Chapter 637: Discussion in the Fishpond
Even a Go endgame in the picture contains profound truths, and stopping to watch it will make people have sudden realizations.
Such a precious magic weapon, which would be passed down as a family heirloom among noble families, is just used as a decoration.
In front of the screen, there is a gorgeous desk, and curls of spiritual smoke rise from the gilded incense burner.
Yue Mushan knew at a glance that Ji Wenyi had invited more than one guest tonight.
The guards brought Yue Mushan to his seat. His seat was very close to Ji Wenyi's main seat in the center, which was Ji Wenyi's way of showing closeness to him.
Yue Mushan was the first guest to arrive, and the guards first served him some spiritual tea and food. Even in the ghost world, Ji Wenyi did not change the royal family's extravagant style. The food served were all rare treasures in the world, and the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were only worthy of being used as embellishments on the platter.
Yue Mushan had been accustomed to the good things in the world since he was a child, and had no special feelings about the Ji family's luxury. However, the crane demon who came with him was stunned by the unprecedented prosperity. When he was helping Yue Mushan pour tea, he was a little timid and knocked over the wine bottle.
The ceremonial officer who was attending at the side immediately recorded it on a scroll, and would probably report to Ji Wenyi about the embarrassing situation of Yue Mushan's servants of low quality while he was in the ghost world. Yue Mushan shook his head. Even so, he did not want to call back the fox demon who wanted to be Xiao Si.
Soon after Yue Mushan sat down, other guests gradually arrived, with Ji Wenyi and Ji Weiming appearing last.
It was the first time that Yue Mushan met the legendary Ji royal blood, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at them. The elegance of the royal family needed no elaboration.
Yue Mushan and the guests stood up together and paid their respects to Ji Wenyi and Ji Weiming.
Ji Wenyi was surprisingly unassuming. He raised his wide sleeves gracefully and said, "Everyone, please don't be so polite. Please take your seats."
Ji Weiming sat down in the first seat opposite Yue Mushan. Yue Mushan followed his figure and saw Jiaying sitting behind Ji Weiming.
Jiaying actually came too.
Yue Mushan thought about it and realized that Jiaying was the Holy Son of the Divine Realm. Since Ji Wenyi had summoned him, he naturally had to be present.
On second thought, Jiaying might be just like him, wanting to please Ye Xiaoman and use Ji Wenyi's power to help suppress the Ghost Lord. Yue Mushan became alert and decided not to let him steal all the limelight.
Ji Wenyi spoke from the main seat.
"You are all my honored guests. Most of you know each other, but a few are attending this banquet for the first time. I will introduce you to them first."
"Emperor Sword, Xiao Chujing."
Yue Mushan was used to being a wealthy and idle person. This was his first time attending a grand banquet and meeting with important figures from all walks of life.
Every time Ji Wenyi introduced someone, the guest would stand up and greet the others. Yue Mushan carefully wrote down everyone's name.
This man named Xiao Chujing was recognized as the master of the Emperor Sword, and some of his amazing deeds were circulated in the six realms. Yue Mushan had some impression of his name.
When I saw him today, I saw that he was wearing a simple green robe and had a cheerful and free-spirited temperament. He was indeed a top-level sword bone.
"Master Sikong, Sikong Qing."
Yue Mushan raised his eyebrows. He didn't even notice when Sikong Qing came.
However, he had expected Sikong Qing to appear. Sikong Qing's purpose was probably the same as his and Jiaying's, which was to vent Ye Xiaoman's anger.
Sikong Qing was a casual demon who disdained the complicated etiquette of the Divine Realm. When Ji Wenyi introduced him, he sat lazily in his seat, drinking without even raising his eyes.
If others looked at him a few more times, he would glare back fiercely.
Ji Wenyi was probably really eager to recruit talented people, and he could even tolerate a heretic like Sikong Qing. In the face of Sikong Qing's rudeness, he just smiled it off.
The distinguished guests in the room had a deep-rooted aversion to the demons and kept their distance from Sikong Qing. Yue Mushan felt relieved when he saw that Sikong Qing was so unpopular.
Yue Mushan especially discovered that the Emperor Sword Xiao Chujing showed an extreme disgust towards Sikong Qing. When Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing looked at each other from afar, Yue Mushan could see sparks, as if they would have a fight in front of Ji Wenyi in the next second.
Yue Mushan was a little curious and wondered what the grudge between Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing was.
Since Yue Mushan rarely appears in public, Ji Wenyi introduced him as the finale guest of honor.
"The young master of the demon clan, Yue Mushan."
Yue Mushan's head was covered with a thin blue and white cloth embroidered with flowers. He stood up from his seat and saluted to the people around him according to the etiquette of the demon clan.
He was dressed in a unique way as a young Miao boy, with jingling silver ornaments and a veil covering his face, giving him a strange and mysterious demeanor of a demon.
As expected, everyone showed great interest in him and whispers were heard.
As a well-known fence-sitter among the six realms, the demon clan is able to get along with everyone. The Demon King and his wife have extensive contacts in the six realms and are very popular. Even Yue Mushan, as their son, is treated kindly by everyone.
Only two people present showed hostility.
One is Sikong Qing. He always feels that this masked young master of the demon clan is somewhat similar to the cat demon that harassed Ye Xiaoman, and he hates both of them.
The peerless beauty in dazzling red rolled her eyes in a very uncultured manner and directly disgraced Yue Mushan: "We are already allies, but you are still hiding your true appearance. I don't know what you are pretending to be."
The voices in the hall quieted down. Ji Wenyi smiled and pretended not to hear anything. Like everyone else, he sat back and watched how Yue Mushan would handle the situation.
Yue Mushan was not angry either. He was used to Sikong Qing's beatings and verbal humiliation. He was used to Sikong Qing's troubles. He bowed to Sikong Qing gracefully and drank three cups as punishment. "Apology."
Not bothering with rude people is in line with the gentlemanly demeanor of the divine realm.
Everyone praised him, but Sikong Qing became even more unhappy. He felt that this young master's tea-like temperament was very similar to that of the cat demon, and even the tone of his voice was similar.
The other one was Jiaying. After Ji Wenyi introduced Yue Mushan, Jiaying snorted coldly.
The impression that the Son of God gave to the world was that he was untainted by the dust of the world, just like a god living on the snow-capped mountains, untainted by the seven emotions and six desires. Even though Jiaying appeared in public again with long hair, everyone was infected by Jiaying's grace and still tacitly accepted that he was noble and flawless.
Jiaying's direct expression of his disgust for Yue Mushan was startlingly frank.
Jiaying and the Demon King and his wife have a pretty good personal relationship...
Even Ji Wenyi couldn't help but ask, "Is there any grudge between Master Jiaying and Young Master Yue?"
Jiaying lowered his eyes and pinched his Buddhist beads, "If I had known that Your Majesty had invited such shady people, I would not have come."
Ji Weiming flung his whisk aside, his smile even more sarcastic than Jiaying's. "Royal brother, Master Jiaying only has the reputation of a saintly son, but he lacks the heart of a saint. There are so many people he dislikes, why bother asking?"
Jiaying disdained to talk to Ji Weiming.
Ji Weiming stabbed Jiaying a few times, then turned to Yue Mushan with a amiable expression, "Young Master Yue, please forgive me."
Jiaying's enemy is his friend. When he has time, he really wants to collect evidence of Jiaying's crimes from Yue Mushan and disclose it in front of Ye Xiaoman.
