Chapter 394: Hosting a Banquet, Discussing Taoism and Solving Questions
Everyone couldn't understand the reason why Song Que stopped fighting, but they didn't care either.

As long as the end result is good, they are okay with it regardless of the process.

The result now is that the battle between Song Que and Zhao Mingyuan showed their peerless cultivation, and it ended peacefully, with no one suffering any obvious injuries.

This is the best outcome for them.

Therefore, they did not care about Zhao Mingyuan's inner doubts.He just said that if you don't understand something, just ask him face to face at the banquet in the evening.

Then, Zhao Mingyuan was pointed at his dusty outer robe by Song Yuzhi and said: "Don't worry about it for now. You have come all the way here, and you have to fight before you take a break. It's better to go take a bath and change clothes and have a rest."

Zhao Mingyuan lowered his head and took a look. He had ridden for thousands of miles and was already dusty. The battle just now made it even worse.To describe it as ragged might be a bit too much, but it was indeed a mess and needed a shower, change of clothes, and tidying up.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan did not refuse, and under the arrangement of the Song family, he came to a quiet courtyard to bathe and change clothes.

However, while taking a bath, Zhao Mingyuan suddenly thought of Song Que leaving in a hurry, and a thought came to his mind.

Could it be that Song Que left in a hurry because he didn't want others to see his embarrassed side?

Could he also be taking a bath at this time?

Although I felt that this conjecture was inconsistent with Song Que's perfect personal image, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this conjecture was very likely to be true.

It couldn't be that Song Que was seriously injured and almost wanted to vomit blood, so he just forced himself to leave, right?
It's impossible even if you think about it, but this guess is more reliable.

Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh when he thought that Song Que might have left with a cold face without saying a word in order to maintain his image in front of everyone.

The cold-faced lord looks majestic, but in his heart he is worried about the death of the society. What kind of third-rate plot is this?

But Zhao Mingyuan knew that even a master could have any kind of personality in private.

After all, he himself is still the best in the world, and he has even ascended the throne and become the king. Is he really any more noble than others?

Time soon arrived in the evening, and the Song family had prepared a reception dinner and invited Zhao Mingyuan to the banquet.

Although the number of people attending the dinner was not large, it could not be said that the reception banquet was not grand enough.

Because except for Zhao Mingyuan, all the people at this table were named Song, and they were all the most important people in the Song clan.

Song Zhi, Song Lu, Song Shidao, and Song Yuzhi are all close relatives of the Song family.

Needless to say, Song Que, the clan leader, had already taken on a new look and was sitting at the top with majesty.

Seemingly intimidated by his majesty, everyone sat upright and said nothing.

Seeing Zhao Mingyuan come in, Song Que, who had been sitting at the top with a solemn expression, suddenly smiled and waved to Zhao Mingyuan at the door: "Ming Yuan is here, I'm waiting for you! Come, sit here!"

As he spoke, Song Que even patted the empty seat next to him and motioned for Zhao Mingyuan to sit next to him.

As Song Que's expression changed, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly relaxed, as if the iceberg had melted and the earth had returned to spring.Everyone in the Song clan relaxed and greeted Zhao Mingyuan.

The scene was so harmonious that it seemed like it had really become a family banquet.

Zhao Mingyuan sat down next to Song Que in a daze, feeling the Song family's attentive hospitality, and felt a little unreal in his heart.

Not long ago, he and Song Que were fighting each other with swords, fighting to the death, and even almost died in the knife grinding hall.

But now the two of them are very close, sitting around the same table, toasting and drinking together.

The difference is too big!
Could this be Song Que's approval?

It's as if they regard Zhao Mingyuan as their family. Is this an alliance and marriage settled?
This banquet is not only a family banquet, but also the center of power of the Song clan, which can determine the future direction of the Song clan.

Everyone is here, and obviously something big is going to be discussed.

The major event between them was naturally the alliance and marriage between the Zhao and Song families.

According to Chinese rules, important decisions are discussed at the wine table, and the conference room is just a formality in the end.

It seems that this is also the case today. This custom can be passed down for thousands of years and is considered a part of Chinese culture.

Similarly, paving the way before talking about business is also part of the wine table culture.

Therefore, Song Zhi, Song Lu and others took on the responsibility of activating the atmosphere. Starting from introducing the Lingnan special dishes on the table, they talked about the customs and habits of the Lingnan land and the characteristics of various ethnic groups, which Zhao Mingyuan listened with gusto.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious, but Zhao Mingyuan finally broke the atmosphere and asked Song Que whether he had held back when dealing with that move.

It's not that he doesn't have enough concentration, it's just that this issue is too important, and it makes Zhao Mingyuan feel like he's holding it in his arms, and he doesn't want to complain about it.

Upon hearing this question raised by Zhao Mingyuan, everyone in the Song clan immediately became quiet and looked at Song Que.

Obviously, they are also very curious about the answer to this question.

However, maybe Song Que had accumulated too much power and they didn't dare to ask him at all.Therefore, I have been waiting for Zhao Mingyuan to ask this question for a long time.

Facing Zhao Mingyuan's question, Song Que showed a true expression on his face.Obviously, he had already guessed that Zhao Mingyuan had this question.

However, Song Que did not directly answer Zhao Mingyuan's question. Instead, he asked Zhao Mingyuan: "Do you know what happened to my sword domain and the sword energy that came from behind you during the last move?" Zhao Mingyuan shook his head. He shook his head, he really didn't know, he only had some guesses, thinking that it was Song Que's unique secret technique.

After all, he himself has a similar sword realm, doesn't he?
Although Zhao Mingyuan's sword domain is not as large as Song Que's, there may be some secret in it.

Song Que did not hide it, but told Zhao Mingyuan that this was his attempt to follow the path after the Grand Master.

Since he had been practicing swordsmanship in the Modao Hall for many years, he naturally slowly discovered the sword energy and meaning emanating from the Modao Hall.After research and experimentation, he naturally discovered that in the Sharpening Hall, he could get some bonuses and become more powerful.

Later, he used the whetstone as the cornerstone to sort out the sword energy and sword spirit scattered throughout the grinding hall, imitating the dojo in myths and legends, and condensed his sword domain.

Facts have proved that in the Sword Domain, Song Que's strength has indeed reached a big level, almost beyond the scope of the Grand Master, reaching the realm of the Supreme Grandmaster.

However, his sword domain is not a real domain after all. It can only exist in the knife grinding hall and cannot be moved. Naturally, it is not perfect.

Even so, Song Que also believes that this exploration of the future path is still effective.

Moreover, just seeing that his sword domain is similar to Zhao Mingyuan's sword domain, the two coincided and built the prototype of the domain, which shows that this is indeed a way for a warrior to become stronger.

Zhao Mingyuan's ability to open the sword realm with him also provided him with a lot of reference. If the two of them could learn from each other, they might be able to carry forward this path and truly find a new path.

As for Zhao Mingyuan questioning whether he was merciful, in fact, he was the real winner.

Song Que said: "My sword realm was built up through decades of condensation, but it was broken by your sword. How could I have decades to rebuild the sword realm?

From now on, Song's strength is no longer what it was before, so you will naturally win. "

When facing Zhao Mingyuan, he asked him if he still had any strength left, but he did not attack Zhao Mingyuan from behind.

Song Que smiled and explained: "You have also cultivated the prototype of the domain. You must understand that maintaining a sword domain as large as mine requires a lot of energy and spirit.

And in the end, I triggered the sword energy stored in the whetstone for many years to attack you from behind.

Is it so easy to activate the sword energy that has been stored for many years?
That move has actually exhausted all my energy. If I try harder to move, I can only watch helplessly as you reveal your flaws but cannot attack, allowing you to win the final victory.

if not?
Do you think I'm really trying to make you fail?

In fact, in the end, my energy and spirit were exhausted, and I had no choice but to admit defeat. "

Hearing what Song Que said was so reasonable, although Zhao Mingyuan was still a little confused, he had to admit that what he said made sense.

Before he could think about it, he heard Song Que say: "I just cleared up your doubts, but I also have something unclear that I need you to answer seriously.

That is, when you were finally faced with the two choices of attacking the front or the back, why did you finally choose to attack the back.

Although it is true that the sword at the back is stronger, your final choice was not wrong.

But I was still standing in front at that time!

Why did you choose this?

Do you already know that I have exhausted all my energy? "

Zhao Mingyuan shook his head and said: "Actually, I really don't know which side to choose.

Finally, when the crisis came, I could only combine my sword with my sword, relying solely on intuition, and let the sword in my hands lead me to attack.

It wasn't that I chose to attack the rear, but that my sword guided me in that direction. "

"Okay, okay!" Song Que was full of praise, and he was so happy that he slapped the table and laughed loudly.

People in the Song clan had never seen Song Que laugh so wildly for many years, especially juniors like Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi, who had never seen Song Que laugh so happily.

Everyone couldn't help being surprised and didn't know why he was so happy.

After a while, Song Que's laughter died down, but his face was still full of smiles, and he happily said to Zhao Mingyuan: "Yes, that's it!

Song didn't know any sword skills at all, so he relied on the sword in his hand to tell me what to do.

Now, although you practice swordsmanship, you have also entered this state.

My way is not alone, my way is not alone!

Hahahahaha~"

Everyone was surprised and unbelievable when they heard Song Que say that he didn't know any sword skills.

As the world's best swordsman, Song Que actually said that he didn't know how to use swordsmanship. How could anyone believe this?

However, Zhao Mingyuan firmly believed in this point.After all, this is mentioned in the original work.

Thinking of his own feelings at that moment, thinking that "there is nothing else but the saber", Zhao Mingyuan suddenly understood.
