I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

Zuihuanlou is located next to the square and is an exclusive restaurant built by the sect for its true disciples.

Disciples may enter the room for leisure and banquets during their free time from cultivation.

However, the prices inside the building are extremely high, to the point that they are outrageous.

Inside the restaurant's main hall, Shangguan Yue, Hu Xu, and other disciples sat at various tables, discussing the upcoming sect exchange meeting.

The atmosphere in the hall was lively, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, creating a vibrant scene.

During the gathering, someone loudly invited Shangguan Yue to share a cup of spirit wine.

Out of consideration for everyone, Shangguan Yue couldn't refuse, so she immediately raised her cup and drank the spirit wine in one gulp.

Two blushes instantly spread across that stunningly beautiful face, adding a touch of allure.

"good!"

A thunderous cheer erupted in the hall.

Lu Zhuang, seated in the main seat and dressed in an elegant brocade robe, also clapped with a smile.

"This wine is called Fire Ant Wine. Its liquid is fiery red and intense, with a fierce and domineering effect. It's truly remarkable that Junior Sister Yue could drink it all in one gulp!"

Hu Xu's gaze was fixed on Shangguan Yue's slightly raised jade neck and delicate collarbone, and he was momentarily distracted and unable to look away.

Shangguan Yue raised her hand to lightly wipe the corner of her lips and quickly declined in a soft voice.

"Please forgive me, Senior Brother Lu. I am not a good drinker, so this one cup is enough for me."

Lu Zhuang is the head of the sect's true disciples, and even without the backing of a powerful family or clan, he is still respected by many.

In addition, Lu Zhuang was kind and humble, and had an excellent reputation, so Shangguan Yue always respected him.

"Senior Sister Shangguan is too modest. Why don't you have another drink?"

"Senior Sister, you've always been so generous; three cups of spirit wine are nothing to you!"

The surrounding disciples kept urging her to drink, and Shangguan Yue looked somewhat embarrassed, unsure of how to refuse.

However, at that moment, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone shut their mouths, their expressions turning cold.

Shangguan Yue was slightly startled and subconsciously turned around to look.

Lin Feng is here!

Lin Feng lowered his eyes, digesting the various information about the sect exchange meeting.

This grand exchange was spearheaded and hosted by Xuanhuang Academy and lasted for three months.

Within the Xuanhuang Prefecture, all forces, large and small, are welcome to send their outstanding disciples to participate in the conference, exchange ideas, and learn from each other.

However, the conference has strict restrictions, only accepting prodigies with a bone age of thirty or younger.

During the three months of the exchange program, all the deans and top mentors of Xuanhuang Academy will take the stage to impart knowledge, answer questions, and provide guidance.

After the exchange period ends in March, a martial arts competition will be held to test all the disciples' training and learning, and to determine the final rankings.

Disciples who rank high on the list will receive generous rewards from the Xuanhuang Academy.

Lin Feng had long heard of the illustrious reputation of Xuanhuang Academy.

The students who graduate from this academy are all exceptional talents, one in a million, and they all have the opportunity to govern a city, rule a state, or even take charge of a region in the future.

However, the academy's assessment is extremely rigorous, and even among the core disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect, very few can pass successfully.

He is now a disciple of the Hundred Refinements Sect and has long since given up the idea of ​​joining the Xuanhuang Academy.

However, being able to observe and learn through this exchange meeting is also a good thing for him.

"Senior Brother Luo, please take a seat. We've been waiting for you at the table!"

As soon as Luo Cheng appeared, many of his true disciples came forward to greet him with great enthusiasm.

In contrast, Lin Feng, who was right behind him, was ignored as if he were invisible.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, his mind still absorbed in the information from the exchange meeting, unaware of the coldness around him.

He went straight up, found an empty seat, and sat down calmly.

But as soon as he sat down, the faces of many disciples at the table instantly darkened.

Although the banquets at Zuihuanlou do not have strict written rules, they do have a tacitly established order of cultivation and social status.

Lu Zhuang, Shangguan Yue, and a group of Martial Core Realm prodigies occupied the core seats at the banquet.

Hu Xu and other top disciples at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm were located in the inner area.

The other disciples took their seats in order of their cultivation level.

Disciples with low cultivation levels are only fit to sit on the edge.

As a newcomer like Lin Feng, according to the sect's rules, he was not entitled to sit down and could only stand aside.

"Hmph! This new disciple truly doesn't know the slightest bit of etiquette!"

Hu Xu already harbored resentment towards Lin Feng because of Shangguan Yue, and at this moment he immediately mocked him coldly, his face showing impatience.

One of the more hot-tempered disciples slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily.

"Lin Feng, only disciples at the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm or above are qualified to sit in the seat you are occupying!"

"You're just a newbie, how dare you sit here? You've got some nerve!"

His voice was like thunder, causing the entire restaurant to tremble slightly.

Startled by the noise, Lin Feng glanced up and glanced at the source, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Can't I sit here?"

When he first entered the sect, he was indeed unaware of these unspoken rules.

"It's not that you can't sit if you want!"

"Hand over the Radiant Star Pavilion obediently. With your meager cultivation, no matter how hard you train, you won't get a spot in the exchange meeting. Why bother occupying a superior cave dwelling?"

The disciple crossed his arms, his face contorted with sarcasm and a menacing air.

These words, like a dam bursting, instantly ignited the thoughts of everyone present.

The disciples, who had long harbored jealousy towards Lin Feng for monopolizing the Radiant Star Pavilion, seized the opportunity to launch their attack.

"That's right! What makes you so special that you possess such a top-tier cave dwelling as the Shining Star Pavilion?"

"We might let it go on a normal day, but now that the exchange meeting is just around the corner, you still won't back down. That's incredibly selfish!"

"We are attending this meeting to bring glory to our sect. If you insist on monopolizing it, you are disregarding the overall interests of the sect!"

"Junior Brother Lin, a wise man knows when to yield. If you step back today, we can still drink and chat as fellow disciples. Otherwise, you might not be able to sit comfortably at this banquet."

Some people deliberately labeled Lin Feng as unjust, while a few others, with good intentions, stood up to defend him.

Regardless, Lin Feng had made great contributions to the sect and should not be targeted and ostracized by everyone.

"Kid, let's see how you get out of this!"

Hu Xu picked up his wine glass and took a sip, staring at Lin Feng with a playful look in his eyes, his eyes full of smugness.

Shangguan Yue stood to one side, sighing inwardly.

She saw through it all. What everyone said seemed high-sounding and selfless, but in reality, they were driven by selfish motives and coveted Lin Feng's Yaoxing Pavilion.

Within a sect, strength ultimately determines who is superior.

Those with weak cultivation are destined to be arbitrarily suppressed by the strong.

Such a private dispute is not something others should interfere with; Lin Feng himself must resolve it.

"He probably can't save Yaoxing Pavilion..."

Shangguan Yue shook her head inwardly, having already foreseen the outcome.

Lu Zhuang and the other top geniuses at the Martial Core Realm shared the same thought, and none of them intervened.

To them, this was nothing more than a trivial matter between younger generations, not worth mentioning.

Just when everyone in the room was convinced that Lin Feng would be forced to back down and hand over Yaoxing Pavilion, he suddenly stood up slowly.

His gaze sharpened as he swept across the room, a cold smile curving his lips.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings like you would only make a laughingstock and embarrass yourselves if you went to the exchange meeting!"

He had no intention of causing trouble, but trouble came knocking on his door, and he was not afraid.

"Whoosh!"

The entire restaurant erupted in chaos instantly.

All the true disciples stared in disbelief at Lin Feng, dumbfounded.

No one could believe that such arrogant words came from the mouth of a newly recruited disciple.

"What did he just say? That we veteran disciples are all good-for-nothings? Did I hear that right?"

Some people took a long time to recover, muttering to themselves in shock.

"Lin Feng! You are far too arrogant and presumptuous!"

One of the true disciples suddenly stood up and angrily rebuked him.

"Among the senior brothers present, in terms of aptitude and cultivation, which one of you isn't far superior to you?"

"This is Senior Brother Hu Xu, whose cultivation has already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!"

"This man in white is Senior Brother Lin Chen, one of the top three strongest disciples below the Martial Core Realm!"

"And then there are Senior Brother Chu Han, Senior Brother Yun, Senior Brother Zhou... each and every one of them is a leader in the sect!"

He pointed to the numerous disciples with powerful auras sitting at the table, announced their identities, and sneered, "They are all top figures among the true disciples. Are they also considered trash in your eyes?"

Chu Han, Lin Chen, and the others who were named all had dark expressions and looked angry.

Lin Feng's words and actions were far too arrogant.

Even a top expert like Lu Zhuang, who is at the Martial Core Realm, has never been so arrogant as to openly provoke his fellow disciples.

The entire audience wore icy expressions, their gazes fixed intently on Lin Feng, filled with indifference and anger.

"This person... truly doesn't stop until he says something shocking."

Shangguan Yue was also dumbfounded, then shook her head and sighed in disappointment.

"I thought he was a promising talent with a calm and steady temperament, but I never expected him to be such a reckless and brainless person."

"Having offended all my fellow disciples this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this Drunken Pleasure Pavilion unscathed today."
