That day, Situ Hai Tang made some arrangements for Xu Que, Shang Ling, and his old peers to sit down together and enjoy tea.

Shang Ling had also asked Shang Wu to join the crowd and severely criticized him in front of Xu Que.

Shang Wu felt rather upset and dared not to contradict his father, since his father had warned him that if he dared to speak one more word, he would cancel his engagement with Situ Hai Tang.

That was why he had ”willingly” accepted all the reprimanding.

Shang Wu looked at Xu Que from time to time and secretly sneered.

…

Before he joined the crowd, Shang Wu had already been told by someone he absolutely trusted that his message had been delivered to the Gong Family overseas. He had spent hundreds of Spiritual Stones of top quality on this.

The Gong Family had already sent out four powerful men in the Infant Transformation Stage, and Shang Wu's cousin, his aunt's son, was among them. In just a few days, they would arrive at the Snow City.

Shang Wu was very happy that he could finally get his revenge. He was sure that he could win, since he was one of the few from Five Element Mountain who knew how powerful the cultivators overseas were.

Compared with the cultivators on Five Element Mountain, the cultivators overseas were much more powerful, both in the regards to magic inscription and the toughness of their bodies.

However, in fact, Xu Que had already known something was not right with Shang Wu.

This b*stard must have some other schemes. If he really intends to kill me, I'll just let my thunder illusion body kill him.

…

During the tea party, Shang Ling and his old peers talked happily about Taoism and a wide range of subjects.

Xu Que had no idea what they were talking about, but he still managed to act tough by nodding and making the gestures like he was contemplating from time to time.

After all, unlike him, they had all become cultivators by studying Taoism and cultivating. As for Xu Que, he had done so by killing people and knew nothing about Taoism, so he just kept silent all through the party.

Seeing this, Situ Hai Tang thought Xu Que was being silent on purpose. She gently touched him with her hand to send him a message. ”Xu Que, it's rather rude for you to be silent all this time. You should at least say something, anything you want to say at all!”

”Oh!” Xu Que forced out a smile.

Anything I want to say at all? Are you kidding me? Acting tough on purpose is something I detest very much.

Shang Ling saw Xu Que smiling and asked, ”Young man, you are much more superior than any of us both in regards to talent and strength. Would you mind sharing some of your thoughts on Taoism with us?”

Hearing this, Xu Que was speechless.

Oh no! How on earth would I have thoughts on Taoism? No! No! No! I am the King of Acting Tough, I cannot possibly lose face due to this. Yes, I know I am not good at talking about this so-called Taoism, but still, I know I can brag!

All of a sudden, his body trembled, and he said with a very serious face, ”Sect Leader Shang, you are being rather modest. You were talking about Tao just now, but I wonder if you've ever thought about what Tao really is?”

Hearing this, Shang Ling, Situ Hai Tang, and the rest of the people became confused.

What Tao really is?

Obviously, no one thought Xu Que would say something like this.

It seemed that everyone present knew something about Tao, but as for what it really is, it wasn't easy to give a clear answer immediately.

”My god! None of you have any idea what Tao really is? Haven't your teachers said anything to you about this in high school? I can answer this question in only one sentence,” Xu Que shook his head.

High school? What is that?

Xu Que closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

”The Tao that can be expressed is not the eternal Tao; the Name that can be expressed is not the eternal Name.”

Hearing this, everyone around was stunned.

This is very difficult to understand! The Tao that can be expressed is not the eternal Tao?

They all looked at Xu Que and saw him closing his eyes and slightly frowning. It seemed like he was meditating. He looked like a God who was preaching to his followers.

He really is brilliant!

He's so young, yet he already has such a high mastery of Tao. We, no, everyone in the Cultivation World, should learn from him.
