The banquet in Taishi Mansion was held in the spacious martial arts arena. There was a blazing bonfire, lanterns and colorful lanterns, and maids in colorful clothes moved smoothly between the wine tables, placing various delicacies on them.
Taishi Xingyuan's retinue was surrounded by a group of people in rich and colorful clothes. They seemed to be discussing something important. Several of them laughed together.
That retinue, Chu Yiyi had met, was named Ling Li, and he was highly regarded by Taishi Xingyuan.
After Ling Li caught a glimpse of Chu Yiliu from the corner of his eye, he quickly got out of the crowd, walked over, cupped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, you are here."
Today, his attitude towards Chu Yiliu was extremely polite, which even Chu Yiliu felt a little surprised.
All the dignitaries and dignitaries around were even more surprised, and they all whispered: "Who is this person?"
"Are you a descendant of any aristocratic family?"
"Maybe he's from the Imperial City."
Everyone speculated that after all, most of the big shots like them had never heard of what happened in the Jubao Pavilion a few days ago.
Chu Yiliu said with a smile: "Senior Ling, you can just call me Yiliu. The young master is older than the young master, but I am not used to it."
Ling Li waved his hand and said, "You have to learn to get used to it."
"Huh?" Chu Yiyi was a little surprised, and chuckled: "Why do I, an unknown young man, know this kind of young master's posture?"
Ling Li gave him a mysterious smile and said, "You will know later. I will lead you to your seat first."
"trouble."
Ling Li led the way and took Chu Yiyi and others to the seat closest to Taishi Xingyuan's seat. The expressions on the faces of the dignitaries around him became even more surprised.
Being able to sit in the upper seat must be someone who is highly valued by Taishi Xingyuan. However, most of them have never met Chu Yiliu.
"This is arranged by the master. Please stay here for a moment. The master will be here soon." Ling Li nodded, turned around and retreated.
Xie Changliu looked at his leaving figure and said with a smile: "You are top-notch. I didn't expect that Senior Taishi values you very much."
"Maybe." Chu Yiliu shook his head, maybe it was because of the ancient elixir recipe.
While the master and disciples were talking, the place suddenly became quiet.
Taishi Xingyuan walked over among the crowd of soldiers. He had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood recently. When he saw Chu Yiliu, he even nodded.
Chu Yiliu returned the favor with a smile.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Taishi Xingyuan laughed loudly and motioned for everyone to take a seat.
After Chu Yiliu sat down, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze falling on him. He frowned slightly, raised his head, and met Luo Xin's gaze.
It's him!
Chu Yiliu still had some impression of Luo Xin. He was defeated by him in Canghai Academy because of alchemy. He didn't expect that he would be here today. They were really enemies.
A cold light appeared in Luo Xin's eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up coldly. There were Chen Ke and several others beside him. Without exception, they were all defeated by his own men. They must have formed a team to take revenge today.
Chu Yiliu smiled back, took a sip of tea, and thought to himself: I have been waiting for you for so long, and you are here at the right time.
At the same time, another unkind look fell on Chu Yiliu, and it was indeed Mu Hongbo's.
He didn't expect that a group of humble guys like Chu Yiliu and his disciples could sit in the upper seat, higher than him! He was filled with anger in his heart, but he didn't notice that the two sons beside him gave Chu Yiliu a fearful look and said obediently
Sitting at the table, like a good baby.
Taishi Xingyuan said loudly: "I would like to thank you all for being able to attend my birthday banquet. Please raise a glass with me and have a drink!"
He picked up the wine glass and said loudly.
There were compliments all around, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.
After a while, Ling Li clapped his hands, and a group of beauties came forward to dance. Their movements were graceful and graceful, which was pleasing to the eye.
After the beautiful lady danced, a group of young beast-fighting boys came up. They were strong and strong, fighting with the beasts and full of strength.
After performing together, the host and guest had a great time.
Taishi Xingyuan looked at Chu Yiliu and said with a smile: "Let me introduce someone to you."
He stretched out his hand to signal Chu Yiliu, and everyone looked in the direction he indicated.
"This little brother I got to know recently. He is very accomplished in the art of alchemy. I am impressed by him. He is the man who has been able to produce talents for generations. He is replacing the old with a new generation."
Everyone's faces showed surprise and doubt, they didn't expect that Taishi Xingyuan had such a high opinion of Chu Yiliang.
Chu Yiliu immediately stood up and said: "Senior Taishi, you are so grateful. In front of you, Chu Yiliu is just a grain of light. How dare you compete with the bright moon?"
"Haha, Yi Yi Yi is too humble." Taishi Xingyuan laughed loudly, obviously flattered by Chu Yi Yi Yi's words, saying that he felt deep in his heart and was very happy.
At this time, Mu Hongbo suddenly said: "Senior Taishi, since little brother Chu is so good, why not let him show us his skills?"
Everyone's eyes were bright, seeing is believing. Most people present did not know Chu Yiliu, so they also wanted to see what was so special about this boy who was favored by Taishi Xingyuan.
Taishi Xingyuan smiled and said: "Then it depends on the meaning of first-class."
Chu Yiliu frowned slightly. It seemed that Mu Hongbo was deliberately trying to cause trouble for him. He immediately shook his head and said: "First-class vulgar skills are not enough to attract everyone's attention, so it is better not to show them to embarrass people."
Mu Hongbo's eyes moved slightly, a cold look flashed through his eyes, and he said in a neutral tone: "What? Little Brother Chu, do you think that we people are not worthy of taking a look at your unique skills?"
The heart-breaking words instantly pointed everyone's finger at Chu Yiliu.
Mu Hongbo secretly laughed in his heart: You brat, you dare to fight with me. He looked at Xie Qingyi, who was at the same table as Chu Yiliu, and said loudly: "After all, your master and I are also old friends."
Is it now time to start getting close?
Taishi Xingyuan said curiously: "It turns out that Uncle Hong knew a first-class master and apprentice. What a coincidence."
"I know a little bit about it," Mu Hongbo said with a smile. He wanted to reveal Chu Yiyi's humble status as master and disciple and make everyone despise him.
However, at this time, Chu Yiliu raised his eyebrows, looked at Xie Qingyi doubtfully and said, "Master, why have I never heard you say that you know Master Mu?"
Xie Qingyi lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "Which Master Mu? I know people with the surname of gold, people with the surname of earth, people with the surname of water, people with the surname of fire, but I don't know the one with the surname of wood."
When they went to Mu's house, they were kicked out by Mu Hongbo. Xie Qingyi had already severed ties with Mu Hongbo. Now he wanted to get close to them? There was no way.
Chu Yiliu raised a smile on his lips, looked at Mu Hongbo, and said apologetically: "Master Mu, I'm sorry, my master doesn't know you. Maybe you got the wrong person."
The dignitaries and dignitaries around looked at Mu Hongbo in surprise. They wanted to get close to him, but were rejected thousands of miles away. You are also a respectable person, why are you so shameless?
Mu Hongbo's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
The housekeeper Mu Yu behind him said loudly: "That's nonsense, brat, have you forgotten what happened when you went to Mu's house and was kicked out? It was only a few days ago. You shouldn't forget it so quickly."
"
"What?"
"Kicked out?"
Everyone around them had expressions of surprise on their faces, and puzzled glances circulated between Chu Yiliu, Mu Hongbo and others.
Mu Yu had a look of pride on his face and said in a cold voice: "A bereaved dog, sitting in the banquet of Senior Taishi like a human being, can he be superior to others?"
Taishi Xingyuan had a slightly displeased look on his face. Chu Yiyili was his guest, and Mu Yu was just a servant. It would be disrespectful to him to dare to talk to his guest like this. Moreover, he had deliberately flattered Chu before.
The first few words are just for the purpose of recruiting disciples in the future.
Now Mu Yu tramples Chu Yiliu under his feet and calls him a lost dog. How can he accept a disciple?
Chu Yiliu immediately smiled and said with neither humility nor arrogance: "What a lost dog? Is this what Master Mu meant?"
Mu Yu looked proud.
"You are so brave!" Chu Yiliu suddenly shouted, causing Mu Yu's face to change suddenly. He scolded in a deep voice: "Chu is a lost dog. It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. So what does it mean for all the seniors here to sit with me?
?Could it be that in the words of Mr. Mu Guanjia, all of you here are just like me, pigs and dogs?"
"Does it mean that in your eyes, Senior Taishi has such a low opinion? You can only like pigs and dogs?"
He glared at Mu Yu fiercely, and his whole body was full of momentum. Mu Yu's face instantly turned pale, and he hurriedly explained: "No...that's not the case."
"You kid...are trying to hurt me." Mu Yu growled sharply.
"Presumptuous!" Taishi Xingyuan's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "Take him down here!"
Who is Mu Yu who dares to humiliate him at his dinner party? Taishi Xingyuan glanced at Mu Hongbo unkindly.
Here, Mu Hongbo is his junior!
Mu Yu immediately shouted: "Master, please save me." He pulled Mu Hongbo's sleeves tightly and his voice was shrill.
Mu Hongbo waved his sleeve away and said in a cold voice: "Get out of there yet."
He turned around and looked at Taishi Xingyuan with an apologetic look on his face, and immediately said: "Senior Taishi, this servant is too incompetent to speak. Please be a little more tolerant."
"Humph." Taishi Xingyuan snorted coldly.
Chu Yiliu raised his brows and said with a smile: "Senior Taishi, you really need to be open-minded. After all, not everyone has your eye for discerning pearls."
He glanced at Mu Hongbo from the corner of his eye, which was actually mocking Mu Hongbo for being blind. Mu Hongbo was furious in his heart, but he did not dare to show it.
The anger on Taishi Xingyuan's face gradually disappeared and he said: "Since you, First Class, have spoken, I will turn over this slave once."
"Thank you, senior." Chu Yiliu said calmly.
"Thank you, senior." Mu Hongbo shouted loudly.
Everyone continued the banquet, but something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Luo Xin immediately stood up and said: "Uncle Taishi, the young talents who came today are all famous talents in Donghai Mansion. How about we compete with each other to cheer you up?"
Chu Yiliu's heart moved slightly, and he thought to himself: Okay, just as the troublemaker left, the troublemaker came again.
