AST 1181 - The Other Four Names, Reserves? Arrival of People from Yu Clan and the Royal Family
Qing Shui had just finished his morning practice when he saw Yan Yangchi and the others coming. This time around, there seemed to be slightly more people than previously.
"You've come out from your seclusion. How does it feel? Shall we have a meal together?" Qing Shui smiled and greeted them.
"That's the reason why we've come. It has been almost a month since we last had the food you made. Just thinking about it makes us feel excited." Yan Yangchen grinned.
"Mmm, Brother Qing Shui, your cultivation level is now unfathomable!" Yan Yangchi looked at Qing Shui and said seriously, smiling.
Yan Yangchi's words caused everyone to look at Qing Shui seriously. Many of them weren't able to tell the depth of Qing Shui's prowess at first glance. He would just appear to be like an ordinary person. This was what was strange.
Amongst them, Yan Yangchi was the strongest. In great aristocratic clans, even one like Yan Clan, one would already be considered a topnotch existence to become a Grade Two State Master before one reached 100 years old. And this was when the person had received the clan's legacy. Otherwise, this would be something that was hard to imagine.
Right now, Qing Shui's cultivation had soared to be double what it was before. The cultivation he had gone through during this period of time made Qing Shui feel that even his own speed had increased by quite a bit. In the future, even if he were to cultivate by himself, his speed would be about the same. If he were to achieve a breakthrough to his martial techniques, then his strength would be increased.
"I've made some breakthroughs during this period of time!" Qing Shui casually brought them away from the topic and looked toward the other four young men. However, compared to Yan Yangchi and the others, these people were relatively weaker, by quite a lot.
"Qing Shui, I've forgotten about it. Come, let me introduce you. This is Yan Yangxing, Yan Yanghong, Yan Yangsong and Yan Yangliu. This is Qing Shui," Yan Yangchi introduced them.
Qing Shui had already heard previously that the four of them, together with the five people from Yan Yangchi's side would form the nine people participating in the competition. He didn't know what the rules to this competition were.
"Hello!" Qing Shui greeted them politely. It was just that the four of them didn't seem to be that willing to meet Qing Shui. This made him feel a little strange.
Qing Shui let it be and didn't show anything on his face. He welcomed the group into the room. The three ladies requested to be the ones to cook and Qing Shui smiled, letting them be. Primarily, Yan Jinyu was the one who had brought this up, Yan Huoyun went along with it. Yan Jinyu had probably not wanted to see her being the only one who was taking action while the others were resting.
After all, as long as they had the spices and could cook the food, there would be no real problems.
Qing Shui and the others waited in the hall. Yan Leng didn't pay much heed to the other four. Yan Yangchi was the eldest and the other four were their younger cousins.
Yan Yangchen seemed to not pay them much heed either. It was clear that the people here were split into two factions.
Qing Shui didn't find things like this strange. It wasn't strange to see such things happening in a great aristocratic clan. Although the clan's head was Yan Dingtian, the bigger the clan, the harder it was to make it such that everyone was united as one. At least it would be impossible for the entire clan to be fully united. Every family has their problems and such situations weren't strange. Everything was due to benefits and interests.
