Seeing that no one objected, Hu Tao was very happy and continued, "However, before the opening remarks, let's all raise a toast to Su Hao."

"Whether it's water, tea, juice, or wine, everyone..."

"He is the most distinguished person on our side, the acting rock god, the next thunder god, and even the acting grass god."

"It's said he also has connections with the Wind God, but that's not important! Anyway, let's toast to him!"

As she said this, Hu Tao took the lead, pointing her teacup at Su Hao, wanting to offer him a toast.

The others did the same, because what Hu Tao said was indeed true. In terms of both status and strength, Su Hao was indeed the highest-ranking person on the surface.

But Su Hao's smile froze instantly.

Chapter 491 Let's all raise a toast to Immortal Xiao!

Su Hao's smile froze instantly, because on the surface, neither the Eightfold Divine Child nor Xiao had a higher status than him.

On the surface, he was at least acting as the Rock God and the next Thunder God, and even once held the position of Grass God, though only as an acting one.

But Su Hao has always maintained a humble attitude. He doesn't think he's any more noble than others, so he's never put on airs.

His opinion doesn't mean that everyone else thinks the same way.

In Hu Tao's view, although Su Hao came as a friend, his identity was something that could not be ignored.

Even the middle-aged man who had previously been in charge of entertaining them had secretly mentioned it when Hu Tao left.

They will refund the Mora that Master Hu paid in full, but they have one small request.

Hopefully, Master Hu will make sure Su Hao enjoys his meal.

There were no kind words, only the wish that Su Hao would enjoy the meal.

If the other party has any complaints, we hope that Master Hu will explain them in time, and they will definitely make changes!

This also illustrates, in a sense, just how noble Su Hao's status is right now.

Hu Tao isn't the type to enjoy formalism, but she won't ignore the necessary procedures, which is why we're in this situation now.

"This……"

Su Hao's smile vanished instantly; for a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.

Because among the people present, his status was definitely not the highest.

Whether it's Zhongli, Wendy, Raiden, Raiden, the Great Tree King, or Naxida, these earthly deities who govern are far more noble than his apparent identity.

Not to mention Rota Dragon King, the Rock Dragon King who has the power to control the rock element.

Su Hao is merely the next god, or a proxy god.

They are real gods.

In a sense, Hu Tao's words put Su Hao on the spot and put him in a difficult position.

"Here, let me toast you!"

The Eightfold Divine Child, not content with just a few trivial matters, directly offered a toast to Su Hao.

Xiao blinked. He was aware of the situation, but he still raised his teacup and toasted Su Hao.

At the same time, Xiao understood why the Emperor always said that he couldn't handle Hall Master Hu; now he knew the reason.

If this happened to him, he probably wouldn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Su Hao was here.

"Uh..." Paimon felt embarrassed for Su Hao. She hesitated, unsure of what to say.

But Ying pulled Paimon over and said in a soft voice, "It's okay, just keep toasting. Let's get through this awkward situation quickly."

Upon hearing Ying's words, Paimon quickly raised his glass and toasted Su Hao.

And so, those in the know began to raise their glasses and toast Su Hao.

Those unaware of the situation naturally offered a toast, because Su Hao's status was indeed very high, and no one would say anything more.

Then, my gaze shifted to another table.

“That’s only right.” Zhongli thought it was normal. He looked at Su Hao and said calmly, “Since it’s inconvenient to drink alcohol today, I’ll offer you a cup of tea instead.”

"Oh my!" Wendy stood up with a smile, looking at Su Hao and saying, "I'll toast you with wine instead of tea!"

Lei Dianzhen and Lei Yingdian didn't stand on ceremony. In their eyes, Su Hao's future achievements would definitely surpass theirs.

Besides, what's wrong with offering a toast? Neither Raiden Shin nor Raiden Movie are polite people.

Raiden and Raiden jointly raised their glasses full of juice, offering a toast to Su Haojing as well.

King Ruoduo laughed heartily and naturally made the same gesture; he found this very novel.

Naxi Da and the Great Tree King also raised their cups to toast Su Hao.

Because, putting aside everything else, Su Hao's contributions to Xumi and to them can be said to be the greatest.

If it weren't for Su Hao, the Great Compassion Tree King would probably be on the verge of death right now.

Furthermore, if it weren't for Su Hao, Nasita felt she couldn't defeat the Doctor and the skirmishers, let alone reorganize the Order House.

Ella and Black Ella, naturally without any psychological burden, also toasted Su Hao.

And so, with Su Hao drenched in sweat, he was toasted by everyone.

"Thank you everyone."

Su Hao didn't intend to say much, only thanking everyone before sitting down decisively. Finally, he turned his gaze to Hu Tao and asked, "Could Hall Master Hu please begin with her opening remarks?"

"Or is there someone else you want to toast?"

To be honest, Su Hao was just asking casually at that moment and didn't mean anything by it.

But when Hu Tao heard this, she nodded very seriously and said matter-of-factly, "Of course there is. In fact, besides you, there is someone else who needs to be toasted."

"That is naturally the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons!"

As soon as Hu Tao said those words, Xiao's hand, which was holding chopsticks and about to pick up some food, became unsteady.

The chopsticks landed directly in the bowl, which shows how shocked Xiao was.

Why did it have to be my turn?! Thinking of the scene just now, Xiao suddenly felt that the karmic burden in his body was about to burst forth.

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

Su Hao, who had just been caught in the rain and was about to hold an umbrella for Xiao, looked at Hu Tao and said, "Toasting is nothing."

"Why don't we start eating right away? Look at Mr. Zhongli's friends, they're all hungry."

Yes, Naga King Ruoduo has started eating. He has been under the Naga tree for so long and hasn't had a decent meal yet.

Now that we have the opportunity, we naturally start eating right away.

And it wasn't just the Dragon King Ruotu; Lei Yingdian had also started eating as a snack long ago.

The sweets at Liuli Pavilion look the same as the sweets we usually eat in Liyue.

Lei Yingdian had already tasted many desserts, and just from the aroma alone, he could tell that the appetizers at Liuli Pavilion would taste quite good.

However, after hearing what Su Hao said, the two of them put away their chopsticks in perfect unison, pretending that they were not hungry.

Hu Tao glanced at the unfamiliar guests at the next table, blinked, and refused, saying, "That won't do. Everything the Great Sage has done is enough for us all to toast him."

"Furthermore, our Rebirth Hall had a very close relationship with the Great Sage during the distant War of Demons and Gods."

"Many people may not be very familiar with the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, so let's have our guest elder explain it!"

"This is important! Let me tell you about the past between the Dharma Protector Yaksha and the Hall of Rebirth!!"

Hu Tao directly addressed the issue of Xiao, not because she was deliberately making things difficult for Zhong Li, but because she was introducing these ancient matters.

Even Hu Tao had to admit that the guest advisor was more capable than herself.

Seeing that Hu Tao wanted him to talk about Xiao, Zhong Li's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, clearly not expecting the matter to suddenly fall on his shoulders.

However, Zhongli, who was a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, slowly spoke up: "It is said that during the War of the Demon Gods, there were many conflicts and disasters, and humans could not escape the torment of disease and death."

"The immortals subdued demons and monsters, the Thousand Rocks Army fought valiantly, and the Hall of Rebirth was responsible for eradicating diseases and sending the souls of the dead back to their rightful place."

"In this way, the line between life and death can be clearly defined during times of war, thus avoiding more trouble."

"Besides that, the hall master asked me to talk about the key point, which is that the current guardian Yaksha, in order to maintain the peace of Liyue, ultimately only has the Great Sage in front of them left."

After saying that, Zhongli shut his mouth and didn't say anything more.

After hearing these words, the people present were all moved by a certain emotion.

Although Zhongli spoke lightly, everyone could tell that in that era of war, whether it was the immortals, the Thousand Rock Army, or the Hall of Rebirth.

They all paid a heavy price to suppress the disaster, but even so, now only Xiao remains of the [Guardian Yaksha].

"Yes, for thousands of years, the Great Sage has paid an immeasurable price to protect the peace of this region."

Chongyun was also deeply moved. He sighed, "Our family of exorcists also holds the Great Sage in high esteem. For thousands of years, we have been striving to improve ourselves."

"It is so that we can help the Great Sage to slay demons and eliminate the remnants of the demon gods."

Xingqiu nodded slightly and looked at Xiao beside him, saying, "Chongyun is right. Liyue has now entered the era of humans and immortals."

"As human beings, we naturally want to contribute our own strength to you, Great Sage, and all the other immortals."

“You once held up an umbrella for us, now it’s our turn.”

Chongyun and Xingqiu spoke these words from the bottom of their hearts, as they both knew the past history of Liyue.

They were well aware of the burdens the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons carried, and the Emperor's announcement last year of the era of humans and immortals inspired them to speak out.

Hu Tao nodded repeatedly as she listened, and said happily, "The guest elder gets one point, and Chongyun and Xingqiu each get one point."

"Ah~ It was definitely the right decision to have this meal today~ Everyone else is grieving for the Emperor's passing, but they don't seem to be thinking about why the Emperor made such a decision a year ago."

"So, what do you guys think about this?"

Hu Tao looked at the table of [Gods] where Su Hao was sitting not far away and asked them what they thought about it.

After all, they had been silent from the very beginning, communicating frantically with their eyes.

He didn't say a word, and the other members seemed like silent gourds.
