The seemingly ordinary family banquet was actually surging. Monarch Yu succeeded in setting the tempo.
This made everyone in the Long family view Xiao Chen with hostility and coldness.
Xiao Chen found it a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it.
In the banquet, when Lan Luo's big brother saw the situation develop to this point, he shook his head and did not say anything.
"Long Yan, while I'm not around, have you neglected the cultivation of the Long family disciples?"
When the family banquet was about to end, the Soaring Dragon Marquis looked at Lan Luo's eldest brother and asked in a serious tone.
"My Long family has been famous for our bravery since the founding of the dynasty. We have never dared to forget the teachings of our ancestors. Father, you can check at any time. The disciples of the Long family have never slacked off, nor do they dare to slack off. "
Long Yan answered calmly and confidently.
Draco nodded his head in satisfaction. "A person's innate talent and comprehension are different from birth. Comprehension cannot be forced. I will never force it. My Long Family can have trash, can have trash bodies, but we cannot have lazy people. "
The Soaring Dragon Marquis's gaze shifted to Long Yan as he continued, "After the family banquet, I will conduct an inspection at the drill grounds. Anyone who passes my eyes will be rewarded. On the contrary, I will not punish you. I will only punish you, Long Yan. "
Long Yan gladly accepted the order, not caring about these somewhat demanding conditions.
The Long Family disciples heard the Soaring Dragon Marquis's words. Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.
Everyone had a competitive heart. Coupled with the fact that he would receive a reward from his father, it was hard for him not to be excited.
"Monarch Yu and Xiao Chen, come along as well."
The Soaring Dragon Marquis invited as he looked at Xiao Chen and Monarch Yu. His tone was relaxed and seemed easygoing, but there was a hint of irrefutability in it.
"My pleasure. My father has always told me that the Soaring Dragon Marquis has a strict upbringing. After standing in the north for so many years, I definitely have to take a good look. "
Monarch Yu smiled faintly and dealt with the situation easily.
Xiao Chen thought for a while. He was prepared to leave after the family banquet.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis's invitation put him in a difficult position.
"Xiao Chen, Luo 'er told me about your matter. I contacted the Hidden Spirit Temple's abbot last night. They will send people to bring little monk Yan Chen back. At the same time, they will convey my thanks to you. The Hidden Spirit Temple owes you a favor. "
The Soaring Dragon Marquis seemed to have guessed what Xiao Chen was thinking.
Hua!
These words immediately shocked the disciples of the Long family, and they revealed expressions of extreme disbelief.
Monarch Yu's words had already caused their impression of Xiao Chen to plummet. They now felt that he was just a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the Central Great Realm.
He didn't belong to any sect, so there was no need to treat him too well.
There were too many people like this.
In the entire Great Thousand Realms, everyone took pride in being in the Central Great Realm. This was the center of the Martial Epoch. The four dynasties and the many empires dominated the direction of the entire Martial Epoch.
As the descendants of the Yanwu Dynasty's Soaring Dragon Marquis, they were very proud. There was no need to criticize them.
After all, they had the capital to do so in the first place. After leaving the Central Great Realm, no matter where they went, they would receive the highest treatment.
However, the Soaring Dragon Marquis's casual words made them flabbergasted.
The abbot of the Buddhist sect's Hidden Spirit Temple, who did not care about worldly matters, actually said that the Hidden Spirit Temple owed Xiao Chen a favor.
Not to mention how strong the abbot was, the Hidden Spirit Temple itself was an existence that surpassed Rank 7 sects. Its history was even longer than that of a dynasty.
To think that such a Holy Land owed Xiao Chen a favor. How could they not be shocked?
At the same time, they felt dissatisfied in their hearts. How could such a person make the Hidden Spirit Temple owe him a favor?
Everyone here was a proud person. When they suddenly heard these words, they could not help feeling competitive.
Even Monarch Yu's calm expression changed slightly. As he looked at Xiao Chen, his expression turned strange.
"Master is coming? Hee hee, this is really great. "
The little monk had been looking at the good wine and dishes on the table but could not eat them, only salivating. When the little monk heard this, he felt pleasantly surprised and excited.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Chen could not refuse, so he could only agree.
The family banquet came to an end.
The group arrived at the Marquis's Residence's drill ground.
The drill ground required an extremely vast area. It was normally used for the army to gather soldiers, so it was a military location.
It would be more accurate to describe the drill ground of the Marquis's Residence as a drill ground. However, the Soaring Dragon Marquis guarded this area. The Soaring Dragon Marquis was not only a marquis but also a general appointed by the royal clan, guarding the borders.
Everyone in the Long Clan was used to calling this drill ground a drill ground because of the Soaring Dragon Marquis's character.
During this time, Long Yan purposely slowed down his pace, walking together with Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen, do you know why my father specially invited you to the family banquet?"
Xiao Chen had long noticed that something was strange. If Xiao Chen wanted to meet him, it would have been better if they met in private.
There was no need to meet at the family banquet. However, Xiao Chen did not care, so he did not ask.
Now that Long Yan was willing to answer, it was naturally for the best.
"Brother Long, please enlighten me."
Long Yan's gaze fell on Monarch Yu. At this moment, Monarch Yu was saying something to Lan Luo. Monarch Yu's expression looked very sincere. However, Lan Luo did not respond warmly.
"Monarch Yu?"
"That's right. It is Monarch Yu. He is the son of a duke, a relative of the royal clan and holds a noble status. His comprehension ability is even more incredible. He has an amiable character and a good reputation. "
"After that?"
"After that, there is no after that."
Long Yan smiled faintly and did not say anything more, leaving directly.
This made Xiao Chen feel even more suspicious, causing him to frown slightly.
"Big Brother, this fellow must be doing this on purpose, leaving things half-way. Is there anything more annoying than this?!"
The little monk said, feeling aggrieved.
Xiao Chen said softly, "Do whatever you want. I'll deal with it when it comes. I won't be staying here for long. After sending you off, I'll leave immediately. "
Xiao Chen was very open about many things now, not caring about them.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the drill ground, the Long Clan disciples eagerly searched for suitable weapons and started practicing.
Long Yan accompanied his father, watching the performance of the Long Clan disciples below from the tall platform.
The Long Clan disciples were indeed extraordinary.
Xiao Chen looked around. The weakest was an early-stage Star Venerate. Many of them were even late-stage Star Venerates.
As for that Long Yan, Xiao Chen guessed that he had already broken through the shackles of a Star Venerate due to his older age.
After becoming a Holy Venerate, he would be an outstanding talent among the outstanding talents of the Long Clan.
While in the drill ground, Xiao Chen surprisingly discovered a shooting range. Several Long Clan disciples were drawing their bows and shooting arrows.
The setup of this shooting range was very complicated.
There were formations on the ground, either increasing gravity or creating a weightless environment, testing the strength of the archers.
In the depths, one could easily simulate all sorts of harsh environments. The Starry Heavens, a forbidden sea, a land of lava, and a five-thousand-kilometer-long glacier.
"Excellent archery! He reached the tenth ring again!"
"Incredible. Third Brother truly lives up to being the top archer of our Long Clan disciples. His archery skills are becoming increasingly exquisite. Even under twenty-fold gravity and ten kilometers away, he can still firmly hit the tenth ring. "
The Long Clan disciples surrounded a youth, praising him.
Just at this moment, Monarch Yu and his subordinates walked over. The group immediately egged on Monarch Yu to shoot an arrow as well.
"The royal bloodline requires one to be proficient in the six arts from a young age. Monarch Yu's archery skills must be extraordinary."
"Right, Monarch Yu, let us broaden our horizons," Long Hua said.
Long Hua, Lan Luo's third brother, also said in admiration.
Monarch Yu said softly, "My skills are insignificant. How could I dare to embarrass myself? Feng Tian, show the Long Clan disciples what you are capable of. "
"Yes."
A subordinate walked out from behind Monarch Yu and took a bow from Long Hua. Then, he stood still and casually shot an arrow.
A piercing sound soared into the clouds, kicking up strong winds that swept through the entire drill ground, attracting everyone's attention.
"Boom!"
With this arrow, the target, which was made of divine material, was directly shattered. The tail of the arrow continued to buzz as it landed ten kilometers away. The second target also hit the tenth ring.
This small display of skill immediately shocked everyone, shocking everyone.
"Sorry, I damaged your Long Clan's target."
Feng Tian appeared somewhat arrogant as he returned the bow to the somewhat distracted Long Hua. As he held the bow, he felt somewhat disappointed and frustrated.
Earlier, Monarch Yu said that Feng Tian's skills were insignificant. How could he dare to embarrass himself? However, a random subordinate easily defeated Feng Tian.
Wasn't Feng Tian saying that Feng Tian's skills were insignificant, yet he dared to embarrass himself?
The other Long Clan disciples could not empathize with Monarch Yu. They only felt even more admiration for him. For a follower to have such archery skills, it was truly amazing.
Monarch Yu smiled faintly and headed to the other areas of the drill ground. The group of Long Clan disciples quickly followed.
Long Hua was the only one left in the empty shooting range with a bitter expression on his face.
Just as Long Hua felt somewhat depressed and wanted to leave, he discovered that another person had appeared at the shooting range at some point in time.
Xiao Chen held the Long Clan's special Goose Dragon Bow and drew the bowstring, testing it out.
Honestly speaking, Xiao Chen was not an expert archer. He had not learned it properly, either. His skills were all unorthodox.
This was Xiao Chen's first time at a proper shooting range, so he was not used to it.
When Long Hua saw Xiao Chen's skills, he smiled. With one look, it was clear that Xiao Chen was a novice.
Indeed, when Xiao Chen shot his first arrow, the gravity pulled it down midway, causing it to wobble and fall to the ground.
"To think that you dare to embarrass yourself with such skills."
Long Hua mocked and turned to leave.
However, just as Long Hua was about to leave, he heard a 'dang' sound. This was the sound of an arrow hitting the bull's eye. Long Hua was very familiar with this sound.
Long Hua immediately turned around and discovered that Xiao Chen's second arrow had hit the bull's eye.
The little monk stood at the side, clapping and cheering.
"Dang!
Dang! Dang! "After familiarizing himself with the Long Clan's special Goose Dragon Bow, Xiao Chen hit the bull's eye with every arrow. The first arrow stuck to the tail of the second arrow, piercing through it before hitting the bull's eye.
All ten arrows hit the bull's eye smoothly and smoothly.
When Long Hua saw this scene, he said with a sullen expression, "Disgusting. Your archery skills are clearly excellent, yet you pretend to be a novice before me. Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, making fun of me. You are indeed narrow-minded and extremely shameless. "
"Haha! Little Benefactor, you are really stupid. The person who defeated you was the one who hid his strength. What does that have to do with my big brother? This is just my big brother's first time at the shooting range and is not used to your Long Clan's standard bow. "
The little monk said with disdain.
"What do you mean?"
Long Hua asked, feeling confused.
