Sovereign The
Chapter 20: The Feast of Li Mu

"As long as I can break through the Third Order by the end of this year?" A strange expression appeared on Huang Xiaolong's face as he listened to his father.

When Huang Peng noticed Huang Xiaolong's expression, he thought it was because his unreasonable requirements of – of the Third Order were too high, proceeding gently: “To be honest, the, Father and Mother understand that it is difficult to reach the Third Order at the end of the year, so Xiaolong, do not put too much pressure on yourself.” Huang Peng hesitated for a moment, then said: "As long as you can ascend to the peak of the late Second Order at the end of the year, then it's fine!"

"The Peak of the Second Final Order?" Huang Xiaolong's expression became increasingly strange.

“True, Xiaolong. Even if you are unable to break through to the top of the Second Order, but reach the Second Order, we will still be very happy. This time, it was Su Yan's mother who spoke.

Huang Xiaolong's words failed as he smiled helplessly in his heart.

Third Order? Second Order End of the Peak? Second Final Order?

"Dad, iBu, I'll go back to the little yard." Huang Xiaolong said as he stood up, gently hitting the arm of the chair; wondering if his parents would lower their requirements to reach the top of the Second Order.

If that was the case, he might not be able to withstand and expose the peak strength of the early Fourth Order at this time!

"Ah, Ziaolong." When Huang Xiaolong was about to leave the hall, Huang Peng thought of something, saying: “A few days from now is Patriarch Li's eighty-year anniversary celebration; and he invited our Huang Clan Manor to the celebration party. The little girl kept urging him to invite you, insisting that you should be there.”

"He insisted I leave?" Huang Xiaolong was amazed. That little girl doesn't like him very much, does she? Just because he looked so cool when he beat Huang Wei pitifully during the annual Clan Meeting?

"Dad, Mom, can I not go?" Huang Xiaolong asked weakly.

"What did you say?" Su Yan's eyes glared at him.

Huang Xiaolong was depressed; it seemed like he could not avoid going to the banquet.

Su Yan laughed at the pouting face of his son, teasing him: “You brat, don't nag. Li Lu is the mat seed of Old Patriarch Li, has a ninth grade martial spirit and she will definitely grow into a beautiful young woman.”

Huang Xiaolong was even more speechless, what was up with this and that; if his mother knew her son had extraordinary talent and extraordinary twin martial talent, it would be, he probably wouldn't think like this.

Currently, Huang Peng also joined: “Your mother is right. In the future, if you marry Old Patriarch Li's grandson, Li Lu, then your mother and I.”.

As his father was still speaking, Huang Xiaolong quickly cut in: “OK, Father, I understand; it's fine as long as I'm gone right? When do we leave? Are you going?”

Su Yan could not help but laugh when he heard Huang Xiaolong's reply: "It seems like our son is feeling embarrassed." He stopped flirting with Huang Xiaolong and said: "We're leaving the day after tomorrow, but other than you and your father, your Grandfather, Eldest Uncle and Huang Wei will also be leaving."

Huang Xiaolong's brows furrowed, and nodded: “OK, I know; if nothing else then I will return.

Both Huang Peng and Su Yan nodded.

Huang Xiaolong turned around and left.

Looking at his son's back, Su Yan sighed and said: "How wonderful would it be if Xiaolong we married Li Lu!"

Huang Peng shook his head: “With Li Lu's background and talent, he won't like our Xiaolong. Also, right now Li Lu was just an eight-year-old; so while he might not consider it, he would do it when he grew up.

At this moment Huang Xiaolong had returned to his small courtyard and started practicing the Asura Storm so that he did not hear what his parents had said after he left.

Two days came and went quickly, and the day of departure arrived. The moment Huang Xiaolong arrived at the Eastern Courtyard, he was dragged by Huang Peng to the Main Hall; and by the time they reached the Main Hall, his Grandfather Huang Qide, Eldest Uncle Huang Ming, had arrived, and Huang Wei was already waiting.

When Huang Wei saw Huang Xiaolong stepping into the Main Hall, his eyes were filled with hatred; if not for Huang Qide's presence, he would probably have pounced on Huang Xiaolong.

"Grandfather."

Huang Xiaolong and Huang Peng walked over to Huang Qide and said their greetings, ignoring Huang Wei's clone of the ferocious beasts.

Huang Qide nodded and laughed: "Since everyone is here, let's go." Huang Qide stepped out, and the four people followed him.

Although the Huang Clan Manor and the Li Family were known as the two major powers in Canglan County, there was a considerable distance between them.

The Li Family's residence was in Canglan County City where the Huang Clan Manor was located a hundred miles outside County City.

Therefore, it was at night when Huang Xiaolong's group of five people arrived in County City, ahead of dusk.

“Kakak Qide! You traveled far enough to come to my celebration, but I was slow in welcoming me, please forgive me!” old Patriarch Li said with a carefree laugh as the five of them arrived at County City.

“Sister Li Mu is too polite!” Huang Qide laughed loudly.

Huang Xiaolong looked around and noticed that little girl Li Lu was standing behind a slightly fat round-faced middle-aged man with somewhat small eyes – which gave the impression that he was always beamingseries.

Is this the only son of Old Patriarch Li, Li Chen, Li Lu's father? Huang Xiaolong wondered.

At this moment, the little girl hiding behind Li Cheng looked at Huang Xiaolong mischievously, sticking her tongue out towards Xiaolong and giggling; looking extremely cute.

Huang Xiaolong rolled his eyes, completely ignoring him.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong's indifferent reaction, Li Lu pouted in annoyance.

This scene was seen by Huang Wei who was standing at the side; hatred surged violently in his heart. Although his engagement to Li Lu during the Clan Assembly was marred by Huang Xiaolong, in his heart Li Lu was already his wife, and now his 'wife' was blatantly teasing Huang Xiaolong right in front of him!

After the customary greeting, everyone entered the city, heading towards the Li Residence.

Contrary to expectations, the Li Residence was not located in the city center but in the southern part. When they arrived in front of the main entrance of the Li Residence, the twenty-meter-wide road ahead was filled with an endless stream of horses and carriages, the street was lively and decorated with bright and colorful lanterns. For Li Mu's eighty anniversary celebration, other than the Huang Clan Manor, most of the troops in Canglan County had arrived.

However, the actual celebration was going to happen tomorrow, so some had yet to arrive and were on their way.

When they arrived at the Li Residence, Li Mu personally brought them to the prearranged courtyard to rest.

“Kakak Qide, if there is anything you need, let the Residence guard know. Please forgive bad hospitality.” Li Mu said to Huang Qide with a smile.

Huang Qide waved his hand and said: “You are too polite. En, please go and pay attention to your problems; tomorrow, we brothers will drink together later.”

Li Mu laughed 'hehe': "Definitely." Then turn around and leave.

But what happened next shocked Huang Xiaolong. Not long after Li Mu left, Li Lu came to their courtyard! After greeting Huang Qide, Huang Ming, and Huang Peng, he immediately went to Huang Xiaolong and said in an angry voice: “Xiaolong, This is your first time in County City right? Come on, I'll give you a tour!” His hand had already pulled Huang Xiaolong away from the courtyard before he even had a chance to reply.

Huang Wei stared intently at Li Lu who was holding Huang Xiaolong's hand, and watched the two leave the courtyard; his expression was extremely ugly. And of course, Huang Ming's face did not look any better either.

Huang Qide opened his mouth, but did not know what to say; huang Peng stood there quietly, but his heart was pounding happily.
