Chapter 1221: Visit From Immortal Kings
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Chen Yi naturally could sense the closeness radiating from Qin Wentian. Seems like the relationship between Lin Shuai and him was extremely good. This was why he treated her like his kin as well. If not, how would she have an opportunity to meet with someone of such status?
"Wentian." Chen Yi didn't hesitate or act pretentious, directly calling his name with a smile on her face.
Qin Wentian's smile grew more gentle. His gaze turned to Mo Qingcheng, only to see Mo Qingcheng walking forward, attracting the gazes of the crowd. Now when they looked at Mo Qingcheng again, they only felt she truly resembled a celestial maiden, high-up in the sky, untouchable by all. She is Qin Wentian's woman and what was laughable is that there were actually many people who had the thoughts to pursue her, feeling it was a pity for such a beautiful maiden to follow Qin Wentian, someone from an ascendant-ranked power.
"Elder sister Yi, this is a little token from me and Wentian, congratulations to you and senior brother." Mo Qingcheng took out an interspatial ring and passed to Chen Yi, causing her to start a little. She glanced at Lin Shuai, only to see him nodding with a smile. "Since this is a token from them, just accept it."
"Mhm." Chen Yi nodded lightly, smiling to Mo Qingcheng. She then whispered, "Qingcheng, you are so beautiful."
"Sister Yi is the same as well." Mo Qingcheng smiled. Those of the Battle Sword Sect stood up. And a moment later, Huo Yan, Wan Jiansheng and the others all retreated some distance away, kneeling down by the side. They didn't dare to show any temper at all.
Sword Sovereign Lingtian, Ye Lingshuang and the others all felt the mouthful of anger within them finally being released. If it wasn't for Qin Wentian, they would have most probably had no choice but to continue suppressing it.
"Lin Shuai, Little Yi, these are some of our kind intentions, don't reject it okay?" Everyone started to give their gifts to the couple. Lin Shuai bowed to everyone, "The gifts given by all of you will be treasured no matter what they are. To me, they are all extremely precious and valuable."
If Lin Shuai said this before Qin Wentian's identity was revealed. Many people would surely feel unhappy. But right now, nobody dared to have any opinions about that.
"Young Lord Chen, those people who are an eyesore, is there still a need for them to remain here? Get all of those troublemakers to scram." Qin Wentian also couldn't be bothered too much with these people. They basically weren't worthy for him to pay any attention to them.
"Young Lord Qin please ease your anger, we will scram right now." Huo Yan's father prostrated himself on the ground and dragged Huo Yan and the others away hurriedly. Chen Xue's face turned stiff, she didn't know if should she leave or not. Father Chen glanced at her and spoke, "Scram away with your husband."
Chen Xue could sense the anger in her father's heart. But this was only natural, her and her husband were the ones that made things the most difficult earlier, by humiliating Qin Wentian's group, exuding boundless arrogance far above their status. At this moment she felt immense shame and guilt, she could only sigh silently in her heart. Lin Shuai was her brother-in-law, someone that she should be extremely close to. The junior apprentice brother of her brother-in-law was actually the disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. Initially, she might even have had a chance to go and pay a visit to the legendary Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
But now, she knew that it was impossible. Leaving aside Lin Shuai and his sect members, most probably her father and younger sister would never treat her the same again.
As for those who mocked and humiliated Qin Wentian's group earlier, all of them slunk away silently. After all, since they knew of Qin Wentian's identity, it was only a certainty that Qin Wentian wouldn't be at the ascendant level. Given his cultivation level, how could he not remember who were the ones who had insulted him? Now, it was already very good that he didn't bother to count that against them.
Those of the older generation from the Chen Clan also arrived. After they knew of Qin Wentian's identity, all of them were extremely respectful. Their gazes contained unhappiness when they glanced at Father Chen, as though they were very unhappy with his previous attitude.
"Young Lord Qin, I think it would still be for the best if you take the master seat." Father Chen didn't dare to act casually. Qin Wentian was nice to Chen Yi purely because of Lin Shuai. Although he might be Chen Yi's father, his earlier attitude towards Lin Shuai's sect, wasn't that good at all. Also, from how Qin Wentian referred to him as Clan Lord Chen, he could already tell that Qin Wentian didn't feel any good will towards him.
"No need, the seating is not important. It feels pretty good to chat with Senior Fang here as well. Clan Lord Chen, you can just go and be busy yourself with your own stuff." Qin Wentian replied.
At this moment, Father Chen clearly understood Qin Wentian's attitude. He could only nod his head and busy himself with the wedding matters of Lin Shuai and Chen Yi. Right now, his attitude towards Lin Shuai was extremely respectful, so respectful to the point where nobody knew who the father-in-law was.
Qin Wentian and Fang Mu continued chatting, there were no more servants around them. Those who were around them were the few supreme elders and doyens of the Chen Clan. At this moment, a doyen lifted his cup to Qin Wentian and drank to his health, before he suddenly asked a question.
"Young Lord Qin, how do you feel about the Clan Lord of our Chen Clan?" When the sound of this voice rang out, at the side the distracted Father Chen felt his heart pounding violently as his countenance turned somewhat pale.
The meaning behind these words were extremely terrifying to him. As long as Qin Wentian said he was unhappy, his position of Clan Lord would instantly be stripped away from him.
Although the Chen Clan can't be compared to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, it was still a first-tier clan in this area. Those who determined the position of Clan Lord were still the supreme elders and doyens of the clan.
"Why are you asking me with regards to matters of the Chen Clan?" Qin Wentian frowned. "As long as my senior brother and his wife are happy, I naturally wouldn't have any opinions at all."
As the sound of his voice faded, Father Chen heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, Qin Wentian still gave face to Little Yi. From now on, the position of Clan Lord would have to depend on Lin Shuai and Little Yi's attitude. Luckily, Little Yi was his daughter, and she would be on his side usually regardless of what may be. But now, when he spoke to Lin Shuai in the future, he reminded himself that he has to be more polite.
There naturally wouldn't be any more commotion with regards to the wedding. Everyone crowded around Lin Shuai and Chen Yi, Qin Wentian was too lofty a character and they wouldn't be able to interact with him. Hence, the guests all wanted to better their relationship with Chen Yi and Lin Shuai, which made them exhibit their most enthusiastic sides.
Qin Wentian and the others naturally understood why this was so. Given the personality of Lin Shuai, he wouldn't care about these false feelings in any case. After the wedding, he most probably would bring Chen Yi away from here.
As an immortal king expert, Fang Mu was naturally an intelligent character. He exuded politeness and warmth but showed no hints of flattery, let alone seeking for any request. He simply wanted to form an acquaintance with Qin Wentian and Fang Mu understood that since this was the first time they met, it was already very good for Qin Wentian not to feel anything bad about him. If he made a request, Qin Wentian most probably would just ignore him.
Lin Shuai and Chen Yi came to Qin Wentian's side and sat down. Fang Mu smiled at Lin Shuai, "Noble nephew Lin, I came here but I brought no gifts with me. How about I give you a protective strand of my immortal sense?"
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. A protective strand of immortal sense from an immortal king was extremely valuable to weaker people. This Fang Mu knew that talking would not amount to anything much. Hence, he directly chose to gift a strand of immortal sense to Lin Shuai, doing him a favor. This Fang Mu was truly an intelligent person.
Lin Shuai naturally understood Fang Mu's thoughts. He decisively shook his head, "Senior Fang is too polite. How would junior dare to accept such a valuable gift?"
Fang Mu, by giving him a strand of protective immortal sense, naturally didn't hope for any forms of repayment from Lin Shuai. However, this debt of kindness would be bore by Qin Wentian. He naturally didn't want to accept.
Fang Mu smiled and didn't say anything. However, Qin Wentian spoke, "Since Senior Fang is willing to do so, there's no need for you to reject it senior brother."
Since he knew Lin Shuai wanted to roam the immortal realms, the protective immortal sense of an immortal king might very well be equivalent to an extra life. To him, this act was merely a small act of kindness. It was impossible for Fang Mu to request anything, it was just his gesture of wanting to be acquainted more closely with Qin Wentian.
Chen Yi stared at Lin Shuai and Qin Wentian. She naturally hoped that Lin Shuai would accept it. The protective immortal sense of an immortal king was extremely valuable. No one in her Chen Clan has received such a honor before.
"Okay then." Lin Shuai smiled, finally expressing his agreement. There was no need to use his perspective to gauge this act, since his junior brother already gave him the go ahead.
Hence, under the gazes of many filled with envy, Fang Mu left a strand of protective immortal sense on Lin Shuai.
This wedding finally came to an end. Qin Wentian and the people from the Battle Sword Sect bid farewell while Lin Shuai and the experts of the Chen Clan sent them off.
"Senior brother, sister-in-law, take care." Qin Wentian and his group clasped their hands, soaring up into the air. All of them stared at the gigantic roc which was transformed from Qin Wentian's pet but they no longer felt any surprises. Lin Shuai and Chen Yi felt a little melancholy. In life, regardless of siblings or good friends, everyone had to walk their own paths eventually.
It was inevitable to say goodbye.
After this farewell, nobody knew when it would be when they met each other again.
In truth, it was just as what Qin Wentian speculated. After staying for some days at the Chen Clan, Lin Shuai and Chen Yi went out to temper themselves, roaming the immortal realms. Although the people of the Chen Clan wanted Qin Wentian to stay longer, but since Lin Shuai had left, who would dare to do so?
Qin Wentian returned to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and busied himself with continuing nurturing and improving the constitutions of everyone else. Using some valuable treasures and rare medical pills to aid them, and giving them innate techniques and cultivation arts which complemented them. Helping them to make preparations for breaking through to the immortal-foundation realm.
Time slowly flowed by, Qin Wentian also enjoyed these rare moments of peace and quiet.
However today, within the Cloud Prefecture, several immortal kings appeared. The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect instantly knew of this and were keeping close tabs on them.
They discovered that these immortal kings were actually heading towards the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
After some time, a group of experts calmly stood outside the majestic castle that was the headquarters of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Numerous experts flew out from the ancient castle, staring at these people who just arrived.
Auras of extreme sharpness akin to an unsheathed sword could be felt gushing forth, with no intentions to mask it at all.
"Why have all of you come to our Cloud Prefecture?" An immortal king from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect asked.
"We are from the Paragon Sword Sect and are here to pay our respects to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord." Those people stood there as they calmly replied.
The hearts of all the immortal kings trembled. Seems like this must have been caused by the commotion caused of the sacred academy. Right now, these people were all starting to act.
Immortal kings actually directly entered the Cloud Prefecture and came straight to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect!
"The Emperor Lord is busy with his cultivation. I'm afraid he won't have the time to meet with you guys." An expert from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect replied.
"There's no worries about that. We are willing to wait for him in the sect, and pay him a visit anytime when he is finally ready to meet with us." The experts of the Paragon Sword Sect, it was clear that they were long prepared for this!
