Outré Prefecture, Dripping Moon City.
Night fell, but Dripping Moon City was brightly lit and extremely noisy! They all knew that today was the day of the City Lord's Mansion's princess's groom selection, and three other Dripping Moon clans would come to propose marriage. Although this matter had nothing to do with them, who wouldn't like to join in the fun?
Dripping Moon City had four city gates, one of which was closed, while the other three were wide open. From the city gate, one could enter the main road that led directly to the City Lord's Mansion. At this moment, both sides of the road were filled with strange 'people', all waiting for the marriage proposal teams.
The three marriage proposal teams did not disappoint them, nor did they make them wait for long. The moment the sky turned completely dark, a huge light immediately lit up outside the three city gates, and the three marriage proposal teams walked out.
The three marriage proposal teams were majestic, and each team had more than a hundred people! In order to show their sincerity, all the betrothal gifts were transported in boxes, and some especially valuable items were not even placed in the boxes, floating in the air in front of everyone to show their confidence and value.
When the three marriage proposal teams entered Dripping Moon City, the people on both sides of the long street immediately roared loudly. All kinds of voices appeared, forming a huge noise, but no team would complain that the surrounding voices were too loud. Instead, the louder the better.
The three marriage proposal teams valiantly advanced toward the City Lord's Mansion, and after cheering along the way, they finally arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion. The three teams that came from different directions were all in the midst of the loud cheers, and at this moment, the three sides finally met each other.
The three clan leaders all arrived and stood at the front of the teams, looking at each other. The three of them looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they could see that they were determined to win this marriage!
The three teams quickly gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion's gate. At this moment, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened, and a person stood on the wall of the City Lord's Mansion and said loudly, "The City Lord has set up a banquet, everyone, please come in!"
The three teams naturally did not hesitate and entered the City Lord's Mansion's gate. Although the gate was huge, it was still a little crowded to accommodate three teams walking side by side, and because of this, the distance between the three clans was very close. Everyone in the teams looked at each other, and they could feel the hostility between them.
The only one who did not have hostility was Lu An, who was in Si Jian's team. He was not conspicuous in the crowd, and he advanced in the dense team.
Soon, the three teams passed through the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion. After passing through a long passageway, they arrived at a vast area. This place was very clean and tidy, and there was a huge platform on the north side. The platform was filled with banquets, and they were spread out in a fan shape, all facing the south. On the south side, there was a huge low stage, which was obviously used for singing and dancing. The three teams came to the high platform and were very satisfied with the scale of the reception.
That's right, Si Xing had indeed made very thorough and dignified preparations. From the people who were preparing to perform around the lower stage, it could be seen that there were performances from various races, giving enough face to the three families. Lu An was also watching this from the high platform. He could tell from the looks of surprise on the faces of the other three patriarchs that Si Xing had succeeded. Si Xing had most likely been laying the groundwork for the unification of the Flowing Moon Clan. This time, he was even trying to show off his clan's strength.
Everyone knew that tonight was a banquet, a day of celebration. As the saying goes, try peaceful means before resorting to force. The competition would not start on the first day. After tonight's banquet, the real competition would begin tomorrow night. However, this did not mean that tonight's banquet was not important. On the contrary, it was very important. Everyone wanted to know more about each other, and tonight was the best time to show off.
Although the three patriarchs were all present, they knew that their performance was useless. Tonight was their son's chance to show off. The children of the three families were Si Qing, Si Ming, and Si Yang. They had all gathered around the main character of this competition.
The main character of this competition was Si Xing's only daughter and only child, Si Yan.
Because the seats were spread out in a fan shape, Lu An could naturally see Si Yan's appearance. The Flowing Moon Clan members were all very good-looking after transforming into humans. Si Yan was even more outstanding, and she bore some resemblance to her mother, Si Xing. However, it seemed that Si Yan was a very independent person. Even though there were three people around her, she did not seem to care at all. It was as if she did not put much thought into this competition.
Lu An shook his head slightly. No wonder she had not been married for 200 years. Such an independent woman would not compromise before she found someone she liked.
Lu An looked at the three men around Si Yan. After interacting with Si Qing for the past few days, he was indeed a person with a good character. He was very stable and was someone who would not do anything out of line. It was no wonder that Si Xing would choose him as her son-in-law. As for the other two men, Si Ming and Si Yang, Si Ming was the only Flowing Moon Clan member without a territory. He was also the person Si Xing was most wary of.
In terms of appearance, Si Ming was the most handsome of the three. However, in terms of facial features, Lu An frowned slightly. Lu An was a person who believed in facial features. Although Si Ming's facial features were regular, his eyebrows were long and thin, hiding a sense of cunning. This kind of person was very scary. Simple cunning people were not to be feared, but people who could hide their cunning were the most worrisome.
As for the other man named Si Yang, he looked very resolute and had a lot in common with many of the martial arts fanatics Lu An had seen before. Although Lu An was more hardworking than most of the martial arts fanatics, he was not a martial arts fanatic. The so-called martial arts fanatics really loved to cultivate and were obsessed with it, even if there was no external pressure. Lu An cultivated hard because he needed strength.
Among the three, Si Yang was undoubtedly the strongest. However, even so, he was only at the peak of Class 7.
The lifespan of the Flowing Moon Clan was very long. They could even compete with Dragons. However, because of this, their cultivation speed was very slow. To be able to cultivate to this level in 200 years was already an absolute genius for the Flowing Moon Clan.
"Yan 'er, this time I brought you a deep sea pearl from the Extreme North Sea." Si Ming revealed a handsome smile. A light flashed at his fingertips and a pearl appeared in his hand. He handed it to Si Yan and said, "Look at how clear its color is. It's just like yours."
The pearl was indeed very beautiful, but Yan 'er was not interested in it. Although she was independent, she was also feminine. She did like jewelry, but she did not like it when others gave it to her. She only liked what she found. However, with so many people watching tonight, she could not reject it. She could only say, "Thank you."
Seeing Si Ming give a gift, the other two immediately became anxious. Si Yang immediately took out his own gift. It was a special glazed stone that could only form under certain conditions for tens of thousands of years. It was very beautiful and very precious. He quickly said, "Yan 'er, this glazed stone is for you!"
Yan 'er's eyes lit up. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, Si Ming spoke again with a smile, "Brother Si Kong, this glazed stone is too shabby as a gift. I prepared a box full of glazed stones like this as a betrothal gift. I was too embarrassed to take it out."
As soon as he said this, Yan 'er's hand froze in the air. Si Yang immediately stood on the spot with an awkward expression. Although the commotion here was very quiet, many people were secretly paying attention to it. Si Ming's words were obviously too much, but they could not interfere. At this time, whoever interfered would lose. It would all depend on the three of them.
On the side, Lu An sat in his seat and quietly watched the situation not far away.
Si Yang was obviously unhappy after being interrupted. Moreover, martial arts fanatics had a bad temper. He glared at Si Ming angrily. Seeing Si Yang angry, Si Ming was not afraid. Instead, he smiled. If Si Yang made a move here, the entire banquet would be ruined and there would be no more chances.
Si Yang's people looked at him worriedly, praying that he would not act rashly. At this moment, Si Qing immediately took out his gift. It was a flower. However, this flower was very beautiful. Its petals emitted a flowing light that was very similar to the Flowing Moon Clan's. He said to Yan 'er, "This is the Floating Sky Flower. It has no effect on its own, but it is very beautiful. Moreover, as long as you keep it, it will live forever. It will always be beautiful, just like … just like you, Yan 'er! "
Si Yan was stunned. Her eyes shone brighter as she looked at the flower. However, just as Si Yan was about to take it, Si Ming suddenly spoke again.
"It's not that I want to criticize you, Brother Si Qing, but I have a Celestial Float Flower in my house. How can you be more stingy than Brother Si Yang?" Si Ming said helplessly, "Is Yan 'er so cheap in your eyes?"
"…"
Si Qing was speechless. He stood on the spot, not knowing what to do. Although he had made a lot of preparations, no one expected Si Ming to attack so openly.
For a moment, Si Qing and Si Yang stood on the spot, not knowing what to say. Both of them were very stupid and did not know what to do.
At this moment, a voice was suddenly heard. Although it was not loud, it reached everyone's ears.
"Just now, you said that you have a lot of glazed stones. Can you sell some to me?"
