It Turns Out Fellow Daoist Bu Already Has So Many Dao Companions
Just as Wu Chu and the Eastern King Duke were exchanging pleasantries, several humanoid beings awoke from their enlightenment and flew towards them, bowing respectfully from afar.
"Junior Fengyang thanks you for your guidance, seniors!"
Upon hearing the name 'Fengyang', Wu Chu's lips twitched involuntarily. Wasn't that a place name? But it seemed this guy was from the Phoenix Clan, and a direct Phoenix Clan at that.
At this time, the concept of 'surname' did not exist, but the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, and Qilin spontaneously used the same character as a prefix to adopt their Daoist names, in order to distinguish their identities and origins.
The Dragon Clan is named 'Ao', the Phoenix Clan is named 'Feng', Qilin Clan is named 'Earth, Wind, Water, Fire'.
A being who can use the prefix "phoenix" in their Daoist title is clearly not an ordinary Phoenix Clan creature.
"This junior Chixu, thanks you for your guidance, seniors."
Fengyang was a young man with a full head of red hair and a heroic demeanor, while this Chixu- Chixu Daoist was completely repulsive compared to Fengyang's handsome features.
Not only did he have a round, bald head, but he also had a Chixu around his chin. Although he didn't look fat, he was somewhat frail.
Besides these two, there were several other beings, but Wu Chu didn't recognize any of the Daoist names they gave.
Clearly, these creatures were not famous figures on this Primordial Land, and they did not leave any noteworthy mark on the history of mythology.
This Chixu reminded Wu Chu of the 'Red-Bearded Dragon,' but clearly, this guy shouldn't be Dragon Clan; otherwise, it should be prefixed with 'Ao.'
During this period, the Daoist titles prefixed with "Ao" were something the Dragon Clan could be proud of.
Eastern King Duke turned to look at them and returned their greeting from afar, saying, "I am Shaoyang, fellow Daoists, you are too kind! In truth, we did not intend to preach to you. Your understanding is due to your own good fortune. If you are interested, I would like to choose another time to exchange ideas with you further."
It must be said that Eastern King Duke's behavior was not only elegant, but his attitude also made the Daoists feel quite flattered.
Even Wu Chu found it hard to believe that this guy would lower himself to such a low level.
He had initially thought this guy was being polite to him because of his philosophical pronouncements. Now he realized that this guy seemed to treat everyone that way!
Such a person can be described as extremely shrewd and worldly-wise. No wonder the future Ancestor Hongjun would give him the position of the head of all male immortals in the world, so that he could govern all the immortals in the world.
Looking at the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, almost none of them possessed the shrewdness and charm to be so sophisticated. In comparison, the Queen Mother of the West, the Head of Female Immortals, had a much weaker presence.
Wu Chu smiled and said, "Why bother choosing another time? If you fellow Daoists are willing, you are welcome to come and sit down. We can get to know each other and exchange ideas."
The Eastern King Duke his personal charm to conduct diplomacy, while Wu Chu and Chu planned to use their cuisine.
The result was self-evident: how could the personal charm of the Eastern King Duke possibly withstand the appetites of the masses? These Daoist priests were completely conquered by Little Moon Spirit's Dao of Cuisine.
That said, Wu Chu felt it was a pity that Little Moon Spirit hadn't been able to advance to the Golden Immortal this time. However, Wu Chu didn't want to bring it up, lest he upset her.
After exchanging ideas about food, Daoist Fengyang couldn't help but sigh, "When I was in the Phoenix Clan Royal Court, I was fortunate enough to witness the Dao of Cuisine of the Qingqiu Clan. However, compared to theirs, the Qingqiu Clan's Dao of Cuisine are rather insignificant."
This guy didn't know that Qingqiu Li was the ruler of Qingqiu. When everyone was introducing themselves, Qingqiu Li and Houtu didn't say anything, obviously not wanting to have any more contact with them.
Eastern King Duke naturally wouldn't say much about this; he had already figured out that the relationship between these two female cultivators and this fellow Daoist was extraordinary.
Therefore, upon hearing Fengyang Daoist's words, Eastern King Duke coughed lightly, stopping the fellow from continuing his reckless behavior.
However, Qingqiu Li had no complaints about this, after all, what she said was true. In this Primordial Land, no one could compare to Little Moon Spirit Dao of Cuisine.
Wu Chu smiled and asked, "May I ask what the relationship is between Fellow Daoist Fengyang and Fellow Feng Xi?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Fengyang exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, you know Sister Nineteen?"
Nineteenth Sister is Feng Xi's generational name in the Phoenix Clan.
"I was fortunate to meet him on the Great River." Wu Chu said, and then took out the Phoenix Feather that Feng Xi had given him and showed it to Fengyang.
When Fengyang saw the Phoenix Feather, he paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I see. Then you and I are no strangers..."
What? This doesn't mean they're not outsiders anymore?
"My father is the fifth among his uncles and was enfeoffed in the southeastern Seaside. I am the twelfth among our generation, slightly older than Feng Xi, and currently serve under my father, helping to manage a region." Fengyang Daoist actually began to explain his background to Wu Chu in detail, then asked, "Does fellow Daoist know the meaning of this Phoenix Feather?"
Hearing these words, Wu Chu was somewhat bewildered. "Isn't this some kind of symbol, like a pass?"
"That is indeed one of the meanings," Fengyang Daoist smiled. "But there is another meaning as well. These are our tail feathers, a precious gift that is only given when professing love. It seems that my sister has taken a liking to you, fellow Daoist."
"Look, you've taken a fancy to this humble Daoist priest? What's the meaning of that?"
It wasn't that Wu Chu couldn't understand human language, but rather that he couldn't believe that the Little Phoenix Feng Xi would have any thoughts about him, especially since Feng Xi hadn't shown any of them before.
This is truly... impossible to guard against!
Fengyang smiled and said, "If you've taken a liking to someone, you've taken a liking to them. What else could it mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several waves of anger swept over him, making his heart skip a beat and giving him a suffocating feeling that made it hard to breathe.
Of course, only two of these bursts of anger were truly threatening, but those two bursts of anger were so powerful that they instantly silenced him.
The other fellow cultivators were startled by this and dared not even breathe.
Eastern King Duke glanced thoughtfully at Houtu and Qingqiu Li.
Wu Chu's lips twitched, and he silently mourned for Daoist Fengyang.
At this moment, Daoist Fengyang understood why Wu Chu knew nothing about it; clearly, Feng Xi hadn't revealed anything to him at all.
Perhaps that girl saw these two powerful figures present, so she... Alas! Feng Xi, you've caused your brother so much trouble! I never imagined that this Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves would already have so many Daoist partners.
He felt that those who had just shown anger towards him were Wu Chu's Daoist companions.
One, two, three, four...
Fengyang silently calculated in his mind, then stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I suddenly remembered that there are still many matters in my jurisdiction that I need to return to handle. Everyone, thank you for your hospitality. I will take my leave now, and see you again in the future..."
"..."
