Chapter 521

Cursing someone to death as soon as they met, Xiao Jing's words shocked everyone at the table.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes. This person could tell at a glance that he didn't have much lifespan left.

"I see that you have a strong body and you look very young. You should be full of vigor, but your Mud-pill Palace is filled with an aura of death. That is a sign that only people who are at the end of their lifespan will have. That's strange. What have you been through? "

Xiao Jing looked at Gu Chen carefully, the confusion in his eyes growing.

He had seen Gu Chen at a glance and felt that he was a little special, so he deliberately chose to sit next to him.

But when he got closer and took a closer look, he was even more shocked. The other party's body was like a cloud of fog, so confusing that he couldn't see through it at first glance.

"Didn't your elders teach you to be polite when meeting someone for the first time?"

Gu Chen said indifferently.

Xiao Jing was stunned, then burst into laughter. "I'm sorry for my rudeness. My name is Xiao Jing. May I know your name?"

Gu Chen ignored him and took a sip of the wine in front of him.

Xiao Jing was a little embarrassed and his eyes turned cold. This person was so arrogant!

"Brother Xiao, this is Gu Chen of the Gu Clan, Frined Gu." Ding Yao took the initiative to speak, alleviating his embarrassment.

"A member of the Gu Clan?"

This time, Xiao Jing was even more shocked. He stared at Gu Chen with a puzzled expression.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Being stared at by Gu Chen without saying anything, the white ape was unhappy and waved its paw at Xiao Jing.

Only then did Xiao Jing notice White Ape. His eyes were filled with surprise. "What is this spirit beast's origin? I've never seen it before! "

His heart rippled. Whether it was Gu Chen or the white ape, he had a feeling that he couldn't figure them out.

This was something that was extremely rare among people of the same age!

"You'd better control your eyes."

After being stared at for so long, even if Gu Chen didn't like to stir up trouble, he still felt a little angry. He raised his head, and his eyes were as cold as a ten thousand year old lake.

When their eyes met, Xiao Jing's pupils suddenly shrank.

This person was not simple!

He quickly shifted his gaze and pretended not to care, but he was getting more and more curious about the people of the Gu Clan.

"Why is Brother Xiao here as well? Isn't the Heavenly Dao Sect not interested in the Sea and Sky Banquet?"

A person at the same table asked.

"I heard that the reward from Penglai Island Master is extraordinary and irresistible," Xiao Jing said with a smile.

"Oh? Does Fellow Xiao know what this year's reward is? "Everyone's curiosity was piqued.

Penglai Island Master always gave generous rewards to the Sea and Sky Feast that was held every ten years, which was why they came all the way here.

Moreover, he cherished talents. Usually, the prizes were especially useful to young cultivators, making them even more attractive.

However, Penglai Island Master always kept the contents of the prizes a secret, and they wouldn't know until the last moment.

"I won't tell you the details, lest you fight with me with all your might. It's not worth it."

Xiao Jing revealed a mysterious smile and didn't say more, which made everyone gnash their teeth in anger.

It was indeed his style to leak some information on purpose but not talk about it.

The point was that this guy might not be telling the truth. Maybe he didn't even know what the prizes were and only wanted to provoke them into fighting with all their might so that he could enjoy a good show.

"It's not strange that I'm here, but it's strange that Frined Gu is here."

"Everyone knows that the Gu Clan has a unique cultivation path, and the Penglai Island Master's reward is not attractive to them. That's why they receive invitations to the Sea and Sky Feast every time, but no one comes. Why is it an exception this year?"

Xiao Jing directed the topic to Gu Chen. Obviously, he couldn't forget the latter and wanted to know more about him through words.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Gu Chen responded calmly. "It's just a coincidence."

His answer was ambiguous, and the others didn't ask for more details. Xiao Jing looked regretful.

They continued to exchange their cultivation experiences, and more and more cultivators gathered on Penglai Mountain.

"How come that guy is sitting there?"

When Zhuang Fan, Priestess Ma, and the other four people arrived at the Daoist Hall, they were surprised to see Gu Chen sitting near the Penglai Pavilion.

"Daoist Zhuang, does that guy have a special background?"

They couldn't help but ask Zhuang Fan. After all, everyone who could sit at that table was a direct disciple of an immortal faction with a frightening background.

Overseas independent cultivators like them couldn't even sit at a corner of the Daoist Hall, let alone sit at that table!

"This … Frined Gu said that he is an overseas independent cultivator without a sect." Zhuang Fan was also puzzled.

"How can an overseas independent cultivator receive such a high treatment from Penglai Mountain?"

Priestess Ma's expression was ugly. A person they had just abandoned was now treated as a distinguished guest at the Sea and Sky Banquet. He was on equal footing with a group of upper-class cultivators that they might never interact with in their entire lives. The difference was too great!

"Maybe he hid his true identity from Daoist Zhuang, and he actually has a great background," one of the companions guessed.

Everyone's hearts sank when they heard this. If that was the case, didn't they offend someone they shouldn't have?

Not only that, they might have missed a great opportunity. Even if they were just walking with a disciple of such a great force, it would bring them many benefits.

"Daoist Zhuang said that his surname is Gu, right?" Another companion's face paled.

"But he said he has nothing to do with the Gu Clan." After Zhuang Fan finished speaking, his eyes showed deep regret.

He said he had nothing to do with them, but was there really nothing to do with them?

Maybe he just didn't want to talk about his family!

The seven people sitting in their seats felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, and they felt very uncomfortable.

Especially Priestess Ma, who had once offended Gu Chen, was even more anxious now. She kept her head down, afraid that Gu Chen would notice her.

In fact, the dojo was too big, and there was a sea of people here. Not only did Gu Chen not notice her, but even if he did, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to her.

Just as Gu Chen said, they weren't on the same realm, so he wouldn't make things difficult for her. It would only lower his status.

When the dojo was full and filled with people, the gate of Penglai Pavilion slowly opened.

All the guests who came to attend the Sea and Sky Banquet quieted down and looked expectantly.

Although Penglai Island Master showed his face once every ten years, he still felt excited when he saw many cultivators.

After all, Penglai Island Master had a very high status in the Penglai Immortal Island.

He was famous both at home and abroad, and his strength was unfathomable. He was one of the top masters in this territory.

Most importantly, he had a good reputation for cherishing talents and was generous. Anyone who caught his eye would definitely have an amazing opportunity.
