Qingdi City, Big Square.

The Lord of Qingdi City, Ling Qingyun, was a close friend of Lin Xiaoyun, the Azure Dragon Envoy of Tianxin Sect. He once took Lin Fengtian in for a period of time when Tianxin Sect was hunting him down. After Lin Fengtian founded Yunjian Pavilion, Yunjian Pavilion and Qingdi City also had many exchanges. The banquet that Feng Shao hosted for the East Continent's genius was held on this square.

The reason why this square was chosen was mainly because Feng Shao had too many people to entertain. A restaurant was obviously not enough to entertain so many people, and for the purpose of discussing the Dao, the square was obviously more suitable than a restaurant.

As for the delicacies that everyone ate at the banquet, they were also provided by Qingdi City. Of course, it was Feng Shao who paid for it.

Lin Fengtian is considered Ling Qingyun's junior, and Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran are naturally considered Lin Qingyun's junior's junior. In addition, this banquet will also bring many benefits to Qingdi City, so the City Lord's Mansion is also doing its best for it.

On the day of the banquet, many geniuses from major forces took their seats one by one under the arrangement of the servants of the City Lord's Mansion. Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran were already sitting on the main seat at the top. On the left and right sat the saints and daughters of Taixuan Holy Land and Jiuyin Holy Land, and next were the geniuses from Longhua Temple, Tianyi Sect and other sects and forces.

Most people had no objection to this seating arrangement. After all, although everyone was a genius, the forces behind them were strong and weak. It was a consensus among everyone that the strongest forces had the best seats.

But that doesn’t mean everyone thinks so.

The son of destiny, Chen Ye, sat down with Xu Feng and Xu Yue, and his seat was almost at the end. Xu Feng and Xu Yue didn't think it was a big deal, after all, the sects and forces represented by the geniuses in good seats were much stronger than the Xu family of Feiyutang. But Chen Ye was very dissatisfied with this and said bitterly: "This Feng Shao really looks down on us, and actually let us sit in such a seat!"

Xu Feng was horrified and quickly warned in a low voice: "Brother Chen, be careful with your words! This Feng Shao is the son-in-law of Yunjian Pavilion. The Yunjian Pavilion he represents is not a force we can afford to offend!"

Chen Ye said with disdain: "The reason why he can rely on Yunjian Pavilion is because of Miss Lin. Whoever can marry Miss Lin will be qualified to represent Yunjian Pavilion. If Yunjian Pavilion chooses someone else as Miss Lin's husband, then the person sitting on the throne will not be Feng Shao!"

Xu Feng sighed and said, "Even so, so what? It's up to Yunjian Pavilion to choose who to be their son-in-law. It's already great for us to have a seat."

Chen Ye was about to speak, but heard Xu Yue say unhappily: "Brother Chen, Yunjian Pavilion's family affairs are not something we can control, so could you please stop interfering?"

Xu Yue's words were filled with reproach and alienation, which made Chen Ye feel uncomfortable. But as a son of destiny, he was unwilling to be left behind. He stared at Feng Shao who was sitting in the main seat with an unwilling look on his face, and gritted his teeth and said, "What's so great about Feng Shao? Sooner or later, I will sit in that position!"

Xu Feng and Xu Yue looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. They used to think that Chen Ye was a man with high aspirations and a promising future, so they wanted to make friends with him. But now, listening to what he said, he was clearly a young man with no sense of urgency! If they get close to such a young man with no sense of urgency, it might be a disaster rather than a blessing.

Thinking of this, they had already made up their minds. After the banquet was over, they would part ways with Chen Ye, so as to avoid Chen Ye provoking someone and implicating them.

Chen Ye was completely unaware that the Xu brothers and sisters, whom he had considered his own family, had begun to distance themselves from him. He just looked at Feng Shao indignantly, and vaguely felt that Feng Shao seemed to be looking at him as well.

Feng Shao was indeed looking at him. To be more precise, he was looking at the luck cloud above his head. What surprised Feng Shao was that Chen Ye's luck had now turned orange.

Does this mean that Chen Ye has lost his identity as the son of destiny?

Just as Feng Shao lowered his head in deep thought, Guan Shuo, who was sitting on his left, suddenly said, "Brother Feng, it seems that Qianyun City's Young City Lord Deng Jingyun hasn't arrived yet."

Feng Shao was startled when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Guan, what is so special about Deng Jingyun?"

The person Guan Shuo specifically mentioned must not be that simple. Feng Shao had no connection with this person, nor did he know his past, so he asked this question.

Without waiting for Guan Shuo to answer, Fang Yiming, who was sitting on Feng Shao's right, said calmly, "Brother Feng, you don't know that Deng Jingyun is very talented and has a high level of cultivation, which is fine. But the main thing is that this person is both good and evil. He is very good to his subjects, but he is very cruel to people outside Qianyun City. Since he took over the city affairs of Qianyun City, he has had many frictions with the surrounding forces, but he has always had the upper hand in every fight.

"He is always merciless to his enemies, and countless people have died at his hands. But he is gentle and kind to his subjects, loving them like his own children. All the subjects of Qianyun City are grateful to him and regard him as their second parents. He is a strange person and has his own set of ideas. I once discussed with him, but I found that he had a lot of twisted ideas and it was impossible to make sense."

Guan Shuo nodded and said, "That's right. And I heard that this person is always keen on discussing Taoism. Logically speaking, he should not be absent from this banquet, so I am quite confused."

Feng Shao nodded and said, "Hearing what you two said, I have also become interested in this person, but I don't know if he will come today."

Not long after, many of the Tianjiao had lined up in batches, filling up the entire square. Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, Feng Shao raised his glass and said to everyone, "I am Feng Shao, and I, along with my Taoist partner Lin Xiaoran, have hosted a banquet in Qingdi City to entertain you all. I am deeply grateful for your kindness in coming to Qingdi City for the banquet. I would like to offer this wine to thank you all!"

As he spoke, Feng Shao drank the wine in his glass. After indicating that his glass was empty, he smiled and said, "Please enjoy this feast!"

Out of courtesy, everyone raised their glasses in response. However, some of them looked sarcastic and indifferent.

Just as everyone was preparing to feast, someone suddenly said loudly: "May I ask, Brother Feng, what is the name of this banquet?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "It's just that I admire you all and want to make friends with you. What's the point of talking about fame?"

The man sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. Brother Feng, do you know who has hosted the East Continent's geniuses like you in the past thousand years? And what is the reason for their hosting the banquet?"

Feng Shao shook his head and said, "Other people's affairs have nothing to do with me. They have their own names, but they are not mine."

The man suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Feng, why are you so modest? As a nobody, you have won the favor of Miss Lin from Yunjian Pavilion. I believe you must have some extraordinary qualities. I am very curious and want to see it for myself."

After hearing what he said, those who had been sarcastic cheered one after another, saying, "Brother Xun, you're right! Brother Feng, please show us your skills so that we can resolve our doubts!"

Feng Shao calmly glanced at the cheering people and found that these people were the ones who had proposed marriage to Yunjian Pavilion. Then it made sense why they were so hostile to Feng Shao.

Lin Xiaoran was furious when she heard this, and said coldly: "What does my husband and I have to do with you? Could it be that you guys are too full and feel that the food here is not to your taste?"

Lin Xiaoran not only inherited Xiao Ruoyao's stunning beauty and extraordinary talent, but also her sharp tongue. However, she usually didn't argue with others, so others didn't know that Lin Xiaoran had such eloquence.

When those people heard what Lin Xiaoran said, their faces turned ugly. But the young man surnamed Xun remained calm and continued, "What does Miss Lin mean by this? Could it be that Brother Feng is too disdainful to communicate with us?"

Brother Feng smiled faintly: "Brother Xun, you are too kind. But I really don't understand what Brother Xun wants to see."

"I want to see what special skills Brother Feng has! As long as Brother Feng can show one or two tricks to defeat us, we will be convinced!" said the young man surnamed Xun sternly.

This person's words are actually asking too much. As the saying goes, there are always higher mountains. How many people in this world can be confident that they are better than everyone else in some aspects? If you use some unconventional subjects to show off, even if you are really better than everyone else, it will only make people feel embarrassed. So the only choice is actually to compare your cultivation.

But Feng Shao, can he really be stronger than everyone present in some aspect of cultivation? It cannot be denied that this possibility exists, but this possibility must be very small.

Feng Shao naturally understood the other party's intention. But he was also a very smart person, and he would not be so easily led by the nose. He said with a look of embarrassment, "I understand Brother Xun's suggestion. But I want to ask, what if I can show off my skills? What if I can't show off my skills?"

When the young man surnamed Xun heard this, his face froze.

This Xun was also an admirer of Lin Xiaoran, or should I say, an admirer of Yunjian Pavilion. He was not willing to accept the fact that the goddess he admired suddenly had a fiancé, so he deliberately made things difficult for Feng Shao. Logically, Feng Shao could only choose to accept his proposal in order to save face. But no matter what tricks Feng Shao showed, he had a way to make Feng Shao lose face.

With a power as big as Yunjian Pavilion, it must be very proud. If Feng Shao loses face, it will also be a loss for Yunjian Pavilion, so Yunjian Pavilion will definitely reconsider the issue of the engagement.

But this plan was not something that could be told to outsiders. Feng Shao's question was like forcing him to reveal his plan.

The man surnamed Xun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly realized that no matter what he said, he would probably offend Yunjian Pavilion.

Yes, it was not Feng Shao who was offended, but Yunjian Pavilion.

Seeing the young man surnamed Xun freeze for a moment, Chen Ye, who had been waiting to see the show, could no longer hold back. He slammed the table and shouted, "Brother Feng, you are so fussy, are you afraid? If you are afraid, just say it directly, why are you being so hesitant?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Chen Ye, wondering: Where did this young man come from? Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble?

But the characteristic of the son of luck is that he is not afraid of causing trouble. Not only is he not afraid, he is also keen on causing trouble.

Chen Ye stared at Feng Shao with sharp eyes, as if he would never give up if Feng Shao didn't agree.

Feng Shaoze smiled slightly and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Chen Ye said calmly, "I am a nobody, not worth mentioning. Brother Feng, please stop talking about irrelevant things and show us your unique skills, so that we can open our eyes."

Feng Shao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right."

Chen Ye was delighted and was about to speak when he heard Feng Shao continue, "Since you are so enthusiastic, then you can discuss something with me. It will be a good idea to start a discussion!"

Chen Ye's face froze.

The brother and sister Xu Feng and Xu Yue, who were sitting next to them, moved to the side at the same time, as far away from Chen Ye as possible.

At the same time, they both thought in their hearts: A young and foolish man is a young and foolish man, and this time he will be the first to stick his head out.
