within a remote private room of the immortal intoxication building, a sandalwood incense burner was burning, filling the room with a faint fragrance.
there were two people sitting on a prayer mat. one of them was a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her thirties. the other was wearing a bamboo hat and a white veil that covered her face. however, her lithe figure made it obvious she was a woman. the two of them were looking at each other.
“pavilion master, why did you call me over?” asked the veiled woman. her voice was clear and melodious, almost sounding like music.
“just now, xiao lu[1] reported that long chen has come to our immortal intoxication building,” said the older woman.
“it’s not odd for him to come here.”
“yes, it’s not odd. such a small matter is not worth disturbing you. however, there’s something more important. xiao lu said that long chen formed a resonance with the ninth generation heavenly music divine emissary.”
“what?!”
“the painting of the ninth divine emissary formed a resonance with him. when i heard that news, even i didn’t believe it. but xiao lu said she was absolutely sure.
“those paintings in the corridors are of our illusive music immortal palace’s top experts from the immortal era.
“now, the splendor from the immortal era has already been destroyed. the only complete inheritance we have left is those paintings.
“each of those paintings contains the dao charm of those almighty seniors, all in hopes that our disciples will be able to use our seniors’ dao charm to comprehend their own daos.
“however, those paintings in the corridors are not the original paintings. during the process of copying them, ninety-nine percent of their charm is lost. but long chen was still able to form a resonance with the ninth divine emissary. it seems long chen’s temperament must have something in common with her,” sighed the pavilion master.
“that really is hard to believe. it’s said that the ninth divine emissary had an odd life. she possessed an innate heaven-defying divine music that was specialized towards the path of slaughter.
“she fought her whole life, slaughtering gods and devils. the corpses that fell to her hands piled up like mountains. her killing intent was so strong that it could make even the sky bleed blood and all things quiver.
“the ninth generation divine emissary was also the only person from our illusive music immortal palace who has slaughtered supreme experts from the righteous path. it really is puzzling how long chen could form a resonance with her,” said the veiled woman.
the pavilion master nodded. “this long chen seems to have a lofty and unyielding character, someone who cares about relationships and emotions. that doesn’t make him seem like a bloodthirsty monster, so it is odd. when you and yu tong watched long chen fight, did you sense anything in particular?”
the maiden shook her head. “he was extremely powerful, his strength comparable to celestials. but there is a strange energy within him that isolates him from being spied on. my heavenly music arts were unable to sense his true mental state. perhaps my cultivation level is just too lacking.”
“your heavenly music arts have already reached the fifth level. even ordinary sea expansion experts are unable to conceal themselves from your senses. this long chen really is odd.”
“does pavilion master have any plans?” asked the maiden.
“this long chen has no relation to us. however, since he could form a resonance with a painting of a divine emissary, that would mean he should have some kind of destiny with our illusive music immortal palace.
“however, of our 4948 paintings, he only had a resonance with the ninth divine emissary. i don’t dare act blindly. i’ve already had yu tong go probe long chen. i’ll make a decision after,” said the pavilion master.
outside of the screens, countless red eyes were glaring towards them. those eyes were filled with envy. their table had become the focal point of the whole room.
long chen’s actions caused that woman to laugh. her laughter was extremely beautiful, causing people to feel very comfortable.
“mister long chen, you really possess an interesting character. handling things magnanimously without bothering about trifling matters makes a broad-hearted man of character.” yu tong smiled.
“flattery, flattery. if you want to choose a husband, someone like me is really the top choice. miss yu tong, your vision is really amazing.” long chen gave yu tong a thumbs-up.[2]
shameless, too shameless. he had actually twisted her words to make himself sound amazing. mo nian was speechless.
yu tong hadn’t expected long chen to be so shameless, and her face turned slightly red, a trace of anger flashing within her eyes. she had never run into someone like this.
“hmph, such a coarse person was actually able to enter the immortal intoxication pavilion? what an insult to high-class people like us.” outside the screens, someone finally couldn’t endure it anymore.
“correct. they’re just a bunch of peasants who are trying to pose as cultured people by coming here. did they think obtaining a bit of dirty money made them amazing? maybe they should consider their own status first,” agreed another person.
although their voices weren’t loud, this hall contained only a few people, and it was extremely quiet. their words were heard clearly.
the mercenaries’ expressions sank. those people’s words had touched on one of their nerves. mercenaries always had a degenerate status. there was no place for them in the cultivation world.
being ridiculed by these people made them furious. however, they were also embarrassed, unable to say anything back.
mo nian’s expression also sank. these people were too much. they hadn’t even given him face. insulting long chen was also insulting him.
he was just about to say something when long chen opened his mouth first. his seat was on the edge of the table, and he could see through an opening in the screens to see the two people who had just spoken.
“what is high-class? what is low-class? does spending your family’s money to come to eat here make you high-class? does relying on your own strength to obtain money to spend here make you low-class?
“being envious of others and putting on airs ostentatiously makes you high-class? us acting open and candid, magnanimously saying what we want, makes us low-class?
“what kind of act do you think you’re putting on? even if you spray perfume all over yourself, it won’t conceal the stench of scum coming from you.
“the ones trying to pose as cultured people here are you. you fundamentally don’t understand what high-class is. let me tell you: high-class is not faked; it’s the act of playboys like yourselves that is faked!” said long chen.
only now did long chen understand why these idiots had come here to act like refined scum. it was all to get these ladies’ favor.
the ladies here all possessed a natural high-class dao charm. that kind of charm was very peculiar, and it made people feel inferior.
they were the truly high-class ones, while this group of idiots had only come to act like playboys. now they wanted to laugh at others for being vulgar? they definitely hadn’t taken their medicine before leaving the house.
the three women couldn’t help being amused by long chen’s cursing, especially his last sentence. despite knowing they shouldn’t, they couldn’t stop a chuckle from escaping. they hastily covered their mouths, but it was too late.
“bastard!” one of the two men stood up and pointed at long chen. “brat, i challenge you to a deathmatch!”
