These days, the Old Soldier had been feeling quite lost and directionless.
Ever since discovering that Su Yanjin was actually a super-powerful expert, the Old Soldier's mind had been in a constant state of buzz.
Thinking back to how he used to call Su Yanjin "little brother" sent shivers down his spine now.
Having just finished his meal and returned home, the Old Soldier sat in front of his house, lost in thought.
"State Master?"
While daydreaming, the Old Soldier spotted Xiang Tiannan, with Jiang Cheng following behind him.
"I must be hallucinating now, why would the State Master come to my place?"
The Old Soldier muttered to himself, rubbing his eyes.
Then, he looked again.
He jumped up from his doorstep immediately.
"State Master, it really is the State Master."
The Old Soldier was completely shocked. The two people approaching were indeed State Master Xiang Tiannan and Deputy State Master Jiang Cheng.
Behind them were numerous well-known powerful experts.
These were all people the Old Soldier had seen before.
"W-w-what is this about?"
The Old Soldier, seeing the magnificent procession, hurriedly tried to kneel to welcome the State Master.
However, just as he began to bow his head, State Master Xiang Tiannan caught and supported him.
"Old Wang, you absolutely must not kneel to me."
Xiang Tiannan said with a smile while supporting the Old Soldier, helping him walk into the courtyard.
With a wave of his hand, the powerful experts behind him brought forward various spiritual dishes and fine wines.
In an instant, everything was laid out in the courtyard.
"State Master, this is...?"
The Old Soldier looked at Xiang Tiannan with confusion.
From the looks of it, it seemed like they were preparing to host someone for a meal.
"Old Wang, you've worked hard guarding the city gate all these years."
"This feast is presented to you on behalf of the Star Immortal State."
Deputy State Master Jiang Cheng explained.
The Old Soldier was led to his seat by Deputy State Master Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng even raised a cup of wine in toast to the Old Soldier.
The Old Soldier, overwhelmed by the honor, hurriedly raised his own cup in response.
In the streets around the Old Soldier's home, countless cultivators had gathered.
They all knew the Old Soldier well - he had spent his entire life guarding the city gate, but due to limited talent, he was still only an Earth Immortal.
Yet now, both the State Master and Deputy State Master had come in person.
And they seemed to be hosting a feast for the Old Soldier.
Instantly, the entire street erupted in excitement.
The crowd that gathered outside the Old Soldier's house swelled like a tide.
"Holy cow, the State Master and Deputy State Master are actually toasting to him?"
"My goodness!"
"This is really something big!"
Exclamations rang out as everyone's faces showed intense admiration.
Those were the State Master and Deputy State Master - the most powerful figures in the entire Star Immortal State.
Inside the small courtyard.
After the toast, Xiang Tiannan finally revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Old Wang, I hear you have a good relationship with Brother Su."
"I want to invite Brother Su to serve as Deputy State Master of our Star Immortal State, but he keeps refusing. So I was hoping you could help persuade him."
"Please help us with this favor."
After speaking, Xiang Tiannan raised his cup again to toast the Old Soldier.
"This..."
Upon hearing State Master Xiang Tiannan's words, the Old Soldier had started to raise his cup for the toast but stopped halfway.
He quickly stood up and respectfully said to Xiang Tiannan: "State Master, Su Yanjin and I are just on friendly terms, nothing more."
"Before, I only looked after him a bit because I saw him as a naive young man, just sharing some resources with him."
"My relationship with Su Yanjin isn't as close as you imagine."
"I cannot persuade Su Yanjin, it's beyond my ability."
The Old Soldier said solemnly.
How could he possibly influence Su Yanjin?
After speaking, he attempted to apologize to Xiang Tiannan.
After all, Xiang Tiannan had hosted this feast only because he thought the Old Soldier was close to Su Yanjin.
