624: Chapter 611: Who Else But 624: Chapter 611: Who Else But The Great Dao is noncompetitive, and only by yielding as the grandeur of all under heaven can it be one of the Five Sacred Mountains.
The Five Young Masters of Donglin were like the grand and insurmountable Mount Tai of Donglin City, their presence alone demanding respect as they walked in step together, their formidable aura sweeping in like a torrential flood, commanding admiration from everyone present.
All eyes turned toward them, and the venue fell silent.
There was a sense of solemnity, yet even more, a sense of grandeur.
This gathering only occurred once a year.
mbers of high society naturally had to behave in a manner befitting their status, displaying the dominance expected of the upper echelons.
Huangfu Qingyun, Zhao Wangxu, Su Bachang, Jiang Zhentian, and Xiao Yu, Tangyu had t everyone except Su Bachang and Jiang Zhentian.
Su Bachang lived up to his na with an air that was sharp and overwhelmingly dominant.
Yet he was strikingly handso, fitting the image of a graceful young master perfectly.
With every gesture and even the slight raise of his eyebrows, a strong aura emanated, rendering others wary of crossing him.
Jiang Zhentian, on the other hand, appeared much more mild-mannered, reserved, and approachable with a smile, far less ostentatious.
His deanor was sowhat reminiscent of Xiao Yu’s, yet in comparison with the other three, it lacked a certain essence.
However, the feeling Jiang Zhentian gave to Tangyu was not good at all; this man had a depth that was well-concealed, undoubtedly a ruthless character who plays his cards close to his chest.
Zhao Wangxu’s gaze swept over the crowd before finally settling on Tangyu with a smile, “Divine Doctor Tang, today you are indeed the main character.
Don’t just stand there.
Co over here and greet everyone, say a few words.”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Zhao Wangxu’s words imdiately redirected the attention of everyone back onto Tangyu, with so people surprised, while others quickly ca to terms with it.
Of course, there were so who were not pleased.
After all, Tangyu had been in Donglin City for too short a ti.
Although his reputation was skyrocketing, and his dical skills unparalleled, it was not out of the question for him to enter high society, but to be the the of the Dragon and Phoenix Banquet seed a bit lacking in heritage.
In the upper circles, heritage is extrely important.
Without a certain heritage, one cannot occupy a certain position.
Tangyu, however, stepped up unquestionably and strode confidently toward the Five Young Masters of Donglin.
The eyes of the crowd also followed every step he took.
Scanning the Five Young Masters of Donglin, Tangyu faced their formidable presence without yielding, showcasing a defiant air that surprised many.
In fact, it reminded many people of Tangyu at the Chinese-Western dicine conference, displaying extre pride laced with a touch of wildness.
It also made many realize profoundly that Tangyu was no refined gentleman, no frail scholar.
If he were to truly contend, he was unquestionably a formidable presence.
Zhao Wangxu made a welcoming gesture, signaling to pass the spotlight to Tangyu.
Wearing a slight smile, with a touch of noble elegance, Tangyu scanned the audience and then began, “There’s an old saying, ‘Youth is bold.’ Today I’ll stand up and be bold, thanking everyone for recognizing .” His words were brief, totaling about twenty words, but they hinted at a rare daring spirit among the youth.
Today Tangyu stood likened to the mythical swordsn of Mount Hua, believing that a true man should have his mont of boldness.
Previously reserved and low-key, today, since he stood here, he also had to embrace that boldness.
Applause erupted, and clearly, Tangyu was widely accepted by many.
“That’s how you do it, good brother!
From now on, Five Young Masters of Donglin should perhaps be called the Six Young Masters,” Zhao Yaya suddenly exclaid loudly.
Zhao Yaya’s words quickly garnered a response from the crowd, with a chorus of praises following.
Those who were already close to Tangyu naturally agreed, eagerly voicing their opinions.
“Absolutely, with the na Divine Doctor Tang, endorsing him as one of the Six Young Masters of Donglin seems quite feasible.”
“Haha, who else in Donglin City could match Tangyu except for the current Five Young Masters?
The Sixth Young Master of Donglin is completely appropriate.”
“I’ve had this idea for a while now, even if he doesn’t stand alongside the Five Young Masters, at least a title is necessary.
He already has the title of Wild Young Master, let him continue with the na Divine Doctor Tang.”
“Divine Doctor Tang’s reputation is certainly great, but placing him alongside the Five Young Masters seems a bit of a stretch?
Naming him as the Great Young Master might be more fitting.”
Amidst the voices of agreent, naturally, there were also so dissenting opinions.
The Dragon and Phoenix Banquet could determine many things.
Status was not sothing you could simply claim for yourself, but rather sothing that needed to be recognized by others.
Without such recognition, even if you consider yourself the top princely brother, it amounts to nothing.
If you gain acknowledgent at the Dragon and Phoenix Banquet, that’s when your status and position truly stabilize.
The banquet also played a crucial role in formally endorsing titles such as those of Wild Young Master or Wicked Young Master.
To truly step into the elite circles, the recognition from the Dragon Phoenix Banquet seed exceptionally important for Tangyu.
Once recognized by the Dragon Phoenix Banquet, Tangyu’s identity and status would be truly cented.
This proposal indeed sparked a heated debate.
Of course, there were no outright objections.
After all, Tangyu was rising in strength, and no one wanted to offend him without reason, let alone provoke him.
Both Sun Wukong and Liu Dingyang had suffered losses at Tangyu’s hands, and significant ones at that.
Furthermore, not only was Tangyu unparalleled in dical skills, but his personal abilities were also extrely formidable, making him a top-tier contender with few rivals.
Considering Tangyu’s popularity alone, anyone considering becoming his enemy had to weigh their options carefully.
The ladies surrounding Tangyu all ca from not insignificant backgrounds.
Moreover, the Zhang Family, Wang Family, Yang Family, and Feng Family all had excellent relationships with Tangyu.
Adding to that, Tangyu’s connections with Huangfu Qingyun and Xiao Yu were also remarkable.
Just on this point alone, not many dared to provoke Tangyu.
In fact, history proved that those who did provoke Tangyu faced grim outcos.
Naturally, the consensus on this proposal was overwhelmingly one-sided, although so expressed their opposition subtly.
Also, since Tangyu was the focus of today’s Dragon Phoenix Banquet, it was clear that he had the recognition of the Five Young Masters of Donglin.
In doing so, wasn’t it also an effort to elevate Tangyu to a higher position?
This was the handiwork of the Five Young Masters of Donglin.
Realizing this, even those who were uncomfortable could only agree.
At the side, the faces of Liu Dingyang and Sun Wukong showed displeasure, while Ye Xun, Wang Jian, and a few others were gritting their teeth in frustration.
But what could they do?
They had never been able to get the better of Tangyu before, and now they were even less capable.
Although the discussion had not reached a definite conclusion, it was clear that after the Dragon Phoenix Banquet, Tangyu’s status and reputation were set to rise significantly, reaching a level comparable to that of the Five Young Masters of Donglin.
In fact, many elites considered Tangyu as the sixth Young Master of Donglin.
Of course, Tangyu’s capabilities in all aspects could perhaps equal those of the Five Young Masters of Donglin and stand at their level.
However, what he lacked was the profound groundwork — this lack of foundation was the only thing holding Tangyu back.
Thus, although many felt Tangyu could be called the sixth Young Master of Donglin, many knew in their hearts that without the deep roots, Tangyu couldn’t compare to the Five Young Masters.
To be one of the Five Young Masters of Donglin ant having an undisputed standing across Donglin City, where no one dared to shake the foundation of these five towering figures.
No matter the issue, their involvent could easily resolve it.
A re stomp of their feet, and Donglin City itself would feel the reverberations.
Only with such deep roots could one truly earn the title of Young Master of Donglin.
Clearly, Tangyu lacked this kind of foundation.
Thus, no matter how exceptional his other abilities were, they couldn’t reach that level.
To Tangyu, however, fa and status were but fleeting clouds; he didn’t value them highly nor did he dwell on them much.
Whether he was considered the sixth Young Master of Donglin or simply remained Divine Doctor Tang, these things were external to him.
After all, he wouldn’t stay in Donglin City for long.
No matter how many honors or how glorious the achievents, all would disappear with his departure.
Fighting or not, it didn’t really hold any substantive aning.
Given Tangyu’s typically low-key nature, there wasn’t much to contest.
After the spirited discussion, the guests moved away from the topic, and the Dragon Phoenix Banquet officially began.
A multitude of staff quickly rolled out trays of ticulously prepared food, drinks, and desserts, resembling a lavish feast fitting for an Emperor, incredibly grand and bountiful.
The variety of dishes was astonishing, with nearly a hundred dishes available, each generously portioned so that guests could eat as much as they desired.
As for drinks, they were all vintage, not available in the market, yet freely offered here.
This level of treatnt was truly comparable to that of an Emperor.
Zhao Yaya, the little food lover, was thrilled, shuttling between various dishes, and incessantly praising them.
The dishes were all exquisitely flavorful, rightly described as heavenly delights.
As the main character of this Dragon Phoenix Banquet, Tangyu was continually toasted by a steady stream of people, wave after wave.
If it weren’t for Tangyu’s good capacity for alcohol, he would have been overwheld long ago.
Initially, Tangyu had been toasting with others, but as the situation beca untenable — even with his high tolerance, his stomach had its limits and couldn’t manage frequent bathroom trips — he had to limit himself to light acknowledgnts.
Tangyu couldn’t rember how many people had co to toast him, but definitely more than two hundred.
Virtually all the attending elites had co to offer him a drink at so point; this was a form of recognition.
The Dragon Phoenix Banquet turned out to be no more complicated than any other banquet, following nearly the sa script.
However, its atmosphere was incomparable to any other gathering, truly emblematic of upper-class society, fostering a unique mood.
The evening feast lasted about three hours before concluding, and all traces were quickly cleared away, leaving the venue spotlessly clean.
With full stomachs and high spirits, the attendees’ moods were even more uplifted, filled with laughter and joy.
Only now did the true Dragon Phoenix Banquet comnce.
The banquet had rely been a prelude, with the main event just starting.
Seeing many attendees eager and ready to act, Tangyu, attending the Dragon Phoenix Banquet for the first ti, was unaware of what activities were next.
