Chapter 2116 - 2117: The Five Immortal Kings Reunite (Part 1)
Chapter 2116: Chapter 2117: The Five Immortal Kings Reunite (Part 1)
In the Jian Sect located at the center of the Starry Domain.
Huyue and Ye Hanshang leaned against the corridor pillars, idly watching the tumultuous sea of clouds outside.
This was the highest point of the entire Jian Sect, known as the Wu Jian Pavilion.
Initially, Li Jingxing comprehended Sword Intent here.
However, after the Sword Intent took shape, Li Jingxing seldom came here.
Yet, ordinary disciples dared not easily step foot here, thus preserving this place completely as the Holy Land of the Jian Sect.
But at this moment, this Wu Jian Pavilion became the spot where the two idlers, Huyue and Ye Hanshang, came to drink.
Indeed!
In the bustling and lively Jian Sect, Huyue and Ye Hanshang were undoubtedly the two great idlers.
Because all the strong who joined were usually assigned tasks, each performing their duties diligently.
Only the two of them, due to their high realm and position, were not subject to orders.
Thus, they existed like idle immortals, finding moments of leisure here every day.
At this time, Ye Hanshang, satisfied, drank from his cup and gently sighed, "It’s peaceful here. The only downside is the snacks are lacking. If Old Xue were here to cook up some dishes, it’d be perfect!"
"Come on, be content. You’re still wishing for Old Xue to cook for you? Do you think that’s possible? These snacks were stolen from the Jian Sect’s back kitchen by me, so just make do!" Huyue replied.
Ye Hanshang did not respond, instead gulping down another cup.
"Hey, slow down! At this rate, we’ll run out soon. Leave some for me, or I’ll miss out on drinking!" Huyue anxiously urged.
Ye Hanshang gave Huyue a sidelong glance, "You are an Immortal King; how is it that you can’t even afford a drink?"
"Alas!" Huyue sighed deeply, drooping as he spoke, "You have no idea, since getting married, I’ve been restricted to only three cups of wine a day."
"Just three cups?"
"Precisely!" Huyue nodded vehemently, holding up three fingers with a face full of indignation, "Only three cups!"
"For a dignified Immortal King like me, wanting to drink but restricted to three cups daily, is it enough?"
Ye Hanshang looked at him with a sympathetic expression, "Not enough!"
"That’s why, now that we have the chance, I must drink my fill first!" With that, Huyue picked up the wine jar and drained it in one go.
Seeing Huyue’s actions, Ye Hanshang couldn’t help but say, "Seeing you like this, I’m scared of getting married!"
"Don’t get married, it’s a trap. Right now, Yan Jie is around, so Rou’er gives me face. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even dare drink this much!" Huyue lamented.
Ye Hanshang suddenly remembered something, leaned forward, and whispered to Huyue, "So how’s it going with your two ladies? Have they made up?"
Huyue shivered, "How am I supposed to know? I don’t even dare go check!"
Ye Hanshang sympathetically patted Huyue’s shoulder, "Little fox, I’m growing more sympathetic towards you!"
"Stop talking, all words are in the drink, cheers!" With that, Huyue tipped back his head and drained another jar of wine.
"Hey, that’s not right! You should leave some for me!" Ye Hanshang also grew anxious.
The two began arguing over the ownership of the remaining wine.
Just then, a hearty laugh echoed from afar, "Little A Piao, little fox, I guessed you two would be drinking here. Not inviting us, you’re no friends at all!"
With the voice, three rays of light rushed into the Wu Jian Pavilion, and as their forms emerged, it was Tian Zena in the lead, followed by the smiling old Taoist, Zhuge Cang, and the imposing figure of Chu Wuxiang!
Seeing the three of them, Ye Hanshang and Huyue were overjoyed.
Especially Ye Hanshang, who stood and greeted Zhuge Cang and Chu Wuxiang with a cupped fist.
"Daoist Zhuge, Daoist Chu!"
Huyue, less formal, immediately exclaimed, "Old Tian, what do you mean not inviting you? One of you heals people, one acts as protector, and you are always absent. I couldn’t find you even if I wanted to drink with you!"
"Alright, you have so many excuses. Look at this food, you’re an Immortal King, yet so shabby?" Tian Zena laughed and scolded.
"Haha!" Huyue awkwardly rubbed his nose, "Nothing can be done; things are this way at home!"
Previously, when Ye Hanshang and Tian Zena visited, Zhuge Cang was treating the heavily injured Qiu Yuye, with Chu Wuxiang nearby as protector, thus they didn’t appear.
Only now, with Qiu Yuye’s condition stabilized, could the pair join Tian Zena to find Ye Hanshang and Huyue.
Now, the five Immortal Kings reunited once more.
The Wu Jian Pavilion thus became lively.
Those snacks were far from enough, but Tian Zena came prepared, waving his hand.
A variety of exquisite dishes appeared on the large table in the pavilion.
"Wow, impressive! Old Tian, where did you get these? They’re scrumptious!"
Salivating at the sight of the appetizing snacks, Huyue circled the table thrice!
"Hard to get, right?" Tian Zena beamed with pride, "Honestly, my disciple made these!"
"Your disciple? The one involved with Old Xue?" Huyue said in astonishment.
Tian Zena’s face instantly darkened, "Little fox, watch your words. My disciple is an innocent girl!"
Huyue realized his mistake and awkwardly laughed, "I’m sorry, it’s my fault! All my fault!"
Tian Zena wasn’t truly angry, so after a few laughs and curses, the matter was dropped.
"We have food, but what about wine?" Huyue asked, scratching his head.
"Haha, I came prepared!" Zhuge Cang laughed, then with a flick of his sleeve, a wine jar appeared on the table.
"Just one jar? Who’s that enough for?" Huyue complained.
"Fox King, no rush. Though it looks like one jar, it’s enough to get you drunk!" Zhuge Cang chuckled.
"I doubt it!" Huyue said skeptically.
But after just three cups, Huyue’s eyes began to blur, and his voice rose several notches.
"Excellent wine! Truly excellent wine!"
"With your drinking skills, anything can be excellent wine!" Ye Hanshang dismissed.
Everyone laughed heartily, their laughter echoing off the distant cloud sea, drawing the attention of passing Jian Sect disciples.
After three rounds of drinks, Ye Hanshang put down his cup and softly said, "I wonder what Old Xue is doing now!"
"Yeah! Along with Li Jingxing and Hu Huan, they left three days ago, with no word. What could they be up to?" Tian Zena sighed.
Suddenly, the mood around the table grew somber.
Then Huyue turned to Zhuge Cang, speaking slurred, "Old Taoist, you can divine what’s going on. Why not tell me what’s up with Brother Xue now?"
