Peerless Taoist

This kind of thing could be used as a trump card. It could also be considered an unintentional gain.    

"In that case, the Buddha World should be opened once again. I wonder how Monkey is doing now?"    

Lu Yu thought of that damned monkey. After thinking for a moment, he broke the thought in his mind.    

This monkey had survived from the ancient era until now. It had completely become an old monster.    

When he was by Lu Yu's side, he had schemed against Lu Yu countless times. It was extremely detestable.    

However, although this monkey wasn't reliable, it had also given Lu Yu a lot of help. The two of them weren't considered friends, but if they were in the same boat, it would still be fine.    

"Esteemed guest, the old master invites you in."    

Outside, the servant respectfully said.    

Today was New Year's Eve, and at night, the family would be reunited.    

The Xiahou family was not in the Imperial Capital, and this was only Xiahou Li's personal residence. Every New Year's Eve, the Xiahou family members would come to this residence and spend the Spring Festival with the patriarch.    

The Imperial Examination was held once every three years, and this year, they happened to catch up. The Xiahou residence had already packed hundreds of guest rooms to accommodate the High Scholars who were rushing to the capital for the imperial examinations.    

Today was a family reunion event, and Lu Yu was welcomed into the main hall.    

At this moment, there were already many people sitting in the main hall, and they all sat down according to the order of their families.    

Generally speaking, the elders sat at the front, but as a cultivation family, they didn't have to follow the formalities. Some of the more powerful young people also sat at the front.    

Lu Yu saw Long Yunshan in the eyes of these people.    

She was chatting with another young man from the Xiahou Family. The two of them were holding wine glasses and chatting happily.    

At this time, more and more people arrived. Lu Yu's appearance did not attract the attention of others.    

"I'll find a place myself." Lu Yu said faintly.    

After all, this was the family feast of Xiahou Manor. As an outsider, he could act as a spectator.    

The servant smiled and said, "The old master has already arranged a seat for you. Why don't you follow the old master's arrangement? If not, the steward will have to scold me again."    

Lu Yu asked, "Where is Master Hou?"    

"The old master went to the Ministry of War this morning to do some work. He will be back in a while." The servant said respectfully.    

Xiahou Li had been given the title of Marquis, and he held more power. He had to deal with a lot of work every day, and even during the New Year, he had to complete some tasks before coming back.    

Lu Yu nodded to show that he understood.    

He did not plan to make things difficult for this servant. Since he was in Xiahou Manor, he would just follow the arrangement of the main family.    

"Esteemed guest, please!" The servant guided Lu Yu.    

He did not expect that he would lead the way in front and actually lead Lu Yu to the seat next to the main seat, which was parallel to the main seat!    

This was the center of the main hall. In the past, only Xiahou Li had the right to sit here.    

Now that there was a chair here, it was already puzzling.    

Many of the Xiahou family disciples were still wondering who had done it when they had just arrived.    

Some guessed that it was a big shot in the army, while others guessed that it might be an expert.    

But no one had expected that the person who had walked up was a young man like Lu Yu!    

In an instant, the originally noisy sound in the main hall immediately quieted down.    

Countless eyes were focused on Lu Yu.    

"You servant, what are you doing? Why did you bring the wrong person? Are you trying to embarrass this brother of yours?" Someone scolded.
