With a turn of his gaze, Su Chen returned to the first Firmament.
At that moment, the Three Pure Ones Mystic Assembly had ended. The experts from various continents were already preparing to leave. The sea was extremely lively.
Su Chen stretched lazily. He had to go back as well. He had to go back to Nanjiang to look for Ye Beibei. He did not know how she would feel after finding out about his background, but he had to face what he had to face. Running away was not a solution.
Soon, Su Chen returned to the inn and saw that it was decorated with lanterns and banners. Many people had gathered.
As soon as Su Chen appeared, everyone came forward and bowed respectfully at Su Chen.
"Congratulations, Bishop Su, on becoming the champion of the Mystic Assembly."
"Bishop Su, you will definitely have a great opportunity after being received by the Holy Lord. In the future, your name will spread throughout the entire Eastern Fence Sea."
Su Chen wore a helpless look. These bootlickers probably weren't even interested in knowing his name before, but now, all of them were shamelessly trying to befriend him.
Su Chen couldn't be bothered with these people. Just as he was about to head upstairs, he suddenly saw Li Xuan and Jiang Bufan walking over side by side.
"Jiang Bufan, are you here to challenge me?" Su Chen asked.
Jiang Bufan hurriedly said, "Brother Su, don't misunderstand. I'm also here to congratulate you. I've never admired many people in my life, but from today onwards, Brother Su will be one of the people I respect."
"Then I should really feel honored," Li Xuan said with a chuckle.
Li Xuan chuckled and said, "Brother Su, I specially set up a banquet to invite you for a drink or two. I wonder if you have the time."
"Forget about drinking. I'm leaving the Holy Region today. We are all young talents in the sea. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to interact in the future. There's no need to rush."
"Brother Su, you're right. Then, I won't disturb you any further. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely visit the Northern Mystic Continent personally."
Li Xuan's meek and humble attitude left many people dumbfounded.
The half-infatuated Daoist Apprentice Li Xuan was an extremely arrogant person. Yet, he actually praised and flattered Su Chen in such a manner.
Even Jiang Bufan was the same. He was the son of the Immovable Wisdom King. How powerful was the person who could make him feel respect?
Most of the people didn't know what had happened in the Nine Heavens, so they were starting to get curious.
"The Blue Lord is here!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door.
Xu Canglan walked over with a gloomy face.
Li Xuan and Jiang Bufan were on guard.
"Xu Canglan, are you a sore loser?"
"My Brother Su's business is my business. If you dare attack here, I won't sit idly by!"
Xu Canglan completely ignored the two of them. He strode into the inn and stared straight at Su Chen.
"Cang Lan will forever remember today's humiliation. Within three years, I will surpass you!"
Su Chen laughed. "Xu Canglan, you sure are persistent. Alright, I accept your challenge. In three years, I'll be waiting for you in the Northern Xuan Continent. Li Xuan, Jiang Bufan, you can also bring people to watch the battle."
With that, Su Chen went upstairs without looking back.
At that moment, Liu Yue, Kong Lingxuan, and Xiao Yushi heard the commotion and walked down the stairs. They were surprised to hear Su Chen's words.
"Brother Chen, why did you accept Xu Canglan's challenge? This guy has a Dao artifact and is very strong."
"However, three years is enough to change many things. I believe in Su Chen's ability. In three years, Xu Canglan might not even be able to touch Su Chen's heels."
Su Chen chuckled.
In fact, he didn't think too much about it.
He just wanted to use this opportunity to attract these young experts to the Northern Xuan Continent in three years.
At that time, Su Chen might be able to borrow their hands to deal with the mysterious person related to the Divine Heavens Sect.
They came in one group, but when they left, it became three groups.
Because they were going in the same direction, Kong Lingxuan and Xiao Yushi naturally followed Su Chen and left.
A huge pleasure boat floated above the clouds, traveling at an extremely fast speed.
Su Chen and the others sat in the spacious and comfortable boat.
This was one of Kong Lingxuan's magic treasures, the Floating Boat. It only took five days to fly from the Sacred Realm to the Northern Xuan Continent. It was twice as fast as the Golden Roc.
At that moment, the Golden Roc and Xiao Yushi's flying mounts were resting on the deck of the Floating Boat. The other priests were also in the other cabins.
Although the Floating Boat didn't look big on the outside, it was extremely spacious inside. It was divided into several cabins, more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
"Sir, tell me what happened after that. How did you defeat Xu Canglan? And the Sacred Lord, did you see the Sacred Lord in person?
What does he look like? "
Yue Ya 'er pestered Su Chen and asked him all sorts of questions.
Su Chen chose to talk about some things. Of course, Su Chen couldn't tell her that the Sacred Lord was from the demon race.
If this news were to spread, it would cause a huge tsunami in the Eastern Border Sea. Countless people would probably lose their faith because of it.
Yue Ya 'er said, "After all this time, it turns out that you went to be a gigolo. You got Sister Yushi and Sister Peacock to support you before pushing you to first place. Sir, you disappoint me."
Su Chen blushed with shame. So my efforts were useless in your eyes, and I only left the impression of being a gigolo?
Kong Lingxuan and Xiao Yushi snickered secretly. They had no intention of standing up for Su Chen.
Unknowingly, night fell.
The starry sky shone on the vast sea. The lights on the pleasure boat were brilliant and the atmosphere was lively.
Su Chen personally cooked a sumptuous dinner.
Kong Lingxuan said in surprise, "I didn't expect Brother Chen to have such good cooking skills. I'm really surprised."
Xiao Yushi said, "Sister Xuan, you have to be mentally prepared. After eating Su Chen's food, you probably won't have any appetite for other delicacies in the future."
"Is it that bad?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "Sister Xuan, you'll know when you try it."
Kong Lingxuan curiously picked up a piece of barbecued meat and tasted it. Her eyes immediately lit up.
"It's true!"
Then, Kong Lingxuan took out a jar of wine from her storage ring.
"This is the Phoenix Wine that my mother personally brewed. It has a history of five hundred years. There are less than ten jars left in the world. I stole this one. It seems that I have to open it today no matter what."
As soon as the jar was opened, a rich wine aroma wafted out of the cabin.
"Good wine!"
"It seems that there's an ancient Yuan Qi floating here. It's intoxicating."
Kong Lingxuan smiled and poured a cup for everyone. She said, "This Phoenix Wine is very strong. You must taste it slowly. If you can't handle it, you must stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, just a few drops will make you drunk."
"Bang …"
Before she finished speaking, Yue Ya 'er slid under the table. Her face was red and she was drunk.
Su Chen blushed with shame. Little girl, why did you join in the fun …
