Performing the "Qi Gathering Technique" every day, breathing and exhaling the aura of heaven and earth, transforming it into mana, and with the assistance of Qingyuan Dan, Fang Jue's cultivation speed is indeed much faster than that of ordinary monks.

Fang Jue felt more and more that the speed at which he broke through the third layer of the Qi Refining Stage was very fast.

The sky was very gray, the air was very hot, Fang Jue was shaking around in the courtyard in the afternoon, he originally felt that there was nothing to stay in, so he was going to say goodbye, but he was told that there was a banquet in the evening, and Fang Jue was invited to participate.

Fang Jue couldn't resist Zhao Ziya's enthusiasm, so he had to agree. It can be seen that Zhao Ziya's communication skills are indeed very strong, and she is also very prestigious in Prince Gong's mansion.

However, Fang Jue faintly found that Zhao Ziya's clarity revealed hidden worries, and it was not easy to ask about the specific situation, I have to say that Fang Jue's good impression of Zhao Ziya deepened a little.

In the evening, Fusheng came to ask Fang Jue, passed through several rockeries and pavilions, and went out of the side courtyard, a wide courtyard appeared in front of him, a pond full of lotus leaves, and above the pond was a winding stone bridge. Right in the middle of the pond, a three-storey building rises from the ground and rises in the center.

When night falls, the lights are shining brightly, and the guests come to the door in an endless stream.

Although he still didn't know the theme of the banquet, looking at these various people, Fang Jue was still a little resistant in his heart, after all, it was better to keep a low profile in his philosophy of doing things, and he needed to be vigilant against danger at all times. Moreover, he always had an inexplicable premonition, an ominous premonition.

It was when they were pondering behind the Fusheng Butler that Zhao Ziya and Hu Siyi walked up one after the other, and when they saw Fang Jue, Zhao Ziya was particularly happy, and hugged her fists and said, "Fang Shaoxia, you are here." Fusheng, is everything arranged?" she then said to Fusheng.

Fusheng bowed, bowed his head respectfully and said, "It's all arranged for the eldest lady." The lord will be there soon, and most of the guests have already arrived. It's ready to go. ”

Zhao Ziya smiled and nodded: "Okay, hard work, then you go and get busy, I'll take Fang Shaoxia to the venue." ”

"Yes. ”

When Hu Si saw Fang Jue, he also hugged his fists and saluted, and Fang Jue also smiled back.

When Zhao Ziya returned to the mansion at noon, she wore a tight-fitting white power suit, which looked majestic and chic, and when there was a banquet tonight, she changed into a lady's dress, a gray long skirt made of brocade and satin, which supported the slender waist perfectly.

Zhao Ziya grabbed Fang Jue's wrist with one hand, was in a good mood, and said playfully: "Follow me." ”

Fang Jue's face suddenly turned red, thinking about his age, Zhao Ziya was at least five or six years older than him. was pulled by the wrist of this child-faced big sister, and there was nothing more to do, and the love was just beginning, and naturally my heart beat faster.

However, Zhao Ziya is very thick-skinned, without the slightest reserve of a woman, and it can be imagined that such an older leftover girl, who has never been with a partner, is accompanied by a group of big men every day, and all she thinks about is the great cause of asking for immortals, and the love of children or something, naturally it is not in the scope of consideration.

Soon they came to the outside of the central hall, and the guests poured in from the outside in a flock of indecisively, in groups of three or five, all kinds of people, etc., among them, several of them were actually monks wearing cyan robes, and they couldn't tell which sect they were, seeing that they were uniformly dressed, at least they were not casual cultivators.

In addition, there are some high-ranking state officials who are dressed in gorgeous clothes. At the age of forty or fifty, he is in the prime of life, but he can see at a glance that he holds great power in Zhao State.

These people stood in groups and twos on the wide platform outside the main hall, chatting with each other.

Fang Jue was taken to that group of people by Zhao Ziya and Hu Si, Zhao Ziya let go of Fang Jue's wrist, looking for some acquaintances, and said hello, as one of the masters, Zhao Ziya had the obligation to help her father share the work that was ushered in.

Fang Jue had no interest in making friends with these strange people and dignitaries, this time he came out privately, and after experiencing the battle of Tianyu City, Fang Jue had to keep a low profile, in case he ran into Situ or He Shanchun or something again, it would be a big trouble.

However, you really can't think about everything, otherwise you will come to whatever you want. Because from the crowd, Fang Jue actually found the people of the Xuantian Sect, wearing cloud robes, and a wave of immortal aura arose.

Fang Jue looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but sneer, it was actually Situ! The two young monks in cloud robes beside him, with long swords behind their backs, were also talking to the others, smiling.

Only Situ, this person has a cold face, his eyes are like poisonous snakes looking around, and he does not talk to anyone, on his left side, standing very close to him is a noble young man in Chinese clothes, his eyes are also cold and vicious, but at this time he is surrounded by two or three young monks, and his words seem to be praising the noble youth.

And when Situ's eyes looked at Fang Jue's side, Fang Jue immediately turned his back to him, but Fang Jue was not afraid of him, after all, this was in Prince Gong's Mansion, and if he could be a guest of King Gong's Mansion, he naturally couldn't make a mess.

Fang Jue thought about it, and was still ready to face this old enemy head-on.

Under Fusheng's arrangement, all the guests entered the main hall of the banquet.

Fang Jue followed the crowd to the venue, Fang Jue was shocked by the magnificent hall in front of him, five rows of small tables were arranged in turn, the floor was smooth and clean, and there was a futon next to the small table, sitting on the ground. And in the center of the main hall is the main seat. There are five small tables lined up.

Zhao Ziya sat down behind a table on the far left of the main seat, and Hu Si and Fang Jue were arranged to be the guests beside her, the closest, but also closer to the spacious aisle in the middle, naturally, Fang Jue was more conspicuous in the crowd.

Coincidentally, the nobleman in fancy clothes was sitting on the other side of the throne, and Situ was sitting next to the nobleman in fancy clothes, forming the front of Fang Jue and Situ.

Situ looked at Fang Jue expressionlessly, his heart was naturally shocked, just outside the main hall just now, Situ felt that Fang Jue's back was familiar, but at this moment, he didn't expect that Fang Jue, who was young in his grade, would become a guest of honor in Prince Gong's Mansion.

He and Fang Jue did not have a deep hatred, but because of the relationship between Fang Jue and Zhou Mingfeng and others, coupled with the battle in Tianyu City, Situ naturally regarded Fang Jue as a thorn in his side, and he was the target who must be eliminated.

Situ, who has seen a big scene, naturally will not have any change in his expression at this moment. It's like you don't know each other.

Fang Jue was the same, the two of them were in eye contact, and their hearts were ready to move. But the theme of tonight's banquet is definitely harmony.

After dozens of guests were seated, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes, wearing a golden crown and cloud boots strode into the main hall surrounded by servants.

The middle-aged man is eight feet tall, majestic and handsome, walks with a tigerish style, looks like a Chinese character, has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, a square beard, a thick and short beard, and looks very masculine and charming.

This person is the first head of Prince Gong's mansion, the regent of Zhao State, and Prince Gong Zhao Shuo, who has the military power of Zhao State's million-dollar army.

Zhao Shuo had a kind smile on his face, and everyone saluted, and those high-ranking officials and nobles with extremely high power also saluted Prince Gong.

Since Fang Jue opened the Heavenly Eye, he was very sensitive to the cultivation realm of others, and at this time, he swept over Zhao Shuo's body and found that this middle-aged man couldn't even see what kind of cultivation he was, but in short, his cultivation was higher than his own. But his cultivation was wrapped in a kind of energy, and outsiders couldn't see his cultivation realm at all, and Zhao Shuo in disguise gave people the impression that he was only in the refining period.

A middle-aged beautiful woman behind him was also dressed in a gorgeous costume and wearing a colorful crown. The years have not left traces on her face, and at first glance, she is properly maintained, and under the skin bag that is like condensation and concave and convex, it is dignified in temperament, graceful and luxurious, and has a kind of motherly style in the world.

Fang Jue unconsciously looked a little fascinated, and next to the beautiful woman was a young woman in her twenties, wearing a white dress, under the phoenix crown, her appearance was extremely outstanding, like a fairy descending to earth. Everyone looked straight and thought to themselves, there is such a perfect woman in this world.

Some lewd people don't know what filthy things they are thinking in their hearts, in short, this fairy-like woman has become the focus of the audience.

Coincidentally, isn't this woman the dashing female man who helped him take a bamboo raft a few days ago? Fang Jue almost burst out laughing, but he couldn't help it.

I can't help but be curious, this woman wears men's clothes all day, disguises herself as a man, and walks everywhere in the rivers and lakes, but she has become the person next to Zhao Shuo, in short, the identity is definitely not simple.

From the first time he saw the woman, Fang Jue's heart was rippling, and he hurriedly looked at him, he thought that he would never see each other again in this life, but he didn't expect to meet again on this occasion, and sighed inexplicably, the world is really strange.

The three of them sat on the main seat with the support of the slaves, Zhao Shuo was in the middle, the left was a beautiful woman, then a noble son, on the right was a little fairy, and then at the end was Zhao Ziya.

To the right of Fang Jue was a row of five monks in Tsing Yi robes who didn't know what sect they were.

Before the banquet officially began, Zhao Shuo, as the prince of Zhao Guogong, naturally wanted to make a speech, the first was to explain the theme, the second was to boost morale, and the third was to cheer up the popularity. It's nothing more than the same as the old three.

Zhao Shuo said: "This year is the year of good fortune in Zhao State, the grain harvest is abundant, the people are rich, the night is not closed, peace is not easy to come by, the barbarians in the north have stopped invading, the Qin State has also temporarily given up territorial expansion, and the country of clouds in the south is busy dealing with pirates, and good days are not easy to come by." In addition to announcing an important event today, I would like to introduce you to an important guest who has come from afar. ”

After everyone heard this, they were all refreshed and concerned.

Zhao Shuo saw that everyone was full of interest, smiled with satisfaction, and said: "That's right, this is an important matter, my grandson Zhao Xiande became the first Xuantian Sect of the three major sects in the Zhao Kingdom to enter the Immortal Cultivation Realm this year, and he is fortunate to become an outer disciple of Xuantian Sect. Over the years, relying on the protection of Xuantian Sect, the Zhao Kingdom began to enter its heyday, but I Gong Wangfu's family has never entered the three major immortal sects. This time, virtuous virtue has really earned supreme glory for my Zhao family! This king wants to be rewarded heavily!"

Zhao Xiande?Fang Jue suddenly realized, how could he forget the arrogant and domineering Zhao Gongzi who regarded him like a pig and a dog slave!

Sure enough, the aristocratic son who sat on the throne next to the beautiful woman was Zhao Xiande, no wonder, he would sit on the throne. However, looking at Situ's position, he sat next to Zhao Xiande and sat in the first-class guest seat. Could it be that this Situ has a connection with Zhao Xiande? There is a high probability.

However, at present, looking at Zhao Xiande's infinite appearance, and then looking at Zhao Ziya biting her lip, her heart is unwilling, Fang Jue is a little worried about her, in memory, the relationship between Zhao Ziya and Zhao Xiande should be the relationship between her aunt and nephew, five years ago, Zhao Ziya was the strongest in the entire Gongwang Mansion, but now, she was overtaken by Zhao Xiande, who was advancing by leaps and bounds, and the process must be tortuous and complicated.

And among them, with Zhao Xiande's arrogant and domineering character, I am afraid that he is above Zhao Ziya's head.

Zhao Ziya endured this uncomfortable scene, and her unwillingness was also written on her face, but the flowers and applause were given to the most successful person on the stage, and no one else noticed the subtle changes in the expression on Zhao Ziya's face.

And the woman beside Zhao Ziya who Fang Jue had a good heart to remember was smiling and looking at everyone, without saying a word, and without any superfluous movements, as if she should have been like that, but Fang Jue knew that the other side of this woman, the chic and free man.

The woman's eyes turned, her eyes flowed, just opposite Fang Jue's four eyes, her head was slightly tilted, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, her eyes were full of doubts, and then they changed to seem to be surprised or surprised, obviously, she should also recognize Fang Jue.

The congratulatory voices were endless, Zhao Xiande enjoyed it very much, and Situ's expression was also extremely satisfied and enjoyable, Fang Jue could conclude that Situ should be Master Zhao Xiande or something.

But it's not right, Zhao Xiande entered the Xuantian Sect, and he is only a disciple of the outer gate, according to the process, he must enter the inner gate to have the qualification to recognize people as teachers. Situ is at most an inner disciple in Qi Zu Peak, Fang Jue thinks so, and he also understands that Situ, as an inner disciple, can accept people with immortal fate in the mortal world as disciples and establish a master-apprentice relationship.

It stands to reason that mortals should befriend monks, let alone Xuantian Sect, one of the three major sects in the immortal cultivation world, Situ should not look down on it, the only possibility is that Situ and Prince Gong's Mansion have reached some deals behind their backs to promote Zhao Xiande's strength to grow by leaps and bounds, and what resources does Prince Gong's Mansion provide to make Situ committed?
