Chapter 1397 Hundred Aroma House (2/2)

“You receive news so slow. It was elders Chu Qing and Li Qingchan who booked out the entire Hundred Aroma House. Also, do you know who they invited to dinner? It’s our senior brother Zhou Yuan, whose name is known throughout all-heavens!”

“Senior brother Zhou Yuan?! Our legendary senior brother?!”

“I heard that senior brother Zhou Yuan returned today and combined the four great sacred sects to form the Cangxuan Alliance to fight against the Sacred Palace. Also, senior brother Zhou Yuan is the leader of the Cangxuan Alliance!”

“Impressive…senior brother Zhou Yuan is indeed the most outstanding disciple in the history of the Cangxuan Sect.”

“......”

A feast was organized on the top floor.

A smooth bald head was always the most eye-catching feature, but even so, it didn’t affect senior brother Chu Qing’s handsomeness.

“Junior Brother Zhou Yuan, thank you for hiding my brilliance. Otherwise the title of most outstanding disciple in the history of the Cangxuan Sect would fall on me. I would be in so much pain that I don’t want to live if that happened,” Chu Qing gratefully said to Zhou Yuan.

Li Qingchan, Ye Ge and the others could only roll their eyes, thinking that he was so thick-skinned. However, they also understood that those were indeed Chu Qing’s heartfelt words. He was so lazy that he would rather disguise himself as the most ordinary disciple because that means no one would give him all sorts of tasks and missions.

“Senior brother Chu Qing, you don't need to thank me. My brilliance can’t be concealed so easily. I have already tried my best to keep a low-profile but my strength won’t allow me to do so.” Zhou Yuan sighed as he raised his wine glass and clinked Chu Qing’s.

Chu Qing nodded. “I understand, I understand.”

Li Qingchan couldn't stand them any longer and interrupted, “Enough. Don’t affect our appetite.”

However, a nostalgic smile lit up everyone’s faces as they looked at each other. This was the first time that Zhou Yuan returned to the Cangxuan Sect after all the changes. The people present, such as Kong Sheng, have had several conflicts with Zhou Yuan in the past, but when they think back to those times, they had to say they were too young and reckless.

While Zhou Yuan was reminiscing about the past with everyone, he suddenly felt something and turned his head to see a chubby figure on the stairs. He occasionally cast furtive glances over and his eyes were filled with curiosity and respect.

The figure panicked when he saw Zhou Yuan’s gaze and hurriedly shrank back and was about to leave.

But just as he moved, he found he was standing in front of the table with beads of cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

The banquet fell silent.

Zhou Yuan stared at the somewhat chubby figure in front of him. The chubby man’s face was ugly and scars covered his body like centipedes. He was wearing a chef robe, and he couldn’t help rubbing his hands nervously while sweat ran down his face like rain.

Additionally, he didn’t exude the slightest wave of Genesis Qi, and it wasn’t that he concealed it but he had none.

Zhou Yuan calmly stared at the chubby man’s ugly face. The man’s head was hung low and he avoided his gaze, but his eyes were filled with complex emotions and it was unknown whether they were anticipation or fear.

Zhou Yuan finally shifted his gaze away. The chubby man heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly wanted to escape.

But Zhou Yuan's voice made him freeze.

“Shen Wanjin…”

“How did you become like this?”

Looking at the man’s almost unrecognizable face, Zhou Yuan remembered a little chubby man who followed him everywhere and always addressed him as little Yuan bro and Yaoyao as little Yao sis.
