"I was wrong. I was really wrong."
Li Changshou looked at the man in front of him and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He had long expected that Zhao Gongming would overcome all difficulties to join in the fun. However, he still held onto the hope that he would get lucky. He felt that Grandpa Chao might be worried about his pride if he did not invite him. Hence …
In fact, Li Changshou even made some calculations.
When dozens of immortals from Jie School said that they wanted to join in the fun, Li Changshou thought that the news might reach Grandpa Chao's ears. He deliberately did not invite him because he wanted to cool down their "old friendship".
He did not expect that Grandpa Chao would value their friendship so much that he came uninvited!
"Master, ahem, Senior, please take a seat."
Li Changshou sighed and said, "Senior, it's not that you're the only one who's missed out. It's mainly because this is not a big deal. Senior, as the eldest disciple of the outer sect of Jie School, how can I trouble you to appear because of such a celebration?
Wouldn't that be belittling you? "
"Oh?" Zhao Gongming blinked and stroked his beard. He asked with a smile, "Is that so?"
"Of course." Li Changshou smiled and said, "To me, Senior, you're quite important!"
Zhao Gongming shook his head with a smile. "That mouth of yours, you really have some cultivation!"
Fortunately, he did not say that he had been blessed …
After saying that, Zhao Gongming was invited by Li Changshou to sit on the round chair at the side.
Immediately, a burly man ran over from the side to serve tea. That was also a specialty of the Sea God Sect.
"Brother, what's the purpose of this celebration?"
Zhao Gongming held his teacup and asked. His immortal senses swept across the South Ocean and saw the crowd gathered. "I'm afraid it's not simple to invite the immortals of the three sects to attend such a celebration."
Li Changshou was a little wary …
Why is Grandpa Chao acting abnormally today?
To be able to think of this, it didn't seem like Fortune God Wu's personality.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Please keep me in suspense. There are indeed some matters today that are related to what I have been planning. Therefore, I want to invite the immortals of the three sects to attend the ceremony. I want to increase the weight of this matter and have a deeper impact on the Dragons."
Li Changshou smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Senior, I'm afraid that your arrival will scare the Dragons."
"Uh, this …"
Zhao Gongming was a little conflicted. He whispered, "Should I sneak back again?"
"How can you leave after showing yourself?" Li Changshou hurriedly said, "With Senior here today, I feel much more at ease. I'm no longer afraid of any troublemakers coming to cause trouble."
Zhao Gongming straightened his back. "Don't worry. Let's see who dares to mess up your place today!"
However, Zhao Gongming changed the topic and said seriously, "Brother, you keep calling me Senior. Isn't that too distant?!"
"Senior, this … Forget it. I'll be thick-skinned and call you Brother Zhao."
"Hahahaha!"
Zhao Gongming clapped and laughed. "Brother Sea God! Among the immortals of the three sects, you're the one who suits my taste the most! "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
If I continue, am I going to become sworn brothers with him?
Fortunately, one of the few things that Li Changshou was best at was changing the topic.
He asked about Zhao Gongming's recent situation and if there were any Western experts who had made things difficult for him. Then, he changed the topic to calligraphy.
Zhao Gongming was instantly interested. He agreed to compete with Li Changshou in calligraphy. The two of them set up a table and spread out a piece of cloth. One of them was majestic, while the other was smooth.
At that moment, happy laughter sounded in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple. It really felt like they were close friends despite their age difference.
Zhao Gongming suddenly smiled and said, "Senior Brother Huang Long is here too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of yellow light flashed across the night sky. A tall and thin figure had already landed in front of the door. He was dressed in a light yellow robe and had a Daoist hairpin on his head. Although he looked old, there were no wrinkles. He could be considered a child with white hair.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "I naturally have to inform Senior Huang Long about the Dragons."
"That's right. It's appropriate for you to think that way," Zhao Gongming replied with a smile and went forward to welcome him. He looked more like a host than Li Changshou.
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Grandpa Chao did not lie down and ask him, "Why didn't you invite me? Are you looking down on me!?!"
That scene gave him a headache just thinking about it.
The moment Perfected Huang Long arrived, the rear hall became even more lively.
However, after a while, a white cloud came from the southeast. It was filled with a dense crowd. There were sixty to seventy people!
Li Changshou only knew three of the six immortals at the front. One of them was the Heavenly Lord Qin Wan, the other was the Goddess of Golden Light who had come last time, and the other was Bai Li, one of the ten Heavenly Lords whom he had met in the Dragon Palace.
There was also a female immortal. She was slender and dressed in a fiery-red dress. If he was not wrong, she should be the Goddess of Fire Spirit that Ao Yi had mentioned …
Are the immortals of Jie School really that free?
Or is it the custom of Golden Ao Island, which is to 'scrounge for a meal'?
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched slightly. He immediately revealed a sincere smile and took two steps forward to welcome them on a cloud.
Zhao Gongming cleared his throat and walked to the rear hall. He stood with his hands behind his back and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
When Perfected Huang Long saw that, he pondered for a while and turned to the corner of the rear hall. He took out a jade token and whispered something to it.
Li Changshou had been paying attention to that side, but he could only vaguely hear …
"Yes, Junior Brother, call a few more over. There are many from Jie School … Yes, yes, we can't weaken the prestige of our Jade Void Palace … Alright, alright, as soon as possible …"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
They even want to compete?
It was fine if it was the Three Sects' Meet. After all, it was a grand event of the Three Sects. It was reasonable for the Chan School and Jie School to not give in to each other and want to suppress each other.
Today, it was a celebration of the Burning Incense Sect. Was it appropriate for immortals from both sides to come?
Ahem, the wave here is a quantifier.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. At this point, he could only hurriedly call the immortals of Jie School to enter the Sea God Temple.
When they saw Zhao Gongming, the immortals of Jie School were shocked. They hurriedly bowed and the scene was bustling.
Li Changshou even specially observed the Goddess of Golden Light. He realized that Luo, ahem, the young girl had a cute heart. Her eyes were bright when she looked at Master Zhao.
However, the Goddess of Golden Light did not say anything. She only called out to Senior Brother Zhao and followed her brother, Qin Wan, to the side to take a seat.
Li Changshou went out and called out. Immediately, a group of burly men moved chairs and fragrant tea over.
Although the immortals of Jie School did not know what was going on today, they all congratulated Li Changshou when they saw him.
Li Changshou had no choice but to reply with a few words of congratulations.
Not long after, the village chief of Xiong Village and the Grand Elder of the Sea God Sect, who was dressed in a bear fur coat, rushed over and whispered,
"Lord, just now, Third Brother used a communication jade token to report that a group of soldiers had gone to the village. They were filled with a sinister aura. There were a few powerful people leading them who seemed to have some connections with our village."
"How strong are they?"
"Third Brother Xiong said that he feels very strong."
Li Changshou closed his eyes slightly. The paper effigy hiding under Xiong Village had already used his immortal senses to see the group of people.
Li Changshou recognized the first person. It was the Ox-head of the Netherworld who had taken off his hood.
"That's someone from the Netherworld. It's a branch of your ancestors." Li Changshou smiled and said, "They have indeed gone to your village. According to my previous instructions, let Third Brother guide them and bring them to Anshui City as soon as possible.
The ceremony will begin in four hours. "
"Ah, alright, I'll go now!"
The old village chief agreed and was about to rush over to send the message when Li Changshou stopped him again.
Li Changshou deliberated for a while and said, "There are many distinguished guests today. It's better to have the ceremony livelier. The songs and dances that were removed previously will be arranged from sunrise to noon."
"Okay!"
The old village chief, who looked like a black bear spirit, left in a hurry. Li Changshou could not stay idle and continued to entertain the guests.
This time, it was different from Ao Yi's wedding in the Dragon Palace. This was his home ground. He could not neglect these "distinguished guests".
Although a lot of them came uninvited … Well.
Two hours later, another group of more than twenty immortals of Chan School rode a cloud from the northwest.
The journey should have been as fast as lightning, causing the long hair of a few Heaven Immortal disciples of the Jade Void Palace with lower cultivation levels to be a little messy.
Li Changshou was familiar with the two people in the lead. One of them was the Gold God, Yun Zhongzi, and the other was Chi Jingzi, who was ranked second among the twelve Gold Gods. They were both big shots of Chan School.
Before Li Changshou could fly up on a cloud, Zhao Gongming had already led a few immortals of Jie School to welcome him.
Although everyone was secretly competing, they still had to be amiable on the surface and respond to the saying that the three sects were a family.
The rear hall of the Sea God Sect was almost filled with people.
The immortals of the two sects greeted each other and then took their seats.
Li Changshou felt that he could no longer control the situation …
However, he could not invite the Great Daoist Master over now, right?
If he were to invite the Great Daoist Master when the situation is out of control, wouldn't that be disadvantageous to him …
As he was thinking, a voice transmission suddenly entered Li Changshou's heart.
"Changshou, where did your main body go?
I searched the Duxian Gate twice. Why can't I find it? "
Li Changshou was shocked!
Speak of the devil!
My family is here!
Li Changshou hurriedly pointed at his chest and looked around. He did not know how to reply.
"As expected of you! Hahaha! You actually hid in your incarnation! I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! "
The Great Daoist Master laughed and asked, "I see that you have invited many experts from the Dao Sect. Do you still need me to appear today? If you do, nod. "
Li Changshou nodded heavily.
A chuckle spread in the rear hall of the Sea God Sect. The rear hall, which was originally filled with laughter, instantly fell silent.
Zhao Gongming pinched his fingers and deduced. He was the first to stand up and say happily, "Senior Brother Xuandu is here!"
As soon as Zhao Gongming finished speaking, a few clouds suddenly appeared in the backyard of the Sea God. A faint Taiji image appeared in the clouds, and a figure in a long robe walked out.
His slender figure and long hair were draped over his shoulders. His face was ordinary, and he had a carefree charm. It was rare to see the true meaning of carefreeness!
"Junior Brothers and Sisters, how have you been?"
The moment the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect appeared, everyone present was his junior brothers and sisters.
"Senior Brother Xuandu!"
"It's Senior Brother Master Xuandu!"
"Senior Brother, why are you here?"
Master Xuandu revealed an elegant smile. When he was alone with Li Changshou, he seemed to have become a different person. He became more elegant and easy-going.
When Li Changshou saw that Master Xuandu was about to speak, he immediately sent a voice transmission. "Great Daoist Master, the alias of the Sea God of the South Ocean is Changgeng."
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Since it's an important matter for Changgeng, I naturally have to come over.
I also have to thank all my junior brothers and sisters for coming to attend the ceremony. If there's anything wrong with my hospitality, please forgive me.
The Ren School has a small population to begin with. In the future, when Changgeng travels outside, I hope that everyone will take care of him. "
Changgeng?
The immortals were puzzled at first. Then, they saw Li Changshou bow and were enlightened.
Is the Sea God so powerful?
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's words were very particular. When he said that he was not a good host, he made it clear that he was the host.
The Sea God Sect was established by Ren School!
The Sea God of the South Ocean, Daoist Changgeng, must have a deep relationship with Master Xuandu. He might be a junior of Ren School that the Lord Sage of Taiqing valued!
In an instant, the immortals of Jie School and Chan School, who were originally there to join in the fun, immediately wanted to befriend them.
Master Xuandu gave Li Changshou a meaningful look, as if he was asking, "How is it?"
Li Changshou gave Master Xuandu a grateful and emotional look, as if he was saying, "You're awesome."
The bragging that he had bragged in the past was all true today!
Li Changshou was thinking about how he could let the Western Sect understand what had happened today. It would be best if he could let the other party see all the details …
At that moment, Li Changshou invited the Great Daoist Master to sit in the main seat and personally arranged for the "Cloud Ascension Platform" that he would use later.
The so-called Cloud Ascension Platform was also the Immortal Viewing Platform that Li Changshou had prepared previously.
It was a white cloud with a wooden frame supporting it. It was engraved with Cloud Creation Talismans and Floating Talismans. In order not to make any mistakes, there were dozens of layers of reinforcement.
Li Changshou had previously prepared two Cloud Ascension Platforms and four backups. He thought that it would be enough.
However, when he saw Perfected Huang Long and Zhao Gongming take out their communication jade tokens and start the second wave of recruitment, Li Changshou smiled helplessly in his heart. He activated a few paper effigies and began to rush to create a new Cloud Ascension Platform.
After settling everything, Li Changshou was about to return to his room to accompany the Great Daoist Master when he suddenly heard a dragon roar from the sky. A clear shout came from the sky.
"Brother Hierarch!"
The first wave of guests from the Dragon Palace had arrived!
However, Ao Yi landed in the backyard excitedly. He lifted the hem of his robe, and his face was filled with excitement. He jumped over with vigorous strides!
"I'm here … Eh?"
Ao Yi's smile stiffened when he saw the guests in the hall. His legs went limp and he almost fell in front of Li Changshou.
