CHAPTER 238
After Tang Jin and Peng Lai Zi landed, the people below quickly made way for them. Even the tables and chairs were moved away.
They slowly walked forward until they reached a place closest to the high platform. Penglai Zi raised his hands to his ears and clapped them a few times. Several disciples of Penglai Immortal Palace flew over from not far away and moved tables and chairs over. One after another, people began to serve food and wine.
The tables and chairs of Tang Jin's group were certainly different from those of the others. The tables and chairs of the others were only made of high-quality sandalwood. However, the tables and chairs of Tang Jin's group were made of top-grade Black Sea Wandering Dragon Wood. Even the tablecloth was made of golden thread. The wine and dishes on the table were all of the best quality. It could be said that there were all kinds of exotic delicacies on the table. They took good care of Tang Jin's group.
Tang Jin sat in the main seat, with Penglai Zi on his left, Chu Lian on his right, and then Lo Cheng. As for the four elders of Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang, as well as Zhang Ming, they stood behind Tang Jin and Lo Cheng. No matter what the two said, they refused to sit at the table. In the end, they just let them be.
"Little Wang Ye, what do you think of these things?" After gesturing at the things on the table, Penglai Zi asked Tang Jin beside him, "If you don't think it's good, I'll ask them to change it again. Little Wang Ye rarely comes to my Penglai. You have to have fun. If there's anything that my Penglai Zi doesn't treat you well, Little Wang Ye, please bear with it. "
Penglai Zi's seniority was enough to be Tang Jin's ancestor. He was even much older than Tang Jun Ge. Now, he could talk to Tang Jin as an equal and even talk to him in a humble tone only because of the power behind Tang Jin and the Zhang Ming brothers who were now standing behind Tang Jin. However, the world was like this. Some people were born with a golden spoon in their mouths. They held great power and enjoyed endless glory and wealth. Some people had to suffer for a lifetime. In the end, even their death was looked down upon. Power and backing were also part of strength. At least because of this, Tang Jin made Penglai Zi, whom the world looked up to, bow his head. This was enough.
"Haha, Little Wang was born in the palace. What haven't I eaten? What haven't I played? What I eat is secondary. The main thing is the old mister's kindness. That's enough. " Tang Jin smiled and said to Penglai Zi first. Then, he turned his head and said to Chu Lian on the other side, "You eat more. You still can't fast. Tell me what you want to eat. I'll get it for you."
Chu Lian's cultivation was only at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm. There was still a long way to go before she could fast in the Gold Core Realm. She still needed to eat grains to supplement her nutrition.
"En." After answering softly, Chu Lian lowered her head in embarrassment. Sitting and eating with Penglai Zi, the ancestor of Penglai Immortal Palace, was something that Chu Lian had never thought about and dared not think about. It should be known that Penglai Zi of Penglai Immortal Palace was a legend of their righteous faction. He was a god-like figure. Penglai Immortal Palace was also the pillar of the righteous faction. She did not expect that she could eat with her on an equal footing today.
Moreover, Zhang Ming, his brother, and the four elders of Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang also stood behind the crowd and did not take a seat. The representatives of the righteous factions in the surrounding sects kept looking at them. Under the gaze of so many seniors, if it were not for Tang Jin pulling her, she would not even dare to sit down. How could she eat calmly? Chu Lian was afraid that she would not even dare to move her chopsticks, let alone pick up the food.
Tang Jin seemed to see Chu Lian's predicament. He smiled, picked up the chopsticks and put a few dishes in Chu Lian's bowl. Then he put the chopsticks in Chu Lian's hand and patted Chu Lian's shoulder, indicating that she should eat normally. After that, Tang Jin turned his head to look at Penglai Zi and said, "Today, thanks to Mr. Penglai Zi, who came out in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that it would really lead to a tragedy. After all, we are still a little bit wrong. However, Mr. Penglai Zi not only did not pursue us, but also entertained us like this. It really makes us feel ashamed. "
Tang Jin felt ashamed? This time, he came to Penglai Immortal Palace to cause trouble. He wanted to show his power to Penglai Immortal Palace and achieve his goal. It could be said that all of this was under Tang Jin's control. Even when Penglai Zi came out to stop him later, Tang Jin had already predicted it. Tang Jin said this just to give Penglai Zi a way out.
As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling person. Tang Jin called him Mr. Penglai Zi and admitted his mistake. His attitude was so sincere even when his side had the advantage. It could be said that he gave Penglai Zi enough face. Shouldn't he accept the face he gave? Tang Jin had already said so. If he made a request later and Penglai Zi refused, it would be really shameless. It would force Tang Jin to be angry.
"Little Prince, what are you saying? What are you saying?" After listening to Tang Jin's words, Penglai Zi felt very comfortable. However, his tens of thousands of years of life experience still made him feel that something was wrong. He quickly evaded, "In fact, we are also wrong. This …"
"Everything is in the wine! Needless to say, everything is in the wine. Cheers! " Tang Jin did not let Penglai Zi finish his words. He quickly raised his glass and clinked it with Penglai Zi's. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, making Penglai Zi unable to continue.
Penglai Zi was stunned and felt that something was wrong. However, Tang Jin was powerful. Everything today was in Tang Jin's hands. Penglai Zi felt that it was difficult to advance or retreat. In desperation, he could only smile bitterly and drink the wine in his glass with Tang Jin to show his sincerity.
After being disrupted by Tang Jin, the coronation ceremony of Hua Zhonglou as the Young Palace Master had to start anew. Filled with indignation, Hua Zhonglou walked down again. He bowed every three steps and knelt every nine steps as he walked up the stage. Xue Qianren also recited the glorious history of Penglai Immortal Palace and Hua Zhonglou's glorified deeds. However, his tone was not as passionate as before. Instead, it was as emotionless as if he was reading a textbook.
Well, anyone who had been slapped in the face by Tang Jin would not have any passion anymore.
The process of the ceremony was once again interrupted by Tang Jin. Xue Qianren placed the long purple ruler in his hand on Hua Zhonglou's head and said solemnly, "Hua Zhonglou's wish since he was young has been to bring glory to Penglai Immortal Palace and the righteous path of our sect! To bring glory to the righteous path of the world. Facts have proven that he has been working hard for this for so many years … Therefore, after a discussion among the higher-ups of Penglai Immortal Palace, we have unanimously decided to confer Hua Zhonglou as the Young Palace Master of Penglai Immortal Palace! "
Hua Zhonglou raised his head and solemnly extended his hands to take the long purple ruler from Xue Qianren's hand. He said loudly, "I, Hua Zhonglou, hereby swear! I will dedicate my life's efforts to Penglai Immortal Palace and the righteous path! I will do my part for the righteous path and for the people of the world! I will bring glory to Penglai Immortal Palace. I will have no regrets in this lifetime! "
"Good!" Xue Qianren nodded and gently helped Hua Zhonglou who was still kneeling on the ground. He said softly, "Zhonglou, you must remember that your home is in Penglai. Your roots are also in Penglai. Penglai is our life. Penglai is our glory! For the glory of Penglai, we will die for a misunderstanding! "
"Zhonglou will remember!"
At this moment, the crowning ceremony of the Penglai Immortal Palace was officially over. Everyone present heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, halfway through the crowning ceremony, everyone was on tenterhooks. They were afraid that Tang Jin would do something strange or go crazy and disrupt the crowning ceremony. Then, she would kill all of them. If that happened, they would have nowhere to cry.
The most nervous ones were Xue Qianren and Hua Zhonglou. Now that the ceremony was over, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and saw the heavy relief and … hatred in each other's eyes.
Tang Jin had slapped them in the face today. Not only did he humiliate them, but he had also humiliated Penglai Immortal Palace. After today, Penglai Immortal Palace's status in the Sect Region and even in the Immortal Fighter Continent would definitely decline. And all of this was because of Tang Jin. The people of Penglai Immortal Palace were so proud of Penglai. Tang Jin's actions would definitely cause the people of Penglai Immortal Palace to hate him.
However, what was the use of holding a grudge? They would not be able to take revenge for the rest of their lives, nor would they dare to take revenge. For some people, be it hate or love, they could only be imagined. To Tang Jin, these were worthless and she did not care at all.
"Hehe, you must be bored, right? I have seen it dozens of times. It is the rule left by the ancestors. I have no choice but to let Little Wang Ye be bored. " Penglai Zi smiled and said to Tang Jin, "The crowning ceremony is over. Little Wang Ye, it is not easy for you to come to Penglai Immortal Palace. Why don't you stay for two more days?"
Penglai Zi did not directly ask Tang Jin to stay. Instead, he asked, "Why don't you stay for two more days?" It was as if Tang Jin had already said that he wanted to leave. How was this asking him to stay? This was clearly chasing Tang Jin away!
How could Tang Jin not understand Penglai Zi's intention to send him away? However, if Tang Jin was so easy to send away, he would not be Tang Jin.
Chuckling, Tang Jin got up and said to Chu Lian, "Chu Lian, what do you think of the Penglai Immortal Palace? It is passable, right? "
Passable? The Penglai Immortal Palace was the number one blessed land in the sect region! It was better than the Luo Hou Demon Palace by a bit. Was it just passable?
"Hm … Ah? No no no, it is very good, very good. " At first, Chu Lian did not react. She only responded softly, but after she reacted, she quickly changed her words.
Ignoring the fact that the Penglai Immortal Palace was very good, even if it was not, Chu Lian would not dare say that it was not good in front of Penglai Zi. Of course, if it was Lo Cheng, it would be different. This was also why Tang Jin asked Chu Lian and not Lo Cheng.
"Very good? Since you like it, Chu Lian, and Mister Penglai Zi wants us to stay, we will stay here for two more days. " Tang Jin got up and stretched her waist. She lazily said to Penglai Zi, "Old Mister, then find us a few rooms. They have to be in the same courtyard. The scenery is better. We will play here for two days."
Penglai Zi stared dumbfoundedly at Tang Jin. The heavens took pity on him. He really was just being polite out of habit. He did not expect that … Tang Jin would have the nerve to do this.
Actually, even if Penglai Zi did not say this, Tang Jin would still find an excuse to stay. The matter was not finished and the goal was not achieved. How could Tang Jin leave?
"Okay, okay …" Words that were said were like water that was poured out. If he did not say it out loud, Penglai Zi really did not dare to force Tang Jin to leave. It was fine if the two of them were reasonable. Even if they could not convince Tang Jin, Penglai Zi would at most suffer a little loss. But if they were to use force … the Zhang Ming brothers behind Tang Jin were really not to be trifled with.
Tang Jin and his group were arranged to stay on a subsidiary mountain next to Mount Penglai. The mountain was very high above sea level, surrounded by clouds and fog, and shady trees. A small courtyard was built on the top of the mountain.
There were ten rooms in the courtyard. Tang Jin and the others could have one room each. It was completely enough.
"Tang Jin," Everyone sat around the stone table in the courtyard. Lo Cheng drank tea and enjoyed the scenery. His mouth was not idle. He said to Tang Jin, "When will you tell Penglai Zi?"
"Tomorrow," Tang Jin slowly drank tea and said unhurriedly.
