sea City and go to Wu Sannian's house in the evening.This was also the plan he thought of while in Deepsea City. If he went to Wu Sannian's home during the day, he would definitely be treated as a fra...Chapter 741: The Music Comes to an End

Wang Xiong and the others remained standing in their spots, looking towards the direction of the entrance. Although they found it hard to believe, a voice deep down told them that this was true. When they thought about it, however, they found it somewhat unbelievable.

A while later, they all sat down leisurely. The other elders looked at Wang Xiong and said, "Wang Daoist, this... could Xiao Daoist have really broken through"

Upon hearing the elder's question, the others also turned to look at Wang Xiong. Among them, Wang Xiong was one of the most powerful in terms of cultivation. Furthermore, the brothers from the Wang family had the best relationship with Xiao Yu, so everyone looked towards the Wang siblings, waiting for their response.

As these elders spoke, they drew the attention of the others inside. In this second small hall, almost all were cultivators, and they recognized the elders seated at the main table. Thus, when these elders exhibited such expressions, everyone displayed shock as well.

Except for those who knew that Xiao Yu had already reached the peak of the Qi Condensation stage previously, everyone else assumed that the elders meant that Xiao Yu had broken through a minor realm. They didn’t know that what the elders implied was that Xiao Yu had broken through to a major realm and achieved a legendary level. Otherwise, how could they be so shocked given their cultivation levels To them, breaking through a minor realm was indeed important but hadn’t reached this level of shock.

When Wang Xiong heard the elders' questions, he also smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly. They had never seen someone who had reached the peak of the Qi Condensation stage before, so they didn't know what such a person would look like. However, Xiao Yu used to be at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage back then, giving him an ordinary feeling at that time. But today, Xiao Yu gave them a different impression, hence their doubts.

In fact, in their hearts, they were already certain but unwilling to accept it. After all, if Xiao Yu had broken through, it would be unprecedented. Li Qiong had cultivated for over a hundred years and still possessed such heavenly land luck, yet he hadn’t achieved a breakthrough until now. But Xiao Yu had broken through amidst this chaotic world—had anyone reached that level in a century

Wang Xiong exchanged glances with the elders, but could not hide his surprise. At this moment, they no longer felt like eating or drinking and sat at their seats pondering.

Originally, they wanted to ask Xiao Yu about it, but today was Xiao Yu's wedding day, and they didn’t expect him to have such a background. They all knew how busy Xiao Yu was, so nobody brought up the matter of asking him anything.

However, they had planned to leave tomorrow, but now they seemed to need to stay longer. If Xiao Yu really broke through, it would be significant news for them!

Before, they thought that even if Xiao Yu was exceptionally gifted, it would take him fifty years to break through. Although he was just a step away from the peak of cultivation, this step seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Even if Xiao Yu broke through after fifty years, at that time he would only be in his seventies. They had all heard Li Qiong talk about how even among those major sects, someone reaching the peak of cultivation in their seventies was extremely rare—most wouldn’t break through until they were eighty or ninety. In fact, 95% of people couldn’t break through at all throughout their lives.

But now He’s barely in his twenties. How did he manage to do this Even if he has some secret, it's too unbelievable!

However, they also knew that the higher Xiao Yu’s cultivation became, the more prosperous our nation’s spiritual realm would become. Although this was so, there was still a nagging discomfort in their hearts. They had cultivated all their lives; even at the end, many could only reach the late stage of Qi Refinement and breaking through seemed impossible. But Xiao Yu At barely twenty years old, he has already left them far behind and reached an unimaginable height.

After leaving this place, Xiao Yu went around to the tables with guests outside to serve drinks in a round of toasts.

"Brother Xiao, congratulations on your wedding..."

"Uncle Xiao..." When Xiao Yu and company reached one table, an adult and a child stood up and addressed him.

Upon hearing their voices, Xiao Yu turned his head. The two were Tang Qing, the mayor of Jing city, and his son Tang Ran. Seeing them, a smile appeared on Xiao Yu’s face. Tang Qing was okay, but Xiao Yu really liked Tang Ran despite his young age; his calligraphy already had an air of a master.

"Mayor Tang, hello, thank you for coming," Upon seeing the two, Xiao Yu greeted Tang Qing first and then looked at Tang Ran: "Little Tang Ran, have you been practicing writing"

"Uncle Xiao, I've continued to practice. Thank you for your calligraphy; my teacher has seen your work and said that it’s already reached a master level. Your ink treasures are truly rare to come by—my teacher asked me to thank you!"

After Tang Ran heard Xiao Yu's words, he spoke to him.

As Xiao Yu listened to Tang Ran's words and looked at the child, he couldn't help but nod approvingly in his heart. Not only was Tang Ran’s calligraphy of a masterful style, but for someone so young, he already had the composure of an accomplished gentleman. Therefore, Xiao Yu could confidently say that with such a noble lineage, if Tang Ran put in more effort, his future would be bright.

"Haha, as long as you like it. Remember, being a person is just like writing: one must be upright. Only when a person is upright can their handwriting be upright; similarly, if someone's handwriting is upright, they themselves won't be too bad!"

After hearing Tang Ran’s words, Xiao Yu straightened his face and said to him.

"Yes, Tang Ran has remembered it. Thank you, Uncle Xiao!" Tang Ran said very solemnly after seeing the expression on Xiao Yu's face and hearing what he had to say.

Tang Qing stood beside Xiao Yu, also feeling a wave of emotions. When he first met Xiao Yu, he never imagined that Xiao Yu would come from such an influential family. Just now when those elders mentioned that Xiao Yu was Zhao Lingyun’s son outside the room, it had already caused him to be secretly alarmed.

Although Tang Qing was still young when Zhao Lingyun died, back then Zhao Lingyun was a dominant figure in Beijing, and even as a primary school student at the time, he had heard of Zhao Lingyun. Zhao Lingyun could be considered an exemplary figure for these wealthy youth, so hearing that Xiao Yu was Zhao Lingyun’s son made everyone very surprised.

Even Chu Guoqing was no exception; the Chus were merely a third-rate family in Beijing at the time and he had never even met Zhao Lingyun. However, Zhao Lingyun's name was as thunderous to him as it would be to others, and Zhao Lingyun could also be considered their role model. The Wang Family back then wasn’t among the top-tier noble families; they were only second-rate at best, and a bottom-of-the-barrel second-rater at that. Yet, as an adopted child of such a family, Zhao Lingyun became famous in Beijing by his mid-twenties. Hence, these second- to third-tier noble youths all looked up to him.

At the same time, he also understood why Governor Huang rushed over when he heard about Xiao Yu's predicament in the deep sea; back then, Governor Huang was considered Zhao Lingyun’s brother-in-law. It would be impossible for him not to take action if his only child had an issue.

Although it was common nowadays that people treated others coldly once someone left, no one from Zhao Lingyun's group had ever neglected the treatment of his family out of any sense of indifference after he died. This showed how charismatic he was.

Xiao Yu chatted a bit more with Tang Qing and his father before continuing to make rounds and pay respects by going around each table. After Xiao Yu finished making rounds, they returned to the main table.

Now, the true core members of China were already aware of Xiao Yu’s background—descendants of the Xiao Family! Although the Xiao Family seemed distant to them, as long as Li Suijun and the others were there, everything would be fine. Of course, without these elders present, even if he was a descendant of the Xiao Family, no one would likely care about him. But with these elders around now, that's why everyone showed such enthusiasm towards him.

More than two hours later, the banquet finally came to an end, and everyone left. Those who had places to stay went back to their own homes, while those without accommodations were all arranged housing by Xiao Yu.

The buses then took Yunxi's relatives home. Although today’s feast consisted of rare delicacies, they barely ate anything. Today’s grand wedding ceremony left them in awe, and they also realized where exactly this place was. Even some figures only seen on news broadcasts appeared before their eyes, how could they still have an appetite

Despite everything, none of Yunxi's relatives complained. The events of today would likely be the topic of conversation among them for a long time to come and also serve as material for boasting to neighbors and friends.

Yunxi’s parents followed the buses back to the ancient city; after their relatives left, they still needed to see them off, so they did not stay here any longer. Yunxi also left with Xiao Jianying, leaving only Xiao Yu behind by those elders' request.

In addition to Li Suijun and Xiao Yu, Zhang Dahan and Song Hushan, the direct descendants of these elder figures, were retained as well.

Li Suijun led Xiao Yu and Song Hushan to Hall One's smaller hall; at this point, only two people remained in the small hall while everyone else had left.

The remaining two individuals were China’s First and Second leaders. Earlier, Li Suijun had informed them to stay behind.

Though busy with daily affairs, even finding time for today's wedding ceremony, these elders' request would ensure that they would not leave no matter how busy they are.

In fact, among others, only the First and Second leaders truly understood Li Suijun and his peers. Similarly, each generation’s First and Second leaders were aware of Li Suijun's specific responsibilities.

"Little Gu, Little Liang! Today we asked you to stay for two reasons: one is to bear witness, and the second reason is that there are some things I need to inform you!"

After arriving at the small hall, Elder Song Grandpa sat down on a seat and addressed the First and Second leaders.After settling everyone down, Xiao Yu left and headed towards his own house. Those two were now strangers to him, so the incident earlier had no effect on him at all.When he got home, after washing up...
