Yang Tiansheng chuckled, shaking his head. "What mule? Wei Xin is our Ming Sect’s next carefree Left Envoy..."
The three of them dragged him over to the table and pushed him into a seat.
As soon as he sat down, Yang Tiansheng, who couldn’t wait any longer, asked, "Didn’t everyone say you went back to your hometown in the southwest to live in seclusion? Why go to Mount Longhu?"
"What’s it to you why I go to Mount Longhu?"
Yang Ge replied with an annoyed laugh, "Also, where my hometown is isn’t widely known these days, so don’t go blabbering about it. It’s a small place that can’t withstand much disturbance."
Yang Tiansheng, not at all diverted, continued to stare at him intently and asked, "Is there something going on?"
"Not a damn thing. Can’t I go to see Zhang to have my fortune told?"
Yang Ge cursed with a laugh and took the initiative to pour himself a bowl of wine. "Enough talk, let’s drink..."
The four of them picked up their bowls and downed the wine, and the atmosphere instantly became lively again.
Setting down his bowl, Yang Ge grinned and said, "Xiang, how was sailing out to sea this time? I was thinking you might not return until the second half of the year!"
Xiang Wudi slammed his wine bowl down on the table and exclaimed with great animation, "It was freaking awesome! Back home, I had to deal with all those relatives and old friends with their endless insinuations, thinking twice before doing anything."
"But out at sea, everyone’s a stranger. If someone rubs me the wrong way, I go at them with my spear. If I’m annoyed, I even feel like I could poke a hole in the sky!"
"Wasn’t Luzon Island all high and mighty before? I went there with my spear and fought my way in and out seven times, making those arrogant red-haired devils cry for their mothers. They didn’t dare so much as fart in front of me. In the end, they sent me a ship full of gold and silver, begging me to spare them!"
"If it weren’t just a scouting trip this time and I had enough manpower, I would have conquered Luzon Island and set up my own sect, declaring myself king and lord!"
Yang Ge could see that Xiang had indeed had a great time out there. His body language was so exaggerated that it almost seemed like he was having an argument without words. Where was the reserved man who couldn’t be prodded into speaking more than three words?
"Xiang, you’re awesome!"
Without skimping on praise, Yang Ge raised his bowl and loudly said, "In the five thousand years of our nation’s history, the first outlaw to cross the border and step onto the world stage must definitely be you, Xiang!"
"That’s for sure!"
Xiang Wudi grinned and said, "Nothing beats sharing the joy. I came back early to get the brothers together to conquer the world, divide the land, and have us all become kings!"
"Bullshit!"
Yang Ge laughed and cursed, "How did your ancestor fall? Don’t you have a clue in your heart? You do your thing. It’s a small matter for us to come help if you’re short of hands, but don’t bring up this enfeoffment stuff. Even if Yang and Jin Cheng want to taste what it’s like to be emperors, we can simply find another place. The world is so big, there’s so much to see everywhere. There’s no need for all of us to roll into that tiny Luzon Island and compete."
As he finished speaking, Yang Tiansheng and Li Jincheng both raised their bowls and clinked them with Yang Ge’s, "Little brother (Second brother) is making sense!"
Xiang Wudi, not wanting to give up, pouted, "If you spread out too far, how will we all hang out? We can’t fly around like you; taking a boat is so slow..."
Before he could finish, Yang Tiansheng cut him off, "Be clear when you speak, buddy. Only you two can’t fly, not ’us’!"
As he spoke, with a sly move of his hand, a fiery red Sword Qi, blazing like flames, hovered above the great hall.
Xiang Wudi: (⊙ˍ⊙)
Li Jincheng: (⊙ˍ⊙)

Only Yang Ge, with a grin, raised his bowl in a toast to him, "Congratulations, boss!"
From the moment Yang Ge saw Yang Tiansheng, he could tell that he had broken through the Grandmaster barrier and reached the pinnacle of Grandmasters.
This guy’s martial path is very close to his own, and aside from the fact that the boost from his mental strength to his combat power was not as high as Yang Ge’s, there was not much difference.
This meant that although he was a newly advanced Grandmaster, his fighting strength could already rank in the top three among all the unmatched Grandmasters in the world.
To be precise, beneath the celestial immortals on land, no one in the world could take his life!
Yang Tiansheng lifted his face and arrogantly said, "A mere Grandmaster realm, isn’t that within my grasp?"
"Disrespectful to your elders!"
Xiang Wudi, fuming, pounced on him like a starving tiger, grabbing his neck with both hands and shaking him vigorously. "Such a big deal, and you’ve been drinking without mentioning it?"
Yang Tiansheng struggled, "But you didn’t ask either!"
Li Jincheng also pounced on him, angrily grabbing his neck. "We didn’t ask, but couldn’t you have said something yourself... Ah, Yang Tiansheng, you really deserve to die!"
Yang Tiansheng defended himself, "I was just afraid it would hurt your pride..."
On the side, Yang Ge, sipping from his bowl, suppressed his laughter.
After the roughhousing was over, Xiang Wudi slumped back into his chair, huffed, and gulped down his bowl of wine. Then something suddenly occurred to him. "Right, second brother, as you instructed, I brought back a lot of seeds from Luzon Island on this trip..."
Yang Ge quickly set down his bowl. "Oh? What kind of crops?"
Xiang Wudi: "There’s one that looks like sweet potato called potato, and another that seems like sorghum, but the grain grows around the waist and forms a cob..."
Yang Ge exclaimed in surprise, "Potatoes, corn?"
Xiang Wudi: "Huh?"
Yang Ge gave him a hearty slap on the shoulder, excitedly asking, "Xiang, want to be a marquis in Wei?"
Xiang Wudi: "Huh??"
