The banquet was arranged by Cheng Dongliang, who chose a clubhouse by the river for the location—the clubhouse was nad Jiangtan Clubhouse.
Cheng Dongliang booked the entire clubhouse, so today, Jiangtan Clubhouse would only serve Li Xiaoyao and his few companions.
The banquet table was set up in the clubhouse's sky garden, and from there, one could clearly see the waves of the river coming in the distance.
Exquisite dishes filled the round table, with a glass of wine placed in front of each person.
Cheng Dongliang raised his glass and said, "Co, let's drink up."
There were but four people at the wine table.
Cheng Dongliang, Li Xiaoyao, Master Wu, and Mister Ling.
All four raised their glasses and emptied the wine in one go. Shortly after, Master Wu began to speak.
"Li boy, I see your foundation is average, and your cultivation level is average. If you wish to beco powerful, without the guidance of a master, it is impossible."
Your next chapter is on empire
"Oh? Do you have any good suggestions?" Li Xiaoyao's tone was laced with mockery.
As if Master Wu did not catch the mockery, he looked on greedily and said, "This master has so insights regarding cultivation. If you are sincere, it's not impossible for to instruct you."
"But if you wish to take as your master, the offering of a disciple cannot be lacking. Considering your weak foundation, I won't be too demanding. How about this, give the Polygonum multiflorum you acquired today as an offering, and that shall count as your discipleship offering to ."
Master Wu assud the air of a superior, as if taking Li Xiaoyao as an apprentice was an enormous honor for Li Xiaoyao.
Upon hearing Master Wu's words, Cheng Dongliang's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
Li Xiaoyao, however, chuckled coldly and said, "You think you're worthy?"
Master Wu's face suddenly changed and he said, "Li boy, don't be ungrateful. If this master were to announce my intention to take a disciple, countless people would be on their knees begging."
Li Xiaoyao casually set his wine glass down and said, "Then how about this, you give the Precious Sword you acquired today, and I will teach you a move or half for free, how about it?"
"Li boy, you're courting death!" Master Wu was furious, and an aura suddenly burst forth from his body, causing his sleeves to billow with a rustling sound.
Li Xiaoyao leisurely poured himself another glass of wine, indifferent to Master Wu's deanor, and turned to look at Ling Ziyun, who had remained silent throughout.
"I seem to recall saying that I didn't want to see you in Ling City. It seems my words did not weigh heavily on you?"
Ling Ziyun's body trembled, but before he could speak, Master Wu interjected, "Boy, what are you? How dare you speak to with such a tone? I'll give you a chance; hand over the Polygonum multiflorum now, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll break your neck and use your blood as a drink."
"Bang!"
Cheng Dongliang suddenly raised his hand and slamd the table hard, his face darkening as he looked at Master Wu.
"Master Wu, such a rampant air!" Cheng Dongliang said coldly, "Mr. Li is a distinguished guest of the Cheng Family. To threaten my guest in my place with such words, you're taking too lightly, don't you think?"
Master Wu's face shifted in color. He could dismiss Li Xiaoyao, but he dared not openly provoke Cheng Dongliang.
After all, Ling City was Cheng Dongliang's domain, and Cheng Dongliang himself was also a master at the Condensing Qi Bone Refining Realm.
"A re youngster, is he worth a confrontation with , Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Dongliang snorted and said, "Master Wu, please leave."
Master Wu was taken aback, then let out a few laughs of disbelief and said, "Fine, Cheng Dongliang, it seems you've really beco senile, to offend a real person of the Condensing Qi Bone Refining Realm over a re youngster."
Master Wu flicked his sleeve and said, "Ziyun, let's go."
"Wait!" Li Xiaoyao's voice suddenly rang out.
Master Wu turned to look at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Li boy, have you changed your mind?"
Li Xiaoyao's face was expressionless as he said, "Did I say you could leave?"
Master Wu's face turned cold in an instant as he said, "Li boy, you've got guts, daring to speak to this master in such a way."
Cheng Dongliang quickly spoke up and said, "Mr. Li, Master Wu is from the Wu Family of Zhongzhou."
```
"Zhongzhou's Wu Family? Are they that formidable?"
Cheng Dongliang explained, "In Zhongzhou they may not be much, but the Family Head of the Wu Family is a peak Condensing Qi Bone Refining Realm cultivator. We don't need to offend him unnecessarily."
Peak of the Condensing Qi Bone Refining Realm?
Indeed strong, but not yet strong enough to make Li Xiaoyao wary.
Originally, Li Xiaoyao planned to kill Master Wu and Ling Ziyun right here, but now, he changed his mind.
If he were to kill them here, it would implicate the Cheng Family.
Since that's the case, then let's allow you to live a little longer.
"All right, you can scram," Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and said.
Master Wu, infuriated by Li Xiaoyao's dismissive tone, gritted his teeth so hard they creaked and said, "Kid, soon you'll realize how unwise it is to offend a Condensing Qi Bone Refining Realm master."
"Mr. Cheng, thank you for your hospitality tonight. Goodbye."
With these words, Master Wu and Ling Ziyun turned and left the sky garden, leaping directly from the balcony.
After they were gone, Li Xiaoyao singlehandedly cleared the entire table of food clean.
Cheng Dongliang sighed on the side, "Offending Master Wu today was really not a wise move."
Li Xiaoyao took a sip of wine and a bite of food, "A re cultivator is not worth ntioning."
Cheng Dongliang opened his mouth but eventually just gave a bitter smile, "It's done, it's done. Regrets are useless."
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Xiaoyao patted his belly and stood up, "You should rest early, Mr. Cheng. After tonight, there won't be a Master Wu in this world anymore."
With that, Li Xiaoyao had already disappeared from the balcony.
Cheng Dongliang sat in his seat, utterly astounded.
What did Li Xiaoyao an by that?
What does it an: After tonight, there will be no more Master Wu in the world?
Does he plan to kill him?
Thinking of this possibility, Cheng Dongliang imdiately stood up from his seat and looked down, but he couldn't see a trace of Li Xiaoyao.
"It's impossible, no matter how fast he is, he couldn't just vanish in the blink of an eye!"
True, it was impossible, but Cheng Dongliang never considered that Li Xiaoyao didn't jump down but was flying in the sky.
Li Xiaoyao had attached a strand of his Divine Sense to Master Wu, naturally for the convenience of finding him.
By this ti, Master Wu had already returned ho with Ling Ziyun.
Ling Ziyun owned a place in Ling City and even supported a few college students. He hadn't been back for so ti, but today, as soon as he returned, he imdiately called a student.
Ling Ziyun and Master Wu parted ways, and Ling Ziyun drove to a university, picked up the student, and headed straight for his residence in Ling City.
Unable to sleep alone in the dead of night, Master Wu went downstairs, started his car, and headed for a bar.
With a luxury car and an extraordinary deanor, Master Wu quickly hooked a beautiful girl and drove her to a desolate countryside.
...
Following the Divine Sense, Li Xiaoyao was montarily surprised when he sensed Master Wu's location.
"In the wild mountains? Heaven is really helping !"
