Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 155 Beating
The birthday banquet lasted from noon until evening.

As dusk fell and the lights were lit, the host of the birthday banquet, Old Master Lu, felt tired and went to rest. However, the banquet was not over yet; instead, it became even more lively and unrestrained.

Guan Shihua and Wang Ai were playfully fighting, and Guan Shihua was kicking Wang Ai's buttocks hard.

Lu Jin and Lü Ci were having a drinking contest.

Guan Yi and Lü Ren had a drink and chatted.

Zhuge Yue, who was sitting next to him, didn't drink often. After a few bowls, she was also in a slightly tipsy state, resting on the table in a half-dreaming, half-awake state.

As for Huo Dezong Fengping, who was shouting the loudest, he had already been forced under the table by Guan Yi.

At the elders' table, Wang Ai's father and the head of the Wang family glanced at the situation and a smile suddenly appeared on their drunken faces.

"Brother Lu! Brother Lu! Master Zuo, Celestial Master, and Brother Zhuge, everyone look! Aren't these little guys interesting!"

Lu Yi turned his head, puzzled, and asked, "Brother Wang, what are you trying to say?"

"Let them have their fun with us tomorrow?"

"Play around? What does Brother Wang mean?"

"Hiccup~" The head of the Wang family hiccuped, a mischievous glint in his eyes: "It's rare for so many prominent families to gather together, how about we let these juniors give us a little practice?"

"Brother Wang, this..."

"Hey! Everyone knows that the Lu family members are all outstanding individuals, especially your son Lu Jin, who is truly remarkable. Since everyone is here, let's celebrate Jin'er's fame!" said the Wang family head.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Lü family couldn't help but smile: "Good idea! It's perfect for letting my two little dogs learn from the young master and see the methods of their peers, so they won't be so arrogant!"

“This…” Lu Yi hesitated.

"Captain Zuo, look at this..."

Zuo Ruotong smiled faintly and said, "It's good for kids to play games."

"Brother Zhuge, what do you think? The little ones haven't seen the magic of a sorcerer yet."

Zhuge Cheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Everyone says so, and my Zhuge family can't be disappointed, so let Xiaoyue play with everyone."

"Hey, Brother Zhuge!" Patriarch Wang shook his head in dissatisfaction: "It's not that I look down on your daughter, but I remember that the girls in the Zhuge family study Divine Strategist, not Qimen Dunjia, right? That young patriarch was able to pass on his position to Senior Zhuge Wen across generations, so he must have some remarkable skills. Isn't it convenient for him to show them off?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhuge..."

Zhuge Cheng paused for a few seconds and said, "Xiaoyue is exceptionally intelligent. She is one of the few girls in the Zhuge family who are allowed to learn Wuhou Qimen. In addition, most members of the Zhuge family meet the requirements for learning Qimen after the age of 18, but Xiaoyue has been learning for nearly 9 years since she was 16 and has already mastered the Earth Plate and Divine Plate spells."

"Oh, truly remarkable!" the Wang family head exclaimed, laughing, "I was blind to your greatness. In that case, is that young clan leader's talent even greater than your daughter's?"

"It's not a matter of talent... Sigh, to be honest, Xiao Yi's sorcery skills are already far superior to mine. Instead of letting him compete, it's better to let the little ones learn from me..."

Zhuge Cheng shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that not saying anything might offend these clan leaders. After all, he couldn't really pretend to be weak and let Guan Yi compete, could he? But saying it made him feel uneasy, as if he were blatantly telling everyone that their descendants couldn't compete with his family.

Fortunately, the people at the table didn't think much of it; they were just slightly stunned before their expressions of amazement returned.

"really?"

"How old is he?"

"You've already surpassed Brother Zhuge? It seems the Zhuge family has produced a 'true dragon'!"

As the most outstanding member of the 47th generation of the Zhuge family, no one dared to underestimate Zhuge Cheng. If someone's methods surpassed his, wouldn't that mean that he himself might not be superior to that young patriarch of the Zhuge family?

No one doubted that Zhuge Chenghui was lying and boasting.

In that case, it would indeed be inconvenient to compete with the younger generation.

They couldn't help but glance at the table of younger members. After looking at Guan Yi for a moment, Zuo Ruotong suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "According to what Mr. Zhuge said, this young clan leader may already be the number one among the younger generation. Brother Lu, if you don't mind, let Jin'er learn from this peer, so that she can see the way forward and avoid becoming arrogant and complacent?"
Since Jin'er joined my sect, she has never suffered any loss. If this continues, I'm afraid...

Zhuge Cheng was taken aback: "How can this be..."

This is the Lu family's birthday banquet. How can the Zhuge family steal the show and let Xiao Yi give Lu Jin a warning?

Lu Yi smiled upon hearing this and said, "The younger generation of my Lu family is not so lacking in courage as to not even have the courage to lose a match. However... after all, it is the second day of the old master's birthday banquet, so I still have to ask the old master."

"This this……"

"Haha, even Brother Lu has said so, Brother Zhuge, please don't refuse!"

"Yes, this is a perfect opportunity for us to witness the true power of the Zhuge family!"

The heads of the Wang and Lü families, drunk and making a fuss, prompted Zhuge Cheng to nod helplessly. It would be rather unreasonable for him to refuse now.

"Master, what do you think?"

"Hmm...that sounds interesting."

Zhang Jingqing's eyes had already lit up, and she said to the person beside her, "Sect Leader Zuo, Patriarch Lu, and Patriarch Zhuge, may we speak in private?"

The three were taken aback, and followed the Taoist master away from the banquet and into the nearby woods.

Zhang Jingqing smiled at the three of them and said, "To be honest, I came here for two reasons. First, to celebrate Old Master Lu's birthday. Second, I also wanted to take my foolish disciple Zhang Zhiwei on a tour, hoping to find a talented peer to help me teach him a lesson." "Master, what's this all about?"

Zhang Jingqing sighed, "Alas, my disciple is good at all her subjects. There's only one thing she lacks: the protective techniques of our sect..."

“A bit disappointing?”

“No, he’s gone too far.” Zhang Jingqing shook her head and said, “Let me put it this way, he has already beaten up most of our fellow disciples. We can’t expect the elders to take action ourselves, can we?”
My foolish disciple became even more arrogant as a result, his words always lacking power. I originally hoped that Young Master Lu could defeat him, and with this young patriarch of the Zhuge family present, things would be even more secure. I just hope Patriarch Lu won't blame us for usurping the host's position.

Lu Yi laughed and said, "Haha, it seems that every family has its own problems. As long as the old master agrees, my Lu family will be fine."

Zuo Ruotong also laughed and said, "This will make it even more lively. Let the younger generation have a go."

Only Zhuge Cheng was filled with helplessness.

Why is there another one?

Bump?

Every family has its own problems.

It's not as difficult to read as the one in my family!

He didn't know whether to be proud or helpless. His child was so outstanding that it sometimes gave parents a headache—a happy kind of trouble.

“Celestial Master, Left Sect Master, Lu Family Head.” He slowly began to speak, “Now that things have come to this, I can no longer hide it. Four years ago, Xiao Yi had already mastered all the techniques of my Zhuge family and was hailed by our Zhuge family as the number one genius in four hundred years. The only one who could be compared to him was our 'First Ancestor,' Zhuge Da Shi, who lived more than four hundred years ago.”

Furthermore... it's not impossible that Xiao Yi possesses the talent of his ancestor, the Martial Marquis.

The three of them were taken aback, and even the Celestial Master and Zuo Ruotong couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

"To my shame, even I, as his uncle, am not clear about Xiao Yi's current level. There is only one thing I can guarantee: in the Zhuge family today, including his uncle's generation, no one can surpass him!"
On our way here, we unfortunately encountered Tu Yao'an, the leader of the Quanxing and Sanmomen sects. His disciples were practicing the Three Corpses Techniques as ordinary people, which we discovered, and a battle ensued.

"I don't think I have a high chance of winning against Tu Yao'an, but I'm sure I can kill him with Bajiquan in a minute by myself..."

The three men's expressions of astonishment deepened. If it weren't for the good reputation of the Zhuge family, they would have thought that Zhuge Cheng was talking nonsense!
As the leader of the Three Demonic Sects and one of the greatest demons of the Quanxing Sect, Tu Yao'an was no ordinary person. Now… he's dead? Killed single-handedly in a minute by a junior member of the Zhuge family?!
"This……"

“It’s amazing…”

Zuo Ruotong shook her head: "It turns out I was overestimating myself. Jin'er is indeed exceptionally talented. When I suggested that he challenge the young patriarch of the Zhuge family, I did think that Jin'er would still have a slight chance of winning, but I didn't expect... But what's said is said, haha, let Jin'er see how high a real genius can be."

"Hahaha, such a thing has happened." Zhang Jingqing stroked his beard and laughed, "It seems my foolish disciple will finally get a good lesson."

Lu Yi shook his head: "At a time when our land of China is in turmoil, the birth of such a genius in the Zhuge family is a blessing for our nation..."

"Alas, I am not worthy of such words. My Zhuge family has long been nothing more than a group of ordinary people who are afraid of death and avoid disaster, merely receiving the glory of our ancestor, the Marquis of Wu."

The four chatted for a while before parting ways.

Zhang Jingqing walked deeper into the woods, found Zhang Zhiwei who was sleeping soundly, and kicked him awake!

"Ah! Master!"

Zhang Zhiwei quickly stood up, a fawning smile on his face: "Is the birthday banquet over?"

"No, there's more to come tomorrow," Zhang Jingqing said with a smile.

This unfamiliar sight sent a chill down Zhang Zhiwei's spine; he had a feeling that his master was plotting something bad against him.

"Let go of me! I can still drink!" On the other side, Lu Jin drunkenly pushed and shoved the Lu family servants who were helping him back to his room.

"Me too!" Lü Ci did the same thing, shoving his brother Lü Ren.

When Zuo Ruotong and Lu Yi returned, they couldn't help but look at each other and shake their heads. What kind of behavior was this? Oh well, let the younger generation indulge themselves today because they're happy. Tomorrow, Jin'er might not be laughing anymore.

"Cousin, I...I feel so dizzy..."

Guan Yi was carrying the drunken Zhuge Yue back to her room, laughing, "Don't throw up on me."

"H-How could this be... Cousin, you're so amazing! I... I'm throwing up, and you dodged it like a shooting star!"

"Let me do it, Xiaoyi."

"No, no... I don't want my cousin to carry me... I want my cousin to smell... Dad's body... stinks..."

When Zhuge Cheng returned, he helplessly and affectionately hugged Zhuge Yue and took her back to her room while saying, "Xiao Yi, tomorrow..." He told Guan Yi what had just happened and said with some concern, "You... be careful."

Is this a warning to Zhang Zhiwei?

To be honest, after eighty years of cultivation, Guan Yi's level was only at the future level of Lu Jin and Lü Ci. Even if his combat ability was stronger, it wouldn't be a level higher and he couldn't compare with the 'Peerless Zhang Zhiwei'.

Although this time, while the sorcerer's skills have improved somewhat, his life cultivation, having not been tempered by time, is still not at that level.

But Zhang Zhiwei now...

Guan Yi smiled and said, "I understand, I will be careful."
