Chapter 1664: Chapter 1696: Occupied by the Wu Clan
On the upper floor of the pavilion.
Li Xiaobai and Wu Dazhuang ascended to a suite at the end of the second floor. The identities of the two Wu Clan clan leaders were quite intimidating. Although it was not an upper room, the layout of the room and the beautiful view from the window were not inferior to an upper room.
“Miss Qiu is thoughtful indeed.”
Wu Dazhuang looked very satisfied and waved off the attendant.
“The elder truly knows how to enjoy life. This place is quite pleasing to the eyes.”
Li Xiaobai praised.
“Hahaha, indeed it’s pleasing, but unfortunately not an upper room. An upper room cos with a separate courtyard. The one I always stay in is even more delightful with pavilions, terraces, bridges, and flowing water, truly enjoyable.”
“I wonder which lucky person took up my usual room this ti.”
Wu Dazhuang’s expression turned sour. The thought of soone else occupying his exclusive suite made him uneasy, hoping it was an Immortal and not so rough giant.
“The Forbidden Area’s Child from the Land of the Dead has arrived in the Abyssal Domain this ti; I’m afraid it won’t be easy to make a move, will it?”
Li Xiaobai got straight to the point. He certainly didn’t believe this old man was here rely for sightseeing; there must be so ulterior motive.
“What are you saying? With my ager skills, how could I interfere in Qin Tian’s affairs? He’s the master of a domain. Just catching a glimpse of the prowess of various experts is already quite satisfying.”
Wu Dazhuang laughed softly.
“Knock knock knock.”
Before they even settled in, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of a maid ca in.
“Honored guests, my young mistress requests your presence at the top floor of the Abyssal Pavilion.”
“Who is your young mistress?”
Li Xiaobai opened the door, and a faint, elegant fragrance drifted into the room. The maid before him was beautiful as a painting, with cherry lips, rosy cheeks, almond eyes, and arching brows, embodying the grace of a noblewoman – yet she was only a maid.
“To report to you, my young mistress is nad Qin Xiufang, the eldest daughter of the Qin Family.”
“Upon hearing that the clan leaders of the Wu Clan have co, she specially invites you. The pavilion is full of young talents, and many older experts too; I’m sure they would be delighted to see the experts of the Wu Clan.”
The maid curtsied slightly, speaking with utmost courtesy.
“An invitation from the Qin Family’s young mistress, we should indeed take a look. Maybe we might even witness a romantic match!”
Wu Dazhuang patted Li Xiaobai’s shoulder, and the two, an elder and a youngster, walked arm in arm upstairs.
“The elder is truly youthful at heart…”
…
Top floor, an elegant suite.
Li Xiaobai saw the courtyard Wu Dazhuang had ntioned earlier, vast beyond asure, hard to imagine housed in a pavilion structure.
Pavilions and terraces, bridges and flowing water, a woman in white sat gracefully in an old pavilion, softly strumming a zither, its lingering notes lodic.
The banks of the surrounding stream were filled with young cultivators, mostly young talents from various forces.
Among them, he saw several familiar faces, other branch clan leaders of the Wu Clan.
“The presence of the Wu Clan’s branch leaders is such an honor, forgive the lack of a proper welco. Upon hearing that two Wu Clan leaders had co to the Abyssal Pavilion, I specifically invited you to admire your esteed presence!”
In the pavilion, the young woman in a white dress hid her smile with her hand, causing the surrounding blossoms to pale in comparison.
Her figure was graceful and enchanting, her eyes gazing tenderly, captivating all who beheld her.
The young talents by the riverbank were in a daze; this woman was breathtakingly beautiful.
“So it’s the Wu Clan’s seniors, no wonder the Qin Family’s young mistress extended such a warm invitation; I am Qin Ming of the Qin Family, honored to et you both.”
A young cultivator nearest to the bank stood, cupping his fist in salute.
This was the young master of the Qin Family, one of Qin Xiufang’s ardent suitors, and those disciples encountered earlier on the stairs were his minions.
“Young Qin has grown, several years ago you only reached my chest, now you stand a head taller than !”
Wu Dazhuang nodded, his face full of kind and gentle expression.
“To be rembered by an elder is an honor for this junior.”
Qin Ming replied modestly, his gaze inadvertently swept over Li Xiaobai, the young man accompanying this Wu clan leader must also not be simple.
“Young Qin, have a seat.”
Noticing the glance, Li Xiaobai waved his hand, speaking with the authority of an elder, his deanor purely that of an older relative embracing the younger.
For a mont, Qin Ming was stiff in place; among peers, soone dared speak to him this way?
“Today, inviting you all here was due to my daughter’s forwardness, hoping her slight talent could earn your recognition.”
“Giving this face to my daughter, she is truly grateful.”
Qin Xiufang’s lips parted slightly, her words fragrant.
“Immortal Qin, you are too modest! Witnessing your grace today is an honor for us.”
The cultivators grinned, being able to witness Immortal Qin’s smile, they felt no regrets in life.
“I heard soone in the city tore down the matchmaking notice of Immortal Qin, perhaps it is this Wu Clan friend?”
A cultivator beside Qin Ming stood up, looking at Li Xiaobai and asked.
This person bore so resemblance to Qin Ming, likely a family mber.
“It’s .”
Li Xiaobai nodded.
“Tearing down the notice is tantamount to declaring war on all the young talents of the city. Even the Forbidden Area’s Child wouldn’t act so. Surely you consider your cultivation level unrivaled among peers, why not take this chance to spar with us?”
The person spoke coldly, his eyes emitting two beams of icy light, locking onto Li Xiaobai.
“I do not fight with juniors.”
“Have your Family Head co speak with .”
Li Xiaobai said lightly, flicking his hand, and the identity token of the Wu Clan leader fell.
Kidding, who doesn’t know how to flaunt? Now, as a clan leader, how could he lower himself to the level of this junior?
The place fell silent.
The young talents’ eyes widened with disbelief.
This young man is actually the Wu Clan leader!
How could it be, so young, how did he beco the clan leader, could he be so expert disguised as a young man?
“Cough cough, I am Qin Hao, an elder of the Qin Family, my disciples were impertinent, I beg my friend’s pardon.”
A middle-aged man rose from the crowd, politely greeting with cupped hands, treating him as an equal.
“The Qin Family’s disciples are all passionate individuals, I admire that.”
Li Xiaobai nodded, speaking a lukewarm phrase, still in the stance of an elder, making the Qin family disciples present feel uncomfortable.
“Even for the Wu Clan leader, tearing down the notice at will, what will people think? They will suspect your Wu Clan harbors ambitions towards the Abyssal Domain!”
Soone spoke, their voice hidden in the crowd, untraceable.
But in the next second, a brightly clothed young man in red exploded, blood splattering on the spot.
“Ah, I also tore it down. The Immortal’s grace is extraordinary, I couldn’t resist.”
Wu Dazhuang was full of kindness, but seeing his blood-soaked hands made it hard for people to feel close.
“Isn’t it just a notice? Why can’t it be taken down?”
“I have one here.”
“A marriage alliance between the Wu and Qin families, why not?”
A black-robed person nearby spoke in a hoarse voice. Li Xiaobai imdiately recognized him as Wu Tianchou, the clan leader who invited him to the Abyssal Domain gathering.
In a corner, another black-robed person also spoke, saying faintly, “I also tore it down; what hero doesn’t dream of winning a beauty’s heart?”
“Or do you think, as a branch clan leader of the Wu Clan, my identity is unfit?”
