Tianji Palace, outside the central hall.
The plaza outside the hall was extremely large. It was more than enough to hold tens of thousands of people, let alone hold a banquet. The stage outside the hall was extremely wide as well. It could hold at least a hundred multi-seater tables and dozens of single-seater tables. The multi-seater tables were naturally occupied by people of lower status. However, no matter how low one's status was, to be able to sit on the stage outside the hall, one had to be someone with power and influence in the entire Tianji Planet.
In reality, even the most important Tianji Festival would not have a celebration of this scale unless it was a year with tens of people. The most important part of the Tianji Festival was not the grand banquet, but the series of special activities. In other words, this banquet was held because of Lu An And Yao's arrival. At the very least, the scale of the banquet was not bad.
When Lu An And Yao arrived at the plaza of the central hall, Lu An looked at the stage filled with tables, and then looked at the performance of over ten thousand people below. He could not help but gasp. Although this scale of people could be achieved by even a small country, both the people on the stage and the people performing below the stage all possessed great strength. This was definitely not something an ordinary faction could achieve.
Very quickly, Lu An, Yao, Fu Yueni, and Liu Yuan all arrived on the stage. The table arrangement was very orderly. There was only one table with its back facing the main entrance of the hall and the front facing the plaza. There were single-seater tables on both sides, and only after the single-seater tables were multi-seater tables. Because there was only one table facing the plaza, that was to say … Lu An And Yao was still sitting on the two sides of the table.
This Tianji Clan Head still did not place Lu An And Yao on the same level.
If Lu An had come alone and did not represent any faction or have any special status, it would naturally be fine for him to sit like this. He was weak, so being able to receive such a large banquet was already very exaggerated. However, the important thing was that he was not only representing himself, but also the entire Sengoku. Lu An had already tolerated him once during the lunch banquet. This time, Chu Zhengji was still sitting like this. This immediately caused an obvious change in Lu An's expression.
Lu An had never liked class, but respect and class were two different things. In particular, the intelligence report stated that the Four Great Races had helped the Heaven's Legacy Race many times in the past. People couldn't help but be grateful. Even if he was hated because he represented the Fu Clan, or because he had the power of death in his body, he could not allow the young master of Sengoku to sit in this position.
Fu Yu had told her to never lower herself and do what she should do. Because of this, Lu An's dark eyes emitted a trace of coldness.
Lu An And Yao walked onto the stage, and the people around him immediately stood up and saluted him. When Lu An And Yao walked to the center, Chu Zhengji smiled and said, "Young Master Lu and Young Patriarch Yao have arrived. Please take a seat. The banquet is about to be prepared."
Chu Zhengji and Chu Xuan did not stand up, and Lu An did not say anything. He only cupped his hands and bowed to the two of them, then brought Yao and Fu Yueni to his own table.
The two of them were on the right side of Chu Zhengji and Chu Xuan. They were very close to each other and it was very convenient for them to converse. Everyone knew that Lu An And Yao was husband and wife, so they prepared a long table for the two of them. The long table was very long, and it would not be a problem even if a few more people were to sit on it.
Lu An And Yao sat down. According to Fu Yueni's status as a servant, she naturally could not sit down. Instead, she had to stand behind the two of them and wait for orders.
However, Lu An did not do so. He turned to look at Fu Yueni, who was standing behind him, and said, "Come and sit as well."
The moment he said that, the surrounding people were shocked!
Just as the crowd stood up and saluted Lu An and was about to sit down, their bodies suddenly froze, as if they were stiff! Everyone looked at Lu An with shock and astonishment. Even Yao and Fu Yueni were the same!
Chu Zhengji and Chu Xuan were very close to each other, so they naturally heard everything clearly. The smiles on their faces immediately froze, and they stared at Lu An!
Fu Yueni was also a little surprised. She did not expect Lu An to suddenly say something like that to her. For a moment, she did not know what to do.
"Why aren't you sitting?" Lu An's eyes did not leave Fu Yueni as he asked.
"…"
After all, Fu Yueni was by Fu Yu's side. She quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Yes, Young Master."
Following that, under everyone's watchful eyes, Fu Yueni walked to the side, casually picked up an empty chair, and sat down beside Yao.
Seeing this, Lu An smiled in satisfaction. He turned to look at Chu Zhengji and Chu Xuan, ignoring their emotions. He said with a smile, "I can't possibly let her watch while I eat. Clan Head Chu and Madam Chu won't mind, right?"
"…"
Lu An had personally asked Fu Yueni to sit down. Chu Zhengji could not possibly ask her to stand up. Otherwise, it would be obvious that he was going against Lu An.
Lu An was not a big deal. Chu Zhengji could casually kill him, but the problem was that the power behind Lu An was definitely an existence that the Tianji Clan could not afford to offend.
"Since Young Master Lu has spoken, I naturally won't mind." Chu Zhengji's expression clearly turned much colder, and his voice became heavier.
However, Lu An ignored Chu Zhengji's emotions and said with a smile, "That's good."
Because of Lu An's personality, although the seven women had maids at home, the seven women would not humiliate or treat them in any way. Back then, when Lu An had just become a Heavenly Master, he could spend money to let the maids outside eat at the same table as him. Now, he could still do the same. Moreover, Fu Yueni was not a maid at all. She was a true expert.
Lu An's actions caused the gradually rising atmosphere of the banquet to become extremely cold. Regardless of whether it was the single person table or the multi-person table, no one knew what to say. The entire high platform immediately became deathly silent. There was no longer any banquet atmosphere.
However, as long as there was no hostility, the atmosphere would slowly ease over time as long as it was still acceptable on the surface. A shrewd person from the Heavenly Legacy Race could tell that the Clan Leader did not want to shed all pretense of cordiality, so he took the initiative to raise his cup to Lu An and said, "Young Master Lu is young and talented. I truly admire you. Let me toast to Young Master Lu!"
Lu An also did not want to shed all pretense of cordiality, so he naturally raised his cup and said, "You flatter me."
With that, the two of them downed the wine in one gulp.
This wine was indeed delicious, but it did not taste like wine. There was only a slight taste of wine, but more of a fragrance. After drinking the wine, Lu An turned to look at Chu Zhengji and said with a smile, "As expected of the Heavenly Legacy Race's wine. It's indeed delicious."
Hearing Lu An's praise for the wine, Chu Zhengji's expression eased a little. He said, "Young Master Lu, if you're willing to drink, then drink more. I'll have enough."
"Is that so? Thank you, Clan Leader Chu, "said Lu An with a smile.
The atmosphere slowly recovered, and soon, it was time for the banquet to officially begin.
Once the time was up, the music immediately began. Grand and majestic music immediately spread throughout the entire Heavenly Legacy Palace, and even far outside of it. As the music sounded, at least a thousand people quickly walked out from both sides. However, they maintained a perfect formation throughout the process, all the way to the center of the square.
Bang!
The dull music sounded heavily. Immediately, a thousand people spread out, and ten thousand light spots appeared at the same time.
Lu An was slightly startled when he saw this. At this moment, a person at a single table opened his mouth and explained to Lu An with a smile, "This is a very famous performance of our Heavenly Legacy Race. It's called 'Myriad Star Changes'."
Lu An nodded slightly and continued watching the performance below. The performance was less than two thousand feet away from him, so he could naturally see all the details clearly. Each person controlled ten light spots from a distance, and these light spots should be some kind of ore that could emit light. According to these people's strength, controlling ten things from a distance was not a big deal. The real difficulty was to what extent they could control it.
For ordinary people, it was very difficult to draw circles with one hand and squares with the other. This could only be considered an illusion of multitasking. True multitasking meant that two hands could draw any complicated pattern at will. It was completely at will, as if they really had two seas of consciousness. If the ten light spots were just simple drawings, they could be obtained through continuous training. It could not be considered multitasking, but even so, there was a certain degree of difficulty in controlling it.
Bang!
The accent appeared once again, and the music officially sounded. As the music unfolded, the thousand people immediately controlled these light spots to dance.
The ten light spots controlled by each person first rotated in the air, forming a thousand rotating rings. It was very beautiful. Immediately after, they rotated in other forms, but each person still controlled ten light spots, moving according to a certain pattern. What surprised Lu An was that during the process, the thousand people once sent all the light spots to the center, which was to let the light spots escape their control. The ten thousand light spots all came to the center, and were controlled by no more than fifty people in the center, forming a huge star. It was the appearance of the entire Heavenly Legacy Star in the vast universe. Very quickly, the Heavenly Legacy Star exploded, turning into an entire galaxy, and then exploding again to form a galaxy that filled the sky.
The creativity was not bad, and it was also very beautiful.
After the performance ended, Lu An, Yao, and Fu Yueni all raised their hands and applauded. It had to be said that at least the control of the dozens of people in the center did not lose to the people who specialized in concealed weapons in the Hundred Weapon Sect.
