Chapter 315: The Start Of Fenghua Banquet

But if he really wants to give me a surprise…

Why doesn’t he acknowledge that I’m here. He instead keeps talking to the young person beside him.

“I have never seen the exchanges amongst these juniors. However, the young people now are extraordinary. It’s especially so for a girl called Lou Qianxue, whom I had met a few days ago. She’s really impressive.” Although he didn’t show it on her face, Master Huo talked to Gong Sunheng very respectfully.

Gong Sunheng, who was originally calm and indifferent, raised his eyebrows and became interested when he heard this. “Oh? Lou Qianxue? How’s she impressive?”

While the two of them conversed, they saw Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao enter.

Master Huo immediately pointed at Lou Qianxue and excitedly said, “It’s her. That young lady looks immature, but…”

Gong Sunheng listened to him with a smile. However, Master Huo was completely unaware that the invitation Gong Sunheng had asked him to prepare for a ‘Lou Xiaoxiao’ was for that girl beside Lou Qianxue.

He was even more unaware that Gong Sunheng actually understood Lou Qianxue better than him.

As time passed, more and more joined the banquet.

The Fenghua Banquet was a banquet for young people who fought amongst themselves, and it was not an official banquet for a martial contest. Therefore, it had no host. Everyone would find an opponent to have an exchange with and directly invited them for a duel.

It was just the start of the banquet, yet some people had already started to fight.

Moreover, these fights attracted exclamations and cheers from time to time.

At the center of the garden, there was a round table. Three young people sat beside the round table and observed the duels while having tea and chatting.

Not far away, Third Young Master took a few glances at the fights and sneered with disdain. “They can become geniuses amongst the younger generation in Fengyang prefecture with this standard. How ridiculous! Is there no one in our Fengyang prefecture?”

The three people having tea could not help themselves from glancing at him when they heard these words.

Upon sensing it, Third Young Master looked back and raised his eyebrows as he sneered.

However, his eyes revealed a strong battle intent.

This was because those three people were the top three from the Fenghua Banquet of the previous year: Hong Qinghe, Yang Feng, and Mu Wuxin.

“This Third Young Master is really unpleasant.”

“He? We’ll see later. It’s not the time to act now.”

Right now, it was the time for the people at the bottom ranks. They were just fighting on a small-scale.

When it was time for the three of them to act, it would be the real duel. They would definitely attract the crowd’s attention at that time.

Suddenly,

“Look, look. Young Master Yang and Mu Wushuang are on the stage!”

“The two alchemy geniuses from our Fengyang prefecture are finally having a match!”

Young Master Yang and Mu Wushuang had just stepped on the stage, and they hadn’t even started. Yet, they had already attracted the attention of everyone in the entire place. Some of the people stopped their duels. They went back to their seats one after another as they planned to watch this fight.

Young Master Yang Yan’s face was arrogant as usual. With his jaw slightly raised, he appeared high and mighty. He disdainfully looked at Mu Wushuang and said, “Mu Wushuang, you and I are both alchemy geniuses in Fengyang prefecture. We’ve also become third-grade alchemists together. People love to compare the two of us the most. Why don’t we compete today and see who’s more impressive?”

Mu Wushuang glanced at Master Huo. When she realized that he was looking at her, her face revealed a tinge of joy. “Alright. Frankly speaking, I also hate others for comparing me to you.”

“Don’t worry.” Young Master Yang was extremely confident. “I’ll defeat you in front of everyone, including your Master, and let the world know that you’re simply not qualified to be compared to me.”

“Humph. It just so happens that I feel the same.”

As the two of them spoke, the atmosphere between them became explosive.

Upon seeing this, Hong Qinghe, who had been the number one in the Fenghua banquet for years, revealed a tinge of interest on his face. “One of them is your brother, Feng Shao, while the other is your sister, Wuxin. Now that they are having a match, aren’t you two worried?”
