Chapter 2051: Chapter 2051 Outdoor Banquet
Feng Chen expressed his regret briefly, then pretended to be generous, "It’s alright. I understand what you’re going through.
If you ever have anything wrong with Murong Tian, you’re always welcome on our side! Remember to come find me then. I’ll stand up for you no matter what wrongs you’ve suffered."
"Well then, thank you in advance!" Ye Liuyun replied in a nonchalant manner before sending him off.
When they returned to the living room, Azure tried to remind, "Seems like this Feng Chen is on the same boat as Murong Tian?"
"What? How did you figure that out?" Ye Liuyun was surprised.
Despite having less information than him, she was able to reach this conclusion.
"He appeared to be sincere and emotional when he spoke, but his eyes didn’t match his expressions. He wasn’t speaking from his heart. He was lying!"
"Amazing! You really have a sharp eye for reading people!" Ye Liuyun complimented.
"Not at all! Hua Xiangyuan also has a knack for understanding people!"
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately invited Hua Xiangyuan to join them.
"You two can keep each other company, get some fresh air. If anyone comes, you can help me keep an eye on them."
"Sounds good! I can serve you for once, so you can enjoy a little!" Hua Xiangyuan happily agreed. She hadn’t been out for a while and was delighted at the opportunity.
She and her sister had been well cared for in his spatial world, always remembered in his distribution of resources. They were never regarded as outsiders, and she wished to help him in return.
Without wasting much time, he immediately resumed cultivation.
Hua Xiangyuan and Azure began chatting. Coming from a brothel, they had much in common.
Liger lingered everywhere, while taking naps and guarding the other courtyard.
With the ladies helping him deal with matters outside, Ye Liuyun didn’t have to worry at all.
When it was time to hand out the elixir, Ye Liuyun, along with Lin Luoyi and Lin Xiuyao, went ahead to master alchemy techniques. After returning from training, he began to cultivate immediately.
But each time he learned quickly, which made Lin Xiuyao endlessly complain.
"I practice every day, but I can’t catch up with him!"
Lin Luoyi could only console her, "He’s just being nifty, only able to bluff some of the time! Alchemy is all about practice makes perfect.
He’s not dedicated to this path in the first place. If he wants to be an Alchemist like you, he would have to refine elixir every day. Otherwise, Jin Qingsong will see through his opportunism sooner or later."
Azure thoughtfully came to remind Ye Liuyun when it was time for the banquet.
"Li Jian is already waiting outside. He was too scared of the Liger to come in!" She told him with a laugh.
"What did you give him last time that got him so enthusiastic?"
"Mostly the elixirs that Luoyi discarded!"
"Well, that’s good enough for him. Those are probably around seventh-tier!"
Hua Xiangyuan, however, was helping Ye Liuyun design clothing styles, instructing him to change into gilded armor accordingly. After helping Ye Liuyun dress up, only then did she let him out.
Li Jian greeted him ardently and led the way.
"Finally, we can meet the first sacred disciple of the Sect! Who did he invite?" Ye Liuyun asked Li Jian.
"All ten sacred disciples will all be present, as well as some of the other strong or well-connected disciples from the Sect. They’re all on the invitation list. There are over three hundred people!"
"Is Feng Chen also invited?"
"Murong Tian will always invite him out of politeness, just that he usually barely gets any attention during the banquet. He would also be wise enough to speak less."
"Oh," Ye Liuyun nodded, saying nothing more.
He felt that there must be more to Murong Tian’s repeated invitations to Feng Chen than simple politeness.
Ye Liuyun had previously wanted to imprint a Slaving Seal on Feng Chen but feared that he had already been imprinted by someone else or signed a master-servant contract, so he did not dare to take action.
When Ye Liuyun arrived, he found out that the first sacred disciple had his own mountain, where the banquet was taking place outdoors.
"An outdoor banquet? That’s quite novel! If the food isn’t enough, I can grill myself some beast meat!" Ye Liuyun approved of this format.
"How could his banquet ever be lacking food! Being the Sect’s first sacred disciple is very profitable!
Many people always come bearing gifts, when its seeking favours or any special occasions. Anyone who dare to offend him would have to pay heavier!" Li Jian explained through voice transmission.
He dared not speak this directly, fearing others might overhear and hold him to account. That would make him pay a huge price.
If he doesn’t have enough money or resources to appease his anger, then his position as a sacred disciple would be at stake.
Li Jian was originally quite wealthy, but he insisted on spending money to feel the superior status as a sacred disciple. But from Ye Liuyun’s plundering last time, he was now so broke that he couldn’t afford better resources.
Ye Liuyun nodded and kept a low-profile, as they hiked up the mountain. At the bottom of the mountain, there were 2 maids checking the guests’ invitations. Ordinary disciples had no opportunity to get close to the sacred disciple.
Ye Liuyun released his divine sense and found no shortage of maids and servants on this mountain, at least more than thirty or so that he could see.
"Murong Tian sure has lots of maids and servants, doesn’t he?" Ye Liuyun asked Li Jian.
"These are all resource-poor disciples who just come here to earn a bit of money. Murong Tian often throws parties like this, so he frequently needs more manpower. It’s not usually this full of maids and servants here." Li Jian seemed to know a lot about all this.
By the time they arrived, nearly half of the seats on the mountain were occupied, but Murong Tian hadn’t made his appearance yet.
Ye Liuyun took a glance at the strength of these individuals. They could really be considered as elites among the younger generation.
It’s undeniable that the cultivation talent of their disciples was quite strong.
Li Jian could only be ranked upper-middle within this group. It seems he was quite self-aware and knew that his title was entirely bought with money, which could only deceive those newly initiated junior sister disciples.
Each sacred disciple had their own reserved seat, and they could each bring a person to sit with them. Naturally, Ye Liuyun sat with Li Jian.
The third and fourth sacred disciples, who were imprinted as slaves by Ye Liuyun, were also present. They only knew that Chen Feng was Ye Liuyun’s agent, so they came to greet him.
Three of them greeting a novice disciple at the same time immediately caught some people’s attention.
Li Xingrou was chatting with several female disciples. Seeing this situation, she also became curious about Ye Liuyun and immediately walked towards him.
