Ye Qinghan was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the beautiful middle-aged woman in front of him, looking into her sincere and longing eyes. He did not understand what had happened. He had not planned to appear today. Just as he had said, this performance was no different from a monkey dance. However, Tu Qianjun's powerful performance and his undisguised slap to the five great clans made him very displeased. Thus, he casually imitated a famous sword dance from his previous life to break the ice.
However, he did not know whether it was because of the beautiful scenery of Tranquil Lake Island, or because he had recalled the events of his previous life and the white-clothed woman at the back mountain of the Ye Family, or perhaps because he had drunk a jar of wine that made him slightly tipsy. The more he danced, the more intoxicated he became. The more he sang, the more passionate he became, to the point that he himself sank into it. In the end, after he finished his performance, he was still immersed in his dream. Then, he was awakened by Yue Ji's sincere words.
He knew that the beautiful middle-aged woman in front of him was actually old enough to be his grandmother. He also knew that Yue Ji was the Yue Family's Grand Elder and one of the two Saints of the Yue Family. However, he did not know why this expert, who was on equal footing with Ye Qingniu, wanted to take him as her disciple just because he sang a very ordinary song and danced a very ordinary dance?
…
Ye Qingniu and the others were also dumbfounded. They looked in disbelief at Yue Ji's sincere face. After confirming that she was not joking, they all fell silent and sank into deep thought. They thought of the sudden gust of wind just now and seemed to have connected something …
Tu Qianjun was also dumbfounded. He looked seriously at Yue Ji for a while and also fell silent. The light in his eyes continued to shine. Although he did not understand what had happened, he had acutely sensed that the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth above Tranquil Lake Island had become much thicker. Moreover, the gust of wind just now seemed to confirm a certain guess in his heart. He began to narrow his eyes to observe the changes in the scene.
Feng Zihua and the other young masters were also dumbfounded. They did not know what had happened. Didn't he just dance and recite a poem? Although they also felt that the dance was not bad and the song was very interesting. Even the Grand Elder of the Yue Family had gone to take him as her disciple, right?
Yue Qing Cheng was stunned as well. She silently looked at Elder Yue Ji whom she respected. She actually wanted to acknowledge a junior as her master? Then, she seemed to have thought of something. She thought of that strange gust of wind just now, and a dazzling light burst forth from her eyes. At this moment, a voice transmission suddenly rang in her ears. She listened carefully, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly stood up and said in an unusually determined tone, "Young Masters, I hereby announce the end of this Summer Fire Festival. This time, I have chosen only one guardian, and he is … Ye Qinghan!"
…
Hearing the determination in Yue Qingcheng's melodious voice, looking at her peerless face and pearl-like eyes, Yue Qingcheng's heart sank. Except for a few old fellows, everyone present was once again collectively dumbfounded.
The Yue Clan's Tranquil Lake Island's Summer Fire Festival was held once every fifteen years. They were very cautious and serious every time. Furthermore, the Saint would always choose two guardians for the Summer Fire Festival and observe them for three years before deciding who would be the Saint. This rule had been passed down for countless years without exception. It was just that the previous generation's Saint, Yue Yan 'er, was deeply infatuated with the peerless elegance of the Ye Clan's genius, Ye Dao. She actually broke the rule and chose only one person. In the end, Ye Dao didn't become the Saint's son-in-law. Instead, he fell in love with Yue Shui 'er, a popular artist in the Yue House. He abandoned the Yue Clan's Saint and lifelong guest elder position and returned to the Ye Clan with Yue Shui' er. In the end, the Saint, Yue Yan 'er, lived in seclusion and passed away quietly.
Now, it seemed that Yue Qingcheng was going to break this rule again. Not only did she end the Summer Fire Festival early, but she also personally announced the result that the man she chose was Ye Qinghan. Why weren't the young masters stunned? How could they not be shocked?
Although Ye Qinghan was a disciple of the Ye Clan, his strength was not bad. However, among the young masters present, there were obviously a few whose reputation and strength seemed to be higher than his. Most importantly, Tu Qianjun was a young master of the Divine City. No matter how one looked at it, Tu Qianjun was more outstanding than Ye Qinghan.
Now, there was actually a dark horse. Yue Qingcheng chose Ye Qinghan and even removed the position of the other protector. This completely severed everyone's hope. There wasn't even a trace of hope left.
This poisonous peach blossom had bewitched everyone and made them infatuated. Now, this peach blossom actually bloomed early, and it bloomed because of one person. Was it because that person performed a rather interesting dance? This reason was obviously not sufficient, and it couldn't convince everyone.
Therefore, Xue Wuhen obviously expressed his dissatisfaction. He carefully looked at Tu Qianjun's gloomy face and stood up. He closed the folding fan in his hand and frowned. He cupped his hands and said, "Young Lady Qingcheng, isn't this decision a little too rash? I think it's better to be cautious with such a decision. "
"Hehe!"
Yue Qingcheng, who was wearing a peach blossom and a peach-colored palace dress, knew that there would definitely be people who would oppose and question her decision. However, she didn't expect that the first one to speak was actually Xue Wuhen, who had been low-key for the whole night. Furthermore, his high-profile appearance wasn't for himself, but for Tu Qianjun who was beside him. A trace of disgust flashed through Yue Qingcheng's heart. Furthermore, it was displayed on her face without any concealment. She coldly said, "Young Master Xue, are you lecturing me?"
Once Yue Qingcheng's words left her mouth, Xue Wuhen's complexion changed. Even Xue Fei, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked a little pale. Meanwhile, Yue Ji continued to stand beside Ye Qinghan and pretended not to have heard anything. Xue Wuhen saw that Yue Ji's complexion was the same as before, but Tu Qianjun's complexion was getting worse. Yue Qingcheng's pearl-like eyes were coldly staring at him, waiting for his reply. He could only summon up his courage and awkwardly said, "I don't dare. It's just that I feel that it's better to ask your clan's elders for such an important decision."
"This decision … I have considered it very carefully!" After a moment of silence, Yue Qingcheng faintly said, "As for the elders' opinions, I can tell everyone that I have just received a sound transmission. The meaning of this sound transmission is exactly the same as my decision. And the person who sent this sound transmission is our Yue Clan's Clan Leader. I think everyone should be satisfied with this explanation."
Yue Qingcheng's words were like a bomb that exploded in the field. The Yue Clan's Clan Leader had always been elusive and rarely appeared in front of the common people. However, her peerless beauty and peerless strength, as well as her charming techniques, had been circulating in the House of Ares for a very long time. Today, she actually sent a sound transmission to Yue Qingcheng. It seemed that this Clan Leader valued Ye Qinghan very much.
"Qingcheng is right. The Clan Leader has also sent a sound transmission to me. Moreover, I also support Qingcheng's choice! Everyone, I'm sorry. " Yue Ji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened her mouth. She looked at Tu Qianjun with an apologetic expression. Her words completely severed the last remnant hope in his heart.
"Hmph! Since it's like this, Qianjun will take his leave! "
After Yue Qingcheng announced the result, Tu Qianjun remained silent. Now that Yue Ji had spoken, he knew that there was absolutely no hope for him today. He looked coldly at Ye Qinghan, seemingly unable to conceal the jealousy and resentment in his eyes. After he finished speaking, he directly leaped onto the Winged Dragon. Then, he looked deeply at Yue Qingcheng, smiled coldly, and commanded the Winged Dragon to soar through the sky.
"Yue Niang, please invite all the Young Masters and Elders to the Moon Lodge to have a good rest and entertain them well." After Tu Qianjun soared through the sky and left, Yue Ji once again ordered to arrange for all the Young Masters to leave the Calm Lake Island. It was the same for every Summer Fire Festival. Once the Summer Fire Festival ended, apart from the man chosen by the Holy Maiden, no one else was allowed to stay on the Calm Lake.
"Eh!"
Everyone looked at Ye Qinghan, who was standing quietly in the field, with complicated expressions. Some were envious, some were jealous, some were resentful, and most of them were puzzled. However, since their master had already given the order, it wasn't appropriate for them to ask too much. They could only think of a way to snatch one of the twelve Calm Lake girls.
"Young Master Han, congratulations! You're very good, brat. Although I'm very jealous and resentful of you, at least the fertile water didn't flow to the Divine City. I'm still very happy about this! " Feng Zi walked out with a cup of wine and stood in front of Ye Qinghan. She raised her head and drank it in one gulp. Her expression was a little lonely and disappointed.
"No need!" Ye Qinghan shook his head slightly and pushed Feng Zi's body away. He looked at Yue Ji and said very seriously, "Elder Yue Ji, you've forgotten something … I don't think you've asked me, the person involved, for my opinion. I didn't agree to be your clan's son-in-law."
