Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies Chapter 409 19 Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival

```

Su San respectfully said, "Everything is almost ready. We're just verifying the seating nas and arranging them."

In such large gatherings, many detailed issues have to be considered.

Particularly, the seating arrangent is of utmost importance.

If, by any chance, a humble person is placed in a prominent position, they will surely feel like sitting on pins and needles, at a loss. Likewise, if a noble person is demoted to a humble position, they will inevitably feel resentful and indignant.

Consequently, such a well-intentioned banquet would deviate from its purpose, adding countless rifts and unnecessary troubles.

This Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival is organized in the na of Princess Yuzhen.

Princess Yuzhen usually likes to make friends and values her reputation. If such an incident occurs, it will certainly anger her, and in severe cases, those responsible may even risk their lives.

Su Qiaoqiao naturally understood this principle and raised her eyes slightly.

Su San, being very observant, took the already drafted list and respectfully presented it with both hands, saying, "Miss, this is our initial draft of the list. Please have a look."

Su Qiaoqiao took the list and carefully examined the seating arrangent for this Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival.

"Cui Mingxuan's position seems sowhat remote. He has recently received a proposal from the Wang Family and has also broken through to the Innate level in cultivation. His status is now different and should move forward by two seats," Su Qiaoqiao said softly, her fingers lightly sliding over the list.

Su San quickly took out paper and pen, noting it carefully.

"What about Xie Wanqing?" Su Qiaoqiao continued to ask, her eyes scanning the next na, "Her position should also be adjusted upward. After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Xie Family and is extraordinarily talented. We cannot neglect her. Move her up by three seats."

"Zhao Yuanlang's position..." Su Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, "This person has so talent in cultivation but is too ostentatious. His status in the Zhao Family is not high and he hasn't even secured a minor official position, so move him down by one seat."

"As for Li Yi..." Su Qiaoqiao pondered for a mont, "Although he cos from a noble family, his recent reputation is not good, and there are rumors of a rift with Miss Zhang. To avoid embarrassnt, place him farther away from the Zhang Family, moving him down two seats."

"What about Miss Zhang, Zhang Qingying?" Su San interjected, "She was quite favored by the Princess last year. Should she be given a higher position?"

"Of course," Su Qiaoqiao nodded, "Zhang Qingying's cultivation is outstanding, and I heard she has made so breakthroughs recently. Her father even plans to secure a position for her in the Capital, so move her to the front row to speak with the Princess."

Su San nodded in agreent, noting it carefully.

Su Qiaoqiao continued reviewing the list, making slight adjustnts from ti to ti.

Suddenly, her gaze settled on a familiar na.

"Huang Furo..." she murmured, frowning slightly, "I rember the Huangfu family has long ceased to exist. How co they're on the list this ti?"

Su San explained, "There are still so descendants of the Huangfu family residing in Yongzhou. So days ago, they were personally summoned back to the Capital by Your Majesty to join the Mountain Sea Departnt, responsible for Spirit Essence matters."

"What is Huang Furo's cultivation now?"

"She is at the Dan Realm."

"How old is she?"

"Twenty-two."

"In that case, she still has potential, but most of the elders in the Huangfu family have either left or passed away. It's difficult for her to make a coback. Move her position down by five seats."

This ant her position was second to last, and Shen san quickly noted it down.

"Is there anything else to confirm?"

"Indeed, there is." Su San quickly pointed to a na and said, "There's also this Shen Qing."

"Shen Qing?" Su Qiaoqiao felt unfamiliar with the na. According to reason, she should have so impression of the notable young people in the Capital, "What is his background? Is there a big family with the surna Shen in the Capital?"

Su San promptly introduced respectfully, "This person entered the temple thanks to the Jing Luan Assembly. Originally, he was a hunter and has served as the Chief Officer in Yongzhou. His participation in Princess Yuzhen's Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival this ti was only made possible by Huang Furo pulling so strings and paying a price."

"So, a connection, right?"

Such situations happen every year and Su Qiaoqiao was long accustod to them. She nonchalantly said, "Then lower his seat together with Huang Furo."

"Understood."

Su Qiaoqiao continued reviewing the list, making slight adjustnts from ti to ti.

Suddenly, her gaze settled on a familiar na.

"Su Zimo..." she murmured, carrying a bit of personal sentint, "Although he is a Su Family mber, he has been low-profile recently, and his talents in cultivation are quite good. It's his first participation so he should be encouraged. Move him up five seats, close to ."

"I have also heard of Lord Su's great reputation," Su San chid in, using an appreciative tone, "He is modest and exceptionally talented. It's fitting for him to sit in this position."

Su Qiaoqiao smiled faintly, finding great satisfaction in Su San's evaluation.

She continued reviewing the list, swiftly confirming the seating for each na.

…

anwhile, Shen Qing's carriage arrived at Beihai Pier, stopping beneath the lavish ship.

"Boss, we have arrived."

Shen Qing, seated inside, opened his eyes, grunted softly, and then stepped out of the carriage.

Looking at the bustling pier, almost like a grand fair, Shen Qing was a bit surprised.

He hadn't expected the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival to be such a grand affair.

At this mont, he spotted a familiar figure.

It was Huang Furo.

She was now dressed in her customary white garb, with a black silk belt adorned with a jade gem tightly fastened around her waist, outlining her willow-like waist and prominent bust, adding a touch of indescribable allure.

After arranging his carriage with Tian Xiaohu, Shen Qing stepped forward and greeted, "Officer Huangfu."

Upon seeing Shen Qing, Huang Furo smiled and said, "Officer Shen, what a coincidence."

"Indeed, I didn't expect to see you just as I arrived."

A sly smile flicked across Huang Furo's eyes, but she spoke as usual, "Let's go in together. It's still early, just in ti to take a stroll."

"Sure."

The two walked side by side towards the enormous ship.

At the entrance, armored guards stood by. Shen Qing and Huang Furo presented their invitations before being granted entry.

Inside, rows of exquisite tea tables and carved wooden chairs were arranged neatly. So seats were already occupied.

Various pots of differently shaped chrysanthemums adorned the tables, interspersed with rolls of poetry and calligraphy. Attendees sat around, speaking in hushed tones, awaiting the start of the banquet.

"Co, let's head to the upper deck; the view is better there," Huang Furo suggested, pointing upward.

They passed through winding corridors and exquisite cabin doors, reaching a more expansive open deck.

This area had a unique charm, with larger and more luxurious tea tables and seats, surrounded by uniformly dressed servants standing by.

Those with higher status appreciated the view from a pavilion on the deck.

Shen Qing and Huang Furo walked to one side of the deck. Looking out, they saw Beihai Lake stretching endlessly, almost like the sea.

It was hard to imagine such a sight was the result of a single punch.
