Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Time flew by and the wedding day arrived.

Chaoxia Peak was bustling with activity, and the Xu Family Compound was packed with people, exuding joy and celebration.

The city lord's mansion even dispatched city guards to stand watch at the city gate, specifically to guide those attending the wedding banquet. There was no other way; City Lord Qi Changming was too eager to advance his career.

Actually, the Xu family didn't have many guests; it was mainly because Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo had too many friends.

The person receiving gifts at the door kept pens in hand, and most of the gifts received were quite precious and rare.

After all, given Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo's status and strength, those who could be invited by them were almost all prominent figures.

He was either a supreme elder of a sect or the patriarch of a family.

Moreover, it wasn't just the Great Qi Dynasty; there were also some powerful figures from the Black Feather Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty, and the gifts they sent were naturally of high quality.

This wedding alone will make a fortune from the gifts received.

People like Lu Zhen, the city lord of Yuhe City, were always very cautious when they came to the Xu family compound. They treated the Xu family members who led the way with utmost respect, for fear of accidentally offending some important figure.

Lu Chenlong exclaimed in a low voice, "My goodness! I've been in the Lingyue Sect for six years, and I've seen more elders here in just a short time than I have in the past six years."

Su Xin is the former sect leader and now the strongest elder of the Lingyue Sect. His daughter is getting married, and which elder of the Lingyue Sect would dare not attend?

At that moment, they saw Xu Qingzhou sitting and chatting with many important figures in the distance.

After hesitating for a moment, Lü Zhen still did not choose to go over and say hello.

There was nothing he could do; there were just too many important people around, and he felt a bit inferior.

Even Lü Qingqiu, who was always arrogant but lacked practical skills, was stunned by the gathering of such big shots.

The three of them followed the Xu family members who were leading the way to a relatively secluded table, where Lü Zhen took a closer look.

Well, everyone at this table is at the Purple Mansion Realm, and their status and position are not bad. They are currently having a lively conversation.

"It's really lively. It feels like all the third-rate or higher forces in the Great Qi Dynasty have sent people here."

"Not only the Great Qi Dynasty, but also the top forces from the Black Feather Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty have come."

"These people were all prodigies from the same era as Elder Su and Pavilion Master Yu."

“The Lingyue Sect has a deep foundation but limited connections, while the Wanbaoge is the opposite; they have far too many partners.”

"Although the Xu family is only a fourth-rate power, after today, it is no exaggeration to say that they are the number one family under the royal family of the Great Qi Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhen was momentarily dazed.

With the backing of the Lingyue Sect and Wanbao Pavilion, even though the Xu family is only a fourth-rate power, no one dares to provoke them.

In the past, when he met Xu Qingzhou, he could still greet him with a smile and call him "brother".

After that, whenever Lü Zhen saw Xu Qingzhou, he could never bring himself to call him "brother."

In this situation, he didn't even have the courage to go over and greet Xu Qingzhou in person to congratulate him.

After all, the people around Xu Qingzhou were mostly Heavenly Palace Realm experts, powerful figures in the three major dynasties. He, a mere city lord, had no right to speak to them.

"Did you notice? Clan Chief Xu is actually at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Keep in mind that he is only a little older than Su Xinyan and Yu Shufei. It's clear that his talent is also outstanding."

"Clan Chief Xu's talent is second only to the most outstanding talents of his time! He is only below the Ninth Prince and Fairy Su."

"Yes, otherwise how could he have been chosen by two exceptionally talented women?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhen and Lü Qingqiu were both dumbfounded.

Lü Qingqiu, in particular, looked horrified.

"What? Xu Qingzhou has reached the Nascent Soul Realm? That's impossible?!"

Lu Zhen quickly pulled her aside, signaling her to keep her voice down.

However, her words were overheard by the guests nearby, who turned to glance at Lü Qingqiu.

Lu Zhen quickly said, "I'm sorry, everyone. My daughter has had too much to drink and is talking nonsense. Please don't mind her."

The other guests at the table curled their lip, saying nothing, but inwardly they felt a sense of disdain for the three of them.

Lu Qingqiu was still in a daze. She clutched her clothes with both hands, stared blankly into the distance, and muttered to herself.

"How could that be? When we first met, I was at the peak of the Profound Core stage, while he was even less advanced than me, only at the late stage of the Profound Core stage."

"It's only been a few years, and he's already at the Nascent Soul stage? How can someone's cultivation level improve so quickly?!"

Lu Qingqiu initially looked down on Xu Qingzhou because of his weak strength, but he never expected him to be so powerful now.

Could this be the legendary saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate the poor in their prime"?

Even the well-informed Lü Zhen was momentarily stunned and muttered to himself.

"The world is full of wonders. Perhaps he has a special physique and belongs to the kind of genius who achieves great things later in life."

Lu Qingqiu suddenly picked up the fragrant spiritual tea in front of him and took a sip.

"This tea is very bitter."

Lu Qingqiu's face showed bitterness, and a complex expression flashed across her face, including envy, jealousy, hatred, and regret.

Xu Qingzhou, whom she had initially looked down upon, turned out to be so outstanding.

She thought Su Xinyan and Yu Shufei were blind, but it turns out she was the only one who was blind.

Lü Qingqiu looked at Lü Zhen, who was standing to the side.

“Father, I should have listened to your advice and spent more time with Xu Qingzhou.”

If I and Xu Qingzhou end up together, what kind of situation will I and the Lü family be in now?

Lu Zhen gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "It's all in the past. Perhaps you and Chief Xu were never meant to be together."

At first, he simply thought that Xu Qingzhou was a remarkable person and worth getting to know better, which is why he tried every means to curry favor with the Xu family and Xu Qingzhou.

I never imagined he would be so outstanding. I underestimated him. I should have been more willing to put in more effort back then.

Lu Zhen felt sorry for his daughter and, although he regretted it, he didn't say much. But Lu Chenlong, who was standing next to him, was different and delivered a direct blow.

“Aunt, if you had married Chief Xu back then, you might be one of the brides now, and our Lü family could have enjoyed some glory as well.”

Back when the Xu family was still in Yuhe City, he could still get to see Xu Muge through the connection between the two families.

After the Xu family moved away, Xu Muge became stronger and stronger, and he rarely saw Xu Muge anymore, which made him unable to curry favor with him.

Therefore, he has always held a grudge against Lü Qingqiu for not choosing Xu Qingzhou, and even felt that his aunt had no taste.

Before Lü Qingqiu could say anything, the other guests at the table suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha...."

Although they didn't say anything, Lü Qingqiu understood that they were mocking her.

Lu Qingqiu, who had a strong sense of self-respect, was furious, but dared not offend them, so she could only get up and leave with a flushed face.

Lü Zhen and Lü Chenlong quickly chased after them.

The laughter at the table hadn't stopped, and they even blurted out what they were thinking.

"That woman was really interesting. She was so ordinary, yet she dreamed of becoming Chief Xu's bride. What a fool."

"Yes, she's not strong enough, her looks and figure are just so-so, and she doesn't have any background. What qualifications does she have to stand next to Chief Xu?"
