He also knew that the fruit produced by this tree was very delicious and would be perfect as an after-dinner dessert.

That's why I brought three extra.

The three giant melons were each larger than their entire bodies, immediately attracting the attention of many guests.

"We're so grateful to have such a delicious meal today, seniors."

Ruble said with a smile.

"I will immediately instruct the servants to prepare."

Shui Miao happily accepted the three large melons and handed them to the servants.

The banquet was still mostly attended by members of their Water Phoenix Sect; no matter what, they were the ones who benefited.

"Senior, you've arrived too."

The father and son were attracted by the three big melons, and then they saw Ye Buxiu's figure, so they quickly came over to greet him.

"Oh, the Hu family father and son, you're here too."

"I came here specifically to share in the good fortune after hearing that a golden dragon had appeared at the Water Phoenix Sect."

Although Mr. Hu was only middle-aged, his face looked somewhat aged due to frequent exposure to wind and sun.

His smile resembles that of a kind old man.

"You two know each other, senior?"

When Shuimen heard that Hu Gong also addressed Ye Buxiu as senior, he asked.

"Yes, we apologize for disturbing you this morning."

Hu Gong explained.

Since we both know each other, we're friends!

Judging the water gate is very simple.

This banquet will certainly not be as safe as a normal banquet.

Because of the golden dragon they sent, their sect will attract many people to flatter them, but it will also attract a lot of disdain.

Therefore, it is highly likely that there will be troublemakers at this banquet.

He wasn't worried about that, since there was a master like Ruble there to protect him. What he was afraid of was spoiling everyone's enjoyment.

His biggest concern was making his seniors feel unhappy.

As they were talking, a graceful figure walked by.

"Lord Xingge."

"I was delayed by some matters today, please forgive me."

After learning that Huo Lan Sect and Xing Ge were in contact, Shui Men asked Huo Zhong and the others to send the invitation to her. Today, Xing Ge relied on the teleportation stone halfway up Yinmo Mountain to teleport directly over.

Xingge's appearance caused another uproar among those around her.

The number one person on the continent, the one with the best chance of reaching the Immortal Realm, naturally arrives with a halo.

But when did she, who is located in the due east of the Desolate Ancient Continent, become so close to the Water Phoenix Sect, which is located in the due west?

"President Xing, you flatter me. The timing is just right."

Shuimen glanced at the sky, then at the various visitors waiting to be received at the foot of the mountain.

"It's about time to get started."

"Give the order to begin receiving guests."

As soon as the news broke, people who were previously lounging around rushed to the front of the lobby to queue up.

Most people come here primarily to make friends and broaden their horizons. Ideally, they'd also like to meet one or two influential figures at the dinner.

Besides, they can't come here for nothing; they should at least bring some gifts.

The more valuable the gift you bring, the more likely you are to be seated in a place with important figures.

Right now, it's time for the Water Phoenix Sect to receive gifts.

Shuimen and Elder Shuimiao stood here, exchanging a few pleasantries with the person who came to deliver the gift before taking the gift.

The two guys stood there with smiles on their faces.

Although Hizuka and the others were familiar with Minato, they couldn't break the rules, so they all lined up properly.

Ye Buxiu, unfamiliar with local customs, handed over his gift as soon as he arrived, and now he was standing there alone, feeling rather bored.

So they came over to join in the fun and see what gifts the guests were giving.

Of course, this action was considered very impolite by everyone.

Ye Buxiu had no idea about any of this, so he stood beside Shui Miao.

From a distance, he looked like a villager visiting the city, curiously examining everyone's gifts.

Shui Miao had no objection to this.

What's more, everyone saw that the sect leader of the Water Phoenix Sect even took the time to chat with the young man for a bit.

Who is this person?

The voices from the crowd were mostly met with shakes of the head.

However, he violated the Water Phoenix Sect's etiquette, and since even the sect leader didn't hold the boy's rudeness against him, they, as outsiders, couldn't say anything.

The procession moved forward slowly.

Ye Buxiu was already stunned by the treasures that had been brought to him.

"Wow, this bottle is so beautiful, it's definitely a work of art."

"Huh, what's this bag...?"

"Damn, this thing can breathe fire!"

Before he knew it, Huo Zhong, the sect leader of Huo Lan Sect, arrived in front of Ye Buxiu.

And what are you carrying?

Ye Buxiu curiously leaned over.

"Haha, it's nothing special, just a high-grade spiritual artifact."

"That's what Fire Mist has to say," Fire Mist replied.

He reached in and pulled out a treasure radiating spiritual energy, handing it to Shui Miao, who was collecting treasures in front of him.

Shui Miao snatched the magical artifact and said in a cheeky tone,

"Anyway, we never expected you bunch of heartless idiots to send us anything good."

"Hehe, good to know."

Guan Sanguan also answered with a smile.

They were already very familiar with each other and had become Ye Buxiu's tenants. In their eyes, none of these treasures could compare to a cup of tea from Ye Buxiu.

People who have seen the world are not content with small things in front of them.

Sure enough, following the Firestorm Sect came the Burning Moon Valley, represented by the Blood Pigeons, and then the Lu family father and son.

They gave us some reasonably priced trinkets.

Then, with Xingge, the style suddenly changes.

"Sect Leader Shui, this is our first meeting today. I have prepared some small gifts for you to accept."
