Their Arrival Shocks Everyone
Take out the letter inside.
Li Yunjing then began reading from the beginning.
[Qianxue, it's like seeing you in person...]
Upon reaching the end, Li Yunjing let out a breath and put the letter back into the envelope.
"Master, oh Master, why didn't you realize this sooner!" Li Yunjing murmured to himself.
This letter is an apology from Nangong Chengyu.
Wang Qianxue and Nangong Chengyu had a big fight back then, and afterwards they never spoke to each other again.
In fact, from the contents of the letter, Li Yunjing learned that Nangong Chengyu had actually regretted it a long time ago.
However, Nangong Chengyu was too proud to apologize to Wang Qianxue in person.
Later, Nangong Chengyu decided to write a letter, which is the letter that Li Yunjing has in his hands.
Nangong Chengyu plans to use the letter to reconcile with Wang Qianxue.
Before the trust was even given to Wang Qianxue, Nangong Chengyu fell seriously ill.
This matter was thus delayed.
Nangong Chengyu originally planned to give the letter to Wang Qianxue after he recovered from his illness.
Who would have thought that this illness would take Nangong Chengyu's life?
Therefore, the letter was never delivered to Wang Qianxue.
If it weren't for Li Yunjing's sudden urge to pay respects to Nangong Chengyu,
It is estimated that this letter will not see the light of day for a long time.
Li Yunjing felt sad for his master.
Li Yunjing carefully tucked the letter away from his body and quickly tidied everything up.
After leaving the thatched hut, Li Yunjing kowtowed several times towards Nangong Chengyu's grave before turning back to the Luozhen Sect.
Not long after, Li Yunjing returned to the Luozhen Sect.
Everyone busied themselves preparing for the Foundation Establishment Banquet that was about to begin.
As time goes by,
Soon, it was almost noon.
The guests who came to keep their appointment all arrived at the Luozhen Sect.
As the sect leader, Li Yunjing received each of these people.
At this moment, the people from the Departing Maple Sect arrived.
Led by Su Zhen, a total of eight people from the Departing Maple Sect arrived.
Su Zhen is the sect leader. Of the other seven, three are elders of the Departing Maple Sect, and the remaining four are True Disciple of the Departing Maple Sect.
Li Yunjing was surprised.
Many people came from the Departing Maple Sect, and each of them was of considerable status.
This shows that the Luozhen Sect attaches great importance to it.
Unlike other forces, they might be able to attract a sect leader or family head.
That means they value the Luozhen Sect.
Some even sent only an elder or a young man.
Li Yunjing stepped forward to greet him.
"Sect Leader Su's presence is an honor to our Luozhen Sect," Li Yunjing said, bowing.
Su Zhen laughed heartily, "Sect Leader Li, you're too kind. The Departing Maple Sect and the Luozhen Sect have always been on good terms. Now that Sect Leader Li has successfully Foundation Establishment, the Departing Maple Sect naturally cannot afford to be indifferent."
After saying that, Su Zhen also presented Departing Maple Sect's congratulatory gift.
Li Yunjing had several disciples take away the congratulatory gifts, and then personally led the people from the Departing Maple Sect to the martial arts arena to sit down.
The banquet was held at the martial arts training ground.
The training ground is large enough to accommodate many people.
Seating arrangements were naturally made according to the person's rank.
The more prestigious one's status, the closer one's seat is to the center.
As soon as Su Zhen sat down, he pulled Li Yunjing aside and said:
"Sect Leader Li saved several of my disciples a few days ago, and I, Su, would like to express my gratitude to Sect Leader Li on their behalf."
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Of course."
Su Zhen wanted to continue speaking, but at that moment, someone else arrived.
Su Zhen gestured for Li Yunjing to go about his own business.
The person who arrived at this moment was Luo Qiyuan, the manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Li Yunjing was quite surprised to see Luo Qiyuan.
He thought that Treasure Gathering Pavilion was at most only as good as Li Mingjie.
Unexpectedly, it was the manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion who came in person.
"Senior Luo." Li Yunjing quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Luo Qiyuan said with a smile, "Congratulations!"
Following the same procedure, Li Yunjing had several disciples take away the congratulatory gifts.
He then took Luo Qiyuan to the training ground.
Inside the training ground, the guests who had already arrived all stood up when they saw Luo Qiyuan.
"Shopkeeper Luo, how have you been?"
"Shopkeeper Luo, how have you been lately?"
"Shopkeeper Luo..."
Everyone greeted Luo Qiyuan one by one.
Luo Qiyuan responded with a smile to each of them.
Luo Qiyuan was well-liked, and for some reason, these people treated Luo Qiyuan with great respect.
They saw Luo Qiyuan and Li Yunjing chatting and laughing.
Everyone present was astonished.
Luo Qiyuan has been a hands-off manager for a long time.
It is rumored that he has been preparing to Core Formation.
I never expected to attend the Foundation Establishment Banquet of the Luozhen Sect.
This caused many of the guests present to abandon their dismissive attitude towards Li Yunjing and the Luozhen Sect.
Li Yunjing hadn't even exchanged a few words with Luo Qiyuan.
More people arrived.
"Sect Leader, a second-grade Alchemist has arrived!" Zhang Hanpeng ran over and shouted to Li Yunjing.
These words were heard by everyone in the training ground.
Upon learning that he was a second-grade Alchemist, everyone present widened their eyes.
There are only a handful of second-grade Alchemist around Xunxian Town.
Who does Li Yunjing know?
Li Yunjing was overjoyed; it was Ding Qifeng who had arrived.
After apologizing to Luo Qiyuan, Li Yunjing immediately went to greet Ding Qifeng.
Sure enough, outside the Serene Valley, Ding Qifeng slowly approached with two alchemy boys.
"Uncle Ding," Li Yunjing stepped forward to greet him.
Ding Qifeng nodded with a smile.
"It's been a long time since I've been here; this place has changed from what I remember."
Li Yunjing led Ding Qifeng into the Serene Valley, laughing as he said:
"The Luozhen Sect has changed a lot. Uncle Ding, why don't you stay a little longer after the Foundation Establishment Banquet?"
Ding Qifeng looked at Li Yunjing, as if he had guessed Li Yunjing's little thoughts.
"Alright, I'll stay a little longer, as you say." Ding Qifeng was in a good mood and readily agreed.
Li Yunjing immediately grinned.
The fish has taken the bait.
After Ding Qifeng had experienced the Alchemy Chamber,
Li Yunjing refused to believe that Ding Qifeng was unmoved by the Luozhen Sect.
Upon arriving at the martial arts arena, all the guests immediately turned to look at Li Yunjing.
Upon seeing Ding Qifeng standing next to Li Yunjing, everyone's eyes widened and they all stood up.
Even Luo Qiyuan was no exception.
Luo Qiyuan, Su Zhen, and representatives from other sects and Lineage came over one by one to greet Ding Qifeng.
Ding Qifeng waved his hand impatiently.
"I'm not the Alchemist character today, so why are you all coming to see Alchemist?"
These words finally made everyone disperse and return to their seats.
"Uncle Ding, please have a seat," Li Yunjing said.
Ding Qifeng sat down directly, then gestured for Li Yunjing to go about his business.
After Li Yunjing left, there were quiet discussions in the training ground.
"Sect Leader Li actually addresses Alchemist Ding Uncle Ding. Are these two really that close?"
"Appearances can be deceiving; I never imagined that Sect Leader Li was so capable."
"First it was Sect Leader Su, then Shopkeeper Luo, and then Alchemist Ding. Everyone Sect Leader Li knows is a big shot around Xunxian Town."
We used to think the Luozhen Sect was in decline, but it turns out even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse; we were all wrong.
"..."
Li Yunjing was unaware that the attitudes of many guests in the martial arts arena had subtly changed.
Most of the invited people have already arrived.
Only one person has not yet arrived.
Wang Qianxue.
Wang Qianxue will definitely come.
To express Wang Qianxue's high regard,
Li Yunjing specially came to wait outside the mountain gate.
About fifteen minutes later, Li Yunjing noticed three streaks of light rushing towards him from the distant horizon.
Before long, the rainbow light landed in front of Li Yunjing.
The rainbow light dissipated, revealing Wang Qianxue, Huo Junrui, and a deacon from the Immortal Alliance whom Li Yunjing did not recognize.
Li Yunjing immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Deacon Wang, it is a great honor for the Luozhen Sect to have you attend this banquet."
Wang Qianxue smiled and then introduced the two people beside her to Li Yunjing.
"You already know this one. This is Li Jie, the newly arrived deacon of the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance."
Li Yunjing and his entourage paid their respects.
Li Jie stepped forward and patted Li Yunjing on the shoulder.
"You did a very good job regarding the bandit leader incident."
Li Yunjing was somewhat puzzled.
However, neither Wang Qianxue nor Huo Junrui said anything; they just smiled.
"Let's talk about it after the Foundation Establishment Banquet. Right now, the Foundation Establishment Banquet is the most important thing," Li Jie said with a smile.
