At this time, the hall of the warship was brightly lit, as bright as day.
More than a dozen beautifully designed wooden tables were neatly arranged on both sides, on which were exquisite dishes, fragrant wines, and all kinds of pastries and fruits.
All the experts sat in front of the tables, talking and laughing.
They were also very happy with the defeat of the Hell Ghosts.
In public, apart from a group of thousand-year-old scourges, there would be no more ghosts running amok on the sea. In private, they had broadened their horizons and learned what it meant by there was always someone better than them.
For an expert, what limited their cultivation was not their own techniques, but their own horizons.
This time, they had personally witnessed the tyrannical techniques of several great experts and benefited a lot from it.
Not only that, but they had also displayed their own techniques and cooperated closely with each other in battle, performing outstandingly.
* Huala … *
After Ye Fan entered the hall of the warship, the cabin door slowly closed behind him.
After seeing Ye Fan, all the experts instantly fell silent.
They looked at Ye Fan in unison and nodded at him in greeting.
In the battle of the Hell Ghosts, Ye Fan's battle strength had made the experts understand what it meant to have a heaven-defying cultivation base, what it meant to have a supreme technique, and what it meant to be unreachable.
When the Nether Ghouls launched their suicidal attacks, the torrential rain of attacks that the experts were unable to withstand was broken by Ye Fan in one move!
With one move, all the ghosts were destroyed!
This kind of power made these experts, who were usually extremely conceited, wholeheartedly convinced.
To be honest, if it were not for Ye Fan, they might have already become part of the Hell Ghosts and would not be sitting here chatting and enjoying a sumptuous banquet!
Not only did the experts nod to Ye Fan, but even Onigirō, Chi Yao, Qingkong Yihe, and even Yamada Shingo, who was standing behind Matsumoto Takeyoshi, took the initiative to nod to Ye Fan.
In this battle, Ye Fan had won everyone's respect, from the experts to the crew.
The Green-eyed Child, the blue-clothed man Kaori Sato, and Chiyao Yamamoto, who had been taught a lesson by Ye Fan, all had respectful expressions on their faces. They did not dare to underestimate Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's heaven-defying cultivation base had completely won them over.
Humans were a very strange kind of animal.
When you were just a little bit stronger than him, he would hate you to the point of gnashing his teeth. He would be eager to tear you into pieces and get rid of you as soon as possible. However, when your strength far surpassed his, he would instead be extremely respectful to you and not dare to act rashly.
One word, lowly.
When Ye Fan saw the experts nodding their heads at him, he immediately returned their greetings.
He returned the greeting as he slowly walked to his seat.
Among the experts, one person.
Akatsuki.
Ye Fan's heart thumped.
What about Akatsuki? Where did she go? Why did she not come to the banquet? Could it be that she wanted to commit suicide again?
Ye Fan looked calm on the surface, but he was very anxious in his heart.
He secretly used his five senses to search the entire warship.
After a search, Ye Fan's hanging heart was relieved.
Akatsuki was still in her cabin.
She did not come to the banquet, presumably because she did not want to see him.
Ye Fan thought in his heart.
"Hahaha … Bufan -kun, we were waiting for you."
Seeing Ye Fan arrive, Matsumoto Takeyoshi, dressed in a loose gray robe, laughed loudly as he stood up from the main seat.
He went down the stairs and directly greeted Ye Fan.
"Come, come, come, today I will drink a thousand cups with Bufan -kun!"
Matsumoto Takeyoshi, who came in front of Ye Fan, enthusiastically pulled Ye Fan's hand and walked towards Ye Fan's seat.
Ye Fan's seat was to the left of Matsumoto Takeyoshi, right next to Matsumoto Takeyoshi's seat.
Onigirō's seat was to the right of Matsumoto Takeyoshi, also right next to Matsumoto Takeyoshi's seat, opposite of Ye Fan's seat.
The two of them could be said to have contributed greatly in the battle at Netherworld.
Without Ye Fan, the Netherworld Demons' powerful attacks would have been difficult to resist, and without Onigirō, the Netherworld Demons' weak points would not have been discovered!
If one of the two had been missing, they would not have had today's glorious battle results!
Because of this, Matsumoto Takeyoshi arranged for the two of them to sit in the first seat.
Chi Yao, dressed in black, and Qingkong Yihe, dressed in white, sat in the second seat.
Chi Yao's seat was next to Ye Fan, and Qingkong Yihe's seat was next to Onigirō's.
Although the two of them did not contribute as much as Ye Fan and Onigirō, their contributions were still outstanding.
If they had not stalled for Onigirō and destroyed the Netherworld Ghost Ship, the Netherworld Demons would not have been wiped out so quickly!
Moreover, the two of them were powerful, their moves were overbearing, and their auras were grand. They had left a deep impression on Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
Sitting in the third seat was Funakoshi Shinichi, dressed in a navy blue robe, and Bamu Changqing, dressed in a white robe.
The performance of these two in this battle could be said to be remarkable.
Funakoshi Shinichi had broken through the sea with two Netherworld Ghost Ships in one hand, and Bamu Changqing had destroyed the Netherworld Ghost Ship with a single slash of his blade.
Although the two of them were not proficient in killing ghosts and spirits, their battle strength was admirable.
"Come, Bufan -kun, sit." Matsumoto Takeyoshi personally brought Ye Fan to his seat and invited Ye Fan to take a seat.
Ye Fan was polite to everyone, except for Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi invited him to take a seat, and he did not refuse. He shook his robe and sat cross-legged on the praying mat.
"Everyone." Matsumoto Takeyoshi returned to his seat, then raised his wine cup and said to the experts, "We were able to win this battle and eliminate the Netherworld Ghost because of everyone's help. This first cup of wine is a toast to everyone!"
"Thank you, Mister!" The experts all raised their cups.
"Cheers!" Matsumoto Takeyoshi raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.
"Cheers!"
The experts all said in unison and drank the wine in one gulp.
The waiter in charge of the banquet began to pour wine for the experts.
"This second cup of wine is a toast to Bufan -kun, Onimuki -kun, Ikaku-san, Chi Yao -kun, and Yamada-kun." Matsumoto Takeyoshi raised his wine jug and poured wine into his cup as he said, "In this battle, if it weren't for the five of you charging at the front, I don't think we would be sitting here drinking wine. This cup of wine is a toast to the five of you!"
After he finished speaking, Matsumoto Takeyoshi put down the wine jug, then picked up the other cup of wine on the table and personally handed it to Shingo Yamada, who was standing behind him.
Shingo Yamada nodded at Matsumoto Takeyoshi and took the cup with both hands.
"I'll drink first as a toast." Matsumoto Takeyoshi raised his cup to the five of them and drank the wine in his cup.
"Thank you, Mister Songmoto!" Other than Ye Fan, the four of them raised their cups and drank the wine in one gulp.
Ye Fan, who was sitting on the praying mat, raised his cup with one hand and raised it to Matsumoto Takeyoshi, then took a sip of the wine in return.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled and did not mind at all.
"For this third cup of wine, I would like to toast Bufan -kun and Mister Onimu alone." Matsumoto Takeyoshi filled the cup again, then walked down the stairs with one hand holding the cup and the wine jug in the other. "If Bufan -kun had not captured hundreds of thousand-year-old spirits alive, and if Mister Onimu had not seen through the secrets and flaws of the Nether Spirits' undying bodies under high pressure, I don't think we would have achieved such results and eradicated these scourges that have been harming us for thousands of years."
As Matsumoto Takeyoshi spoke, he came in front of Ye Fan, bowed, and filled the empty cup in front of Ye Fan.
Seeing this, Ye Fan frowned and stood up from his seat.
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi had personally left the table to pour wine for him, and to toast him alone. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to express his gratitude.
Otherwise, if he sat while Matsumoto Takeyoshi stood and watched while Matsumoto Takeyoshi poured wine for him, that would be too rude.
"Bufan -kun, I would like to toast you."
Matsumoto Takeyoshi raised Ye Fan's cup and handed it to Ye Fan as he spoke solemnly.
"Mister Matsumoto is too polite." Ye Fan took the cup and replied, "The Nether Spirits have been harming us for thousands of years, and the people have suffered. Everyone has the right to kill them. Even if they did not come this time, if I saw them, I would have done the same."
There was a deeper meaning to his words.
It meant that he killed the Nether Spirits on behalf of the heavens, and not just to help Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
In other words, even if he helped Matsumoto Takeyoshi, it was to protect the True Soul of his beloved wife in the Evil Cauldron.
"Bufan -kun cares about the people, Matsumoto admires you. Cheers!" Matsumoto Takeyoshi said as he raised the cup to Ye Fan and drank.
Ye Fan drank the wine in one gulp.
"Satisfying, satisfying! Hahaha … "Matsumoto Takeyoshi laughed loudly." Bufan -kun, please sit. "
Ye Fan nodded and returned to his seat.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi turned and walked to Onigirō.
Onigirō stood up from his seat.
"Oniguchi -san, we were able to destroy the Nether Spirits' immortal bodies in this battle because of your superior wisdom. Without your help, the Nether Spirits would have been endless, and everything would have been in vain. This cup of wine, Matsumoto -san."
Matsumoto Takeyoshi said as he poured Onigirō a cup of wine.
"Matsumoto -san, this is my duty, and it is my duty." Onigirō replied respectfully.
"Master's telepathic ability is truly an eye-opener." Matsumoto Takeyoshi handed the wine cup to Onigirō and said, "Master's magic is exquisite and unparalleled. Matsumoto admires you greatly."
"Thank you, Master." Onigirō took the wine cup with both hands and said respectfully.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The two clinked their cups and drank the wine in one gulp …
The entire banquet lasted until late at night before it began to disperse.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi was in a good mood. He repeatedly clinked cups with the experts and drank until he was dead drunk.
During the banquet, he ordered everyone to rest for three days.
During these three days, all the experts could leave the warship and go anywhere freely. All expenses would be covered.
After the banquet was over, Ye Fan, wearing a golden crown and black robe, staggered out of the hall.
This time, he was really drunk.
As the saying goes, wine doesn't intoxicate people, but oneself.
Akatsuki's matter made him depressed, so it was natural for him to get drunk easily.
In addition, during the banquet, the experts took turns toasting him and calling him brothers. He didn't refuse any of them and drank one cup after another.
He could use spirit energy to dispel the wine, but he didn't do so. Instead, he urged his spirit energy to force the wine to his brain.
He wanted to get drunk, completely drunk.
After waving goodbye to the experts, Ye Fan, who reeked of alcohol, staggered and used his movement technique.
Whoosh!
Ye Fan soared into the air and flew towards the boat.
But this time, he really drank too much.
He soared into the air, and he was quite confident.
But he didn't adjust his direction well.
He flew too high, causing his body to fly over the boat.
Plop …
