Outside, there were some small disciples saying that the Sect Leader had arrived. Inside the hall, hundreds of disciples wearing blue and white robes stood up to welcome the group.
Sect Leader was supported by two of his disciples, his hair white and his footsteps unsteady. Compared to three years ago, he seemed to be aged seven or eight, but his spirit was still considered good, and the expression on his face was not too obvious.
Behind him, Sect Leader Zuo Tianxing was still dressed in black. He had a strong build and had a stern expression on his face, as if someone owed him a lot of silver.
Xiao Ziyang was also there. Compared to Zuo Tianxing's old-fashioned Xiao Ziyang, whose elegant clothes were the true bane of the three, his appearance caused Chang Ge's eyes to light up, as if ten thousand lanterns were lit, while at the same time, it seemed like fireworks.
Only, when she saw Xiao Ziyang holding the treasured sword in one hand and the little disciple's hand in the other, the luster in her eyes instantly dimmed, and the place beside him no longer belonged to her, Gu Changge.
The three leading figures of Qinghua had finally arrived. As the three of them took their seats, so did the disciples.
Among them, other than some of the older disciples that Chang Ge did not know, there were also famous people like Mu Hong, Yin Lele, Ning Ruqing, Lu Hengsheng and Ling Feiyan. Dongfang Yu was considered to be their guest as he sat with them.
Yin Lele winked at Zhang Ge, causing Zhang Ge to smile back, but seeing unhappiness in Ling Feiyan's eyes, she turned her head back.
Xiao Ziyang's disciple, Su Qimeng could be considered a special case as she was sitting on the same high seat as Xiao Ziyang.
Zhang Ge's heart was even more uncomfortable, but Su Qimeng could only watch her smile, giving him a very comfortable feeling. She was gentle and quiet, making it difficult for Zhang Ge to vent his anger, and could only sigh.
Why did he sigh?
Bai Ze began to pour and drink by himself before the audience even started, smacking his lips to express his dissatisfaction with Qing Hua's wine.
Longsong glanced at him and said, Where's the pear blossom white you brought? Drink them all?
He couldn't bear to drink it. Bai Ze spat out four words before lifting his wine cup to take a sip, and slightly knitted his brows.
Zhang Ge could only sneakily pour a bottle of Pear Blossom Wine from the Stone Cauldron into his cup. Bai Ze was overjoyed, and openly kissed her forehead, but his action of reaching the limit of his touch made the entire hall completely silent.
Soon enough, the hall was filled with buzzing sounds of conversation. Zhang Ge had thought that he was always at a place where he was inconspicuous, but it turned out that these people were all looking at him either intentionally or unintentionally.
When he finally mustered up the courage to look up, he saw that Xiao Ziyang's palm was pressed against Su Qimeng's back, as if channeling Innate Qi into her. Could it be that this Su Qimeng really had some sort of serious illness …
He felt that someone was looking at her, so he turned his head and saw that Mu Hong was staring at her without moving. His expression was somewhat unhappy, and his face was half black.
While he was lost in his thoughts, the hall once again fell into silence.
Seated on the high seat, Sect Leader Qinghua said while leaning back on his chair: For today's banquet, firstly, I welcome Sir Bai Ze who has travelled far to come here, and secondly, I thank you for helping me, Qinghua, to kill the demon Meng Xuanzi at Taiye City.
Meng Xuanzi died?
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Ge felt that it was within his expectations. Meng Xuanzi had committed many evil deeds, and his death was not worth regretting, not to mention that he had fallen into the hands of a respectable sect like Qinghua Sect.
Bai Ze gave a small touch to Zhang Ge and stood up: Sect Leader is being too polite, I'm sure you can say that.
Zhang Ge also stopped what he was doing, stood up and bowed towards Li Weng with his wine cup, then followed Bai Ze's example and drank all the wine.
Li Weng, however, did not drink, and laughed as he placed the cup on the table: This old one can't take the alcohol anymore, I didn't expect that the talented young man would have such a good drink, it seems that you have learnt a lot from Xuanqi Taoist.
If it had been anyone else, they would have tried to get away with it, but Chang Ge was not someone who liked to attract attention. She wished that no one would notice her, and only smiled: It was just protection and fitness.
Li Weng didn't give her a chance to keep a low profile. To be able to eliminate Meng Xuanzi by himself, wasn't that what Miss Gu meant by being modest?
Dongfang Yu cupped her fists and replied: It was last October.
Yes, last October, Yu'er met Meng Xuanzi on the mountain. At that time, it was Sect Protecting Lin who went to rescue her.
Sect Protecting Lin Qi raised her wine cup and laughed gently: At that time, I nearly lost myself in an illusion as well.
Zhang Ge saw him toasting to him and quickly drank with him: Sect Protecting Lin is too kind.
Bai Ze secretly sang a long song, then started to bite her ears: What a great art, if I had known earlier that leaving the island would cause so much trouble, I would have tied you up to the Pear Tree.
What Bai Ze said could be accomplished, but when he said that he was unable to defeat, Changge could only explain in a low voice: I coincidentally made it in time … I don't know why...
Bai Ze coldly snorted and did not speak any further. Instead, the two of them whispered amongst each other, attracting the attention of the Sect Protecting's Wang Ya Rong.
It was hard to avoid gossip if she was a girl. She asked with a smile, "After so many years, Changge has already grown up. Is this Master Bai the young master of Changge?"
Changge's face blushed and she quickly shook her head, "No, no. Why would Master Bai fall for me?"
Which one of those beauties in the flower pavilion weren't his sweetheart? She, Gu Changge, still wanted to live a few more years to protect herself.
Bai Ze was also generous: I have thought about it for many years, that since it is already time for marriage, I hope that seniors, especially Ziyang, can be my matchmaker.
As soon as he finished speaking, the female disciples' faces turned rosy. More or less, they couldn't help but look at him with half of their eyebrows raised, hoping to attract his attention.
Bai Ze was a handsome young man, he should be the lover of many young women. Chang Ge faintly felt that Dongfang Yu's position in the hearts of the female disciples was about to be shaken.
Xiao Ziyang intentionally or unintentionally looked at his disciple, how could he forget about it? Back then, at Yuanshi Heavenly Sovereign's place, Daoist Master Xuan Qi jokingly told him to betroth his disciple to Bai Ze, but his disciple was still young, this was not what he was worried about.
Look, Xiao Ziyang can't bear to see this. Bai Ze whispered into Chang Ge's ear.
Zhang Ge was startled, then looked at the doting look in Xiao Ziyang's eyes, and could not help but feel pain in her heart: Right, it seems that you and Immortal Lord's disciple are engaged.
If you are unwilling, I can break the engagement.
Bai Ze's warm breath was tickling her ear, and he could not help but pull back his neck.
