Today, the Dong Residence was abnormally lively. Knowing that the Dong Residence was going to hold a celebration banquet for the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, the various great clans of Songcheng came over one after another to offer their congratulations. This put Dong Bo Tong in a difficult position. According to Li Xun and the others' intentions, it was just that the people of the Dong Clan and the people of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect were having a good time. However, word of this leaked out among the servants. Even if he was unwilling, he could not offend the masses. After discussing with Li Xun and the others, Dong Bo Tong instructed the butler to set up a banquet.
”His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived.” At this moment, the atmosphere in the Dong Residence was extremely lively. The crown prince of Pine Flower Country, Li Ting, had also arrived.
As a neighbouring country of the Heavenly Mountain, the Pine Flower Country had always been trying to rope the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect in. For hundreds of years, they had never given up. Now that they had the opportunity, they would not let it go.
At the main table, Dong Bo Tong looked at Elder Gu when he heard that the Crown Prince had arrived. However, he didn't have any intention of welcoming him. He knew a little about this, so he went alone to greet them.
The Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect protected Heavenly Mountain Country from the very beginning. After thousands of years, they would never accept the coaxing of other countries. This time, the six disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect displayed incredible strength. Their performance on this continent would spread very quickly, and the reputation of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect would definitely reach its peak in a short amount of time. A large number of people would definitely send their children to the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. Of course, the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect would definitely not accept all of them either.
On this continent, there were a total of three great sects. The Dong Ting Sword Sect in the east, the Highlands Sword Sect in the west, and the Northern Sea Sword Sect in the north, had all been established for more than three thousand years. In the south, there was no Supreme Sword Sect, but from the looks of it, Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect had just revealed their prowess.
Under Dong Bo Tong's guidance, Li Ting arrived at the main table.
”Everyone, on behalf of my royal father, I have come to congratulate the Heaven Mountain Sword Sect on their proud results this time. We know the rules of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. The congratulatory gift is a jar of 'Spirit Spring Dew' that my royal father has treasured for more than twenty years. Li Ting had a heroic expression, and his tone was rather straightforward, causing others to be embarrassed to not accept his good intentions.
”In that case, on behalf of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, I thank the Prince for his good intentions. The position of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect will never change, I hope that Your Highness will understand.” Elder Gu said with a serious face.
”You must be Elder Gu. I, Li Ting, have only come here today to congratulate you. I will not mention anything inappropriate.” ”I'll do it first as a form of respect.” Li Tong picked up a cup of Spirit Spring Dew and downed it in one gulp. The maidservants she brought along also placed cups of Spirit Spring Dew in the hands of everyone at the main table.
After Li Ting took his seat, Dong Bo Tong started introducing Li Xun and the others to him. Li Ting was a good talker, and the awkward atmosphere around him was eased with just a few words. When they found out that Li Xun and Qin Qing were husband and wife, they were greatly shocked. They complained endlessly about not being able to drink their wedding wine, causing both Li Xun and Qin Qing to feel helpless. However, Li Xun had a good impression of Li Ting. He noticed that Li Ting had never once shown mercy to Qin Qing. This was extremely rare for an eighteen year old boy like him.
”Husband, we will be returning to the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect tomorrow. Before we go, I want to see Qian Jue.” Today, Li Xun and the others were completely exhausted. Those who came to congratulate them continuously came to toast. Fortunately, Cheng Kun was there, so Li Xun and Qin Qing used this reason to come to the back garden to get some fresh air.
”Well, actually, I like her quite a bit too, although she always treats me badly. But we'd better wait until tonight, or we'll be in trouble. ”
Returning to the banquet, Li Xun and Qin Qing were astounded to discover that Li Ting was already helping the people from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect to block the wine. They couldn't help but look at each other and smile. Li Xun could tell that even though the Crown Prince of Pine Flower Country was young, he was rather popular. He could tell from the unpretentious looks and respect of the people who drank with him. Looks like this Li Ting is an important figure.
That night, Li Xun and Qin Qing arrived at the Thousand Jade Temple.
This time, Qian Jue was accompanied out by a middle-aged man who was sitting on a wheelchair.
”Elder sister, why did you come to see me so late?” Xiao Qian Jue ran to Qin Qing's side.
”Big sister misses you, isn't it good to come and see you?”
”Hehe, I miss sister too. That's right, big sister. Jue'er congratulates you. ”
”Jue'er, aren't you going to introduce him to Father?” The middle-aged man interrupted Qian Jue's words.
”Ah!” I almost forgot, hee hee. Elder sister, this is my father. Father, this is big sister Qin Qing. She is big sister Qin Qing's husband. ”
Li Xun was slightly embarrassed, he didn't even give him a name as he smiled and said, ”Uncle, hello. I'm Li Xun.”
