The guests sat down one by one, and Beiming Junye sat at one of the seats. The Marquis of Huainan moved to Nangong Xiaoxiang's side. He didn't know which unlucky person this seat belonged to, so he could only share the three seats with the martial artists.
At this moment, the gatekeeper sounded a gong and shouted,"The banquet is starting!"
Thus, the door was tightly shut. Next was the Taotie, which only belonged to the four great families, the people of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and the powerful.
A simple meal was not enough to make it so grand. The jade plates on the table were all rare in the world. The four great clans were extremely wealthy and had gathered all the treasures in the world. Just this table of food and drinks alone was worth the trip. It was worth reminiscing for the rest of his life.
The Marquis of Huainan had obviously eaten a larger meal before, so he rarely moved his chopsticks. He only cared about chatting and boasting with the young people at the same table. He knew very well that the so-called banquet, eating and drinking were only secondary, interpersonal communication was the main purpose.
No matter how hard he tried to show off, he had almost turned himself into a storyteller. However, at this table, he was not the one who received the most attention and was treated like a moon surrounded by stars.
Dongfang Liuyun was one of the most outstanding members of the younger generation in the Dongfang family, one of the four great families. She was also at the third rank of the Three Talents level, just like Nangong Xiaoxiang. His speech was brilliant and elegant. He was the object of admiration of many young female disciples of the four great clans.
Nangong Xiaoxiang also had feelings for him, but she knew that this feeling came from the original Seventh Miss. In his memory, Seventh Miss had only met Dongfang Liuyun a few times, but she had been lovesick. She was crazy and silly, and her expression was pure. Every time she saw him, she could not help but be infatuated.
Dongfang Liuyun was used to being admired by others, so she naturally did not notice the timid Seventh Miss in the corner. Moreover, he also enjoyed the feeling of being pursued. However, none of the girls caught his eye because he felt that it was frivolous to throw herself into his arms. A man like him could only be described in one word: Act! Do I have to slap you twice and kick you twice to get you interested?
Nangong Xiaoxiang didn't like him. She didn't like him at first sight. That was why Nangong Xiaoxiang never looked at him in the eye. In comparison, this brother of hers, the Marquis of Huainan, was more pleasing to the eye.
They were both romantic, but he lacked the word "suave", but he was frank. I just like pretty girls, so what? He threw himself into his arms and accepted it all! Men couldn't satisfy all the girls 'expectations because their bodies couldn't take it. But I can't let them secretly be jealous and fight with each other and scratch their faces until they're blooming, right? I'm such a sentimental and tender person.
The Marquis of Huainan was worthy of the word 'shameless', but none of the women around him had any complaints about him except for his wife, Lin Xiao Yue.
Nangong Xiaoxiang's icy coldness piqued Dongfang Liuyun's interest. "Have we met before?" he asked Nangong Xiaoxiang.”
"I haven't seen him before. You've got the wrong person."
"No, I would never mistake a beautiful woman like you. You're the seventh daughter of the Nangong family, Nangong Xiaoxiang, right? At that time, you looked at me passionately and almost wanted to eat me up!”Dongfang Liuyun rested her chin on her hand and looked at Nangong Xiaoxiang as if she was admiring a painting.
"Do you look like a squab? Why should I eat you?”
"Haha!" The Prince of Huainan suddenly burst out laughing." Little brother, this move of yours is too old. I haven't used it since I was six years old.”
"Lord Marquis, with your status and position. All kinds of women naturally come with a wave of their hands. You naturally know what they are going for.”Dongfang Liuyun was not afraid of the marquis 'might and went against him.
"I know. I have money and status. I'm willing to give them to you. If a man couldn't even spend money on a woman, what was the use of a pretty face?”Nangong Xiaoxiang didn't know about the Marquis of Huainan's ways of making money, but he was indeed one of the wealthiest men in the entire Tianchu Kingdom.
"Miss Xiao Xiang and I have been friends for a long time. Our two families are also one of the four great families and have been friends for generations. The matter between the two young people is also a matter of the Celestial Sect. Lord Marquis, you shouldn't interfere too much.”
"Do you think I don't understand Xuan Qi? It's just that my family has so many experts, so I don't have to do it myself. You're staring at my sister with an intent gaze, like a thief outside. Do you think I, as a marquis and a second-class noble personally conferred by the Emperor, can sit idly by?”
"She's your sister!" Dongfang Liuyun was shocked that there was such a connection.
No one would flare up on such an important occasion. However, seducing the Marquis 'younger sister was like bullying someone who didn't have anyone in the cave. Who could endure this! The Marquis of Huainan was just boasting. The experts in his residence were all extremely difficult to deal with.
Dongfang Liuyun shut up decisively, but her interest in Nangong Xiaoxiang did not disappear.
Nangong Xiaoxiang yawned and sighed,""How boring. I thought there was something new about the banquet of the four great families. Isn't it just some food and drinks?”
"Don't be anxious. The main show is just about to begin!”The King of Huainan said.
"That's right. After three rounds of wine, it's time to be angry. This is also our purpose for coming here.”Dongfang Liuyun finally found a topic to talk about.
A duel was a special method of sparring in the Xuanmen Sect. Only with the exchange of vitality, you can know the weight, do not hurt harmony. Because one had to know how to release and retract freely, only experts who had reached the Four Symbols Realm could use the Qi Competition.
It was a silent contest, and the profoundness within was profound. It was already a great fortune for juniors to be able to observe from the side. As for whether they could benefit from it, that would depend on their comprehension.
The elders of the four families were the first to stand up and raise their glasses. This was a toast and also a signal.
It was about to begin! Everyone outside the first seat became nervous and discussed animatedly. Who would it be this year? The Four Great Elders had to determine who was better, right? Moreover, it was the first time that Seventh Wangye participated in the Qi Competition. Would something go wrong?
Everyone at the table stood up.
"Seventh Wangye, this is the rule of the banquet. I hope you won't startle your highness.”The four elders said.
"It's okay. I've long wanted to ask the seniors for advice.”
"Do you know the rules of the contest?”
"I know. The wine in the glass won't spill, and the glass won't shatter. The final victor will be the first." Seventh Wangye said.
The most important thing about the power of the four symbols was control. This was the essence of control.
Think about it, what kind of people are there! The mystic qi they released was so huge that a small wine cup was like an egg in front of a landslide.
To be able to counter the opponent while releasing a huge amount of Celestial Chi, and not let the wine in his hand spill or shatter, that was a realm that Nangong Xiaoxiang and the others could not imagine.
This was not the only difficulty. Because they were sparring peacefully, they could not hurt the other party. Therefore, when he released his mystic qi with his hands, it only flowed over the other party's hand that was holding the cup.
Everyone raised their cups and formed a circle. On the surface, everyone looked happy, but in fact, they were already secretly excited.
In the small area that was formed by the wine cup, a huge amount of Profound Qi was fighting with each other.
Nangong Xiaoxiang tried to use her Qi to close her eyes to look around, but she found that everyone's Xuan Qi was so thick that it made her dizzy. He couldn't continue watching.
The interesting part of the contest was that not only did one have to protect their own wine cup, but they also had to use their mystic qi to suppress the other party, causing the wine cup in the other party's hand to shatter. Because it was a group battle, everyone's mystic qi had their own strengths and weaknesses. Which one to attack first and which one to guard against was also worth pondering.
In fact, it was no different from a real battle of offense and defense. It was like the pushing hand of Tai Chi. Victory and defeat were the difference between the strong and the weak.
It was to use a civilized and gentle method to determine who was better.
In the beginning, everyone was testing each other and did not release too much mystic qi. As her mystic qi slowly increased, Nangong Xiaoxiang saw the wine in the cup in front of her ripple slightly. Then all the cups and plates on the table began to clang, and the table began to shake.
In the end, the entire hall and the ground began to tremble. This was not good. From such a distance, Nangong Xiaoxiang suddenly felt a huge amount of Celestial Chi pressing down on her like a wet blanket, making it hard for her to breathe.
He believed that the others had the same experience. Those with lower realms were even more miserable. They directly crawled under the table and rolled around.
"Last year, they didn't play so fiercely. Those elders are getting more and more out of control!”Dongfang Liuyun said.
"No, it's because everyone's mystic qi has increased in this year, so they can't easily defeat each other.”Nangong Xiaoxiang knew that this was already under control. Otherwise, most of the people present would have died on the spot.
Suddenly, a crisp "ding" sound was heard. The first loser had appeared.
It was Jiu Wangye. He spread his hands to show that he was helpless. He had only just begun to grasp the threshold of the Four Symbols Realm. It was already not bad that he could persist until now.
The following contest was even more intense. Those who couldn't stand it had already left the seats and fled the door. This was also a way to prepare for the main event every year.
Those who were still on the field were naturally the best of the younger generation.
However, what surprised Nangong Xiaoxiang was that the Marquis of Huainan was completely unmoved and continued eating.
"As long as you don't put yourself in a battle formation, it should be easy to resist something like Xuan Qi.”Huainan Hou said.
"It's easy for you to say. That's the protection of mystic qi. It can only be done by at least the Four Symbols Realm. Could it be that you're at the Four Symbols Realm?" Nangong Xiaoxiang found it unbelievable. Then how could it be controlled by his wife, Lin Xiaoyue? Lin Xiaoyue was easily defeated by Nangong Xiaoxiang.
"I know what you're thinking, but I've never attacked women. Because I'm not obsessed with cultivation, otherwise, I would be number one in that battle formation. It was still unknown who would win in the end!”
It was really unexpected to have such a big brother. Because of his vulgar behavior, Nangong Xiaoxiang had never observed him with her closed eyes. Four Symbols Third Order!
This was the result of not cultivating for years!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:43AM
