In their eyes, Li Yunjing no longer seed like a peer; instead, he was more like a high-status elder!
"Hahaha! We are all friends here! Everybody loosen up, make yourselves comfortable, eat and drink well. There are other friends over there I need to attend to!"
Seeing their tension, Li Yunjing patted Fang Yuxuan on the shoulder and said to the group.
"Yes, Young Master Li, you go ahead! Don’t worry about us!"
Fang Yuxuan smiled, but his attitude was even more respectful than before.
In the midst of light music and graceful dancing, with the lodic sound of the zither and the lilting notes of the jade flute, Li Yunjing clinked glasses with Fang Yuxuan and the others, then prepared to move on to the next table to offer a toast.
"Alright! Enjoy yourselves!"
Li Yunjing smiled, then took Yu Yunyi with him as they moved towards Ma Xingyuan’s table.
"Young Master Li! Senior Sister Yu!"
Seeing Li Yunjing approach, Ma Xingyuan, Yue Zhouwang, Hou Boyan, and Wang Yun were all thrilled. They stood up from a distance, their faces flushed with excitent.
"Hahaha! We’re all old friends here! Relax! I’m just bringing your sister-in-law over to see you all!"
Li Yunjing laughed heartily. Seeing these old friends brought back many mories, making him reminisce about the past.
Yu Yunyi rolled her eyes at Li Yunjing; this guy was becoming more and more unreserved.
"Let’s have a drink together!"
Li Yunjing hugged Yu Yunyi, raised his glass, and said to these old friends.
"Cheers!"
Ma Xingyuan, Yue Zhouwang, Hou Boyan, Wang Yun, and the others raised their glasses in excitent, clinking glasses with Li Yunjing and then downing their drinks in one go.
No one had expected that the Young Master Li they knew would beco so formidable.
Not only did he cultivate at an astonishing speed, but his combat prowess was also unparalleled. Remarkable indeed!
And the fact that he still rembered them made them all feel both excited and honored.
For Ma Xingyuan and the others, knowing soone as exceptional as Li Yunjing was their greatest honor.
"Yes! Everyone, keep cultivating diligently. If you need anything, send a ssage. I will help whenever I can!"
After chatting with his old friends for a while, Li Yunjing concluded.
When Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Yang Wenzheng finished offering toasts around the room, they returned to the East Tower, taking their seats.
In the East Tower, there were six tables, all occupied by Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators and true disciples. These were prominent figures within the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
Apart from mbers of the Yu Family and Fu Family, most were from the inner circles of Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.
Only a few were newer acquaintances.
These new acquaintances were either introduced by friends or sought out to connect with Li Yunjing’s group.
After all, it was clear to everyone that the small team consisting of Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, Fu Chao, Yu Zongzhe, Yang Wenzheng, and Yang Wen Yue had a bright future ahead. Each one was a true disciple candidate.
This team, combined with several established true disciples, was quite formidable, and no one could ignore their presence.
Returning to the East Tower, the atmosphere beca much more relaxed.
Here, everyone’s status was more or less on par, so the conversations flowed freely without any sense of restraint.
At this mont, Li Yunjing finally had the ti to take a good look at the sumptuous dishes that cost 3000 low grade spirit stones.
The abundance of dishes on the table made Li Yunjing very satisfied.
The dishes were top-tier Tier One and Tier Two spiritual materials, including demon beast flesh, spirit plants, and spirit dicine.
The dishes were personally prepared by a Tier Two chef from the East Splendor Tower, boasting great color, aroma, and taste, while preserving and even enhancing the spiritual power within.
Because they were waiting for Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Yang Wenzheng to return, the remaining four at the table—Fu Chao, Yang Wen Yue, Yu Zongzhe, and a true disciple in the Foundation Establishnt Realm—had not touched their chopsticks.
When Li Yunjing and the others returned, everyone finally started eating, and after trying the dishes, they couldn’t help but praise the excellent flavors.
Such delicious food made Li Yunjing eat a bit more than usual. He then remarked, "Such delicious food is indeed worthy of its price!"
"Hehe, Brother Li, you really went all out this ti."
Yang Wenzheng smiled a little sheepishly.
This ti, he was also one of the hosts nominally, but Li Yunjing ended up paying for the entire event.
This made him feel a bit embarrassed.
However, it was impossible for Yang Wenzheng to foot a third of the bill anyway, as he simply didn’t have that many spirit stones!
Yang Wenzheng’s inco had long been spent on buying top-notch materials to concoct magical artifacts.
"No need to be polite! Li Yunjing made a big windfall recently! These spirit stones are nothing to him!"
Lv Ruoxi glared at Li Yunjing as she unceremoniously picked up so food with her chopsticks, stuffing it into her small cherry mouth and chewing vigorously, as if taking out her anger on Li Yunjing through the food!
"Hehe..."
Seeing Lv Ruoxi’s gnashing expression, Li Yunjing couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. He had no idea what had driven this woman mad today, making her target him specifically.
By the looks of it, this woman wasn’t being chard by his handso appearance or exceptional talent.
To Li Yunjing, Lv Ruoxi was an enigma, soone impossible to understand.
Li Yunjing indeed kept his distance from Lv Ruoxi, not daring to provoke her!
In fact, just like Li Yunjing, including Fu Chao, many of the sect’s elite, as long as they weren’t driven by carnal desires, nobody dared to pursue Lv Ruoxi.
