Chapter 2290

The next day, in the City Lord’s Mansion, the entire mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the sound of wind and percussion instruments filled the air, bustling with excitement.

Today was the day of the concubine ceremony of Luo Jin the City Lord of Tianhe City. Guests from all directions came to offer their congratulations. One after another, carriages fully loaded with congratulatory gifts drove continuously. Under the guidance of the servants of the City Lord’s Mansion, they headed towards the backyard. Special people recorded them, classified them, and stored them in the treasury.

Everyone in the entire City Lord’s Mansion had smiles on their faces, as if they were the ones getting married.

At the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, handsome young servants and beautiful maids welcomed the guests coming and going, lined up in two rows. Each of them had a full smile on their faces and was polite.

Whenever a guest arrived, the master of ceremonies would loudly announce the guest’s sect affiliation, attracting the attention of all. After entering the City Lord’s Mansion, someone would lead them to the inner hall. According to their different identities and statuses, they were arranged at the banquet tables in different positions.

The representatives of those flourishing and powerful sects were naturally arranged in the frontmost positions. Next came the representatives of other slightly inferior sects or families. The further out, the lower the representative’s status.

No one dared to have any objections to such an arrangement. The more capable one was, the more forward the position one could sit in. Each sect and family knew exactly how much weight they had, and everyone had a clear idea in their hearts.

The arrangements of the City Lord’s Mansion must have been already drawn up long ago, and naturally would not arouse the displeasure of others.

Yang Kai came here along with the people of Qianye Sect and looked around curiously.

It was the first time he had participated in someone else’s wedding. Although it was only a concubine ceremony, it was also a major event related to a lifetime, and he found it quite novel. This lively and festive scene involuntarily made him think of Su Yan, Xia Ning Shang , Shan Qingluo, and Xue Yue and others.

Deep in his heart, he felt a burst of self-blame. When leaving the home star field back then, he should have properly arranged a ceremony to let them experience the happiness that a woman should have.

Now that he thought about it, he had indeed owed them a lot.

Today, he actually didn’t want to come here. It was just that Ye Qinghan had invited him several times, and Yang Kai didn’t want her to think too much and was afraid that he would leave without saying goodbye. So he simply came along with the few people from Qianye Sect.

Du Xian and the others also brought some congratulatory gifts from the sect. Although they were not very precious things, the quantity was not small. They had been loaded onto a carriage and handed over to the servants of the City Lord’s Mansion to be placed in the back hall long before coming in.

After that, they were led by another servant into this inner hall where the ceremony was held.

The inner hall was quite large. Even with over a hundred wine tables placed inside, it didn’t seem crowded. After Ye Qinghan and the others from Qianye Sect arrived, it was already bustling. The powerhouses from various sects and families were either drinking by themselves or gathering in groups of three or five to talk loudly and laugh heartily. In this kind of occasion, it was precisely a good opportunity for many forces to connect with each other’s feelings and enhance mutual exchanges.

The servant leading the way in front brought Ye Qinghan and the others to a wine table in the middle position and smiled, saying, “This is the position for all the adults. Please wait for a moment. The ceremony is about to begin.”

After saying that, this person was about to leave.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ma’s face flashed a hint of displeasure. He grabbed the collar of that servant and shouted in a low voice “Our position is here?” Are you sure?

The position of this wine table was not in the front but rather a bit behind the middle. Among the dozen or so wine tables around this place, except for Qianye Sect, the rest were all small families and small sects. There might only be one Dao Source Realm in the clan or sect, similar to the strength of the several major families in Fenglin City.

Although Qianye Sect didn’t have an Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouse sitting in town, there were quite a few Dao Source Realms. In any case, it was impossible to be arranged here. Even if it wasn’t one of the frontmost tables, it definitely wouldn’t be that bad.

Such an arrangement was obviously a kind of contempt for and insult.

The servant was startled by Wu Ma and said in a panic, “I’m only responsible for leading the guests to the corresponding wine tables. I don’t know anything else. Please spare me, sir! Please spare me!”

“Wu Ma, let go！” Du Xian frowned tightly and ordered lightly.

“Senior Brother…” Wu Ma seemed to want to say something, but saw Du Xian wink at him. He turned his head and looked around, and saw many people staring at him with wide eyes. Apparently, his actions had attracted the attention of many people.

“Since we’re here, let’s just settle down！” Du Xian said softly.

Hearing this, Wu Ma gritted his teeth and reluctantly let go of the man’s collar, but still had an indignant expression on his face.

“Sit down first. What would it look like if others saw?” Ye Qinghan frowned and took the lead in sitting down.

The other disciples of Qianye Sect also sat down quietly, but their faces didn’t look good.

Wu Ma gritted his teeth and said, “Senior Brothers and Sisters, they clearly want to embarrass us… How can you bear it？”

Du Xian looked at him and said, “So what if we can’t bear it？ Are you going to overturn this place or kill that old bastard？”

Wu Ma mumbled, “I didn’t say that either, but with so many people watching, they deliberately arranged us in such a backward position.”

Ye Qinghan said, “Who made this someone else’s territory? It won’t do us any good if we make a fuss.”

Du Xian snorted coldly. “Luo Jin is sure that we will swallow this. Remember today’s disgrace and pay it back double another day.

Wu Ma looked angry, but also knew that there was no way to change the current situation. However, the strange looks from the martial artists around and the whispering voices made him always feel that they were laughing at himself and others. He suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles and was very uncomfortable all over.”

And just at this time, Du Xian suddenly quietly poked Ye Qinghan’s arm and said in a low voice, “Ever since you came in, someone has been looking at you.”

“Who?” Ye Qinghan looked suspicious and turned her head to look around. She immediately saw Qiu Yu sitting at a table in the front. Sure enough, she saw that he was staring at her intently.”

She quickly spat and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Where is he looking at me?”

Du Xian chuckled. “If he’s not looking at you, then who is he looking at！ Junior Sister Ye is as beautiful as a celestial being. How can Qiu Yu, this little bastard, resist your charm.”

Ye Qinghan blushed and fumed, “The more you talk, the more improper it becomes. You are the senior brother and should set an example for others!

Du Xian couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.

Ye Qinghan looked at his appearance and saw that his face was full of sweetness. How could she not know that Du Xian was jealous？

Wu Ma suddenly interrupted at this time and said, “That bastard actually sent someone over.”

Du Xian and Ye Qinghan turned their heads and saw that an old man who had been following Qiu Yu and protecting him was walking towards them unhurriedly.

Du Xian frowned and said, “What does this kid want to do？”

Ye Qinghan snorted and said, “Why bother with him? After participating in this ceremony, we will return to the sect. I don’t want to stay in this place for a moment longer.”

While speaking, the old man had already arrived at the table where the few people were sitting and stood still. He slightly cupped his fists and said, “I’m disturbing you all！”

Since the other person was so polite as an elder, Du Xian couldn’t show a bad face either. He also cupped his fists and replied, “Elder Li is too polite.” He paused for a moment and then asked, “I don’t know what Elder Li is here for？”

The old man surnamed Li said lightly, “Ordered by my young master, I want to invite someone to go over.”

When Du Xian heard this, he couldn’t help but look at Ye Qinghan.

Ye Qinghan said impatiently, “Go back and tell your young master that I don’t have the time！”

The old man surnamed Li looked at Ye Qinghan with a strange expression and smiled, “The young sect master is thinking too much. My young master doesn’t want to invite the young sect master, but this little brother here.”

While speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Kai.

“Uh…” Ye Qinghan’s face turned bright red, and he said awkwardly, “Please… what for？”

Du Xian and the others also had expressions of astonishment. Like Ye Qinghan, they all thought that the old man surnamed Li had come to invite Ye Qinghan. After all, Qiu Yu had always had feelings for Ye Qinghan. Who would have thought that things would be so dramatic, leaving Ye Qinghan in a difficult position for a while.

The old man surnamed Li said, “The young master didn’t say, and this old man doesn’t know either. He just asked this old man to come here and invite this little brother over.”

Hearing what he said, everyone cast their gazes towards Yang Kai.

At a glance, they couldn’t help twitching the corners of their mouths.

I saw that Yang Kai had somehow brought the fruit plate placed on the table in front of himself. He was holding a spiritual fruit in each hand and devouring it with great relish. On the table in front of him, there were several fruit cores placed. No one knew when he started eating. In such a short time, he had almost eaten half of those spiritual fruits.

His eating appearance was vivid and he gobbled up the food as if he was a starving ghost reincarnated after hundreds of years, making several Thousand Leaves Sect disciples dumbfounded.

Moreover, due to the sudden arrival of the old man surnamed Li at this table, many people were curiously looking over here. As soon as they saw Yang Kai’s way of eating, they all kept shaking their heads and sighing, with a look of contempt in their eyes, thinking that this guy was probably a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and a plate of spirit fruits made him make a fool of himself.

The several disciples of Thousand Leaves Sect felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

Young Master Yang！” Ye Qinghan’s face was as red as a burning fire, and she gently poked him, indicating for him to restrain himself a little.”

Yang Kai turned his head, with an unknown pulp stuffed in his mouth, his mouth full of saliva, making a smacking sound while eating. He handed the fruit plate in his hand to Ye Qinghan and said, “Do you want it？ If you want it, just take it.”

Ye Qinghan’s mouth twitched continuously, and her face became even redder.

However, Yang Kai seemed completely unaware. He handed the fruit plate to the other disciples of Thousand Leaves Sect and said, “Don’t be polite. The taste is very good. Eating more can also improve your cultivation. These spirit fruits should have been just picked not long ago. They are very fresh.”

several disciples of Thousand Leaves Sect were at a loss for words. They didn’t know Yang Kai’s background either, and they didn’t know what Ye Qinghan had been bringing him along for. As soon as they saw him being so embarrassing, they all turned their heads away, looking like they didn’t know this person well.

Ahem…

“Which Senior Li is this？” Yang Kai said. “What Senior Li？”

“Little friend, we meet again.” The old man surnamed Li’s forehead veins were bulging. He had been left standing here for quite a while, and Yang Kai ignored him as if he didn’t exist. After all, he was also a powerful cultivator at the Third-Order Dao Source Realm, so naturally, he was furious in his heart.

Only then did Yang Kai raise his head to look at him and grinned, saying, “So it’s you. Why aren’t you following Qiu Yu? What are you doing here?”
