"Chief Deacon."
"Master."
When Li Hongye walked over, all the disciples at the table cupped their hands respectfully.
The deacon of the Great Spirit Master level had hundreds of disciples under his name. Some were subordinates and some were disciples. The seniority between them was divided according to their strength.
At this moment, Li Hongye walked over and grabbed Su Yuan's hand.
"Mr. Smith, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time.”
Li Hongye completely ignored the crowd and came to Su Yuan's side with a smile.
This scene also caused the expressions of the other disciples to change. They were extremely surprised. Could this unremarkable mortal be a relative or friend of the deacon?
"Hehe, Miss Fu brought me here to join in the fun.”Su Yuan smiled.
"Suxin, thank you for your hard work." Li Hongye was stunned. He looked at Fu Suxin and nodded with a smile.
"This is what I should do, Chief Deacon.”Fu Suxin did not expect Su Yuan to be Li Hongye's friend, so she became even more respectful.
In fact, everyone at her table was Li Hongye's disciple and was under Li Hongye's management, so Su Yuan's status was naturally higher than theirs.
"Teacher, follow me to the inner hall. I'll bring you to see the elegance of the genius disciples of the various sects.”
Li Hongye smiled.
"These people are your disciples?" Su Yuan's expression was calm as he looked at everyone and suddenly asked.
"Yes." Li Hongye was stunned.
"Then should I drink this wine or not?”Su Yuan's gaze turned to Xiang Jingshan by the side.
"Kageyama? What happened?" Li Hongye frowned and asked.
"Senior Brother Li, it's nothing serious. I invited your friend to drink just now, but he refused, so it was a little unpleasant. Since he is Senior Brother's friend, let's forget about this matter.”
Xiang Jingshan was stunned, but he smiled. He was now a Great Spirit Master disciple, and according to seniority, he should be on the same level as Li Hongye, so there was no need to bow down.
"Be careful next time." Li Hongye frowned. Sensing Xiang Jingshan's aura, he was shocked. After some thought, he decided to let this matter go.
"Please drink this cup of wine.”
Right at this moment, Su Yuan's indifferent words rang out, causing everyone to be stunned.
He pushed out a cup of strong wine and looked at Xiang Jingshan with a calm expression.
Hearing this, Li Hongye was also stunned. He didn't need to ask to guess the reason. This kind of thing was common.
In the past, countless mortals had encountered this kind of thing and were often made difficult by cultivators. If their relatives were high-level cultivators, it would be fine, but if their relatives were only spiritual practitioners or spiritual master disciples, they might be made difficult. Getting drunk was already a light punishment.
Li Hongye had never wanted to ask about this matter, but he hadn't expected Su Yuan to directly ask Xiang Jingshan to apologize.
A mortal actually wanted a cultivator to apologize? If it were anyone else, they would have flipped the table long ago. Fortunately, Li Hongye was present. Otherwise, Su Yuan would have been beaten up.
Speaking of which, this Su Yuan was also bold. At this moment, he also looked at Xiang Jingshan silently. It was up to him whether he was willing to lower his head or not.
The other disciples watched nervously. They did not dare to say anything because Su Yuan was Li Hongye's friend. Naturally, they did not dare to offend him.
"Haha, good, good, good." Xiang Jingshan laughed loudly. He gritted his teeth, grabbed his wine glass, and downed it.
"Senior brother, junior brother still has something to do, so I'll leave first.”After drinking, Xiang Jingshan said this. He glared at Su Yuan fiercely and turned to leave.
"Mr. Su, Junior Brother Xiang has such a temper. Don't take it to heart.”Li Hongye turned around and smiled.
"I'm fine." Su Yuan did not even look at Xiang Jingshan. He took a few spirit fruits and continued to eat.
Li Hongye said a few words to the other disciples before leading Su Yuan inside.
"So this mortal called Su Yuan is a relative of the Head Deacon. No wonder he's so arrogant.”
"Hmph, he's just a mortal. He won't live for many years. Just now, Senior Brother Xiang was just giving face to the deacon.”
"Haha, if it wasn't for the presence of the Head Deacon, that mortal would have been beaten to the ground. He's too arrogant.”
"That's right, that's right. He's just a mortal. Isn't he just giving face to the deacon? What's the big deal?”
After Su Yuan left, all the disciples started discussing.
This was the case in the cultivation world. Cultivators would never look up to mortals. After all, mortals had short lifespans and were basically people from two different worlds. Mortals could never be compared to the nobility of cultivators.
Mortals who could enter the sect as guests relied on their relatives in the sect. As time passed, they would fade away.
In fact, once a person stepped into the cultivation world, they would gradually separate from mortals. Even if they were blood-related relatives, they would not recognize them after a few generations.
"Xiang Jingshan was originally my disciple, but he was extremely talented and cultivated hard. I practically watched him advance step by step. Now that he has advanced to a Great Spirit Master, it's equivalent to being on the same level as me.”
On the way, Li Hongye spoke with a hint of loneliness in his tone.
The cultivation world was cruel. Although he had hundreds of disciples, they were all sect disciples, not his own disciples.
Once a disciple advanced to the same level, the seniority would also change.
The reason why he was lonely was that Xiang Jingshan had advanced to the Great Spirit Master realm in a hundred years at such a young age. This was decades faster than his advancement back then.
If nothing unexpected happened, Xiang Jingshan's achievements would definitely be higher than his. In the future, he might even ride on his head.
Li Hongye was already more than four hundred years old, and he did not have much time left. His strength had reached its limit, and it would be difficult for him to break through.
His only hope now was to be able to live the rest of his life in the sect and nurture his granddaughter.
Su Yuan listened as he followed. In fact, he did not take Li Hongye's words to heart at all. He had long seen through the trivialities of the Spiritual Realm. The so-called ways of the world had nothing to do with him now.
Soon, they arrived at the center of Taihe Palace. As soon as they arrived, he saw that there were many musical instruments inside. It was noisy, singing and dancing. It was extremely lively.
The cultivators who could come here were basically all Great Spirit Master level disciples. There were also elders of various sects, relatives, and genius disciples.
At this moment, in the huge palace, there were dozens of tables of people in the village. There was a large stage in the middle, and there were women performing on it.
The people sitting around the stage were the distinguished guests of the various sects.
Li Hongye brought Su Yuan to the corner of the host and guest area and sat down. Here, Li Hongye seemed insignificant, and his status naturally fell to the bottom.
Su Yuan sat with him, and Li Shilan was beside him. This was all thanks to Li Hongye. They could see the talents of the other sects and get to know each other better.
"Everyone, it's finally time for the host and guest segment. Now, let's invite the guest representative to the stage.”
After the show ended, the disciples below the stage became lively as the host's words fell.
