Chapter 2020 Banquet

The scene suddenly became quiet.

No one asked who Ye Tian was.

Under the massive search and arrest of Xiandao Mountain, there is no one in the entire Jiuzhou world who does not know who Ye Tian is.

Without adding any modified descriptions, Ye Tian can only be that Ye Tian.

As for the fairy envoy of the Bai family, who was hunted down by Xiandao Mountain, the atmosphere naturally seemed a little awkward when he heard the name that was hunted down by Xiandao Mountain.

"It turned out to be that person," Bai Zongyi said after a pause, "It turns out that something like this happened to you, but people like Ye Tian may have done a good thing, but they can't cover it up. Numerous crimes, Miss Xu, you have to keep your eyes open!"

"Naturally, thank you Bai Xianshi for teaching me," Xu Nian said with his eyes fixed on Bai Zongyi, "I will definitely do it."

"Okay, all the honored guests from Nansu Kingdom have come from a long distance, and the boats and vehicles are exhausting, so let's go to the palace and sit down," Chen Guoguo felt that the atmosphere was a bit delicate, so he hurriedly stood up and smoothed things over.

"What the monarch said is that everyone should enter the palace," Bai Zongyi nodded and said.

Obviously, although Mr. Chen Guoguo proposed it on his own initiative, after Bai Zongyi nodded, everyone really started to move and walked towards the main hall.

Li Chengdao looked calm as usual, but he was watching this scene very seriously without blinking his eyes, as if he wanted to imprint such a scene deeply in his mind.

...

The grand banquet lasted from noon to night before it was completely dispersed. Xu Nian and his group were taken to the Orchid Pond Garden and arranged to live in the palace.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, Xu Nian had no intention of practicing, and came to the terrace behind.

The terrace is close to the rippling orchid pond, reflecting the lights on the surrounding shore, quiet and beautiful, and the cool breeze blows and rubs against the leaves on the shore, rustling.

It was already late at night, and the lights were sparse, only a rather gorgeous palace not far from the other side of the Lanchi was still brightly lit.

Xu Nian had already heard that the palace was called Danfeng Palace, and that Princess Jingyi, who had just returned from Chen Guo, lived in it.

In Xu Nian's heart, this Princess Jingyi, whom she had never met before, was the person she sympathized with the most during this incident.

The other party was completely innocent, and was involved in this accident for no reason. He returned from the distant country of Zheng and was about to marry into the country of Nansu.

Xu Nian is quite familiar with Yu Wenye, so he knows what will happen to that Princess Jingyi if she marries to Nansu Kingdom.

She silently looked at the brightly lit Danfeng Palace.

At this moment, she saw a figure coming out from a distance on a remote terrace of Danfeng Palace opposite, and stood leaning on the railing.

With her eyesight, she could see the other person's face clearly. It was a lovely looking woman with big eyes and slightly rounded cheeks.

In Xu Nian's opinion, if this woman smiled, she would definitely look very good-looking.

But the most important thing is that she can see a kind of nobility that seems to be inherent in the woman, which is not something ordinary people can have.

And appearing in Danfeng Palace, Xu Nian couldn't help guessing that it might be that Princess Jingyi.

While Xu Nian was looking at this side, Li Xiangge also found the palace on the opposite side that had been dark for the past few days but was just lit up today.

Naturally, Li Xiangge had already heard that the genius of cultivation in Nansu Kingdom, the famous Fairy Xu Nian, lived in Jianshui City after he came to Jianshui City today.

So she saw a woman with a cold face in the open air on the opposite side, her cheeks were so beautiful that she looked like a fairy descending from the earth, and Li Xiangge couldn't help admiring silently in her heart.

She guessed that it should be Fairy Xu Nian, and she really deserved her reputation.

For a moment, Li Xiangge and Xu Nian, two people with different identities but with similar fates, looked at each other from afar.

Both of them subconsciously nodded slightly in a friendly manner, and then returned to their rooms.

...

And here, in the Bai Family Manor, Ye Tian basically thought about the next solution.

Find a way to get as familiar with the Bai family as possible, and then find an opportunity to steal the key of the Hunyuan lock from Bai Zongyi.

However, Xia Xuan was imprisoned in the back mountain, mainly due to the existence of formations, Ye Tian could only break through forcefully, and then opened the Hunyuan lock to take Xia Xuan away.

The Hunyuan lock can lock the real immortal strongman, and Ye Tian can't break it forcibly with his current strength, not to mention that the place where Xia Xuan is imprisoned is in the back mountain of the Bai family, breaking into it will inevitably alarm people not far away. A strong man from the Bai family.

He must successfully rescue Xia Xuan before these strong men from the Bai family appear to stop him.

So in this series of actions, whether you can successfully get the key to open the Hunyuan lock has become the key to all this.

Fortunately, he is now in the Bai family, and there are still a few days before the wedding. He can wait patiently for a few days and then seek the best possible opportunity before making a move.

In short, don't be in a hurry, and don't act rashly.

After confirming all of this, Ye Tian concentrated on his practice.

Nothing to say all night.

The next day was still spent in practice.

It wasn't until late in the afternoon that Bai Xingya came.

He came to invite Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao to the banquet.

Ye Tian and the two originally wanted to refuse, but Bai Xingya insisted on inviting, and said that there were no other people at this banquet, and they were all monks of the same generation.

Seeing Bai Xingya's sincere attitude, Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao just did as they please and no longer declined.

The three of them left the Baijia Manor and headed west in a carriage.

Soon the carriage stopped, and it turned out to be in Lanchi Garden.

When he came to the door, Bai Xingya took a look, feeling a little embarrassment in his heart.

A few days ago, it was here that he taunted Ye Tian with all kinds of words, but in the blink of an eye, a few days later, he invited Ye Tian to enter, and he had to say that the world is impermanent.

While leading Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao into the Orchid Pool Garden, Bai Xingya explained some of the circumstances of this banquet to them.

This time the banquet is still related to the people of Nansu Kingdom, but it is different from yesterday's formal high-level banquet where countries communicate with each other, this time it is relatively relaxed and casual.

The host was Prince Chen Li Chengdao, who invited the remaining princes and princesses of the same generation, such as the royal family, and Li Xiangge was among them.

In addition, there are naturally Yu Wenye and Xu Nian from Nansu Kingdom.

Of course, Bai Xingya was also invited.

The place where the banquet will be held is called Qingfeng Hall, which is located on the north bank of the Orchid Pond, half of which is suspended above the water, and the environment is quite elegant.

When the three of Ye Tian arrived, the rest of the people had already arrived.

Bai Xingya's identity is here, he hasn't come yet, the banquet has not started yet, and people are chatting and waiting.

Seeing Bai Xingya coming, Li Chengdao stood up first, and everyone in the room also stood up.

"Master Bai, you were on the way just now, but you turned around and turned back. You were so late, everyone couldn't wait," Li Chengdao said with a smile and saluted.

"Going to invite a few friends over, I wasted some time," Bai Xingya bowed back and explained.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time," Bai Xingya looked at the crowd again, bowed to everyone, and apologized.

"These two look strange. I've never seen them in your Bai family," Li Chengdao looked at Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao, and asked proactively.

"Let me introduce to you," Bai Xingya said with a smile on his face just for this moment, "Everyone knows that I practiced in the holy hall for a few years, but I was only limited by my talent, and then I left the holy hall. "

"And this one," Bai Xingya first pointed at Shu Yangyao and said, "Shu Yangyao, senior brother Shu, is the senior brother I knew when I was practicing in the temple, but it's different from me. Became an official disciple in the holy hall, and have been practicing in the holy hall for hundreds of years!"

"It turned out to be a disciple of the temple," Li Chengdao's face suddenly changed slightly, showing a look of awe.

The rest of the people in the room also let out a suppressed exclamation, and their expressions changed when they saw Shu Yangyao.

Among the crowd, there were two people who refrained from making any noise, but they could see obvious emotional ups and downs in their eyes.

One is Li Xiangge.

Ever since Ye Tian came in, her eyes have been fixed on Ye Tian, ​​full of surprise and surprise.

The other one is Xu Nian.

Xu Nian's attention was not on Ye Tian, ​​and certainly not on Shu Yangyao.

Her mood swings just come from the name of the Holy Church.

She looked down at the sword in her hand.

The person who borrowed this sword is the person in the temple.

What Xu Nian didn't know was that the person she was thinking of was right in front of her eyes.

But she didn't recognize Ye Tianlai.

Except for these two people, the eyes of the rest were pure surprise and curiosity.

The name of the holy church is too resounding. In this Nine Continents world, no matter where it goes, it must be the most shining focus.

"I'm Li Chengdao, I've met Fellow Daoist Shu!" Li Chengdao took the initiative to salute Shu Yangyao.

Shu Yangyao also saluted back, then turned around and saluted everyone in the field, nodding their heads one by one.

"This is senior brother Mu Yan, who is also a disciple of the holy hall, and he is very powerful." Then, Bai Xingya pointed to Ye Tian and said.

"I met fellow Taoist Mu Yan."

"I've seen fellow Taoists."

Ye Tian and Li Chengdao greeted each other, and then greeted everyone in the field.

"The arrival of two distinguished guests made the humble house full of glory, but Xingya kept hiding it. It's really poor hospitality. Please forgive me." Li Chengdao said with a smile.

After a few polite words to each other, they sat down one by one under the arrangement.

Li Chengdao naturally sat at the main seat, because this banquet was not formal, it was more of Li Chengdao's personal nature, and the purpose was to get to know each other among these monks of the same generation.

Therefore, when they were seated, they were not divided according to the rest of the relationship, but simply divided into men and women. The princes of Chen Guo, Bai Xingya, Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao sat on the side.

The princesses of Chen Guo, as well as Xu Nian and Li Xiangge sat on the other side.

Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao originally wanted to sit at the back, but under the insistence of Li Chengdao and Bai Xingya, they had to sit at the front of this side, second only to Bai Xingya.

Next, the banquet finally began.

...

Although the distribution of seats at this banquet has already shown that these monks of the same generation will get to know each other, and they will not be involved in disputes such as other camps and relationships.

But the objective situation is here, everyone will still be affected by the two different countries of Nansu and Chen.

What's more, Xu Nian, Li Chengdao, Li Xiangge and Yu Wenye, these four will get married in a few days, and the four of them have not met before today, which makes the atmosphere of this banquet a little delicate .

Especially before the three of Ye Tian came, it was a little embarrassing.

However, the arrival of Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao, the two members of the church, immediately shifted the theme of the banquet elsewhere.

You must know that Bai Xingya has only cultivated in the holy hall for a few years, and is not considered a formal disciple at all, which is enough to be proud of among the surrounding countries.

And Xu Nian, who is generally recognized as the most popular now, has never even seen the gate of the holy hall from the beginning to the end.

After Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao appeared due to the lofty status of the temple in people's minds, Li Chengdao and the others focused on it, making the place almost a temple storytelling session.

Although Li Chengdao's thoughts are meticulous enough and he has been working hard to control the situation, everyone's expectations and excitement for the church are from the bottom of their hearts and cannot be hidden.

No matter how hard Li Chengdao tried to guide the topic, he still couldn't stop the scene from tilting. What's more, Li Chengdao was full of curiosity and longing for the holy hall in his heart.

In the end, Li Chengdao finally gave up struggling completely.

However, some people in the field didn't think about it at all.

For example, Li Xiangge, when she first saw Ye Tian, ​​she was naturally full of joy.

But then, when she learned that Ye Tian actually came from the Holy Church, Li Xiangge was of course pleasantly surprised, but for some reason, she felt more bitterness in her heart.

In her eyes before, although Ye Tian had shown great strength and had an unknown and mysterious background, the two of them got to know each other gradually and gradually in getting along day by day, so they didn't seem so out of reach.

But after saying goodbye to Qinghe City, they unexpectedly met again in Jianshui City, and Ye Tian turned into that high-ranking disciple of the Holy Hall.

All of a sudden, Li Xiangge felt a great sense of loss.

Of course, this is also related to the neglected situation in Jianshui City in the past few days, and Li Xiangge is very clear now that he is already engaged in marriage, and Yu Wenye is on the scene at this time.

Under the influence of these double factors, Li Xiangge subconsciously suppressed any desire to talk to Ye Tian, ​​even though she wanted to talk to Ye Tian very much now, even if it was just a few words of greeting.

But another voice in her heart kept reminding her that she was no longer qualified to approach Ye Tian.

Therefore, Li Xiangge has been extremely silent during this period of time.

Although she has always pretended to be a dignified and quiet princess outside, it is fundamentally different from the heartache caused by loss and sourness.

She didn't want to show it, so she could only forcefully grit her teeth and endure.

At the same time, he just silently and secretly watched Ye Tian.

Besides Li Xiangge, there is another person who has a strange mind, and that is Yu Wenye.

Before Ye Tian and others came, he was the center of the banquet.

Because of the awkward relationship between Li Chengdao and Xu Nian, Li Chengdao rarely took the initiative to seek out Xu Nian for a conversation, so Li Chengdao's main attention was always on Yu Wenye.

Of course, Yu Wenye also has enough qualifications.

Yu Wenye also thought that this was indeed the treatment he should have.

In his heart, he feels that he is not only the prince of Nansu Kingdom, but also has a relationship with the Bai family because he revealed the news of Lingbao to the Bai family.

So at this banquet, Yu Wenye actually didn't even pay attention to Li Chengdao.

Isn't the royal family of the Chen Kingdom just a dog of the Bai family?

Yu Wenye thinks that Bai Xingya from the Bai family is the only one he can put in his eyes.

But then, the appearance of Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao completely took away his limelight and reduced him to a state where no one cares about him.

This was unacceptable to Yu Wenye.

In his opinion, how could these two people gain such attention just by using a name like the Holy Church?

The reputation of the Holy Church is indeed big enough, but this is not the Holy Church, this is Chuzhou, this is Chen Country, and this is Nansu Country!

Even the immortal envoys of Xiandao Mountain, in these countries, most of the time, they must abide by the order of the country, and still respect the country's monarch. The status of the immortal envoy is just a symbolic meaning. Just a few.

Like Chen Guoxian envoy Bai Zongyi, people are more afraid of his other main identity, the Patriarch of the Bai family.

This kind of dissatisfaction made Yu Wenye feel more and more resentful.

On the other hand, it was because Yu Wenye found out about Li Xiangge's strangeness.

Some things, even if you close your mouth, will come out of your eyes.

Li Xiangge was in such a state at this time. Although she tried her best to conceal it, Yu Wenye was still full of curiosity and concern for this Princess Jingyi who was about to marry her, especially after meeting her.

So he noticed that Li Xiangge had been secretly looking at Ye Tian, ​​and the emotion in his eyes was obviously wrong.

This kind of discovery made Yu Wenye feel angry spontaneously.

He already regarded Li Xiangge as his wife, but now seeing such a situation happening before his eyes, he naturally felt a strong anger of being betrayed.
