AST 2284 - I’m Someone Else’s Father-in-Law Now (1/2)
…
Qing Shui appeared to be very earnest and serious, so nobody thought of it as a joke. Even Yuchang felt this way.
“I can’t do it!” Feng Zhao said lightly, his eyes flashing with a hint of bitterness.
Qing Shui’s smile widened.
“I thought you liked my clan’s lass. You should be willing to sacrifice everything for the one you love,” Qing Shui smiled and said.
“If you lose your life, there isn’t anything to love. A real loving couple would die for each other, and I am definitely willing to do so for Yuchang. No matter what kind of danger she faces, I’d be happy to sacrifice my life to save hers. But this kind of sacrifice is totally pointless. If I just cut out my arm right now, I believe that Yuchang would be sad. And I don’t want her to be sad,” Feng Zhao said seriously.
Qing Shui was much stronger than Feng Zhao and could see right through him. He could determine that these words were true, so he nodded. “Good, you’ve passed the test. I agree with your marriage. I need to leave in under a month, and I’d like to see your marriage before I leave.”
Zhao Feng looked disbelievingly at ‘senior’ Qing Shui…
“Why? Are you unwilling?” Qing Shui asked.
“No, no… I’m willing, senior!”
“Still calling me senior?” Qing Shui smiled.
“Father-in-law!” Zhao Feng kneeled down and ecstatically yelled.
Qing Shui felt a bit out of place. To think that he himself would become someone else’s father-in-law…
“Okay, you guys decide on a date. Rise, you’ve already paid your respects,” said Qing Shui smilingly. “Oh, I’ll give you a little gift in advance!” Qing Shui stretched out his hand to poke at the different acupuncture points along Zhao Feng’s body, displaying his power and allowing him to break through to Martial Saint Realm.
The gap between a Martial Saint and a peak Martial King was a massive chasm. Martial Saints were respected wherever they went, and there was a massive increase in their lifespan. A Martial King merely had a lifespan equivalent to a Xiantian expert’s.
This kind of things only took a short while. Zhao Feng looked disbelievingly at Qing Shui, as his dream had come through. He knew that there was only a little hope for him since his parents were just peak Xiantian cultivators. He was already an oddity with his attainment of peak Martial King.
Yet, a casual wave of a hand changed his entire life. This was the foundation of a major clan, the ability of a true powerhouse.
Only after a while had passed did he snap out of his daze and thank Qing Shui.
Qing Shui got them to stay for lunch, and the wedding was set to be half a month from now. The Zhao Clan was a normal cultivator clan. Although they weren’t exceptionally powerful, they still had a few properties under their name.
They decided to hold the wedding ceremony in a place not far from the Qing Clan.
The Qing Clan didn’t usually flaunt their strength, but anyone with a suitable amount of power knew that the Qing Clan was the paramount existence in the Dancing Phoenix Continent. Although they were low-key, they possessed unfathomable strength.
The Zhao Clan began to send out invitations but only to their close friends.
The Qing Clan was marrying out a daughter, not wanting to vie for the spotlight with the Zhao Clan. Since there was too big of a gap between the two clans, there was no need to vie for anything, just a few close friends receiving invites and coming over was sufficient.
……
Good days flew by as Yuchang’s wedding day came up. The entire Qing Clan’s manor was decorated with red lamps, as though it were a New Year celebration, cheers and joy could be heard all over the place.
