Sword Tomb wields his sword a billion times, to marry Li Hanyi!

"Master Ji, what do you mean by this?!"

Ye Hua looked at Ji Ruofeng with a gloomy gaze.

"What do I mean? Elder Ye Hua, why don't you ask yourself what you mean?"

Young Master Li is here to attend my wedding banquet! Isn't it only natural for me to greet him?

Elder Ye Hua, however, went to great lengths to ask me whether my behavior of welcoming guests to my wedding banquet was inappropriate.

"Does it mean that I, Ji Ruofeng, need Elder Ye Hua to teach me how to do things?" Meeting Ye Hua's gloomy gaze, Ji Ruofeng was also filled with anger.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have invited the people from Wushuang City to his daughter's wedding banquet!

"Hmph! All the martial arts practitioners here are here! Yet, Master Ji has never personally greeted any of us!"

Even highly respected seniors were greeted by Master Ji's subordinates.

But it turns out that Young Master Li and Miss Li from Sword Heart Tomb were personally greeted by Hall Master Ji. Could it be that Hall Master Ji believes that none of us in the martial arts world are as important as Young Master Li and Miss Li from Sword Heart Tomb?! " Ye Hua was publicly humiliated, dragging everyone in the martial arts world into the mess, and wanted to use the words of the crowd to demand justice from Ji Ruofeng.

As his words fell, many martial arts figures voiced their doubts: "Master Ji, Elder Ye Hua is right. It was indeed inappropriate for you to personally receive two juniors."

"Do you all think the same way Elder Ye Hua of Wushuang City, that I'm disrespectful for not personally welcoming you?" Ji Ruofeng looked at those who followed Ye Hua's lead with an unfriendly expression.

"The facts are right in front of us! Unless Hall Master Ji gives a reason, it's disrespectful to us guests!" Ye Hua said, squinting his eyes.

"Fine, fine! Since you all think I'm disrespecting you, then I, Ji Ruofeng, am disrespecting you, so what?"

"If you're not satisfied, then leave this Misty Rain Pavilion! I, Ji Ruofeng, will pretend I never invited you all!" Ji Ruofeng was, after all, the head of a hall; how could he act timidly and allow himself to be pointed at and criticized?

So, if you feel disrespected because I didn't personally greet you, then leave!

You're not welcome here either!

"Hmph! Fine, let's go! Without the support of my Wushuang City, would your Baixiaotang be able to thrive in this martial world?"

From this day forward, no member of the Hundred Knowledge Hall shall be permitted to appear in Wushuang City!

Seeing that they had already turned against him, Ye Hua decided to go all the way and cut off all contact with Bai Xiaotang.

He also plans to organize an organization to gather information from all over the world.

"Indeed, it's better not to attend this wedding banquet!" Some members of the smaller factions echoed Ye Hua's sentiments and then got up to leave.

Even more shockingly, Old Master Tang from the Tang Clan was among them!

Ji Ruofeng's pupils constricted slightly when he saw that the Tang Clan members had also left.

Honestly, did he really treat the guests at the wedding banquet differently?

Perhaps so, but in the future, the world will be in turmoil with Li Jianyi at the center of the storm, so how can Baixiaotang bypass Li Jianyi?

Therefore, the situation now and in the future revolves around Li Jianyi, and Bai Xiaotang naturally wants to pursue the center of this future storm.

Therefore, he felt he hadn't done anything wrong because of Bai Xiaotang!

Furthermore, the people Kenshinzuka sent to the wedding banquet were two children. What was wrong with him, as an elder, welcoming two children?

And they didn't treat everyone else differently? They're just two friends' kids!

After the Tang Clan members left, many others followed suit and left the Misty Rain Pavilion. Ji Ruofeng took a deep breath: "Everyone, is anyone else leaving? If not, then the banquet will begin..."

"Hey! Master Ji, wait a minute! I just arrived! Is your banquet already over?"

Just as Ji Ruofeng was about to announce the start of the banquet, Wang Yixing hurriedly appeared in the Misty Rain Pavilion, pulling Zhao Yuzhen along with him.

"Master Wang? Master Zhao? Did Qingcheng Mountain also send you two little fellows?" Ji Ruofeng was taken aback when he saw Wang Yixing and Zhao Yuzhen suddenly arrive.

"Yes, it just so happens that my junior brother and I are traveling around Qingzhou, so our master sent us a letter to attend Master Ji's wedding banquet," Wang Yihang replied.

"I see. Then, please take your seats, Daoist priests! The banquet hasn't started yet!" Master Ji hurriedly greeted Wang Yixing and Zhao Yuzhen in the same manner he had greeted Li Jianyi earlier.

After witnessing this scene, the guests finally understood that Master Ji was not disrespecting Ye Hua at all; it was simply a senior showing special care for a junior.

It was Ye Hua and his ilk who judged a gentleman by their own petty standards!

At the banquet, Wang Yihang and Zhao Yuzhen glanced at the guests and noticed Li Jianyi and Li Hanyi were also there. They quickly pulled Zhao Yuzhen to sit next to them and said with a smile, "Young Master Li, it's truly fate that we meet again! Since we parted at Sword Heart Tomb, it's been so long!"

"Yes, Master Wang and Master Zhao, how have you been?" Li Jianyi smiled.

"Of course! Let me tell Young Master Li about my tortuous and thrilling experiences in the martial world these past few days!" Wang Yixing chuckled.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuzhen rolled her eyes: "What thrilling and dramatic martial arts experience? It's clearly just a series of tragic incidents of being chased from north to south!"

"Hey, junior brother, what nonsense are you spouting? Don't talk, let me tell Young Master Li about my exciting experiences in the martial world these past few days!" Wang Yixing pushed Zhao Yuzhen aside and began to speak eloquently.

It was at this time that some more people came in from outside, such as the Wen family's Wenhu wine, a top-ranked expert!

Wang Rensun and others from the Tianshan Sect!

After seeing Li Jianyi, Zhao Yuzhen, and others, they chose to sit at Li Jianyi's table.

Before long, almost everyone from the martial arts world who was supposed to come had arrived.

Upon seeing this, Ji Ruofeng immediately announced the start of the banquet, telling everyone to enjoy the feast.

period,

Those who arrived at Yanyu Tower later, including Wen Hujiu, looked at Ji Ruofeng with suspicion: "Hall Master Ji, when we arrived, why did we see that the people from Tang Sect and Wushuang City had already left?"

"this……"

Ji Ruofeng sighed and recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Wen Hujiu's eyes widened: "The people of Wushuang City and Tang Clan are really petty! Just because Hall Master Ji greeted the two little ones, they feel they haven't been respected?"

When those people from Wushuang City made things difficult for my nephew Baili Dongjun at Mingjian Manor, they didn't even give me a second thought of warming a pot of wine! Show me some respect!

And those people from the Tang Clan, who boast that they are the best at using poison in the world, have never shown any respect to my Wen family or any other rogue cultivators who are masters of poison!

So, this trivial matter ruined the whole gathering! It's like a few bad apples spoiling the whole bunch!

After saying that, Wenhujiu unhappily opened a bottle of wine and gulped it down.

Upon hearing this, the other guests also felt that the people from Tangmen and Wushuang City were being petty. It was clearly a trivial matter, yet they had to make such a big deal out of it.

This made Master Ji's banquet neither successful nor unsuccessful.

"Let bygones be bygones, Master Ji. We raise a glass to you! Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, Master Ji!"

The guests who witnessed Ji Ruofeng welcoming the two young Taoist priests from Qingcheng Mountain raised their glasses to congratulate him.

Ji Ruofeng happily returned the favor one by one.

After the toasts were finished, the casual conversation began.

Lei Jing raised his wine glass and stood up from his seat, frowning slightly as he said, "Master Ji, today is supposed to be your joyous day, and I shouldn't be saying these things, but I still want to remind you."

"Please speak freely, Vice Sect Master Lei Jing!" Ji Ruofeng said nonchalantly.

"The actions of sects like Wushuang City and Tangmen may threaten the future status of Baixiaotang, and it is very likely that they will unite to form an organization similar to Baixiaotang! At that time, it may threaten Baixiaotang's status in the martial arts world!" Lei Jing said worriedly.

"Threatening the status of Baixiaotang? Vice Sect Master Lei Jing is overthinking it. At most, it just means that my Baixiaotang will be unable to develop in the territory of Wushuang City and Tangmen."

"At worst, I'll just give up those two areas." Ji Ruofeng thought Lei Jing was overthinking it.

"But what if the people from Tangmen and Wushuang City persuade the aristocratic families and sects in other regions, as well as the imperial court, to also prohibit the disciples of Baixiaotang from appearing in their respective territories?" Lei Jing expressed his greater concern.

After all, Wushuang City is backed by the imperial court and is known as the number one martial arts city in the world. Tang Clan also has great prestige in the Sichuan region. If they join forces with the imperial court to resist Baixiaotang, then Baixiaotang will probably disappear from the martial arts world very soon.

"this……"

Upon hearing Lei Jing's words, Ji Ruofeng's expression darkened.

Clearly, Lei Jing's words made a lot of sense, which put him in a difficult position.

The root cause of the conflict wasn't him, but the people from Tang Sect and Wushuang City. So, do you really want Ji Ruofeng to back down? Wouldn't that mean Bai Xiaotang would be at their mercy from now on?

Thinking of this, Ji Ruofeng couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "If the imperial court also opposes Baixiaotang, then I will have no choice but to disband Baixiaotang."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

If the imperial court were to take action, they would likely find it difficult to continue supporting Ji Ruofeng.

After all, no matter how powerful a martial arts force is, it is difficult to contend with the army or the imperial court.

Of course, this doesn't mean the situation is doomed to failure!

If the backer behind Bai Xiaotang is more authoritative and more intimidating than the imperial court, then Wushuang City, Tang Clan, and the imperial court are nothing to fear!

"Master Ji, you don't need to worry too much about the Tang Clan and Wushuang City. If necessary, you can consult Mr. Li of Jixia Academy in Tianqi City!"

"Because I think Mr. Li will probably help you, Master Ji!" Just when everyone felt helpless against the court, Li Jianyi pulled himself away from Wang Yixing's eloquent speech and gave Ji Ruofeng advice.
