Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1087: A Joke

After Yi Chan left, she never came back again. The two young masters of the Yin Clan also never came once. Only Zhan Tianlei came twice, insisting on hosting a welcome banquet for Li Tian; both times Yin Ruobing had declined on Jiang Yi’s behalf.

Jiang Yi was staying very peacefully in Yin Ruobing’s Heaven Fate Canopy. If he could continue staying like this until half a month later when the restrictions on Mystic Divine Mountain were loosened, that would be perfect. It was a pity that on the eighth day of Jiang Yi’s stay, he had no choice but to go out.

A young master of the Yin Clan was celebrating his thirtieth birthday. This was a big event that Yin Ruobing had to attend. As Jiang Yi was impersonating Li Tian, he could also find no way to not attend. Jiang Yi was very troubled upon receiving this piece of news. He could only pray that the banquet would go by peacefully.

Yin Ruobing was dressed very elegantly this day. She wore a black pleated dress and was barefooted as usual. Contrasting with the black skirt, her two feet were mesmerizing. If there were men with foot fetishes, they could probably play with this pair of feet for a couple of years.

“It will be fine. If you keep a low profile, there ought not to be any trouble.”

Yin Ruobing saw that Jiang Yi looked slightly troubled, smiled, and tried to reassure him. She then continued, “The one hosting today’s banquet is my second brother Yin Feihuang. You can call him Second Brother, too. He is not very familiar with my cousin. You can casually strike up a conversation with him, and that would be sufficient. Let’s go, I’ll take care of everything.”

“Alright then!”

Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Yi had a feeling that he was being a freeloader. He scratched his nose, slightly embarrassed, and followed Yin Ruobing outside.

After walking out of the Teleportation Formation in a flash of light, they appeared outside. Zhan Tianlei was already waiting there. He saw Yin Ruobing’s black dress that made her look so incredibly pretty. His eyes lit up as he praised her. “Ruobing, you look good in anything. This dress has added a special touch to you. It’s so beautiful.”

Jiang Yi heard this at the side and goosebumps appeared on his skin. Yin Ruobing was also very embarrassed. She smiled slightly and said, “Let’s go.”

The three did not bring any guards and walked towards one of the Heaven Fate Canopies. They were just making their way there when Yi Chan’s Heaven Fate Canopy lit up. Yi Chan appeared outside, and Yin Ruobing immediately went to welcome her. Jiang Yi looked over and secretly nodded: a beauty was indeed a beauty. With a pure heart, a girl would look nice wearing anything.

Yi Chan also wore a silky black dress today and also had a face mask on. Her purple hair was so beautiful, making her look like a succubus in the night. Standing together with Yin Ruobing made the two look like two flowers fighting for supremacy, captivating the attention of all the guards present.

Yi Chan gave a slight look at Jiang Yi and Zhan Tianlei and headed straight into the Heaven Fate Canopy where the banquet was going to be held. It looked as if she wasn’t in a good mood. The group entered the Heaven Fate Canopy, and—with a flash of light—arrived into a grand central hall.

Yin Feihuang’s Heaven Fate Canopy was very stylish and grand. A red carpet was laid all the way outside the central hall where more than a dozen maidservants knelt as they welcomed the guests. There was an old housekeeper that was also offering greetings with a huge smile on his face.

Yin Feihuang was Yin Ruobing’s elder male cousin and was the most gifted disciple among the younger generation in the Yin Clan. He was thirty this year and had attained the prowess of a five-star martial expert. He was much stronger than Yin Ruobing’s two younger brothers. If he could break through to be a Demigod, it was highly likely he could become the young clan head.

“Hahaha!”

The group had just entered the courtyard when a refreshing voice rang out from inside the central hall. A tall and big youngster walked out. He was handsome and had a special air to him that made him stand out. He swept a glance at the group present, cupped his hands, and greeted Zhan Tianlei first. “Young Master Tianlei, you have to drink throughout the night with me today.”

“Definitely, definitely!” Whenever Yin Ruobing was around, Zhan Tianlei always was rather low profile. He just cupped his hands and didn’t say much.

Yin Feihuang then paid his respects to Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing and finally looked at Jiang Yi. He said, “Li Tian, I had long heard that you have arrived. It has been a busy few days, and I haven’t had the chance to welcome you properly. Please drink more today.”

Jiang Yi waved his fan, nodded, and said, “Second Brother is too kind.”

Yin Feihuang personally brought the group inside. The central hall here was much bigger than Yin Ruobing’s. However, Yin Ruobing didn’t like having too many people around, preferring tranquility and peace. If the hall was too big, it conversely made the place feel too empty.

The entire central hall was filled with golden tables. From a quick glance, it seemed like there were at least a hundred tables. It was literally packed with people. Ling Qijian, Tu Long, Jian Wuying, and company were all present. There were also countless young masters and young mistresses from the various clans present. Jiang Yi had a headache just looking at them.

The arrival of Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, and Zhan Tianlei had caused a huge commotion. On the flip side, not many knew Li Tian and thus not many paid any attention to him. Numerous young masters and young mistresses came over to chat idly; Jiang Yi was even pushed to a side.

He smiled helplessly and—under the guidance of the old housekeeper—found a golden table and sat down. He hated these banquets the most in the past; at present, he felt like he was sitting on pincushions. He couldn’t wait to leave immediately.

Yin Ruobing, Yi Chan, and company all had their specially allocated seats. Yin Ruobing looked at Jiang Yi, nodded, and walked to her seat, sitting quietly as she waited for the banquet to start.

She Fei, Ye Ying, and company arrived soon after. Ye Ying was indeed courting Ling Shiya. When he arrived, his eyes locked on to her, and he almost fell over himself and ran over to her. She Fei’s arrogant and wild gaze fell sharply on Yi Chan.

Jiang Yi looked at She Fei and silently nodded. The first young master of the She Clan was indeed extraordinary. He seemed stronger than before and had a very special air. He had an ambitious potential in him.

As almost everyone had arrived, the banquet also started. Countless maidservants emerged just like a flowing river, bearing all types of delicacies. As Jiang Yi’s seating position was quite low in rank—combined with his low profile nature, he only nodded to acknowledge a young master and mistress near him, did not say anything, and ate in silence.

In the middle of the central hall were dancers performing while in the corner, musicians were playing their music. The banquet was roaring along with all the young masters raising their glasses and making conversation with the young mistresses sitting next to them. Only Jiang Yi felt out of place.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere became even livelier. Zhan Tianlei, Ye Ying, She Fei, and company were talking with fervor about dao patterns and different types of mystical abilities, about the Mystic Divine Mountain to the Mystic Divine Palace, and also from the matters of the world to regional conflicts, from the East Imperial Continent to Sin Island. Everyone spoke boldly and loftily as if each one of them had the ability to wipe out the thirteen clans of Sin Island on their own.

Jiang Yi listened, was secretly bored, and was slightly annoyed. However, the banquet had just started; if he left like this, that would attract the attention of many people. Furthermore, if Yin Ruobing wasn’t going to head back, it was also not convenient for him to return to the Heaven Fate Canopy. He had no choice but to continue sitting in silence and listen to this group of young masters talk rubbish.

As the conversation continued, someone suddenly talked about zen. She Fei’s eyes flashed as he wanted to impress Yi Chan. He stood up and said, “I have been bitterly studying zen and have gained some insights into it. I would like to share these thoughts with everyone and hope that everyone can point out my inadequacies.”

Yi Chan, who had been lowering her head and not speaking, slightly raised her head. It appeared as if she was a little interested.

She Fei became even more excited. He waved a hand and dismissed the dancers in the center of the central hall and walked straight to the middle himself. He said, “I think that the zen dao of this world revolves around the heart. Cultivating zen means the cultivation of one’s heart. Everything should follow nature’s course; we should follow our own hearts. This is the highest realm of zen.

“Just like the Buddha Thearch, he has never allowed anyone or anything to restrain him. He follows his temperament and acts accordingly. This is the highest form of enlightenment. To be leisurely and carefree beats everything else. Our generation has been trapped by the matters of this world, fighting for fame, craving for alcohol and women; we are so far away from where the Buddha Thearch is currently at. I wonder when our generation would be able to stop pursuing the material things of this world and reach the realm of desiring and wanting for nothing...”

“Young Master She is absolutely right!”

“Young Master Fei has indeed understood zen dao. I agree with you!”

“...”

After She Fei had finished speaking, countless young masters and young mistresses chimed in their praise and agreement with what he had said. She Fei hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks and was subtlety looking towards Yi Chan. He appeared as if he wanted to see if she had been moved by his speech about zen dao that he had meticulously prepared.

“Pfff!”

Jiang Yi was drinking his tea at the moment and—after hearing the nonsense that She Fei was spewing and his expression—couldn’t resist but spat the tea out.

Was She Fei joking? In order to please Yi Chan, he even made a fool of himself in front of Yi Chan who had spent her life since elementary school learning about zen. Wouldn’t this make Yi Chan hate him even more? Guys and girls in love indeed had zero EQ.

However, Jiang Yi’s spitting of the tea had caused trouble. Many eyes suddenly looked at him. Jiang Yi realized that Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, Ling Shiya, Zhan Tianlei, and company were all looking at him. She Fei also had a murderous aura; Jiang Yi felt that things were about to go south.
