"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<...She knew perfectly well that Fang Han was flying on a sword.
Remembering how his uncle Su Yuande and Ye Qingcheng had set up a trap at Lin Yin Pavilion to kill Fang Han, Su Yuande was killed by Fang Han instead, and Ye Qingcheng escaped on her sword.
That was the first time she had ever seen someone fly on a sword; at that time, Fang Han couldn't catch up with Ye Qingcheng at all.
But now, she truly felt that Fang Han's speed in controlling his sword was many times faster than Ye Qingcheng's, and he was also carrying her along as a burden.
The wind howled high above, stinging people's faces. When Su Aiai looked down, everything on the ground appeared as small as dust. She felt dizzy and was almost scared out of her wits.
Fang Han remained calm, for flying on a sword was something he was very familiar with in his previous life.
In his previous life, he had even cultivated to the point of being able to teleport. One moment he was in the same place, and the next moment he could appear thousands of miles away.
This sword flight is just a small test of my skills.
...
Su Qianyu and Wu Lei's engagement banquet was not held at the Wu family's manor, but at the Lin Yin Pavilion.
Lin Yin Pavilion is the most extravagant place in Yanming City. Only a handful of families can afford to book the entire venue for an engagement banquet.
Given the Wu family's status, holding an engagement banquet here seems to be befitting Wu Lei's identity.
However, Su Qianyu and the Wu family were unaware that Lin Xunhuan, the owner of Lin Yin Pavilion, had already pledged allegiance to Fang Han and clung to his coattails after Su Yuande was killed by Fang Han and the beautiful young woman Ye Qingcheng, an elder of the Hehuan Sect, was also defeated by Fang Han.
Lin Xunhuan even promised that he would hand over all the profits of Lin Yin Pavilion to Fang Han in the future.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Fang Han is the real boss of Lin Yin Pavilion.
Su Qianyu and Wu Lei chose this place for their engagement, making it the most convenient place for Fang Han to embarrass them.
It wasn't even noon yet, but Lin Yin Pavilion was already bustling with activity.
Many of the prominent figures in Yanming City have already arrived.
Among them were Ye Zhong, the city lord of Yanming City, Gongsun Zuo, the head of one of the three major families of Yanming City, as well as his son Gongsun Zilong and daughter Gongsun Yaoqin.
In addition, most of the heads and young masters of second- and third-rate families were present.
The Su family members also came, led by Su Yuanwu.
These people had entered the private rooms of Lin Yin Pavilion early on.
Inside the private room, the aroma of tea wafted through the air, and the gentle sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments filled the air. A beautiful woman with a graceful figure danced in the center, her every move exuding charm.
While enjoying tea, music, and the beautiful dancers, everyone waited for the auspicious time to arrive so they could head to the hall where the engagement banquet would be held and witness this highly anticipated engagement ceremony.
Strangely, no one from the Zhao family, one of the three major families in Yanming City, came.
Under normal circumstances, the Wu family, as the leading family in Yanming City, would not invite insignificant families to such a wedding banquet.
This time, however, the Wu family had already announced that anyone, regardless of wealth or social status, who was willing to attend Wu Lei and Su Qianyu's engagement banquet could attend by submitting their names to the Wu family in advance and having them approved.
In this way, all the slightly respectable people in Yanming City were present.
After all, many people know there's going to be some excitement today, and they all want to see what's going on.
Of course, people of ordinary status could not sit in the private rooms of Lin Yin Pavilion, but were instead gathered in the main hall.
Last time, the ninth floor of Lin Yin Pavilion was almost completely destroyed in a battle between Fang Han and the beautiful young woman, an elder of the Hehuan Sect. Now it has been completely repaired.
Moreover, the layout has been changed, with the addition of private rooms on both sides in addition to a super luxurious banquet hall.
Those who arrived at the banquet hall found their seats with their nameplates on them.
But many people were whispering among themselves.
"You're saying the Su family patriarch was killed, and so many others died. Was it really the Fang family's doing?"
"That's impossible. Now that the Su family and the Wu family are related by marriage, how dare the Fang family, a third-rate family, provoke the Wu family?"
"That's right. I heard that Fang Sihai was attacked by a monster in Yin Yang Mountain and his cultivation was ruined. Moreover, the old patriarch Fang Gaoyang was poisoned. The Fang family is now in dire straits, barely able to save themselves."
"But some people say that Zhao Jian of the Zhao family was killed by the Fang family."
"This is indeed strange. Logically speaking, as one of the three major families in Yanming City, the Zhao family should be attending today's banquet, but there is no seat for the Zhao family here. It seems that the Zhao family is afraid of something."
"Yes, the Gongsun family members have already gone into the private rooms."
"There are rumors that Fang Han of the Fang family was turned into a medicine man by Su Qianyu, but he not only did not die, but his cultivation also greatly improved. It is said that he is coming to this banquet today to take revenge."
“It’s possible that Fang Han isn’t dead, but the Fang family has no place here. Besides, even if Fang Han was killed by Su Qianyu, even if Fang Han and Su Qianyu were engaged, and Su Qianyu is going to marry Young Master Wu Lei, would the Fang family dare to say a word against it?”
"Yes, Fang Han coming here is just courting death."
There were all sorts of opinions, but few people were optimistic about the Fang family, and even fewer believed that Fang Han would come to Lin Yin Pavilion to cause trouble.
