After the old man from the Zhan family spoke, the atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Cheng Qi was afraid that Cheng Qingjia would say something wrong, so he quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Miss Third, calm down. My nephew is inflexible. I will try to persuade him right away."
He opened his mouth to speak, but saw Cheng Qingjia gently shaking his head at him.
Cheng Qingjia looked directly at Zhan Yingluo and said, "It's not impossible for me to agree to Third Miss' request, but the monks of my Cheng family have always stood together. If Third Miss wants me to go with her, why not take our team with her?"
Hearing this, Zhan Yingluo's eyebrows finally moved.
"That's a good idea, but I'm afraid your team can't keep up with my pace."
The Zhan family is far more powerful than the Cheng family, and Zhan Yingluo's team even has a Jindan cultivator in charge, so their strength is extraordinary.
This sentence may seem arrogant, but when she said it, it sounded as if it was natural.
A group of Cheng family cultivators, including Cheng Qi and Tang Chuan, did not think there was anything wrong with what the other party said.
"If Miss Third doesn't want to, please don't mention it again. I won't leave the team easily."
Cheng Qingjia felt relieved, thinking that the other party would give up, but Zhan Yingluo suddenly smiled.
She has a bright and flamboyant appearance, and her smile is as dazzling as a pearl that is hard to look directly at.
"Can."
Cheng Qingjia was stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly, and Cheng Qi also found it unbelievable.
Miss Zhan was of such a high status that she was not only not offended by her nephew's words, but she also agreed to this somewhat excessive request.
"Let's go."
Zhan Yingluo was a man of her word. Without giving others more time to react, she stepped onto the Zhan family's cloud boat.
Cheng Qingjia and the others looked at each other for a while, and finally Cheng Qi coughed lightly.
"Since Miss Zhan San has agreed, let's take a ride on the Zhan family's Yunzhou."
Everyone then took a step forward and headed towards the cloud boat.
The Zhan family's cloud boat is grand and gorgeous, and it has all kinds of formations inside. It flies steadily and quickly, and is much better than the Cheng family's cloud boat which has been used for hundreds of years.
Even Xu Chunniang was assigned to an independent room, which was equipped with all kinds of formations including spirit gathering formation and soundproofing formation.
She took a quick glance and then looked away, took out a blank piece of bone, and used her spiritual sense to record her insights into formations over the past few days on it.
About two hours later, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice.
"Friend Xu, the banquet is about to begin. Miss Three invites you."
"OK."
Xu Chunniang had already received the news of the extension of the banquet, so she responded and followed the guidance of the person outside the door to the spacious banquet stage on the second floor of the Yunzhou.
Zhan Yingluo and the Jindan cultivator with the surname Zhao sat in the main seats, Cheng Qingjia was arranged in the first seat to her lower left, and the others sat down tacitly according to the order of their cultivation level.
Xu Chunniang's perfect foundation-building cultivation is highly valued in the Cheng family.
But in the Zhan family, there are many Jindan cultivators, so it is not surprising that they have achieved perfection in foundation building.
Her position was neither good nor bad, she was in the middle of the banquet table, adjacent to Tang Chuan who had a similar level of cultivation.
She didn't care about this arrangement at all.
After all, this banquet was arranged by Zhan Yingluo for Cheng Qingjia, and the others were just a foil.
Seeing that everyone was present, Zhan Yingluo signaled to her left and right, and the servants took out the delicacies and wine that had been prepared long ago and served them one by one.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the spiritual food on the banquet table, and in her heart she sighed at the wealth of the Zhan family.
These rare spiritual foods and fruits were placed on the banquet table like spiritual stones, allowing people to take them at will.
"This is... Red Blood Dragon Meat!"
Tang Chuan saw the beautifully presented spiritual food in front of him and took a deep breath after recognizing it.
This red-blooded dragon is a well-known ferocious dragon on the five southern islands.
The Red Blood Dragon has the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage. Not only is his body strong, his natural water-based abilities should not be underestimated.
Ordinary cultivators of the same level are no match for it.
But for the Zhan family, it was just a dish at the banquet.
"Aromatic fruit, purple jade belt..."
Tang Chuan glanced at the dishes next to him and felt even more shocked.
Although these two spiritual objects are not as precious as the red-blooded dragon meat, they are equally valuable.
Tang Chuan has been in the Cheng family for many years, but has only tasted the purple jade belt a few times.
As for the costus root fruit, it was the first time I had seen it in my life.
He said nothing more and concentrated on enjoying the feast.
Xu Chunniang's eyes fell on the plate of red-blooded dragon meat and she felt the spiritual energy contained in it, but she did not move quickly. She only picked up a pearl-sized wood fragrance fruit and looked at it carefully.
The whole body of this wood fragrance fruit is light green, and it exudes a refreshing and unique fragrance.
Although it is a second-level spiritual fruit, its value has always been high due to its rarity.
Xu Chunniang had seen a description of the costus root fruit on the third floor of the Cheng family's library.
The conditions for its growth are very harsh and it has extremely high requirements for the environment. It can only survive in a place with a single wood aura.
Moreover, the concentration of wood spiritual energy must reach the extreme to have a chance to ripen the wood fragrance grass and produce the wood fragrance fruit with a unique aroma.
Because she felt that the place where the wood fragrance fruit grew was most likely a wood wasteland, she paid more attention to it.
Seeing that the people of the Cheng family were shocked by the spiritual objects on the banquet table, a look of pride flashed across the face of the old foundation-building master standing behind Zhan Yingluo.
"This wood fragrance fruit was sent back by my second daughter from Penglai Fairy Island. Even in the Zhan family, not everyone is qualified to enjoy it."
Everyone in the Cheng family couldn't help but be shocked. "Second Miss, is she the one who was gifted since childhood and was personally taken there by Penglai Fairy Island?"
"I heard that when she was born, there was a strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth, and there were seven-colored auspicious clouds holding up the moon, which alarmed the Penglai Fairy Island!"
"The conditions for recruiting disciples on Penglai Fairy Island are very strict, but they can take the initiative to recruit them. This shows that the second young lady has amazing talent!"
Xu Chunniang listened carefully. She had only been in Nansha Island for a short time and this was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
After everyone had finished discussing, Zhan Yingluo spoke calmly.
"Yes, this wood fragrance fruit was sent back by my sister a few days ago. She achieved a golden elixir breakthrough a while ago and obtained this fruit while training in the sect's secret realm."
"Break through the Golden Core? I remember Miss Zhan II, she is only eighty years old this year, right?"
"An eighty-year-old golden elixir, hiss... I can't even imagine it!"
Everyone in the Cheng family felt that the second Miss Zhan was a true gifted girl. She came from a prominent family and was able to enter the Penglai Fairy Island. Her future was bright.
Cheng Qi couldn't help but feel uneasy, and he kept looking at his nephew.
With the support of Penglai Fairy Island, Miss Zhan has formed a golden elixir at such a young age. It is almost certain that she will become a Nascent Soul in the future.
It's rare that my nephew has won the favor of Zhan Yingluo. Now that he has the support of the Zhan family, won't the crisis of the Cheng family be easily solved
When Cheng Qingjia received the hint from his seventh uncle, he felt helpless.
On the one hand, he really had no feelings for Miss Zhan San, but on the other hand, it was an indisputable fact that the Cheng family was getting worse and worse.
