Seeing the atmosphere become slightly tense, Chen Yuan, who had been silent thus far, spoke: "Sect Leader Qiao is correct. Since we are all Xuanmen Sect Disciples, there is no need to differentiate between closeness or distance. Sect Leader He, do you not agree?"
He Yizhu could not discern what Chen Yuan's intentions truly were, but at this point, it was inappropriate to continue to haggle, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "Sect Leader Chen makes a valid point."
Sect Leader Qiao laughed heartily, and the displeasure that had been on his face vanished. He said, "It's rare for us masters of the Four Great Sects to gather here. We should enjoy a good drink together, and leave aside any trivial matters. Everyone, please join me at the table."
While the crowd drank and feasted, Ancestor Hui Xuan and Daoist Ji had already arrived outside the Southwest Dragon Pillar.
