It was night time, yet the square was brightly lit like it was daytime.
Hundreds of tables were placed there and were filled with descendants of the Yan Clan. At a glance, there were at least 5,000 of them.
It was obvious that other than some ancestors who were in isolation, the rest of the descendants of the Yan Clan were here. Even the previous Clan Leader had exited his isolation. The reason why these people were here was to thank Ling Xian.
At the center of the square was a red wooden table. Ling Xian was sitting on a chair. Around him sat the previous Clan Leader, Yan Qiong Fei, and seven to eight cultivators he didn't recognize.
Without an exception, these people were all completion leveled powerhouses. Sitting there, they were as heavy as mountains and had a threatening vibe. However, every time they looked at Ling Xian, they would reveal a kind smile.
Currently, these completion leveled cultivators were checking out Ling Xian. Or in other words, everyone was looking at him.
They all wanted to see if this genius, who achieved so much in both arrays and alchemy, had three heads and six arms. Or else how could he surpass his peers at such a young age?
Sadly, Ling Xian did not have three heads and six arms. He sat there without any Qi and looked like an ordinary person. Of course, this "ordinary" was to cultivators below the completion level. These people were too weak and could not feel the faint rhythm of Dao that was circulating around him.
However, the elder in green and the seven to eight completion leveled cultivators did notice the rhythm of Dao that Ling Xian was emitting. Then, they became more and more shocked and the smile on their faces intensified.
"Master Xian, please start eating. Try the delicacies of the Yan Clan." The elder in green was full of smiles and said, "Even though we don't need to eat these things, it is good to satisfy our hunger."
"That's true." Ling Xian nodded in agreement, "Everyone, stop looking at me. Let's eat together."
Hearing this, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to savor the delicacies on the table. Seeing that the main table was starting to eat, the other cultivators didn't wait any longer and began to move their chopsticks.
Just like that, the banquet began. Everyone was full of smiles as they tasted the delicacies and chatted with familiar cultivators. The content of their conversations was about one person.
Ling Xian.
Without a doubt, he was the undisputed main character of this banquet, the only focal point here!
After a while, more than ten cultivators walked to Ling Xian's side with wine glasses in their hands. Then, without another word, these people picked up their wine cups and drained it in one gulp.
"Everyone, you're too polite." Ling Xian softly grinned, knowing that these people were thanking him. Therefore, he poured himself a cup of wine as a return gift.
Seeing this, the other cultivators at the other tables began to move as well. As if they had planned this beforehand, they all walked towards Ling Xian. Everyone had a glass of wine in their hands, and without saying a word, they picked up the glass and drank it down.
Ling Xian smiled helplessly. He didn't say anything and drained the cup of spiritual wine.
After that, a special scene appeared on the square.
The cultivators from every table came before him. Without saying a word, they downed the spiritual wine in their cups to express their gratitude to Ling Xian.
Faced with everyone's toasts, Ling Xian felt helpless but he had to drink. Luckily, the descendants of the Yan Clan came in groups. If they came one by one, even a real immortal would be drunk.
After a long while, the cultivators at the hundred tables finished toasting and returned to their own tables to continue eating and drinking.
Ling Xian could finally sigh in relief. Even though his alcohol tolerance was not bad, he couldn't handle so many people coming to toast him. Not only was his face a little red, but his body was also shaking.
However, his heart was extremely warm.
Almost 5,000 people came to toast him. They weren't trying to get him drunk, they were trying to show their respect for him!
Therefore, though Ling Xian was a little tipsy, he was full of joy. He felt like his efforts were not wasted.
"Master Xian is a Heaven's Favorite after all. Even his alcohol tolerance is extraordinary." The elder in green was full of smiles and complimented.
Ling Xian softly grinned and waved his hand, "You are flattering me."
"Master Xian is being too humble." The elder in green smiled. Remembering what his third brother told him, he couldn't help but to ask, "I wonder if Master Xian is engaged?"
Ling Xian was a little startled and shook his head, "Not yet."
Hearing this, the elder's smile deepened. He had heard from Yan Tian Nan that his granddaughter was in love with the young man before him. This was why he suddenly asked this question.
"Haha, that's good."
The elder in green stroke his beard and smiled, "I have a granddaughter who is around the same age as you. Her name is Yan Ning Zhi. She is as beautiful as a flower and is one of the top beauties on the Trading Island. She has never been engaged. How about we take advantage of this double happiness and add another one to make it triple happiness. What do you think, Master Xian? "
"This is … a marriage proposal?"
Ling Xian shuddered and sobered up a little. He quickly brandished his hand, "I can't do that. I can't do that."
"Hmm?"
The elder in green frowned, a little unhappy. However, when he thought that the person before him wasn't someone he could casually scold, his brows immediately relaxed, and he said with a smile, "You're unmarried, and she's unmarried. Both of you are considered to be well-matched in social status, so why can't I?"
"I …"
Ling Xian frowned. If he said it out loud, he would hurt Yan Ning Zhi's feelings. If he didn't say it out loud, he was afraid that the elder in green would misunderstand. This put him in a difficult spot.
Luckily, Yan Qiong Fei spoke up and helped Ling Xian out, "Father, let Ning Zhi make the decision herself. We shouldn't get involved."
"What do you know about this? This young man is already a completion leveled powerhouse at such a young age. He is also well versed in arrays and alchemy. His future is bright. A Heaven's Favorite like him is hard to find. If we don't capture him now, you will regret it in the future! "The elder in green whispered to Yan Qiong Fei.
Hearing this, Yan Qiong Fei bitterly smiled. He shook his head and didn't say anything.
Even though he was hostile towards Ling Xian in the beginning, after a series of events, he had accepted it. However, he could tell that this matter was most likely a case of falling flowers having intentions, but heartless streams.
Seeing that Yan Qiong Fei kept shaking his head and seeing the hesitant expression on Ling Xian's face, the elder frowned and knew what was going on. Sighing, he shook his head helplessly, "Whatever. Xiong Fei is right. We elders shouldn't interfere with you young people's business."
"Thank you for your understanding." Ling Xian sighed in relief. He was really afraid that the elder wouldn't forgive him. If that was the case, things would be difficult.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." The elder in green smiled and personally poured Ling Xian a cup of wine, "Come, Master Xian, let me toast you. Thank you for what you have done for the Yan Clan."
"You are being too polite. You are an elder, I should be toasting you." Ling Xian grinned and stood up.
"Haha, even though I am older than you by two generations, you are not my descendant. Moreover, in terms of cultivation and talent, you're above me. How can I let you toast me? "The azure-robed old man laughed and drank the fine wine in his cup.
Ling Xian smiled helplessly and drank the wine in his cup as well.
Then, another round of toasts began.
Every single completion leveled cultivator at this table stood up and raised their cups to show their appreciation and respect towards Ling Xian.
Against everyone's toasts, Ling Xian could only bitterly smile. He hoped that this banquet would end soon.
