Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 131: Challenge Lu Xueqi?
According to underworld practices and etiquette procedures that have been almost universally used for thousands of years.

After all the guests were seated, at this moment, he became the person in charge of Trinity Sect.

Xu Zhiqiu should stand up and say a few words as an opening remark.

The guests knew that he was about to start speaking, so they stopped chatting one after another and waited for him to speak.

Standing in the courtyard, Master Xu gave the guests an awkward smile.

He looked a little nervous, his hands unconsciously pinching the corner of his clothes.

It seems that he is not very comfortable making impromptu speeches in front of a large crowd.

But fortunately, he prepared the manuscript.

So he took out a small notebook from his pocket.

“Dear friends, colleagues, and guests. Today is a great day. Thank you.
You are able to take time out of your busy schedule to come and show your support.”

“Here, on behalf of everyone at Trinity, I would like to extend my sincerest welcome and best wishes to every guest present here!”

Xu Zhiqiu read the speech he had prepared last night. After he finished the opening remarks, he had just finished the first part.

So, I turned the page in the little notebook in my hand and read the next one.

"Pooh."

My hands are a bit dry...

His eyes were fixed on the paper of the second article, and he stared at it with a frown for a long time.

Everyone was puzzled and wondered why it stopped.

But I heard him muttering quietly:
"I can't even recognize the handwriting myself."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed and thought that Master Xu was quite humorous.

Is it funny?
Little did they know that the horror was yet to come.

Xu Zhiqiu continued, transforming into a heartless reading machine—

"We know very well that the path of cultivation cannot be achieved by one person alone. It requires the support of thousands of fellow practitioners..."

Then, one, two, and three, each one was 1,500 words long.

The guests began to realize that something was wrong.

"The foundation of our Trinity School is based on the philosophy of 'harmony between man and nature, following the laws of nature', and devoting ourselves to exploring the mysteries of heaven and earth and benefiting all living beings."

"The establishment of a sect today is not only a tribute to the past sages, but also an expectation and prospect for the future path of cultivation."

“We are willing to work hand in hand with all of you colleagues to build a harmonious and prosperous world for the cultivation world, let the light of righteousness shine throughout the world, and make the path to immortality broader.”

"At the same time, I also hope that Sany Gate can become the most trustworthy partner of all of you in the future - brackets (in various senses) brackets end - let us jointly protect this hard-won peace and tranquility! In addition, I have to say a few more words..."

At this time, Wu Chongguang walked up to his side and coughed slightly:
"Master, that's enough. Someone has fallen asleep."

"Ok?"

Xu Zhiqiu took a look and felt quite unhappy. He had no choice but to change the subject:
"Uh, well... Finally! I wish this founding ceremony a complete success. May everyone on the path of cultivation have a firm heart and make progress in cultivation, so that we can all embark on the supreme path to immortality together!"

He closed the small notebook and put it in his arms.

Finally, he bowed deeply to the guests:
"thank you all!"

"..."

There was a long silence.

"it is good!"

I don't know who started it, but it finally became lively.

Clap clap clap clap!
"Well said!"

"Master Xu said it very well."

Although the applause was forced, it was continuous and woke up many people who were sleepy.

Finally finished, right?
Countless people secretly wiped a cold sweat, thinking that this guy is incredible!

Some people don't understand:

"That's great! I didn't remember a word he said."

Some people are still terrified:
"I have been practicing the Zen of not sleeping for eighty years, but he almost broke it."

…………

Then the banquet started, and the servants who were temporarily hired came in one after another to serve wine and dishes.

The chef Xu Zhiqiu had hired in advance from Shanhaiyuan in Heyang City had superb cooking skills.

There were eight kinds of cold and eight kinds of hot dishes on the table, including steaming, frying, stewing and boiling, which were all delicious and fragrant. Even if there were guests who were averse to meat, Xu Zhiqiu had taken them into consideration.

For example, the table at Puhong’s was filled with tea and vegetarian dishes, which showed how much effort was put into it.

The first seat at the top,

Lu Xueqi's attention was immediately attracted by a plate of exquisite snacks on the table in front of her.

Thanks to her childhood experiences, Lu Xueqi was very familiar with it.

It was a plate of lychee cakes, pink and small, and looked very appetizing.

She turned her head and looked around, and found that among all the tables around, only hers had the same situation.

And, as luck would have it, it was placed closest to her.

With her intelligence, she guessed after a little thought that this must be someone's special care for her.

So, I gently picked up a piece and put it in my mouth to chew.

The taste is soft and sticky, sweet but not greasy.

It tasted almost exactly like what he had done back then…

No, that's what he did too.

Glancing at her senior sister and master beside her, Lu Xueqi's cheeks inexplicably turned slightly red.

She took cover of the table, quietly took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, dipped her fingertips in the wine, and wrote on it.

Just two words – delicious.

Then he quietly put the paper back into his sleeve.

"..."

I felt a little unnatural, as if I were a thief.

……

Xu Zhiqiu naturally didn’t know.

He was talking with Puhong at the moment, and it seemed that the two of them were having a very pleasant conversation.

Although the party was lively, most people were just chatting in their own small circles.

After all, none of the monks present were greedy for food and drink.

Many of them even practice long-term fasting, so no one really cares whether the banquet is good or not.

But with this lively platform where many big names gather, there are always people who are good at socializing.

Or they would say a few nice words to the host to get good luck, or they would find ways to let their apprentice take the opportunity to show off and pave the way for their future.

As for performance skills, that is inevitable.

From time to time, someone would stand out from the crowd and perform some strange and bizarre skills.

But most of them came from second- or third-rate sects, or were simply independent cultivators.
Each of their spells is of low quality and the methods they use are not very impressive, so they can just be used to entertain everyone.

Until Lu Fang from Fenxiang Valley, for some reason, also became interested and discussed with his disciple Li Xun:

"Junior Brother Li Xun, why don't you go up there and demonstrate our Fenxiang Valley's methods to Sect Leader Xu and the seniors present?"

Perhaps what he said hit the nail on the head, Li Xun nodded happily.

"In that case, I will go up there."

As he spoke, Li Xun leaped up and landed in the courtyard like an eagle.

Even the top disciples from Fenxiang Valley came on stage to perform.

This undoubtedly attracted the attention of almost all the guests in the venue, and everyone wanted to see the methods of this famous disciple.

However, Li Xun did not follow the usual path.

He first bowed to Xu Zhiqiu, Puhong, and Shuiyue respectively.

Then he said loudly to the audience:
"It's too boring to watch alone. Why not ask someone else to help me? That way, all the seniors and fellow practitioners can enjoy the show to their heart's content."

As soon as these words were spoken, some people immediately joined in the booing.

"That's right! It's more interesting when two people fight. What's the point of just one person making gestures?"

"Who would Young Master Li like to invite to compete in martial arts with you?"

Li Xun smiled.
"I am not talented, but I would like to ask..."

As he spoke, he looked towards the seat above:
"Junior Sister Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak of Qingyun Sect, may I honor you with my presence?"
