Chapter 82: The Engagement Banquet

  "Yèr, has your injury healed?" Officer Xiang couldn't wait to ask as soon as she entered the room.

  "How did you know?" Two eyes stared, weren't the two elders supposed to be keeping it from Erlang?

  "With such a big thing happening, how could I not know? Now that your parents are no longer around, you're not the same as before. During the time you were away, you frequently attended various banquets. Two months ago, your stunning achievement of beheading the three great sect masters had already spread throughout the entire Qingxia realm! Such a thing, even if the family wanted to hide it, they couldn't!"

  Shangguan Xia explained it once, and Cang Ye understood as well.

  Although Qingxia Sect is a giant martial sect, its connections with those empires are still very close. Not to mention the disciples of imperial clans within the sect, there are also many who serve as guest officials for some families outside the sect. And his battle that killed three great masters was so shocking. The sect did not cover it up, and these people knew it was a matter of course.

  "Mother, I'm fine now. With the Medicine Emperor personally taking action, what can't be cured in this world?" As soon as the Medicine Emperor was mentioned, both Cang Yun and his wife felt at ease. After all, they had witnessed his level of expertise before. Although they didn't know that the old man was the strongest existence in this realm during the treatment, it was impossible to keep it a secret after the Medicine Emperor left.

  It wasn't until then that Cang Yun and the others realized that for the sake of their child, even the legendary, peerless overlords who ruled the entire world had been invited!

  Sitting in the room chatting with her parents for a while, Cang Ye's mind began to wander.

  Cangyun and Shangguan Xia exchanged a smile.

  "Ling is a good girl, think of her and go find her!"

  Hearing her parents' words, Cang Ye couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

  Learned from children's movements, scratched his head, and finally walked out of the room.

  In front of the Yu's house.

  Cang Ye looked at the ancient gate that had been precipitating for years, thinking of half a year ago, when they parted ways, Yu Ling's shy smile. The impulse in his heart grew stronger.

  In his past life, he didn't have any romantic relationships. In this life, up until now, he only acknowledged Yuling as the one person. Therefore, in his heart, Yuling was equivalent to a first love that spanned two lifetimes.

  "This young man, would you mind helping me pass on a message? Just say..." Because he was used to being alone, he didn't bring any attendants with him this time. However, at this moment, he couldn't just rush in without courtesy either. Happening to see a guard at the door, Cang Ye didn't hesitate and went up to talk to him.

  "Oh dear, Master Gao, you're back! Come in quickly, I'll go inform the young lady right away..." Before he could even finish speaking, this guard had already recognized him.

  "Alright, alright, thank you. Since we've all recognized each other, there's no need to be so formal anymore. Following the guards' lead, they walked towards the grand hall."

  The last time I came here, because I was worried about Yu Ling, I didn't even look at the Yu family's mansion all the way. This time, I finally got to take a good look.

  Compared to the Cang family, although the Cang family is one rank higher than the Yu family in terms of family ranking. However, the Yu family's architecture is even more magnificent. In fact, this is also due to the depth of their heritage.

  Although the Cang family is powerful, after all, it's just a family that rose to prominence in the past thousand years or so. The Yu family is different, however. It's said that this family has existed for many, many years. As for exactly how long, even they don't know.

  Legend has it that the ancestors of the Feather family were once attendants to an ancient goddess. Later, when a great calamity befell heaven and earth, countless divine spirits fell, including the goddess served by the Feather family's ancestor. However, before disappearing, she merged her own bloodline into the body of the Feather family's old ancestor. From then on, this family possessed boundless divine power, and every thousand years, a genius would appear to lead the Feather family to glory.

  Of course, these are just some unreliable legends. The so-called divine spirits are just a group of super strong people. Moreover, in Cang Ye's mind, there doesn't seem to be any impression that a strong person can trigger the bloodline across generations.

  Before hearing this, he just smiled slightly. Legends can only be legends after all. It's said that the blood flowing through the veins of the Cang family is that of the ancient Supreme War God!

  But their family only rose a thousand years ago! Such talk is just to add a bit of mystery and nobility to themselves.

  Before long, the two of them arrived in the great hall. The guard who had brought them then went off to report to someone in the back.

  Cang Ye sat on the lower seat, and before he could even take a sip of tea, he saw the master of the Yu family, Yu Tong, walk in.

  It's worth noting that since the Cyan Night Sword cut down the three sects, his current status is not comparable to ordinary people. Even the master of the empire might not have any airs in front of Cyan Night!

  The country's leader can be replaced, but a genius like Cang Ye, there is only one!

  "Uncle Tō." Seeing Udō enter the hall, Sōya hastily stood up. His impression of Udō was still quite good. After all, before his own abilities were exposed, this family head seemed to have been very supportive of him.

  "Yè ér ah, when are you coming back? How is it, has the injury improved?" The front was still a loud greeting, but the back suddenly lowered its tone. As if afraid of being heard by others.

  In fact, in Yu's household, the one who feared knowing this news was none other than Yu Ling herself.

  "Back to Uncle Bo, has recovered. Master Shu's uncle personally took action. What reason is there for not recovering?" Hearing Cang Ye's words, Yu Tong also put his mind at ease. Being able to establish a relationship with this young man who has a great future ahead of him is indeed a great opportunity for the Yu family. So, when he heard that Cang Ye was seriously injured and in critical condition, he was also very anxious. Now that he heard he had recovered, his mood naturally became even more pleasant.

  "Alright, it's settled then. When Ling'er comes later, don't tell her about your injury, okay? Everyone is keeping this from her."

  Cang Ye nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

  "Brother Ye is back!" As soon as the two voices fell, Yu Ling rushed into the hall. Seeing Cang Ye standing there, she didn't even care that there were people in the hall and directly threw herself into his arms.

  Stroking the back of Yu Ling, Cang Ye couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion.

  At the moment that sword was unleashed, it had already exceeded his maximum capacity, a life-or-death blow. In that instant, he thought of many things, including those warm moments with Yueling. Cangye discovered that in this lifetime, he really didn't want to lose another loved one. At the moment the sword was swung, he forgot about the past, forgot about the future. But the obsession in his heart could never be forgotten! Finally, the decisive blow that determined life or death, he won...

  "Brother Ye, are you okay?" The murmured voice was barely audible to the two of them. Cang Ye's hand, which was stroking Yu Ling's younger brother's hand, stiffened slightly.

  Yes, both parents know about it, no reason she doesn't know!

  She drew Lingyu into her arms and nodded slightly in a way she could feel.

  Everything is in silence.

  Seeing the two people revealing their emotions in the hall, Yudou tactfully withdrew from the hall, leaving this space to the two of them.

  There were countless topics between the two of them. Before they knew it, the sun had already set in the west.

  Upon seeing Uta entering, Utsuro chose to avoid her. Because what they were about to discuss wasn't suitable for her to be present.

  After discussing for a while, they finally decided to hold the engagement banquet three days later.

  Such a situation should not have been decided by the parties directly. But who made him so powerful? Apart from Cang Ye's parents, no one in the Cang family dared to make decisions on his own. And Cang Yun and Shangguan Xia wouldn't interfere either, everything was up to Cang Ye himself, that's why there was the scene just now.

  After making up his mind, he refused Yū's desperate attempts to persuade him to stay and left the Yū household. He then began sending out invitations, inviting old friends to gather together.

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

  After three days of busy work, the Cang family finally prepared everything they needed.

  Because of this engagement, the entire Cang family can be said to have come out in full force. So everyone who could move participated, without mentioning the great significance of the marriage between the two families, just Cang Ye's identity alone is not something they dare to neglect!

  If it's a grand wedding for the emperor, then the entire empire should be celebrating together. At this time, Cang Ye's identity absolutely surpasses that of a mere passerby! How can he not make an official appearance?

  Watching these people coming and going, the joyful expression on Cang Yun's face never faded.

  Back then, even when he was still a wealthy and powerful man, these people were high-society figures that he could only look up to but not invite over. Now? They can only lower their posture in front of him. All of this is because of his son, who makes him incredibly proud!

  Turning his head, he took a look at his son who was wearing a big red robe with a gloomy face, and Chongyang's eyes were filled with endless comfort.

  "Congratulations, young master!" As soon as the person in front of him arrived, all the people around who were offering congratulations automatically made way for a circle.

  This majestic middle-aged man was none other than Lin Yifan, the current head of the Lin family, one of the four major families of the Yan Tian Empire.

  Cang Yun didn't expect that this person would also rush over. As for him, he naturally couldn't be as arrogant as he was with the others, and hastily called out to Cang Ye who was standing off to the side, looking rather awkward.

  "Come, Yezi. I've seen your Uncle Lin."

  When he heard his father's summons, Cang Ye reluctantly walked over. As for the patriarch of this worldly family, he really didn't care about him at all. To say nothing of just being the patriarch of the Lin family, even if the emperor himself came, according to his identity, he wouldn't have the obligation to stand up and welcome him. It's just that Father still couldn't let go. He had never gotten used to the change in his child's status.

  But it doesn't matter anyway. I'll be leaving soon. I'll just pretend to be a reasonable junior for now!

  "Have seen Uncle Lin." Cang Ye made a slight bow, showing some respect. Before he could even open his mouth, Lin Yifan had already come over to help him up.

  Others may not know the background of Cang Ye, but he does!

  After that shocking war broke out, Qingxia Sect actually descended with a total of 15 Unsurpassables!

  A Supreme Spirit King can sweep across the entire empire, a Supreme Emperor can roam freely among the seven great empires! And behind him are fifteen of them standing in a row!

  Furthermore, he also saw the site of the final battle that his younger brother had spoken of. Such a terrifying destruction, if the young man in front of him was willing, he could even erase the entire imperial capital from the world in an instant!

  Such a strong man bows to himself, how can he bear it!

  In this world, strength is the standard that determines everything. Outside of strength, everything else is just a fleeting illusion. Others will only value how strong you are, and won't care about how much wealth or high social status you have.

  "Father, Uncle Lin, I'll go to the room to tidy up my clothes first." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cang Ye still felt that this set of clothes was very uncomfortable. He said something to his father and then went in to tidy up.
