Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 144 Return Ceremony

Xiangliu returned to the Chenrong Yijun in Qingshui Town and took Hongjiang to Wushen Mountain. Hongjiang changed his appearance and appeared with Fangfeng Bei. Yan Mo immediately came to greet him. Today was the day of his official return. He finally arrived after rushing.

"Foster father, we finally invited you here. Don't stay stuck in the mountains all day and make yourself sick. Let the rebels out for a walk more often. We still have plenty of time, so everyone should go out and have fun!"

"Girl, aren't you afraid that they won't want to go back after having fun?"

"How could that be? I trust them completely. The fact that they brought their wives to the base camp tells me their hearts have never changed. Some spirits are ingrained in their bones. If they want a stable life, I'll make arrangements for them. Just don't backstab them."

"You are so carefree!"

"Everything that happens must be favorable to me, and if it goes against my wishes, there must be a plan. I never force things, because if I ask for something, I won't get it. Everything is up to my heart. I am like this, and so are they."

Watching Yan Mo and Hong Jiang walk away, the people behind them were shocked.

"Who is that? How could he be so close to Hall Master Yan?"

"I'm not sure. Hey, have you heard? Shengdan Hall's elixirs will never be provided to Qingqiu, and no one is allowed to sell them to Qingqiu. Do you know why?"

"I'm not sure, but I heard that the head of the Fangfeng family is the apprentice of the Holy Hall Master..."

"Oh, I see. No wonder the Hall Master is so angry. He deserves it..."

……

"Xiaoyao, look who's here?"

"Godfather!" Xiang Yao was the first to react, and he called out again with some embarrassment!

Hong Jiang pointed at Xiang Yao, laughed out loud, and gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up.

Hong Jiang took out a bracelet that was the same as Yan Mo's before and handed it to Xiao Yao.

"This pair was meant to be a couple, and now it's just right, you and Mo Yatou each have one. From now on, you two will advance and retreat together, supporting each other. From now on, this world belongs to you young people, I'm old!"

"How can godfather be old? This precious sword of godfather has not been unsheathed yet. I want to see godfather show his prowess and scare the enemy to death!" Yan Mo refused and shook Hong Jiang's arm like a spoiled child.

"Yes, my adoptive father is amazing!" Xiaoyao echoed. In the final battle, she would let her adoptive father take the head of King Xiyan himself, avenging her father, mother, uncle, aunt, and the Chenrong soldiers who died in the battle.

"Haha, who is so awesome!" Shaohao's hearty voice came from the door.

Everyone turned around and saw Shaohao walking slowly with Xilingheng. Xiaoyao tilted her head to look behind her.

"Don't worry, I've arranged for him and Rushou to receive the guests. We're all family here. General Hong Jiang is still as powerful as ever, and he looks even younger than me!"

Shaohao felt a little emotional when looking at the much younger Hong Jiang!

"Right, right, I told you that my adoptive father is really powerful!" Yan Mo was so proud! Hong Jiang is the God of Water, and his fighting power is even comparable to Xiang Liu. It's just that he was seriously injured and has been suffering from a hidden disease. Now, he was cured by Yan Mo three hundred years ago, and his cultivation has improved. It's just that my adoptive father doesn't like war, and has been quietly guarding the righteous army to balance the relationship between Xiyan and the Central Plains.

"The time is almost up, Xiaoyao, are you ready?"

"Father, I'm ready!"

……

As the various clans arrived, the gifts were gradually recorded by Rushou. Everyone gathered in Zhaohui Hall, the head of the family seated in front, the younger generations standing in the back. Tushan Jing, Xixuan, Fenglong, and Xinyue stood in one place. Fenglong, curious, asked Xixuan what his sister looked like, but he refused to reveal her, only smiling mysteriously. Tushan Jing's face flushed with excitement. Xiaoyao had returned to being a princess, which meant there was no chance for her and Xiangliu. Xinyue's attention was more focused on Yiying, who sat in the front row. She envied her good fortune: she had been accepted as a disciple by the Holy Hall Master, and had become the head of the family. It was said that she was now even favored by King Haoling. She should have been abandoned by the Tushan family! And yet, her reputation was now even more prestigious than hers!

"The auspicious time has arrived. Welcome back, Princess!" Rushu shouted.

The whole hall was silent for a moment, with only the sound of music playing. The princess that everyone had been waiting for finally came out. Xiaoyao was wearing a white dress embroidered with white waves and silver edges, and inlaid with countless white pearls. A closer look revealed that it was not a piece of cloth at all but a shark silk skirt, with a red cape draped behind it. Her originally delicate face looked heroic because of her serious and solemn expression. Xiyan and some people in the Central Plains looked at each other and kept silent tacitly.

Some things are better left unsaid. As for when to reveal them, it depends on when to reveal them for the greatest benefit.

Xiao Yao walked towards King Hao Ling step by step. Listening to the eulogy, Xiao Yao kowtowed to King Hao Ling. In this life, Hao Ling was her home. The people here were the ones who truly loved her, spoiled her, and respected her as her relatives. She secretly vowed that she would never be soft-hearted to Hao Ling!

After the ceremony, Chishui Fenglong had not yet come to his senses. He was pushed by Xuan and then he realized that he was a bit rude. He touched his head awkwardly. Tushan Jing looked at Chishui Fenglong meaningfully, said nothing, smiled and left.

Fangfeng Yiying finally got rid of Gui Fangyanqing and ran quickly to his master Yan Mo to complain.

"Master, please take care of the leader of the Guifang clan. She's annoying me!"

Yan Mo looked curious, and Yiying told him what happened.

"Can you guess who wants to kill you?"

"I'm not sure. If it's about business, I haven't offended anyone in particular. As for other enemies, I can't think of any. Are the Fifth and Seventh Kings angry that I won't take their missions? They shouldn't be that petty. Many people know that I'm your apprentice, and most people wouldn't dare touch me!"

"Where's the Tushan Hou?"

"Him? Let me get someone to investigate! What reason does he have to kill me?"

"Because you are the woman that Tu Shanjing can't have. That's just how crazy he is! He always likes to snatch Tu Shanjing's things, even his maids, let alone a rich lady like you. If he can get you, it will put Tu Shanjing in a lower position than him. He will be so proud of himself!"

"You mean he didn't really want to kill me, but was just trying to save the damsel in distress? Unexpectedly, the Guifang leader got there first!"

"You've done more harm than good. How about you consider the Guifang clan leader? Hey, Bei, what's the Guifang clan leader like? Is he good-looking? Is he a playboy?"

Yan Mo pushed Fang Fengbei, who was looking at her with a smile, and asked a series of questions. Just kidding, Yiying was also her treasure, so of course she had to keep a close eye on her.

"He's quite good, but he's a bit unremarkable. He's good-looking, better looking than Tu Shanjing. Well, in the Guifang tribe, men regard women as their heaven and are henpecked. They only marry one person in their lifetime. Sister, why don't you consider it? There aren't many men in the Great Wilderness who are worthy of you!"

"How does Second Brother know so clearly?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Mo whispered to Ying Erduo:

"Your second brother is the young master of Guifang! He doesn't want to be the clan leader, so Guifang Yanqing is the clan leader!"

Yiying looked at Fangfengbei in surprise. Her second brother was really a hidden talent. Yiying fell into deep thought again. She didn't really dislike Gui Fangyanqing. She just thought he was a bit shameless. He was quite interesting.

Fangfeng Bei pulled Yan Mo's hand and motioned her to look ahead. They saw Gui Fang Yanqing standing not far away and waving at them. Fangfeng Bei and Yan Mo nodded slightly in response.

"Yiying? You decide. He's waiting for you. It's up to you whether you go or not!"

Yiying looked up and saw Gui Fangyanqing who was waiting for her in the distance. She suddenly felt shy, but she still said hello to Yan Mo and walked towards Gui Fangyanqing. She knew that even if she didn't go, that guy would come and pester her, so it would be better to go to him openly.

"I feel so relieved! Tell Gui Fangyanqing that if anyone dares to betray Yiying, I'll have him castrated! This is the Yan family's ancestral method for dealing with unfaithful men! Got it?"

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. You have no shame!"

……
