"No," Su Chen shook his head and said, "I'm here to find someone."
"Who is it?" Yan Yuwei asked curiously, "Could it be a goddess?"
"Mm." Su Chen nodded.
"That's really true." Yan Yuwei shook her head and smiled. When Su Chen said he was looking for someone, she was the first to guess that he was looking for the Goddess, and she was right.
Su Chen knew that Yan Yuwei must have misunderstood something, but he didn't explain.
"Alright, I have something to attend to, so I should go. If we have the chance to talk again in the future, let's chat again." Yan Yuwei put the guqin into her spatial ring, slowly stood up, bid farewell to Su Chen, and left.
Su Chen did not leave. He sat under the pavilion, drinking alone, until the banquet officially began, before Youyou departing.
The banquet was quite lively. On the stage, dancers dressed in flowing robes danced gracefully, their movements as light as swallows, each movement carrying a unique rhythm.
Nearby, musicians played celestial music; the stirring drumbeats, melodious piano notes, and crisp flute sounds intertwined, Human Heart.
Su Chen found a seat, sipped his wine, and watched the dancers perform on stage, feeling quite relaxed.
"Brother, I've finally found you!" At this moment, a hand suddenly landed on Su Chen's shoulder, and he said excitedly.
Hearing that familiar voice, Su Chen's face darkened. Was this guy crazy? How did he manage to pinpoint my location among so many beings attending the birthday banquet?
And this person was none other than Di Tian!
Di Tian, being of considerable status, was naturally qualified to attend this birthday banquet. He sat down next to Su Chen quite naturally and said with a smile, "Brother, you still haven't explained to me clearly what you meant by what you said last time."
"The literal meaning," Su Chen said calmly.
Di Tian looked around, then transmitted his voice to Su Chen, "You didn't actually beat Yan Jiang up, did you?"
"Yes." Su Chen nodded in agreement.
"You're bragging. Yan Jiang is a powerful figure at the God Venerable Sixth Level, while you and I are just young people, at most at the God King Realm. How could you possibly be a match for Yan Jiang?" Di Tian shook his head, indicating his disbelief.
"Believe it or not, just leave me alone, or I'll lose control and beat you up." Su Chen pushed Di Tian away with his elbow and continued drinking.
Di Tian then fell into deep thought.
Could he be telling the truth? He beat Yan Jiang up? But how is that possible? Unless he's at the Divine Venerable Realm, but judging from his bone age, he doesn't seem very old, definitely no more than ten thousand years old. At that age, to be at the Divine Venerable Realm? That's just too terrifying!
But if not, why would Yan Jiang treat him with such respect?
I see!
He must have a powerful background!
This background is even more terrifying than that of the War God Divine Clan, which is why Yan Jiang respects him so much—that must be it!
Di Tian's eyes lit up, as if he had really figured it out.
Just then, the world changed drastically. The originally azure sky was instantly enveloped by rolling, colorful auspicious clouds, and the rich divine energy surged and churned like a tangible wave.
The next moment!
Auspicious colors filled the air, and dazzling rays of light streaked across the sky like shooting stars. Amidst this Human Heart spectacle, two figures slowly emerged: an old man and a woman.
The old man, though his hair was white, was full of energy. His long robe, embroidered with golden runes, exuded a sacred and solemn aura under the auspicious light.
This old man is named Yan Zhang, and he is also the ancestor of the War God Divine Clan. Today's birthday banquet is prepared for him.
The woman had a curvaceous figure, and her face was veiled, revealing only a pair of bright eyes that shone like stars in the night sky, deep and captivating, attracting the attention of many men present.
Su Chen recognized the woman; she was Yan Yuwei, the one who had played the zither under the pavilion.
"This Miss Yuwei is no less beautiful than their goddess, but it's a pity that her cultivation talent is only average. Her fate is destined to be beyond her control, and she can only become a tool for arranged marriages," Di Tian said, looking at Yan Yuwei.
Yan Yuwei noticed Su Chen below at first glance and gave him a beautiful smile. The smile was so captivating that it stirred the hearts of the men in the room, who were completely mesmerized.
However, a small number of men noticed that Yan Yuwei's gaze was fixed on Su Chen. Immediately, Su Chen Su Chen felt several hostile stares, but he didn't care and continued drinking his wine.
"Brother, Miss Yuwei smiled at you. Could it be that you two know each other?" Di Tian asked in surprise as he approached Su Chen.
"I was just strolling around and happened to come across a mountain peak. That's where we met," Su Chen said casually.
"The mountain you mentioned, could it be the one where Miss Yuwei lives? You can't just go in there without Miss Yuwei's permission," Di Tian asked in surprise.
"I don't know, I just wandered over there. She was playing the piano and even offered me a drink," Su Chen said.
"Damn, bro, you're awesome! We just met and you got to hear Yuwei play the zither, and she even bought you drinks. I'm so envious! How did you do that? Teach me, I'm still single." Di Tian said, his eyes wide.
"Want to learn? Figure it out yourself," Su Chen said with a sneer.
"Brother, that's not fair of you. We've been through life and death together, we're practically inseparable, and yet you're so heartless," Di Tian said, heartbroken.
"When have I ever been through life and death with you? When have we ever shared the same pants?" Su Chen said, his face full of black lines. He had truly never met such a speechless person before.
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding, don't be angry," Di Tian said with a grin.
Su Chen turned his head away, too lazy to pay any more attention to Di Tian.
At the same time, Yan Zhang, accompanied by Yan Yuwei, descended from the void and sat in the main seat, while Yan Yuwei stood respectfully to the side.
"Thank you all for giving me face to attend this birthday banquet..." Yan Zhang looked down, a smile on his face, and said a lot of words of thanks.
"Haha, Ancestor Yan Zhang, please don't be so polite. It is an honor for us to attend your birthday banquet."
"Yes, others want to participate, but they can't!"
The powerful figures from various factions all spoke up, exchanging polite words.
"Then please enjoy the birthday banquet in peace." Yan Zhang was very satisfied with these polite words, so he patted the table. Then, one by one, women carrying jade trays walked in. On the jade trays was a fruit. The fruit was golden and surrounded by colorful light, shining brightly. It was obviously not an ordinary fruit.
"This is... this is the Spirit-Nurturing Fruit!" Someone recognized the fruit and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Spirit-Nurturing Fruit!
The powerful figures in the arena were equally shocked upon hearing this.
Because this Spirit-Nurturing Fruit, if consumed, can enhance Divine Power, spark inspiration, and deepen understanding of cultivation. Such a Spirit-Nurturing Fruit fruit is quite expensive outside. For Yan Zhang to use it to entertain them is incredibly extravagant!
