Chapter 125 Return to the original owner, the two do not owe each other
After about twenty days of long journey, Lei Jue and his team rushed back, but they were empty-handed.
As soon as Lei Jue came back, he heard that Xiao Yi and Jing Yihan had broken through to the first level of the holy realm, and his expression changed slightly.
For so many years, Lei Jue and Lei Jiu have been competing with each other, and the two are evenly matched in terms of strength.
So both of them focused their struggle on cultivating disciples.
In the past, Lei Jue trained eight true disciples, who were proud of everyone.
But Lei Jiu couldn't train a single true disciple, and his face was ruined.
From this, Lei Jue has been suppressing Lei Jiu.
So much so, that when the two met, Lei Jue acted in a superior manner.
Unexpectedly, this situation was broken. Xiao Yi and Jing Yihan's breakthrough meant that Lei Jiu was not only proud, but also caught up with Lei Jue.
It can be said that, except for Luo Beichuan, the other disciples of Lei Jue are no longer enough.
It's like you are always far ahead of your competitors, giving you a sense of superiority in front of your competitors.
Suddenly one day, you are shocked to find that your competitor is catching up with you at a flying speed and is on an equal footing with you.
Such a gap will seriously hurt your dignity and arrogance in your heart, and will make you feel very uncomfortable.
Not to mention Lei Jue's current mentality, even Pan Haiyue and Yan Qingxue couldn't accept it. They were already far behind Xiao Yi.
Thinking about it before, they could beat Xiao Yi to death by joining forces, but what about now?
"Impossible, how did this guy improve so fast?"
Pan Haiyue's mentality was a bit broken, and his confidence began to waver.
Yan Qingxue doubted life, why Xiao Yi and she had made rapid progress through indirect cultivation. If this guy and Liu Yan had directly cultivated together, it would not have taken off.
It was over, Yan Qingxue knew that she would never be able to catch up with Xiao Yi.
But there is also good news, that is, after Xiao Yi returned to the sect, he did not tell anyone about Pan Haiyue's attempt to harm his fellow sect.
This undoubtedly made Lei Jue, Pan Haiyue, and Yan Qingxue feel relieved.
It just so happens that today is the right day for Wan Lei Tianmen to hold a banquet for all those who are prestigious and qualified in the sect, as well as the true disciples.
After Lei Jue found out, he quickly asked Pan Haiyue and Yan Qingxue to go back and freshen up, maintain a good spirit, attend the banquet, and win the battle.
After explaining, Lei Jue left with a sullen face.
Pan Haiyue and Yan Qingxue lowered their heads, not even daring to watch, for fear that if they made eye contact, they would see the anger in Lei Jue's eyes.
"Okay, let's go back and get ready."
After saying that, Pan Haiyue looked dejected and walked away very lonely.
Yan Qingxue's heart felt a little blocked, knowing that this blow would be severe to Pan Haiyue, and it would be difficult for him to recover in a short time.
But Yan Qingxue believes in Pan Haiyue and the man she likes.
The sun sets and the party is about to begin.
Everyone sat down one by one according to their positions, whispering, chatting and laughing.
More and more people are coming, and it’s becoming more and more lively.
Yan Qingxue dressed up well, washed away her fatigue, put on a beautiful dress, and looked full of energy. It can be said that she was dressed up for the occasion.
Maybe Yan Qingxue doesn't have much confidence in her cultivation, but when it comes to beauty, Yan Qingxue has never seen anyone prettier than herself.
But Pan Haiyue next to him didn't seem to be very interested. He lowered his head, rarely spoke, and didn't even react much to Yan Qingxue's words.
Yan Qingxue was a little angry. She dressed herself up beautifully just for Pan Haiyue to see, just to make Pan Haiyue change his mood.
On the contrary, Xiao Yi and Liu Yan talked, laughed, and were so close that they were almost astonishing to others.
Luo Beichuan, the first true disciple, was also present. He casually chatted with everyone, and then urged the food to be served quickly. He was very hungry.
With the arrival of the deputy sect leader, he raised his chair and the banquet officially began.
Everyone gathered together, eating, drinking, and chatting.
Some chat about martial arts and techniques, which ones are better and which ones are worse.
Some talked about their recent insights into cultivation and how to improve themselves to a higher level.
Some people even suggested what the sect should do next, and then everyone would discuss it.
The seniors were talking nicely, while the juniors were listening carefully. Only Luo Beichuan was focused on eating and drinking.
Suddenly someone changed the topic to the assignment of operational tasks, saying that someone has recently accepted too many tasks, but has not accomplished anything well, and that others should be given more opportunities.
The implication behind these words is that they are clearly aimed at Lei Jue.
Lei Jue didn't like what he heard. He remained calm on the surface, but secretly gritted his teeth and remembered this time.
Some people also deliberately ridiculed that Lei Jue went out to fight here. He cherished his life and cherished his disciples. It was better than Lei Yan's entire army to be destroyed.
This is simply unbearable. With Lei Jue's fiery temper, if the deputy sect leader hadn't been present, he would have really rushed to fight.
What’s more, in recent times, Lei Jue and his disciples really haven’t achieved any impressive results, and you don’t have the face to compete.
The deputy sect leader Lei Heng appeared calm on the surface, but while listening to everyone's high-pitched talk, he secretly locked his energy on Lei Jue.
This is tantamount to telling the hot-tempered Lei Jue not to mess around.
Don’t forget, who is hosting this banquet? If you mess up, you will have trouble with deputy sect leader Lei Heng.
The first level of officialdom suppresses people to death, Lei Jue can only choose to swallow his anger.
At this time, someone shifted the topic to the recent progress of Xiao Yi, Jing Yihan, Ye Huafei, and Jin Yufeng. They felt that there was hope for Wan Lei Tianmen's successor, and even expressed great relief.
Upon hearing this, Lei Jueji came to mind, and immediately said that everyone should eat and drink enough, and let the disciples stretch their muscles a little to add to the fun of the banquet.
Many people immediately agreed. They wanted to see the strength of these true disciples who had high hopes.
Lei Jiu frowned slightly, knowing that this was Lei Jue trying to find a place for himself and earn back the face he had lost.
With Luo Beichuan here, it can be said that Lei Jue's side will definitely win.
Those who support the five true disciples to compete are just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Because their disciples are not as outstanding as Xiao Yi, Jing Yihan, Ye Huafei, and Jin Yufeng. So they are also happy to see these disciples fight, and it is best to lose both sides.
The deputy sect leader neither objected nor agreed, but watched all this with great interest.
"Okay, then let's stop ordering and don't hurt the harmony."
Lei Jue said while looking at Luo Beichuan.
As a result, Luo Beichuan was still eating and drinking, not paying any attention to the competition.
"What? It's not a banquet. It's not just about eating and drinking. How come it's changed to a competition, and you have to use hands and feet?"
Luo Beichuan was reluctant, but Lei Jue's eyes were very strong and he had to go.
There was no turning back when the bow was fired, the atmosphere was already aroused, and Jin Yufeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on stage.
Ye Huafei is calm and has only one opponent in his eyes, and that is the strongest one.
Jing Yihan is still very indifferent, as if it doesn't matter whether he is beaten or not.
Xiao Yi was a little excited. Finally, he could finally experience the strength of this first true disciple.
