458: The Holy Son of Tongxin Demon Sect, Xu Sanyan
Wanhua Sword Sect's Senior Sister, Song Zhizhi, frowned slightly, looking at Xu Sanyan with displeasure.
"What an arrogant fellow, without an ounce of courtesy! Everyone else is standing, but he's sitting.
Who is he putting on a show for?" On the seats, the other women also glanced at Xu Sanyan, their thoughts mirroring Song Zhizhi's, and they disliked him even more.
Xu Sanyan, however, paid no mind to what others thought, simply drinking with his back to the main door.
"This wine tastes pretty good, actually, a bit sweet," he mused.
Yue Shanhe also noticed this scene and was startled.
"What's wrong with Brother Xu? If my grandfather sees this, he'll think I'm idle all day, only making friends with rascals like him."
So, he condensed Qi into a thread and transmitted a message to him, "Brother Xu, quickly stand up, Lu Family Elder is here."
Before Xu Sanyan could react, Princess Lu WanZhe, whose eyes were darting around, frowned tightly, her gaze fixed on Xu Sanyan's back.
She pondered in her mind, "Such a familiar back... Have I seen it somewhere before?"
Princess Lu WanZhe slowly contemplated, gradually overlapping it with a figure in her mind.
She swallowed and whispered, "Brother... that person looks so familiar..."
Lu Wang followed his sister's gaze, his sight passing through the gaps in the crowd to land on that back.
He seemed to realize something too, and his pupils slowly widened.
Yue Family Old Ancestor saw the siblings staring at one spot and couldn't help but turn to look.
He saw a person pouring wine for himself, treating everyone else as if they weren't there, utterly rude.
Thus, anger inevitably rose in his heart.
"Whose disciple is this, so ignorant of propriety?"
Yue Shanhe saw that Xu Sanyan didn't react to his transmission, and his heart grew increasingly anxious.
He already regretted inviting him, as it had needlessly lowered his standing in his grandfather's heart.
Princess Lu WanZhe's vision could no longer accommodate anything else; only that figure gradually magnified in her mind.
Her voice trembled as she said, "Brother... is he Xu...?"
At this moment, Lu Family Elder also noticed their unusual behavior and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"
Lu Wang had naturally heard about Xu Sanyan's actions, but he didn't want to believe it was such a coincidence that he would encounter this fiend in this remote place.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became eerily quiet.
The three members of the Lu Family all looked at Xu Sanyan's back.
Yue Family Old Ancestor also followed their gaze, and together, everyone's eyes converged on this spot.
"Brother Xu..." Yue Shanhe's voice trembled slightly; he still held a glimmer of hope.
"It can't be, can it? Just not standing up to greet caused such serious consequences? Are the Lu Family people so petty?"
The women of Wanhua Sword Sect at the same table looked at Xu Sanyan with mockery.
"Heh... go ahead and show off.
Now look, how will you deal with this?"
"Bang~" The wine pot was gently placed on the table.
Xu Sanyan stood up, straightened his robes, and slowly turned around, looking directly at Lu Wang.
A gentle smile spread across his lips.
Boom!! It was like a bolt from the clear sky, striking Lu Wang's head fiercely, utterly shattering the last shred of illusion in his heart.
It was him! It really was him! He would never forget this face!
"Xu... San... Yan..." Princess Lu WanZhe spoke one word at a time, her fingers trembling uncontrollably in minute details.
A dark vortex seemed to swirl in her eyes, countless ghostly figures screaming and struggling horribly behind him, like a Hell on earth.
"Xu Sanyan?" Lu Family Elder heard Princess Lu WanZhe's whisper, and his heart instantly tightened.
He asked in disbelief, "Which Xu Sanyan?"
Before Lu Wang could answer, Xu Sanyan spoke softly, introducing himself, "I am the Demon Sect Saint of Tongxin Demon Sect, Xu Sanyan.
It's a pleasure to meet you all."
To prevent them from misunderstanding, Xu Sanyan added, "Oh, that's the notorious Demonic Path fiend, the one whose son has no asshole, the one who luckily wasn't struck dead by heavenly lightning, Xu Sanyan."
After speaking, he specifically greeted Lu Wang, "Brother Lu, long time no see."
Lu Wang seemed to have just come back to his senses, revealing a smile uglier than a cry.
"Brother Xu, why are you here?"
Upon hearing Lu Wang personally confirm that this person was Xu Sanyan, everyone felt as if the sky had fallen.
The air instantly became dead silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
How could this be? How could Xu Sanyan appear here? Shouldn't he be fleeing from Gan Country's pursuit? How dare he show his face so openly?
The most shocked were Yue Shanhe and the women of Wanhua Sword Sect.
Yue Shanhe would never have imagined that the person he casually pulled off the street was the infamous Demon Sect Saint, the Xu Sanyan who had sacrificed five cities with blood!
Yue Shanhe didn't know what kind of mood he should be in; in short, he felt like he was somewhat dead.
Even if Xu Sanyan didn't kill him, others probably wouldn't let him go.
And Song Zhizhi was utterly bewildered, as if she still couldn't believe her ears.
"Are you saying that the person who just swore to grind Xu Sanyan to dust and refine his soul is Xu Sanyan?"
"Are you saying that when we were just cursing Xu Sanyan, he himself was sitting here watching us curse, and then even chimed in?"
Song Zhizhi felt this joke wasn't funny at all.
Yue Family Old Ancestor felt the same way; he even felt that today's banquet was a bit superfluous.
Xu Sanyan smiled calmly, "You all don't need to mind me; the banquet can continue.
Brother Lu, if you don't mind, how about you sit at the same table with me?
It's not easy to meet an acquaintance; we should naturally get closer."
After speaking, Xu Sanyan looked at Princess Lu WanZhe again, "Oh, and Young Miss Lu, we've met a few times too.
Come join us."
Lu Wang looked at Lu Family Elder, his eyes filled with despair.
His Elder was only at Soul Refinement Completion; let alone competing with Xu Sanyan, he couldn't even run away.
"Hoo..." Lu Wang took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his violently pounding heart.
Since things had come to this, fear was useless.
It was better to be open; even if he died, he would appear more composed.
"Brother Xu's invitation, I dare not refuse."
Lu Wang quickly adjusted his state and generously came to sit beside Xu Sanyan.
Princess Lu WanZhe looked at her brother for help; she didn't want to be near Xu Sanyan, nor did she want to sit with him.
Lu Wang bravely said, "My sister needs to find her close friend; how about I accompany Brother Xu instead?"
"Hehe, that's fine, of course." Xu Sanyan nodded.
Those who understood Xu Sanyan knew that he was actually very easy to talk to and not bloodthirsty.
He wondered why these people were so afraid of him.
"Everyone, don't just stand there; please take your seats quickly." Xu Sanyan gestured.
"Whoosh--" Suddenly, a figure leaped over the wall, escaping into the distance like a shooting star, moving incredibly fast.
Lu Wang pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly.
These people simply didn't know what the He Dao Realm was; they actually deluded themselves into thinking they could escape from a He Dao Realm expert?
"Bang~!" The distant figure suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of blood mist and dissipating, leaving no bones behind.
Xu Sanyan calmly withdrew his palm and raised his cup, gesturing, "I love lively atmospheres the most.
How about you all stay here and keep me company?"
Yue Shanhe was stunned; this sentence sounded so familiar.
Yesterday, when he invited him, he seemed to have said something about letting him come and liven things up...
