As the wind blew, everything on the ground seemed to have a breath of fresh air. The trees swayed gently, welcoming the arrival of the cool night. The cicadas were no longer as anxious as they were in the afternoon. Instead, they swayed leisurely.
He Yiming and the others finally returned to Taicang County half a month after leaving the main peak of the Heavenly Lake.
Their return this time caused a stir, especially Jin Zhanjiang and the others from the Eastern Great Shen Empire. They were the center of attention.
At this time, the He Clan Village was quite well-disciplined. Those who had the qualifications and status to meet He Yiming and the others were few and far between.
However, a few days later, the He Clan Village began to host a banquet. All the important people in Taicang County were invited to the He Clan Village to welcome Zhang Zhongcheng and Jin Zhanjiang from the Eastern Great Shen Empire.
Although Jin Zhanzheng and Zhang Zhongxun were baffled by He Yiming's sudden enthusiasm, both of them couldn't deny their feelings and had to show up at this so-called welcoming banquet.
Of course, they were only there to accompany Yu Jinglei, the Medicine Man, and He Yiming. The few of them chatted and laughed as if there was no one else around. They didn't care about the nobles of Taicang County.
However, the more they acted like this, the more they bowed and groveled. This also allowed He Yiming to see the true faces of these people who wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
However, other than He Yiming, the other Innate Experts seemed to be used to this. They did not seem surprised at all. This made He Yiming sigh in his heart. The difference in age really represented the difference in experience. Although his cultivation in martial arts had reached an extremely high level, in comparison, in terms of the ways of the world, he was obviously lacking by more than one level.
After several expansions, the He Clan Village was no longer the same as before. The hall was so spacious that even if there were hundreds of tables, it would still be a piece of cake.
There were people constantly singing outside. Only the most important guests were allowed to enter the hall.
The guests with the highest status were naturally the last to arrive. This was the rule of the entire Tian Luo Kingdom.
The Xu and Cheng Clans, who used to be on par with the He Clan Village, arrived at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding. He Yiming and the others naturally sat calmly on the fishing platform, but He Quan Ming did not dare to be negligent and personally went out to greet them.
Whether it was the Cheng Family or the Xu Family, the elders of the two families had personally come, and the most important members of the family were all present.
Compared to a few years ago, the current He Clan had undergone earth-shattering changes. The tripartite balance of power in Taicang County had long since turned into a single family. The Cheng Family and the He Family were related by marriage, so their status naturally rose as well. However, the Xu Family's reputation was slightly inferior.
Fortunately, Xu Yinjie's cultivation was at the pinnacle of Inner Force Stage Ten. In a small place like Taicang County, it was enough to deter thieves and thieves. Therefore, the Xu Family Fort's status didn't really decline.
He Quan Ming chuckled as he led the two into the hall. They already knew that there were a total of five Primordial experts in the hall, so after entering, they were all very cautious and respectful.
After bowing to the five Primordial experts in the main seats, the people from the two families couldn't help but feel a trace of indescribable emotion in their hearts.
The He Clan Village had produced a monstrous genius, He Yiming. It was indeed extraordinary. Primordial experts, who were rarely seen in the past, also appeared in batches.
After bowing, everyone sat down according to their status.
However, Yu Jinglei, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly stood up.
He had already been to the He Clan Village a few times, so everyone knew his status. He was the undisputed number one person in Hengshan. Therefore, when he stood up, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. The hall was originally relatively quiet, but at this moment, it was completely silent.
He Quan Ming hurriedly bowed and said, "Senior Yu, what orders do you have?"
"Quan Ming, sit down." Yu Jinglei smiled slightly and said amiably.
Although He Quan Ming was his junior, and He Yiming's cultivation was nothing in his eyes, he was still the father of He Yiming. Naturally, Yu Jinglei couldn't pull a long face.
He Quan Ming sat down uneasily. Everyone in the hall looked at the main seat, only to see that He Yiming and the rest had a strange expression on their faces. Only then did they understand that Yu Jinglei's actions were just on a whim.
Yu Jinglei left his seat and walked to a table at the side.
The guests at this banquet were all from the Xu family. Only then did everyone understand that he was targeting the Xu family.
Xu Yinjie and the rest hurriedly stood up and bowed. However, they were secretly complaining in their hearts. They didn't know what they had done to offend this senior. He actually disregarded his status and personally made a move to find trouble at the banquet.
The He Family Manor's people also looked at each other. He Quan Ming repeatedly signaled to He Yiming with his eyes.
With Yu Jinglei's status, even if he killed all these people, no one would say anything. However, if this happened at the He Family Manor's banquet, the impact on the He Family Manor would be too great.
He Yiming shook his head slightly and gestured for them to calm down. He Quan Ming could only smile bitterly.
Yu Jinglei's gaze landed on Xu Xiangqian and suddenly asked, "Who are you?"
Xu Xiangqian hurriedly said, "Junior Xu Xiangqian greets senior."
In the entire hall, although no one dared to speak, everyone exchanged glances. They didn't understand why Yu Jinglei would ask Xu Xiangqian alone.
Yu Jinglei nodded slightly, as if he was admiring some rare treasure, which made Xu Xiangqian's hair stand on end.
"Are you cultivating a fire attribute cultivation technique?"
"Yes."
"Show it to I Quan Ming." Yu Jinglei casually instructed.
Although Xu Xiangqian was a monk who couldn't understand, he understood that the other party wasn't purposely looking for trouble. He immediately felt relieved.
He walked out of his seat and bowed deeply, saying, "Senior, please guide me."
After saying that, he walked out of the hall and started to practice the Lie Flame Technique in front of everyone.
Although his strength wasn't in the eyes of the Xiantian masters, to the people in the hall, he was already an unreachable expert.
After he finished practicing a set of fist techniques, he gathered his Qi and faced Yu Jinglei, saying respectfully, "Senior, please guide me."
Yu Jinglei's face revealed a trace of a smile. When everyone saw this smile, they had a feeling in their hearts. That was Yu Jinglei was satisfied, very satisfied, extremely satisfied …
"Elder He, Brother Zhang, Brother Jin, what do you think of this boy's talent?" Yu Jinglei asked with a smile.
He Yiming immediately agreed, saying, "That's right. Uncle Xu's talent in the fire attribute cultivation technique is exceptional. If there's someone to guide him, it wouldn't be surprising if he reaches the Xiantian level in the future. Brother Zhang, Brother Jin, what do you think? "
Zhang Zhongyun and Jin Zhanzheng exchanged glances. They smiled and nodded at the same time, as if they agreed with He Yiming's words.
However, in their hearts, they were extremely suspicious.
Although this person's talent wasn't bad, it was only 'not bad'. To say that his talent was exceptional, at their level, it was already quite difficult.
As for reaching the Xiantian level, that was just a lie.
Could it be that Yu Jinglei and He Yiming were both blind?
Although the Medicine Man's expression didn't change, he was also confused. He blinked a few times and looked at Xu Xiangqian seriously. But even if you beat him to death, he couldn't see what kind of talent this person had to deserve such an evaluation.
However, no matter how suspicious the three of them were, under such circumstances, they all chose to tacitly agree.
If they refuted now, it would be a great humiliation to He Yiming and Yu Jinglei. As long as they weren't idiots, they wouldn't do that.
At this point, the hall was finally in an uproar. Only now did they understand the meaning of Yu Jinglei's actions. In an instant, countless jealous and envious gazes fell on Xu Xiangqian.
Everyone in the Xu family was overjoyed, especially Xu Xiangqian. He only felt that his head was in a mess. Even with his identity and age, after hearing He Yiming's words, he was also a little absent-minded. The only thing that lingered in his mind was the words' Xiantian level '.
Xu Yinjie finally came to his senses. He looked at Yu Jinglei's smiling and affectionate gaze as he looked at Xu Xiangqian. He immediately shouted, "Xiangqian, quickly acknowledge him as your master."
His voice was a little hoarse due to excessive nervousness, but at this moment, no one found it strange. If their own family members were chosen by Yu Jinglei, they would be even more agitated and at a loss.
Xu Xiangqian finally woke up from his dream. He took a few steps forward and bowed in front of Yu Jinglei, "Elder, please accept me as your disciple."
Yu Jinglei watched as he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. Then, he said, "If you want to acknowledge me as your master, that's fine. But I have a request."
Xu Xiangqian forcefully suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said, "Master, please instruct me."
He insisted on this identity and made up his mind. No matter what harsh conditions Yu Jinglei gave him, he would accept without hesitation.
"I want you to follow I into the mountain and cultivate with all your might. Before you reach the Xiantian level, you are not allowed to leave the mountain."
Xu Xiangqian blinked twice, almost unable to believe that it was a condition that he couldn't ask for. He took a deep breath and said, "Disciple obeys master's orders. I am willing to follow master into the mountain."
Only then did Yu Jinglei laugh out loud. With a wave of his wrist, a substantial force lifted Xu Xiangqian up.
He Yiming said in a clear voice, "Congratulations to Elder Yu for accepting such a good disciple. Today's banquet is a welcoming banquet, but it is also a banquet to acknowledge you as your master."
Zhang Zhongchi and the others also congratulated him, but their gazes towards Xu Xiangqian were somewhat strange. Such a good disciple was really rare.
But they were all experienced and knowledgeable people. Even though they felt that there was something fishy going on, no one dared to expose it.
After a commotion, all the guests dispersed. Everyone who saw this scene understood that with Xu Xiangqian joining Hengshan, the Xu Family Fort's position in Taicang County had also become unbreakable.
