AST 1648 - Returning home, Lan Lingfeng’s Big Wedding, Imperial City’s Qi Clan comes (2/2)
“Did anything happen here recently?” Qing Shui smiled and said as he recalled especially going to the Sunset Palace before leaving here. If they came back with only two people, he could immediately head to the Divine Cave not far from the Sea King Palace and three of them could fly back.
“Nope. Oh that’s right, we were waiting for your return this time before I was going to marry Ziche Sha. How long would you be staying this time?” Lan Lingfeng worriedly asked Qing Shui.
“This time it would be longer. Don’t worry, even if there were to be anything I will only leave after you both have married.” Qing Shui smiled and said.
Lan Lingfeng patted Qing Shui and said: “That’s really my good Brother.”
Qing Shui looked at Tantai Lingyan and Qin Qing and he really felt like getting married to both of them now, but both of them held their tongue and he figured it was something for another time.
Their wedding day was slated for before the end of the year; the new year was coming soon. It was less than twenty days to the wedding and Lan Clan’s eldest son marrying the Ziche Clan’s eldest daughter was always going to be a boisterous affair.
They started preparing for it very early and the wedding will be held at the Imperial Cuisine Hall, which was why it was going to be closed for a few days.
Actually, the Old Master of the Ziche Clan had always wanted to marry Ziche Sha to Qing Shui, but it was a pity he had not much of an interest in this beautiful woman. Moreover, Lan Lingfeng really liked Ziche Sha, so it wasn’t that bad after all.
Feelings cannot be forced nor can it be yielded. It wasn’t Qing Shui yielding or giving way, if there was a woman he liked, no matter who it was he would not give in. The only way was for his woman to leave on her own accord.
Qing Shui always had a tacit understanding with Lan Lingfeng and Yin Tong - many things did not need to be said and everyone would understand. Birds of a feather flock together and Qing Shui felt that all three of their personalities were rather similar.
Although Lan Lingfeng was Lan Clan’s eldest son, he did not really have any vices and also possessed great vision. This was also the reason why Ziche Sha liked him.
Unknowingly, the new year was nearing and so was Lan Lingfeng and Ziche Sha’s wedding date. Although Qing Shui did not have many friends here, the Imperial Cuisine Hall’s influence was enormous and the number of people he treated were not little and their status was not low either. Thus, even if these people were not invited they would still go.
Qing Shui was not worried that no one would come, Lan Clan and Ziche Clan were eminent clans that would have brought a substantial number of guests.
Also, there was the fact that Lan Lingfeng’s strength was already considered top-notch within the Lan Clan; even the old Ancestor would not be his match. The Battle God Inheritance was not to be belittled, and with Qing Shui’s extended help, his strength increased by leaps and bounds.
As for them being unable to fathom Qing Shui’s current strength, the Lan Clan were happy that Lan Lingfeng could call Qing Shui his friend. The elders of the Lan Clan could tell that Qing Shui was the heart of the Imperial Cuisine Hall.
The Imperial Cuisine Hall occupied a large area and the banquet was held here. Special spices were added to the spread at the reception but they did not want to make it obvious so they only added a little. The wine was also put into Qing Shui’s Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal not long ago - it was vintage wine of at least hundreds of years old.
After all, one day in the real world was the same as more than one year in Qing Shui’s Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
Based on custom, a battle arena was necessary. The Ziche Clan would be the ones defending the arena and only after the Lan Clan beat the Ziche clan could they allow the eldest daughter to be married off. This was just a formality though, since martial arts prevailed in the main continent. That’s why even though it might just be for show, it was a formality nonetheless.
Not long into the banquet, a large number of people were exclaiming how delicious the food was and this unadulterated praise. Those present that could have sampled wine brew that’s hundreds of years old were many, in fact, everyone could have, which was why the wine was not all that special. These wine were not brewed by Qing Shui himself, which were Nu Er Hong.
Also, the battle arena started not long after the wedding banquet started. The tos and fros of the arena made it a very convivial atmosphere. Although those who went up were not strong, they fought entertainingly and many in the audience were smiling kindly at the participants.
Approximately two hours later, suddenly a group of about 30 people walked into Imperial Cuisine Hall. The leader was a vigorous elder and upon seeing this man, Old Man Ziche stood up and welcomed him: “Qi Clan’s Master is here. Come, come, take a seat.”
Previously, the defenders of the arena were from the female’s side while the male’s side would receive the bridge.
“Old Man Ziche!” The Elder’s face bore a smile as Old Man Ziche came up to greet him. As for the rest of the Lan Clan, they didn’t catch his attention.
The Ice Domain Dynasty’s Imperial City’s top clan was the Qi Clan and it looked like things weren’t going too well. Qing Shui looked at Lan Lingfeng and Ziche Sha, whose faces held a hint of displeasure.
Qing Shui also knew that one of the Qi Clan’s Young Masters liked Ziche Sha. Coming forward this time didn’t seem to be to offer their congratulations because they certainly didn’t bring any wedding gifts.
