Chapter 142 - Heading to Shi Clan to Bring Up A Marriage Proposal? (2/2)

The wide black door had a width of about 10 meters. Looking from outside, the building was in a purplish color, giving off a very grand feeling. At the two sides of the door, there were tens of guards in grey armor!

“Who goes there? This is the city lord’s residence!” A lean strong man at one end who was about 30 years old stopped Qing Shui and said.

Qing Shui was stunned. He had always thought of the Shi Clan as the Shi Clan, and had forgotten that the Shi Clan was also the city lord’s residence. That was why there were so many guards on standby, no wonder the Shi Clan seemed so impressive.

“Brother, please help me pass a message to say that Qing Clan’s Qing Shui is here to pay his respects to the Shi Clan!” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“You are Qing Clan’s Qing Shui? Please hold on. The young man was also stunned, and then he quickly entered the Shi Clan.

Only then did Qing Shui discovered just how much he had become renowned, at least in Hundred Miles City! Although being renowned could be tiring, reputable people were saved a lot of trouble when they did things.

Very soon, the young man returned. “This way please, the city lord is already awaiting in the lounge!”

Under the young man’s lead, Qing Shui entered the Shi Clan. Once inside, he felt that it was so spacious that it would make one puke. Artificial mountains, ponds, pavilions, statues, there was everything here!

Rows of guards kept passing by, with most of them holding swords. They looked quite impressive, as each of them stood tall and upright. After all, they were working in the name of the city lord. Each of them carried an impressive aura, leading to Qing Shui having the thought to have a look for himself one day to see how impressive the residence of Cang Lang Country’s city lord was as well.

“It’s right ahead, this way please!”

Hearing the young man’s words, Qing Shui raised his head, and realized that they had already reached the entrance to the lounge!

“Brother, please feel free to go back to your work!” Qing Shui smiled and said this before he entered the lounge!

The furniture in the lounge was very simple. In the spacious lounge, there were only some tables and chairs, and at the very top, there was an elongated table. At that moment, there was an old man seated behind it, looking through some scrolls!

Having heard some sounds, the old man raised his head and a pair of bright and intelligent eyes looked at Qing Shui!

When Qing Shui saw the old man, he recognized him as the senior from Shi Clan who was seated at the same table with his grandpa at Qing Zi’s wedding. Therefore, when Qing Shui saw him, he immediately recognized him at one glance as the Old Master of Shi Clan, Shi Dingtian!

“What a rare guest, Qing Shui, I never would have thought that you would come here!” Shi Dingtian seemed exceptionally happy when he saw Qing Shui.

“Old Master, I’m actually here today to discuss an issue with your esteemed self.” Qing Shui bowed at Shi Dingtian in the capacity of a junior.

“I dare not accept this, you are already a Xiantian cultivator, there is no need to follow such customs!” Shi Dingtian quickly said.

There was a saying in the world of the nine continents. Once a person attains Xiantian, only his elders would be able to accept his respects. As for other people, even if they were older than him, so long as they were not Xiantian, they would not be able to accept it. Otherwise their lifespan would be shortened!

Qing Shui knew about all this, but to a person who would soon become his elder, he would definitely be able to accept these customary rules!

“I’m not sure what matter Qing Shui has to discuss with this old man here?” Shi Dingtian smiled as he spoke. It was just that Qing Shui did not notice the tinge of joy in the old man’s eyes.

“I came to make make a marriage proposal!” Qing Shui raised his head to look at Shi Dingtian and slowly said.

Shi Dingtian was stunned. “My daughters are all married and have children of their own, and eight of my granddaughters are married as well, leaving two. One of them has been betrothed to someone else, and the only other one left is still a toddler. Are you mistaken?”

If Qing Shui knew that Shi Dingtian was saying all this on purpose, he would definitely say that the old man was crafty fox!

“I would like for you to give me Shi Qingzhuang’s hand in marriage!”
