After the old man of the Zhan family spoke, the atmosphere took a turn for the worse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Cheng Qi was afraid that Cheng Qingjia would say the wrong thing, so he quickly smiled to smooth things over.
"Third Miss, please calm down. My nephew doesn't know how to adapt. I will advise him now."
He opened his mouth to speak, but saw Cheng Qingjia gently shaking her head towards him.
Cheng Qingjia looked directly at Zhan Yingluo, "It's not impossible to agree to the Third Miss, but I, the monks of the Cheng family, always advance and retreat together. If the Third Miss wants me to go with you, why don't you bring our team with you."
"You have a good idea, but with your team, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with me."
The Zhan family is far more powerful than the Cheng family, and Zhan Yingluo's team also has a golden elixir cultivator, who has superior strength.
This sentence may seem arrogant, but when she said it, it actually felt reasonable.
None of the Cheng family monks, including Cheng Qi and Tang Chuan, felt there was anything wrong with what the other party said.
"If Third Miss doesn't want to, please don't mention this matter again. I won't leave the team easily."
Cheng Qingjia felt a little relieved, thinking that the other party would just give up, but Zhan Yingluo suddenly smiled.
She looks bright and flamboyant, and her smile is as dazzling as a pearl that cannot be looked directly at.
"Can."
Cheng Qingjia was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly. Cheng Qi also found it incredible.
Given Miss Zhan San's status, not only did her nephew's words not offend anyone, she actually agreed to this somewhat excessive request.
"Let's go."
Zhan Yingluo was a stickler for her words, so she stepped onto the Zhan family's Yunzhou without leaving any time for others to react.
Cheng Qingjia and the others were left looking at each other in confusion for a while, and finally Cheng Qi coughed lightly.
"Since Miss Zhan San agrees, let's take a ride on the Zhan family's Yunzhou."
Only then did everyone take steps towards Yun Zhou.
The Zhan family's Yunzhou is grand and gorgeous, and it has all kinds of formations inside. It flies steadily and quickly, which is much better than the Cheng family's Yunzhou that has been used for hundreds of years.
Even Xu Chunniang was assigned to a separate room, which included spirit gathering arrays, soundproofing arrays and other formations.
She glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, took out a blank piece of bone, and used her spiritual consciousness to record the formation experience of the past few days on it.
About two hours later, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, the banquet is about to begin. The third lady invites you."
"OK."
Xu Chunniang had already received the news of the banquet, so she responded and followed the guidance of outsiders to the vast banquet table on the second floor of Yunzhou.
Zhan Yingluo and those Jindan monks surnamed Zhao were in the main seat. Cheng Qingjia was placed in the first position on the lower left side of her. The others tacitly sat down according to the order of cultivation.
Xu Chunniang's perfect foundation-building skills are deeply valued in the Cheng family.
However, there are many golden elixir cultivators in the Zhan family, so it is not surprising that the foundation building is complete.
Her position is not bad, she is in the middle of the banquet table, adjacent to Tang Chuan, who is of similar cultivation.
She didn't care at all about this arrangement.
This banquet was organized by Zhan Yingluo for Cheng Qingjia, and the others were just foils.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhan Yingluo gestured to the left and right, and the attendants took out the delicacies and spirits that had been prepared and served them to them one by one.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the spiritual food on the banquet table and sighed in her heart at the Zhan family's wealth.
These fresh spiritual fruits, which are rarely seen in ordinary times, are not like spiritual stones that are placed on the banquet table for people to take at will.
"This is... red blood dragon meat!"
Tang Chuan saw the beautifully arranged spiritual food in front of him and took a breath after recognizing it.
This red-blooded dragon is the famous ferocious dragon on the five southern islands.
The red-blooded dragon has a cultivation level at the Golden Core stage. Not only is his body strong, but his innate water magic power cannot be underestimated.
Idle monks of the same level are no match for it.
But for the Zhan family, it is just a dish at the banquet.
"Cosmecia fruit, purple jade belt..."
Tang Chuan glanced at the dishes next to him, feeling even more shocked inside.
Although these two spiritual objects are not as precious as the red blood dragon flesh, they are equally valuable.
Tang Chuan has been in the Cheng family for many years and has only tasted purple jade belt a few times.
As for the woody fruit, this was the first time I saw it in my life.
He stopped talking and concentrated on enjoying the feast.
Xu Chunniang's eyes fell on the plate of red blood dragon meat, and she felt the spiritual energy contained in it. However, she did not move her chopsticks. She only picked up a pearl-sized woody fruit and looked at it carefully.
This woody fruit is light green in color and exudes a refreshing and strange aroma.
Although it is a second-level spiritual fruit, its value has always been high due to its rarity.
Xu Chunniang had seen a description of this woody fruit on the third floor of the Cheng family library.
The conditions for its growth are very harsh and it has extremely high environmental requirements. It can only survive in a place with a single wood aura.
Moreover, the concentration of wood spirit energy must reach the extreme level to have the opportunity to ripen the wood vanilla and produce this woody fruit with a strange aroma.
Because she felt that the place where the woody fruit grew was most likely the Wood's End, she paid more attention to it.
Seeing that the people of the Cheng family were shocked by the spiritual objects on the banquet, a look of pride flashed on the face of the old man who stood behind Zhan Yingluo.
"This woody fruit was sent back by my second lady from Penglai Immortal Island. Not everyone in the Zhan family is qualified to enjoy it."
Everyone in the Cheng family couldn't help but be in an uproar, "Is the second young lady the one who has outstanding talent since childhood and was personally taken to Penglai Immortal Island?"
"I heard that when she was born, she caused a strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth. There were seven-colored auspicious clouds holding up the moon, which shocked the Penglai Fairy Island!"
"The conditions for recruiting disciples in Penglai Immortal Island are very stringent, allowing them to take the initiative to recruit them. This shows that the second lady's talent is astonishing!"
Xu Chunniang listened carefully. She had only been in Nansha Island for a short time, and this was the first time she had heard of such things.
After everyone had finished talking, Zhan Yingluo spoke calmly.
"Yes, this woody fruit was sent back by my sister a few days ago. She broke through the golden elixir a while ago and obtained it while practicing in the sect's secret realm."
"Breaking through the golden elixir? I remember Miss Zhan Er, she is only eighty years old this year, right?"
"Eighty-year-old Jin Dan, hiss... I can't even imagine it!"
Everyone in the Cheng family said with emotion that Miss Zhan Er was a true darling girl from heaven. She was born in a wealthy family and had entered the Penglai Fairy Island. She had a bright future.
Cheng Qi couldn't help but have his thoughts wandering and looked at his nephew frequently.
Miss Zhan Er has her back on the Penglai Immortal Island. She has acquired the golden elixir at such a young age, and it is almost certain that she will become a Nascent Soul in the future.
It's rare for my nephew to win Zhan Yingluo's favor and get close to the big tree of the Zhan family. Wouldn't the Cheng family's crisis be easily solved?
Cheng Qingjia felt helpless in her heart after receiving Uncle Qi's hint.
On the one hand, he really has no idea about Miss Zhan San, but on the other hand, it is also an indisputable fact that the Cheng family is deteriorating.
