Chapter 329 Various Families Arrive to Offer Congratulations
Xiao Huan's warships sped along, traveling day and night for several days.
They had only just arrived in the Eastern Region when they encountered many flying boats heading to the Nan family to attend the ceremony, and there were quite a few familiar faces among them.
He excitedly jumped onto the edge of the boat, waved into the distance, and shouted, "Hey! Ling Shu, Qing Yu, Shi Li!!"
Upon hearing Xiao Huan's voice, everyone was stunned, only then realizing that the owner of this luxurious warship was none other than the long-lost Xiao Huan.
The group waved and laughed, then leaped onto his boat. Shi Li patted him on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Damn, you're pretty good, bro! You actually survived!"
Xiao Huan pursed his lips, "The way you put it, can't you just hope I get better?"
Shi Li looked around the warship, where the specially made family crests were visible everywhere. He then recalled the rumors and exclaimed in admiration, "I never imagined you were really the young master of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Huan smiled bitterly. It seemed his older brother was right; he had really made a fool of himself, and now everyone knew about it.
"I didn't expect it... to be honest, I didn't want it at all..."
Hearing his words, the crowd exchanged bewildered glances, clearly not believing him at all.
"The head of the family! That sounds so prestigious! Why wouldn't I want to be?" Ling Shu said excitedly. "I've never been to the Central Region before! If you become the head of the family, I can walk around the Central Region with my head held high!"
Qingyu sneered and said, "Lingshu, I advise you not to go..."
Ling Shu: "Why?"
Qingyu glanced at Xiao Huan and said, "If he really becomes the head of the family, I reckon the Xiao family is going to collapse..."
Xiao Huan: "..."
"Hahaha, believe it or not, it's actually possible." Shi Li burst into laughter, then stepped forward with a sheepish grin and said, "Young Master Xiao, if you really don't want it, how about giving me this enormous wealth? I guarantee I can manage it perfectly for you!"
"You?" Xiao Huan stroked his chin hesitantly, "If... you can satisfy my brother, then giving you this position isn't out of the question..."
"It really works?" Shi Li asked in surprise. "Tell me quickly, what would it take to satisfy him?"
Upon hearing this question, Xiao Huan looked Shi Li up and down, imagining the two of them embracing, but no matter how he looked at it, it felt incongruous.
Could it be that the position is wrong?
So, in his mind, the two switched places, with the strong Shi Li pinning his older brother down. Suddenly, this image made him shudder, as if it were even more shocking!
Just as he was lost in thought, an uncontrollable burst of laughter came from behind him. Yang Sheng looked like he was about to suffer internal injuries, his lips tightly pressed together, tears welling up in his eyes.
Seeing Xiao Huan staring at him speechlessly, he tried to calm himself down and turned to walk towards the other end of the boat.
As Xiao Huan watched Yang Sheng leave, a chill ran down his spine. "That kid, he wouldn't go and tell on me, would he?"
He pondered for a moment and thought it was quite possible.
Yang Sheng was his brother's confidant. He ostensibly came to protect him, but in reality, he came to monitor him!
Xiao Huan couldn't help but rub his backside, but still chased after Yang Sheng, feeling it necessary to give him a warning.
...
at the same time.
The group from Peach Blossom Valley entered the southern city and decided to rest there for the night before heading to the Nan family mansion to attend the ceremony the next day.
Nancheng is one of the commercial centers of the Eastern Region. The entire city belongs to the Nan family. Therefore, during the days of the dual cultivation ceremony, all expenses in the city will be waived for distinguished guests who come with invitations to offer their congratulations.
This also made everyone realize the immense wealth of the Nan family, and they naturally indulged in their entertainment without any restraint.
From the attic of the inn, Ming Cang looked down at the street below, a pained expression on his face. "This spendthrift child, how many spirit stones will this ceremony cost?"
“Oh, Master, don’t worry about it. The Nan family can afford to hold this ceremony for a year.” Yu Qianling said, glancing at Feng Yue with some dissatisfaction, “You brat, tomorrow is a joyous occasion, and you are still a member of the bride’s family. Why are you wearing a black robe? It’s not festive at all!”
"Huh?" Feng Yue said with a wronged look, "But...but I don't have any other clothes..."
"That's easy!" Yu Qianling stood up abruptly and excitedly called out to him, "Come on, come on, let's go shopping in the market. I'll pick out some nice clothes for you, and we can change our style."
"That's right!" Ye Xi said excitedly, "Fourth Martial Uncle is so handsome. If he dresses up carefully, he will definitely be the most handsome person in the whole place!"
"That's right, don't waste this face!" Yu Qianling was a man of action, and she was about to pull away the reluctant Feng Yue when Ming Cang stopped her.
"etc!"
Seeing her master's expressionless face, Yu Qianling chuckled awkwardly, "Master, we're not trying to take advantage, but we, as her family, should at least dress up a bit, right?"
"Tsk, did your teacher say anything?"
Ming Cang put down his teacup, stood up, and coughed lightly: "I think what you said makes sense, so I'll go pick out an outfit too. Go and call everyone over, and have them all pick out a few nice clothes. We can't let the other sects outdo us!"
The people present exchanged knowing smiles, thinking about that damned competitive spirit.
"Alright, let's go!"
...
The Nan family's house is located in the courtyard.
The servants were busy decorating the house with lanterns and colorful decorations, making final preparations for tomorrow's grand ceremony.
Nan Muyin, beaming with joy, walked hand in hand with Yu Xian'er along the corridor. "Master and the others have arrived in Nancheng. They just sent word that they will come again tomorrow."
"Um."
"What's wrong?" Nan Muyin noticed her pale face and touched her cheek with concern. "Are you feeling unwell? Shall I take you back to your room?"
"No." Yu Xian'er smiled gently, then lowered her eyes and said somewhat sadly, "I just miss my sisters... My sister loves lively gatherings the most. I wish she could come to my ceremony..."
Nan Muyin put her arm around her shoulder and kissed her brows and eyes. "After the ceremony, I'll go with you to see them."
"Okay, sure."
Just then, Nan Yaoyao rushed over in a flurry, "Sister-in-law, let's choose a dress again! Father said that one wasn't luxurious enough, so he sent over a few new dresses and asked me to invite you over to take a look."
"Huh? No need." Yu Xian'er was a little amused and exasperated. She had already picked out dozens of sets, and she thought every single one was fine.
"Come on, come on," Nan Yaoyao said coquettishly, taking her arm. "This is really the last time."
Yu Xian'er looked at Nan Muyin with a troubled expression, but he laughed and said, "Go ahead, those are all your father's good wishes. Anyway, they are all custom-made according to your size, so you don't need to try them on one by one. Just sit and look around and choose."
"Okay, fine."
"Don't worry, Yaoyao won't let her sister-in-law get tired!" Nan Yaoyao said, then helped Yu Xian'er leave.
Just after the two left, a subordinate rushed forward and reported: "Young Master, a guard just reported that several men in black were captured in the back mountain, but they all committed suicide just now."
Nan Muyin frowned: "What is their purpose?"
"I don't know for now..."
"Investigate immediately and send additional guards to be on high alert!"
"yes!"
