Under the banquet, Ning Que and Sang Sang sat in the corner, very leisurely.

Although Sangsang's cold has subsided, the habit of liking to drink for many years will not change for a while, and the wine at the banquet is the best wine in Chang'an City, and she is quite happy.

Ning Que occasionally ate some, and chatted with Situ Yilan on the side from time to time, talking about Longqing and the second floor.

On the other side, Xie Chengyun, Linchuan Wang Ying and Zhong Dajun were also staggered, talking to each other, and the posture of young talents was very sufficient.

In addition, there were several ministers of the DPRK and China in the banquet hall, who seemed much calmer, occasionally clinking glasses and talking about a few words, and then said no more.

In the first place, it is naturally the princess Li Yu, and there are two opposite to her, one left and one right.

There was no one on the left, and on the right sat a man in a plain green shirt with a calm and gentle expression, but a few strands of silver in his hair made him not look as open-minded as he seemed.

He is naturally the protagonist of this banquet, Chongming, the prince of Yan who has been hostage in the Tang Kingdom for nearly ten years.

The two said some reminiscing words to each other, and they already put the treasure of farewell on their lips.

Chongming's return to Yan this time, not surprisingly, is to take over the throne of King Yan.

Under normal circumstances, it will be difficult for the two to see each other again.

In other words, the two will henceforth be completely opposed to each other.

One is the princess of Tang Kingdom, and the other is the future king of Yan Kingdom, and the friendship between them has long been much weaker.

Although Li Yu talked to Chongming again, his eyes always looked out of the door casually, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.

Chongming has been in Chang'an for nearly ten years, and his eyes are so keen, his expression is slightly gloomy, and he seems to ask casually: "I heard that you seem to be going in and out of a shop called Wanshiju lately, and I don't know what is sold in this shop, which can attract the mainstream of a country so much?"

He naturally knew that Xu Chuan existed, but because of the lack of intelligence, what he knew was that in addition to Xu Chuan's contribution to Li Yu's return to the Tang Kingdom, he had the realm of Dongxuan's top grade, and secondly, Xu Chuan entered the academy as a borrower under Li Yu's recommendation.

As for Xu Chuan's battle with Yan Se in the Chunfeng Pavilion and the fact that he wrote down a rune in the old book building, he had never heard of it.

Under the suppression and blockade of some people, intentionally or unintentionally, in addition to the parties involved, only the top few existences in the Tang Kingdom will know all the things about Xu Chuan.

Hearing Chongming ask about Xu Chuan, Li Yu's eyes were inexplicably cold, in fact, she didn't want too many people to know about Xu Chuan's existence, and some of the tentative meanings in Chongming's words also made her very uncomfortable.

But then she said with a smile: "It's just that there is a friend there, so naturally I have to take care of his business often."

As soon as her voice changed, she smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Chongming's younger brother has arrived in Chang'an, the son of light, but it is really a great praise."

Chongming was silent for a moment, and said with some distraction: "Longqing, he seems to have been a genius since birth, whether it is riding poetry books or even practicing, as if there is nothing in the world that he can't do, and he can get the praise of the Son of Light, I am actually not surprised, compared to him, my brother is like a waste." ….

Li Yu's expression was calm, and he said a little directly: "Longqing is now in the limelight, although I don't know why Xiling will agree to let him enter Chang'an to replace you as a hostage, but he has the support of Xiling behind him, so he should not be underestimated, in the world, the only one who can compete with Xiling is my Tang Kingdom, if Brother Chongming wants to sit firmly on the throne of King Yan, he should know how to choose."

Long Qing's expression was a little struggling and conflicting, and he didn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, a noise suddenly sounded in the quiet backyard of the victorious house, but soon, as the noise approached, it quickly became quiet again.

The footsteps of only a few people reached the ears of all the guests at the banquet.

dared to be good at the banquet held by the princess Li Yu, and the identity of the person who came was naturally very extraordinary.

At the head was Zeng Jing, a scholar of Wenyuan University in the Tang Dynasty, who was a member of the court and the central government who was deeply trusted by His Majesty and the Empress.

On the right hand side of Scholar Zeng Jing was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and wearing the Haotian Divine Sword at his waist.

There is no doubt that these two are real big shots, and their demeanor and temperament are extremely extraordinary, but the young man who followed behind them still attracted everyone's attention for the first time.

Some people seem to be born extraordinary, regardless of their status.

I saw that he was wearing the lifeless robe of the Ruling Division of the Xiling Temple, wearing an ordinary sword at his waist, his steps were smooth and steady, and his handsome face was full of indescribable calm, but everyone was subconsciously amazed by his pride in his bones.

He is the son of light in everyone's mouth, Longqing.

Under the different and complicated eyes of countless people, Chongming slowly got up and said, "Longqing, I haven't seen you for many years."

......

Long Qing came here suddenly, and the timing of the occasion was naturally inappropriate, but with Wenyuan University leading the way, and Mo Li, the vice president of the Heavenly Oracle Academy, opening his mouth, even if it was just an excuse that no one believed, no one would say anything on this ground.

What's more, Long Qing just stood there, and his calm expression told everyone that he didn't care about this, he just wanted to come, so he came, and it didn't matter to him what other people thought or said.

After a simple and boring greeting, Zeng Jing's words in college led to the next dispute that was destined to happen.

This is Long Qing's first public appearance since he arrived in Chang'an, so he naturally wants to crush the audience to build momentum for him to enter the second floor.

When it comes to cultivation, Long Qing bluntly asked Wang Jingluo, who was known as invincible in the Tang Kingdom, to come to Chang'an to fight him, and the confidence and calmness in his words seemed to have doomed Wang Jingluo to defeat.

also revealed the fact that he would soon enter the fate of his fate.

So looking for the younger generation of the Tang Kingdom, there was no one to compete with them in the path of cultivation.

However, Hua Shanyue went to think of Xu Chuan, who was dressed in white.

In his life, among his peers, if it is said that he can suppress this talented Prince of Longqing, I am afraid that there is only Xu Chuan.

It's a pity that this person is not from his Tang Kingdom.

So he opened his mouth to refute the words in his stomach, and finally did not say a word.

However, if the path of cultivation is lost, there is still a way to debate difficulties in the literary meeting. ….

To put it in layman's terms, it's just a debate.

Of course, although the pros and cons may not be absolute, they are an excellent means to compete with the literary heritage of both sides.

The first to stand up was naturally the famous Xie Chengyun.

It's a pity that in front of Longqing, Xie Chengyun is like a fledgling child, under the net woven by Longqing with countless predecessors, he has no power to fight back.

The strength of this argument is the sum of the people at the entire banquet, and I am afraid that it is not enough for him to fight alone.

The way of cultivation failed, and the way of argument was also very ugly, so at the signal of Hua Shanyue, a lieutenant colonel stood up and put forward the rather childish argument of competing for the amount of alcohol.

Longqing is indispensable.

However, the priest Mo Li said, "Since it is drinking, naturally there is no need to continue standing, there is no one in the vacant seat next to the princess, so it is not too late to drink after taking a seat."

There was nothing wrong with saying this, but Li Yu immediately refused: "There are already people here, and this palace can add another seat to Prince Longqing."

Priest Mo Li's face was a little unsightly, and said, "It's just a seat, what's more, in addition to the position next to the princess, as the second seat of the Longqing Adjudication Division, where is there a seat worthy of him?"

Li Yu said with a cold face: "It's an uninvited guest, it's good to have a place, what's more, if this guest of mine arrives, what is Longqing?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Chongming's eyes were gloomy, but he didn't know that that person had such a status in Li Yu's heart.

Long Qing looked at Li Yu calmly and asked, "Dare to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is this guest, it is the King of Tang

, or the gentleman on the second floor of the college?"

His tone was calm, but he said clearly, apart from the Tang King and the gentleman on the second floor of the academy, who else in this Tang Kingdom could make him feel ashamed?

Calm and proud, proud and even a little arrogant.

But to many, it sounds like it's meant to be the way it should be.

At this time, it had already been served, and Long Qing picked up a cup casually and walked directly to the seat.

Li Yu got up angrily, and Hua Shanyue directly drew his sword and said coldly: "Bold, even if you have an extraordinary identity, you shouldn't be so presumptuous!"

At this time, Divine Officer Mo Li glanced at Hua Shanyue lightly, and suddenly a terrifying pressure fell on Hua Shanyue, making his action of drawing his sword extremely difficult in an instant.

Longqing walked step by step as if he couldn't see it.

Li Yu glanced at Zeng Jing, who seemed to be blind, and his heart was cold and angry, and he looked around the academy students and several officials who followed him, and sadly found that she seemed to be powerless to prevent Long Qing from occupying this seat.

In the corner, Sang Sang whispered in Ning Que's ear, "Her Royal Highness the princess is so pitiful."

Ning Que shook his head and said, "She pity us and we can't help it, this Mo Li is a priest who knows his fate, Longqing is also the peak of Dongxuan, and his identity is even more extraordinary, but he is going to sit in a position, and it is not to be unfavorable to the princess, can he still mobilize the army to take him down?"

However, just as Long Qing was about to walk to that seat, two footsteps, one in front and one behind, slowly came from not far away.

The footsteps in front of him resounded in everyone's hearts like a drum. ….

One step at a time, everyone's hearts seem to be controlled by an invisible force.

No one is exempt.

Especially for those who have a high level of cultivation, the influence is even greater.

When the footsteps came to the door of the banquet hall and stopped, Long Qing, who was at the peak of Dong Xuan, couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood on the spot, and the same was true for the Mo Li Priest.

A faint voice came from outside the door.

"I heard someone is trying to steal my place?"

Hearing this, Li Yu looked out of the door in surprise in an instant, looking excited and happy, he actually came?

Outside the door, Xu Chuan appeared in front of everyone in a plain shirt.

A strand of hair was just tied up casually and put behind him, with a bit of indescribable laziness in his eyes, and everyone felt a natural and comfortable breath coming to them.

In front of him, there was no pride, no self-confidence, everything was as insignificant as dirt on the side of the road.

He walked towards Li Yu, naturally skipped Long Qing, and smiled, "It's late, sorry."

Li Yu's smile was like a flower, showing a bit of amazing beauty, and she whispered, "It's good that you're here."

With that, she stepped forward, took Xu Chuan's arm, and led him to sit on the seat next to her left.

Zhuoer stood quietly behind Xu Chuan as if he were a transparent person.

In a moment's time, Mo Li had already recovered from the state of Fang Cai's breath disorder, and Long Qing was still a little short of half a point before he could recover.

Divine Officer Mo Li stared at Xu Chuan with a solemn face, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is Your Excellency?"

The cultivator who could hit him and Longqing hard with the sound of footsteps, the level of his realm was simply beyond his imagination.

When did the Tang Kingdom produce such a terrifying cultivator?

Long Qing looked at Xu Chuan, looking a little dazed.

The last time, the person who ignored him like this and easily suppressed him was the proud and cold woman.

But that woman is from the unknowable place of Xiling, and she has the name of a Taoist idiot.

He could comfort himself a bit.

But the oppression and terror that Xu Chuan brought to him far exceeded that of the woman named Dao Idiot.

It seems that he has never existed in the eyes of the other party, and just the sound of footsteps can easily hit him hard, and it is still difficult to speak.

In the face of such absurd facts, his pride and self-confidence for more than ten years have vaguely collapsed at this moment.

Xu Chuan's gaze fell on Mo Li's priest, as if he was a little scrutinizing.

Li Yu introduced loudly: "This is the vice president of the Heavenly Oracle Academy of the Xiling Divine Temple, Mo Li, the priest."

Xu Chuan shook his head when he heard this, and said lightly: "It's so weak to know your fate, but since you are doing the business of teaching and educating people, it is understandable."

The faint words spread in this banquet hall, and many people's faces became very strange and wonderful.

Know your fate.

He is an extremely rare top powerhouse in all countries, a great cultivator in the eyes of countless people, not to mention a noble priest with such a noble status as the vice president of the Heavenly Oracle Academy.

It is estimated that Mo Li did not expect that one day, he would be evaluated as weak.

However, in Xu Chuan's mouth, this evaluation seems to be just right, without exaggeration or belittling, as if it was just a simple fact.

When the words fell, Xu Chuan didn't care about the reactions of the others, but looked at Long Qing, which seemed to be the first time he looked at each other squarely.

He smiled and said, "You seem to like my position? Shall I give it to you?"

Long Qing finally returned to normal and could speak, but under Xu Chuan's gaze, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable tension and fear.

But then, this nervousness and fear turned into a burning fighting spirit, and he was not a person who was willing to admit defeat.

Especially since the other party looks like he is the same age, even if he is stronger than him, it is impossible to be much stronger.

He believes that he is now close to knowing his fate, and if he can break through the realm with the help of the other party's pressure and be in the same realm with him, he may not be without the strength to fight.

So, he slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, straightened up, and said calmly, "I always like to take the things I like."
