Chapter 452

Chapter 452: Is this appropriate or what?

A man dressed in a Feiyu outfit entered the courtyard under everyone’s watchful eyes.

The man wore a Tang crossblade at his waist.

The well-fitted Feiyu attire accentuated his tall and imposing figure.

And not only was this young master handsome, he exuded an aura that was both fierce and refined.

Many of the ladies present couldn’t help but glance his way, their beautiful eyes brimming with admiration.

Compared to the pleasure-seeking young masters from the Xu and Qin mansions, this young man was on an entirely different level.

Walking up to the main table, the man bowed respectfully to the elderly lady: “Old Patriarch.”

“Brother Ming, you’re back,” said Lady Xu with a smile. “Come, Brother Ming, see who else is here.”

Lady Xu stood up to introduce him: “This is your older brother Yi, currently cultivating at Tianzhuan Sect. The sect leader has praised Brother Yi as a once-in-a-century talent.”

“Had heard much about my esteemed brother, and now seeing you in person, it’s clear you are indeed extraordinary,” Brother Ming bowed deeply, showing proper respect.

Yi stood up and returned the bow, saying, “What nonsense, though it seems this is our first meeting.”

Yi had originally planned to find ways to suppress the increasingly popular Brother Ming to establish his position as the eldest son in the Xu mansion.

But unexpectedly, the other party was so polite, leaving Yi unsure of where to start.

Ming smiled, “When we were kids, Brother left for cultivation, naturally we didn’t meet.”

“Ho ho ho, isn’t today the day we meet?”

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the brothers, Lady Xu felt even more delighted and continued introducing others.

“Brother Ming, this is your second brother Shan, a once-in-a-century Pure Yang body type, now a disciple of Yan Yang Sect’s leader, who even betrothed his daughter to Brother Shan.”

“Long have I heard of my second brother’s name, and Yan Yang Sect is equally renowned. I’ve heard the sect leader can dry up a river with just one punch?” Ming asked with a smile.

Hearing the praise for his sect leader, Shan felt greatly satisfied: “Of course, our sect leader also has a mount named Fire Kylin. When Brother visits Yan Yang Sect, I’ll show you around.”

“That would be wonderful, I’ve never seen a kylin.” Ming replied.

Not just kylins, Ming had even seen a true dragon, a ten-thousand-year-old true dragon, and they even bathed together.

Qian Lady and Lin Lady, seeing how respectful Brother Ming was to their sons, became even happier.

This Brother Ming is the emperor’s favorite minister, recently gaining immense popularity.

Yet such a person shows utmost respect to their sons, proving the power of their sects.

“Brother Ming, do you recognize this person? Do you remember?” Phoenix asked with a smile.

Ming turned and looked at the lady beside Phoenix, his eyes lighting up instantly: “Lady Qin, it’s been a long time. How have you been, Lady Qin?”

“I’m fine, didn’t expect you’ve grown so tall already.” Lady Qin looked at the young man standing before her, her eyes shimmering with nostalgia.

Back then, Ming was only as tall as her waist.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and Ming had grown into such a fine young man.

Even though they hadn’t met for some time,

Lady Qin had heard of Ming’s achievements over the years.

Knowing that Ming had become the emperor’s trusted aide, even ranking second on the Azurecloud List, Lady Qin truly felt proud of Ming.

Ming straightened up and smiled: “Lady Qin flatters me. After all these years, you still look as youthful as ever.”

Lady Qin chuckled and shook her head: “When did you become so smooth-talking? It’s been over a decade, I’m old.”

“Can’t tell at all.” Ming continued, “I prefer to speak the truth.”

“Hehehe, you!” Lady Qin laughed heartily, “By the way, I heard you traveled and met Qingwan. Is she doing well?”

Ming nodded: “Don’t worry, Lady Qin. Qingwan is fine. She often talked about you during our travels, wanting to visit you, but too many events occurred, keeping her occupied.”

“After Tianxuan Sect reached JuBei City, there were more reconstruction tasks. And recently, something happened within the sect, so Qingwan couldn’t return for the ancestral rites. Please don’t blame her.”

“But I believe once Qingwan has some free time, she will definitely come to visit you.”

Recently, Ming learned that Tianxuan Sect was participating in a trial related to the Northern Wilderness.

As the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan Sect, Qingwan naturally couldn’t return.

“Our generation represents the future hopes of Xu Mansion and Qin Mansion. In the future, these two mansions will rely on us.”

Grandma Xu also remarked nearby, her tone filled with emotion.

“Come, Brother Ming, sit here.”

Grandma Xu patted Ming’s hand and kindly pulled him to the main seat.

Everyone else was momentarily stunned.

They thought they must have seen wrong.

Where did the Old Patriarch seat Brother Ming? At the main seat?

Ming didn’t expect Grandma to let him sit at the main seat either.

Earlier, he thought the empty spot was reserved for someone important, but surprisingly, Grandma wanted him to sit there.

“Old Patriarch, this might not be appropriate.”

Ming declined.

“What’s inappropriate about this?” Grandma insisted, her voice calm but audible to everyone. “Currently, in Xu Mansion and Qin Mansion, you are the most suitable person to sit in this position.”
