Unbeatable Swordsman

Chapter 20 The Feast of Li Mu

"As long as I break through to the Third Order at the end of the 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 the requirements were unreasonable to reach the Third Order, continuing 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 advance to the peak of the late Second Order at the end of the year, then it's fine!"

“Second Order final peak?”

Huang Xiaolong's expression became even stranger.

“That's right, Xiaolong. Even if you fail to break through to the peak of the late Second Order, at least you can reach the final Second Order, we will still be very happy. This time, her Mother, Su Yan who spoke.

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

Third Order?

The end of the Second Order?

The final Second Order?

"Dad, Mom, I'm going back to the little yard." Huang Xiaolong said as he stood up, gently hitting the arm of the chair, wondering if his parents would further lower their requirements to the peak of the mid-Second Order. If it came to that, he probably wouldn't be able to fight back and expose the peak strength of the early Fourth Order at this time!

“Ah, Xiaolong.” When Huang Xiaolong was about to leave the hall, Huang Peng thought of something, saying: “A few days from now there is the celebration of Old Patriarch Li's eighty birthday, he said, and he invited our Huang Clan Manor to the celebration party. The little girl kept urging him to leave, 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 party.

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

Huang Xiaolong was even more speechless, what was with this and that, if his mother knew her son had extraordinary talent, and the talent of the twin protective spirit, was extraordinary, he probably wouldn't think like this.

At this time, Huang Peng also helps: “Your mother is right. In the future, if you marry Old Patriarch Li's granddaughter Li, Li Lu, then your mother and I.” While her father is still talking, Huang Xiaolong quickly cuts: “OK, Father, I understand, you know, it's okay as long as I'm gone, right? When are we leaving?

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 teasing Huang Xiaolong and said: "We are leaving the day after tomorrow, but other than you and your Father, your Grandfather, first 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, at the moment Li Lu was only an eight-year-old child, so even though he might not consider it at the moment, he would probably do so when he was an adult. "

....

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

.....

Two days came and went quickly, and the day of departure arrived.

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

"Dad."

"Grandfather."

Huang Xiaolong and Huang Peng walked towards Huang Qide and said their greetings.

Huang Qide nodded and laughed: "Since everyone is here, let's go."

Huang Qide stepped out, and four people followed him.

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

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

Therefore, it was already evening when they arrived at the County City, before dusk.

Brother Qide! You traveled far enough to come to my celebration yet I was slow in your welcome, please forgive me!" old Patriarch Li said with a carefree laugh as the five of them arrived in the city.

"Brother 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 slightly small eyes , which gave the impression that he was always beaming.

Was this Old Patriarch Li's only son, Li Cheng, Father Li Lu? Huang Xiaolong wondered.

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

Huang Xiaolong rolled his eyes, completely ignoring him.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong's indifferent reaction, Li Lu sneered at him.

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

After exchanging greetings, everyone entered the city 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 Li family's main entrance, the twenty-meter wide road ahead was filled with endless horse-drawn kerata, and the, 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 families in Canglan County had already arrived.

However, the actual celebration will be held tomorrow, so there are those yet to come, who are on their way.

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

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

Huang Qide waved his hand and said: "You're too polite. En, please go and take care of 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 met Huang Xiaolong and said in a sulking voice: “Xiaolong, This is your first time in the Li Residence right? Come on, I'll take you for a walk!" 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 seeing the two of them leave the courtyard, his expression became 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 rumbled happily.
