"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? Why are you still crying?" Peng Xiangwen saw this scene as soon as he came in from the door of the banquet hall, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
Seeing the outsider Peng Xiangwen coming, Lu Lang quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said seriously: "Old Peng, you are wrong, let's start the meal quickly and don't neglect the two seniors."
"Really?" Peng Xiangwen glanced at Lu Lang suspiciously, then quickly changed his expression and said to Li Mu and Geng Xian with some shame: "I just went to handle some official business. I have kept you two waiting for a long time. Please bear with me."
"Haha, since Stationmaster Peng is here for official business, there is no reason for us to blame you. Besides, we are guests, so we would like to thank you for your hospitality." Li Mu said in a friendly manner.
"Senior, please honor me. How dare I call myself the webmaster in front of you? You can just call me Xiao Peng." Peng Xiangwen said with a flattering look on his face.
Li Mu nodded slightly and said nothing more.
"Haha, two seniors, let's start our meal. Please don't mind the simple meal." Peng Xiangwen greeted.
Although Li Mu blamed Lu Lang for agreeing to stay just to satisfy his appetite, he decided to stay and make the best of it. He was still curious about the delicacies in front of him that were made with rare and exotic animals from various regions. He picked up a piece of crystal clear food that seemed to be made of some unknown animal or bird and started to taste it.
Not to mention, the taste is really good. Both the freshness of the ingredients and the cooking techniques are incomparable to the food Li Mu had tasted before. But this is not difficult to understand. After all, this is a transmission hub between several major domains, integrating the characteristics of each major domain.
Geng Xian also ate with a satisfied look on his face. In fact, to Geng Xian, the former 137th elder of the Giant Spirit Sect, these foods were nothing. But he had been a beggar in the underworld for 60,000 years. His life was so hard during those years. Sometimes he couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone delicious food. Now that such a rare delicacy was placed in front of him, naturally there was nothing to complain about.
Peng Xiangwen was also very happy to see that Li Mu and Geng Xian were satisfied with the meal. The other party was a senior boss, so it would definitely be a good idea to have a better relationship with them!
Before, he was worried that if Li Mu and the others insisted on staying in Changfeng Domain during the Qiongzu Youth Conference, they would implicate him. But now Lu Lang has made it clear that if anything goes wrong, they can find him, Lu Lang, and he will not be implicated in any case. He also recorded Lu Lang's statement. What is he worried about? Without this worry, he naturally wants to start currying favor with the two seniors in front of him.
"I don't know what kind of luck Lu Lang has to have met two such big guys!" Peng Xiangwen murmured in his heart. Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Lu Lang.
Seeing Lu Lang eating heartily without caring about his image, Peng Xiangwen was immediately furious. This was the good stuff he had intercepted from the seized materials with great effort. Usually he was reluctant to eat it, and basically used it to entertain passing seniors and high-level officials of Sunset Palace. Considering that the two seniors were brought by Lu Lang and he took the initiative to assume the responsibility for the two seniors' actions in Changfeng Domain, he could accept Lu Lang to eat together. But isn't it too much for you, Lu Lang, to eat like this?
Although he was angry, Peng Xiangwen could not lose his temper immediately in view of the current situation. He just coughed lightly and said to Lu Lang, "Old Lu, shouldn't you pay attention to your image in front of these two seniors?"
Lu Lang was enjoying his meal and was a little displeased by being interrupted by Peng Xiangwen. However, he realized that it was inappropriate to eat in such a way that did not care about his image in front of his two superiors. He was almost stealing the show. So he had to restrain himself, slowing down the speed of picking up dishes, and from time to time he would trot over to Li Mu and Geng Xian to pour tea and wine for them.
Peng Xiangwen's face did not look good at this. Did you pour the tea and wine? I arranged the banquet. Shouldn't I be given the opportunity to curry favor with him?
However, Li Mu and his companions were more familiar with Lu Lang after all, and he didn't want to snatch the opportunity to show off from Lu Lang in front of them. He had to introduce the origins of each dish in detail to Li Mu and his companions during their meal, including what precious animals and birds from the Qiongzu were used as ingredients, and which domain's cooking methods were used, and so on. During the entire banquet, Peng Xiangwen didn't eat much, but he talked incessantly.
Li Mu was happy to listen to his story. After all, he had just come out of the Chaos Sea, and the information in the forbidden Chaos Sea was too isolated. Everything outside was quite pleasing to him.
As the glasses clinked, several people chatted and laughed cheerfully, and there were fairies dancing in the center of the banquet hall, which was very pleasant.
The banquet lasted for a whole day and night before it came to an end. Overall, Li Mu was quite satisfied. It was a rare opportunity to have some free time and enjoy delicious food.
After the banquet, Peng Xiangwen arranged for Li Mu and others to take a rest in an independent palace, while he went back to work.
Seeing Lu Lang frowning in thought, Li Mu knew without thinking that Lu Lang was worried about the previous military order. He smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "Forget it, since he has enjoyed the fun, let's not embarrass him."
When Li Mu was about to bring up the matter, Lu Lang suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and excitedly said to Li Mu: "Palace Master, I have an idea!"
Li Mu looked strange when he heard this, and said suspiciously, "Tell me about it."
"Hehe, Palace Master, this is what I think. Aren't we just trying to recruit people? As for what means to use to recruit people, it doesn't matter whether those people are loyal or not. We just need to fool them... bah~, convince them to join Lingxiao Palace. By then, they will be meat on the chopping board. We can deal with them however we want." Lu Langxing said hurriedly.
"Nonsense, get to the point!" Li Mu didn't give Lu Lang a good look. After all, wasn't what Lu Lang said obvious? Those who understand will understand.
"It's like this, Palace Master. Although the transmission channel cannot be used for commercial purposes or for publicity outside of the six major forces of Ai Qiong, Changfeng Domain is about to hold the Qiongzu Youth Exchange Conference. Moreover, the one who initiated this conference is Tianri Palace, one of the six major forces. The six major forces have always advanced and retreated together. The other five major forces must also actively support this youth exchange conference. Does this count as an activity of Ai Qiong and the six major forces? If it is used as publicity, who can say anything?" Lu Lang said with a beaming eyebrow.
"Go on." Li Mu showed a hint of interest.
