulence and wealth!
Most members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were gathered in the central pavilion on the lake.
A melodious tune emanated from Dharma King Creation, who sat on the railing with an ancient zither resting on his knees. The harmonious melody flowed from his fingertips. Dharma King Creation excelled in lyrics, composition, and musical instruments. As long as he didn't speak, he was a grandmaster in the world of music.
Fairy Susu and Fellow Daoist Celestial Guest Cloudsoar, who had just emerged from seclusion this year, held a pipa and played a flute to accompany Dharma King Creation.
On the bamboo raft in the middle of the lake, Fairy Dongfang Six wore a red immortal robe, while Fairy Lychee donned a light blue immortal robe. The two fairies danced barefoot on the bamboo raft, graceful and enchanting.
The scenery was picturesque, the fairies were captivating, and it was a sight to behold.
In the small bamboo pavilion by the lake, True Monarch Eternal Fire composed poems on the couplets hanging from the wall. Each stroke was like a sword, and each word held the artistic concept of rebirth. This portrayed the recent resurgence of the scholarly faction!
Fairy Dongfang Quiet Snow hung couplets for True Monarch Eternal Fire beside him. She resembled a young lady from a wealthy family. True Monarch Eternal Fire had promised to write ten different character styles for her after completing the required couplets for the day. It was a new song composed by Fairy Dongfang Snow for True Monarch Yellow Mountain, and its artistic concept was certainly on par with the 'Song of the Stupid Yellow Mountain.'
Venerable Yellow Mountain and Northern River's Loose Cultivator played chess with chess pieces in hand.
Medicine Master and Riverly Purple Mist leaned against each other, and the plum blossoms by their side were exceptionally vibrant.
Venerable Nuclear Explosion, Scholar Xian Gong, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman, and Cave Lord Snow Wolf raised their glasses and toasted while laughing heartily.
The fairy-like white crane, dressed in a neutral purple Daoist robe, smiled as she poured wine for the fellow Daoists in the group. Her mood was excellent because she had heard that Senior White would be attending the annual meeting today.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer lay lazily on the roof of the building. The two cat ears on his head swayed gently.
Beside him was Doudou, who was constantly chattering about various things. Doudou shared its recent troubles with Young Master Phoenix Slayer, such as how Stupid Yellow Mountain had prepared an immortal cave for it and wanted it to venture out on its own.
The things that couldn't be obtained were often the best. In the past, Doudou had been closely guarded by Stupid Yellow Mountain and wasn't allowed to go out freely. As a result, it would often run away from home secretly. But now, it was about to venture out on its own, and no one would stop it anymore. It should have been the day it had dreamed of, but as it approached, it felt an emptiness inside.
On the small bridge, Shi, Zhu, and Cherry ran around, laughing heartily...
After Song Shuhang and Su Clan's Sixteen entered the courtyard, a warm smile appeared on their faces beneath their masks.
When the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group gathered together, there was a comforting atmosphere. There were no conflicts, and regardless of their backgrounds, the relationships among the group members were surprisingly harmonious.
Song Shuhang was grateful that his introduction to the path of cultivation had been through the Nine Provinces Number One Group. In the vast world, finding a group like the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group was exceedingly rare. Perhaps there would never be another group like this.
It was precisely this unique group of seniors that had shaped the current Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
"Would you like a drink, Shuhang?" Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman called out upon seeing Song Shuhang's arrival. Even though he wore a mask, the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were all too familiar with Song Shuhang and could recognize him at a glance.
"Do you drink?" Su Clan's Seven inquired.
"Under normal circumstances, having a few drinks is fine," Song Shuhang replied.
He was already an adult, so he could have a few cups in moderation. However, the issue was that he was currently in a primordial spirit state. If he truly wanted to drink, he would have to transfer the wine to the main body of the artificial small world through the Inner World and let the main body taste it.
"In that case, let's have a few drinks," Su Clan's Seven said. He took the lead and brought him to the side of their drinking companions.
"Senior Thrice Reckless, allow me to pour you some wine," Su Clan's Sixteen offered while turning to Thrice Reckless Mad Saber and reaching out to receive the jar.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber handed the wine jar to Su Clan's Sixteen and winked at her, "Tell young friend Shuhang to drink more. Last time, he left the banquet halfway to pick you up. This time, you must make up for it."
Su Clan's Sixteen was speechless.
"Haha," Thrice Reckless Mad Saber laughed heartily and, together with Su Clan's Seven and Song Shuhang, sat down beside Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.
True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon handed them wine cups.
Su Clan's Sixteen came over with the wine jar in her arms and took on the task of pouring wine, replacing True Monarch White Crane. She filled everyone's cups.
"Cheers to the Su Clan's annual meeting," Scholar Xian Gong said, his face flushed as he laughed heartily.
Song Shuhang's primordial spirit raised his wine cup, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
At this point, he couldn't stop the seniors from enjoying themselves, so he lifted his mask slightly, and his primordial spirit made a 'drinking' gesture.
In fact, all the fine wine had been transferred to his Inner World and stored there.
His main body was still in seclusion, so he couldn't drink it even if he wanted to.
Although he couldn't taste the wine, his primordial spirit could smell the rich wine fragrance.
Song Shuhang raised his wine cup and looked at the seniors beside him. Then, he looked at Su Clan's Sixteen behind him, the fairy dancing in the lake, Phoenix Slayer, Doudou, Senior Yellow Mountain, and Senior Northern River in the distant pavilion.
This scene calmed everyone's hearts.
Song Shuhang didn't even want to make a sound at this moment. He was afraid of ruining this picturesque scene.
On the other side, in Patriarch Rope's cave abode.
Soft Feather stretched out her hand and picked up Lady Onion and Hamster Number One.
"It's about time. Let's go find Senior Song."
She placed Lady Onion and Hamster Number One on her shoulder and walked out of the cave abode with elegant and ladylike steps.
