547 Grand Ceremony! (1/2)
Bang!
Big Bear shouted in an uncanny sound as he was sent flying like a rocket. He then crashed into the chair he had originally been sitting on. It must be mentioned that he had been trapped in the World Cage when he was kicked out. Therefore, he hadn't had any means to offload the momentum of his fall. Consequently, his fall was rather severe, and he was left to feel dizzy.
Mei Xue Yan's face had turned red, and her eyes were radiating with the splendor of anger.
”This guy genuinely doesn't know how to talk! What's the difference between sleeping in the same bed, and getting into the same blankets? Isn't this nonsense? It would be weird if Elder Sister and Brother-in-law didn't get into same bed… Aaah…” Earth Cracker had started to stroke his whiskers while rejoicing in Big Bear's misfortune. His mouth was still filled with the balmy fragrance of the pill. He had been shaking his head whilst thinking that he was still succeeding in flattering his elder sister. In fact, his expressions made it seem like he was very pleased with himself.
However, he hadn't realized that his flattery hadn't deviated very far from what had gotten Big Bear a beating…
It could be said that Big Bear had failed in buttering his elder sister. And, he had received a kick-back from the horse instead. However, Earth Cracker had tried to add oil to the fire. But, his attempt had instead attracted the raging fire onto his own body…
Therefore, his 'have the Old Bear beaten up to save the Old Tiger' policy failed this time. And, the two brothers ended-up in the same place as a result.
”You also get lost! World Cage!” Mei Xue Yan was extremely agitated.
”Bang Bang!”
Earth Cracker let out a miserable shriek as his throat was half-chocked from the back. His limbs seemingly started to dance as he was sent flying in the air. He soared into the clouds whilst riding on the mist. His head knocked against the Elegant Fragrance Courtyard's door. However, he knocked down the gate, and continued to fly outwards. Then, he eventually knocked against the opposite wall, and bounced back. His mind had spiraled into a state of confusion, and he felt as if he was seeing stars in front of his eyes. In fact, he felt as if he was seeing the entire galaxy. He shook his head in confusion as he fell headlong on ground… It must be said that his condition was far worse than Big Bear's…
Mei Xue Yan furiously brushed her sleeves, and returned to her room.
Jun Mo Xie touched his nose. [I can't take any more advantages since I have no excuse. Plus, this isn't looking good right now. After all, there's a chance that this 'World Cage' will fall on my head next.] Therefore, he decided to leave.
The Snake King watched Jun Mo Xie's back profile as he walked away. The expressions in her eyes underwent a minute fluctuation as she let out a soft sigh. There was a faint hint of sadness in her sigh…
The Jun Family finally held the grand adoption ceremony two days later. It must be said that they had been preparing for this ceremony for a while now.
The ceremony meant for adopting a daughter wasn't something one would invite so many people over on normal days. Moreover, it wasn't even Old Man Jun Zhan Tian who was adopting a daughter. Instead, it was Jun Wu Yi. Therefore, such a great fanfare seemed somewhat strange.
However, Guan Qing Han's status had become very sensitive in the society. Moreover, the chaos caused by those rotten scholars had made things worse. Therefore, these events had led the Jun Family to conduct this adoption ceremony at a scale which could be considered at par with the founding ceremony of a country!
It could be said that these many influential people hadn't arrived even when Tian Xiang was founded as a country!
The Emperor and Empress came from the Royal Family's side; even the three princes and the princess also arrived in-person to congratulate the Jun Family. The lords of every powerful family in the capital had also arrived for this ceremony. Numerous officials and officers had also arrived from all over the country…
Moreover, various influential Xuan Families also showed up!
Situ Family, Sikong Family, Baili Family, Duanmu Family… The Master of Ceremonies gradually announced the names of these famous personalities. And, the people in the crowd could only exclaim… It must be mentioned that these people weren't celebrated officials in the secular world. But, all of them were renowned and legendary personalities nonetheless. Moreover, these people had shown-up from all over the country for something as trivial as an adoption ceremony wherein Jun Family's Jun Wu Yi was accepting a daughter. What did this mean? And, what did this indicate?!
Suddenly, there was uproar in the crowd…
”Master Feng Juan Yun has arrived here to congratulate the Third General Jun for adopting the Young Lady Guan as his daughter!” Song Shang had been entrusted role of the Master of Ceremonies. He was a Sky Xuan peak expert. However, his usually calm voice had somewhat shivered as he announced this. After all, Feng Juan Yun was a legendary man. Moreover, he had been newly appointed as the Eighth Great Master. However, even he had arrived here in person…
The hall suddenly fell silent!
Everyone in the crowd saw that a man dressed in black robes walked in. He looked like an unsheathed sharp sword, and he had a cold and detached expression on his face. His face was outlined with smooth and strong lines, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. In fact, people felt as if a sharp sword was piercing them even if he merely gazed towards their direction!
Feng Juan Yun!
Jun Wu Yi was pleasantly surprised by this. And, he personally came out to welcome him. The words that Feng Juan Yun had spoken to him on that day when he was in a desperate situation were still ringing in his ears —'Jun Wu Yi! We will drink wine and talk freely if you survive this day! I — Feng Juan Yun — see your tragedy and helplessness. I wish good fortune to the Jun Family for the days to come. But, I must bid my goodbye for now!'
These were the most touching words that Jun Wu Yi had heard before the battle.
