Chapter 1513 - 1490: Where Are Our Invitations?
The senior members of the Sword family verbally berated Ye Huan, declaring their intent to retaliate against him.
In a thatched cottage on the outskirts of the Sword family’s domain, Ye Huan looked troubled and said, "Grandmother, the people of the Sword family are beyond redemption. If you stay here longer, your situation will only become more difficult, facing more exclusion. How about after tomorrow’s meeting, you temporarily move to the Ling Family with me? Later, I’ll find a chance to take you away from the Endless Deep Mountains, back to the external world to reunite with my grandfather."
Jian Fanghua was initially extremely angry, so much so that she wanted Ye Huan to cancel the meeting, denying the Sword family any chance to apologize, plunging them into complete regret.
But upon hearing Ye Huan’s words, she brightened up instantly: "Is that really possible?"
She then showed a helpless expression: "Forget it, Xiao Huan. The most stringent law of the Endless Deep Mountains is the prohibition on Ancient Martial Artists leaving for the external world. You saw what happened to me after I tried to leave and was captured and brought back."
"If you help me leave the mountain, you will definitely incur the Guardians’ wrath."
"I don’t want you to take such a risk for me."
Jian Fanghua held Ye Huan’s hand, her gaze gentle.
Ye Huan nonchalantly said, "I don’t care about any Guardians or mountain laws. As long as you want, Grandma, once I handle matters in the mountain, I’ll take you to the outside world."
"Besides, don’t I have the pure Yan Huang bloodline in me, which is why I’m called the Dragon Son of Huaxia, the leader of a hundred clans?"
"As the leader of a hundred clans, can’t I have the authority to amend the mountain laws for you alone?"
Ye Huan smiled, bringing a bright look to Jian Fanghua’s eyes.
Indeed, Ye Huan, as the leader of a hundred clans, had that authority!
Five thousand years ago, the previous leader of the hundred clans, the ancestor of Dragon Gate, Ling Tianming, didn’t he lift the ban under the invasion of Rakshasa on Huaxia to lead his core War Generals out of the Endless Deep Mountains, heading out to resist the enemy?
The leader of a hundred clans is the ruler of the Endless Deep Mountains; not to mention bringing people out of the mountains, completely abolishing the "No one from the mountains shall venture out" law is not impossible!
"Xiao Huan, once you handle matters in the Endless Deep Mountains, your grandmother and I will thoroughly consider this. If truly possible, we will both leave the mountains with you." Jian Fanghua was full of joy.
Ye Huan nodded with a smile. With his grandmother’s mood restored, his own spirits improved significantly.
"Next, we wait for tomorrow’s meeting. I hope the Sword family can sincerely apologize to you," Ye Huan said with a smile, yawning and heading to a side room to sleep. He swallowed the last sentence back into his stomach and mumbled in his heart: "Otherwise, I will definitely make the Sword family pay a devastating price."
The next day, around noon.
Servants sent by the Ling Family arrived at the Sword Family and were warmly received by the senior members of the Sword family!
The servants handed over all twelve Dragon Son of Huaxia meeting invitations safely to the hands of the Sword Family Patriarch, Sword of Impermanence!
The venue for this meeting is at a top-rated five-star hotel in a town within the Sixth Ring area, named Huang Town.
It seems very grand.
"Since the Ling Family regards us so highly, throwing us such a grand banquet and inviting the Dragon Lord specifically, we must take it seriously!"
After the servants left, Sword of Impermanence said solemnly.
The suggestion received unanimous approval from the senior members of the Sword family.
"But it’s kind of strange. Why send twelve invites instead of a round number like ten?" Sword of Impermanence was very puzzled but didn’t dwell on it, assuming the Ling Family wanted to give the Sword family two extra spots.
Returning his thoughts, Sword of Impermanence said:
"Let’s distribute the invitations now!"
"Jinlin and I must go. As for the remaining ten invitations, you all discuss and decide who will go."
Besides Sword of Impermanence and Sword Jinlin, there were nine others present.
These nine, without exception, were senior elder members of the Sword family, holding high positions.
After some back and forth and voting, all nine elders received an invitation.
The nine elders were overjoyed, seizing the opportunity to finally witness the majesty of the Dragon Son of Huaxia.
One invitation remained.
"What about this invitation?" Sword of Impermanence raised the invitation in his hand, asking everyone.
After some discussion, they determined that apart from their senior members, only one person deserved an invitation.
Jian Fanghua!
As Sword of Impermanence’s daughter, Jian Fanghua had grace and good manners, carrying the demeanor of a noble lady. Bringing her to witness the majestic presence of the Dragon Son of Huaxia would bring prestige to the Sword family.
However, Jian Fanghua was too close to Ye Huan, this good-for-nothing, and even sided with him last night against the Sword family. The Dragon Son of Huaxia, likely holding Ye Huan in disdain, might consequently dislike Jian Fanghua, meaning the Sword family absolutely couldn’t bring her to the Dragon Son of Huaxia meeting.
This invitation should be torn up and fed to the dogs rather than given to Jian Fanghua!
But apart from Jian Fanghua, truly no one else qualified to attend the Dragon Son of Huaxia meeting.
"Grandfather, rather than temporarily find someone to fill the numbers, it’d be better not to, to avoid bringing someone without discretion and embarrassing our Sword family," Sword Jinlin suggested.
Sword of Impermanence nodded in agreement: "Alright then, it’s settled. This invitation will be discarded! The eleven of us will go..."
"Father, where are our invitations? Why haven’t you sent them over yet?"
Before Sword of Impermanence could finish speaking, a female voice came from outside the hall.
Jian Fanghua and Ye Huan entered the council hall.
"What are you two doing here? Get out!" Sword of Impermanence shouted angrily.
"We’re here for the invitations! To the Dragon Son of Huaxia meeting! Hasn’t the Ling Family’s servant already left more than ten minutes ago? Logically, you should have sent someone to deliver the invitations by now. We’ve waited so long without seeing any, so we came to check," Jian Fanghua said.
"What the heck, Jian Fanghua, what are you thinking? Dragon Son of Huaxia meeting invitations, for you two?"
"Do you have any awareness? Do you not know that the Dragon Lord despises you, wishing to send both of you to Hell?"
"Take you to see the Dragon Son of Huaxia? Seriously, are you two daydreaming?"
"Besides, on any other day, it might be possible to give you an invitation. But giving an invitation to your grandson Ye Huan, that’s an impossible thing. I’d rather tear the invitation and feed it to the dogs of the Sword family than let that worthless Ye Huan have it!"
Sword of Impermanence was fed up with Jian Fanghua and Ye Huan, taking the chance to unleash a barrage of personal attacks, making both of them embarrassed!
Jian Fanghua glared at Sword of Impermanence: "Sword of Impermanence, cut the arrogance and hand over the invitations for my grandson and me! The two extra invitations besides the ten were specially sent by the Ling Family for us!"
Upon hearing this, the senior members of the Sword family burst into laughter: "Haha! Jian Fanghua, are you out of your mind? The Ling Family specifically sent you and Ye Huan invitations to the Dragon Son of Huaxia meeting? Who do you think you are? Seriously, look at yourselves and realize what you’re making up! Do you think we’re gullible fools?"
