Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 155 Blazing Chi Sword

The city lord Zheng Kai, who was standing nearby, should have known for a long time that Huo Jingtian was planning to take in a disciple. So when Huo Jingtian announced today that he was going to take in a disciple, Zheng Kai did not show much surprise. Instead, he showed a barely perceptible smile on his face, as if he had expected it.

He stood quietly aside, watching the interaction between Huo Jingtian and Shen Yun. He was quite envious of Shen Yun. With a Jindan master as his master, normally, as long as he didn't provoke the small group of top people, he could basically walk around the Liuyun Empire with his own way.

"Congratulations, Master Shen Yun." City Lord Zheng Kai walked forward with a smile on his face, congratulating sincerely. Then, he flipped his palm lightly, and an exquisite long box instantly appeared in his hand. Zheng Kai still smiled and said, "This city lord's family is poor, and he really can't compare with Lord Huo. Lord Huo's treasures are above the third level. And I only have a second-level middle-grade long sword, named Chi Chi Sword, and I will give it to Master Shen Yun as a gift for his apprenticeship."

"How can I be so embarrassed?" Shen Yun deliberately showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and at the same time stretched out his hand and slowly reached towards the long box. He took the Blazing Chi Sword at an extremely fast speed, so fast that Zheng Kai was a little unprepared, "Thank you for your expense, Lord City Lord."

"Of course, of course." Although the city lord Zheng Kai still replied with a smile, he secretly complained in his heart: "Sorry? How can you tell that you are embarrassed? You stretched out your hand too quickly. Before I could react, you had already taken the Blazing Chi Sword in your hand, and then in the blink of an eye you put it into your storage ring. The whole process was so skillful, it can be said to be smooth and seamless, it really makes me speechless."

At this time, Shen Jingyuan on the side said at the right time: "Now that Yun'er has successfully become a disciple, why don't you invite Lord Huo and City Lord Zheng to move to the front hall and have a few drinks there to celebrate Yun'er. What do you think?"

"Hahaha, of course there's no problem with that." Everyone present was not stupid, they naturally understood Shen Jingyuan's little calculations. They knew that at this moment the Shen family's front hall was hosting a banquet for all the big and small forces under his command, and Shen Jingyuan just wanted to take advantage of Shen Yun's apprenticeship to further push the Shen family's prestige to the peak.

However, Huo Jingtian didn't care about these things. He had always been alone and had no worries. Now that he finally got a beloved disciple, he was filled with joy. He loved Shen Jingyuan and didn't care about Shen Jingyuan's little calculations. Besides, Shen Yun was about to follow him to the Royal Academy of Liuyun City to practice. The stability of the Shen family was also very beneficial for Shen Yun to practice with peace of mind.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Shen." Seeing that Huo Jingtian looked calm and had no intention of objecting, the city lord Zheng Kai understood what was going on and readily agreed.

"You are too polite, Lord City Lord. Our two families should have more exchanges in the future." Shen Jingyuan also responded with a smile, with some deep meaning in his eyes, "This will also enhance the friendship between each other, which is good for the development of our two families." He knew in his heart that it was of great significance for the Shen family to have a closer relationship with the City Lord, and now, taking the opportunity of Shen Yun's apprenticeship, he could further consolidate this relationship.

Shen Jingyuan slightly turned sideways, called the butler beside him, and gave some instructions with a serious look. After all, since Huo Jingtian and the city lord were going to the table, they naturally had to prepare carefully. After all, this was a very important occasion, and there could be no carelessness or slackness. Therefore, in terms of wine, the top-grade and most mellow wines must be selected, and the dishes must also be of the highest standards. The most exquisite and delicious dishes must be used to entertain them, to show the sincerity of the Shen family and their respect for them.

After hearing the order, the butler immediately responded and left in a hurry to arrange various matters.

"Lord Huo, City Lord Zheng, please come this way." Shen Jingyuan slightly turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation, with a decent smile on his face.

Huo Jingtian nodded slightly and walked out.

"Brother Shen, please." City Lord Zheng Kai was not arrogant. He knew very well that the Shen family had already embraced Huo Jingtian's thighs, and their future development would be limitless. It was possible that he would need the care and help of the Shen family in the future, so it was the wisest choice to establish a good relationship in advance. He smiled just the right amount, and his tone was very gentle and humble, and then he and Huo Jingtian walked forward under the guidance of Shen Jingyuan.

When they returned to the front yard, they saw a brand new table that had been neatly prepared. The table looked extremely exquisite, with all kinds of delicacies made from second-level monster meat placed on exquisite tableware. There was the second-level red flame tiger meat, which was attractive in color and exuded a rich aroma, and was carefully cooked into a series of unique dishes; there were also delicacies made from second-level green shadow fish, which were tender and juicy, as if exuding a unique charm.

In addition to these delicious dishes, there were also several pots of second-level spiritual wine placed next to them. The spiritual wine was slightly rippling in the exquisite wine pot, as if it contained endless spiritual power and mellow fragrance, which made people salivate just by looking at it. In addition, there were also plates of second-level spiritual fruits placed in a staggered manner. Some of those spiritual fruits were red like gems, and some emitted strange light, which was obviously not ordinary.

This table of food and drinks, even for the city lord Zheng Kai, may not always be able to enjoy such an exquisite meal. After all, second-level monster meat, second-level spirit wine, and second-level spirit fruit are not easy to obtain. This requires a lot of manpower and material resources. For this celebration, the Shen family has put in a lot of effort to make this table look like a work of art.

After Shen Jingyuan led the two to their seats, he stood up and said to the guests below: "Everyone, please be quiet. I believe everyone is familiar with the two adults behind me."

Upon hearing this, the people below hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Greetings, Lord Huo!" "Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

Facing the greetings from everyone, Huo Jingtian just said "Hmm" calmly without any other expression. However, the city lord Zheng Kai was more friendly and responded with a smile: "No need to be polite."

After everyone finished their greetings, Shen Jingyuan smiled and said again: "Today, Master Huo has taken my nephew Shen Yun as his disciple. Here, please drink to your heart's content today. There will be plenty of wine. Butler, put a pot of first-grade spirit wine on each table."

When the people below heard this, they were stunned at first, their eyes full of astonishment and disbelief, and then their faces showed a mixture of surprise and envy. Some people immediately began to whisper to each other in low voices, discussing excitedly.

"Oh my, they actually took out a first-grade spirit wine. The Shen family is really generous this time!"

"That's right. It's such a rare opportunity to have the good fortune to taste the first-grade spirit wine."

"Master Shen Yun is so lucky that he was chosen by Master Huo as his disciple. It's amazing. We are also lucky to have benefited from him."

"Yes, I have said it before, Master Shen Yun is a genius, and he will soar to the sky sooner or later."

"Oh? Really? I wonder when you said that?"

"Hey, don't worry about these details."

Then, everyone shouted almost in unison: "Thank you, Patriarch Shen!" Then they anxiously cast their eyes towards the first-grade spirit wine that was about to be served, their eyes full of eager anticipation. The whole scene instantly became more lively and filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

At the same time, everyone looked at Shen Yun with envy and surprise in their eyes, secretly thinking how great it would be if they could have such an opportunity. Their envy of Shen Yun being accepted as Huo Jingtian's apprentice became even stronger.
