BXBX NOVEL Chapter 279 - Invitation
Chapter 279 - Invitation
"Don’t be too humble, Brother Yang. Your talent deserves to be praised!" Beiming Chu suddenly said.
Yang Zenke’s indifferent face warmed up a little bit when he saw their friendly attitude. He wasn’t close to this bunch, but they seemed to be treating him as a friend.
"I won’t stay here for long since I still have to report back to Sect Master Jiu Shen." Yang Zenke said.
Prince Dante nodded his head when he heard Yang Zenke’s words, but he suddenly recalled something.
"Wait. Before you go, I would like to invite you to come with us to the imperial palace later. We will be holding a banquet to celebrate our success and I do hope that you will be there, Brother Yang." The prince smiled as he invited Yang Zenke.
Yang Zenke wanted to decline, but Han Sen abruptly stepped forward and said with a broad grin. "Alright. We accept your invitation. You don’t mind a few of us coming with Brother Yang, right?"
Prince Dante turned his gaze to the smiling Han Sen. He could still remember this fierce fellow who tried to break through during his fight in the last annual martial arts contest. The prince could never forget such a barbaric fighter who fought like a madman. This guy was even crazier than Yang Zenke!
"Brother Han, it’s been a while! It looks like your- huh?! Your cultivation..." Prince Dante was speechless when he sensed the aura of Han Sen.
Peak stage of the 5th-rank Spirit realm!
Zhu Ren and the others finally discovered this as well when they saw the prince’s unusual reaction. All of them could only stare at Han Sen and Yang Zenke with utter astonishment. Just how did these two freaks manage to cultivate themselves this fast!?
Looking at their dumbfounded gazes, Han Sen laughed in his heart. Of course, he still put on a smiling expression outwardly.
"Hahaha! Yo! I knew that you guys would pass the assessments! Congratulations!" A voice suddenly interrupted everyone’s train of thoughts.
They glanced at the source of the voice and saw the dashing Liu Mengdi who was wearing his sect robes. A blood-red sword can be seen behind his back.
"Brother Liu!" Prince Dante and the others greeted.
Liu Mengdi smiled at them as he asked. "You guys wouldn’t mind if I join this banquet, right?"
"Of course not! It would be more fun with Brother Liu around. I will also invite a few disciples of our sect to join the banquet." Prince Dante said. He will honor his promise to those who have helped them in fighting the demon soldier inside the World of Illusion.
"Great! In that case, I won’t hold myself back! Hahaha!" Liu Mengdi laughed heartily.
"Brother Liu, how is your Liu Family faring? If you need help, our Beiming Family will gladly support you." Beiming Chu patted his chest as he said those words.
Liu Mengdi’s eyes flashed for a moment, but it soon reverted to normal. "Everything is good. If I ever need help from the Beiming Family, I hope that Brother Beiming won’t forget his words." He forced out a smile.
At the mention of his Liu Family, Liu Mengdi recalled his father. It was so painful, but he maintained his smiling facade.
Cough!
Prince Dante faked a cough to gather everyone’s attention.
"Alright, everyone! Let’s go back to our new rooms and put on our sect robes. After that, we will go to the imperial palace and start the banquet." The prince changed the topic to avoid soiling the warm atmosphere.
"Right! Let’s go! I want to see how I look in this sect robes!" Princess Sylvia dragged her brother without even bothering the others.
"Hey, wait!"
Prince Dante could only helplessly glance at the others as he was dragged by his younger sister.
Looking at this scene, everyone laughed.
"Brother Yang, Brother Han, make sure that you both will be there. You too, Brother Liu." Zhu Ren said before he followed the brother and sister pair. Behind him was Beiming Chu who was following him like a shadow.
Han Sen turned his gaze to Yang Zenke and said. "Brother Yang, this is such a rare occasion. It does not happen often. I know that you don’t want to waste your precious cultivation time, but cultivation will tire you out if you don’t take a break."
Yang Zenke glared at him fiercely, making the latter shrink.
"You’ve already accepted his invitation. What else can I do?" Yang Zenke sighed as he shook his head.
"Good! Hahaha! Let’s bring Sister Xiao and her friends with us. The banquet would look bland without them." Han Sen said as he glanced towards Xiao Hua.
Smack!
"You! You just want to show off!" Yang Zenke smacked Han Sen’s head without hesitation. Luckily, the new disciples were busy seeing that embarrassing scene.
"It’s fine, Brother Yang. I also wanted to see what an imperial banquet would look like. I’ll also bring some of my friends with me." Xiao Hua said with a sweet smile.
Hearing Xiao Hua’s confirmation, Yang Zenke could only agree.
Standing at the side, Liu Mengdi secretly laughed when he saw this.

"Master, they have already distributed the new disciples’ robes and cultivation resources. Do you have any more instructions for me?" Long Meili asked with her head down.
Jiu Shen leaned on his chair and replied in a calm tone. "Observe that little girl Sylphie and when the time is right, accept her as your disciple. With your guidance, this rough pearl would one day shine as bright like a diamond."
Long Meili nodded her head and accepted the order. She was also captivated by the little girl’s tenacious spirit and willpower. Even without Jiu Shen’s words, she would still accept Sylphie as her student.
"I obey, master." She said.
"Oh right. Before you go, tell the kitchen staff to make more bottles of milk and ask them to bring it here." Jiu Shen added.
’Master is pampering that little tiger too much...’ She muttered in her heart, but she still nodded her head at her master’s words.
"I’ll inform them immediately."
