There was a commotion among the cultivators present. The Wang family of Jinlong Mountain had a divine cultivator in charge, and their foundation was profound. The power of the Qingha Islands was far beyond comparison. There was a world of difference between them.
Wang Changyang, as a disciple of the patriarch of the Wang family, unexpectedly showed up at Yang Qinglong's birthday party without any prior signs. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary guest, perhaps a son-in-law.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, our two families are in-laws. Fellow Daoist Wang attended your birthday party, but you didn't even say hello to our Liu family. That's really not nice."
A pot-bellied old man in a green robe joked with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Tianfeng, don't misunderstand me. I didn't know about it beforehand. Changyang just came to visit these few days."
Yang Qinglong laughed, looking very happy.
"I'm visiting you this time to ask for your hand in marriage."
Wang Changyang's eyes fell on Yang Yunqing, his face full of tenderness.
Seeing this, the monks understood that Yang Qinglong was announcing this news at the birthday party, inviting all major forces to a banquet under the pretext of hosting a birthday party.
If the Yang family announced this news unilaterally, some people would definitely suspect that they were using the Yang family's identity as a pretext. But now it is different. Wang Changyang has shown up in person, and no one will doubt this matter.
Daring to impersonate a core member of the Wang family and defraud others is courting death.
The marriage between the Yang family and the Wang family is equivalent to holding on to a strong leg, and the development prospects are better. If the major forces in the Qingha Islands want to deal with the Yang family, they must take the Wang family into consideration.
"This fourth-level puppet is my betrothal gift. Five years later, the wedding will be held at Jinlong Mountain. You are all welcome to come and have a drink."
Wang Changyang clasped his fists and said this, his face full of pride.
He went to propose marriage in person, giving the Yang family enough face.
"Okay, I will definitely come to your house and ask for a drink when the time comes."
"It's a deal. Sun will definitely come to visit you when the time comes."
"I watched Yunqing grow up. When she gets married, I will go."
······
The Yang family’s relatives and old friends all expressed their willingness to attend their wedding.
Han Changming and others had no relationship with the Wang family and did not express their opinions.
"Today is our ancestor's birthday. If we have not been able to entertain you well, please forgive me, elders and fellow Taoists."
Yang Yunqing's voice is as clear and moving as an oriole singing out of a valley, very pleasant to listen to.
"My fellow Taoists, you are welcome. I will not leave until I am drunk today."
Yang Qinglong spoke in a warm tone and sat down in the main seat.
Yang Yunqing and Wang Changyang sat next to Yang Qinglong, demonstrating their status.
"The Wang family of Jinlong Mountain sent a fourth-level puppet beast to congratulate Brother Yang on his further advancement in cultivation."
An old man in a green robe who was as thin as a bamboo pole stood up, walked to Yang Qinglong, and took out a metal sphere that was shining with green light. The surface of the metal sphere was covered with mysterious spiritual patterns and it was filled with amazing spiritual energy.
"A fourth-level puppet beast as a birthday gift, how generous."
Liu Tianfeng took a breath and said in surprise.
Wang Changyang came to propose marriage, and the betrothal gift was a fourth-level puppet beast. Now he sent another fourth-level puppet beast. In other words, the Yang family married off a Nascent Soul cultivator, got two fourth-level puppet beasts, and gained a powerful in-law.
With the Wang family as a relative, the Yang family’s future prospects are limitless.
"The Liu family presents a jar of Jade Lotus Wine and a top-grade magic weapon. I wish Brother Yang good luck every year."
"The Sun family presented a thousand-year-old Qingli bamboo and three pieces of thousand-year-old Yuyang wood, wishing fellow Daoist Yang and the Yang family to reach greater heights."
······
All major forces sent gifts, and some forces even offered additional gifts.
"My little sister is sending you five top-grade Green Rhinoceros Pills as a small token of my appreciation, not a token of respect."
The Fairy of Flowers took out an exquisite green jade box and handed it to Yang Yubin. Yang Yubin thanked her and accepted it.
"Fairy Yang is thoughtful. It's a rare trip to Yuding Island. Why not stay a few more days?"
Yang Qinglong said with a smile, his tone sincere.
The Fairy of Flowers nodded and agreed.
If it were in the past, she might not have agreed, but it is different now. With the Yang family and the Wang family getting married, the Fairy of Flowers naturally has to give face to Yang Qinglong.
"Han, I don't have any good stuff, but five each of the Golden Scale Jade Dew Pill, Seven Star Jade Wei Pill, and Cloud Sea Pill. These three kinds of pills have the effects of healing, detoxifying, and increasing mana, respectively. They are all top-grade pills. Congratulations to Brother Daoist Yang on making further progress in his cultivation."
Han Changming took out three exquisite golden porcelain bottles and handed them to Yang Yubin.
According to his original plan, he only intended to send three Zihao Pills, but Yang Qinglong announced the news of the marriage between the Yang and Wang families, so he naturally had to change his plan.
He and Yang Qinglong had no friendship, so even if he gave Han Changming three Zihao Pills, Yang Qinglong would not make things difficult for Han Changming for such a small matter. Han Changming gave Han Changming fifteen top-grade pills mainly for the sake of the Wang family's face.
Making friends with the Yang family will be of great benefit to Han Changming's future development.
All the monks were shocked when they heard this.
Yang Qinglong's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly reacted, smiled heartily, and said, "I have heard that Fellow Daoist Han is proficient in alchemy. Why don't you stay on Yuding Island for a few more days so that our Yang family can show our hospitality as a good host."
"Sorry to bother you then."
Han Changming agreed, which was within his expectations.
Wang Changyang looked at Han Changming a few more times. The Wang family did not lack fourth-level weapon refiners, but what they lacked was a fourth-level alchemist who could refine top-grade elixirs.
Other forces presented gifts one after another, but they were far inferior to Han Changming's gift.
After presenting the gifts, the monks toasted each other.
"Friend Yang, today is your birthday. Why not hold a treasure hunt so that the younger generation can also share in the joy."
Old man Xuanhe said with a smile.
When high-level monks hold birthday celebrations or important celebrations, they will hold some competitions to let the younger generations learn from each other. There are prizes for winning, and it is also a chance for the younger generations to make a name for themselves. After all, the participants bring the younger generations here to train them through this opportunity.
"What's so interesting about a competition between juniors? If you ask me, why don't we just spar with each other and stop when we're done? Wouldn't it be better to make friends through martial arts?"
Wang Changyang suggested, his eyes fanatical.
He comes from an extraordinary family, but he is not a good-for-nothing and his personal strength is not weak.
Yang Qinglong frowned. Swords and knives have no eyes. When Nascent Soul cultivators spar with each other, it would be bad for anyone to get hurt. Wang Changyang has been crowned with the aura of a genius since he was a child. He has few rivals and is arrogant because of his talent. If he is not allowed to spar with others, he will probably be dissatisfied.
Liu Tianfeng saw Yang Qinglong's dilemma and said with a smile: "Swords have no eyes. Today is Brother Qinglong's birthday. Let's do it next time! How about a beast fight?"
Spirit beasts are relatively resistant to blows, so it’s no big deal if they get injured.
"Beast fighting! That's fine, I just happened to have subdued a third-level fire rhinoceros."
Wang Changyang thought about it for a moment and agreed.
He changed his tone and said, "It's boring to just fight the beasts. How about everyone bring out something as a prize?"
"Okay! I agree."
Liu Tianfeng was the first to express his agreement. He could naturally see that Wang Changyang was young and energetic and eager to win.
"Beast fighting!"
Han Changming narrowed his eyes and a look of interest appeared on his face.
