Ye Kai felt a sense of curiosity for the first time about someone. Moreover, this person was a man.
However, he quickly shook his head with a chuckle, for Yang Guang had already begun to wholeheartedly tackle the roasted pig on the table, eating with great enthusiasm and using both hands!
In fact, when he couldn't find a napkin, he simply wiped his greasy face with his sleeve!
Seeing how much Yang Guang could eat, Ye Kai suddenly felt a mischievous impulse rise within him. Taurus was indeed the representative of gluttony, after all!
Thinking about it, even though this was a Low-Level Fantasy Dimension, there weren't many delicacies in this era. Even as an emperor, Yang Guang might not have tasted much.
Moreover, this delicious food was meticulously prepared by specialized robotic chefs.
But surprisingly, watching Yang Guang enjoy his meal so much made Ye Kai feel a bit hungry himself, and he began to savor the exquisite Chinese cuisine as well.
Before they knew it, midnight had passed.
The initial lively atmosphere had gradually quieted down, but this was relative; with Ye Kai's unlimited supply of delicacies and roasted whole cows and sheep—there were even nearly a hundred camels—the feast was extravagant enough to leave ordinary wealthy individuals speechless. Even representatives from various factions had changed their expressions dramatically.
In their eyes, this was all money!
At that moment, around the increasingly quiet main tent, there were individuals either closing their eyes in concentration or furrowing their brows in thought as they awaited Ye Kai's summons.
Yang Guang, having eaten and drunk to his heart's content, yawned without any regard for appearances. Yet he didn't leave; instead, he propped his chin on one hand and boredly gazed at the tent's entrance while waiting.
Ye Kai elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth. Though not as casual as Yang Guang, he leaned back lazily in his chair, crossed his legs, and sat quietly at the table.
Meanwhile, robots had already prepared two cups of hot tea for them.
The steam rose gently from the cups like playful children, occasionally obscuring Ye Kai's face. In the not-so-dim light, it gave him an ethereal quality.
Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps echoed from outside, causing Yang Guang to immediately perk up and adjust his robe in a pretentious manner.
"Compassionate Voyage Quiet Abode, Master Feixuan, I humbly request an audience with the Immortal Master!"
Seeing that his celestial master did not respond, Kou Zhong squinted his eyes and began to scrutinize the newcomer, lost in thought.
On the other side of the door, Xu Ziling seemed to want to speak but hesitated. After seeing his good brother shake his head slightly, he sighed inwardly and chose to remain silent.
Whether it was truly fate or not, Ye Kai clearly saw Xu Ziling standing outside. The moment he laid eyes on Master Feixuan, it was as if he had been struck by some fatal temptation; his expression showed signs of struggle.
Amidst his confusion, he also caught sight of the woman who truly resembled a Celestial Exile.
Her unadorned face seemed to be shrouded in a hazy halo, and the righteousness between her brows added an air of transcendence and purity.
Yet, Ye Kai could never muster strong feelings for this woman, even if she did float through the mortal realm like an immortal.
His impression still lingered on Su Dongpo's poem "On the Red Cliffs": "Though a single reed may float upon vast waters, it is lost in the boundless expanse. Majestic as if riding the wind through the void, unaware of where it will stop; drifting lightly as if detached from the world, transcending into immortality."
Perhaps Master Feixuan was like the Goddess of Guya, capable of transforming even filth into sanctity, which made these 'common mortals' feel ashamed of their imperfections. However, shouldn't an immortal be above all things, wandering freely without concern for worldly matters?
The heart that should have been devoid of distractions now found itself tainted by dust. No matter how Compassionate Voyage Quiet Abode tried to embellish or cleanse itself, it had already become entangled in worldly affairs.
It was a pity for this woman; ultimately, she was burdened by her sect's shamelessness and drawn into this conflict.
Perhaps influenced by her sect's hierarchical views or perhaps due to the overwhelming power of Compassionate Voyage Quiet Abode's brainwashing techniques, even though she proclaimed her mission to "save all people," she still held biases against Kou Zhong, who came from humble beginnings. She believed he could never be a wise ruler.
Instead, she regarded Li Shimin, who hailed from nobility, as the true sage king, thereby undermining Kou Zhong's potential for unity.
For this reason alone, even if she were a True Immortal, Ye Kai could not muster much fondness for her.
Well then!
Ye Kai couldn't help but glance at the woman a few more times, but he quickly lost interest in her allure.
Instead, it was the old man who stood still yet seemed to create an insurmountable distance that made Ye Kai realize something.
Who is this?!
At that moment, although Ye Kai was merely acting, his Mind Control Ability had grown increasingly powerful, allowing him to sense that this person was undoubtedly a formidable expert!
After a careful observation, he had to admit that the man’s ethereal demeanor rivaled that of the celestial beings depicted in films, yet he appeared even more refined. It seemed only the leader of the Taoist Sect—Sage Ning Daoqi—could match such presence!
“Ah!”
Without any movement from Ning Daoqi, his previously serene aura suddenly solidified, and a fleeting brilliance flashed in his eyes. “Ning Daoqi pays respects to the senior!”
His voice was rather abrupt, shattering the tranquil atmosphere and causing everyone to exchange puzzled glances.
Ye Kai hadn’t anticipated that Ning Daoqi's cultivation was so formidable that he could detect Ye Kai's slight attention.
With a sly smile creeping onto his lips, Ye Kai feigned a harsh tone and asked, “Ning, what path do you cultivate? What insights have you gained? What clarity do you possess? And what brings you here to see this Sect? What do you represent?”
If Ning Daoqi’s sudden appearance and unexpected words had jolted everyone from their reverie regarding Master Feixuan’s celestial beauty, then Ye Kai’s remarks left them even more bewildered while stirring unease within them.
It seemed this immortal was not as easy to please as they had imagined!
For them, it appeared as though a true immortal was testing the knowledge of his juniors. If they couldn’t respond adequately, it might significantly impact their future paths!
Don’t be foolish, Ancient Humans!
Each member of this group was astute; those who could stand out among numerous factions were certainly not ordinary individuals!
Master Feixuan furrowed her brow slightly. She didn’t understand why this immortal senior would harbor dissatisfaction towards her. Yet, nearing the realm of Sword Heart Clarity, she could genuinely sense an air of disappointment and regret emanating from him.
This made her immediately stop her attempt to speak again and turn to look at one of the three Grandmasters, Ning Sanren.
"Old Ning, are you here to be a guest at Compassionate Voyage Quiet Abode, or are you here as a muscle?" At that moment, Yang Guang suddenly spoke up.
This left many people in shock.
After all, he was the emperor—a true emperor.
Even though they all harbored thoughts of rebellion, facing this emperor still made them feel a bit uneasy. For a moment, they exchanged glances, and the already quiet atmosphere became even more silent.
"This humble Daoist greets Your Majesty."
Ning Daoqi said sincerely, "Although I am but a Sage from a distant land, hearing Your Majesty mention 'guest' and 'muscle' makes me realize that there is a significant misunderstanding and prejudice towards me and Compassionate Voyage Quiet Abode. This truly puzzles me."
Ye Kai felt a stir in his heart and chose not to interrupt their conversation; instead, he decided to see how Yang Guang would respond.
After all, when faced with someone like Ning Daoqi, who was said to have an exceptionally high level of cultivation, mere words of mockery or insult would likely be ineffective.
Moreover, did Yang Guang really know how to insult someone?
Ye Kai expressed his doubts.
