Today, the Dong Residence was abnormally lively. Knowing that the Dong Residence was going to hold a celebration banquet for the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, the various great clans of Songcheng came over one after another to offer their congratulations. This put Dong Bo Tong in a difficult position. According to Li Xun and the others' intentions, it was just that the people of the Dong Clan and the people of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect were having a good time. However, word of this leaked out among the servants. Even if he was unwilling, he could not offend the masses. After discussing with Li Xun and the others, Dong Bo Tong instructed the butler to set up a banquet.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." At this moment, the atmosphere in the Dong Residence was extremely lively. The crown prince of Pine Flower Country, Li Ting, had also arrived.
As a neighbouring country of the Heavenly Mountain, the Pine Flower Country had always been trying to rope the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect in. For hundreds of years, they had never given up. Now that they had the opportunity, they would not let it go.
At the main table, Dong Bo Tong looked at Elder Gu when he heard that the Crown Prince had arrived. However, he didn't have any intention of welcoming him. He knew a little about this, so he went alone to greet them.
The Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect protected Heavenly Mountain Country from the very beginning. After thousands of years, they would never accept the coaxing of other countries. This time, the six disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect displayed incredible strength. Their performance on this continent would spread very quickly, and the reputation of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect would definitely reach its peak in a short amount of time. A large number of people would definitely send their children to the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. Of course, the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect would definitely not accept all of them either.
On this continent, there were a total of three great sects. The Dong Ting Sword Sect in the east, the Highlands Sword Sect in the west, and the Northern Sea Sword Sect in the north, had all been established for more than three thousand years. In the south, there was no Supreme Sword Sect, but from the looks of it, Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect had just revealed their prowess.
Under Dong Bo Tong's guidance, Li Ting arrived at the main table.
"Everyone, on behalf of my royal father, I have come to congratulate the Heaven Mountain Sword Sect on their proud results this time. We know the rules of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. The congratulatory gift is a jar of 'Spirit Spring Dew' that my royal father has treasured for more than twenty years. Li Ting had a heroic expression, and his tone was rather straightforward, causing others to be embarrassed to not accept his good intentions.
"In that case, on behalf of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, I thank the Prince for his good intentions. The position of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect will never change, I hope that Your Highness will understand." Elder Gu said with a serious face.
"You must be Elder Gu. I, Li Ting, have only come here today to congratulate you. I will not mention anything inappropriate." "I'll do it first as a form of respect." Li Tong picked up a cup of Spirit Spring Dew and downed it in one gulp. The maidservants she brought along also placed cups of Spirit Spring Dew in the hands of everyone at the main table.
After Li Ting took his seat, Dong Bo Tong started introducing Li Xun and the others to him. Li Ting was a good talker, and the awkward atmosphere around him was eased with just a few words. When they found out that Li Xun and Qin Qing were husband and wife, they were greatly shocked. They complained endlessly about not being able to drink their wedding wine, causing both Li Xun and Qin Qing to feel helpless. However, Li Xun had a good impression of Li Ting. He noticed that Li Ting had never once shown mercy to Qin Qing. This was extremely rare for an eighteen year old boy like him.
"Husband, we will be returning to the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect tomorrow. Before we go, I want to see Qian Jue." Today, Li Xun and the others were completely exhausted. Those who came to congratulate them continuously came to toast. Fortunately, Cheng Kun was there, so Li Xun and Qin Qing used this reason to come to the back garden to get some fresh air.
"Well, actually, I like her quite a bit too, although she always treats me badly. But we'd better wait until tonight, or we'll be in trouble. "
Returning to the banquet, Li Xun and Qin Qing were astounded to discover that Li Ting was already helping the people from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect to block the wine. They couldn't help but look at each other and smile. Li Xun could tell that even though the Crown Prince of Pine Flower Country was young, he was rather popular. He could tell from the unpretentious looks and respect of the people who drank with him. Looks like this Li Ting is an important figure.
That night, Li Xun and Qin Qing arrived at the Thousand Jade Temple.
This time, Qian Jue was accompanied out by a middle-aged man who was sitting on a wheelchair.
"Elder sister, why did you come to see me so late?" Xiao Qian Jue ran to Qin Qing's side.
"Big sister misses you, isn't it good to come and see you?"
"Hehe, I miss sister too. That's right, big sister. Jue'er congratulates you. "
"Jue'er, aren't you going to introduce him to Father?" The middle-aged man interrupted Qian Jue's words.
"Ah!" I almost forgot, hee hee. Elder sister, this is my father. Father, this is big sister Qin Qing. She is big sister Qin Qing's husband. "
Li Xun was slightly embarrassed, he didn't even give him a name as he smiled and said, "Uncle, hello. I'm Li Xun."
"Young man, hello. My name is Qian Zongsheng. Congratulations. Qian Jue has often talked about you in front of me. Actually, I wanted to see you guys a long time ago.
"Uncle Qian, you are overthinking it."
"..."
The four of them chatted happily for a long time.
"Li Xun, Qin Qing, as you can see, my body is too inconvenient. I originally wanted my steward to send Qian Jue to the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. Since you guys are going back, do you think you can bring Qian Jue along?"
"Father, no, I still have to stay with you for a while longer." Qian Jue was somewhat anxious.
"Silly girl, I can only relax when you head to the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect with your big sister Qin Qing and brother Li Xun. Do you understand?" Qian Zongsheng looked at Qian Jue in reluctance.
"Uncle Qian, don't worry. Qing Er and I will take good care of Qian Jue. Since she has taken on a little sister like Qian Jue, she will naturally be my little sister. I won't let her suffer any grievances."
"Haha, I'll have to trouble you all to take care of Qian Jue from now on. Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone deliver Qian Jue to the Dong Residence."
"Alright, Uncle Qian, we won't disturb you any longer."
"..."
The next morning, when Qian Jue was sent over, her eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time. When Dong Na Na Na and Dong Bo Tong said their goodbyes, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Disciples like Dong Nana were all specially groomed by the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, and their requirements were even stricter. Without any special reason, they were unable to leave the mountain, and the disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect only had ten days leave each year. As for how far away they were, they would have to save time. Dong Nana and Dong Bo Tong would not be able to see each other for at least two or three years.
This time, there were many people returning to the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, making the journey exceptionally lively.
"Eh, there's a fight ahead, and it seems to be very intense."
Both Li Xun and Elder Gu frowned. They both felt that there was an expert in front.
"Li Xun, let's go take a look. Everyone else, get some rest."
When Li Xun and Elder Gu arrived at a concealed location near the battle formation, they saw a group of masked men in green besieging a group of women, and that group of women were none other than the people from the Jade Immortal Sword Sect. The masked men outnumbered the disciples, and their overall strength was obviously stronger than the people from the Jade Immortal Sect. If it weren't for the protection of the four powerful middle-aged women from the Jade Immortal Sword Sect, those young disciples would have perished long ago.
"Elder Gu, if we don't act now, these people from the Jade Immortal Sword Sect might die here."
"The origins of these green-clothed people are definitely not small. Sigh." Forget it, those who hide their heads and show their tails are definitely not good people. If I watch them die without saving them, even my old man will not be able to do so.
The moment Li Xun and Elder Gu appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of both sides that were fighting and stopped fighting.
A green-clothed man stopped Li Xun and Elder Gu and said, "My two friends, our Seven Sects Alliance will settle our personal grudges today. Please do not interfere?"
