A Junior with Lofty Ambitions

Zhao Wutong took Li Cangxuan's hand and followed Xiao Qingyi into the kitchen.

This scene brought smiles to the faces of Lu Qing'an and the others.

It's quite interesting to watch young people fall in love.

Lu Qing'an glanced at Xue Tianfei and transmitted his voice, "Little Xuanzi has arrived as well. You can send a message to Zhou Ningtian and the others, asking them to come over here."

Upon hearing this, Xue Tianfei nodded, walked to the side, took out Sound Transmission Jade Slip, and sent a message to Zhou Ningtian.

With Zhao Wutong's help this time, Xiao Qingyi's cooking speed was more than ten times faster, and the meal was ready in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"Dinner's ready!"

Zhao Wutong carried the dishes to the center of the courtyard, where tables and chairs had already been neatly arranged.

With so many people eating together, there's naturally not enough room for everyone.

Lu Qing'an looked at Xiao Qingyi and transmitted his voice, "It's over so quickly? Why not give the two young people more time to interact?"

Xiao Qingyi replied helplessly, "You don't know Wutong's knife skills are exceptional, and her control over the heat when cooking is just as good as mine. I couldn't help it, I got competitive and competed with her, but I didn't expect to forget about the important matter while we were competing!"

Lu Qing'an: "..."

You spoke quite well just now, and now you're even calling yourself a professional.

Xiao Qingyi was slightly embarrassed; most importantly, he had actually lost to this child!

Ugh, my cooking skills got completely outmatched!

Lu Qing'an looked at Zhao Wutong, who had transformed into a little cook, and then at Li Cangxuan helping out from the side, and shook his head with a smile.

That's alright.

This girl seems really nice.

"Come, everyone, take your seats." As the host, Lu Qing'an beckoned to Dao of Alchemy Master, Bai Shanshan, and the others, arranging seats for them.

A group of people stepped forward, laughing.

Finally, when all the delicacies were placed on the large round table, Lu Qing'an and the others chose their seats.

Lu Qing'an naturally deservedly sat in the main seat.

Xue Tianfei sat to his left, Lu Zixuan sat to his right.

Lu Miaomiao took good care of Bai Shanshan, sitting next to Bai Shanshan, who was also next to Xue Tianfei.

Li Cangxuan and Zhao Wutong naturally sat together.

To make up for his disappointment in the kitchen, Xiao Qingyi squeezed closer to Li Cangxuan, bringing Li Cangxuan closer to Zhao Wutong.

At Xiao Qingyi's urging, Xu Xuanyu cooperated and had Sun Minzi Xiao Qingyi Zhao Wutong.

So much so that in the end, the two of them were sitting so close together.

Their cheeks flushed again.

"Alright, eat up! Those who can drink, drink more!" Lu Qing'an said with a smile.

The group of people nodded and smiled.

The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant, and laughter filled the air as Lu Qing'an occasionally added to the mood.

Until three people landed outside the courtyard.

Everyone paused briefly and looked outside.

Zhou Ningtian and his family of three arrived.

The three stood outside the courtyard gate and could see a large group of people sitting in the middle of the courtyard. They were shocked by the scene before them.

"Why are there so many people..." Zhou Ningtian glanced at the group of people sitting and eating over there and found that half of the continent's top experts were here.

Zhou Ningtian's wife, Jiang Pingxia, also swallowed hard.

Both of them looked at a young man in his early twenties standing in the middle.

This person is Zhou Ningtian's son, Zhou Xiachen.

"Chen'er, do whatever I tell you to do. Remember, restrain your personality and don't think that just because you also possess the Eternal Night Emperor Position, you can one day achieve something comparable to the Eternal Night Demon Emperor! Even if you really think that way, you must not show it!" Zhou Ningtian said again through telepathy.

He was well aware of his son's situation; as a top-tier genius, he possessed his own pride.

But this is not the place to show off your arrogance!

Just look at their lineup!

They are all top-tier individuals who have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

Zhou Xiachen's expression was similar to Zhou Ningtian's, with little change, almost like he had a blank expression, but you could see the arrogance in his eyes.

"Father, don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Zhou Xiachen replied.

"Alright! Come in with me." Zhou Ningtian took a deep breath and led his wife and child inside.

Upon entering the courtyard, he bowed respectfully towards Lu Qing'an from a distance, saying, "Eternal Night Demon Emperor, we've come to keep our appointment!"

Lu Qing'an said calmly, "Come on over, we're eating right now, let's have a meal together."

Without the Eye of the Yellow Springs of the Yellow Springs Sect, his little cotton-padded jacket could not have awakened that special ability.

"Okay!" Zhou Ningtian forced a smile onto his face and led his wife and children closer.

"Please sit over there," Lu Qing'an said.

"Alright!" Zhou Ningtian nodded, then quickly looked at his son and transmitted his voice, "Quickly greet the seniors."

Zhou Xiachen nodded, looked at Lu Qing'an and the other Peak Great Emperor Realm experts present, and cupped his hands, saying, "Junior Zhou Xiachen greets all seniors."

Xiao Qingyi smiled and said, "This child is quite brave. Okay, have a seat."

Compared to Bai Shanshan, Xia Chen seemed to have much more courage this Zhou Xiachen.

You could also say that this child has a bit of pride.

I believe I can become as powerful as them in the future.

This is actually a good thing.

The three of them sat down.

Lu Qing'an continued to lead the atmosphere and set the pace, and the group happily enjoyed a lively banquet.

After finishing his meal, Lu Qing'an turned to look at his apprentice Li Cangxuan.

"Little Xuanzi, do you have any plans to take on disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Li Cangxuan was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Zhou Xiachen.

He had known for some time that Zhou Xiachen had obtained the same Eternal Night Emperor Position title as his master after breaking through to the Emperor Realm, and this news had already spread throughout the Demon Domain.

Seeing Zhou Ningtian and his family of three arrive today, he thought he might have another junior brother. Now, upon hearing this, he was a little taken aback.

"Master, do you mean I should take him as my disciple?"

These words stunned Zhou Ningtian and his family of three.

Lu Qing'an nodded. "I don't have time to teach any more apprentices. This kid has good talent, and he seems to have quite a temper. He's ambitious and talented, so with a little guidance, he'll achieve great things in the future."

He had seen many geniuses, and to put it more like Versailles, geniuses were merely the threshold to his door. He could tell with just one glance that Zhou Xiachen was definitely the kind of person who had both ability and temper.

Bai Shanshan's arrival here clearly showed her great fear of them, while Zhou Xiachen was much younger than Bai Shanshan, and his strength had already broken through to the Late Great Emperor Realm under the effect of the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus, making him slightly stronger than Bai Shanshan. Yet, he showed no fear when facing them, which shows that this kid has high aspirations.

Ambitious geniuses are prone to developing into two extremes: either becoming extremely powerful or dying.

He was ambitious back then, so it's reasonable to say that Zhou Xiachen was able to obtain the Eternal Night Emperor Position just like him.

Li Cangxuan carefully examined Zhou Xiachen, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

Since his master has spoken, he'll give it a try!

He had never taught any apprentices, but Zhou Xiachen was indeed a rare gem.

Lu Qing'an smiled and nodded.

In the process of teaching apprentices, one can also gain something, and he hoped to see Li Cangxuan gain something from it.

However, right after the two finished speaking, Zhou Xiachen suddenly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Seniors! I think this is inappropriate."

After he said that, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
