It was the opening day of the Sword Technique Conference, which was held once every four years. According to tradition, the Kunlun Sect would hold a banquet tonight to entertain the guests from all the sects. The banquet began. First, the sect leader of the Kunlun Sect, Zhao Zhen, introduced the various sect leaders or main representatives.
The back mountain of Kunlun was decorated with lanterns and streamers. It was very lively. The Kunlun Sect had specially invited famous musicians from the martial arts world to play music. The pleasant melody filled the vast flat land behind the mountain. The place where the crowd gathered was the place where the Sword Technique Conference would be held tomorrow. The banquet of the Sword Technique Conference was quite particular. Two bamboo poles were inserted at a certain distance, and red lanterns hung on the bamboo poles, indicating good luck and ensuring the smooth progress of the Sword Technique Conference tomorrow.
Living in the red light, the people of the various sects were all very excited. There were two small rectangular tables inside and outside. There was a small rectangular table inside the large rectangular table. Each table could only accommodate three or four people. This way, the overall area would be reduced to make it easier for people to chat and discuss swords.
There was a square table in the middle of the circle, and in front of it sat Kun Lun Sect Leader Zhao Zhen and his two sons, Zhao Shizhe and Zhao Shilin. Zhao Zhen stood up, and so did the two Zhao brothers. Zhao Zhen introduced the guests." Heroes, thank you for participating in this Sword Technique Conference. I'm not very grateful. Now, I'll introduce the guests according to your seats.”
"Daoist Ziling from Wudang Sect."
Daoist Ziling stood up and gestured to everyone. It was a white-haired old man. Although he was about 60 years old, he didn't lose his pride. Helan Zhixuan looked over and felt that this honorable old man had a strong body and was in excellent spirits.
"As everyone knows, the Wudang Sect led by Ziling Zhenren has an unshakable position in the martial arts world today. The Immortal's character, intelligence, and martial arts were the most admired by the others present.”
In the ranking of martial arts compiled by the Gongsun family of the Die Nian Villa, the two people with the highest martial arts in the world were Gu Shixuan, the leader of the Heavenly God Sect, and Murong Sheng, the Divine Lord of the Sacred Divine Sect. The only person who had fought with the two of them and was not defeated was the old senior Daoist Ziling. His deep internal energy was beyond the reach of the swordsmen present.
Daoist Ziling nodded humbly. In fact, his martial arts and internal energy were not below Gu Shixuan or Murong Sheng, but he was ranked third on the ranking list. After all, Daoist Ziling was old, unlike the other two who were at the peak of their achievements.
"Emei Sect's esteemed sect master, Abbess Dinghui.”
"The newly appointed Sect Leader Yue Qingzhao of the Qingcheng Sect, who is both wise and brave.”This young martial arts legend was ranked fourth in the Gongsun family's martial arts ranking.
"The next one is Holy Lord Zeng Ran of the Fallen Immortal Residence."
"Black Wood Cliff Palace Lord Shao Zuying!"
“……”
"Finally, we have three guests who are different from the rest. They are the first to join our Sword Technique Conference, but we welcome them as well. Young Master Lu Xiao from the Sacred Light Sect, Young Master Helan Zhixuan and Young Master Ji Qingxi from the Heavenly God Sect.”Although the martial arts world was familiar with the four young masters of the Divine Church, Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon, very few people knew their true identities. The names of Helan Zhixuan, Ji Qingxi, and Lu Xiao were not listed in the rankings.
At this moment, the crowd started to get restless.”
"Aren't they cut off from the martial arts world? Why did they reappear?”
"I wonder if it's a worry or a joy? The Divine Church is…"
"How did you add these two sects without any warning? Could it be that you have other intentions?”
Zhao Zhen saw that everyone was discussing this and said,"Everyone, everyone! They are all guests of our Kunlun Sect. The sword gathering would be held tomorrow and the day after. Please enjoy the best food and wine we have for you tonight. The dishes were served. Four dishes were served at a time, and after a certain period of time, another four dishes were served five times. There were a total of 20 famous dishes around Mount Kunlun. Please make yourself at home.”
Helan Zhixuan, Ji Qingxi, and Lu Xiao sat at the same table in the outer circle. Helan Zhixuan looked around and got up to leave, but was stopped by Ji Qingxi.
"The banquet has only just begun, and you're leaving?" Ji Qingxi asked.”
Helan Zhixuan's tone was indifferent as she said,"I would rather drink alone and compose poems. I don't like to have many people."”
Zhao Shizhe paid special attention to the three of them. Seeing that Helan Zhixuan was about to leave, he immediately picked up a wine glass and walked to his side, saying,"Young Master Helan Zhixuan."
Helan Zhixuan looked at Zhao Shizhe, her memory of him still fresh in her mind. After looking at him carefully, she said,"It's you. What's the matter?"
Zhao Shizhe was full of enthusiasm." Is the food and wine not to Young Master's taste? Why are you leaving so quickly?"”
Helan Zhixuan forced a smile. It was difficult to refuse the host's kindness and said,"How could that be? It's just that everyone has different preferences."
Zhao Shizhe said," Then I won't force Young Master to stay. Since Young Master is here, let me toast you."”Zhao Shizhe raised his glass.
The thought was really troublesome. Helan Zhixuan picked up the wine glass on the table and clinked it with Zhao Shizhe's wine glass. She picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp before leaving with a flick of her sleeves. Obviously, Zhao Shizhe didn't respond. He didn't have a good impression of this rude guest. He smiled helplessly.
Ji Qingxi and Lu Xiao toasted each other and ignored Zhao Shizhe. Who asked Zhao Shizhe to only be attentive to Helan Zhixuan when he first came? Ji Qingxi was secretly unhappy, but Lu Xiao didn't care too much about this juncture.
Zhao Shizhe looked at the three people's cold reactions and could only leave quietly.
The Four Beauties of Emei, who had always been interested in handsome men, had been paying attention to this scene.
Luo Xiangfu, who had fallen in love with Zhao Shizhe, couldn't stand the fact that the person she admired was treated like this. She said unhappily,"This Helan Zhixuan is too arrogant, not giving Zhao Shizhe any face at all. Fortunately, Zhao Shizhe was magnanimous and didn't fuss about it.”
Chen Moxie mumbled," Of course not. This is because our Young Master Helan is bold. Do you think that anyone is worthy of Zhao Shizhe taking the initiative to toast him? Yet, he doesn't even care. As expected of Young Master Helan. He's elegant and handsome!"”
Huang Yijing recalled Helan Zhixuan's handsomeness and said,"I think this Zhao Shi Zhe is asking for a snub. He knows that Young Master He Lan is cold and arrogant, but he still deliberately provoked him.”
Chen Moxie muttered again," Of course not. Our Young Master Zhao is a good host. He didn't force Helan Zhixuan to do anything. Besides, he's still so gentlemanly even after being rejected!"”
Little Junior Sister had never had any principles."Little Junior Sister, who are you speaking up for?”
Chen Moxie smiled maliciously and said,"It's hard to choose between an emperor and a heroine! What do the three senior sisters think?"
Huang Yijing showed a look of appreciation on her face and said,"If I want to choose, I'll choose Helan Zhixuan. Look at him. He's meticulously dressed, elegant, calm, passionate, and unrestrained! He was also a member of the mysterious Divine Church, and his status in the Divine Church wasn't simple either. His martial arts must be outstanding! I admire his arrogant smile and cold look at the world!”
Luo Xiangfu's tone was also excited as she said,""I like people like Zhao Shizhe, who have the style of a hero! He was calm and witty, handsome, warm-hearted and chivalrous. He was also the eldest son of the Kunlun Sect's sect master. His future was limitless. He was the chosen candidate for the next Kunlun Sect Master!”
Ying Qian was deep in thought. Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe were both rare young heroes. She didn't know much about them, so she couldn't comment on them. Rationally, she knew that sometimes what she saw was not real. She vaguely felt that people like Zhao Shizhe might be easier to get along with.
"Second Senior Sister, I've been wondering why Helan Zhixuan came to your room to look for you. Do you really not know him?" Chen Moxie said helplessly.”
" What are you guys talking about?" Luo Xiangfu asked with confusion.”
"I really don't know him. Maybe you misheard him, Junior Sister."”Nu Yingqian thought to herself. If she really had a relationship with him, that would be great. However, she really had no memory of Helan Zhixuan. She was sure that she did not know him at all.
Shen Minxi's gaze also stayed on Zhao Shizhe. It was a half-smile, and it was full of affection. She was confident that no man would not be moved by her smile.
Zhao Shizhe noticed Shen Minxi's gaze. He turned around and smiled at her. He could feel that Shen Minxi's gaze on him had a special meaning. He had to admit that Zhao Shizhe was secretly happy to be favored by Shen Minxi, who was known as one of the three beauties. However, he tried his best to show his composure.
