Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 368 - 140: Double Blessings, Invincible Hall Master

Chapter 368: Chapter 140: Double Blessings, Invincible Hall Master

Jing Baikou said, "You can’t be blamed for this; you just haven’t adjusted yourself yet. Now that you have adjusted, do you know what the first thing you need to do is?"

"Feng’Er knows."

...

...

A few days later.

"A wedding invitation?"

Li Yuan looked at the red invitation courteously delivered by the Jing Family’s envoy.

The envoy, nodding and bowing, said, "It’s my family patriarch’s granddaughter, and the groom is a son from your Cui Family."

Li Yuan stared at the invitation, somewhat puzzled.

After the envoy left, he went to the Cui Family to inquire, only to find out that "it’s not a significant person from the Cui Family, just a young lad of the Eighth Grade from a lower branch of the Cui Family."

The romance and marriage of such an Eighth Grade Cui Family disciple with a female clan member from the Jing Family are trivial matters, unlikely to reach the attention of the people above.

As for the patriarch’s so-called granddaughter, he hadn’t heard of her; perhaps her status was temporarily elevated?

Cui Family’s Patriarch Cui Heng found it quite baffling.

At this moment, he looked at Li Yuan.

In his eyes, Li Yuan was already on equal footing with him.

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Patriarch, are you going?"

Cui Heng said, "This is a formal invitation from the Jing Family; I must go."

Li Yuan said, "Then... I trouble the patriarch to say that I’m busy with forging weapons."

Cui Heng said, "Alright, I’ll prepare a wedding gift for you."

Li Yuan said, "Thank you, Patriarch."

"Oh, no need to be polite." Cui Heng laughed.

Li Yuan smiled back in thanks.

To be honest, he didn’t want to go to such places with extremely complicated relationships. The undercurrents in the Divine Wood Hall, coupled with the infiltration of the Black Lotus Sect and Xinghai, made the situation exceedingly complex.

He just needed to wait for the banquet to end and see the results.

Ever since he revealed his identity as a "Demon Tamer," people who once looked down on him, even when addressing him as "Master Li" with a sense of superiority, began to view him as an equal.

This indicated an elevation in his "weight" of authority.

And it meant... he had a more legitimate reason to confront the Black Lotus Sect and Xinghai.

Just as he was about to leave, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind.

"Master Li, you must attend this banquet.

Without you, the banquet will be incomplete, haha."

Both Li Yuan and Cui Heng turned around, only to see a dashing man, waving a folded fan, approaching. It was none other than the Cui Family’s Ancestor Cui Wuji.

They both saluted.

Li Yuan curiously asked, "Ancestor, this... I’m not the one getting married? How will it be incomplete if I don’t attend?"

Cui Wuji seemed to be in high spirits and laughed, "Master Li, you have to go.

The Hall Master has emerged from seclusion, and he personally appointed you."

Li Yuan’s expression changed slightly.

Cui Wuji said, "Rest assured, it’s a good thing."

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Alright, let’s walk and talk."

Then, he proceeded to narrate the events in detail.

Listening, Li Yuan couldn’t help but feel that these stalwarts truly differed from the ordinary. The so-called "divided faction," through continuous maneuvering, had astonishingly transformed into a "unified faction"...

In short, this time, the Jing Family aimed to express their stance through a wedding, indicating: from now on, the seven great families of the Divine Wood Hall will unite as one, together fighting external enemies, with no more betrayal.

And at the core, it was all because of him.

The Jing Family reported this as soon as the Hall Master emerged from seclusion.

Now, even the Hall Master was in high spirits.

As for why it was him, Cui Wuji didn’t say.

Li Yuan truly couldn’t fathom the reason, for he wouldn’t have known that on the path to being targeted, he somehow drifted onto another course altogether.

If he knew, he would be shocked for a long time because... he always thought that, logically, the Jing Family would straightforwardly come after him, not that while a war erupted outside, the inner city continued with its intense struggles, obscuring the situation from everyone.

...

...

The Jing Family’s wedding banquet.

Li Yuan and Cui Huayin rode in a carriage, passing through the Triple Gate.

As soon as they passed the gate and lifted the side curtain slightly, a festive aroma engulfed them. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Big red double-happiness characters, festive paper-cuts, and rows of suspended red lanterns could be seen everywhere.

The lanterns shone brilliantly, illuminating the thin mist that had risen at some unknown time and some rare flowers and trees only found in the Inner City during the festive night.

The air was filled with invigorating scents, with a hint of women’s rouge, intoxicating floral fragrances, meat aromas wafting from afar, and the blood scent from the Meat Field enticing the vital energy and blood. Even without stepping out of the carriage, one could feel the prosperity and hustle and bustle here with closed eyes.

Inside the carriage, Li Yuan’s strong build was wrapped in a white robe, but as his muscles were more "compact," his slightly loose robe made him appear neither fat nor thin, somewhat unoriginal.

Cui Huayin said, "Fighting outside the city, festivities inside, it must hold deep significance..."

Li Yuan said, "This is the unification within the Divine Wood Hall."

Cui Huayin suddenly said, "I’ve broken through to the Sixth Grade."

Li Yuan already knew, as his wife broke through last night. After all, yesterday afternoon, she was still at Seventh Grade, and this morning, she had advanced to the Sixth Grade.

Since both her father and husband were Weapon Forgers, Cui Huayin just broke through to the Sixth Grade and already had a Top Grade Sixth Grade Weapon. Her overall combat power leaped from "325~340" to "615~630," surpassing Yan Mu, though still not as formidable as the Black King.

Li Yuan feigned shock and asked, "Really?"

Cui Huayin didn’t hold back her aura, with her vital energy resonating in the cramped carriage. Her black hair moved gently without wind, her eyes sparkled as if the full moon radiated light, enhancing her appearance to resemble a Divine Maiden, pure and unblemished.

"Thanks to your guidance, the core of the Withering and Flourishing Skill is neither in withering nor flourishing but lies in reincarnation between them... even if the wildfires burn endlessly, with spring winds, life reborn."
