Chapter 684: 684


After hearing Wu Yu's name, the gathered youths finally realized the identity of the person that Princess You Xue had brought .

A few days ago, they had heard news of the Taigu Immortal Path, where a person called Wu Yu had spread news of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord being reincarnated . It had caused a huge scare, and rumor had it that something had indeed happened over at the Dong Sheng Divine Continent .

However, the story said that it did not seem to be anything major .

And therefore, the Yan Dragon Army had returned as well .

Wu Yu was from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, and they had an impression of this name . Especially the two that had gone to the Taigu Immortal Path .

However, they were not in an important position in this situation .

In response to the query, Princess You Xue replied, "After you all left, Wu Yu and I had dealings, and he helped me . In order to repay him, he will accompany me as a companion from now on . "

These words raised a collective gasp . They were all friends of Princess You Xue, but of a lower status . Ordinarily, they would not be able to interact much with Princess You Xue .

Instead, it was Wu Yu who could stay by her side?

"Don't be shocked . We are all friends here, and there will be plenty of opportunities to meet . " Here, Princess You Xue did not put on airs, but was easygoing . She said, "Today's purpose is to taste alcohol and discuss dao . Everyone, be at ease . Xiao Die, introduce everyone to Wu Yu . "

The girl she had called was sitting nearby . She was a petite and cute girl, in long robes of pink . She was wearing a pink butterfly ornament and was a moving picture . She was a strange sight and the center of attention before Princess You Xue had arrived .

Being so ordered by Princess You Xue, she started and regarded Wu Yu covertly . She was curious, but held her questions as she began to make the introductions . She first began with herself, saying, "I am called You Xiao Die . "

Princess You Xue added, "She's my aunt's daughter, and sort of my sister . "

So she was the daughter of City Lord Yuan . No wonder they looked alike .

And then You Xiao Die began to introduce the others . As expected, they all came from noble lineages . They were the sons and daughters of excerpts . Some held important stations and positions within the Dark North Kingdom, or commanded great armies . Some were city lords of central cities, and even state lords .

Although they could not compare to Princess You Xue, the power that backed them was definitely not something that Wu Yu could deal with .

Wu Yu committed all of them to memory . These were the people that he would interact with in the future . . . and even clash with .

The one with the deepest impression was the youth whom Princess You Xue had commanded to relinquish his seat to Wu Yu . He was originally with You Xiao Die, and was the son of the North Pole Provincial Lord . His name was Gu Ming .

The North Pole Province was vast, encompassing the Immortal City of Northern Frost . The Immortal City of Northern Frost had once been a fortress of the North Pole Province, but later had been deemed too important and therefore pulled out of the North Pole Province . It was personally governed by royal kin, which was why You Yuan was now here .

The North Pole Province and the Immortal City of Northern Frost were very close, so Gu Ming and You Xiao Die had had a good relationship since young . Their affectionate ways spoke of dao companionship down the road .

However, perhaps because Princess You Xue had made Gu Ming give up his seat, Gu Ming had a look of resentment in his eyes . To him, giving up his seat like that was very embarrassing .

After all, he knew that Wu Yu was from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent .

Perhaps he did not understand why Princess You Xue favored Wu Yu so highly .

After You Xiao Die had completed the introductions, Princess You Xue said, "Everyone, carry on . Don't shy away . This contemplation of dao is for everyone to be bold . Don't be reticent just because I am here . "

"That's true . Let's continue . " You Xiao Die could not stand this stiff atmosphere either, and cracked a pretty smile .

"Yes, yes . "

Everyone began to get back into it . Wu Yu did not know what it was like, so he simply watched .



"Discussing dao is good . But dao discussion in the Yan Huang Ancient Region has recently evolved to become snobbish and meaningless . These people are gathered together to network," Ming Long said, full of contempt .

She had a candid personality, and naturally found these people pretentious .

However, Wu Yu could understand that . On a national level, the world of cultivation was similar to the mortal kingdoms . For example, these sons of princes and aristocrats acted the same way .

They began to discuss . For dao discussion, they would begin with a toast . One person would begin, toasting everyone before saying their piece . They would speak on their latest revelations about dao . Wu Yu very seldom heard others speak about dao, and it was all about their own hardships . As he heard their sharings, it did spark some interesting thoughts for him .

The main point was that his contemplation of dao was much lower compared to the others . That was why the discussion of dao amongst this geniuses could provide some pointers to Wu Yu .


"I have finished speaking . Thank you, everyone . "

After each person finished speaking, everyone would return the toast . Because dao discussion was private, not even ladies-in-waiting could enter, so everyone poured their own cups and then toasted each other to show respect .

Wu Yu watched as everyone drank . After hearing their sharings, he felt that what they said had been meaningful . Since he too had listened to them, then he should also make the toast of respect . He followed their lead, pouring, raising, and then drinking .

However, he drank very quickly, finishing it in one gulp . After he put his cup down, he noticed that everyone else was still sipping and savoring it . He then recalled that when the person had made their toast, they had drunk slowly .

Now that he thought about it, the taste of the alcohol was indeed exquisite . A mellow fragrance from the first taste, and a lingering sweetness in the mouth . As it entered the belly, a wave of warmth spread out, and his entire body felt stronger, and his eyes became even more keen . It was truly a top-grade alcohol, equivalent to immortal medicine .

    

Wu Yu had just finished drinking when someone across the room remarked, "The quality vintage of immortality peaches - you actually finished it in one gulp? Quality vintages should be savored . Those from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent are truly ignorant . . . . " Everyone turned to look at Wu Yu upon hearing this comment, and many began to snicker and shake their heads . Evidently, they looked upon Wu Yu's uncivilized drinking manner with scorn .

Wu Yu had not expected Gu Ming to pick on such a petty thing . It was truly as snobbish as Ming Long had described .

Of course, he was born in a royal palace himself, and understood the sense of superiority and arrogance that these people felt .



"Shut up . " Without thinking much, Princess You Xue retorted immediately upon hearing this, her expression changing .

Immediate silence .

Gu Ming flushed and felt very crushed . He had not expected Princess You Xue to take the side of this outsider . He only spoke the truth, and his shame turned to anger . However, he understood now that, for whatever reason, Princess You Xue favored Wu Yu greatly . From the looks that You Xiao Die was shooting him now, he understood that taunting Wu Yu at this time was just setting himself against Princess You Xue .

That was why he hurried to apologize . "Brother Wu Yu, I spoke in haste . I am deeply sorry . "

Wu Yu smiled and replied, "No matter . You spoke rightly . A quality vintage should indeed be savored . "

The conflict was smoothed over, but everyone naturally still held their own opinions . And this son of the North Pole Province Lord was still glum .

Everyone had seen the way that Princess You Xue treated Wu Yu, and everyone knew how to read the mood . Instantly, their attitudes towards Wu Yu improved significantly . During the dao discussion, they even drew Wu Yu in .

"It is your first time here . Just listen . There is no need for you to speak . " When it came to Wu Yu's turn, he was conflicted, and unsure of what to say . Princess You Xue saved him .

Of course, the others could not be bothered to listen to him either .

However, in truth, Wu Yu was out of place here listening to their treatises . He was truly getting a steal . Some of the troubles he was previously facing had been resolved here - an unexpected gain .

In addition to the medical potency of the immortality peach brew, his belly was on fire after a kettle of it . The powerful alcohol stimulated his Violet Kingdom of the Inner Sea, increasing Wu Yu's Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy .

Evidently, the alcohol that the Imperial Enchanting Palace provided was not cheap . Only such people could afford it . It was a symbol of status .

"It seems like this alcohol tasting and dao discussion is indeed effective . Although in such a setting and manner, it is indeed a little snobbish . "

Fundamentally, it was useful . Only, there were too many frills, such as the toasts and the occasional poetry breaks . . . .



After the better part of a day, the event finally ended . Basically everyone had spoken about their recent revelations, besides Wu Yu .

Princess You Xue made ready to leave, and Wu Yu followed suit .

Everyone stood up to see them off .

When they discussed dao, they were friends . After they sent her off, she was a princess again, high above them .

Wu Yu felt that he would gain much from such a life .

Although he fought fiercely, he knew in his heart that martial cultivation was about dao comprehension . It was one's cultivation level that decided whether you made it to immortalhood .

Otherwise, no matter how strong you were, you were still mortal .

Unexpectedly, someone pushed open the door and burst in as they were leaving . Wu Yu saw that it was a warrior-like youth, clad in purple armor . He held a very high grade dao treasure, and this person was an impressive figure, his aura intimidating even before he was angry . He exuded the coldness and resilience of one honed in battle, something that not even Gu Ming could match .

"Princess!" This person barged in, clearly looking for Princess You Xue .

Princess You Xue looked at him, slightly displeased . "Yin Xuan, why are you here? And such barbaric manners!"

Although Wu Yu did not know this person, he knew You Xue's thoughts . At this moment, she was a little flustered and anxious . Clearly, she was unhappy with this person, but the fact that this person dared to conduct himself in this way spoke of his own high status within the Dark North Kingdom .

The person called Yin Xuan hurriedly shook his head . "I am sorry . I was too hasty . I apologize to the Princess . " He hurriedly bowed, and his gaze slid to Wu Yu . Wu Yu guessed that he might be Yin Xuan's true target .
