Chapter 2382
by Moonlit_Scholar_C “I’m not satisfied with the old ancestor. I still can’t figure this out.”
The Xuandan Palace, the Xuantian Hall.
When the picture of Gu Yu appeared in the center of the main hall the expression of the old palace master Jiang Xuanfeng turned into a painful look.
The old ancestor Feng Tianxing beside him, after seeing Jiang Xuanfeng, who was always serious on weekdays, was actually forced to such a loss of composure, suddenly burst into “haha” laughter.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuanfeng said anxiously:
“Old ancestor, this matter concerns the fate of the Upper Clear Realm. We can’t let Taoist Priest Taiping act recklessly. You should think of a way!”
As the master of Xuandan Palace, no one is more aware of the means of their own old ancestor than him.
Feng Tianxing leaned back on the chair and asked with a very relaxed expression and a smile:
“Xuanfeng, you also know Xu Taiping to some extents. Do you think he is the kind of person who is messing around?”
Jiang Xuanfeng was momentarily at a loss for words when asked by Feng Tianxing.
After seriously thinking about it for a while, Jiang Xuanfeng then replied:
“Old ancestor, even if he is not a person who who, he always has moments when he is shortsighted.”
Feng Tianxing smiled faintly and said:
“Do you mean that you can determine that Gu Yu’s future potential must be lower than Pang Zhong’s?”
Jiang Xuanfeng was once again at a loss for words when asked.
Because in previous generations of the Dragon-Slaying Conference, there were those who seemed useless at first sight, but later were able to make a stunning appearance and even lead the Dragon-Slayers to win the championship of the Dragon-Slaying Conference by themselves.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Xuanfeng finally said:
But those who accumulate strength and then burst are after all a minority among the Dragon-Catchers. Sometimes, such a person may not appear for hundreds or even thousands of years.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Xuanfeng looked up at Feng Tianxing and frowned, saying:
Rather than gambling on this one-in-ten-thousand chances, why not take a more safe path?
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianxing looked down at Jiang Xuanfeng and remained silent for a long time.
Just as Jiang Xuanfeng was looking scared and thought he had said something wrong, Feng Tianxing suddenly said to Jiang Xuanfeng seriously:
“Xuanfeng, how can there be such a thing as safety on the path of cultivation?”
Jiang Xuanfeng was like being stabbed in the vital point by Feng Tianxing and was stunned there.
Feng Tianxing turned his head to look at Xu Taiping and his group who were already sitting around the table in the shadow and then looked at Jiang Xuanfeng again and continued:
“This time for the Dragon-Slaying Assembly, there is an additional team of Jiuyuan, and there are two Demon Emperors in this team, and one of them even has the body of a drought demon.”
“Do you think that just from the potential that can be seen on the surface of the nineteen dragon catchers, who can definitely help Xu Taiping’s team win the championship?”
Jiang Xuanfeng was once again stumped by Feng Tianxing.
Because he found that not to mention the remaining eighteen people after being selected by Jiuyuan, even if Pang Zhong who was selected was counted, Xu Taiping’s team might not have the certainty of defeating Jiuyuan’s team.
Feng Tianxing took a sip of the wine in the wine cup beside him, then leaned back in the chair, Youdaoplaceholder0 at the phantom in the center of the main hall, and said with a solemn expression:
“So if Xu Taiping participates in this Dragon-Slaying Assembly with the heart of seeking stability like you, then the outcome of this Dragon-Slaying Assembly will be that the human race cultivators will surely lose.”
Jiang Xuanfeng sighed and said:
“What the ancestor taught is right.”
Jiang Xuanfeng’s gaze once again looked at the center of the great hall, and then said with a bitter smile:
But forgive this disciple for speaking frankly, I really don’t see what’s so special about that Gu Yu.
Feng Tianxing, however, shook his head disapprovingly and said:
This Dragon-Slaying Assembly has just begun, let’s continue to watch and see.
Although Jiang Xuan really wanted to say something more, seeing that the old ancestor had already made up his mind, he sensibly chose to remain silent and just silently looked at the scene in the shadow in the center of the great hall.
At this time, just in the picture, Xu Taiping and the other three were dividing the steamed buns.
When seeing Xu Taiping breaks that white, soft, and steaming hot steamed bun and taking a bite of half of it Feng Tianxing couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then turned his head to look at Jiang Xuanfeng on the side and said:
Bring a plate of steamed buns for this master as well.
Jiang Xuanfeng was a bit at a loss for words, but in the end he still nodded and said:
I’ll give the order here.
Feng Tianxing, who was staring at Xu Taiping and the others devouring the food, seemed to think of something and immediately added another sentence to Jiang Xuanfeng:
Hot ones, must be just out of the steamer, steaming hot!
Jiang Xuanfeng nodded and said:
This disciple will explain to the back kitchen.
As he spoke, he took out a sound transmission jade slip from his sleeve.
However, when he was about to transmit the sound, Feng Tianxing suddenly said again:
”Little Xuanfeng, ask the back kitchen to cook another plate of hazelnut mushroom stewed chicken, the same one they are eating!”
At this moment, Xu Taiping and the others in the virtual shadow, except for the monk Xuanzhi, were all sharing the large plate of hazelnut mushroom stewed chicken with a shiny color.
The chicken meat, golden yellow with a tempting shine, as if every texture was soaked with mellow soup.
Just looking at them eating makes people’s index fingers move.
Jiang Xuanfeng nodded with a complicated mood, and then simply suggested to the ancestor Feng Tianxing:
”Ancestor, let the back kitchen bring one plate of each dish on the table of those four people?”
Feng Tianxing licked his lips and nodded without looking back, saying:
”That would be very good!”
……
On the viewing platform of Zhenlongping.
Because the virtual shadow on Zhenlongping was extremely huge and clear.
Therefore, the watching cultivator could not only hear the chewing and swallowing sounds when Xu Taiping was devouring the food but also clearly see the heat rising from the steamed buns in the hands of several people, and the bright and oily color of the dishes in the bowls.
In addition, the way the four people in the virtual shadow were devouring the food at this time made this very ordinary meal in the small courtyard look extremely attractive.
Even some cultivators who had long given up their desires for food were also hooked by the four people in the picture, and their greedy insects in their stomachs were aroused.
”Bo!”
At this time, among the four people in the image on Zhenlongping, except for Xuanzhi all of them pulled out the corks of the small wine jars beside them and began to clink glasses and drink.
And it was not until this moment that the numerous watching cultivators on the viewing platform finally reacted——
“We came to watch you slay the dragon, not to watch you eat and drink!”
For a while, there was a noisy hubbub on the viewing platform.
The dissatisfaction with the four people sitting in the courtyard eating and drinking even overshadowed the discussion about Xu Taiping choosing Gu Yu as the dragon catcher.
Not only the ordinary watching cultivators on the viewing platform.
Even the people in the small viewing attic of Chunyu Pavilion, after seeing that Xu Taiping and the other three were just eating and drinking in the courtyard and didn’t talk about this dragon slaying meeting at all, also frowned.
The old martial god Zhu Huai, leaning back on the chair with a depressed expression on his face, reached out and gently patted the back of his head, and said very confusedly:
“Not to mention choosing an old man with some mental problems as the dragon catcher, but also sitting in the courtyard eating and drinking, completely not thinking about fulfilling Gu Yu’s petition to restore his skills.
“What exactly is Xu Taiping selling in this gourd!”
Jiang Cuicui also frowned and said at this time:
When Taiping Daozhang was in the supernatant he was not such a lazy and muddling person. Why did he become like this when he came to the Burial Immortal Ruins.”
Lu Rushuang, who was sitting at the same table as the two, although she didn’t say anything, the word ‘confusion’ was also written all over her eyes.
Chu Xiaoxiao was even more nervous and asked Zhang Moyan beside her in a low voice:
Is Brother Taiping perhaps poisoned by the people of Jiuyuan?
I bet all my wealth on him!
Zhang Moyan looked at Chu Xiaoxiao helplessly, opened and closed her mouth several times as if she wanted to say something, but in the end it only turned into a soft sigh.
