The Ling Clan Banquet

There are 3 empires in the continent of Grand Edith. Yanlong empire was one of the 3 alongside the Holy Barbarian Empire and the Tian Empire, each ruled by an imperial family. Besides the empires there were sects and organizations not under any empire.

The Ling clan was a very ancient clan that has existed for thousands of years. Their resources and connections so profoundly deep that it could bring chaos to the entire continent. They were a sleeping behemoth that all the superpowers were wary of. The Ling clan is located in the Vermilion City, honoring the great vermilion bird one of the legendary creatures.

Ling Ren was flying on his spirit boat while he steered the boat towards the Ling clan compounds. Soon he arrive at the center of the city where a gigantic palace could be seen towering over the entire city. He put his spirit boat back and landed at the gate of the palace. He casually walked through the gates and headed toward the Main Hall where the meeting was held.

He soon arrived at the giant doors to the main hall which was already filled with nobles and sect members. As soon as he stepped into the hall everyone turned to look at him and whispers were heard.

Many nobles showed complicated emotions and some even frowned as they stared at the youngster walking through the door. There was one thing that was going in the minds of the nobles, arrogant, this young man was very arrogant as he disregarded everyone.

In the crowd of nobles, a young man about 18-year-old could be seen gritting his teeth with hatred in his eyes. Another young man at the same age was making a fist as he glared at Ling Ren.

It was not only them but almost all the young masters in Ling Ren's generation could be seen doing the same thing.

There were some exceptions, some of the noble women had hearts in their eyes as they looked at Ling Ren.

Although Ling Ren couldn't cultivate, he still looked like someone who was carved by the gods themselves. His skin was as fair as a fairy but still had very masculine side to it. His eyes were as black as the night sky but a bright light could be seen within them. It would not be an exaggeration if one was to say he was perfect in every way.

Unperturbed by their reaction, Ling Ren walked to his seat and sat down with his eyes closed. Now everyone in the room had an awkward expression on their face.

*Cough* *Cough*

" Since the main character of the banquet is here why don't we get started with the main event. As everyone's known today is Ren'ers 18th birthday and I would like to announce that my son would be engaged to her highness Ji Lan. " Ling Ren's father tried to relieve the awkwardness by dropping a huge bomb on the guests even Ling Ren himself.

As the father of Ling Ren, He was only inferior to his son in terms of look. He was a very handsome man in the prime of his life, he was also a very talented man in both cultivation and leadership. His only flaw has been that he's very energetic and goes around making babies all the time.

Everyone started to show different expressions some were happy while other frowned but they all hurried to congratulate the clan chief.

"Congratulations brother Ling" said an old man from a sect. "Ahh, brother Ling you sure know how to make surprises . Hahaha" soon everyone started chatting and praising the clan chief. It was as if he was the one marrying the princess.

All the girls had dejected expression on their faces because they knew they had no chance against competing against the number one beauty in the entire empire.

Ji Lan was the only princess of the Ji Imperial Family, making her the emperors favorite child. Rumor has it that the mother of Ji Lan was from a mysterious power more powerful than the empires. The first time Ji Lan came into public she made a turmoil across the continent! Many young masters and geniuses became obsessed with her.

"Since us old men hasn't seen each other in a while, why don't we let the younger generation interact by themselves?" Ling Feng awkwardly suggest. He looked towards Ling Ren and thought in his mind 'Sorry son, this ones on you. I'm just the messenger'.

"Yes we have much to discuss with brother Ling too" as soon as one of the elders agreed everyone started agreeing and left with Ling Feng.

As soon as the older generations left, everyone turned to look at the absent minded Ling Ren. Now all the young masters were giving death stares at Ling Ren as if he had murdered their entire family. While they were doing that, Ling Ren was still processing the content of what his father has just said. Soon his eyes started to shine and he smiled.
