Chapter 1220: Might, Influence, Power of his Status
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Fang Mu of the Fang Clan.
The old ancestor of the Fang Clan, an immortal king expert.
In this area, the strongest clan was undoubtedly the Fang Clan whose leader was an immortal king.
A lofty figure like an immortal king was a character that everyone could only look up to usually.
But at this moment, he actually personally came by the Chen Clan.
By right, this should be considered a glory for the Chen Clan but did they really feel glorious about this visit?
Right now, Father Chen only felt nervousness in his heart.
The old ancestor of the Fang Clan actually arrived here personally. However, it didn't seem that he was here for the wedding but was for the young man instead.
That young man, was none other than the junior apprentice brother of Lin Shuai, his son-in-law. Earlier, this young man suffered the insults from his other son-in-law.
This young man should originally be a valuable vip guest. Yet his seating was arranged all the way at the back, together with the servants, arranged by his daughter and son-in-law, causing the crowd to ridicule him.
This young man… The maiden beside him earlier almost had her liberties taken and they were still discussing how to deal with her.
Could Father Chen not be nervous?
He naturally was nervous. Not only was he nervous, he was also filled with regret, wanting nothing more than to smack his own head. At this instant, if he still couldn't see that Qin Wentian had a very high possibility to be the descendant of an extraordinary supreme aristocrat clan or disciple of an immensely powerful sect, he would simply be retarded. He naturally wouldn't feel that the Fang Ancestor Fang Mu had made a mistake. Fang Mu was an immortal king character, how could he make such a simple mistake? By assuming so, it would be as foolish as assuming an immortal was somehow killed by a mortal.
Earlier when he saw the actions of the green-robed middle-aged man, he already had some expectations of Qin Wentian's identity. But no matter how he guessed, he still eventually, underestimated Qin Wentian's origins. Being able to cause an immortal king to come personally and even refer to him so politely as Young Lord Qin… Clearly, his status was extremely extraordinary, not something he could ever imagined.
Usually, he would only be able to look up to these characters in admiration. These characters were supreme and lofty, but when that young man came to the Chen Clan for the wedding, they actually humiliated him and treated him so badly. One could very well imagine the feelings currently in Father Chen's heart...
"Huo Yan, Chen Xue, Chen Ao, those bastards." Father Chen cursed silently in his heart.
"My junior brother originated from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect." At this moment, Lin Shuai's voice entered the mind of Father Chen, replying to his earlier question. At this instant, Father Chen's heart shuddered violently as he drew in a deep breath.
So this was the case, no wonder… Immortal-king ranked powers? The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was a hegemon that could fight equally against the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. They had immortal emperors among them and was the master of the Cloud Prefecture.
The fathers of both Wan Jiansheng and Huo Yan were so frightened that their faces turned white. An immortal king actually personally came by the pay his respects to the young man. And just earlier, they had already offended this young man. They naturally understood what this meant. It meant that with just a single sentence, the young man could cause their entire clan to be destroyed, wiped away from the Cloud Prefecture.
The fact that they were top-tier clans in this small area counted for nothing. If they offended an immortal king-ranked power, their entire clans would be annihilated anytime. Hence, they were usually extremely cautious when they did things usually. It was just that they didn't expect today that a disciple from an ascendant-power was able to cause an immortal king to pay a visit here personally.
As for Huo Yan and Chen Xue, both of them were in a daze, and even suspected if they had seen things wrongly. An immortal king truly came by?
Let alone them, even Lin Shuai's wife Chen Yi, her beautiful gaze were also frozen now.
Everyone hurriedly stood up before quietly observing the situation. The immortal king stood before Qin Wentian but Qin Wentian was still sitting down and didn't seem to have any intentions to rise from his seat.
"Senior Fang, there's no need to be so polite. Please sit." Qin Wentian laughed. Given his current status today, there was actually no need for him to care about an ordinary immortal king. But since the immortal king has already personally shown up to pay a visit, he still had to maintain the basic level of courtesy. But even so, there was no need for Qin Wentian to over do it. Hence, he didn't bother to stand up to receive him.
He knew that there was no need for him to do so. Since the immortal king came here personally, it was evident that the immortal king knew of his identity. In that case, he who was thought of as the personal disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, the hegemon of the six prefectures, did he really need to stand up to greet an ordinary immortal king from the Cloud Prefecture?
When Fang Mu saw Qin Wentian sitting there casually, he didn't find it strange at all. He directly sat in a seat facing Qin Wentian, causing the hearts of everyone to shake.
Even with the arrival of an immortal king. That young man still remained seated calmly. Who was he exactly?
At this moment, Father Chen could no longer maintain his calm. An immortal king sitting at the back with the servants? Was this even proper?
"Senior." Father Chen walked over, respectfully standing there as he spoke, "Senior, please shift to the master seat."
"Today, I came here for a visit only because Young Lord Qin was present. Hence, I shall sit where he sits." Fang Mu casually laughed. As an immortal king, there was really no need for him to fawn over Qin Wentian but even so, his words were spoken beautifully. There was no other reason than because Qin Wentian was too famous. It was said that Qin Wentian was none other than the disciple the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord regarded the most heavily. In fact, he didn't mind warring with the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect for him, and no matter how the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect tried to, they still couldn't kill him.
Such an existence was bound to spring to boundless glory in the future. Since his Fang Clan was in the Cloud Prefecture, there was no harm and only benefits in bettering the relationship with Qin Wentian. In the future when news of this circulated, who else in the Cloud Prefecture would dare to offend the Fang Clan if everyone knew they had a connection to Qin Wentian?
If it wasn't for this, why would he, an immortal king, be willing to come here personally?
Father Chen's heart trembled. His gaze was filled with complexity as he stared at Qin Wentian. Remorse could be seen within as he sighed, "I, Chen, didn't know the identity of Young Lord Qin. If there's anyone from my Chen Clan who has ignorantly offended Young Lord Qin, could you be so kind as to forgive them? Also, may I invite Young Lord Qin to take the master seat?"
"Earlier, didn't someone say that I have a lowly status? This is why I was arranged to sit at the back. Since that someone arranged it this way, I naturally will just sit here quietly. After all, I'm here as a guest to offer my congratulations to my senior apprentice brother on his wedding day and have no intentions to create trouble. Clan Lord Chen, you can just go busy yourself with the wedding ceremony, there's no need to care about me."
Qin Wentian replied, exuding no arrogance, choosing only to state facts. Just like what he said, he was here to attend a wedding and not here to create trouble.
But at this moment, everyone was staring at him, not daring to take their seats. Father Chen's heart trembled. He turned back to Huo Yan as he cursed, "Huo Yan, get over here now."
"Go over!" Huo Yan's father didn't seem to mind Father Chen's attitude at this moment. How would he dare to? Qin Wentian was someone that could cause an immortal king to personally pay a visit here. How could his Huo Clan afford to offend such a person? Not only him, even the father of Wan Jiansheng was trembling with fear as he dragged his son Wan Jiansheng to the direction of Qin Wentian.
"My dog son was impolite. I, Huo, didn't recognised Mt. Tai, can Young Lord Qin please pardon us?" Huo Yan's father bowed and the spectators could only comment on their pragmatism. This 360 degree change in attitude simply caused everyone to sigh. Clearly, Huo Yan didn't have the intelligence of his father and expressions of a struggle could still be seen on his face.
"Why are you not apologizing and begging Young Lord Qin for forgiveness yet?" Huo Yan's father berated him.
Huo Yan still couldn't get the words out of his mouth as an expression of agony could be seen on his face, as indicative of the struggle he felt in his heart.
"I wouldn't dare to." Qin Wentian coldly laughed when he saw Huo Yan's expression. "Before this, my elder sister already said that even immortal kings weren't as arrogant as him. How can I still dare to accept his apology? Before this, it was made clear that he was trying to create trouble at the wedding banquet of my senior apprentice brother using his identity as a descendant from the Huo Clan. In that case, I will make sure to pay a visit to the Huo Clan in the future and see how awesome the Huo Clan is exactly."
Both the father and son turned completely ashen when they heard that. Especially so for Father Huo, he knew what this indicated. Given Qin Wentian's status, if he 'paid a visit' to the Huo Clan, what situation would that be?
"The Huo Clan gains so much glory, able to cause Young Lord Qin to be willing to go there for a visit. Don't you all know the identity of Young Lord Qin? Young Lord Qin obtained the position of top ranker during the hundred-year recruitment banquet of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. When the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor wanted to take him on as a disciple, he rejected him. After that, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord brought Young Lord Qin away and established the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. It's rumored that Young Lord Qin is the beloved personal disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord right from the start." Immortal King Fang Mu laughed.
"Pu dong!"
Huo Yan's father instantly knelt onto the ground, both his legs were trembling. The beloved disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord… Countless thunderbolts just went off in his mind. His son actually insulted the disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. This was simply...Oh god, he had no way to imagine the consequences.
"KNEEL!" Huo Yan's father roared at Huo Yan. With a plopping sound, Huo Yan also knelt down. The earlier arrogance he had was completely gone now. Right now, there was only chaos in his mind. He actually spoke of his own status, acting in such a lofty manner in front of a disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. He was merely from a first-tier clan in a small area. In the perspective of the six prefectures governed by the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, he was simply as insignificant as an insect.
Wan Jiansheng and his father were so frightened that they knelt down as well, their countenances were as pale as paper.
Father Chen was completely stunned. The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect...Lin Shuai only said that Qin Wentian was from there but he didn't say that Qin Wentian was the beloved disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord!
The junior apprentice brother of his son-in-law was actually the disciple of the Emperor Lord, and came here to participate in the wedding of his daughter. To think that he was humiliated so badly, and arranged to sit in the back with the servants. This, this...Father Chen's brain now felt like mush.
As for those servant girls who looked down on him with contempt earlier, all of them were shivering from terror, not daring to incline their heads now to look at Qin Wentian.
"Young Lord Qin, please pardon us." Father Chen's head bowed very low, causing even Chen Yi to be shocked. She glanced at Lin Shuai, she couldn't believed that her husband had such an impressive junior apprentice brother.
"Little Yi, I didn't intend to hide this from you. Junior apprentice brother Qin is from my sect back then when we were on a particle world. After that, he could arrived at his current height and accomplishments due to his own talent and hardwork. I didn't want to borrow the prestige of his status to raise our own statuses." Lin Shuai transmitted his voice over. Chen Yi slowly nodded her head, and recovered from the daze. She walked to the front and spoke to Qin Wentian, "Young Lord Qin, if there are things my father hasn't performed up to standards, please forgive him…"
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Qin Wentian hurriedly stood up. He didn't care about the others, but since Chen Yi has came over, he naturally had to stand up to greet her.
"Senior brother Lin has always taken good care of me, he is just like my elder brother. Since you are his wife, you are naturally my kin as well. Sister-in-law, you can just call me Wentian in the future." Qin Wentian's voice was very gentle, his words causing everyone to have a different look in their eyes when they stared at Chen Yi. Now, she was the sister-in-law of the beloved disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. This was no ordinary status.
Father Chen's heart pounded even more rapidly. In the future, the prosperity of his Chen Clan would have to depend on Little Yi and Lin Shuai. He decided that from now on, he would use everything to properly compensate them for the mistakes of today.
