Chapter 1505 - 1482: Grand Banquet!
Sword Junlin didn’t know this; he was still feeling immensely satisfied.
After all, Song Ziming and his group are top-tier talents from the Endless Deep Mountains, each from first- and second-tier families, truly the elite of their clans. Their status is revered, their backgrounds strong, and their skills terrifying—they are beings that 99% of Ancient Martial Artists can only look up to!
Sword Junlin usually keeps a low profile when interacting with them, treating himself as their lapdog. Only by doing so could he barely fit into their circle as the foremost talent from a fourth-tier family and become their follower.
Who would’ve thought that one day the people who used to look down on him would actually envy and be jealous of him!
It’s exhilarating!
Feeling the exhilaration, Sword Junlin rubbed his hands together and put on a goofy expression, fawningly asking, "Ling’er, can I ask you why you decided to go to the Sword Family with me without saying a word?"
Zhou Qingling’s response was only a chilling glance, "You shouldn’t ask this; I advise you not to."
With those words, she stepped forward, directly walking past Sword Junlin, no longer paying attention to this bootlicker.
Yet, to Sword Junlin, this action took on a different meaning!
"Wow, feeling shy, are we? Zhou Qingling, oh Zhou Qingling, it seems your heart has long been captured by me. You’re just too proud to easily agree to my pursuit, right?" Sword Junlin indulged in his imagination, his expression becoming even more lewd.
It’s hard to imagine that someone with such a distinguished name as a sword family’s prodigy would behave so vulgarly, starkly contrasting his somewhat handsome appearance.
"Grandpa, prepare yourself. Your grandson is bringing home the heavenly maiden of a top-tier family, haha!" Sword Junlin continued to lewdly chuckle within himself.
What is happiness? This is happiness!
What is exhilaration? This is exhilaration!
The goddess Zhou Qingling, whom countless talents long for, is smitten with me!
Not only that, but I am also about to become a core War General under Huaxia Longzi!
The future is bright!
Joy upon joy!
"Tsk tsk, Zhou Qingling, oh Zhou Qingling, you usually hold yourself in high esteem, but in the end weren’t you captivated by the young master here? Rest assured, by following me, you won’t lose out. After all, I am someone even Huaxia Longzi wants to associate with!" Sword Junlin chuckled to himself, unabashedly eyeing the figure of Zhou Qingling in front, feeling delightfully smug.
However, Sword Junlin still had a bit of concern.
"Ye Huan, that scoundrel will probably come to the Sword Family tonight as well. His infamous reputation is known throughout the world and is bound to tarnish the Sword Family’s reputation."
"What if Ling’er sees Ye Huan and feels disgusted, leading her to have a poor impression of me and the Sword Family?"
Sword Junlin was deeply worried but couldn’t think of a better solution. He had to play it by ear and, in frustration, raged in his mind, "Ye Huan, if you dare ruin my chances, I’ll skin you alive!"
...
In the Sixth Ring region, the Sword Family is brightly adorned!
The entire clan is hung with red lanterns and couplets, brimming with a cheerful atmosphere!
The family square is filled with tables!
The lion dance troupe roams throughout the venue, while thunderous drums reverberate through the night sky!
Over ten thousand disciples gathered in the family square, drinking, enjoying themselves, conversing, and lightly discussing each other’s progress and training achievements.
Even on New Year’s Eve, the Sword Family never pulled off such a spectacle!
This morning, the Family Patriarch suddenly announced an extravagant banquet that all Sword Family disciples were required to attend—under no circumstances could they miss it!
This left the disciples shocked and puzzled!
"What’s going on? It’s still far from New Year, and today isn’t any significant holiday or anniversary. Why would the Patriarch mobilize the whole family to organize this feast?!"
"No clue; maybe the Patriarch had a child in his old age?"
"Couldn’t be; I haven’t heard of the Patriarch getting involved with anyone!"
"Could it be that a sow in the Patriarch’s household gave birth? But that wouldn’t warrant such an elaborate celebration, right?"
The Sword Family disciples bantered among themselves.
Just then, over a dozen imposing elders emerged from the Sword Family’s assembly hall to the square.
This group, led by the Sword Family Patriarch Sword of Impermanence, was the core elite of the Sword Family!
Each held high positions and formidable strength!
Seeing them arrive, the disciples promptly stood and greeted them, "Hello, Patriarch! Hello, elders!"
The Sword Family Patriarch Sword of Impermanence, dressed in a festive red jacket, appeared in great spirits and waved to the disciples, "Hello, hello, haha!"
After greeting everyone, Sword of Impermanence looked around, asking with a smile, "Where is Junlin, has Junlin arrived?"
The elders, also anxious, knew Sword Junlin was the evening’s second key figure, meant to host Huaxia Longzi and must attend!
Searching around for a while, Sword of Impermanence and the others grew increasingly worried, "Where is Junlin, the boy? Urge him to come quickly; otherwise, it would be disrespectful..."
Before Sword of Impermanence could give instructions, a voice echoed outside!
"Grandpa, I’m here!"
The man’s voice drew everyone’s attention!
"Greetings, Brother Junlin!" The Sword Family disciples bowed again; Sword Junlin, the family’s foremost talent with exceptional endowments, was a figure to be treated with utmost respect.
"Hello everyone, long time no see! Let me introduce, beside me is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Qingling!" Sword Junlin proudly puffed out his chest, stepping aside to introduce the poised girl beside him to the crowd.
It was only then that everyone noticed Sword Junlin didn’t return alone but was accompanied by an exceptionally graceful goddess!
The identity of the goddess made everyone gasp: "The eldest daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Qingling? Damn, the Zhou family is a top-tier family, and Zhou Qingling is a renowned goddess from the Endless Deep Mountains, a dream for countless men. Brother Junlin actually brought the eldest daughter of the Zhou family to our Sword Family? What’s going on here?"
"What else? Obviously, Miss Zhou was charmed by our Brother Junlin!"
"Damn, Brother Junlin is incredible; he managed to court Goddess Zhou, that’s awesome!!!"
"Brother Junlin is amazing!!!!"
