Before the Fight

Naturally, the young man was Chen Yue dressed very beautifully. He had his chest puffed up and a proud smile were on his face. Because of the previous Chen Yue who likes to act mighty all the time, Chen Yue who transmigrated into his body also take that characteristics.

"This is young master Chen Yue from the Chen family in the capital. He personally came here from a long journey just to attend this old man's birthday. Many thanks for coming here young master Chen" Old man Mei continuously praise Chen Yue when he entered. Many people stare at the old man with envy and jealousy in their eyes. They all thought how lucky must be the Mei family to have a close relationship with the Chen family. One of the strongest family in the empire that can even rival the imperial family.

When Chen Yue entered the room, the Fang and the Liu family were all staring daggers at him. They didn't expect that someone from the Chen family would come here, much less the young master of the family. But even with all of this, the city lord still refused to believe that the relationship between the Chen and Mei is that close. He really didn't want to believe it so he was forcing himself to denied what was already in front of him.

The coming of Chen Yue in the room indicates the start of the celebration. many representative from different families in the Flowing Water City express their congratulation for the old man while handing their presents.

"Patriarch Mei, please accept this small gift from our family" the city lord Fang Ming held a apple like fruit in his palm. It was a striped fruit with three different colors. Beside the city lord was his son, Fang Yu. Although he was in front of the old man Mei, his eyes were glued to the beautiful face of Mei Yin.

"City lord, you should not have bothered to prepare a gift. But since you are willing to give this to me, I shall take it reluctantly" Mei Ba Dao's voice had a hint of helplessness, but the light in his eyes were shining brightly. The gift that the city lord brought for him is a Three Striped Flame fruit. It has an ability to help cultivators, especially those who were using fire Qi to enhance their Qi and purify their body. If he use it, it will definitely bring him great result in cultivation.

'What are you saying taking it reluctantly. From the looks on your face, you couldn't take away your eyes from it' the city lord said under his breath as he almost choked in his own saliva when he heard what Mei Ba Dao said.

After giving their present, the city lord push his son forward and said, "Patriarch Mei, this is my son, Fang Yu. Look at him, isn't he handsome also his talent in cultivation is great among those in his age"

Fang Yu then cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Greeting to patriarch Mei"

"Hmm, good young man. This young but you already reach this stage in cultivation" old man Mei nodded his head towards Fang Yu as he praised him. He could clearly see that the cultivation level of this young man was only a little lower than his beloved granddaughter. This Fang Yu is at Qi condensation stage 3.

After talking for a bit with the city lord and his son. The city lord excuse themselves and went back to their table. Mei Ba Dao had a grin on his lips and thought, 'This Fang Yu is disgusting! He couldn't even hide his desires to my granddaughter while in front of me'

When the Fang family left, the Liu patriarch and his son then makes a move. Carrying a small box in his hand, Liu Cheng present it to Mei Ba Dao and said, "Patriarch Mei, please accept this small gift from our Liu family"

Liu Cheng said exactly what the city lord said earlier. Mei Ba Dao then take the small box and opened it. Inside the box was small red orb. Seeing this red orb, patriarch Mei already knew what it was.

"Patriarch Mei, this is a beast core of a rank four Three eyed Blazing Snake. It was obtained by my family several years back. I heard that your granddaughter is a genius in cultivation. With the help of the beast core, she can easily manage to make a breakthrough to another realm" Liu Cheng said as he eyed Mei Yin in the corner of his eyes. Of course patriarch Mei noticed his small action but he didn't said anything to it. He felt proud as they admire his granddaughter, but they must not do any sneaky moves or else he will take action personally.

Just like the city lord and his son, the Liu family pair of father and son talk with the old man for a while before leaving. The two asks many questions mostly about Mei Yin, while sometimes reminding the old man about his response for the marriage proposal.

Currently, Chen Yue was being surrounded by the beautiful ladies from the city. Most of them were exposing some parts of their chests and legs as they tried very hard to gather his attention. The seductive looks in their faces makes some men in the room to feel the heat in their lower body.

Chen Yue was really having a very hard time being surrounded by women. Their thick make up that covers their whole face, and the strong smell of their perfume makes Chen Yue uncomfortable. But he still tried to interact and talk with them with a smile on his lips.

"Brother Chen, can I invite you for a dance" Mei Yin who was near her grandfather was irritated and angry towards the ladies who were surrounding her Brother Chen. She were gritting her pale white teeth in anger as she strode forward towards Chen Yue who was surrounded. Then she invited him in a dance.

When Chen Yue heard Mei Yin's angry voice, he instantly knew what makes her angry. With a smirk on his face, he touched the face of the lady in front of him gently and said with a beautiful smile on his face, "Excuse me ladies, but I will have to agree to her request"

The ladies who were surrounding him were clearly disappointed when he left. Watching him holding Mei Yin's hand, they all felt envious and jealous towards Mei Yin. But just by looking at them, they both look like a perfect couple. One was a otherworldly beauty that can cause downfall of an empire, while the other one was a handsome man that was the dream of every young lady like them.

The two then walks at the center while holding each others hands. The guests all stares at them and suddenly, a music started. The two dance together like there were no one around them. They ignored the stares they receive and just move their body according to the music. Both of them wear a beautiful smile on their face as they stare with each other.

The guests around them all watch the two dance at the center. Their graceful and elegant movement catches their attention. But what makes them more interested is the intimate atmosphere around the two. They were like a married couple that deeply love each other. The trust and faith in their eyes signifies the deep relationship between the two. The guests around at then thought that there must be something going on between the two.

While everyone were watching with a smile on their faces. There are also people who were having a hard time right now. And that is the Fang and the Liu family. Both the son of the two family wanted their son to marry Mei Yin. Fang Yu and Liu Cheng both have an ugly expression in their face as they clenched their fists and watch at the pair who was dancing.

Unknown to many, there are two figures moving silently and swiftly in the roof of the Mei family mansion where the celebration were taking place. The two were releasing a thick killing intent and their whole body were covered in black clothes. A gold emblem were on their chest, and they were both holding a short sword in their hands.
