Chapter 180 – Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p

<hr>

The Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p .

This was a grand and magnificent ceremony created to honor the royal family’s first ancestor, who managed to successfully incarnate into a flood dragon . The royal family’s direct lineage, their branch families and all other bloodline descendants were required to appear in full and splendid regalia . Today, all slaughter was forbidden and only an auspicious peace was allowed . The smell of blood was not allowed anywhere within the vicinity of the capital city, otherwise this would be considered a great crime, an affront to the ancestors .

Several days ago, the royal palace had already started cleaning . All of the palace maids bustled endlessly about, all of them trying their best to ensure that the Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p Ceremony would be carried out flawlessly . At the same time, guards were dispatched throughout the capital city to maintain stability .

In truth, this was only as a final emergency measure . The sea races didn’t have too many strict laws and regulations, thus the Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p that occurred once every ten years had already taken root in the hearts of the people . Everybody was well aware of how much importance the royal family placed on this ceremony . In particular, the old bag of bones known as the Council of Elders . If anyone even thought of interfering with the Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p Ceremony, they would definitely go insane .

“It’s clear why Leon and the Qing Family lady were attacked . If one isn’t blind, it's obvious who planned all of this . ” Turtle Origin coldly sneered . “It seems that someone really desires to kill Qin Yu . ”

The Sea Sovereign sat back in his dragon throne . He lightly said, “Soon, the Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p will arrive . ”

The old turtle nodded, his face darkening . “Your Majesty has also thought of this . This is exactly what I was worried about . ”

The Sea Sovereign frowned . “Does mister believe that Qin Yu will do something at this time?”

The old turtle thought back to how he had first taken Qin Yu because he had wanted to go back and check on his friend’s situation and sighed . “He’s a smart boy . It’s not difficult to see that this is a trap . But, that is another matter altogether . Qin Yu that human brat, while his actions are a bit reckless and rascally, he is someone who places a heavy emphasis on friends.h.i.+p . ”

With a single phrase of heavy friends.h.i.+p, that was enough to indicate his thoughts . And as for whether or not Qin Yu was aware that Leon and Qingqing had been attacked, neither Turtle Origin nor the Sea Sovereign mentioned it .

Since the Whale Sovereign used such shameless methods without any regard for face, how could he not inform Qin Yu as soon as possible? And that person definitely had this strength . Even if Qin Yu was strictly being held captive in the royal palace, they didn’t doubt this .

This was a low and basely method, but at the same time it was an honest and open plot . Even if one realized it was a trap, it was difficult to think of a solution .

The Whale Sovereign was surely confident to achieve his goal and have Qin Yu make a move on the Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p .

The old turtle stood up . “I will warn him . Even if he wants to take revenge, he cannot do it all at once . ” He hurried out . However, in his heart, he didn’t have much confidence in his words .

After a moment, while under house arrest, Qin Yu had a calm expression . Turtle Origin tentatively asked some questions, but what his watertight questions received in response was something that appeared to be a little happy smile .

This happy expression left the old turtle scared silly . He was too bothered to cover up anything anymore and deeply said, “Qin Yu, you may continue to consider your marriage with Princess Lushy, but I came here to tell you that no matter what it is you know, you cannot be impulsive . In another two days, it will be the royal family’s Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p . The entire royal family must gather together, and this is the most sacred and dignified of all ceremonies . If someone were to disturb the ceremony, it would be the greatest provocation to them . It is an inexcusable crime!”

This was no longer just a warning . It was openly placing everything on the table .

Qin Yu was silent for several breaths of time . “I thank senior for the good intentions . I understand . ”

His expression was earnest and his manner was sincere; he clearly seemed to show some grat.i.tude and he also seemed to relax a little . But, once the old turtle left the hall, he was still unsure in his heart . He sighed . Without saying anything else, he gathered all of Soupman’s forces .

On the Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p, this place would become the most strictly guarded area in the entire royal palace! Not even a single fly could hope to escape!

The pa.s.sing of time was an eternal truth, one that continued unimpeded by any strength . The Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p continued as planned . A giant altar was laid out . It was solemn and respectful, and atop the purple jade plates, countless rare and precious treasures were displayed, each of them a sign of veneration towards their exalted ancestor . The entire royal family bloodline gathered here today . Some had even arrived from hundreds of thousands of miles away . This was because this ceremony was not just to pay tribute to their ancestors, but also as a means to display one’s status within the royal family .

Starting from the altar, people were lined up orderly in divisions, each one representing your status within the royal family . The further away one was, the less important they were . If one were absent from this vast Day of Ancestral Wors.h.i.+p, that would often represent one’s expulsion and fall .

Thus, it was not difficult to understand why several deathly ill royal family members would come here even if they were lifted on stretchers . They all struggled to ensure they came .

Princess Lushy was also here, and her position was at the front . This wasn’t because the Sea Sovereign preferred this daughter of his . Rather, it was because she possessed a formidable cultivation talent and an outstanding bloodline . Otherwise, did anyone really think that just because she was born a little bit beautiful, she would be called the most dazzling and beautiful pearl in the sea? It was impossible to be so naïve .

At this moment, feeling the solemn and dignified atmosphere, her expression was earnest . She silently prayed to her ancestors, hoping that they could bless her life after marriage with joy and happiness .

That was right . Even up until now, Princess Lushy didn’t know that she had been refused already . She had already thought about her wedding and marriage more than once .

To join together with a human, that was a completely unprecedented event within the royal family . It could even be said that this would affect her inheriting the power of authority in the future .

But the princess did not regret .

She remembered what her mother had once told her as a child . For a woman, their most important task was to find a husband that they liked in the future, so that they could live a happy and enjoyable life . Otherwise, no matter how much they gained from it, they would only be living in a void of sorrow and despair, fading away bit by bit with every pa.s.sing day .

Princess Lushy knew that her mother didn’t love her father . She had witnessed her mother’s loneliness and depressed life, and she didn’t want to live like that .
