#452 - This person is naturally
The Xu family compound.
Important figures from both the Xu and Qin families had arrived, mostly close blood relatives or those from collateral branches with some influence in the imperial court.
Among them were Xu Yi and Xu Shan.
Xu Yi and Xu Shan had gone to cultivate in sects since they were young.
The eldest young master, Xu Yi, possessed exceptional talent in talisman Dao. At the age of four, he was noticed by the Grand Elder of the Tianzhuan Sect and accepted as a close disciple.

The Tianzhuan Sect was a Yu Pu-level sect, with a considerable reputation in the cultivation world.
After all, the world was so vast, how many Yu Pu realm cultivators were there? The vast majority of sects only had Nascent Soul realm experts as their strongest members.
Xu Yi had never descended the mountain, but was praised by the Grand Elder as a genius rarely seen in the Tianzhuan Sect in five hundred years.
The second young master, Xu Shan, possessed a pure Yang body. The Yan Yang Sect Master personally accepted him as a disciple to cultivate the Yan Yang Heart Sutra. He was also a rare talent, and the Yan Yang Sect Master even betrothed his only daughter to Xu Shan.
When the two of them returned, the Xu family put on a grand welcoming display.
Especially their mothers, Madam Qian and Madam Lin.
Before, when their sons hadn't returned, they felt they had no backing and were inferior to others.
Especially after Xu Ming and Xu Pangda emerged as the family's hopes, they lowered their heads even further.
But now, their sons had returned, and their cultivation was accomplished. They were like celestial beings, and were valued by their sects.
They felt like they were floating as they walked.
Today was the Xu family's grand banquet (the Xu family's ancestral ritual was to have a family meal first, then welcome guests at noon the next day, and then proceed to the ancestral worship). Xu Yi and Xu Shan were both seated at the main table.
The others at the main table were naturally the Xu family's ancestor, the elders of the Xu and Qin families, Wang Feng, and Xu Pangda.
"Is Qingwan unable to return?"
Wang Feng asked Qin Qingwan's mother.
Madam Qin shook her head: "No, I haven't seen Qingwan in a long time. I only occasionally receive letters from her. This time, Qingwan said the sect had some major event and couldn't return."
As she spoke, Madam Qin smiled: "It's alright, Qingwan is already like a celestial being, I can understand. And this time, I can finally see Ming'er. Otherwise, Ming'er might think I'm deliberately avoiding him."
Since Qin Qingwan entered the Tianxuan Sect, Madam Qin had frequently been traveling between the capital and her maiden family.
Every time Madam Qin went to her maiden family, she accurately avoided Xu Ming's return.
And every time Madam Qin returned, Xu Ming had already left.
This made Madam Qin quite helpless.
She actually wanted to see Xu Ming very much.
"I've been cultivating on the mountain and have heard of Qin-meimei's reputation for a long time. It's a pity not to meet her this time," Xu Yi said politely to Madam Qin.
"Which disciple of our Yan Yang Sect doesn't admire Qin-meimei, who is on the Red Beauty List?" Xu Shan also smiled.
"Giggle," Madam Qian laughed, "Shan'er, you must say some good words to Uncle Qin and Madam Qin. You and Qingwan are both like celestial beings, maybe you can form a marriage."
Xu Yi smiled slightly, saying nothing.
But saying nothing meant he was indeed interested in Qin Qingwan.
Madam Lin, who was beside her, was displeased, but her face was still smiling: "Qingwan is indeed good-looking, she was a beautiful child since she was little. Moreover, Shan'er and Qingwan have the same birthday, only the month is different, this is fate."
Xu Shan smiled: "Mother, you can't say that randomly. It's just a coincidence, but I do admire Qin-meimei very much. When I tell the sect disciples that Qin-meimei lives opposite me, they don't believe me."
"Hahahaha, you are indeed at the age to talk about marriage," the old lady said with a smile, "But you still have to focus on cultivation. The future of the Xu family depends on you."
"Old Ancestor is right," Xu Yi and Xu Shan responded at the same time.
However, when they heard "focus on cultivation," their breathing became slightly rapid.
They naturally focused on cultivation.
Qin Qingwan was not only beautiful, but also had a natural holy body. If they could cultivate with her, their cultivation would be more than just one step higher!
This was why, in the hearts of many people, Qin Qingwan was more tempting than the other top ten on the Red Beauty List.
"Speaking of which, Old Ancestor, are we still waiting for an elder?" Xu Yi asked the old lady.
A total of twenty tables were set up in the courtyard, all of them relatives, and all the dishes were served, but no one dared to move their chopsticks.
The others didn't move their chopsticks because the Old Ancestor had to move them first.
But the Old Ancestor had been waiting there, not knowing who she was waiting for.
What made them even more strange was that the Old Ancestor had actually given up the main seat.
Who could make the Old Ancestor do this?
Could it be that the Martial Emperor was coming?
"Don't worry, don't worry," the Old Ancestor smiled, "I've already sent someone to call them, they'll be here soon."
"It's alright, that person must be busy with affairs," Madam Lin smiled, thinking that the person must be the Martial Emperor. After all, the Xu and Qin families had produced so many talents, and the Xu and Qin families had a deep relationship with the royal family, so it was normal for His Majesty to come.
Madam Qian's eyes rolled: "Old Ancestor, this granddaughter-in-law heard that Old Ancestor will not be presiding over the ancestral ceremony today. This granddaughter-in-law is dull, and thinks that the ceremony should be presided over by the Old Ancestor."
The old lady smiled: "No, no, I'm old, I don't have many years to live, it's time to hand over the presiding of this ceremony to you young people."
Hearing the old lady's words, Xu Shan and Xu Yi couldn't help but straighten up.
In the entire Xu family, they felt that they were the most promising young people.
If you were talking about Xu Pangda, he wasn't a cultivator, and his official position wasn't high, he had only passed the top three in the imperial examination.
As for the other Xu Ming.
That Xu Ming was indeed said to be very powerful.
But so what?
Xu Ming didn't have the support of any major sect behind him.
Even though he had climbed to second place on the Qingyun List, he was not convinced.
He had been cultivating all the time and had never gone down the mountain.
If he compared himself to Xu Ming, he didn't know who would win or lose.
"Old Ancestor, who do you want to replace you to preside over this ceremony?" Madam Lin asked with some nervousness.
Whoever came to preside over this ceremony would undoubtedly be the next head of the Xu family.
"This person is naturallyβ¦"
Just as the old lady was about to say the name, a man in a Feiyu uniform walked into the courtyard and walked straight towards the main table.
