Chu Xingchen's expression was relatively calm, but his right hand had already begun to feel the edge of the table in front of him.
He had thought that after the arrogant display would come passionate and profound mutual insults.
Afterward, Tianyan Sect would lead the attending sects to put pressure on Xuanqing Tianzong.
But after everyone took their seats, they suddenly started looking to the future and began making pleasantries.
How the stability of Central Continent depended on everyone, and how cultivation required a balanced and peaceful approach.
Basically, it was all a load of nonsense.
After the Xuanqing Tianzong Sect Master finished his speech, it was Lu Xuan's turn to speak.
He had expected Lu Xuan to make sarcastic remarks, or at worst, use subtle metaphors to ruthlessly dent the prestige of Xuanqing Tianzong. But what he said was also just pleasantries.
The most infuriating thing was that after Lu Xuan finished, he thought it was over, but it turned out that the sects whose Sect Masters had not spoken now had to have their elders give speeches.
It was truly a case of 'since it's not my time being wasted, why not spout nonsense?'
Chu Xingchen had sat for a while and listened to a while of nonsense.
She glanced to the side and saw that Bai Xuanling's expression was particularly calm, as if she was very familiar with this kind of nonsense.
This was rather surprising. She had thought Bai Xuanling's tolerance for such nonsense was low, but it turned out to be exceptionally high.
Even Yanyun looked a little uncomfortable.
Chu Xingchen glanced at the somewhat distant Yuyang Daozi, but this man simply lowered his head to meditate, not listening to the nonsense at all.
As for Ye Antao, she had started to close her eyes and rest.
Chu Xingchen sent a message to Bai Xuanling via divine sense: "How much longer is this going to take?"
Bai Xuanling looked at Chu Xingchen, and after seeming to listen seriously to the current content for a moment, he replied via divine sense: "It's still early. This should just be the beginning. I'm also tired of hearing this. Do you have an idea?"
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen simply stood up abruptly.
The speech of the Haotian Palace elder who was currently speaking was instantly interrupted. Everyone's gaze turned to the suddenly standing Chu Xingchen.
Facing the gazes, Chu Xingchen said calmly, "I need to use the restroom."
After speaking, he turned and walked away without a second thought.
Bai Xuanling's expression remained calm as he gave a slight nod, as if agreeing with Chu Xingchen's ridiculous excuse.
Not to mention that after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one could practice fasting and no longer needed to eat, but even if they did, there would be no need for 'using the restroom.'
Ye Antao, startled by the sudden silence, came back to his senses. He looked at Chu Xingchen in astonishment.
He saw Chu Xingchen strolling leisurely towards the outside. As he passed by Taidao Sect, he cast a leisurely glance at someone.
Chu Xingchen looked at Yuyang Daozi and asked, "Brother, want to come along?"
Faced with the sudden question, Yuyang Daozi froze for a moment, looking at Chu Xingchen's slightly raised eyebrow.
Ye Antao's expression was strange—isn't this just asking for trouble? There's no way Yuyang Daozi would...
"Alright."
Yuyang Daozi stood up, took two steps forward, then cupped his hands and said, "My apologies, I'll be back shortly."
Chu Xingchen was satisfied with his eyebrow raise and then followed Yuyang Daozi out of the hall.
The two figures were relatively close, seemingly talking.
Faintly, it seemed Chu Xingchen said something—'grassbag' or the like.
Afterward, Yuyang Daozi glanced slightly at Xu Jin, who was still in the hall.
Ye Antao was puzzled—Could it be that the thought processes of top geniuses are just this strange?
But before she could figure out what was happening, she saw Yanyun from Tianyan Sect suddenly stand up as well.
Ye Antao's eyes widened—You need to use the restroom too?
