"Junior Sister Xiao, congratulations on breaking through to the Void Realm!"
A moment later, a handsome young man in his early thirties, dressed in ancient style, walked over, his gaze towards Xiao Lingyue filled with admiration.
Even without an introduction, Gao Yan knew who he was.
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Shen!"
Xiao Lingyue simply responded indifferently.
"Junior Sister Xiao, this must be your newly accepted disciple!"
Shen Chen's gaze fell on Gao Yan, and suddenly, he was startled: "Junior nephew has such good talent, he has already reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage. Congratulations again to Junior Sister, you have taken on a good disciple!"
He had always paid close attention to Xiao Lingyue's affairs. This time, he had come out of seclusion early to attend Xiahou Jing's Great Dao Celebration. But the first thing he did after coming out of seclusion was to find out about Xiao Lingyue's affairs.
Therefore, he knew that Junior Sister Xiao had taken on a new disciple named Gao Yan.
According to the information gathered by the old servant, Gao Yan was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage.
I never expected that upon closer inspection, he would actually be at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
This cultivation level has improved way too fast!
Hearing Shen Chen praise his disciple, Xiao Lingyue smiled and said, "He was able to reach the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm so quickly, which can be considered as taking a shortcut!"
"Junior sister is too modest. I can see that my junior nephew has a solid foundation, which does not seem like he obtained his cultivation through trickery!"
Shen Chen smiled and said, then took out a storage ring and handed it to Gao Yan: "Junior Nephew Gao, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is a small token of my appreciation!"
"Master!"
Gao Yan didn't immediately take the storage ring, but instead looked at Xiao Lingyue.
"Since it was given to you by your senior uncle, you should accept it!" Xiao Lingyue nodded to him.
Gao Yan then accepted the storage ring and thanked Shen Chen.
He then used his divine sense to sense the contents of the storage ring: five million low-grade spirit stones, ten bottles of pills for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and two top-grade spiritual artifacts!
As expected of a sycophant of his master, he's incredibly generous.
"No, he gave me so many things, I can't be rude. From now on, I won't call him Master Shen's lapdog anymore, I'll call him his suitor."
If Shen Chen could sense Gao Yan's inner thoughts, he would probably slap him to death.
Just as Shen Chen was about to take the opportunity to chat with Xiao Ling a bit more, a voice filled with surprise rang out: "Senior Brother Shen, I didn't expect you to have emerged from seclusion. Did your seclusion go smoothly?"
These words, filled with deep concern, naturally came from Uncle Liu, the other person in the love triangle.
But Shen Chen was clearly not interested in this kind of concern.
Seeing the smile gradually disappear from Xiao Lingyue's face, he felt even more uneasy, but he couldn't say anything to Junior Sister Liu, so he could only politely reply, "Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister Liu. My seclusion went quite smoothly!"
"Will Senior Brother continue his seclusion after this Great Dao Celebration ends?"
Elder Liu asked, "I know that you enjoy fine wine. During your seclusion, I brewed several kinds of wine. Would you be willing to come to Wangyue Peak to taste them?"
Shen Chen's expression stiffened: "I appreciate your kindness, Junior Sister, but I must continue my seclusion after this Great Dao Celebration!"
"I see!"
Elder Liu looked disappointed: "It's alright, I'll have someone deliver the wine to my senior brother!"
"Then thank you very much, Junior Sister!"
Having come this far, Shen Chen had no choice but to reluctantly agree. However, he deliberately peeked at Xiao Lingyue's reaction and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his junior sister was not angry.
Elder Liu glanced smugly at Xiao Lingyue and said, "Then tomorrow, I will personally deliver the wine to my senior brother!"
"How could I trouble you, Junior Sister? You can just send someone to deliver it!"
Shen Chen said with a headache.
"That won't do. I personally brewed this wine, so I'll only feel at ease if I personally deliver it to my senior brother!" Elder Liu said confidently.
Seeing this scene.
Gao Yan and Yin Yutong, who were watching the drama unfold, secretly exchanged glances several times.
"Senior Brother Shen, Junior Sister Liu, the Great Dao Celebration is about to begin. You should return to your seats quickly!" Xiao Lingyue said at this moment, her tone slightly cold.
"Senior Brother Shen, since some people don't welcome us, let's leave!"
Elder Liu's expression changed, and he said in a cold voice.
"this……?"
Shen Chen's expression also changed slightly. Finally, he sighed inwardly, said something to Xiao Lingyue, and returned to his seat.
Time passes.
The empty seats in the square gradually became occupied.
The grand celebration is about to begin!
The Great Dao Celebration consists of three parts. First, Xiahou Jing appears and preaches to everyone. Second, after the preaching, everyone asks questions, and Xiahou Jing is responsible for answering them.
The final step was to mentor the younger generation, with Xiahou Jing selecting a few from among the younger generation present and bestowing them with gifts.
"Knock knock knock!"
As three deep bells rang out, the room fell silent.
Then, the void suddenly cracked open on the high platform in the center of the square, accompanied by a high-pitched phoenix cry, and a handsome young man wearing a dark blue robe rode a lifelike energy phoenix from the void!
The fiery phoenix energy dissipated, and Xiahou Jing stepped onto the ground of the high platform.
He surveyed his surroundings with gentle eyes and slowly spoke: "I am Xiahou Jing, and I thank you all for attending my Great Dao Celebration!"
He then sat cross-legged on the high platform and began to recount his understanding of the Great Dao of Fire.
He would also give demonstrations during his sermons!
Unfortunately, no matter how detailed Xiahou Jing's explanation was, more than 90% of the people present could not understand it and could only memorize it by rote, writing it down first and then slowly comprehending it later!
However, Gao Yan is an exception.
His cultivation method came from the system, so after obtaining the method, he comprehended all the realms.
