Candidates and Saints were the idols of the younger generation in the Ancient Saint State. Feng Lingye looked at Xiao Chen expectantly, waiting for his answer. He was a little nervous and a little excited at the same time.
Not just the others, even Feng Lingye wanted to fight with Xiao Chen. Although he knew that he was no match for Xiao Chen, Feng Lingye also wanted to see how big the gap was between him and Xiao Chen. After all, after coming to the Tianhe Continent, Feng Lingye had not slacked off in his cultivation.
Facing Feng Lingye's expectant gaze, Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded happily. "Okay, then you make the arrangements. I will go when the time comes."
In the end, he agreed to Feng Lingye's request. Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. They didn't dare to disturb Xiao Chen too much and quickly left. But before leaving, Feng Lingye told Xiao Chen that there was no need to prepare anything. The martial gathering would be held in three days, and it would be held in the Azure Lake Restaurant.
Since the Heavenly Wind Sacred Sect had the Cool Breeze Inn, the Jade Lake Sacred Sect naturally had the Jade Lake Restaurant as well. It was one of the favorite places for the disciples of the Jade Lake Sacred Sect. Of course, the price of the Jade Lake Restaurant wasn't something that ordinary disciples could afford.
It was very expensive, but this time, for the sake of Xiao Chen, the ten direct disciples had joined forces and booked the entire Azure Lake Restaurant for the martial gathering in three days.
When the news spread, it naturally set off an uproar in the Azure Lake Holy Sect. All the disciples wanted to participate and see the Holy Son of the Ancient Holy Sect with their own eyes. Unfortunately, the Azure Lake Holy Sect had more than 100,000 disciples, so it was naturally impossible for all of them to participate. In the end, the ten direct disciples discussed together and decided on a thousand spots. They would choose the participating disciples through invitation letters.
There were only a total of one thousand spots and one thousand invitation letters. For a time, these one thousand invitation letters became the hottest thing in the Azure Lake Holy Sect. Apart from the ten direct disciples, all the other disciples dreamed of these invitation letters. They didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to obtain one.
Three days wasn't a long time, and in these three days, the one thousand invitation letters were quickly snatched up. Of course, almost all of them were taken by the core disciples. Only a small number of ordinary disciples were lucky enough to obtain these invitation letters.
The spots had been confirmed, so the disciples with the invitation letters came to the Azure Lake Restaurant early in the morning, impatiently waiting for the martial gathering to begin. As for the disciples without an invitation letters, they didn't give up and directly surrounded by Azure Lake Restaurant.
For a time, the entire Azure Lake Restaurant was packed with people. Time slowly passed, and at dusk, the ten direct disciples of the Azure Lake Holy Sect also arrived. Everyone was waiting for Xiao Chen to appear.
Time passed by minute by minute. In the restaurant, the one thousand disciples were anxiously waiting. It was during this anxious wait that suddenly, a burst of exclamations came from outside the restaurant. Hearing the sound, the ten direct disciples and the one thousand disciples with the invitation letters immediately came outside the door. From afar, they saw Xiao Chen, who was dressed in an ordinary white robe, slowly walking through the crowd towards the Azure Lake Restaurant.
Although he was surrounded by people all the way, Xiao Chen appeared to be at ease. Moreover, from the beginning to the end, no one was able to get within three meters of Xiao Chen.
Just like that, Xiao Chen slowly walked toward the Azure Lake Restaurant. Looking at Xiao Chen, the faces of the ten personal disciples revealed a look of longing. This kind of demeanor was probably something that only the Chosen and the Chosen could possess.
The ten direct disciples all revealed longing looks, but there was one person who didn't have much of a change in her eyes. There was even a faint trace of disdain in her eyes.
This person was also one of the ten direct disciples of the Azure Lake Holy Sect. Her name was Ji You. She was a young girl and ranked seventh among the ten direct disciples of the Azure Lake Holy Sect.
Unlike the others, when facing Xiao Chen, although Ji You tried her best to show her longing and admiration, it was all just on the surface. At least, there was a clear difference between her and the others.
Passing through the crowd, Xiao Chen arrived in front of the ten direct disciples. He smiled and nodded at Feng Lingye, then said, "I thank everyone for your kindness."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the head of the ten direct disciples of the Azure Lake Holy Sect, Zhang Boyun, respectfully replied, "The Holy Son is too polite. To be honest, it is a great honor for us to be able to see the Holy Son's demeanor."
As the head of the ten direct disciples, Zhang Boyun naturally became the representative of everyone. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Then, accompanied by everyone, Xiao Chen entered the Azure Lake Restaurant like a moon surrounded by stars.
The Jade Lake Restaurant had obviously made some preparations for today's martial gathering. After passing through the front hall, they arrived at the main courtyard. At this moment, tables and chairs had already been set up in the main courtyard. Furthermore, there was an arena right in the middle, which was obviously for everyone to spar with.
Everyone took their seats according to the order of their seats. Xiao Chen naturally sat at the same table as the ten direct disciples, right in front of the arena. It was also the best spot.
A beautiful maid served wine and side dishes, and the banquet began. However, the banquet seemed a little uneasy, perhaps because of Xiao Chen. Moreover, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Chen. Some of the female disciples couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen with glowing eyes. It felt as if they wanted to melt Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He glanced at the ten personal disciples at the same table and said with a smile, "Don't worry.
"Everyone, there's no need to be like this. Just be normal. If you're too restrained, this banquet will be tasteless."
Xiao Chen also didn't like this feeling. Hearing this, Zhang Boyun was the first to regain his senses. He took the initiative to raise his cup and said, "What the Prospective Saint says is right. In that case, let us toast to the Prospective Saint."
Everyone raised their cups and downed it in one gulp. As the wine went down their stomachs and Xiao Chen didn't give off the slightest feeling of arrogance, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
It was especially so for the table that Xiao Chen was sitting at. The ten personal disciples were not ordinary people either. After getting over their initial nervousness, they chatted with Xiao Chen about everything under the sun.
Of course, the ones who spoke the most during this period were Xiao Chen and Feng Lingye. It was also because Feng Lingye and Xiao Chen were old acquaintances that when the seating arrangements were made, Feng Lingye was arranged to sit on Xiao Chen's right, while Zhang Boyun sat on Xiao Chen's left. As for the others, they were seated according to their rankings.
