Chapter 769 Man Long
Similarly, dressed in a crisp suit and looking about fifty years old with a ruddy complexion and a commanding presence, Man Long sat at the main table, equally shocked. He had never dreamed that Leng Mei’s wedding would be conducted in such a low-key manner. In his mind, he had thought that Leng Mei’s wedding would surely be an extravagant affair. The simple family banquet in front of him was completely beyond his expectations. At his level of influence, he of course understood the significance of this wedding ceremony.
Ever since the uproar from the last incident, he had investigated everything about Lin Feng. It was during that investigation that he learned Lin Feng was already engaged. He had expressed his dissatisfaction to Leng Hui, but at the time Leng Hui had said nothing, only sharing a piece of information that had a profound impact on him and stopped him from objecting to Leng Mei and Lin Feng being together. That was the fact that Meng Ping and Leng Hui’s wounds were actually treated by Lin Feng, and moreover, the "Living Bodhisattva" Liu Hong was likely killed by Lin Feng.
As the head of a special military department, he certainly knew what this meant—that Lin Feng’s medical skills were heaven-reaching, and Lin Feng’s power was unimaginable. If it was really Lin Feng who had killed Liu Hong, then Lin Feng would definitely be a miracle that the Cultivation World had never seen before! After receiving Leng Hui’s message, he had also looked into Liu Hong’s death and even visited the site where Liu Hong had died. The valley that had been destroyed beyond recognition was not the work of an ordinary S-rank expert. One could imagine how intense the battle there must have been.
With his master, the Old Monster, holding sway over Capital City, he was very familiar with the affairs of the Cultivation World. During the time of Liu Hong’s incident, there were no other S-rank experts in Capital City. The only variable could have been Lin Feng. He still found it hard to believe that Lin Feng was so formidable. Logically speaking, someone as young as Lin Feng couldn’t possibly have achieved such a level of power. Killing Liu Hong was something only someone in the late stages of S-rank could do, and at Lin Feng’s age, it was impossible for him to even be at the early stages of S-rank.
Yet now, attending the wedding, he couldn’t help but be amazed. He had assumed Leng Hui would find a way to make Lin Feng choose Leng Mei and have a grand wedding. But he had never expected that Leng Hui would agree to such a wedding. Only Lin Feng could have made the Leng Family yield like this, and the significance of Leng Mei marrying Lin Feng in disregard of her status was self-evident.
With these thoughts, Man Long fell silent. Although his face still beamed with a smile, his mind was occupied with other matters...
In the spotlight, the wedding officially began. Without an emcee, Leng Hui stepped forward to a specially arranged joyous platform, picked up the microphone, and started speaking.
"Today, I am extremely happy to witness the joyous occasion of my granddaughter and Lin Feng’s wedding. From today onward, Lin Feng is officially my Leng Family’s son-in-law, representing our family. Now let’s all raise our glasses, toasting them together, cheers."
Leng Hui’s voice was charged with excitement, making everyone present feel his emotions at the moment. His brief speech conveyed enough meaning, and the implications reached everyone in attendance. After speaking, Leng Hui lifted his wine glass, inviting everyone to join him in offering their best wishes to Lin Feng and Leng Mei.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
...
The crowd stood up in response, their actions as swift and decisive as befits military men. Everyone uttered "Cheers," the only word that could capture the extent of their happiness at seeing Leng Mei get married. Their hearts were filled with joy, and in that moment, their well-wishes and feelings of happiness were drained with their drinks, until not a drop was left!
However, hearing what Leng Hui had said, of course everyone understood the significance of his words—that from today onwards, Lin Feng would represent the entire Leng Family. The implications were clear. With Leng Hui being the soul of the Leng lineage, his words at the wedding undoubtedly promoted Lin Feng’s status, suggesting that Lin Feng could soon succeed Leng Hui as the head of the Leng lineage, a realization that proved to be an even greater shock to them and made them marvel at Leng Hui’s decision.
But everyone knew that Leng Hui was an absolute sage who wouldn’t speak carelessly. Such a statement meant that Lin Feng undoubtedly possessed the necessary strength. Realizing this, everyone had an epiphany as to why the Leng Family would marry off their granddaughter in such a manner. Lin Feng must exceed all their imaginations, otherwise Leng Hui would never entrust the Leng Family to him.
"Now the feast officially begins. Let Lin Feng and Meimei toast everyone. Make sure to drink up; nobody leaves sober!" Leng Hui drained his glass of white liquor and returned to the main table, his face beaming with happiness. At that moment, he was truly filled with joy. Leng Mei’s marriage had finally been settled, and now all that was left was waiting to hold a great-grandchild. The thought filled him with even more excitement.
Likewise, Leng Hui’s happiness infected everyone present. They all felt that he was more jovial than ever before, which heightened their own moods. Thus, the yard officially became lively, with everyone happily pushing their cups and changing seats, delighted to be part of Lin Feng and Leng Mei’s wedding.
"Grandpa, mom and dad, respected elders, let’s toast you all together," Lin Feng said, a hint of danger in his smile as he began to move from table to table with Leng Mei, starting naturally with the main table, where all the direct relatives of the Leng Family were sitting, adjuncts of the absolute lineage, and his own parents.
Lin Feng and Leng Mei simultaneously raised their glasses to toast. Today was their wedding day, and even the usually cold-as-ice Leng Mei had a faint smile on her face. At this moment, her heart was filled with immense happiness. After such a long time, she had finally become Lin Feng’s wife, which brought her inexpressible joy.
"Good kids, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."
"Yes, may your happiness last forever."
"Make sure to take good care of Leng Mei, don’t let her be bullied."
"Meimei is in your hands now."
...
Led by Leng Hui, everyone stood up to offer their blessings to the newlyweds while finishing off the wine in their glasses. With hearty laughter, they motioned Lin Feng and Leng Mei to move to other tables to continue the toasting. As there were many guests present that day, Lin Feng and Leng Mei of course needed to attend to all of them, without keeping anyone waiting at the table.
After toasting at that table, Lin Feng and Leng Mei began to toast at each of the other tables in turn. At every table, just like at the main one, everyone expressed their blessings and cheerfully drained their glasses of liquor. Some were so happy that they even took the opportunity to drink with Lin Feng individually, and Lin Feng, never refusing a guest, handled each encounter with calm composure and polite charm. He impressed all the guests, which only further highlighted his exceptional qualities.
...
Time flew by, and after three rounds of drinks and five courses of dishes, the banquet gradually reached its end. All the guests were very delighted, especially having seen Leng Mei find her happiness. They drank a bit more than usual, yet no one got out of control. Gradually, they all bid farewell to Leng Hui and the two newlyweds and left.
Finally, when Man Long was about to leave, Leng Hao came up to him. Leng Hao had always admired Man Long greatly and, if not for Man Long’s demanding duties, might have even become his disciple. As he had been sitting far away before, he hadn’t said much, but now that he saw Man Long leaving, of course, he wanted to greet his most admired Uncle Man Long.
"Uncle Man Long, you’re leaving too, let me see you out," said Leng Hao with a smile, holding great admiration for Man Long, who was one of the many cultivation masters he had been in contact with from a young age. Having become an S-rank master at a very young age and stationed in Capital City’s military special department, Man Long had always been close to the Leng Family. He often visited their home in the past, but had been too busy lately. If it hadn’t been for his sister’s wedding, he might not have had the chance to see Man Long at all.
"Yes, sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you too. Walk with me," Man Long replied happily upon seeing Leng Hao, whom he liked very much. If not for his busy schedule, he would have even considered taking Leng Hao as his disciple. Leng Hao indeed had an exceptional talent, which Man Long had always noticed, so he was pleased to accept Leng Hao’s offer to walk him out.
"Uncle Man Long, have you been very busy with work lately? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you." Leng Hao said as they walked. Since becoming an AAA-rank master, he had profoundly realized that different masters specialize in various areas. He was planning in his heart, if possible, to exchange knowledge with Man Long to gain experience and benefit his cultivation.
"It has been rather busy, too many things to attend to. Xiao Hao, what level have you reached now? Have you entered the AA rank yet? I heard you were stuck at the A rank bottleneck for quite a while," Man Long inquired, looking at Leng Hao with concern. Although he hadn’t visited the Leng Family for a long time, he was still informed of related matters. Leng Hao had been stuck at the A rank bottleneck for a long time, and he wondered if there had been any breakthrough.
To be honest, the speed of Leng Hao’s cultivation had truly been rapid. Being stuck at the A rank bottleneck for so long was indeed disheartening. Man Long wasn’t aware that the reason Leng Hao had been stuck at the A rank was due to Yuan Kun’s sabotage. If not for Yuan Kun, Leng Hao would have already become an AA-rank master.
"I’m now an AAA-rank master, Uncle Man Long!" Hearing Man Long’s question, Leng Hao responded with immense joy. In just a short amount of time, he had advanced from the peak of A rank to AAA rank, something unimaginable under normal circumstances. He felt incredibly proud of this achievement. After all, he was only eighteen years old—an eighteen-year-old AAA-rank master would certainly startle the entire Cultivation World!
