Episode 9: Famous in the Sky Chapter 17: The Debut
Yulan Calendar 10009 April 12, this day was the engagement day of the new star of the imperial capital ‘Walton’ and ‘Nina’, this pair of young lovers one was the brother of a peak Saint Domain powerhouse and the other was the daughter of the imperial emperor, with such a big engagement ceremony, the number of people that came was absolutely numerous.
The nobles who received invitations in the imperial capital were all very proud. Because many ordinary nobles were not qualified to receive invitations. After all, if even they were invited, the Earl’s Mansion wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many people.
Today’s Earl’s Mansion was full of joy, outside the Earl’s Mansion was a traffic jam, the carriages alone almost blocked half of Fushi Road, those nobles’ guards and servants were not qualified to enter the Mansion, and were all waiting outside. The evil guards and servants added up to thousands of people.
A sea of people!
Look at those carriages, one more luxurious than the other. Those noblewomen, noble ladies are dressed more beautifully than one another, more eye-catching than one another. This kind of banquet for the Count’s engagement is definitely the finest gathering among the nobles. Those who came here were all dignified figures.
“Brother, I always feel a little uncomfortable dressed like this.”
Walden had already spent a long time in the room, Walden was unprecedentedly nervous today.
Linley laughed, “Alright, Walden, you’re already handsome. Be confident!”
Wharton took a deep breath.
“Go, go to the hall and greet the guests.”
Linley chortled with a smile, “You can’t have Grandpa Shiri greeting guests outside all the time. For example, if His Majesty comes over, what does it look like if you don’t greet them personally?”
……
Linley and Walden took a breath when they entered the hall through the side door. Good heavens. There weren’t even that many people. And it was only some of the nobles that were here now, many of the big names had yet to arrive.
“An imperial capital is an imperial capital, there are far more nobles than in Finlay City.”
Linley sighed.
Back then, when Linley had participated in Alice and Karan’s engagement ceremony, the guests on that day obviously couldn’t catch up to this engagement wedding in Walden today, and the level of the guests was also far inferior to this one.
The number of nobles in a kingdom was naturally less than the number of nobles in an empire.
As soon as Linley and Walton entered the hall, they immediately became the center of attention in the entire hall, Walton’s tall stature simply too eye-catching. Many people greeted them warmly.
“Walden, come here.”
The butler, Shiri, immediately greeted.
Wharton immediately rushed to the entrance of the hall, coming to greet one arriving guest after another at the entrance. Linley, on the other hand, was walking casually through the hall with a wine glass in his hand, occasionally clinking glasses with some of the guests.
Those nobles were also very self-aware, none of them sticking around to annoy Linley. Instead, they raised their glasses slightly from a long distance.
However, ……
Some of the noble ladies, however, were staring at Linley. They all knew that Linley didn’t even have a wife nowadays. A man who was only in his twenties and still a peak Saint Realm powerhouse. Where would one find such a man?
“Headache.”
Linley saw that there were actually three very proactive noble ladies walking directly towards Linley from different directions in the hall, and Linley could only pretend that he didn’t see them.
When these three noble ladies were still a meter away from Linley.
“Whew,” a soft but tough wind blew on those ladies, causing those three noble ladies to be unable to get even the slightest bit closer to Linley no matter what.
Immediately, Linley raised his cup with a still faint smile and walked towards a corner of the hall to sit down first.
“Master Linley he just now?”
A beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed noble lady perked up, “What magical move was that?”
The other two noble ladies didn’t know either.
It didn’t matter if they didn’t know, it didn’t affect Linley’s status in their hearts. Instead,…… in their eyes, Linley was becoming more and more mysterious and powerful. In fact, Linley’s move just now was nothing more than a simple utilization of the wind.
“That day in the martial arts arena. Did you see Master Linley’s Dragonblood Warrior transformation? It was so wild, I was so excited.”
“It’s very exciting then, that’s the type I like, those boys in the academy are all flimsy and don’t have a bit of swagger.”
……
Linley’s hearing was too good. Hearing the chatter of some of the noble ladies, Linley was speechless for a moment in his heart. His own dragonblood warrior transformation, and he still called it wild? Still called manly?
“Your Majesty. To-”
The voice of the attendant who greeted the guests at the entrance to the front courtyard raised by a large margin all of a sudden, obviously shouting out with the use of Dou Qi, so much so that even the guests in the hall could hear it clearly.
The nobles in the entire hall immediately quieted down, all looking towards the outside of the hall. There were also many nobles outside the hall. Because there were too many nobles today, the hall alone could not really accommodate them.
“So Joanne’s here?”
Linley also got up and walked out of the hall.
“My lord.”
The uniformed Gates greeted Linley.
Today, the five Barker brothers were also wearing handsome uniforms, patrolling the surroundings, and the tiger-backed physiques of these five brothers, walking within the Earl’s Mansion alone, caused the hearts of those nobles to tremble. Each and every one of them secretly sighed – worthy of being a dragon blood warrior family, even the family guards were so good.
His Majesty Johan was still as dazzling as ever as he held the Empress’s hand and walked over, followed by several guards.
“Walden.”
His Majesty Joanne was the first to see Wharton, and looking at the stout and handsome Wharton, he nodded his head in satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad.”
It was then that Linley came over.
“Your Majesty, rest inside.”
Linley smiled.
“Good, this Emperor and Master Linley have quite a bit more to talk about.”
His Majesty Joanne said warmly, and then the two of them stepped into the living room. As for the other nobles and ministers, they knowingly just complimented from the side.
One by one, the nobles of the imperial capital arrived one after another, but Linley didn’t even get up to greet them. Those nobles also took it for granted. A Saint realm powerhouse greeting them? How could that be possible?
“President of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, present-”
The voice was once again high pitched, the president of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, one of the continent’s three largest chambers of commerce, although the Dawson Chamber of Commerce itself did not have any Saint Realm experts, there was no doubt about its economic strength.
Even Imperial Emperor Qiao An stood up and said to Linley, “This Monroe Dawson is a close friend of this emperor.”
Linley also rose.
Yale had definitely come with Monroe Dawson, so it was only natural for Linley to come and greet him.
“Haha ……” Monroe Dawson walked right in with a big shy belly, Yale also followed behind his father, Monroe Dawson saw His Majesty Qiao An and even bent slightly, “Monroe meets the great His Majesty Qiao An. ”
His Majesty Qiao An also smiled warmly, “Monroe, here today, Linley is the master, you don’t have to be too polite to this emperor.”
“Grandmaster Linley, I’ve known him for a long time, I just didn’t realize that it’s only been a few years since I turned my eyes. Grandmaster Linley has become so accomplished, haha ……”
Monroe Dawson’s eyes narrowed with laughter.
“Uncle Dawson, just address me as Linley.”
Linley said with a smile, he and Yale were good brothers. It was only natural to be a little more respectful to his father as well.
“Walden, come meet Uncle Dawson.”
Walden also walked over.
“What a handsome and sturdy boy.”
Monroe Dawson’s eyes lit up when he saw Wharton, and it was obvious that this figure of Wharton’s surprised him.
……
One by one, the aristocrats arrived, and even Brummer came. Brummer was indeed very gentlemanly today and even congratulated Wharton.
It was just that Walton was somewhat guilty of this Brummer in his heart. It always felt that Brummer’s mouth was not right.
“Brummer, why isn’t your big brother here today?”
His Majesty Joanne smiled and said to Brummer.
“My big brother is currently in closed-door meditation, preparing for the next month’s battle with Lord Hedson.”
Brummer said with a smile.
“Oh, that’s also right.”
His Majesty Johan nodded his head.
Brummer then looked at Walton, who was welcoming guests at the gate, and a cold light swept through his eyes. This time, Walton had obtained Nina, causing Brummer to be very dissatisfied in his heart.
“The Rock Sword Saint ‘Hedson’ Lord has arrived-”
This voice rang out, and His Majesty Joanne, Linley, Monroe Dawson, and a large number of other people all immediately stood up and walked towards the outside.
“Hedson has unexpectedly come.”
Linley was also pleasantly surprised. He had thought that Hedson hadn’t come in preparation for next month’s battle.
It was only a moment later that Hedson, dressed in gray robes, walked in alone, and His Majesty Johan, Linley, Walden, and the others all greeted him.
“Haha. Walden, congratulations.”
Hedson smiled a gracious smile before looking towards Linley and joking, “Linley. Your brother is engaged, where are you, the big brother?”
Linley was stunned, he didn’t expect Hedson to ask this.
“Haha ……”
Beside him, His Majesty Joanne also laughed out loud. Nodding his head even, he said, “Linley, you should get married as well, if you have your eye on someone, feel free to tell this Emperor, this Emperor will definitely send that lucky girl to you.”
Linley cried and laughed.
“Lords of the Martial God Sect, to-”
This single voice resolved Linley’s predicament, and everyone prepared to greet the Martial God Sect’s visitors.
“I didn’t expect the Martial God Sect to send people as well.”
His Majesty Johan exclaimed.
Hedson nodded his head from the side as well, the Martial God Sect was a behemoth even in the Yulan Continent, and it was rare for them to go to someone’s wedding and such. Unless their division brothers got married, the other division brothers would attend.
Only to see the two of them, Ranko and Kasroth, walk in side by side.
Kasroth said with a smile, “Haha, Brother Warden, congratulations.”
In Kasroth’s opinion, if his ground teacher could treat Walton like this, then Walton was qualified to be addressed as ‘Brother Walton’.
However, his cry of address caused Linley, Qiao An, Hedson and the others to be puzzled.
Martial God Sect heirs were all very proud.
They seldom looked down on onlookers, but Kasloth’s behavior was truly puzzling.
“Today, on behalf of the entire Martial God Sect, the two of us, Master and Brother, congratulate you on your big day, Walden. This is a gift that Sensei personally ordered me to bring.”
Kasroth directly handed out a brocade box.
Teacher?
The people around the scene were shocked, a gift from a Martial God?
“Thank you so much.”
Linley was the most composed one, smiling as he accepted the congratulatory gift, “Kasroth, Ranko, go, rest inside and take a break.”
The usual people received their congratulatory gifts in front of them, but how could the Earl’s Mansion’s recipient of congratulatory gifts dare to receive them with the Martial God Sect’s landlord? It was an honor for people to come empty-handed.
The entire Earl’s Mansion was a hubbub of activity, such as some of the great nobles of the dukes and marquises talking to each other, while a group of people such as Linley, His Majesty Joanne, Monroe Dawson, Kasroth, Ranko, Hedson, and so on were also casually chatting together.
This was a pretty impressive wedding guest.
Just by looking at the seats, one could tell that the people at Linley’s table were either Saint Realm powerhouses, imperial emperors, or chamber of commerce presidents. And just then – “A Saint realm powerhouse is flying in.”
I don’t know who shouted it out, but Linley and the others all looked through the hall doors towards the sky outside, and there was indeed a figure floating down from mid-air.
Linley, His Majesty Qiao An, and the others all stood up in confusion.
Whoever it was, a Saint realm powerhouse had come to at least give some face.
The man’s figure flickered in midair and he arrived in front of the hall’s door, he had long white hair, a white beard, and was clearly very old, but he had dreamy sky-blue eyes.
“Haha, I came here uninvited, everyone won’t be unwelcoming me.”
This white-haired old man said smilingly.
He then didn’t look at Linley and the others who had greeted him, instead, he directly walked towards the original seats of Linley and the others, and Hedson, Kasloth and the others who were halfway in the way busily made way, and this white-haired old man directly sat down in the original Granite Sword Saint ‘Hedson’s’ seat.
“This is a good seat, I’ll do it here.”
This white-haired old man said smilingly.
His Majesty Joanne frowned, this person was a little too rude. Linley also felt that this white-haired old man was a little too arrogant.
“I don’t know …….”
Before Linley had a chance to say anything, that Granite Sword Saint ‘Hedson’ was very respectful and even said, “I didn’t expect Your Excellency to come here today as well, it really surprises us.”
Next to him, Kasroth, Ranko, and the others also nodded their heads in response, their attitudes humble as hell.
