At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 19 Birthday Banquet
"Junior Zhang Qi (Zhang Zhiwei), greets Chief Zuo."

Zhang Qi and Zhang Zhiwei clasped their hands together and bowed respectfully to Zuo Rutong.

"Heh~ Master Tianshi, you have accepted two good disciples."

Zuo Rutong smiled when he saw this. With his cultivation level, he could naturally see the extraordinary qualities of the two young men in front of him.

But this is normal. After all, on such occasions, one would naturally bring along outstanding disciples from one's own sect.

Moreover, the Tianshi Mansion has a long history and is the leader of the Zhengyi School. The Tianshi is a famous teacher, so it is not surprising that he has such a disciple.

"Heh~ Master Zuo, thank you for your compliment.

Since it's a birthday celebration, how about you and I go together?"

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest raised his lips slightly, and then invited Zuo Rutong.

"That's exactly what I meant."

Zuo Rutong nodded. This was the original intention behind his calling Tianshi.

In this way, Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Rutong walked side by side towards the Lu Mansion, chatting as they walked.

Zhang Qi followed behind and began to recall the comics he had read in his previous life. Based on the content of the comics, he had some guesses about reverse rebirth.

But he still needed an opportunity to attract the attention of the left-hand man. After all, just saying it directly would not be convincing.

Zhang Zhiwei stared at Zuo Rutong's back with some curiosity. He had naturally heard of the names of the Third Level of Rebirth and the Great Ying Immortal.

After all, for their Xuanmen, the title of immortal has special meaning, and this Zuomen immortal, whose nickname is Daying, has not caused any controversy, which shows that he has real ability.

Seeing him today, he was indeed worthy of his reputation. He was indeed an immortal, but he always felt that something was not in harmony. Was it because of the special triple rebirth?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but get excited. Given his status, it was naturally not easy for him to ask the immortal Daying for advice.

But if they were disciples of the Trinity Sect...

……

On the other side, at the gate of Lu Mansion
"Ah!"

Lu Jin sneezed again, and then a puzzled expression appeared on his little face.

Why is it like this today? Is someone talking about him?
But this shouldn’t be the case. Today is his great-grandfather’s birthday, not his own.
However, at this moment, Lu Jin suddenly noticed a white figure appearing not far away. His eyes lit up instantly, and then he went straight to meet it.

"Master, you are finally here.

Who is this senior? "

Lu Jin said to the white figure, then looked at the Taoist priest with a big beard next to him.

"Heh~Jin'er, you came at the perfect time.

Let me introduce him to you. He is the current Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Mansion.

The two behind are the Heavenly Master’s most senior disciples, Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Qi.”

Zuo Rutong smiled and then began to introduce Zhang Jingqing and others.

"Heavenly Master?!"

Lu Jin was stunned at first. He never thought that the Heavenly Master who was as famous as his master in the martial arts world was so ordinary.

But he reacted quickly and saluted Zhang Jingqing immediately.

"Junior Lu Jin has met the Heavenly Master and two senior brothers."

After saying that, Lu Jin looked up and looked at Zhang Qi and the other person with some curiosity, and finally his gaze stopped on Zhang Qi.

Among the senior brothers surnamed Zhang from the Tianshi Mansion, there was one who was about the same age as him...

"Oh?"

Zhang Qi noticed Lu Jin's gaze and was a little surprised.

He hasn't said anything yet, why is the young master of the Lu family targeting him?
"I've heard of the young master of the Lu family for a long time. Seeing him today, I'm sure he's truly a rare talent."

Zhang Jingqing praised upon seeing this, and it wasn't entirely a compliment.

The young man in front of him was very young, and although his cultivation was not as good as his two disciples, it was also quite good.

"Hey? Hehe..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin touched his head a little embarrassedly. He didn't expect to be praised by this Taoist priest.

"Ha~"

Zuo Rutong couldn't help but smile when he looked at his apprentice.

His disciple's temper still needs to be tempered...

"Oh, by the way, let me take a few people in first!

My father and the old man have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Lu Jin came back to his senses and remembered that he still had important things to do. His mission here was to wait for his master.

So he spoke quickly and led a few people into the yard.

……

In the Lu Mansion
The huge manor is particularly lively today.

A tent was set up in the middle of the yard, and the room was full of guests.

At the front is a high platform where folk art masters are performing.

When the performance reached its climax, the audience below cheered loudly.

But at this moment,
"Grandpa! Father! My master and the Heavenly Master are here!"

A loud voice suddenly rang out, and then the entire venue suddenly became quiet.

The guests present all turned their eyes to look at the two figures, one blue and one white, at the door.

"Haha, Sect Leader Zuo and the Heavenly Master actually came in person. I'm really honored."

Hearing this, the old man of the Lu family at the main table immediately stood up and laughed.

"Uncle! I'll go greet you two."

Lu Xuan on the side also stood up and prepared to greet the Taoist priest and the other one.

"Everyone, go! Everyone, go!!"

Upon seeing this, the heads of the Wang and Lu families also stood up. Since they were welcoming the Heavenly Master and the Left Sect Leader, they naturally had to be courteous.

Just like that, under the leadership of the old man of the Lu family, several people went towards Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Rutong.

After the few people met and exchanged greetings, Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Rutong went to the main table at the invitation of the old man of the Lu family.

"Forehead……"

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei touched his head and was about to turn around and ask Zhang Qi to find a seat.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lu Jin spoke,

"Second Brother, do you know anyone?"

"Um... no..."

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head when he heard this. He rarely went down the mountain and didn't know many people in the circle.

"I do not have either."

Zhang Qi also replied that this was his first time going down the mountain, so naturally he didn't know anyone in the circle.

"In that case, if you don't mind, please sit at the same table with us.

Our table is full of young people, so there are no formalities."

Seeing this, Lu Jin's eyes lit up and he invited enthusiastically.

He actually wanted to have a good exchange with these two senior brothers from Longhu Mountain.

After all, Tianshi is the only master in the world who can be as famous as his master.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Zhang Qi nodded and replied.

Zhang Zhiwei also nodded, indicating his agreement.

It doesn't matter where he sits.

"it is good."

Lu Jin nodded and brought the two of them to a table.

There were already three people sitting at the table, two young men with gray hair and a young Taoist priest.

"Come, let me introduce them to you. These two are the Heavenly Master's disciples."

Lu Jin stepped forward and introduced the three people at the table.

"Zhang Qi (Zhang Zhiwei) from the Tianshi Mansion greets you all."

Zhang Qi and Zhang Zhiwei introduced themselves.

"Tianshi Mansion? And your surname is Zhang?

So you are the descendants of the Heavenly Master?"

Hearing this, one of the gray-haired boys' eyes lit up and he stood up and asked curiously.

But before he could finish, he was slapped in the face by the older boy next to him.

"Brother, why did you hit me?"

The gray-haired boy in front touched the place where he was hit and asked in confusion.

"Lu Ren of the Lu family has met the two Taoist priests.

This is my younger brother, Lu Ci. I just bumped into you two, I hope you can forgive me."

Lu Ren clasped his hands together and apologized, saying that his brother was really an idiot.

Even if you're curious, who would ask this kind of question right away?

"It's okay, but my junior brother and I are not descendants of the Heavenly Master."

Zhang Zhiwei said nonchalantly upon seeing this.

"Oh? So, you two fellow Taoists are impersonating me?"

The young Taoist priest next to him spoke, with a look of surprise on his face.

If this is the case, these two people are candidates for the next Heavenly Master.

"Wow~ What a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ci looked at Zhang Qi excitedly and rubbed his hands together.

He actually wanted to meet the next Heavenly Master.

And it just so happens that this person is about the same age as him.

Lu Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he had guessed it before, it was another matter after he confirmed it. There are two systems of succession for the Heavenly Master: one is the direct bloodline of Zhang Tianshi, and the other is to take on a pseudonym.

Because of the existence of the former, in a sense, the value of using a false surname is even higher.

He is about the same age as him, but is considered the successor by the Heavenly Master. He would like to see his abilities.

But that's not what's important right now...

"This is my childhood friend Zheng Zibu, who is cultivating in Shangqing Maoshan.

As both of you are monks of the Talisman Sect, you should have something in common."

Lu Jin said that as the host, the priority now should be to entertain the guests.

As for the question of asking for advice, I'll talk about it later when I have the chance...

"Um... no problem..."

Zhang Zhiwei touched his head and replied that although their Longhu Mountain was a major sect of talismans, and although he was also a Taoist priest who had received the talisman.

But he was not very good at talismans, after all, this thing was too troublesome.

Just then, a little fat man in a red coat came over in a daze.

He sat down on the stool with a handful of candied haws in his hand.

"Hey, Fatty Wang, you're finally back.

You didn't bring this girl back, but how come you brought back the candied haws?"

Seeing this, Lu Ci joked that the little fat boy fell in love with the little girl from the Ma family at first sight.

It has been following me around since morning, but I didn't expect it to come back by itself at mealtime.

He thought this guy would sit at the same table with that fat girl...

"Stone Flower, isn't this confiscated?
By the way, who are these two big brothers?"

Wang Ai smiled embarrassedly and quickly changed the subject.

He was too embarrassed to say that he was kicked back by Shihua.

"These two are senior brothers from the Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Qi.

This fat man is the only son of the Wang family’s patriarch, Wang Ai.”

Seeing this, Lu Jin, the host, introduced the situation.

"Oh, my name is Wang Ai, nice to meet you two brothers.

Let's share these candied haws with the brothers."

Wang Ai stood up and spoke, distributing the candied haws in his hand to everyone.

"Okay, eat less of this, the party is about to begin."

Lu Ren said at this time, but his eyes looked towards the high platform in the front.

I don't know when the actor left the opera, and the one standing was a middle-aged man in a red robe.

Then the birthday boy, the 80-year-old old man of the Lu family slowly stepped forward.

Under the witness of Tianshi Mansion, Zuo Rutong and other sect leaders.

He handed over his position as the head of the family to the previous middle-aged man.

That is Lu Jin's father Lu Xuan.

After taking over the position of head of the family from the old man.

Lu Xuan said that he would do his best to carry forward the Lu family.

Then the new head of the family announced the start of the banquet.

After a round of applause, everyone started drinking and chatting, telling interesting stories about the world.

After all, such gatherings are rare these days.

As for Zhang Qi's table, although no one is very familiar with him.

But after all, we were all young people, and after a while we got to know each other better...

……

In a short while, three rounds of wine were served.
"Brother Lu~Brother Lu?"

"Brother Wang?"

Lu Xuan, who was wearing a red robe, looked at the man beside him with red cheeks.

asked somewhat puzzled.

Brother Wang, are you drunk?

"Brother Lu, Sect Master Zuo, and Heavenly Master, everyone, take a look!"

The head of the Wang family turned sideways and looked towards the end of the banquet.

At that table, Lu Jin and Lu Ci, who were standing and drinking, attracted everyone's attention.

From time to time, it was accompanied by the shouts of guests from other tables.

"Look how interesting these little guys are~
How about letting them play with us tomorrow?"

The head of the Wang family said this with a smile on his face despite being drunk.

"Show off, what does Brother Wang mean?"

Lu Xuan was stunned and said hesitantly.

"These days, it's rare to see so many wealthy families gather together.

How about letting these youngsters give us some practice?"

The head of the Wang family continued.

"This kid doesn't know the seriousness of the matter and has learned a lot of tricks.

Is it bad if it damages the harmony?"

Lu Xuan was a little embarrassed, after all, this was his territory.

And he is the newly succeeded head of the family.

If the harmony between the sects is damaged, it will be his fault.

"They are just kids, it's not like they are fighting to the death, so it's not easy to hurt each other.

Even if you are hurt, you can just drink a few glasses and you will be fine again.

Isn’t this how we got through it back then?
Don’t you think so, Lao Lu?

The head of the Wang family said to the head of the Lu family next to him.

"I think this is a good idea. Firstly, it will allow young people to see other people's methods.

Secondly, it can also let them know that there are always people better than them.

Besides, we old guys are here, how can we get hurt so easily?"

The head of the Lu family touched his chin and found it interesting.

The one in his family is like this, he acts like he is the best in the world, so arrogant that he doesn't mind suffering a little loss.

It is better to suffer loss now than later...

"This……"

Lu Xuan was still a little hesitant.

"Hey! Lao Lu, this is where you're wrong.

Everyone knows that every member of your Lu family is an outstanding individual.

Especially Mr. Lu Jin, he is even more amazing.

It just so happens that all the sect leaders and disciples are here, so let’s make Jin’er famous~”

The head of the Wang family hugged Lu Xuan affectionately and did not forget to fill his glass with wine.

"That's right, Old Lu, let my two boys learn from them too."

The head of the Lu family continued the conversation.

"Captain Zuo, look at this..."

Lu Xuan didn't know what to do for a moment, so he asked Zuo Rutong next to him.

"Mr. Lu, I don't think it's anything.

It’s also good for children to play games.”

Zuo Rutong thought about it and replied with a smile.

"Tianshi, what do you think?"

Seeing this, Lu Xuan went to seek another person's opinion.

After all, there are also top disciples of the Tianshi Temple among those young people.

"Um...this..."

Zhang Jingqing felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. If it were before, he might have agreed.

After all, he had always wanted to find a disciple of the same generation to help him deal with Zhang Zhiwei.

But now, since the competition a few days ago.

Judging from their performance, let alone the young disciples, even some of the older generation of masters would not be a match for his two disciples.

If we let his apprentice go up again, wouldn't that be bullying?

"Does the Heavenly Master have any concerns?"

Zuo Rutong asked curiously.

"No, I think it's a good suggestion."

Zhang Jingqing came back to his senses and spoke quickly.

At this time, he couldn't possibly say that his disciple was invincible and that none of your disciples were his match, so forget it.

Although this is true, we still have to give them some face...

"Brother Lu, both the Heavenly Master and the Left Sect Leader have agreed. Look at this?"

Seeing this, the head of the Wang family looked at Lu Xuan next to him.

"This... okay..."

Lu Xuan said helplessly, what else could he say?

I can't spoil everyone's fun...
