Tang Rao just followed Mo Xinyu in what he was wearing, and Mo Xinyu felt helpless about it too, as Tang Rao said he only had this set of clothes, otherwise he would have to wear something thick.

The entire building was heated, so wearing thicker clothes would be even sillier.

So, just go with it, shorts, short sleeves, and flip-flops—it's astoundingly unconventional.

That's what Mo Xinyu thought anyway.

A few minutes later, Mo Xinyu and Tang Rao arrived at the banquet location, a massive hall filled with all sorts of food and drink. Even so, a large space was left empty, seemingly reserved for other purposes, surrounded by some objects.

After Mo Xinyu entered, of course, she attracted a lot of attention—after all, she was too beautiful.

As for Tang Rao… well, to say he attracted even more attention than Mo Xinyu would be accurate.

Because he was just too bizarre.

What kind of outfit is that? Shorts, short sleeves, and flip-flops? Damn it, this is a banquet, can't you dress a bit more appropriately, at least wear a suit or something.

Must you be so defiant?

"What are you all looking at me for? Eat your food." Tang Rao waved his hand dismissively, as if saying, look at these country bumpkins, having never seen such a free and easy style before.

Quite a few people were displeased with Tang Rao—lad, you're speaking quite aggressively, very arrogant.

"Turns out it's someone from Sui City Branch, tsk tsk tsk, not really up to par, huh? Looks pretty lowly," someone in the crowd commented.

Tang Rao glanced sideways and, sure enough, it was people from Er Qi Branch. They've had conflicts before, and it seemed they're set on having issues with Sui City Branch.

"Friends from Er Qi Branch, I heard earlier that your manners were lacking, which I didn't believe. I thought, how could that be possible for an important area like Er Qi? But now, unfortunately, I have no choice but to believe it. I didn't seek you out or provoke you, and no one stipulates that you can't wear shorts and short sleeves, right? Yet you're all so eager to pounce and bite me, tsk tsk tsk, even my family's fierce dog, Da Huang, waits for its owner's command before attacking. Da Huang would at least bark twice as a warning saying, 'I'm coming for you.' But look at you guys, without any comparison, don't you lack any manners at all?" Tang Rao said.

The whole audience was dumbfounded by Tang Rao's words; damn, these sentences are not explicit yet they scold so effectively, so insidiously venomous.

His mouth is just too malicious.

"Kid, what the hell are you spouting? Looking for trouble?" Of course, someone from Er Qi Branch couldn't stand it, so they cursed back.

"Look, calling me 'kid' and cursing, I disdain even addressing you. Aren't you uncouth? If you're capable, curse like I do without using expletives. If you can't do it, just drink your beverage, eat your food, and don't speak, okay?" Tang Rao said with a teasing smile.

The folks from Er Qi Branch all looked displeased; cursing without using expletives, we're not intellectuals who can insult others in such a roundabout way.

"Damn it, I challenge you! Come here!" From Er Qi Branch, someone couldn't hold back anymore and jumped directly into the cordoned-off open space.

So this space was for fighting? Tang Rao only then realized the purpose of this cleared space.

Everyone was looking at Tang Rao.

Tang Rao slowly took a few steps forward, approached the dining table, then reached out his hand, grabbed a plate, and picked some food.

Then, he turned back to Mo Xinyu: "Xinyu, where shall we sit? So strange, isn't this supposed to be a banquet? Why would people want to fight and kill? It's just too barbaric, lacks any class."

Ignoring.

Yes, Tang Rao just ignored the member from Er Qi Branch who had issued the challenge, and even took a dig at them.

The atmosphere turned awkward, and the fellow from Er Qi Branch who had made the challenge felt so embarrassed, he wished he could die.

Undoubtedly, this round of verbal sparring ended with a complete victory for the Sui City Branch.

The Gu City Branch not only suffered a loss and was scolded until their heads were drenched in dog's blood, but they couldn't even retaliate, because, indeed, not a single curse word came from the person of Sui City Branch.

"Be a man and come up here." The challenger from Gu City Branch roared furiously, seemingly on the brink of losing control.

"Shut your mouth. Don't spoil my appetite while I'm eating. Having a decent meal and you must shout and scream; I'm really fed up with you. You're simply dragging down the level of the entire banquet," Tang Rao said, shaking his head.

"You, now, immediately, get your ass over here. You're a cultivator too, so resolve this with a cultivator's methods! What's the use of having a sharp tongue? Does it ensure the safety of Blue Star?"

"Cultivator's methods?" Tang Rao held a wine cup in his hand and chuckled, "Alright, since you're so intent on this, I'll oblige you."

Saying this, Tang Rao tilted his wine cup and the red wine spilled onto the ground.

When everyone was puzzled, the red wine suddenly rose into the air and hovered in front of Tang Rao.

"You better block this sip of wine," Tang Rao laughed, then without any further action, propelled the red wine toward the guy from Gu City Branch with his spiritual energy.

It moved slowly, without hurry.

As it traveled, the red wine changed shapes, now into a rose, now into a treasure sword.

"Trivial trickery, fancy but useless!" The man from Gu City Branch scoffed with disdain.

Who wouldn't know this technique? It's just controlling with spiritual energy, making it seem real.

"Disperse!" The man from Gu City Branch roared and casually threw a wave of spiritual energy toward the wine.

However, his attack did not hit the wine, which cleverly evaded it. And by then, the wine was nearly upon him.

"Open!" Tang Rao slightly moved his arm, spreading his fingers.

Bang!

A sip of red wine abruptly dispersed, turning into droplets, which then formed a palm.

Next, with a thunderous impact, this palm struck the chest of the man from Gu City Branch.

After a dull thud, the man from Gu City Branch flew backward, his face instantly turned pale, and he crashed against the wall behind him, struggling a couple of times but then helplessly gave up.

Everyone was stunned by Tang Rao's move.

After all, that guy from Gu City Branch was at the Nascent Soul peak, just one step away from entering the Soul Division stage.

And yet, he lost just like that!

"It seems you can't even block a sip of wine; it appears that Gu City Branch can't even compare to my 'trivial trickery'," Tang Rao added another disparaging comment.

"You arrogant brat, I'll take you on!" At this point, Sun Tianfei could no longer sit by idly. As the strongest cultivator of the Gu City Branch, if he remained seated after his people got thrashed, it would be hard to justify.

"Sun Tianfei, if there's going to be a fight, I'll be your opponent," Er Qi walked up to Tang Rao, giving him an approving look.

Tang Rao's move just now had really brought a lot of faces to the Sui City Branch.

Not only did he talk the talk, but he was also quick to act in a fight, defeating his opponent efficiently without bloodshed.

Tang Rao did not refuse; it was clear that there was a deep conflict between Er Qi and Sun Tianfei, so they might as well fight.
