Ye Cang slowly arrived at CloudDragon’s side, and reached out his hand with his usual indifferent smile. “Brother CloudDragon…”
“PaleSnow…” CloudDragon also reached out a hand. The two of them grasped hands, but didn’t compete in strength.
ThornyRose’s parents took notice of this interaction between them.
“CloudDragon, that kid, actually shook hands with him. I know how that kid usually acts…” Mr Qin said, amazed.
“Indeed…” Mrs Qin faintly nodded.
Taking advantage of the time Ye Cang and CloudDragon were shaking hands, FrozenCloud ran, disappearing like a wisp of smoke.
Mr Su watched with a frown, somewhat displeased. “This girl is becoming more and more unmannered…”
FrozenBlood stood at the side not saying a word. She continued to watch Ye Cang and ThornyRose.
At this time, an old man entered from outside. The lively chatter stopped as everyone looked towards him and bowed their heads in greeting. This was was one of the Qin family’s 5 elders, Qin Zhong, ThornyRose’s grandfather, who was a powerful figure in the capital.
“Grandfather!” ThornyRose happily ran towards him.
“Haha~ Zhen’er, I hear you brought a boyfriend home. I have to at least test him a bit…” Qin Zhong smiled brightly and embraced his granddaughter, then looked towards Mr and Mrs Qin.
“Father…” The two of them greeted. The surrounding guests called out to him respectfully, one after the other. “Lord Qin…”
“Which one of you is my granddaughter’s boyfriend!” Old Qing called out.
Ye Cang was a bit speechless, this was getting more and more out of hand. Wasn’t he just acting as some crazy woman’s boyfriend? He felt like he was in some parade. He slowly raised his hand and announced himself, “Me sir… Ye Cang”
“Father, don’t scare away the hard to come by male son-in-law. Zhen’er finally stopped being lesbian…” Mrs Qin came to his side and whispered.
“Right, you are correct, I didn’t think enough. Our family line is dependent on this white hair. I won’t ask for anything else…” Old Qin quickly nodded and whispered back. He then put on a kind smile, “Come come~ young man, come and let me see you…”
ThornyRose wanted to smash her head into a wall. Especially because of FrozenBlood, who was off to the side acting disappointed and speaking in a voice that was not too loud nor too soft, “Zhen’er, you’re so heartless. But I can only give up, and wish you well… and get over you…”
“Zhen’er, Little Icy has already generously forgiven you.” Mr Qin squeezed her shoulders to comfort her. He then turned and nodded towards FrozenBlood. “Little Icy, thanks…”
Ye Cang doubtfully walked towards Old Qin, and the two of them faced each other.
“Young man, show me your strength. Hit me once in the chest! Come! Use all your power!” Old Qin patter Ye Cang’s shoulder and then stuck out his chest.
“That’s not a good idea. I’m very strong…” Ye Cang hesitated.
“Haha~ Interesting. Come, you can’t hurt me…” Old Qin laughed out loudly. The surrounding guests also began to laugh. They thought this white hair didn’t know how high the heavens were.
“I’m really very strong…” Ye Cang repeated seriously.
“Less nonsense. I’m telling you to hit, so hit. Why all this rubbish…” Old Qin roared.
Mr and Mrs Qin, as well as the guests, were all startled by Ye Cang’s throbbing veins. The sight of him with all his veins visible was frightening. This punch would probably be pretty strong. Just its appearance looked pretty ferocious…
Old Qin faintly smiled, and applied a layer of qi to defend himself. Ye Cang’s jab exploded onto his chest, instantly breaking through the layer of qi. Old Qin was shocked. Such strong penetrative power!? He quickly circulated his qi to add another layer, however Ye Cang’s punch had already landed.
Ye Cang retracted his throbbing veins. The punch just now probably hurt quite a bit. The old man didn’t defend in time. He quickly offered praise, “Lord Qin is truly unrivaled…”
CloudDragon couldn’t help laughing. He knew how freakishly strong Old Qin Zhong was, however, he really let his guard down too much, so he suffered a punch. However, that punch was truly very strong. This showed that Ye Cang was also not an ordinary expert. It appeared it they would be rivals not only in the game. These thoughts made his lips curled into a smile…
Mr Qin noticed his father was in a lot of pain. “Alright, let’s end the banquet here for today. Thanks everyone for coming…”
Once he spoke, it only took a while before only Ye Cang, ThornyRose, and her family remained in the banquet hall.
“Stinking brat, that was a good punch. It was so fast I couldn’t put up a second defence…” Old Qin saw that the people were gone and sat down with a sigh. “I’m going back to rest. Brat, come to the courtyard tomorrow morning…”
Ye Cang faintly nodded. If he praised the old man again, he would probably flip out… so he chose to remain silent.
Mr Qin watched his father return, recalling his childhood. He put a hand on Ye Cang’s shoulder and said gratefully, “Good-Son-in-law, that punch earlier, well done…”
ThornyRose, Ye Cang, and Mrs Qin all broke out in cold sweat. His form of address had changed. “…”
