Everyone once again found themselves enveloped in an awkward silence.
Thankfully, it wasn't long before Elder Zhu Yun quickly smoothed things over, "Old Li has always been inept with words. Let's not take it personally and just ignore it."
"Elder Zhao, Elder Mei, and Xiao Xiao, please, come this way! I'll host a banquet to welcome and refresh you all."
The unpleasantness brought by Li Qi was swiftly set aside as the people from the Great Tang Ruins were led into Azure Sky City by Elder Zhu Yun.
The city had long since prepared a feast to treat its guests.
At the feast, Xiao Mu was once again seated at the head of the table, alongside Zhu Yun, Mei Jun, Zhao Xu, Task Group Leader Wu Yan, and two other early Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses sent by the Great Tang Ruins.
Elder Zhu Yun was congenial and adept at conversation, soon bringing the banquet to life with laughter and jovial talk.
Before long, the attention of the gathering shifted back to Xiao Mu.
