Chapter 40: A Mere Tang Monk?
I slept for ten days, and the ten days passed in my sleep, and today is the official start of the plum feast.
It is also a rare big day in the Shangqing Palace, and forty-six first-class forces in Fang Yuan will be invited to participate, in addition to those young Tianjiao who are quite prestigious on weekdays, they will all get an invitation.
This is not only a grand event of the Shangqing Palace, but also a grand event of these people.
Since it is a grand event, there is no need to hide it, the momentum is naturally as vast as possible, so on the day when the plum hunting banquet officially began, the sky above Yunlu City was like a mirror reflecting the scene in the Shangqing Palace, and the scene at the plum hunting banquet, everyone at the banquet would be watched by the people of the entire Yunlu City.
Whether it is inside or outside, there will be a special person responsible for recording, and under such a grand event, once there is any outstanding performance at the plum banquet, almost all will be recorded, so as to become famous in one fell swoop.
Today's sky is not good, the sky is covered with dark clouds, such weather is very oppressive, but today is excellent and very appropriate.
The mirror hangs high above Yunlu City, and the pitch black will make people see more clearly.
There are only more than 200 people who are qualified to enter the plum hunting banquet, which is not too much and not too little, but it is very lively.
Ye Xiu walked in, Liang Xiaodao followed behind him, people who did not have an invitation could not participate in the plum hunting banquet, but they would not be prevented from entering the plum hunting banquet.
The real thing to do in the plum hunting banquet and the plum hunting banquet are two different things, and the two are naturally different.
Jinyi Ye Xiu's reputation is not small, even if it is placed in this banquet, it belongs to the top level of prestige, the most important thing is not that he was favored by the warden as a disciple, but that he was recommended by Mr. Liu and was intentionally accepted by the warden as a personal heir, which is the most important thing.
As soon as he entered, he attracted the attention of many people, and the chatter and laughter at the banquet paused in unison.
"Ye Xiu?"
These people looked at him, a look of surprise appeared on their faces and then regained their composure, it stands to reason that Ye Xiu should accompany Mr. Liu in Bashan at this time, after all, in his opinion, Mr. Liu is far more important than a plum hunting banquet.
It's just that after a short period of surprise, everyone stopped thinking about it, Ye Xiu's reputation is not small, but his strength is not the top, and Tiance has commented that he can only be qualitatively improved after entering the Warden Division and stepping into the four realms, and Ye Xiu at that time is really qualified to be among the top Tianjiao in the Wasteland.
Now it can only be regarded as first-class, not the best.
"I heard that you lost to a man named Li Xiu in the Tang Kingdom?"
Ye Xiu walked into the banquet, found a seat and sat down, but just as he sat down, he heard a voice from the front.
So he turned his head to look.
The banquet was neatly arranged, with a horizontal table at the top, and long tables on the left and right sides below, leaving an aisle in the middle.
Hua Yuyao sat at the top, the plum banquet was held by the Shangqing Palace, and Hua Yuyao, who was a saint, sat on the main seat, and naturally no one would object.
And the one who said this was a man sitting on the first side of Hua Yuyao's left, and the people who could come to participate in the plum hunting banquet were all proud sons of the sky, and naturally they were all very proud people.
A group of geniuses sitting together will not be a happy discussion, but will not interfere with each other, look down on each other, and then a conflict will break out, and in the end there must be a winner or loser.
The fact that this person can sit in the first place and not be opposed by the crowd is in itself a great thing.
He looked at Ye Xiu, his voice was flat, not mixed with the slightest ridicule, and there was no mocking expression on his face.
Because he's not sarcastic, he's really asking.
Even if Tiance's comment said that Ye Xiu would only step into the top ranks after the Four Realms, it didn't mean that he wasn't strong now.
When he went to Datang to participate in the sea of books, he ranked eighty-fourth on the list of Huangzhou Canglan.
Very low.
But when he came back from Datang, he was ranked 39th in the new round of rankings.
This is a huge span, the Canglan list includes the world's talents, and only the most outstanding monks in the entire wasteland can climb it, but Ye Xiu has jumped from eighty-four to thirty-nine.
Such a span really shocked many people's eyes.
So many people were speculating about what benefits he had gained in the sea of books, so they went around to find out the news, and then the news came out that he didn't participate in the sea of books at all, but was defeated by Li Xiu in front of the Three Holy Fasts.
Then countless people began to wonder who this Li Xiu was.
Then Tiance broke out the fierce news, Luo Yiweng and Luo Fuyuan joined forces but were still defeated by Li Xiu, and they were defeated in front of Tang Academy.
Therefore, although Li Xiu's reputation is not obvious in the barren state, he already has a deep impression among them.
Many people are curious about what kind of person this is.
I didn't have a chance before, but now I saw Ye Xiu, so Chu Yang opened his mouth to ask.
Chu Yang is this young man who sits in the first place, from the first-class force Ziwei Mountain, although it is not as good as the Shangqing Palace, but this Chu Yang's strength is extremely strong, ranking sixteenth on the Canglan list, no matter whether there is an accident or not, he can achieve the top 100 rankings in the sword test conference, so as to get the opportunity to lose snow in Cangshan.
It's almost a recognized thing.
Ye Xiu nodded and said lightly, "Yes." ”
It's a shame to fail, but it's Li Xiu who lost to him, so it's not a shame.
Chu Yang asked again, "How is his strength?"
Ye Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Invincible below the four realms. ”
The whole banquet fell silent, even a little scary, and everyone's eyes looked at him in unison, with more or less different colors on their faces.
Chu Yang was silent for a while, then nodded and did not speak again.
On the side, someone sneered: "I know that Ye Gongzi was defeated in the hands of a mere Tang State monk, but there is no need to say such outrageous words to excuse himself, which makes people look down on him." ”
Ye Xiu turned his head to look at the person who spoke, knowing that this was the Thirty-sixth Cave Holy Son Ji Zhihua, who was ranked forty-seventh on the Canglan List, and his strength was extremely strong.
"What? Could it be that I said it wrong? Even if that person is better than Luo Fuyuan and Luo Yiweng, and his strength is quite good, but if it is said that he is invincible below the four realms, it is too much of a joke, right?"
There was no one around to speak, obviously a little uncomfortable with what Ye Xiu had just said.
If you lose, you lose, why bother to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?
Ye Xiu dusted off the brocade clothes on his body, turned his gaze away, and ignored it.
Ji Zhihua's face was slightly gloomy, and he was about to speak, but he heard an extremely flirtatious voice sounding beside Ye Xiu.
"I said, boy, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, so I bother you to say it again?"
This is very abrupt, and the attitude is extremely arrogant, which can be said to be very unpopular.
Ji Zhihua turned his head and looked over, his face even darker.
The other people at the banquet around him also looked over, wondering who the person who said this dared to ridicule Ji Zhihua like this.
Ye Xiu drooped his eyebrows and was silent.
Liang Xiaodao stood beside him, one foot on the table, looking at Ji Zhihua with a playful expression, but his eyes were extremely cold.
"You just said that the monk of the Tang Kingdom? boy, you don't seem to hear clearly, do you want to say it again?"
