"How was it, you two? Our Three Immortals Gathering's banquet, wasn't it lively?" Yang Gang said proudly.
Leng Yun smiled without saying a word.
Yang Gang snorted: "The people who come here are the most powerful people in the area. If you were on your own, you would never encounter these people in your entire life."
Yang Gang's words were full of mockery.
Many people around had already noticed this eldest disciple of the Three Immortals Society. Seeing him mocking Leng Yun, they naturally sided with Yang Gang and echoed his laughter.
Another reason is that these people felt jealous when they saw the fairy-like girl next to Leng Yun.
Leng Yun toyed with the teacup in his hand, seemingly not taking these people seriously at all.
"Hmph, you sit here, I need to go and entertain our distinguished guest." Yang Gang snorted, emphasizing the words "distinguished guest."
Immediately, Yang Gang turned and walked away.
After a while, Yang Gang returned, accompanied by a bald, burly man. The man was not old, but because of his imposing physique, he gave off a feeling of overwhelming pressure.
"Hehe, little fairy, this is our VIP guest from the Three Immortals Gathering, the local lad from Qingling City," Yang Gang introduced, deliberately ignoring Leng Yun's presence.
This country bumpkin must be a celebrity, because as he walked along, people around him greeted him respectfully.
At this moment, the Earth Prince's eyes were fixed on the Fairy, and he looked like he was about to drool.
"Hello, fairy, I am Young Master Tu from Qingling City," Young Master Tu introduced himself.
The fairy blushed slightly and gently tugged at Leng Yun's arm.
This scene was witnessed by everyone, and the young master's face turned ugly.
Furthermore, Leng Yun remained seated there as if nothing had happened, completely disregarding his feelings.
The young master was somewhat annoyed with Leng Yun and couldn't help but snort coldly.
Yang Gang saw all of this and secretly gloated, hoping that the local tyrant would deal with Leng Yun.
Young Master Tu snorted. In the territory of the Eastern Sea Kingdom, no one had ever dared to treat him like this. Even if they didn't know his name, did they not know the reputation of his master?
Yang Gang, with a gloating look on his face, continued to say to Leng Yun, "Kid, do you even know who Young Master Tu's master is?"
Leng Yun shrugged. How would he know?
"I'm not afraid to tell you, but Young Master Tu's master is the famous Lord of Qingling City in our Haisi Kingdom, known as the Earth God," Yang Gang said proudly.
Clearly, everyone around knew the reputation of this local deity; the mere mention of those three words drew admiring glances from the crowd.
"Putting everything else aside, just the blood on the Earth God's body is enough to make him the number one practitioner of our Hai Si Earth God system!" Yang Gang continued to boast.
Leng Yun was taken aback, then suddenly realized something.
"Is your master's blood the blood of the Earth God?" Leng Yun asked.
Tu Gongzi was taken aback. His master's bloodline was special, but apart from a few people, no one could call him by name.
It seems that Leng Yun is quite a knowledgeable person.
Those around them didn't know what this so-called "blood of the Earth God" was, but upon hearing such an imposing name, they knew it was no ordinary thing.
"Hehe, how about that? Now you know how powerful I am." Yang Gang saw Leng Yun's surprised expression and assumed that Leng Yun was scared.
Leng Yun smiled slightly: "It really came to me without any effort."
"By the way, Young Master Tu, please come and sit at the main table." Yang Gang said respectfully, emphasizing the words "main table."
Young Master Tu snorted, ignoring Leng Yun and the others, and sat down at the first table in the banquet hall.
Those people sitting at that table were the most distinguished guests of the Three Immortals Gathering; others could only watch with envious eyes.
Leng Yun looked at Tu Gongzi, already secretly planning her trip to Qingling City.
At some point, Yang Gang returned.
"Hehe, it's no use looking. Only the person with the highest status can sit in that position in the main family. You are not worthy at all," Yang Gang mocked Leng Yun.
As they were talking, three old men appeared in the hall. These three were the three elders of the Three Immortals Society, the three most powerful people in the entire Longyang City.
As soon as the three elders appeared, everyone present stood up respectfully to greet them, and even the young master Tu tactfully stood up to welcome them.
Only Leng Yun and Xiao Xiannv remained sitting there, chatting and laughing.
Before long, the three elders walked to Leng Yun's table.
They couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when they saw that Leng Yun didn't care about them at all.
"Did you bring this in?" the elder asked Yang Gang.
“Yes, this is my friend,” Yang Gang said with a gloating expression.
"Don't bring just anyone in here in the future. What kind of occasion is this? Is this a place for them to come in?" the elder said unhappily.
Yang Gang replied with a smug look on his face, "Yes, disciple understands."
Leng Yun found it amusing. Sure enough, like master, like disciple; the two of them had the same arrogant and condescending attitude.
"Then—should we kick them out?" Yang Gang asked loudly on purpose.
The surrounding crowd immediately burst into laughter and mockery.
The elder snorted, "No need. If there are too many people and there's no room for them to sit, then you can ask them to leave."
"You better watch yourself and don't cause any trouble. Our Three Immortals Society's elders are coming today," the Second Elder said.
"Ah!" Yang Gang exclaimed in slight surprise, "Could it be the Elder?"
The First Elder nodded: "Yes, haven't you always wanted to learn the Dragon Heaven Sword Technique from the Elder? This is a good opportunity to show your skills."
Yang Gang immediately became excited: "Yes, disciple understands."
Afterwards, the three elders left.
Since hearing the news that Elder Yuan was coming, Yang Gang had even forgotten to pay attention to Leng Yun and the others.
Before long, the greeters at the door shouted, "The Elder said!"
Immediately afterwards, the three elders, including Yang Gang, hurriedly went out to greet them.
This so-called elder statesman caused quite a stir in the banquet hall. Everyone stopped whispering and looked extremely ingratiating.
An old man walked in and exchanged a few pleasantries with the three elders.
Then, with the support of the three elders, he slowly walked towards the main table in the center of the hall.
Along the way, people on both sides greeted the elder respectfully, which showed that the elder held a very high position here.
Even the young master Tu stood up, smiling broadly as he waited for the elder to come to his side.
In the blink of an eye, the elder had already walked to Leng Yun's table.
Only then did Leng Yun realize that this elder was none other than Elder Long.
