This simple sentence was the first time during the one-hour reception period that he personally invited the guests into the house.
Afterwards, Lu Jingzhi personally led the distinguished guest into the gate of the mansion.
I saw towering red gates and glazed tiles shining brightly in the sun. This luxurious mansion was like a pearl embedded in the earth.
The front of the door is decorated with lights and big red lanterns hanging high, as if announcing the joy of the day to the world.
The courtyard is spacious, and the ground is paved with bluestone, as smooth as a mirror.
The roadside is lined with beautiful flowers, with crystal dew still hanging on the petals, shining charmingly under the sunlight.
The green trees with lush branches and leaves are like giant green umbrellas, bringing coolness to the guests.
"Please follow me in."
Lu Jingzhi took him into the hall.
The hall is magnificent and brightly lit.
A huge red silk silk hung from the roof, like a gorgeous cloud.
The guests were dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting together, chatting and laughing.
When the guests caught sight of the person approaching slowly, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent.
Everyone quickly stood up and respectfully saluted the elder of the Yudan Mansion.
"Elder Hu Xin, I didn't expect you to come here in person." One of the guests spoke first with a flattering look on his face.
"That's right. It's been a long time since we last met. It's our great honor to see you today, Elder."
However, in the face of everyone's flattery, Hu Xin just nodded indifferently, made a slight "hmm" sound, and then was too lazy to pay attention to these people.
He walked to the huge round table on the right and sat down. He picked up an exquisite wine jug on the table, raised his head and started drinking in big gulps.
At this moment, the Great Elder came to Lu Jingzhi hurriedly with a list in his hand.
He lowered his voice and whispered softly in Lu Jingzhi's ear, "Master, as of now, several forces, including the Tiansha Holy Palace, Tianxin Mansion, and the Hundred Beasts Gate, have not yet arrived."
Lu Jingzhi nodded slightly. In fact, he had already expected that some forces would be absent from this event.
After all, this Lu Mansion, which rose out of nowhere from the mortal realm, may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of those old forces.
Moreover, even if some forces came to the banquet, their purpose was probably just to spy on the strength of the Lu Mansion.
Just as Lu Jingzhi was thinking to himself, a burst of firecrackers was heard outside the house.
Immediately afterwards, several pretty maids in uniform came in one after another, each holding a plate of delicious delicacies in their hands, and carefully placed them on the dining table in front of the guests.
In the spacious and bright hall, Lu Jingzhi sat steadily at the head of the table. Smiling, he raised the exquisite wine glass in his hand and said loudly, "Today is a joyous day for our Lu family to rise high and become the undisputed pillar of Xuanyan City!"
"Dear friends and family, please eat, drink and chat well!"
As Lu Jingzhi finished speaking, all the guests responded in unison, raised their glasses, and drank them all in one gulp.
After a brief pause, Lu Jingzhi spoke again, "Besides, I have something important to announce to you all."
"That means from now on, our Xuanyan City will be officially renamed Luyan City!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Everyone present showed surprise, but soon turned to joy and congratulations.
The elder of the Seven Immortal Sect, holding his wine glass, chimed in with a smile, "Haha, then congratulations to Patriarch Lu!"
"I wish that Yanlu City and the Lu Mansion will flourish and prosper, and shine brightly and reach their peak!"
The eldest brother of Jianqi Sect also quickly responded: "Indeed, with the current strength of the Lu family, he will definitely occupy a place in the Holy Land in the future and achieve great things!"
At this moment, the elder of the Jushan Sect showed curiosity on his face and asked, "What the Jianqi Sect said is absolutely true, but I have always had doubts in my heart."
"What are your doubts? Please tell me."
"Hmm... I heard that Patriarch Lu defeated the renowned Lü Qiyuan a while ago. I guess Patriarch Lu's cultivation must have reached the Sky-Stepping Realm, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the representatives of small forces and various businessmen who had been watching the show silently from the sidelines suddenly became excited.
They all pricked up their ears and fixed their eyes on Lu Jingzhi, expecting the head of the Lu family to reveal his true cultivation level in person.
After all, this was what everyone had been discussing today. Despite their constant probing, Lu Jingzhi remained smiling, his expression as calm as water.
"I am just a mere Xuanwang realm cultivator. I am truly sorry to have made such a fool of myself."
As soon as the words fell, the elder of the Seven Immortal Sect immediately responded: "Master Lu really loves to joke!"
"If he was just an ordinary Xuanwang realm cultivator, how could he have killed Lü Qiyuan?"
As he spoke, his shrewd eyes rolled around, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Then he suggested, "How about we have a competition right here and now?"
“Everyone just needs to click and stop.”
"This way, we can add some fun to everyone here and liven up the atmosphere."
"Secondly, this competition can also enhance the friendship between us."
"I wonder what the Lu family thinks?"
After hearing what the other party said, Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh out loud.
After laughing, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course there is no problem!"
"However, you are a highly respected elder of the Seven Immortal Sect. Your status is so noble and your strength is so unfathomable that you deserve my admiration."
