Chapter 479

"Brother Xiaoyuan, Feng Xionglin has arrived."

"Okay, I'll be out right away."

After dinner, Li Zhuiyuan went to the temple and has been busy ever since.

At this moment, on the altar in front of the boy, there are two side pits on the left and right. One pit contains a golden statue of a Bodhisattva, and the other pit contains a bronze mirror.

Currently, Li Zhuiyuan has just set up their placement locations. Next, he needs to integrate these two items with the Taoist temple itself in order for them to truly exert their effects.

Fortunately, when Li Zhuiyuan renovated the temple last time, he made provisions for future upgrades and renovations in the initial design; otherwise, it would have had to be demolished and rebuilt.

Even so, this "covering" operation is a highly difficult and precise task.

The boy walked to the water vat, wet a towel, wiped the sweat from his face, then opened the barrier and walked out of the dojo to greet Feng Xionglin with Tan Wenbin.

We should show proper etiquette, after all, they dug up their ancestors as a gift.

The small truck was parked at the beginning of the path, and Feng Xionglin surveyed his surroundings by the moonlight.

If it weren't for Zhang Li, the ghost messenger, guiding him from the passenger seat, he would most likely have driven directly to that peach grove that ordinary people couldn't see.

Unexpectedly, the true residences of the two Dragon Kings' families are in such an ordinary place. Perhaps, this is the true meaning of seclusion.

Or perhaps, there is some great opportunity or great fortune here?
Feng Xionglin touched his bald head, and when he saw Li Zhuiyuan and the others walking towards him, he immediately concealed the searching and scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Thank you for your hard work."

Feng Xionglin smiled and said, "Senior, you're too kind."

Li Zhuiyuan noticed that Feng Xionglin's aura was weak, which meant that he was seriously injured.

So much time has passed since that wave in the Little Hell. During this period, Li Zhuiyuan, along with Tan Wenbin and others, finished two projects and held meetings. Feng Xionglin also has a lot of merit to squander, so his injuries from last time must have healed long ago and couldn't have remained until now.

Therefore, this must have been a new injury sustained while digging up the body, and it was inflicted by the Feng family members themselves.

Before lighting the lamp, each generation of lamplighters will form a contract with their inherited power. If they want to gain the help of their inherited power in the future, that power will suffer karmic backlash.

It's common for people to divide up resources and artifacts, like Chen Xiyuan, and build a separate cave dwelling in the Wuzhishan area. But I've never heard of anyone dividing up their ancestors' remains along with the artifacts.

Even if Feng Xionglin knew this was a fantastic deal, he couldn't possibly go back and discuss it openly with his family, since he hadn't lit the lamps a second time.

Therefore, in order to avoid or minimize this causal backlash, he could only play the role of a "thief," a thief who comes to steal corpses.

You can't keep it a secret; you have to keep your family from finding out your true identity. This is truly risking your life.

In fact, he almost died in his own ancestral grave, passing away prematurely with his ancestors.

However, he did not deliberately tear open his clothes to reveal the terrible wounds on his body. This was a business deal that made him a fortune, and it was not appropriate to play the victim during the transaction.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let's first pay our respects to your elders."

Feng Xionglin smiled and nodded, saying bluntly, "Yes, let's inspect the goods first."

Runsheng, who followed behind, lifted Li Zhuiyuan onto the freight car.

Feng Xionglin personally broke the seal, then unlocked the chains, and opened all three coffins one by one.

The Feng family is a treasure from head to toe.

At this moment, the three corpses lying in the coffin—two men and one woman—were all aged wines.

This shows that Feng Xionglin did not try to fool himself with inferior products from earlier years.

"Senior, this is my great-aunt..."

Feng Xionglin gave a detailed introduction, even bringing along a tombstone, which served as a way of indicating the raw materials and production date.

The three corpses were not as lifelike as they had been in life, but they were not dehydrated or emaciated either, and they had a metallic sheen with two black and one silver.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Your elders, their voices and appearances are still vivid in my mind."

Feng Xionglin nodded, indicating that he was satisfied with the inspection.

Tan Wenbin placed the incense burner over, and Li Zhuiyuan held the incense, flicked his little finger to break off half of the incense, performed a half-bow, and finally inserted the incense back into the burner.

Seeing this, Feng Xionglin stopped smiling and bowed along with the boy.

After the worship ceremony, Li Zhuiyuan handed a notebook to Feng Xionglin.

Feng Xionglin was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took it.

He swallowed hard, somewhat incredulous. This...it was given to him?
Li Zhuiyuan: "Open it and take a look."

Feng Xionglin: "Senior, no rush."

Li Zhuiyuan: "If I've seen it, you have to see it too, that's fair."

Feng Xionglin opened the notebook. The cover was an ordinary notebook, but the paper was of the highest quality. There were no words on it, but rather a series of paintings. Feng Xionglin only tried to immerse himself in it for a short while, but he immediately felt a dynamic rhythm and principle in it, which resonated with the Feng family's original secrets that he had learned.

"call……"

He immediately closed the book, having only read the first page. And even with just a glimpse of the first page, the effect was already so obvious. It was genuine, and its value was even greater than he had expected. This book could revise and improve the Feng family's original techniques.

Feng Xionglin: "Thank you, senior!"

Such a straightforward trading style deeply impressed Feng Xionglin, who skipped all the expected eighty-one difficulties and directly achieved success.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I actually don't like people calling me senior."

Feng Xionglin tentatively called out, "Brother Xiaoyuan?"

Li Zhuiyuan nodded in agreement.

Feng Xionglin took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Tonight was truly fucking exhilarating.

Tan Wenbin gestured to Runsheng to carry two bodies, while he carried one himself, and they took the three bodies to the Taoist temple. Lin Shuyou was left behind.

Li Zhuiyuan said to Feng Xionglin, "There's nothing else to do right now, so I won't keep you any longer."

The book has already been given to him. What Feng Xionglin wants to do most now is to find a quiet place to recuperate and meditate, striving to achieve a new breakthrough before the next wave arrives.

Most importantly, Luo Xiaoyu can help set up formations in the village, while Feng Xionglin can only help with farming.

Feng Xionglin didn't stand on ceremony and bowed, saying, "Brother Xiaoyuan, if you need anything, Xionglin will follow your orders."

After saying that, Feng Xionglin opened the car door and prepared to get in and leave.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm not going to keep you here, but there's no need for you to leave in such a hurry."

Feng Xionglin: "Please enlighten me, Brother Xiaoyuan."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I should at least see the old lady at home and offer her some incense."

Feng Xionglin blinked hard: "That's how it should be, but it's getting late, and I dare not disturb the old lady's rest."

Li Zhuiyuan: "There aren't many guests at home. The old lady is waiting for you."

Feng Xionglin immediately said, "I'm so sorry, please lead the way, Brother Xiaoyuan. It's not right to make the elders wait for the juniors."

Liu Yumei wouldn't wait for Feng Xionglin, but once Feng Xionglin delivered the "goods," A Li would have to get up.

Li Zhuiyuan had mentioned it to Grandma Liu during the day, so he suggested they meet up.

The door to the east room opened, and Ah Li, who had finished dressing, came out. She was wearing a purple velvet cloak, which was easy to take off in the warm dojo, as it was cold and windy outside.

Feng Xionglin was already familiar with A Li, but he still had to bow to her again. A Li nodded in response and turned to walk towards the temple.

Taking deep breaths, repeatedly taking deep breaths, Feng Xionglin finally mustered the courage to enter the east room.

Liu Yumei sat in a chair, dressed in her usual casual clothes.

The old lady no longer needed to rely on external things to elevate herself. When Feng Xionglin walked in, she only glanced up, which put pressure on this young and outstanding member of the Feng family.

Feng Xionglin first solemnly performed the Feng family ritual, and then, like an ordinary junior, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Yumei.

May the old lady enjoy good health and long life.

This wasn't meant to flatter; it was genuinely from the heart. The Feng family wasn't the Dragon King's family, and the stories they heard from childhood were definitely based on the Dragon Kings of past generations. To this generation of young people, Liu Yumei was essentially a character from those stories.

Liu Yumei: "My silly son, I often say he's a blockhead with no brains, but there's nothing I can do about it. A martial artist still needs to be single-minded to be truly pure."

You overthink things and are too meticulous.

Kneeling on the ground, Feng Xionglin dared not deny it and nodded in acknowledgment.

Liu Yumei: "Being smart is never a bad thing. No one in this world would deliberately try to become stupid. But the smarter a person is, the more they should learn to be insightful. Otherwise, they may become too clever and harm their health, damaging the most important thing for a martial artist: their physique."

The Feng family is indeed unique in the martial arts world when it comes to self-improvement, but no matter how meticulously they refine their muscles, bones, skin, and internal organs, there is ultimately a limit, and the higher they go, the more difficult the road becomes.

Read more books, see more beautiful scenery, cultivate your inner energy, and use that energy to nourish your body; only then can you achieve harmony between mind and body, and a relaxed and healthy lifestyle.

Feng Xionglin kowtowed again: "Thank you for your guidance and teachings, Madam."

If what you learn from the book is the level of technique, then what the old lady just said is a supplement to the Tao. If you haven't reached a certain level, you will only think that the other party is deliberately mocking and reasoning with you. Only when you cross this threshold will you realize that the other party is guiding your mind.

Feng Xionglin stood up and went to offer incense to the ancestral tablets on the offering table.

After offering incense, he bowed to Liu Yumei and said:
"Madam, please rest. This junior will take his leave."

Liu Yumei waved her hand.

Feng Xionglin backed out of the east room.

Looking up at the starry sky, I felt a mix of emotions.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I'll be going now. Please wait."

Li Zhuiyuan made a gesture to send the guest away.

Feng Xionglin went down to the dam, got into the car, and just as he started the engine, he saw Tan Wenbin carrying a bag walking towards him.

"Brother Tan, is there anything else Xiao Yuan needs?"

Tan Wenbin threw the bag he was holding through the car window and said:
"These are herbs I grew myself, just a small token of my appreciation. Take good care of yourself and recover well."

After flicking another cigarette, Tan Wenbin turned and walked back.

Feng Xionglin sat in the car, first holding the cigarette between his teeth, then rubbing his fingernails together to create sparks, and finally lit the cigarette.

He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke from his nostrils, picked up an oily rag from the dashboard, and wiped his bald head with a "squeak, squeak".

Feng Xionglin smiled.

The most powerful way to win people's hearts is when you know they have no need to win yours.

Reversing, turning around, and driving back to the village road entrance, Feng Xionglin slowed down and asked the figure under the pavilion:

"Aren't you going to rest yet?"

Zhang Li: "Have a safe journey, sir."

Feng Xionglin: "Is anyone still here tonight?"

Zhang Li simply bowed respectfully to see him off.

Feng Xionglin honked his horn: "Never mind, I won't ask anymore. I'm leaving, goodbye!"

After the small truck drove away, Zhang Li straightened up again. He still had to wait for Lord Luo Xiaoyu tonight.

……

Tan Wenbin returned to the temple.

Brother Xiao Yuan was adjusting the formation at the altar.

Runsheng and Lin Shuyou, under A Li's command, dismantled the skeletons of three members of the Feng family.

Having survived countless battles, they were naturally not afraid of corpses. However, the sight of Ah Li, so refined and dignified, holding a charcoal pencil and instructing Ah You on how to cut the body was still somewhat surprising.

Tan Wenbin washed his hands and joined in.

This busy work lasted all night.

Ah Li has already completed the initial processing of the raw materials.

Right now, Runsheng is grinding bone fragments with a Yellow River shovel, Lin Shuyou is pounding liver and gallbladder with a golden mace, and Tan Wenbin is threading needles through human tendons.

Ah Li is currently reworking the three sets of rune armor.

Last time on Ghost Street, due to the limited capacity of the rune armor, the two generals, Zengsun and Duan, were unable to unleash their full power after being sacrificed.

After this remake, they won't have to be cheerleaders anymore and can return to the spotlight.

Ah Li didn't practice martial arts, but her Blood Porcelain Bottle could summon melee-type evil spirits. This new set of talisman armor was mainly to facilitate the liberation of Li Zhuiyuan.

"Buzz...buzz...buzz...buzz!"

The grand formation of the Daoist temple was activated.

The surrounding area seemed to be filled with the sound of chanting scriptures, and a gentle Buddhist light shone down.

After a whole night of work, the first thing everyone felt was that their fatigue had lessened considerably.

The blood porcelain bottle that Ah Li had placed in the dojo began to shake. The girl turned around and glanced at it, and it quieted down.

Runsheng rubbed his neck a little awkwardly, but quickly got used to it.

Tan Wenbin sniffed, his resentment being somewhat suppressed at this moment.

This is the effect before Brother Xiaoyuan officially activated the golden body of the Bodhisattva; it's just the basic influence that comes with the golden body after it's embedded in the temple.

Immediately afterwards, beams of light appeared and coalesced into figures, some performing martial arts, some casting spells, and some guiding formations.

This is the function of the bronze mirror. In future teaching, the teaching medium will no longer be limited to wooden figures, but will be able to have a wider variety of forms.

Li Zhuiyuan said, "In the last wave, I came into contact with so many Lighters and observed their various fighting styles and techniques."

They may not be as strong as you in terms of absolute strength, but in terms of experience and skills, they are actually superior to you.

I will try to simulate them one by one, and you will suppress your strength to be at the same level as them or one level lower, so that you can fight against them.

In short, get yourself in the right mindset and ready for class.

"understand!"

"understand!"

Li Zhuiyuan stood up and walked down from the altar.

Ah Li continued her work while glancing at the boy.

The boy's face was a little pale. He had been doing intense mental work all night. He could handle it, but his body was suffering.

Li Zhuiyuan understood and went to get a can of Jianlibao.

Ah Li looked away.

Li Zhuiyuan took a sip of his beverage.

asked:

"It's already dawn, where is Luo Xiaoyu?"

……

Luo Xiaoyu has gone missing. Zhang Li waited for him at the village entrance but couldn't find him, and Tan Wenbin couldn't reach him either.

The main reason was that no one could have predicted that he would arrive just as Zhang Li was giving Feng Xionglin directions to enter the village, and that he would stride headed towards the peach orchard without hesitation.

If he had been just a minute earlier or later, or if he hadn't been walking so excitedly, Zhang Li would have bumped into him.

Perhaps this is the fleeting nature of youth.

While having breakfast, Li Sanjiang asked Li Zhuiyuan if he wanted to go to Xingren Town with him at noon, as the woman's family was holding a banquet today, and the man had to visit some relatives.

After asking the question, Li Sanjiang, while slurping his chopsticks, glanced at the tired look on Li Zhuiyuan's face and denied it to himself:

"Young Master Yuan, are you catching a cold? Never mind, you don't need to go today. Just stay home, get some rest, and drink plenty of water."

Actually, Li Weihan really hoped that Xiao Yuanhou could make more appearances and support the groom's family, but Li Sanjiang declined most of them, saying that the boy had just finished his work outside and needed to rest.

This highlights the advantage of having one's household registration under someone else's name. Even if the grandfather wanted to apply for the use of Xiao Yuanhou's name, he would still need Li Sanjiang's approval.

Finally, Tan Wenbin, the emcee, drove Li Sanjiang to Xingren Town in his yellow pickup truck.

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at the room on the second floor, but instead of rushing back to sleep, he went to Big Beard's house first.

If you haven't received the letter yet, you should check if it was put in your neighbor's mailbox.

Upon arriving at the bearded man's house, Li Zhuiyuan saw Master Sun discussing something with Pear Blossom.

Benben stood beside him, clenching his fists and cheering for Master Sun.

As soon as the three saw Li Zhuiyuan arrive, they immediately looked away guiltily.

Pear Blossom wanted to send her child to the young master and young lady to keep them entertained and to help them grow closer. Master Sun felt that it was the right way for the child to study with him. Of course, Benben supported Master Sun.

However, Li Zhuiyuan had good hearing, and he overheard their conversation on the village road.

"Let the child stay here for now, and let Master Sun help lay the foundation."

Pear Blossom: "I'll do as the young master says."

Master Sun bowed to Li Zhuiyuan in gratitude.

Benben breathed a long sigh of relief.

Chen Xiyuan had just woken up, walked out of her room, and came to the balcony. Although her hair was a little messy, it also had a kind of lazy and gentle feel to it.

"Good morning, little brother."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Did you hear anything last night?"

Chen Xiyuan shook her head: "I don't know. I sleep in my own domain, otherwise it's too noisy and I can't sleep."

Upon hearing this, Pear Blossom lowered her head and blushed.

Master Sun said, “Don’t worry, nothing happened last night. When I was teaching the children outside, I set up several arrays. If there was any movement, the arrays would definitely be able to sense it.”

He dared not set up a formation; a simple formation core was similar to a sentry post and could also sense changes in the weather.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Okay, I understand."

He said he understood, but the boy still walked towards the peach grove.

Others might be able to trigger Master Sun's array core, but Luo Xiaoyu's array mastery surpasses that of Master Sun.

Inside the peach grove, Qing'an was sitting by the pond drinking tea.

Li Zhuiyuan asked directly, "Did anyone accidentally break in and disturb us last night?"

Qing An: "Want to know? Beg me."

Li Zhuiyuan: "So he exists. Where is he?"

In the distance, peach blossoms were falling, and Li Zhuiyuan saw Luo Xiaoyu and Sister Hua.

Sister Hua was chopping peach wood to make array flags, while Luo Xiaoyu was busy setting up the formation.

The person didn't break their promise; not only did they not need to be greeted, but they also voluntarily took their post.

Fortunately, it seems that Luo Xiaoyu was not whipped.

Qing'an: "I thought you had specially arranged for me to repair the forest."

Li Zhuiyuan: "That's right."

Qing'an picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said nothing more.

As Li Zhuiyuan walked over, a cluster of peach blossoms appeared along the way, attempting to block his approach. The young man kept changing direction, but still managed to walk in.

Luo Xiaoyu noticed someone was there, looked up, saw Li Zhuiyuan, and immediately smiled:

"senior!"

Before Li Zhuiyuan could speak, Luo Xiaoyu excitedly bowed and thanked him:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior! Every peach tree, no, every peach blossom in this peach grove has a unique appearance. Setting up formations here and studying every inch of the area will benefit Xiaoyu greatly."

Xiaoyu will forever remember your kindness and care, and truly does not know how to repay you!

Luo Xiaoyu's array formations reached a new level in the last wave, just as it was about to accommodate all kinds of weather phenomena. The peach forest was special, with Qing'an's face reflected everywhere.

For Luo Xiaoyu, this is the most suitable place to consolidate and improve his realm at this stage.

Li Zhuiyuan: "How much longer will it take you to finish setting up this peach grove formation?"

Luo Xiaoyu: "I... Senior, it will take me at least another month. Senior, could you let me stay for two more days? No, even just one more day would be fine."

Clearly, Luo Xiaoyu cherished this opportunity and believed that Li Zhuiyuan had gotten a great deal by putting him in the peach grove, but at a huge cost.

Li Zhuiyuan: "No rush. You can set up here slowly, calmly comprehend, and stay until you sense that your next wave is coming."

Luo Xiaoyu: "Thank you so much for your guidance, senior!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yes, continue your comprehension."

Luo Xiaoyu: "Senior, if you have any instructions, please let me know directly. I will do my best!"

Li Zhuiyuan nodded, turned around, and left the formation.

As they passed the pond again, Qing'an swirled the teacup in his hand and said:

"I've noticed that the smarter you and he are, the more likely you are to run into silly rascals."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhuiyuan stopped and stared at Qing'an without saying a word.

after awhile.

Qing An: "Kid, you really don't believe I'd actually hit you?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Because I don't like others playing tricks on us, I prefer this kind of precious childlike innocence."

Qing An: "Heh, now that I want to say something nice, it's too late."

Li Zhuiyuan: "We are not used to this feeling of being trusted, but we also enjoy it. In the end, we can't live without it."

Qing'an fell silent.

He waved his hand, indicating that the boy could leave.

As Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the peach grove and passed through the dam, he encountered Xiao Yingying, who was returning from buying wine.

“Starting today, we will offer three meals a day, including dishes and rice in addition to wine.”

Xiao Yingying: "Yes."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Come to my place later and pick up a painting. Put it in your room. This painting is not to be shown to any third party except you and Benben. Three times a week, when you sleep with Benben at night, unfold the painting and hang it above your bed. After that, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to interfere."

Xiao Yingying: "Yes."

"Clap!"

In the corner, Benben, who was being guided by Master Sun to build a pile of pebbles, accidentally knocked down the entire pile that had just been built in front of him.

Master Sun said, "It's alright, son-in-law. Let's try again. You're already very good at this. You can stack it so high and so steadily."

Benben obediently squatted down again and continued building.

After Li Zhuiyuan left the bearded man's house, Master Sun suddenly noticed that the child's nose was red and immediately asked with concern:
"Grandson-in-law, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will kick his butt for you."

Benben remained silent, only sniffling as he continued laying the cobblestones.

The child felt wronged. He thought he could skip class, but now he not only has to attend classes during the day, but also has to attend evening self-study sessions.

After returning home, Li Zhuiyuan slept soundly until evening.

After dinner, I went to the temple with Ah Li.

The boy continued adjusting the formation, preparing for the next class; Ah Li, on the other hand, was polishing the new rune armor to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the two generals after they were summoned.

In addition, Ah Li also made an extra tiger-striped belt for General Zeng.

This is the ornament that the boy promised General Zeng last time.

In the early hours of the morning, the two left the temple and returned to their rooms to rest and adjust their sleep schedules.

After the temple was empty, the statue of the White Crane Boy on the side altar began to tremble. Facing the two generals of increase and decrease, he once again flaunted his jewels:

"Have you seen it before? Have you seen it before? Have you seen it before?..."

The statue trembled violently with anger.

General Zeng, who usually stood shoulder to shoulder with General Sun at this time, went directly to the boy's side this time. Facing General Sun, he trembled and pointed to his tiger-striped belt:
"Have you seen it before? Have you seen it before? Have you seen it before?..."

General Sun: "Eee-yah-yah-yah!"

Unable to tolerate it any longer, General Sun rushed forward to fight.

What used to be a three-on-one situation for them has now turned into a three-on-one situation for him because General Zeng, who now occupies two bodies, has betrayed them.

Soon, the statue of General Sun was crushed under three other statues.

"Have you seen it before? Have you seen it before? Have you seen it before?..."

……

The following day, Panzi's wedding began.

In the morning, Tan Wenbin organized a motorcade to pick up the bride. The timing was perfect; the bride was brought back by 10:30, so that the relatives and friends would not have to wait for the banquet to begin.

In addition to the sheds set up for meals, a stage was also set up on the dam, and a small acrobatic troupe was invited to perform. Furthermore, Tan Wenbin went to Shigang Middle School and invited the school's drum and bugle corps to perform.

The latter doesn't require payment; all you need to do is provide a meal for the younger students, give them some wedding candy, and after the event, give each of them a set of the latest edition of "The Secret Scroll of Tracing Ancestors".

When it was time to eat, the performance continued, the meal started on time, and relatives and friends took their seats. There was no deliberate withholding of chopsticks.

Following Tan Wenbin's speech, the bride and groom went on stage, and fireworks and firecrackers were set off.

Under everyone's gaze, Pan Zi, holding his bride's hand, shouted loudly:
"Look everyone, we're getting married today!"

The bride then called out:

"See? Now, everyone, please enjoy your food and drinks!"

Then, the bride and groom went down from the stage to toast the guests.

As for both sets of parents, they are not used to performing in front of others, so Tan Wenbin did not arrange for them to go on stage and shed tears.

From the moment the wedding procession started until now, the county TV station has been recording the whole thing for extra money. Last time, Tan Wenbin also invited them to film Liangliang's wedding, but this time they didn't have to steal the videotapes.

Li Sanjiang said to Tan Wenbin, "Zhuangzhuang, you did a great job, really great."

Tan Wenbin: "Hey, it's not difficult. Not many people really care about the bride and groom. Everyone only cares about how good the dishes are."

Li Sanjiang: "When Xiao Yuanhou gets married in the future, you will also be in charge of organizing it."

Tan Wenbin: "That has to be done properly. The bride and groom have to be the main characters. They can't even be given chopsticks. They have to watch carefully!"

Li Sanjiang: "Hahaha, you brat, alright, that's how you'll do it when you and Yunyun get married."

Tan Wenbin: "Hahaha, that won't do, we'll get scolded. We're not as good-looking as Xiao Yuan and the others, not good-looking enough to be a feast for the eyes."

Li Zhuiyuan brought A Li to the banquet. To make A Li more comfortable, he not only chose to sit at a corner table, but also Lin Shuyou, Runsheng, Uncle Qin, Aunt Liu, Xiong Shan, Lihua and even Master Sun brought Benben along.

Our own people took up the whole table, but the price was that we had to pay several more monetary gifts.

Panzi was wearing a suit made by a tailor shop in town today, with a white shirt underneath and a big red flower tied around his neck.

For men who don't work in related industries, there may only be two opportunities in their lives to wear such formal attire: once for their own wedding and the next time for their children's wedding.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Pan Zi.

It's really hard to reconcile the man in front of me, holding a wine glass and leading his wife to toast each table, with the boy who used to take me to catch shrimp in the river and climb trees to steal fruit when I first arrived in Nantong.

Life is like a book. As you read it, you look up and stretch, only to realize how thick it has become.

Pan Zijing brought a toast to this table.

Li Zhuiyuan stood up, took out the red envelope, and handed it over.

Panzi: "Hey, Yuanzi, do you want to be my elder? Hurry up and take it back."

Panzi reached out and pushed the red envelope back. Even without touching it, he could tell just by looking at it that the red envelope was very thick.

Li Zhuiyuan had no choice but to take back the red envelope.

As a result, Panzi took out a red envelope and handed it over.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Pan, we are of the same generation."

Panzi: "Shut up. It's not for you. This is the little girl's first time coming to our house. Her grandparents specifically told me to give it to her."

As he spoke, Panzi placed the red envelope in front of A Li.

Ah Li picked up the red envelope, looked up at the boy, and the boy nodded to her.

The girl held the red envelope between her fingers and smiled at the newlyweds.

"Here, Yuanzi, have some soda."

Pan Zi picked up his wine glass, clinked it against Li Zhuiyuan's, downed the rest of his wine in one gulp, patted Li Zhuiyuan's arm, and said:

"Yuanzi, my mission is complete. Now it's up to you..."

"And what about Brother Lei?"

"That guy Lei Zi still stutters when he sees a woman, I think he's in trouble."

We have many siblings, but only you and Yingzi got into university. In the future... no, right now, you are the most promising and bring the most honor to our Li family.

Touko, it's your turn next, I'll wait... I'll wait for you..."

Pan Zi had drunk too much; his face was flushed, and he began to sway. The bride supported him, but he still insisted on finishing what he was saying:

"Yuanzi, I'll wait until you come of age!"
