Capítulo 1378: Chapter 1383: A Grand Gesture
“Hehe, you’ll soon find out who’s the re mortal…”
Xia Liu smiled faintly; Du Yan could dream of mocking him in this life.
“City Lord of Thousand chanisms City arrives!”
Just as everyone was about to speak, suddenly, a voice filled with Lei Li resonated throughout the venue.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the venue turned heavy.
The previous laziness dissipated like smoke.
The City Lord of Thousand chanisms City was, without a doubt, the most powerful person in the city.
Although he was supported by everyone.
Yet he held the greatest authority; anything important needed to go through him.
Moreover, the foundation accumulated by the City Lord’s Mansion over the years was absolutely at the peak within the city.
The City Lord, having evolved from being supported by everyone, now had subtly beco dominant.
However, the City Lord of Thousand chanisms City held no malice, otherwise, the city wouldn’t have its current scale.
Xia Liu also glanced towards a certain direction, where a gentle and weak aura was gradually approaching.
Upon nearing, it slowed down even further.
Those who had seen the City Lord knew, no matter which family’s event he participated in.
He would never fly or use his movent technique to enter.
Considered to give the others due respect.
Soon, under an archway, the silhouette of the City Lord of Thousand chanisms City finally appeared.
Not a particularly burly figure, appearing middle-aged nearing elderly.
His full head of white hair couldn’t hide his age.
If Xia Liu guessed correctly, the City Lord should be over a hundred years old.
Only preserved remarkably well, he didn’t appear too old.
A constant emanation of righteous energy from him made the whole place vibrant with vitality.
“Du Feixiong of the Du Family welcos City Lord Xue!”
“Haha, Feixiong, no need to stand on ceremony. I just returned from the Eastern Region this morning, hoping I’m not too late.”
City Lord Xue said with a friendly smile.
“Ha! City Lord Xue’s presence at our Du Family is an honor, how could there be any offense taken?”
Du Feixiong was insightful; even if waiting for three days, he wouldn’t utter a refusal to City Lord Xue.
“Has the Pill Fla Society started yet?”
“No, it hasn’t, so juniors haven’t arrived yet.”
…
Hearing Du Feixiong say so, the Du family clansn wore wry smiles.
Yet no one minded, as the visitor was the City Lord of Thousand chanisms City, it didn’t matter if they appeared unfavorably this once.
Once City Lord Xue took his seat, another announcent rang out: “Miss of Dao Guang Auction House arrives.”
Dao Guang Auction House!
Upon hearing this na, the Du family mbers grew excited.
Because a saying had long circulated within Thousand chanisms City.
The eldest daughter of Dao Guang Auction House was the number one beauty of the city.
Being part of the Du Family, they felt fortunate as the family collaborated with Dao Guang.
This gave them a greater chance of seeing Miss Qingdie than others within the city.
And today, they indeed were lucky enough to witness her!
Shortly after, Qingdie and Old Zhuang walked in through the archway.
Upon her appearance, Qingdie was imdiately hit by everyone’s gaze.
For these heated gazes, Qingdie had long grown accustod.
Upon seeing Xia Liu standing among the crowd, her enchanting smile blossod imdiately.
“Wow! The young lady smiled at !”
“Idiot! She smiled at !”
“So beautiful! How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world!”
“Oh my, she’s as beautiful as a fairy from the heavens, that smile…”
…
Seeing the infatuated expressions of the young Du family n, Xia Liu shook his head.
Little did they know, Qingdie’s smile was a signal, acknowledging his presence…
“The Du Family welcos Miss’s gracious presence.”
“Family Head Du, you’re too kind. I should have arrived earlier, but was delayed fetching so items from the warehouse.”
“Family Head Du, to express the profound cooperative friendship between the Du Family and Dao Guang, Dao Guang brings ten low-grade dicinal cauldrons this ti.”
After speaking, with a thought, Qingdie made ten differently colored cauldrons appear beneath the stage.
“A grand gesture!”
“Indeed, Dao Guang is truly magnanimous!”
“Tsk tsk! It’s truly the Du Family’s fortune to collaborate with Dao Guang Auction House!”
…
Many cultivators from within Thousand chanisms City expressed envy.
Their families also engaged in comrce, but none had the qualification to cooperate with Dao Guang.
Seeing the gifts presented by Dao Guang to its partners, it was only natural they felt envious.
As for the young Du family mbers, they had long lost their souls to Qingdie’s beauty and were unmoved by the ten cauldrons.
“Miss is too courteous, leaving our Du Family…”
“Feixiong, since Qingdie’s already presented the items, there’s no need to fuss, just accept them promptly.”
“Uncle Xue, I saw you rushing earlier, didn’t expect you’d co to the Du Family too.”
Hearing City Lord Xue speak, Qingdie quickly replied.
“Hehe, I’ve reached the age where I try to look vigorous and youthful by arriving a step ahead!”
City Lord Xue joked.
“Hehe, Uncle Xue always loves to jest.”
“Haha, enough joking around. I see the young ones below have waited long enough, let’s not keep them waiting and start sooner.”
City Lord Xue scanned the Du family juniors about to participate in the Pill Fla Society.
“Yes, yes, everyone is ready, let’s begin now.”
Du Feixiong, understanding the hint, imdiately announced the start of the Pill Fla Society.
Without cumberso performances, after the cauldrons were moved down, six Du family juniors participating stepped forward.
Xia Liu stood as the seventh, because he wasn’t part of the Du Family, he didn’t stand alongside them.
“Huh, why isn’t that young man stepping forward?”
City Lord Xue looked at Xia Liu, asking curiously.
“City Lord Xue, to be honest, that young man was a re mortal picked up by the previous Young Master from outside. Before you arrived, he clamored to join the Pill Fla Society; I and Feixiong gave in and approved it.”
“The previous Young Master, is it Du Yu?”
City Lord Xue glanced at Du Yu’s position and, with a smile, asked.
“Yes, since Du Yu’s cultivation regressed, the title of Young Master was stripped; he’s now only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation and possibly can’t even condense the Pill Fla.”
Du En squinted slightly, speaking with bitterness.
“Only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation? Great Elder, are you sure? That’s indeed Du Yu, isn’t it?”
City Lord Xue pointed at Du Yu, inquiring.
“Yes, standing beside Du Yu is my son, Du Yun. Since Du Yu’s cultivation regressed, he has vaguely erged as the leader among the young generation. With more effort, he is extrely likely to beco the next Family Head.”
Du En paid no mind to Xia Liu, speaking of Du Yun with great pride.
“Great Elder, although Du Yun’s cultivation is quite good, at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, Du Yu clearly has a cultivation at the ninth level. How could you say his cultivation regressed?”
City Lord Xue looked at Du En with disbelief; before coming here, he had heard about Du Yu’s situation.
But preoccupied with affairs, he had never co to the Du family to check.
Today, intending to verify, he found Du Yu seed perfectly fine?
And observing his firm and resolute deanor, he appeared to possess more potential than the others his age.
