Chapter 167: The Banquet Begins
An Ruoxuan said, "Presumably Elder Xu Meng of the Zhongzhou Branch has mentioned to you that there are six martial pavilions in the Immortal Palace, namely the Immortal Sword Tower, the Dao Heart Academy, the Crazy Sword Palace, the Fire Yuan Zhai, the Rejuvenation Hall, and the Lingxian Valley, which correspond to sword cultivation, physical cultivation, sword cultivation, Dan cultivation, medical cultivation, and Dharma cultivation."
"The Sword Pavilion, also known as the Sword Pavilion to the outside world, is the most popular and powerful martial pavilion in the Immortal Palace, and it is also a popular first choice for new disciples. Therefore, the genius boy in the Sword Pavilion is also the most in the entire Immortal Palace! Of course, if you want to go to other martial arts pavilions to study, you can do that, and this is all up to your preference."
"I see, thank you Inspector!" Xue Ning understood a little bit at this time, "By the way, you just said that the admission results have not come out yet, when will it be?"
An Ruoxuan said: "The banquet will end at the earliest, and the top ten disciples in the entrance exam will be eligible to enter the Martial Pavilion, and the unsuccessful disciples can only become ordinary disciples of the Immortal Palace, and I will learn by ***." And you leaders are the most valued geniuses of the Immortal Palace, and you can go straight to the Martial Pavilion, which is the privilege that the Immortal Palace has bestowed upon you."
"What other leaders besides me?" Xue Ning asked curiously.
"In places such as the North, the Great Wilderness, and Xizhou, we have also held primary elections, not only in Zhongzhou."
"In this way, among the disciples enrolled this time, there are not only geniuses from Zhongzhou, but also from other regions."
"Exactly, those who can enter the Immortal Palace are all powerful demons, and you will know in the future."
After Xue Ning heard this, the long-lost blood hit, and being able to practice and learn with so many powerful characters aroused her interest.
"Okay, I've already told you about the specific matters, tomorrow's banquet, enjoy it! Don't forget to bring your uncle with you."
Hearing her mention Xiao Chengfeng again, Xue Ning's heart moved, and she became more and more curious, "Inspector An, how did you and my senior uncle meet?"
After An Ruoxuan heard this, her eyes flashed twice, and a faint shyness appeared on her cheeks, and she said seriously: "Five hundred years ago, I was still an elder in Qingcheng, and I was ordered to eliminate demons, and I was injured by a nine-tailed demon fox, but it was your uncle who saved my life and sent me back to Qingcheng Mountain, so I have always remembered his kindness."
It turned out that Xiao Chengfeng was the life-saving benefactor of the Andu Sect, no wonder there was always a sense of reverence in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Chengfeng.
What about Xiao Chengfeng, what do you think of her?
Xue Ning couldn't help but guess.

The news of Xue Ning's smooth entry into the Immortal Palace immediately spread to the Immortal Sword Tower's chief courtyard.
A disciple of the Sword Pavilion who had gone out to inquire about the news hurriedly walked into the courtyard, bowed his head and said to a handsome young man who was meditating and cultivating, "Chief, the Wei Protector failed, and that girl named Xue Ning still came in, and she was personally introduced by the An Sect Governor."
The handsome young man is the genius of the Ye family, the chief of the Sword Pavilion, Ye Qinghan.
His hand was slowly lowered, spread out on his knees, and slowly opened his eyes, with a cold and piercing cold expression in his eyes.
"I underestimated this woman, and I was able to let An Dujiao personally greet her."
"It's not that she's powerful, it's the men who follow her who are powerful." The other party's eyes seemed to be disdainful
"Oh? Who is it? Isn't the head of Shushan in retreat?"
"It's Xiao Chengfeng." The other lowered his voice.
Hearing Xiao Chengfeng's words, Ye Qinghan's eyes carried a hint of resentment, and he was a little unconvinced.
"It's him!"
To be honest, Ye Qinghan was born with extreme disgust with the three words Xiao Chengfeng.
Since he was born, he has been born with a fairy root spirit bone, and his cultivation speed is different from ordinary people.
Therefore, he has always felt that he is the pride of the sky, and no one in the cultivation realm can compare with his talent.
But he didn't know that there was also Xiao Chengfeng who had already won the title of peerless demon more than a thousand years ago.
So much so that no matter what he does, the seniors around him compare him with Xiao Chengfeng in the past.
He was seventeen years old, and when he broke through the Yuan Infant Stage, he thought that he was the number one genius since ancient times, but he didn't expect that the people in the cultivation realm told him that he was still a cut short of Xiao Chengfeng.
When Xiao Chengfeng was eighteen years old, he was already at the peak of his infancy.
And he is now eighteen years old, and he has finally been promoted to the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage, and those people will say that he is a genius who can be compared to Xiao Chengfeng thousands of years ago.
The three words "Xiao Chengfeng" are not like his example, but more like an obstacle, a mountain of cultivation in front of him.
He wanted to surpass that man countless times and break the record he had ever had, so much so that he wanted to reach the stage of transformation before the age of twenty, breaking the record of Xiao Chengfeng's early stage of transformation at the age of twenty-one.
However, his cultivation seemed to have stagnated, and he could not advance a single cent!
In the past few months, he has practiced day and night, and he has not seen any results, but he heard that there is a female cultivator named Xue Ning in the emperor's capital who has broken his record in Tongtian Pavilion and has become a genius comparable to him.
After hearing this, he became more and more annoyed, and always felt that his genius name was about to be surpassed, and his mood sank to the bottom!
After knowing that the other party was also a disciple of Shushan and Xiao Chengfeng's nephew, his mood was even more complicated.
So much so that his grandfather sent a letter asking him to deal with that Xue Ning, but he didn't want to think about it, so he agreed in one bite.
Xiao Chengfeng and Xue Ning have become thorns in his eyes, thorns in his flesh, and when they think about it, they feel uncomfortable!
What's more, this Xue Ning also hurt his cousin who he had played with since childhood, Li Yan.
Although he hadn't seen Li Yan for many years, his blood was thicker than water, and the Li family was bullied by a wild girl with no family background, so how could he endure this breath?
Isn't this a slap in the face of their Ye clan?
Since Xue Ning dared to come to Yunhai Immortal Palace, he let her know that the nobles of the family were not easy to mess with! He, the chief of the Sword Pavilion, is not a vegetarian either!
"Tomorrow's banquet, you send a few people to meet that Xue Ning and see how strong she is!" Ye Qing commanded in a cold voice.
"Yes, Chief!"
As soon as the other party left the courtyard, behind the screen behind Ye Qinghan, a woman came out, she looked ordinary and impermanent, dressed like an ordinary female disciple.
"Cousin! Xue Ning's *** is here?"
It turned out that this woman was Li Yan's disguise, because she cheated last time, Yunhai Immortal Palace refused to accept her, Ye Qinghan could only use this method to bring her into the Immortal Palace, and follow him at any time.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of her for you!" Ye Qinghan hooked his lips, revealing a look of disdain and arrogance, as if he was confident.
Li Yan listened to his words, and his heart became more and more expectant, and his eyes showed a vicious light.
Xue Ning, with my cousin here, see how long you can stay in Asgard!
*
The next day, the entrance banquet at Asgard officially began.
Xue Ning went to Liuyun Hall early in the morning and asked Xiao Chengfeng to go with him.
The place where the entrance banquet was held was the Qiandao of Yunhai Immortal Palace, which was a place for the disciples of the Immortal Palace to relax and entertain on weekdays.
On the dry island, the flowers are like brocade, the green trees are shady, the beasts and apes are full of mountains, the fairy waterfalls and spiritual springs are everywhere, the vast sea of clouds is shrouded in the surroundings of the fairy island, the glow is bright, just like the abbot of Penglai, people linger and forget to return.
A gorgeous and atmospheric palace was built on the dry island, called Zhaoxuan Palace, and the palace was full of all kinds of food and tea.
For a while, there was a lot of noise, and the members of each martial pavilion sat on both sides, while the new disciples sat in the middle.
"Uncle Shi, is the pomp of this fairy palace big enough? This Zhaoxuan Palace is bigger than the practice ground in Shushan!" Xue Ning followed Xiao Chengfeng into the gate of Zhaoxuan Palace, looking back and forth.
Xiao Chengfeng has always disliked this kind of place with many people, his expression is flat, and his interest is not high.
"Miss Xue Ning, don't come unharmed." A familiar voice sounded behind him.
Xue Ning was stunned for a moment, turned around, and unfolded a white jade fan in front of him, the person opposite was chic and calm, and his delicate face was as bright as ever. Chinese Net
"Bai Gongzi."
It turned out to be Bai Wenxuan of Baiwu Villa, the last time the imperial capital was goodbye, a year has passed, and this guy's cultivation has actually reached the late stage of Jindan
! However, after a long period of cultivation, this temperament still doesn't seem to have changed.
Bai Wenxuan hadn't seen Xue Ning for a long time, so he immediately came to her with a smile and shook his fan handsomely.
"Miss Xue Ning, I haven't seen you for a year, I miss you tightly!"
Xue Ning had goosebumps all over his body, and Xiao Chengfeng beside him was suddenly cold, filled with a burst of low air pressure, and glared at the two of them sharply.
Xue Ning smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said to Bai Wenxuan, "Eh, Bai Gongzi, we don't seem to know each other very well!"
After hearing this, Bai Wenxuan pretended to be sad and said, "Miss Xue Ning, I am so sad when you say this, didn't I invite you to dinner when you assumed the name Xin Cao?"
Xue Ning didn't expect him to mention this again, and smiled helplessly: "Bai Gongzi, you still remember it so clearly, hehe, I don't even remember."
Bai Wenxuan hooked his lips and smiled, approached her face, and said with a smile: "Miss Xue Ning, I remember everything about you."
Xue Ning's eyes widened, and his body took a step back, his words were ambiguous, which really made Xue Ning a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Chengfeng immediately stepped forward, pulled Xue Ning's wrist behind him, raised his chin and glared at Bai Wenxuan, "Bai Xiaoyou, you don't seem to have learned to respect yourself, do you need to be so close to the girl to talk?"
As soon as Bai Wenxuan saw Xiao Chengfeng, he was nervous for no reason, and immediately gave up his hand and said, "Senior Xiao, the junior is so happy to see Miss Xue Ning, he got carried away for a while, and he still hopes that the senior will atone for his sins."
"I hope you'll be careful next time!" Xiao Chengfeng warned in a cold voice. His expression was cold, and he dragged Xue Ning inside, "The banquet is about to start, follow me in!"
"Oh." Xue Ning stared at Xiao Chengfeng's hand holding her wrist with an inexplicable expression.
How do you feel that Xiao Chengfeng has always disliked Bai Wenxuan, what's going on?
Isn't one of his seniors a little too strict with this junior?
Xiao Chengfeng pulled Xue Ning to sit on the seat, and Bai Wenxuan also sat down at the table next to him, waving and smiling at Xue Ning.
Xue Ning reluctantly smiled back, and then immediately turned his head away.
Xiao Chengfeng saw that Bai Wenxuan's thief was not dead, and his mood was even more irritable, and he kept a straight face and didn't speak.
Xue Ning raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Chengfeng, seeing that his expression was wrong, she couldn't help but be surprised.
How does it feel like he's angry again?
Didn't she just say a few words to Bai Wenxuan? As for it?
"Uncle Shi, do you hate Bai Wenxuan so much?" Xue Ning couldn't help asking.
"Nope." Xiao Chengfeng replied.
"Then why did you glare at him as soon as you saw him?" Xue Ning was confused.
Xiao Chengfeng's expression was a little stiff, and he couldn't speak.
He didn't know, anyway, as soon as he saw him showing favor to Xue Ning, he was anxious and couldn't control his anger.
Just as the two were talking, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Senior Brother Xiao, you are indeed here."
The two looked up and saw that it was An Ruoxuan, she was not like yesterday, she was dressed seriously, wearing a fresh and feminine light blue dress, wearing a delicate red hairpin on her head, and a little powder, which was more gentle and quiet, beautiful and pure.
"Inspector, you're so beautiful today." Xue Ning said with heartfelt admiration.
"Really? Thank you Xue Xiaoyou for your compliment." An Ruoxuan smiled generously, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Chengfeng, her eyes were full of expectation.
