When Chu Ning reached Huang Fei's table, he toasted everyone respectfully before individually toasting Huang Fei as well.
"Brother Huang, thank you for your care, I'll drink this cup first as a token of respect."
That Chu Ning referred to Huang Fei as Brother Huang instead of Senior Huang wasn't a matter of influence, but because within the circle of cultivators it was customary that unless one had a direct master-disciple relationship within their sect, seniority was determined by one's cultivation realm.
Chu Ning was now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he and Huang Fei were of the same generation.
"There's no need for such formality, Junior Brother Chu."
Huang Fei certainly didn't dare to let Chu Ning drink first, almost lifting his cup simultaneously, and even finishing a moment ahead of Chu Ning.
Outside the Miaoyin Pavilion.
A few Energy Condensation Mid Stage young men and women looked enviously towards the door.
