Everyone congratulated each other as they entered the main hall of the Cheng Manor. Everyone who saw He Yitian was full of praises for him.
Although they knew that most of these people didn't mean what they said, everyone's face was still glowing, and they were all smiling from ear to ear.
No matter the reason, today's marriage between the Cheng and He families was one of the biggest events in the county town in the past ten years. The number of people who went to the Cheng residence to congratulate them was much more than the number of people who went to Old Master Cheng's birthday celebration last year.
Outside the Cheng Manor, there was an endless stream of people and carriages. Inside, the Cheng Manor was also packed.
However, in the main hall, it didn't seem too crowded. Old Master Cheng sat at the head of the table. With his age and seniority, unless Old Master He or Old Master Xu came personally, he wouldn't give up his seat.
Beside Old Master Cheng sat a man and a woman. Although the two of them appeared to be rather reserved, their words and expressions were quite intimate. Anyone could tell that they were a pair of husband and wife.
Everyone in the main hall went out to welcome the He family. Only the three of them sat there as steadily as Mount Tai.
He Quan Ming's gaze swept over them. He immediately guessed their identities, but he bowed and said, "Greetings, Old Master Cheng."
Cheng Ningsheng stood up with a smile and led them to the banquet like a harmonious elder.
According to the rules, only the two brothers, He Quan Ming and He Quan Yi, could enter the main hall. As for He Yi Hai and the others, as well as the stewards who followed them into the main hall, they could only sit in the seats below.
However, when He Quan Yi sat down, he suddenly said, "Yiming, you come too."
He Yiming was slightly startled and couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
He Quan Yi smiled and explained, "Old Master Cheng, before my father left, he said that he wanted Yiming to sit with my brother."
Everyone's gaze immediately shifted to He Yiming. In an aristocratic family, reputation, seat, and so on were all rather important. With He Quanyi's words, it immediately indicated that He Yiming already possessed power that could be compared to the second generation of the He Clan, and even strength that could be compared to them.
This was a special treatment that even He Yitian, who was known as the number one disciple of the third generation of the three aristocratic families, who was at Stage Seven Internal Force, had never enjoyed.
He Yiming felt the suspicion, disbelief, and jealousy from the crowd. He suddenly realized that after experiencing this several times, he really didn't care about these people's gazes.
He Quan Ming nodded slightly. Although he had lived in the manor for a long time, he was very clear about Yi Ming's strength and status in the manor. Letting He Yiming, a person of the same status as them, into the banquet was definitely not overstepping his authority.
He Yiming smiled bitterly. He had hoped that his father would be able to stop him, but he didn't expect that his father would choose to acquiesce.
Cheng Ningsheng's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. Although his estimation of He Yiming was very high, it was still beyond his expectations to be high to this extent.
However, he immediately let out a long laugh and said loudly, "Good, since ancient times, heroes come from the youth. Then let Yiming enter the banquet."
With a steady smile on his face, He Yiming helplessly stepped forward and entered the main seat.
Before everyone sat down, they heard someone loudly announce, "Xu Family Fort, Elder Xu Yinjie has arrived …"
He didn't continue to announce the following names, because the words "Elder Xu Yinjie" seemed to have magical power. It was enough to move anyone.
Cheng Ningsheng, Cheng Ningsheng, and He Quan Ming looked at each other. Other than He Yiming, who had heard that this guy would personally come, everyone else was truly shocked and astonished.
After a short moment, Cheng Ningsheng slowly stood up. His face revealed an expression that no one could understand. No one could tell whether he was happy, angry, or sad. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, Xu Yinjie is the master of the Xu family after all. I will personally welcome him. Please excuse me for a moment."
He Quan Xin and his brother looked at each other and stood up at the same time. Since the person who came was of the same generation as their father, and was also one of the two great experts, Xu Yinjie, they couldn't just sit still.
The group of people hadn't even warmed up from their seats when they suddenly stood up again. However, He Yiming and the others noticed that even after hearing the news of Elder Xu's arrival, the young couple still sat firmly and didn't move.
Immediately, everyone was certain of their identity. Other than guests from the Lin Family of Glittering Jewels, who else would have such guts and face?
He Yiming followed the crowd out and immediately heard Xu Yinjie's hearty laughter.
Although he had heard this person's voice before, he had never formally met him.
From afar, it was actually an old man with a head full of white hair and a face like withered wood. His eyes were even brighter and flashed with a steady light. Although it wasn't sharp, combined with his reputation, it made people not dare to look at him directly.
When He Yiming looked over, he immediately understood the technique that the old man cultivated. It was undoubtedly the Withered Wood Technique, and it had reached the extremely high standard described in the secret book. Although it wasn't the peak of the tenth level, it was close to it.
Cheng Ningsheng and his son smiled and welcomed them in. Everyone chatted for a while before they sat down again.
This time, apart from Xu Xiangci and Xu Xiangqian, there were also a few third-generation disciples, including Xu Yude and Xu Yucai, who came with the old man.
Nevertheless, only the two second-generation experts from the Xu family were allowed to sit in the main seat. When the people from the Xu family saw He Yiming swaggering into the main seat, they were all inexplicably surprised.
However, nobody would be rude to ask under such an occasion.
Cheng Ningsheng cleared his throat and stood up to announce loudly, "Everyone, allow me to introduce you. This is the number one expert among the younger generation from the Lin Family of Glittering Jewels, His Excellency Lin Taoli. The one beside him is I's granddaughter, Yanjuan, who is also Yanli's elder sister. Today is Yanli's wedding, and it's the Cheng Family's honor for brother-in-law and elder sister to come and congratulate us. "
Although everyone knew that Yanjuan was marrying Lin Taoli as a concubine, they were all envious at this moment.
The number one expert among the younger generation of the Lin Family was highly respected. Being a concubine as a daughter of the Cheng Family wasn't a disgrace to the Cheng Family. Moreover, Lin Taoli actually came to a small place like Taicang County to congratulate them. This was giving the Cheng Family enough face. Even the harshest people could only envy the Cheng Family's good fortune at this moment.
He Yiming had long been paying attention to Lin Taoli in secret. This young man looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He sat calmly on the chair, like a lofty mountain range. There was only a sense of maturity and steadiness, as if he was hiding something.
Moreover, his slender figure and gentle demeanor made him look like a quiet woman. When he turned his head and whispered to Cheng Yan Juan, his eyes were always so gentle and he always had a smile on his face. It made you feel that he was very sensitive and would never get angry.
His actions weren't pretentious at all. It was completely from the bottom of his heart. It could be seen that he loved his concubine very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accompanied her all the way here.
Cheng Ningsheng continued to introduce the people at the banquet. When he heard that Elder Xu was a master at the peak of the tenth stage, Lin Taoli's eyes revealed a very obvious look of interest.
This was the first time he showed interest in someone. It was obvious that the peak of the tenth stage of the inner force had moved him. When he introduced He Yiming, when he heard that He Yiming was only fifteen years old this year, but was already at the peak of the seventh stage of the inner force, he couldn't help but be very surprised and pay more attention to him.
He Quan Ming and his brother looked at each other and smiled. In their hearts, Yiming's inner force cultivation had already reached the eighth stage. However, the peak of the seventh stage was already an invincible existence among the younger generation. The eighth stage would just be hidden for a few days.
After the introductions, the banquet started immediately. In the main hall, the dishes were even more exquisite.
After three rounds of wine, the servants pulled down a huge red cloth at the side of the main hall, immediately revealing a stone platform underneath.
This platform was about the same size as the platform at the end of the street in the county. It was also one of the smallest platforms in the Tian Luo Kingdom.
A strong man jumped onto the platform and bowed to the chief seats. Then, he shouted, "Brother Yitian, if you want to marry my sister, you have to show some real skills. Which brother of the He Clan would like to come up and exchange a few moves with me? "
In the distance, a faint circle was formed. Fortunately, there were arrangements made by the manor servants, so it wasn't as chaotic as the street. The people in the main hall naturally couldn't watch because of their status. However, even if they were sitting in the main hall, they could still see everything.
Those who were able to enter the main hall were all influential people in the county. However, martial arts were very popular in the Tian Luo Kingdom. Seeing this situation, everyone's heart was filled with anticipation.
He Quan Yi said in a low voice, "Yiming, this is the leader of the Cheng Clan's third generation, Cheng Lan Nuo. Like your second and third brothers, he's an inner force expert of the sixth stage."
He Yiming nodded slightly. Although he was strong, he didn't really come in contact with many experts from the outside world. That was why He Quan Yi deliberately reminded him.
He Yihai put down his wine cup and said loudly, "Brother Lan Nuo, I'll challenge you."
He took a big step forward and jumped up from below the platform. Instantly, he stood on the platform.
He Yihai originally practiced the Fire Attribute Cultivation Method. At this moment, he casually went up the stage and was filled with a natural heroic spirit. He immediately won the applause of the entire hall. Even the few people on the main seats secretly nodded their heads.
This He Yihai's fate wasn't good. He was actually born in the He Clan Manor.
Other than being firmly suppressed by his eldest brother, He Yiming, now there was another person who had the qualifications to sit with the second generation. Therefore, he wasn't famous among the younger generation of the three great clans.
But in fact, his strength was extremely strong. If he was born in the other two clans, he would have already stood out and been promised as a future star.
