Chapter 334: The Target is the Night Demon 【10,000 Words】 (Part 1)

Seeing that Feng Yun was actually going to call, Yan Beihan immediately raised her hand in surrender, "Oh... Don't take it seriously. If you keep calling, we won't even have time to eat."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Feng Yun laughed heartily, "Xiao Han, I have to say, ever since you joined our younger generation, everyone's stuttering has increased significantly, all because of your unique way of calling people."

"Hahahaha..."

The six hundred people roared with laughter.

Feng Yun's words were truly witty.

Yan Beihan was also laughing so hard that her body trembled, "Feng Yun, your mouth is so sharp, I'll have to pay your family a visit one of these days."

"Please don't..."

Feng Yun's expression changed, and he quickly begged for mercy.

If Yan Beihan were to go and report this, even with Feng Yun's high status among the younger generation, he wouldn't escape a beating.

After the commotion, Yan Beihan finally spoke, "I don't know the reason, but Father said it's been a while since we gathered, so we're having a get-together at my place. He specifically instructed us to drink more and have a lively time."

Feng Yun's eyes flashed, and he smiled faintly, "Since that's the case, we should let loose today."

Others like Feng Xue, Feng Yue, Feng Xing, Chen Yun, Bai Ye, and Wu Di also seemed to be deep in thought.

Chen Yin's gaze lowered as he looked into his cup, his expression unchanged.

Among the six hundred people, almost five hundred of them were secretly focused and attentive.

This... It felt like a test of some sort.

Then, the younger generation began to drink freely. Everyone seemed to be in high spirits, but at first, they were cautious about their alcohol tolerance, and no one dared to truly let loose.

The wine served at the Yan family gathering was not ordinary.

It was specially brewed by the Only Righteous Sect, made from spiritual plants, fruits, and objects. Even for those with advanced cultivation, drinking too much could still lead to intoxication.

However, there were too many young people, and after downing over a dozen cups each, the alcohol began to take effect.

So, some people started to stir up trouble.

Some started to look at others with disdain, some formed cliques, and others began to instigate...

The instigator was Chen Yin.

Chen Yin was well aware that this was a test, but how could he reveal his true nature without getting drunk?

He quickly weighed his options in his mind.

The first person to stand up and cause trouble would undoubtedly attract attention. But if he followed up and created chaos, it would be seen as understanding the elders' intentions, making it easier for them to observe and earn their favor.

There was an advantage to this!

So, he took the initiative to stand up, offering a toast to Wu Qing across from him, and with a hint of disdain, he drank it all in one go and asked, "Hey... Wu Qing, do you dare to drink?"

Wu Qing was furious, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

He raised his cup and drank it all, then started to return the favor.

The two of them began to compete.

Then, Chen Yin's younger brothers started causing trouble for Wu Qing's group, forcing each other to drink.

Once this started, others followed suit.

However, no one noticed that Chen Yin, who had initiated the chaos, became low-key again, speaking quietly to the person next to him, appearing very considerate. Wu Qing continued to provoke and shout, but Chen Yin paid him no mind.

Yan Beihan's eyes flashed thoughtfully, and she glanced at Chen Yin from the corner of her eye.

In her heart, she thought, "He's indeed an old silver coin!"

Ignoring the chaos, she began to whisper with her two best friends.

Some of the girls joined the fray, some cheered, and some observed quietly.

They were looking for potential suitors or checking out the marriage partners chosen by their elders...

When men start drinking and their enthusiasm rises, most girls tend to keep their distance.

...

Feng Yun and the others sat calmly, drinking and chatting leisurely, staying out of the chaos.

But just because he wasn't participating didn't mean others wouldn't approach him.

The eldest of the Chen family, Chen Yun, coughed and stood up with a cup in hand, "Big Brother Feng, it's been a while since we last drank together."

As soon as he stood up, many eyes followed him.

Something was up!

"Oh?"

Feng Yun turned to look at Chen Yun, a slight smile curving his lips, but he said nothing.

Feng Yue smiled slightly from the side, "Chen Yun, do you want to drink with Big Brother?"

Chen Yun laughed, "I was just about to get cozy with Big Brother."

"When drinking with Big Brother, you should hold your cup higher."

Feng Yue said calmly, "Holding it so high, are you expecting Big Brother to lower his cup to meet yours?"

Chen Yun smiled, "Third Brother, what are you saying? I'm standing up to offer a toast. Of course, I'll lower my cup when we clink, I know the etiquette."

Feng Yue narrowed her eyes, "Since you understand the rules so well, let's drink together."

The scene became chaotic.

Everyone realized that Chen Yun wanted to drink with Feng Yun as equals, clinking cups and taking a sip. The main point was to emphasize their equal status.

As long as Feng Yun stood up and clinked cups, Chen Yun would have achieved half of his goal: Big Brother acknowledges my status.

However, Feng Yun remained seated and didn't respond.

Instead, Feng Yue directly confronted him, not giving him a chance.

Chen Yun was the leader of a small team, while Feng Yun was the leader of everyone. Chen Yun's intentions were not hard to guess, and everyone could see through them.

Chen Yin took a sip of wine from his seat, his black hair falling over his eyes.

Regarding his eldest brother, he had nothing to say. Although his scheming and tactics weren't particularly brilliant, he lacked nothing in that regard. However, he took victory and defeat very seriously.

Even if you don't speak up in this situation, who would dare to underestimate you? But if you take the lead and become the target, every action will be scrutinized. Moreover, you've picked the wrong person to challenge. How can you prove your status by challenging Feng Yun? It's only natural that you'll be harshly suppressed.

Now that Feng Yue has stood up to drink with you, if you refuse, you'll be disrespecting Feng Yun.

If you drink it, your status will be the same as Feng Yue. And Feng Yue is only the third eldest in the Feng family's younger generation. So you have even less right to compete with Feng Yun.

How foolish.

Chen Yun's heart raced with urgent thoughts. It seemed that the two families were about to clash. What should I do?

As expected, Chen Xue, who was sitting next to Yan Beihan, frowned and said, "Feng Yue, my eldest brother just wants to have a drink with Feng Yun. Do you have to be so unaccommodating?"

As soon as she spoke, Yan Beihan glanced at her subtly.

She slightly furrowed her brows.

Why are you, a woman, getting involved in men's affairs? Moreover, by speaking up, you're giving others the opportunity to do the same, and this chaos will obviously start from you.

As expected, on the other side, Feng Xue, the eldest daughter, smiled and said, "Chen Xue is right. We are sisters from the same mother."

Suddenly, the other members of the two families began to argue.

Immediately after, the subordinates started a well-coordinated confrontation, with soldiers facing soldiers and generals facing generals.

The scene became chaotic to a certain extent.

...

Amidst the chaos of the two factions, the main protagonist, Feng Yun, remained calm and unmoved. He even had the leisure to wink and smile at Yan Beihan.

Yan Beihan hummed and turned away, choosing to talk to Bi Yunyan instead, clearly indicating her intention to stay out of the matter.

Chen Yun held his cup but didn't drink, while Feng Yue persistently urged him to drink, but Chen Yun repeatedly shook his head.

However, Bi Feng, from the Bi family, stood up and said, "Chen Yun, I'll drink with you."

A subtle situation arose: Feng Yun's family patriarch, Feng Du, was the First Vice Sect Leader, while Bi Feng's family patriarch, Bi Changhong, was the Third Vice Sect Leader, and Chen Yun's family patriarch, Chen Gu, was the Fourth Vice Sect Leader.

But among the younger generation, especially at tonight's gathering, Chen Yun was seated above Bi Feng.

This was a delicate matter, so Bi Feng was eager to reclaim his position.

Chen Yun suddenly found himself under attack from both sides.

However, he didn't back down and began to counterattack.

Feng Yun watched this scene with amusement, as if it had nothing to do with him. He raised his voice and said, "Little Brother Chen Yun, come and have a drink with me."

The noisy crowd suddenly froze.

Chen Yun's expression turned bitter.

He knew he couldn't escape.

But as the eldest among the younger generation, he had to comply. With a bitter expression, he picked up his cup and walked over, clinking cups with Feng Yun and downing the drink.

Feng Yun also tilted his head back and drank.

With a smile, he said, "Your Chen family still has talented individuals. Little Brother Chen Yun, you're quite impressive. Your mind is sharp and flexible."

He paused and continued, "So I specifically want to have a drink with you."

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear him.

This statement erased Chen Yun's initial initiative to stand up, and it also stirred up trouble within the Chen family. It further implied: You have too many schemes, even calculating your own family.

It was a direct attack on his character.

Chen Yun's expression grew bitter, and he pleaded, "I'm just following my eldest brother to gain some experience... Brother Feng, please don't make things difficult for me. I can't handle it."

Feng Yun laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you."

Chen Yun's words seemed to show weakness, but they were both defensive and offensive, revealing Feng Yun's sinister intentions.

He managed to distance himself from the situation.

However, the gazes of his eldest brother, Chen Yun, and second eldest brother, Chen Wei, had already turned towards him, their eyes sharp as knives.

Chen Yun's heart sank.

He reluctantly returned to his seat.

Chen Yun's dagger-like gaze fell upon him, and he said coldly, "Third Brother, your eldest brother and the others are drinking. Won't you join them?"

Chen Yun's heart almost desired to slash his eldest brother to the ground.

Others stir up trouble, and you start to react. Where is your usual deep-rooted scheming?

Can't you leave someone in the family to stay out of this?

But he dared not refuse, as this was his own eldest brother. If he refused, his brother could beat him on the spot, and he wouldn't be able to argue back. The reason for the beating was clear: disunity among brothers in front of outsiders.

So, with a determined expression, he stood up, full of youthful vigor, and said, "Big Brother, rest assured! I've always been known as the one who can handle a thousand cups without getting drunk. You take a break, and I'll take care of them!"

Since there was no way out, he might as well go all out.

Chen Yun joined the fray.

The chaos intensified.

Feng Yun watched the chaotic Chen brothers and smiled. He turned and raised his cup, gesturing towards Bai Ye from the Bai family. Bai Ye responded by raising his cup, and without a word, they both drank.

...

As the banquet progressed, the division of camps became increasingly apparent.

Only fifty or sixty people remained unmoved.

These were Ling Kong and the others.

They barely touched their drinks.

Finally, Yan Beihan finished talking with her girlfriends. With bright eyes, she raised her cup and said, "Why are you all idle? Come, let's drink together."

Ling Kong and the others stood up simultaneously and said, "Big Sister is drinking!"

They all drank together.

Yan Beihan laughed and said, "No one is drinking with you. Are you showing off in front of your own brothers?"

She laughed and drank.

On the side, Bi Yunyan smiled slightly and said softly, "A banquet like this stirs up the world."

She raised her delicate hand and covered her face with her sleeve, joining Yan Beihan in a drink.

After Bi Yunyan drank, Ling Kong and the others felt a sudden brightness in their eyes, and the taste of the wine in their mouths became even sweeter. Could it be that Bi Yunyan had joined the big sister's camp? If so, they should celebrate.

After Yan Beihan finished drinking, she cheerfully turned her cup upside down, showing it to everyone, and said with a smile, "Ling Kong, look at these guys. Whoever hasn't finished their drink, pour it out and drink three cups as a penalty."

"Ling Kong immediately jumped up and said, 'From now on, no one is allowed to move their wine glasses. I'll be the one to inspect.'

'I'll drink it in one gulp, you'll see, I, Cao...'

'Fine! Alcohol penalty!'

Suddenly, the entire group became lively.

Over on Chen Yun and the others' side, the commotion was beyond control, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

Yan Beihan, standing aside, smiled at Bi Yunyan, 'Yunyan, isn't it lively?'

Bi Yunyan smiled faintly, 'A banquet, where you can see everything. I just quietly observe, and it's quite interesting.'

Yan Beihan said, 'Yunyan, you're truly calm. Bi Feng over there is blushing, and you don't even go to help.'

Bi Yunyan replied, 'After all, I'm a girl.'

'Chen Xue is also a girl, and she's participating too, isn't she?'

'Different personalities,' Bi Yunyan said lightly. 'I just like watching the show. All the scheming I see, I don't like. But I can watch.'

Yan Beihan smiled slightly, revealing a side of her that was completely different from her usual carefree personality. She said solemnly, 'Since I was young, my grandfather has always told me this, just one word: watch!'

Bi Yunyan smiled, 'That's a good word.'

Yan Beihan glanced at the entire hall with a hint of indifference in her eyes and smiled faintly, 'Indeed, it's a good word. There's an old saying: if you want to give up drinking, watch the drunk people with a clear mind.'

'Haha...'

Bi Yunyan laughed and said softly, 'The petty scheming is truly unbearable to watch.'

The banquet was lively, and it was getting more and more exciting.

...

In a quiet room, Yan Nan, Bi Changhong, Chen Gu, Bai Jing, Yu Hanyan, and Xiang Beidou sat together in silence.

The younger generation's display of scheming during the banquet was like an open book to these old demons.

'Who stands out the most?'

Yan Nan asked.

'Feng Yun, Feng Xing, Yan Beihan, Bai Ye, Wu Di, Chen Yin, Bi Yunyan, Yu Cheng, and Xiang Xin are all quite impressive,' Bi Changhong replied, sighing as he spoke.

The reason for his sigh was that Bi Feng had not impressed him.

However, Chen Gu said, 'Feng Yun and Chen Yin stand out the most.'

Xiang Beidou nodded in agreement, 'Feng Yun is acceptable, but Chen Yin, that kid... has quite some schemes.'

Chen Gu nodded and said, 'Indeed, he has too many schemes.'

Yan Nan nodded and said, 'Little Han's performance is quite impressive.'

The other five old demons looked at each other in surprise.

This old man really favors his granddaughter. He didn't put her first on the list of praises, but he personally stood up to cheer for her.

So, they all nodded and said, 'Little Han is indeed very impressive.'

Yan Nan narrowed her eyes and smiled, 'Well, this farce is almost over. Who's going out?'

The bodies of the other five simultaneously leaned back.

'Your family, of course,' Yan Nan said with a dark expression.

The five laughed simultaneously.

...

In the grand hall, the aroma of wine filled the air, and everyone's voices grew louder.

Some had already started drinking directly from the jars.

They glared at each other, clinked their jars, and tilted their heads back to drink, creating a lively atmosphere.

Just then, a grand and imposing aura suddenly descended, instantly enveloping the entire hall.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, feeling a cool sensation pouring down from the top of their heads. In an instant, their hot-blooded fighting spirit solidified.

Their minds instantly cleared.

The ancestor had arrived.

Everyone snapped back to their original positions.

They all stood straight, looking extremely well-behaved.

The oppressive aura intensified.

A figure appeared on the platform at the front.

It was the current second vice sect leader in charge of the overall work of the Only Righteous Sect, Yan Nan.
