Sheng Fu

Chapter 1056 is both a joyous feast and a display of benevolence.

The old man was indeed very famous, and the soldiers were genuinely happy that he had arrived.

After the carriage had traveled a short distance, everyone got off one after another. Yuwen Jun appeared at the front with Old Master Guo, and the city walls and buildings of Lianheng Mountain came into view for the Guo family.

"Welcome, senior!"

Ahead, the soldiers roared and responded in unison, creating a magnificent scene.

Upon seeing this scene, Old Master Guo felt a sudden tightness in his heart, followed by a surge of excitement. He quickly bowed deeply to Yue Bo, Li Hongshan, Chen Xuan, Zhong Yi, Zhang Benchu, Yin Xuan, and others, and laughed heartily, "I have long heard that the soldiers of the Divine Realm are battle-hardened and full of vigor. Seeing them today, I can confirm that their reputation is well-deserved. To witness such unparalleled brilliance makes me feel decades younger."

Li Hongshan walked slowly toward the old man, his face full of smiles, and said, "The soldiers of the three armies are fortunate to have the old man's guidance. Isn't that a blessing for us?"

"I wonder if you find the landscape of this divine realm magnificent?"

The old man had neither a good nor a bad impression of the Grand Preceptor Li Hongshan, and the two had no interaction.

Regardless, the Grand Preceptor has always devoted himself to the great cause of humanity.

As for his private morality and character, Mr. Guo did not care.

Furthermore, at this stage of one's career, there are often only differences in stance, not good or bad.

Grandpa Guo chuckled and said, “Of course it is magnificent. My trip has not been in vain. Speaking of which, I am quite envious of the Grand Preceptor. The Grand Preceptor has seen many magnificent landscapes, while I, an old fellow, have not seen much of the world.”

"If there are any questions I may have in the future, I would be grateful if the Grand Preceptor could patiently answer them for me."

Li Hongshan cupped his hands in a slight bow and said, "Not at all. I will do my best to fulfill any instructions you may have, senior."

"Please come in, senior."

The soldiers behind Li Hongshan lined up neatly to the left and right, making way for him.

Within the human realm, there are not many people who deserve such courtesy from the three armies, and Old Master Guo is one of them.

Inside the courtyard of Lianheng Mountain.

The banquet is ready.

Fine wines and delicacies, fragrant fruits and vegetables, everything you could want was available.

After entering the courtyard, Yuwen Jun said softly to the old man, "This banquet includes both human and divine delicacies. You should carefully taste them to see how they are."

Grandpa Guo nodded repeatedly and said, "Young friend, you are indeed very thoughtful. Actually, there is no need to treat us with such hospitality. It feels a bit like we are overstepping our bounds."

"This is attracting too much attention; I'm afraid I can't handle it."

Yuwen Jun smiled demurely and said, "No need to overthink it. You have rendered meritorious service this time and deserve such treatment. Besides, many generals in the human army have received your kindness and favors."

"I will be the first to object to anyone who dares to speak ill of you."

After a few words, everyone took their seats.

Grandpa Guo naturally sat next to Yuwen Jun, with Yue Bo and Li Hongshan, two big shots, on his left and right sides.

The rest were Zhong Yi, Yin Xuan, Zhang Benchu, Chen Xuan, Wu Mi, Yan Zhao, and others.

The Guo family members sat next to these generals.

To be honest, Yan Zhao was truly excited this time. Being able to attend such a banquet was, from the perspective of a humble family, a way of bringing glory to their family.

A beautiful maid poured wine for everyone. Yuwen Jun raised the first cup of wine and smiled heartily at everyone, saying, "Today's banquet is only for old friends, not for politics."

"Let's toast together to welcome Mr. Guo."

Immediately, everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

Old Master Guo looked slightly shy, but he drank his toast with great gusto. He also glanced at Yue Bo and Li Hongshan.

Today, Yuwen Jun is in the main seat, and this young man is also in charge of the overall situation. Judging from the signs, Yue Bo and Li Hongshan no longer have the prejudice that elders have against juniors when it comes to Yuwen Jun.

To become such a powerful figure at such a young age.

Originally, Grandpa Guo only admired and respected Yuwen Jun, but now he truly felt that Yuwen Jun was extraordinary.

After all, a person's outward temperament and potential are one thing, while their actual achievements and prestige are another.

Witnessing a young person grow to such a level is truly a magnificent sight.

Seeing everyone in high spirits, Yuwen Jun smiled tactfully and said, "Today is a joyous banquet. With my limited abilities, I can only preside over the first toast. In my opinion, the Grand Preceptor should preside over the second toast."

"The third cup of wine was prepared by Zhong Yi, the leader of the Imperial Dragon Army."

"The three tribes are joining together for this grand event; how delightful!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

However, several elders of the Guo family echoed, "Your Highness is absolutely right."

Immediately, everyone looked at Li Hongshan.

Li Hongshan hadn't expected Yuwen Jun to be so old-fashioned at the dinner table, and was slightly caught off guard. He glanced at the little spirit child out of the corner of his eye. Zhong Yi's face remained calm, seemingly agreeable, but in reality, he was thinking about how to phrase the third cup of wine.

On this occasion, he had to make a proper appearance, because he symbolized the will of the Eldar.

Li Hongshan deliberately gave Yuwen Jun a malicious look, then raised his wine cup and smiled brightly at everyone, saying, "This Your Highness has always been a man of great magnanimity and understanding of the bigger picture."

"I also thank Your Highness for giving me this opportunity."

"This second cup of wine is naturally a toast to the benevolent atmosphere under the new policies, and even more so to the countless loyal and brave soldiers who died on the battlefield."

"I, Hongshan, am unworthy to invite you all to share this cup with me."

Yuwen Jun chuckled and said, "How could I be untalented? The Grand Preceptor is clearly a rare talent, unparalleled throughout history."

Everyone chuckled, but the members of the Guo family did not laugh out loud, subconsciously observing the expressions and demeanor of everyone at the banquet.

Li Hongshan was the first to drink it all in one gulp, revealing the empty glass to everyone.

Afterwards, everyone drank it all in one gulp, displaying great style and boldness.

At this moment, many people looked at Zhong Yi, this young talent, with searching eyes.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jun took the initiative to introduce Zhongyi to Old Master Guo, saying, "Old Master, you may not know this, but Zhongyi is an unparalleled genius of the Spirit Clan. He was originally the commander of the Spirit Secret Guard and is deeply trusted by His Majesty the Spirit Emperor."

"The fact that the Imperial Dragon Army is supported by the elite forces of the Spirit Clan this time is entirely due to Zhongyi's position in His Majesty the Spirit Emperor's heart."

“In the future, Zhongyi will surely shine on the battlefield and make outstanding contributions.”

"This is the pillar of the future, a model for all ages."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Guo's expression turned solemn, and the rest of the Guo family members quickly suppressed their probing glances.

Old Master Guo had learned about Zhongyi from the letters Guo Shenghe sent home, but after hearing what Yuwen Jun said, his understanding of Zhongyi became even more profound.

In this situation, Zhongyi also took the initiative to stand up, raised his wine cup, cupped his hands to everyone and said: "Zhongyi is young and has shallow virtue and talent. It is truly good fortune that I have the honor of sitting at the same table with you seniors and sages."

"With this third cup of wine, I would like to offer my humble opinion to all of you in celebration of the beautiful lands and boundless ages of the human race, the demon race, and the spirit race. May the wars end soon, may the world be free from turmoil, and may all beings find peace and freedom."

Zhongyi took a large gulp and swallowed it with great gusto.
