1083: C1083 Welcome to the Banquet

C1083 Welcome to the Banquet

One must know that Nalan Yanran was already half a step into the Saint Realm. She still had a high chance of breaking through to the Saint Realm.

At that time, she wouldn't even be a hundred years old when she broke through to the Saint level. Her ranking on the Genius rankings would also have a lot of room for improvement.

Maybe she would even be able to enter the top fifty.

Many cultivators knew it. That was why they always showed respect to Nalan Mingyue.

"How dare you! Who told you to beat someone in my house?"

Nalan Mingyue coldly looked at the servant of the Yang Family. A mere servant actually didn't know what was good for him.

The servant of the Yang family shrank his neck and said timidly, "I... I know I was wrong."

Although he wasn't willing, he knew that even if his master wanted to protect him, he wouldn't be able to gain anything.

"It's fine as long as you know your mistake?" Nalan Mingyue's eyes were cold as she said, "Do you know that you're making me very angry right now?"

The servant of the Yang Family was at a loss for words. He knew that Nalan Ming Zhu was angry. If he said more, it would only make Nalan Mingyue angrier. That would only make Nalan Mingyue angrier.

The servant of the Yang Family chose to be silent, but he was very unwilling in his heart.

He glanced at Ling Jian and bore a grudge against him.

"Are you alright?"

Ignoring Yang An, Nalan Mingyue looked at Ling Jian and asked.

"Damn it! I'll definitely kill you after you leave the Nalan Family."

The servants of the Yang Family couldn't help but feel unhappy for their young master when they saw how much Nalan Mingyue cared about Ling Jian.

Furthermore, he could feel that he seemed to have offended Nalan Mingyue after this incident. This was something he didn't want to accept.

"Mingyue, calm down."

At this moment, Yang An could not help but open his mouth and speak. Nalan Ming Zhu's actions earlier had also made him unhappy.

Nalan Mingyue frowned. Only then did she look at Yang An and say, "Your injuries should have more or less recovered, right?"

"It's fine, there's no problem." Yang An smiled and revealed his white teeth.

"That's good." Nalan Mingyue only nodded her head.

She knew that the Yang family's actions were probably related to Yang An.

However, she couldn't blame Yang An.

Back in the desolate forest, if it wasn't for Yang An blocking the beast attacks for her, she would be severely injured even if she didn't die.

Furthermore, Yang An was heavily injured. If it wasn't for Ling Jian's flying boat sending him back in time, Yang An would probably be dead by now.

Nalan Mingyue was too embarrassed to say anything about saving Yang An's life.

"Mingyue, I think it's a misunderstanding. I came here to see my savior."

Yang An smiled and said.

Nalan Mingzhu slightly furrowed her eyebrows, but she didn't mind.

"That's good."

"That's indeed the case." Yang An also lowered his attitude. It was completely different from the arrogance he had when he went to see Ling Jian.

However, although Nalan Mingyue had some doubts, she didn't take it to heart.

"That's right, Mingyue, you should know about what happened tonight, right?" Yang An changed the topic and said, "My brother and sister Yanran are coming back soon. We will prepare a banquet for them tonight and treat it as a celebration."

Being the number one genius of the eastern city, Nalan Yanran was actually much younger than Yang An.

However, in this world where the strong were respected, even though Yang An was obviously older, he did not dare to call Nalan Yanran sister.

"Celebrating party?" Nalan Mingyue frowned. She really did not know.

"Where is the Celebrating Party?" Nalan Mingyue asked.

"In the Cloud Sea Lake," Yang An replied with a smile.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go over with a wave of my hand."

Nalan Mingyue nodded her head and said.

The Cloudy Sea Lake was the largest lake in the east of the city. It took up a lot of space, but the water in the lake was full of spiritual power. It was a perfect place to cultivate.

The Cloud Ocean Lake in the evening was also a good place for cultivation.

"That's right, Mingyue, let's bring Young Master Ling along tonight as well," Yang An suddenly said as he looked deeply at Ling Jian.

Nalan Mingyue frowned. She instinctively felt that Yang An didn't have good intentions, but at this moment, Yang An spoke. Miss Mingyue, I don't mean anything else. Young Master Ling has saved our lives, and now that she has come to the Grand Middle Heaven, it would be good for him if he, a cultivator of the East Heaven, could make more friends in the future."

Instantly, Nalan Mingyue started to hesitate. She was protecting Ling Jian because he was a cultivator of the East Sky.

"Ling Jian, what do you think?"

Nalan Mingyue looked at Ling Jian and asked. She couldn't make the decision for this matter. It had to be decided by Ling Jian.

"The banquet should be very lively. I'll go as well."

Ling Jian nodded his head and didn't put it to heart. At the same time, he also wanted to see the geniuses of the easternmost region.

"Ok, then come with me tonight."

Nalan Mingyue smiled but didn't take Ling Jian's safety to heart.

After all, other than her, her sister Nalan Yanran was also present tonight. It was likely that no one would be blind enough to provoke Ling Jian.

After all, Nalan Yanran was the number one genius of the entire eastern city.

After confirming that Ling Jian would head to the Misty Cloud Lake, Yang An left with his subordinates.

Only Ling Jian and Nalan Mingyue were left in the room.

Nalan Mingyue looked at Ling Jian with a solemn expression.

Nalan Mingyue's expression was solemn as she said, "Tonight's welcoming banquet shouldn't be too simple, but you should be able to listen to me when the time comes."

Nalan Mingyue was a little worried about this.

Ling Jian's identity was too unique.

If Ling Jian was a cultivator of the Middle Sky, it wouldn't matter if he was weak.

However, he was a cultivator of the East Sky.

In the sixteen days of the central region, other than the Grand Spirit Sky that couldn't cultivate, the Eastern Tai Tian was one of the five great Grand Sky Cultivation Schools. However, for the cultivators of the Grand Middle Sky, they had always considered themselves to be the cultivators of the sixteen central regions. They didn't have much recognition for the Grand Sky Cultivators outside of the Grand Middle Sky.

Furthermore, Ling Jian had a flying boat on him, so she was worried that Zhao Qiansong and the others would purposely make things difficult for Ling Jian at the welcoming banquet tonight.

"Remember, you have to listen to me at tonight's banquet. Even if others are looking for trouble, you can't talk back. No, you can't even talk back, understand?"

Nalan Mingyue said to Ling Jian.

Ling Jian nodded. Although he didn't take Nalan Mingyue's words to heart, he knew that Nalan Mingyue was being nice to him, so he agreed.

Seeing Ling Jian like this, Nalan Mingyue turned around and left in satisfaction.

...

Soon, it was evening.

Under the night sky, the Cloud Sea Lake was filled with lanterns and bright light pendants hung all around.

On the surface of the lake, many ships were shuttling back and forth.

On both sides of the lake, there were tables and chairs. On the tables, there were spiritual drinks, fruits, and ingredients.

Especially the spiritual ingredients. Every single one of them was made from good materials, and the rarest of them was something that even a true saint would not dare to claim to be able to eat and drink.

Of course, it wasn't without a reason.

It was the welcome party tonight.

In order to make the welcoming banquet even grander, the entire Cloud Sea Lake had been booked. Only those young masters could enter.

For ordinary cultivators, they could only watch from outside the lake. If they wanted to enter the lake, they could only fantasize about it.

At night, in the Nalan Family.

Nalan Mingyue had also finished packing and was ready to head toward the Cloud Sea Lake.

As the daughter of the Nalan clan and the sister of Nalan Yanran, Nalan Mingyue's trip was naturally very unusual. This time, she was going to a grand banquet, so her trip was a spiritual beast carriage.

Accompanying Nalan Ming Zhu on this trip were the servants of the Nalan clan. These servants could only follow behind the spiritual beast carriage.

Ling Jian was not a member of the Nalan family, and he was also an outsider brought here by Nalan Mingyue. Naturally, he could not sit in the carriage, but instead, he followed the members of the Nalan family.

As these clansmen walked, they cast astonished gazes at Ling Jian.

They didn't know who Ling Jian was at the beginning. They only knew that he was brought back by Nalan Mingyue.

However, now that Ling Jian had lived in the Nalan family for a long time, they knew about the East Sky.

Moreover, they had naturally heard of the fact that Ling Jian possessed a treasure like the flying boat. And now, they also knew that Ling Jian had almost died because of the treasure and had been left behind by Nalan Ming Zhu.

"This news is really good luck. I didn't expect to obtain the protection of Miss Nalan Mingyue."

"His luck is indeed good, but his cultivation is too low. He is too bold to come to the Grand Middle Sky from the East."

"She was lucky enough to come to the easternmost part of the city, but her cultivation level is too low, and she has many treasures with her. The easternmost part of the city is only near the middle of the sky, and even if he doesn't die in the easternmost part, he will die somewhere else in the middle of the sky."

...

Everyone in the group was talking about Ling Jian.

However, Ling Jian didn't care about it at all.

And because of Nalan Ming Zhu, even though these people from the Nalan Clan were discussing Ling Jian, none of them dared to question Ling Jian. They were afraid of offending Miss Ming Yue because of this matter.

Although their speed wasn't very fast, they still arrived at the Cloudsea Lake before the welcoming banquet began.

At this time, most of the young masters in the Cloudsea Lake had already arrived. When they sensed Nalan Mingyue's arrival, they all went to greet her at the first possible moment.

After all, although the status of the young masters present was not weak, Nalan Mingyue was the daughter of the Nalan clan head and the younger sister of Nalan Yanran. This status was sufficient to allow her to receive the treatment of being the moon surrounded by stars.

"Mingyue, you have finally come."

The group of people appeared in front of Nalan Mingyue. Zhao Qiansong, Yang An, and Wang Lianshan were the first to speak, while the rest of the young masters made way for her and didn't dare to block her path.

The Yang Clan, the Yang Clan, and the Zhao Clan were all powerful cultivation clans in the east of the city. Although there were a lot of young masters and young men in the banquet tonight, only these clans were the biggest.

Nalan Mingyue responded to everyone's greeting one by one. Soon, she walked together with Wang Lian Shan and the others.

Ling Jian had also entered the banquet because many gazes did not pay attention to Ling Jian at the beginning. However, many gazes quickly noticed Ling Jian's figure.

"He is Ling Jian?"

"Looking at his cultivation, he is only at the late stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm. He must be Ling Jian."

"I heard that he comes from the East Sky."

"He is already in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Realm at such a young age. He should be a genius in the East Sky, right?"

"Hmph, even if he's a genius, he's just a genius from the East Sky. If a genius from the East Sky comes to the Middle Sky, he's probably nothing. Furthermore, this brat doesn't know what's good for him and he has a flying boat on him. He'll die in the Middle Sky sooner or later."

...

Many amused eyes and voices came from the banquet hall.

There were many young masters who had come to attend the banquet. However, under such circumstances, no one was willing to walk together with Ling Jian.

However, it didn't last long. Soon, they saw a figure walking over to Ling Jian.

Ling Jian wasn't a stranger to this man either. It was Yang An who was heading to the Nalan Clan during the day.

At this moment, following Yang An's actions, the gazes of the crowd once again turned to Ling Jian, and some occasionally landed on Yang An.

Under everybody's eyes, Ling Jian was just calm.

Yang An was also looking at Ling Jian. He quickly walked towards Ling Jian. There was a moment of silence before he revealed a smile to Ling Jian in front of everyone's gazes.

Many of the young masters present were quite surprised. They did not expect that Yang An would actually do such a thing.

After all, in their eyes, Ling Jian was only a cultivator from the East Sky, and his cultivation was only at the late stages of the Heavenly Judgment Realm. However, Yang An was different. As the son of the head of the Yang Family, his cultivation had also reached the half-step Saint level.

Not far away, Zhao Qiansong was also smiling as he looked at Yang An and Ling Jian. A weird light flashed in his eyes.

"Young Master Ling Jian, thank you for saving my life in the desolate forest."

Yang An gave Ling Jian a friendly smile and cupped his fists at the same time. This attitude surprised the young master who didn't know anything.

Ling Jian merely glanced at Yang An and said, "It was nothing. It's not worth mentioning."2

The corner of Yang An's eyes twitched. He didn't like Ling Jian's indifferent attitude.

He glanced at Ling Jian and ignored him. He turned around and started to introduce, "I would like to introduce a friend to you. This young master Ling is a cultivator from the East Sky. Not long ago, I was in danger in the forest and was saved by this young brother's flying boat."

Yang An had a faint smile on his face from the beginning to the end, as if he really intended to introduce Ling Jian to everyone.

However, all of the young masters present were like foxes, and they soon understood the meaning behind Yang An's words.

Yang An's words also contained something they were interested in.

On one hand, Ling Jian came from the East Sky.

On the other hand, Ling Jian had a flying ship.

These two reasons were the main reasons why Ling Jian was able to attract the attention of others.

Nalan Mingyue's eyebrows furrowed. She obviously knew what Yang An meant, but just as she was about to scold him, she heard a voice.

"Mingyue, let Brother Yang An continue. It's not worth it for an outsider."

Zhao Qiansong said with a smile as if he sensed that Nalan Mingyue was about to speak.

"That's right. Tonight's matter is only to let Ling Jian experience more of the world. As for you, we will not attack him."

Not far away, Wang Lian Shan also said with a smile.

Nalan Mingyue looked at Wang Lanshan, then at Zhao Qiansong, and finally shook her head helplessly.

Although her status wasn't normal, both Zhao Qiansong and Wang Qianshan's statuses weren't any weaker than his.

Moreover, his cultivation was only at the peak of the Heavenly Dao. Both Wang Lingshan and Zhao Qiansong were half-step Saints. Even though she had a sister like Nalan Yanran behind her, she didn't want to make things awkward.

More importantly, what they said wasn't completely unreasonable.

Ling Jian was an outsider after all.

Even though she could save Ling Jian, he couldn't stay under her protection forever, could he?

Besides, Wang Lian Shan and the others had said that they wouldn't attack Ling Jian tonight. At least, Ling Jian wouldn't be in danger tonight.

At this moment, after Yang An introduced Ling Jian, the gazes of the young masters present towards Ling Jian became even more strange.

On the other hand, it was as if Yang An didn't notice this situation as he continued to speak, "Young Master Ling's life-saving grace is something that I will never forget."

"Haha. What are you talking about, Master Yang? I think it is his good fortune to save Master Yang. He should be happy about it."

At the same time that Yang An spoke, someone in the banquet spoke.
