The largest tavern in the city, Tianxing Building.
Today, the top floor of Tianxing Building had been reserved in its entirety by the Lan Hua Society, for they were to host a tea party there.
The Lan Hua Society, led by Yan Qingrou with her Innate Taoist Body, could be called a major organization among the Central State Geniuses.
With the Lan Hua Society’s tea party taking place today, it naturally attracted a large number of Central State Geniuses.
"I’ve heard that our Lan Hua Society has recently taken in a new member named Lin Yi, from the Eastern Domain. His Swordsmanship is extraordinary, and he shone brilliantly on Divine Light Mountain, ascending to the ranks of the first echelon of Central State Geniuses."
"Indeed, it’s surprising that after sister Yan Qingrou, our Lan Hua Society has brought in another Supreme Demon. Out of the five Great Demons of Central State, our society now uniquely possesses two!"
"Sister Yan Qingrou is a Goddess with Innate grace, we have long admired her. Today’s main event is to behold the elegance of Lin Yi, the fifth Great Demon of Central State."
"It’s also unknown what Lin Yi’s appearance and character are like, or whether he already has a significant other. Otherwise, this could be a fine opportunity for the sisters."
In Tianxing Building, this new member Lin Yi undoubtedly became the focal point of the Lan Hua Society’s members’ discussions.
Many female members already fantasized about Lin Yi’s appearance in their minds, secretly feeling the stirrings of spring.
"This Lin Yi, yet to make an appearance, has already become the focus of the Lan Hua Society, clearly gaining the momentum to become the society’s new male deity."
A black-clothed youth shook his head and spoke in the gathering.
His words carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Before this, the male deity of the Lan Hua Society has always been Brother Qin Hao."
The black-clothed youth looked towards "Qin Hao," a young man dressed in silver Battle Armor, who frowned upon hearing these words.
In the Lan Hua Society, he had always been the strongest among the male members.
As a result, he won the admiration of many female members, affording him quite fortuitous romantic endeavors.
He was never lacking female companions.
But now, a Lin Yi had suddenly emerged, regarded as a figure on par with the leader Yan Qingrou, which gave rise to a significant sense of threat in him.
Qin Hao’s gaze fell upon a figure not too far away, "It’s said that you brought him into the Lan Hua Society. How much do you understand about his strength?"
In response to Qin Hao’s question, Sikong Xin did not dare to neglect and immediately clasped his hands and said, "I have only met Lin Yi once, which was on Divine Light Mountain."
"He made rapid progress all the way, charging straight to the first echelon of the Wutian Divine Stele, stunning the entire Divine Light Mountain."
"As for his strength, he hasn’t revealed it, so I am not too clear."
Leaving one’s name on the Divine Stele primarily reflected talent, not strength. The stronger one was, the stronger the opponents faced when challenging the stele would be, which did not greatly enhance the chance of leaving one’s name on it.
"Lin Yi is from the Eastern Domain. The external conditions like the cultivation environment, Cultivation Techniques, resources, etc., are not as good as ours, the Central State Geniuses. Although his talent is high, his strength probably isn’t that formidable."
The black-clothed youth commented noncommittally.
Qin Hao nodded. In the eyes of the Central State Geniuses, the Four Regions were simply barbaric lands, primitive and backward. The Cultivation Resources Lin Yi could access in the Eastern Domain were limited, and his strength surely couldn’t compare to theirs, the Central State Geniuses.
At that moment, a fragrant breeze suddenly swept through the Tianxing Building, filling the entire hall, invigorating everyone’s spirits, as they focused their gazes. Within their sights, a delicate and ethereal silhouette appeared in the venue; that snow-white neck and slender, rounded waist could ignite the flame of desire in even the most steadfast of hearts.
Those were a pair of exceedingly beautiful eyes, brimming with spirit yet also carrying a hint of soft allure, almost as if they could hook away a man’s soul.
Around her, Yin and Yang energies flowed, exuding the aura of the Great Way. Wherever she passed, she left a trace of Taoist rhyme, making it difficult for others to approach.
Qin Hao, Sikong Xin, and other male geniuses all wore a look of intoxication on their faces.
This woman was none other than the leader of their Lan Hua Society, the Innate Taoist Body, Yan Qingrou!
Qin Hao, Sikong Xin, and others immediately bowed to Yan Qingrou as a greeting.
Yan Qingrou’s stunning face revealed a smile, "Everyone has arrived."
"We have also just arrived not long ago,"
Yan Qingrou glanced around at everyone present, then her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, "And where is Lin Yi?"
Seeing that Yan Qingrou’s first inquiry upon arrival was about Lin Yi’s whereabouts, Qin Hao’s face slightly darkened, "This person has yet to show up."
"This lad really is something, as a new member attending the tea party for the first time, yet he’s already late. That’s seriously lacking discipline."
However, Yan Qingrou didn’t care in the slightest, just smiled and shook her head, "Our Lan Hua Society, to begin with, doesn’t have many rules. We are all a group of unruly people. It is precisely because of this that we can embrace all, attracting Geniuses from all walks to join."
"What the Leader said is absolutely true,"
Sikong Xin, standing by, very much agreed, "I informed Lin Yi of our Lan Hua Society’s principles right away, and it is precisely because of this that he agreed to join our society."
Just then, a bustle arose from the periphery of the venue, as someone with a loud voice exclaimed, "Lin Yi has arrived!"
In an instant, all eyes in the room focused in that direction.
Within their line of sight, Lin Yi and Chi Yuan arrived side by side, entering the tea party venue.
