Qin Wentian quietly stood there. Although Jialan Yuntian was the clan leader, he knew that the true controller was none other than Jialan Yuntian's father. That old ancestor of the Jialan Clan had once fought against the Lifire Empyrean for the position of clan leader. If it wasn't for such a character existing, what could the Jialan Clan use to contend against the Lifire Empyrean?
Jialan Yuntian was the eldest son and was in charge of Lifire City. As for the Jialan Ancestor, he brought his second son along to establish a foothold in Lifelong City. Hence, Qin Wentian could faintly guess the origin of the internal conflicts in the Jialan Clan. Maybe, the people of Jialan Yunhai's bloodline were no longer willing to submit to Jialan Yuntian as the clan leader.
This guest of his could be said to have been caught in the crossfire. It wasn't good for them to directly use Jialan Yuntian's bloodline to speak, yet they pointed the spearhead at him. However, this seemed to be a matter between juniors. Jialan Yunhai pretended that he didn't hear it.
Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful countenance flashed with anger. She who was cold naturally exuded a Jialan aura, "Jialan Skywolf, Grandmaster Di is a guest. You should show some respect."
"Little sister Qiuyue must have misunderstood. It's extremely normal for grandmasters to seek guidance between each other. How would there be any disrespect?" The young man casually spoke. He then glanced at Qin Wentian, "Grandmaster Di, what do you think?"
He emphasized the word 'grandmaster', as though he was intentionally mocking Di Tian.
Qin Wentian's eyes outside the black mask were extremely cold. He calmly glanced at Jialan Skywolf as he asked, "Are you talking to me?"
Jialan Skywolf started. He then smiled, "Grandmaster is truly interesting. I'm naturally talking to you."
"Oh." Qin Wentian nodded, "That would depend on the person seeking guidance from me. Just like what you said, not everyone can be called a grandmaster. Hence, not everyone can seek guidance from me. Similarly, not everyone has the qualifications to speak to me."
As he spoke, he cast an indifferent glance at Jialan Tianlang before shifting his gaze away. His gaze contained a cold mockery.
Jialan Skywolf's gaze froze, he was actually stunned by Qin Wentian's words. After he recovered, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face as he spoke, "I've long heard that some grandmasters have strange temperaments and are extremely arrogant. Now that I've met them for myself, they truly live up to their reputation. In the end, they only came from a place like Lifire City."
With that, he just smiled coldly and didn't look at Qin Wentian again.
Jialan Qiuyue didn't bother about it anymore. She glanced at Qin Wentian and transmitted her voice, "Grandmaster Di, I'm sorry."
"It's fine." Qin Wentian smiled as he glanced at Jialan Qiuyue. That flawless countenance attracted the attention of many from the younger generation. Although they were related by blood, they still couldn't help but to steal a few more glances at such a beautiful woman. Jialan Qiuyue who had the title of the number one beauty in the northern regions of Lifire City was undoubtedly the number one beauty in the entire Jialan Clan.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the spacious banquet area. The banquet had long been prepared and many people were already seated. All of them were extremely powerful characters and with a single glance, almost all of them were at the immortal emperor realm. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed, he silently mused that as expected of the most flourishing city in the Lifelong Realm, Lifelong City. This place was the absolute center of the Lifelong Realm. Most probably, ordinary immortal emperors wouldn't have the qualifications to be arrogant here.
Numerous gazes turned towards Jialan Yuntian and his group. The gazes of the older generations were mostly on Jialan Yuntian while the gazes of the younger generations instantly locked onto Jialan Qiuyue. Beautiful women would always attract the attention of others, this was especially so for a beauty like Jialan Qiuyue.
"Big brother, today I've invited some experts from the peak powers of the Lifelong Realm to come and hold a welcoming banquet for big brother. These are experts from the Xuanyuan Clan, they are one of the most ancient aristocratic clans in the Lifelong Realm. Their ancestor once fought alongside the Lifelong Realmlord and now, the Xuanyuan Clan controls an incomparably vast divine weapon trading industry. In this Lifelong City, the Xuanyuan Clan is ranked number one in terms of divine weapon trading. This is an elder of the Xuanyuan Clan, Xuanyuan Hao."
Jialan Yunhai pointed to a middle-aged man as he introduced him to Jialan Yuntian. Jialan Yuntian's expression stiffened as he glanced at Xuanyuan Hao. Although he had always been guarding Lifire City and was in charge of the foundation of the Jialan Clan, as the clan leader of the Jialan Clan, how could he not know about the Xuanyuan Clan? This Xuanyuan Clan was definitely a supreme aristocratic clan. To think that Jialan Yunhai actually had a connection with them.
"Elder Xuanyuan." Jialan Yuntian politely nodded his head. However, Xuanyuan Hao merely sat there and nodded his head in response. Di Tian instantly understood the disparity between them. Lifelong City was as expected of the number one city in the Lifelong Realm. The aristocratic clans here were so powerful that it was suffocating. An elder of the Xuanyuan Clan already had a status that wasn't inferior to Jialan Yuntian, the clan leader of the Jialan Clan.
"There's a Xuanyuan Palace out of the nine world palaces. Could it be that it has a connection with the Xuanyuan Clan?" Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Jialan Qiuyue as he asked.
"Mhm, the ancestor of the Xuanyuan Clan once fought alongside the Realmlord. The Xuanyuan Palace of the nine world palaces was specially established for the sake of the Xuanyuan Clan. In addition, the Xuanyuan Palace is passed down from generation to generation. It isn't something the Lifire Empyrean can compare to." Jialan Qiuyue replied, but her brows were tightly furrowed. Jialan Yunhai actually had a connection with the Xuanyuan Clan? She faintly felt that something was wrong.
Beside Xuanyuan Hao, there was a young immortal emperor. His eyes flashed with a dazzling light as he stared at Jialan Qiuyue. Jialan Qiuyue calmly glanced at him and nodded her head slightly. However, she only saw that the young man didn't seem to feel awkward at all. He only had an evil smile on his face, causing Jialan Qiuyue to feel a little uncomfortable.
"Those over there are people from the Sword Spirit Sect. I'm sure big brother has heard of them before." Jialan Yunhai pointed to a major power as he laughed.
"Unparalleled sword control, the Sword Spirit Sect." Jialan Yuntian spoke. An old man sitting there smiled and nodded. His eyes gleamed with sharpness as he nodded, "That's right."
Jialan Yunhai laughed. He then pointed to another direction and spoke, "Those are people from the Heaven Punishment Sect."
Jialan Yuntian's expression froze again. It was another peak power. Today, Jialan Yunhai invited the three peak powers of the Lifelong Realm over. His intentions were definitely not simple.
The people from the Jialan Clan who came from Lifire City all discovered something strange. Although they saw people from the three peak powers, their hearts weren't at ease at all.
"Yunhai, you said that Jialan Qiuyue of the Jialan Clan is a beauty that can topple empires and has shocking talent. Before this, this seat didn't believe you but from the looks of it now, it seems like what you said is true." An elder of the Xuanyuan Clan, Xuanyuan Hao, smiled at Jialan Qiuyue, his gaze was like he was looking at his daughter-in-law.
"During these years, the Jialan Clan grew stronger and stronger. I didn't expect that not only in Lifelong City, there would be such extraordinary characters in Lifire City as well." The old man from the Sword Spirit Sect also laughed. Qin Wentian discovered something interesting. These people all had young immortal emperors with them and their gazes were all filled with a scorching heat when they stared at Jialan Qiuyue.
In that case, the meaning of this banquet was clear even without words. Jialan Yunhai wasn't arranging a welcoming banquet for Jialan Yuntian and the others. This was clearly a matchmaking banquet for Jialan Qiuyue.
The countenances of Jialan Yuntian and the others all changed. Jialan Yunhai smiled, "Big brother, quickly take your seats. We are preparing to start the banquet."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. These people were all here for Jialan Qiuyue. There was no need for him to get involved in this. He smiled and clasped his hands to Jialan Yuntian, "Since we've already arrived at Lifelong City, Senior Jialan, I, Di, will bid my farewell first."
Jialan Yuntian, Jialan Qiuyue and the others all started but they didn't say anything. Di Tian originally only wanted to follow the Jialan Clan to Lifelong City. Now that the Jialan Clan was in such a state, it was only normal that he wanted to leave.
"Grandmaster Di, didn't you want to seek guidance on the dao of weaponsmithing? In the Xuanyuan Clan, there are true supreme weaponsmiths. Why is Grandmaster Di in such a hurry to leave?" Jialan Skywolf turned his head and glanced at Qin Wentian as he calmly spoke.
Qin Wentian frowned. This Jialan Skywolf actually didn't want to let him go?
"Grandmaster Di, the Xuanyuan Clan is a peak power. Although I believe in your weaponsmithing abilities, it's best if you don't get involved in this. After all, it wouldn't be good for you to offend the Xuanyuan Clan." Jialan Qiuyue's voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind, reminding Qin Wentian in private.
"Farewell." Qin Wentian replied. After that, he glanced at Jialan Skywolf with disdain before turning and preparing to leave.
"Jialan Skywolf, what's going on?" Someone from the Xuanyuan Clan asked.
"Nothing much. Earlier, this man claimed to be a weaponsmithing grandmaster. I told him that there are true supreme weaponsmithing grandmasters here and not everyone has the qualifications to be called a grandmaster. And the truth is indeed as I said. Some of the grandmasters actually fled with their tails between their legs. I wonder how little sister Qiuyue got acquainted with them." Jialan Skywolf casually spoke.
"Jialan Skywolf, don't go overboard." Jialan Qiuyue frowned. She was already extremely unhappy with Jialan Yunhai's arrangements. Jialan Yunhai wanted to make use of her. Once the descendants of these peak powers really fell in love with her, Jialan Yunhai would surely use his clan's connections to make her compromise, right?
And although these people were all characters from the peak powers, they were merely descendants of elders. Clearly, they didn't fit the criteria of a dao companion in her heart.
"Did I say something wrong?" Jialan Skywolf started. After that, he smiled at Qin Wentian who turned around, "Qin Wentian … Grandmaster Qin Wentian, what do you think?"
Qin Wentian's eyes suddenly flashed with an evil smile. He slowly walked back to Jialan Qiuyue's side and under the bewildered gaze of Jialan Skywolf, Qin Wentian stretched out his hand and actually held Jialan Qiuyue's hand. At this instant, Jialan Qiuyue's body trembled but for some reason, she actually didn't reject and allowed Qin Wentian to hold her hand. A charming smile even appeared on her face as she lightly leaned on Qin Wentian's arm.
At this moment, the gazes of everyone froze there, staring at the charming Jialan Qiuyue!
