C429 Looking Forward to Autumn Water
C429 Looking Forward to Autumn Water
This site was located at the center of the Fang family estate, and was a tall altar that was filled with all sorts of sacrificial offerings.
Below the tall stage, within a circumference of several hundred meters, there were all sorts of seats. All of them were created by expensive materials. The higher the position, the closer one would be to the stage.
When I arrived here, many figures had already taken their seats. They chatted and laughed amongst themselves, praising Faang Dao's name from time to time. Many people even clasped their hands and bowed to us.
However, I only heard Faang Dao's name, but didn't see him in person. It seemed that the auspicious moment hadn't arrived yet, so he wasn't able to appear that quickly. There were only a few Fang family servants leading the guests.
At the invitation of the Fang family's servants, we sat closer to the stage. Elder Ning glanced around and praised, "The Fang family is indeed extraordinary. Since it's still not time yet, we can only wait."
Second Master and I nodded at the same time. As we sat to pass the time, we listened to the whispers around us.
"The Fang Clan is offering sacrifices to the Ancestor!"
"Faang Dao has been famous for a long time, and has even surpassed everyone else in the Fang family. He has been bestowed the title of Holy Son. This is the true name of the people."
"So what if I want to take a look at the true appearance of the Azure Dragon?"
"Hehehe, why aren't your Li Family here yet? You're not afraid to come, are you? "
"I think so too. Ever since Old Master Lee went into seclusion and was temporarily taken over by Lee Qinghao, the Li Family has constantly declined. I also heard that Lee Qinghao has an extremely strong desire for power, so he used a lot of methods within the Li Family."
"Lower your voice so that others won't hear, and when the time comes to complain to Li Family, we will still have to bear the consequences. No matter how low our Li Family has declined, it is still a Three Great Families after all, and their internal affairs are not something we can discuss."
"Look at the Ning Mansion, isn't that the one who was first in the last Four Great Families, Lee Shaobai? I heard he beat up Hsu Qingxiong a while ago. "
"Shh ~ Be careful not to let others hear you, don't talk about this."
"Hmm? Song Family is here, Mr. Soong! "
"..."
Just at this moment, a few hundred meters away, Soong Hai led a few middle-aged men with his hands behind his back as he slowly walked over. Those with low status all cupped their hands and bowed.
From far away, Soong Hai noticed me. His expression changed slightly and he became gloomy. He sat not too far away without saying a word.
I slightly raised the corner of my mouth and smiled back at Soong Hai. I intentionally asked, "Mr. Soong, why didn't Soong Shaocheng come with you?"
Soong Hai gritted his teeth, "This is the Fang family. I don't want to argue with a junior. Since you dared to hit Hsu Qingxiong before the ceremony, you will have to pay the price today."
"Then let's wait and see." I guaranteed the curve of my lips as I leisurely drank a cup of tea.
Very quickly, people began to arrive one after another. Wang Family had arrived, and Xu Family had also arrived.
Hsu Qingxiong followed Hsu Kun in. He immediately stared at me with a cold smile. It was as if in his eyes, I was walking right into a trap and would not be able to escape.
Hsu Kun's face did not look good. Last time when he came to Ning Mansion to demand an explanation, he was rendered speechless by me with a few words.
Xu Family and his group sat down, and Hsu Kun immediately said with a cold snort: "Some people should not be too arrogant, the matter is not over yet, we do not need to help, naturally someone will take care of you."
As Hsu Kun's words came out, everyone present realized that the atmosphere was tense and hostile. They all shut their mouths and did not talk about it.
I ignored Hsu Kun's words and continued to slouch with my legs crossed, pretending that you can't get rid of me. Sitting on the seat and drinking tea, I was so angry that Hsu Kun blew his beard and glared at me.
Then, ignoring their stares, I continued to kill time.
During this process, the seats under the ancestral worship platform were gradually occupied. The number of people had already increased to about seventy to eighty.
Only when there was a cry of alarm did a group of people appear in the distance. The person in the lead was an old man with a white beard and an immortal demeanor. Behind him were two other people. Ye Shun!
"Pill King of Ye Family!"
"Pill King is here in person!"
"Welcome, Pill King!"
With a hong sound, everyone present felt a deep veneration for him. They immediately stood up and cupped their hands together, not daring to act the slightest bit presumptuously.
Second Master pulled me up and gave me a look. I quickly imitated his and Elder Ning's gesture, clasping my hands together. I couldn't help but feel shocked in my heart. I didn't expect the famous Pill King of Ye Family to come to the Fang family in person!
Pill King of Ye Family waved his hand and said, "No need to be restrained."
Everyone put their hands down, but they still maintained a respectful attitude. No one dared to casually take a seat without Pill King of Ye Family sitting down.
Pill King of Ye Family's expression was indifferent. He seemed to be very old, but every step he took was steady. He directly sat at the position closest to the high platform and then closed his eyes to rest his mind.
Ye Shun looked at me and suddenly sneered meaningfully. He didn't say anything, so it was unknown what he was thinking.
I didn't even look at it as I became extremely impatient. I secretly cursed the Fang family for being too ungrateful. To be able to perform an ancestral worship for a Holy Son, it was simply feudal!
Resisting my impatience, I took a deep breath and continued to wait.
Half an hour later, an old man wearing a shaman's uniform suddenly walked into the arena and stepped onto the high platform, shouting, "The auspicious hour has arrived! "We would like to invite the main head of the Fang family, the Holy Son of the Fang family, to attend the ancestral worship ceremony."
At this moment, many people looked at each other with widened eyes.
"This... The Li Family had not arrived yet, and it had already begun? "It seems like there's still some time before the auspicious time, right?"
"It's clear that he's not giving us any face at all."
"The Fang family did it on purpose."
At this critical moment, dozens of figures walked out of the palace building outside the field. All of them were wearing Tang suit, and the old man at the front had a wrinkled face and sharp eyes, almost 80% the same as Faang Dao!
I didn't even have to guess before I recognized the old man. "The Fang family's patriarch..." "Faang Sheng!"
When Faang Sheng entered the arena, the entire arena sunk into an abnormal silence. They all stood up once again and bowed with their hands clasped in greeting.
Even Pill King of Ye Family slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Brother Fang."

"Pill King has come in person and is unwelcome. Due to etiquette, we cannot reminisce with him in time. Please understand, Pill King. How about we get together again when the time comes?" Faang Sheng walked into the corridor and stood in front of Pill King with a nostalgic smile.
Pill King nodded, "That's good."
Faang Dao suddenly appeared in another place as soon as he finished speaking. He was wearing a striped dragon and a purple tree, Seven Stars Golden Silk Boots, and had three incense sticks in his hands. He walked over with an extremely serious expression.
I looked over and saw Chu Yuyan, one of the eight women.
And Chu Yuyan saw me.
They looked at each other, and it was as if they were looking through autumn water, filled with boundless longing. All of the misunderstandings seemed to have been resolved in the instant they made contact.
