The banquet was arranged by Cheng Dongliang, who chose a clubhouse by the river for the location—the clubhouse was named Jiangtan Clubhouse.
Cheng Dongliang booked the entire clubhouse, so today, Jiangtan Clubhouse would only serve Li Xiaoyao and his few companions.
The banquet table was set up in the clubhouse's sky garden, and from there, one could clearly see the waves of the river coming in the distance.
Exquisite dishes filled the round table, with a glass of wine placed in front of each person.
Cheng Dongliang raised his glass and said, "Come, let's drink up."
There were but four people at the wine table.
Cheng Dongliang, Li Xiaoyao, Master Wu, and Mister Ling.
All four raised their glasses and emptied the wine in one go. Shortly after, Master Wu began to speak.
"Li boy, I see your foundation is average, and your cultivation level is average. If you wish to become powerful, without the guidance of a master, it is impossible."
