Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Kun withdrew his methods and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
He slowly said,"Dear distinguished guests, it is our honor to have you all come all the way here to attend our housewarming ceremony. Please forgive us if we fail to provide proper hospitality today!"”
"Chen Clan Leader is too serious…"
"Chen Clan Leader is too polite."
“..........”
All the guests said.
After exchanging pleasantries, he glanced at the Great Elder.
The First Elder immediately understood what Chen Kun meant. He stood up and cleared his throat.
He circulated his zhenqi and said loudly,"I have been ordered by the patriarch to preside over this housewarming ceremony. Now, I announce that the housewarming ceremony of my Chen family has officially begun!”
The old voice resounded throughout the entire square of the Chen Clan, and everyone could hear it clearly.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Immediately, there was a wave of applause that could topple mountains and overturn the seas. Whether it was sincere or sincere, the corners of everyone's mouths revealed a smile.
After the housewarming ceremony began.
Next…
It was a series of complicated housewarming rituals, such as offering sacrifices to the ancestors.
Soon, the housewarming ceremony was completed.
Next, it was time for the banquet.
In an extremely spacious and elegant hall.
The eight of them sat around the table and were drinking merrily. Beside them, there were maids from the Chen family serving them.
These people were all important figures. Even the Chen family could not be too negligent!
Among these eight people, the one with the highest status was the Rank Six official from the county.
When they were toasting each other.
The sound of footsteps could be heard. Everyone's hearts trembled as they turned around to look...
Chen Kun, the head of the Chen family, slowly walked over accompanied by the First Elder.
Seeing Chen Kun, no one dared to sit still. They put down the wine glasses in their hands and hurriedly stood up.
"Clan Leader Chen!"
Chen Kun returned the greeting with a smile.
"I'm sorry for not serving you well and making you laugh at me," he said softly.”
The few of them laughed when they heard that.
The sixth-rank official said,""Master Chen, what are you saying? If the food of the Chen family is simple, then most people in this world will probably eat nothing!”
His words made everyone smile even more.
Indeed, the Chen family had prepared a sumptuous meal for them. There was everything from walking in the mountains, flying in the sky, and swimming in the water.
Even the wine they drank cost dozens of spirit stones per jar.
The cost of this meal might be enough for some small families to earn a year's income.
Chen Kun extended his hand and said,""Bring the wine!"
Immediately, a maid respectfully placed a cup filled with wine in Chen Kun's hand.
Chen Kun raised his wine glass and smiled."It's my Chen Family's honor to have all of you here to attend our housewarming ceremony. Here, on behalf of my Chen Family, I would like to propose a toast to everyone! I'll drink it first!"
Then.
He covered his face with his sleeve and downed the wine in his cup!
Then, he turned the wine glass upside down. Not a single drop of wine fell.
Only then did the guests react. They hurriedly raised their glasses and drank the wine in them.
Then, he returned the favor to Chen Kun. Chen Kun did not reject any of them. In a short while, he had drunk more than ten glasses.
After drinking another cup of wine.
Chen Kun said apologetically,"Originally, I should have accompanied everyone to their heart's content. However, I still have some important matters on hand and am in a hurry to deal with them. I can't accompany you any longer. I'm really sorry. Next, my Chen Clan's First Elder will accompany you."”
After saying that, he pushed out the First Elder beside him.
The crowd was naturally not dissatisfied. Chen Kunneng had already given them enough face by accompanying them for a drink.
After all, they were no longer on the same level as Chen Kun.
Chen Kun turned around and left.
Everyone began to pull the Great Elder to chat, their attitudes very enthusiastic.
Although the Great Elder's strength was only at Xiantian second stage, he was the number two figure of the Chen family. He was deeply trusted by the family head, Chen Kun, and held great power.
To be on good terms with him was to be on good terms with the Chen family.
First Elder was also a sociable person. Very quickly, he blended in and fought with the few of them.
Soon, it was night time.
Most of the guests had left.
In the family head's courtyard, Chen Kun was cultivating the Stellar Transposition Divine Art. Terrifying fluctuations were spreading around him.
The Revolving Stars Divine Art was divided into nine levels, and there was a huge gap between each level.
In this one year or so.
Chen Kun had already cultivated the Stellar Transposition Divine Art to the seventh level and was stuck at the threshold of the eighth level.
If the news that Chen Kun had cultivated the Shifting Stars Divine Art in one and a half years was spread to the Murong family, it would probably cause a huge commotion.
The power of the Shifting Stars Divine Art was immense, but it was also extremely difficult to learn.
Even the simplest first level would take several years. Those with less talent might take decades.
The current head of the Murong family, Murong Hong Yu, was extremely talented. He was a powerful existence who had cultivated to the Divine Palace realm before he was even a hundred years old. He had only cultivated the Revolving Stars Divine Art to the eighth level…
Chen Kun was enough to be proud of.
Suddenly, Chen Kun opened his eyes.
Outside the door, a rough voice said,""Patriarch, Guo Tongpan of the county requests an audience with Patriarch!”
Chen Kun frowned.
"Guo Tongpan?"
Guo Tongpan was the sixth-rank official who had come to represent the county during the day.
Chen Kun knew that this Guo Tongpan was sent by the chief historian of the prefecture and represented the chief historian. His Chen family had a good relationship with the chief historian, so he could not offend the chief historian.
Moreover, this general judge was an official with real power in the county.
So he said,"Bring Guo Tongpan to the side hall and wait for a while. I'll be there soon."”
"Yes, Patriarch.
The guards outside the door accepted the order and left.
Chen Kun tidied up a little and then walked towards the side hall. He was a little curious as to why Guo Tongpan wanted to see him.
In the side hall, Guo Pan sat on the guest seat.
One of the family head's personal guards said,""Lord Judge, please wait a moment. The family head will be here soon.”
Guo Tongpan nodded.
"It's fine!" He smiled.
He didn't let Guo Tongpan wait for too long before Chen Kun arrived.
Seeing Chen Kun.
A smile appeared on Guo Tongpan's face. He stood up and cupped his hands."Chen Clan Leader!"
Ever since Chen Kun revealed his move.
Guo Tongpan lowered his status to the lowest level. He couldn't afford to offend an expert who was suspected to be in the True Core Core Realm.
Chen Kun returned the bow and said with a smile,""Lord Guo, it's already so late and you still don't plan to rest?”
Guo Tongpan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He said,"It's really not right to disturb the Chen Clan Lord at this late hour. However, I have something that I haven't told the Chen Clan Lord yet. However, I have to set off to return to the county tomorrow. I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it in time, so I can only disturb the Chen Clan Lord tonight."”
Chen Kun waved his hand.
"Please speak, Lord Guo."
Guo Tongpan recalled the chief historian's instructions before he left and said,""Chen Clan Leader, before I left, the chief historian had given me an order.”
"Three months later, on the 15th day of the eighth month, it will be the Chief Historian's 200th birthday.”
The chief historian has sent me to invite the Chen family head to his birthday banquet. At that time, the chief historian will definitely sweep the bed and treat me.”
After saying that.
He raised his head to look at Chen Kun, waiting for his reply.
"Is this the Chief Historian's 200-year-old birthday banquet?”
Chen Kun thought for a moment and replied,"Lord Guo, please go back and tell the chief historian that in three months, I will definitely come to his birthday banquet.”
Guo Tongpan laughed and said,"If the chief historian knew, he would be very happy.”
After that, he chatted with Chen Kun for a while before taking his leave.
Guo Tongpan left.
Chen Kun sat in his original position, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There were three reasons why he agreed to attend the birthday banquet so readily.
First, the Chief Historian had personally invited him. Chen Kun had to give him face. Moreover, at this stage, the Chen family was working well with the Chief Historian. They could be considered half-friends.
Secondly, it was the banquet of the chief historian. All the famous people in Hejian County would definitely go. Chen Kun wanted to make friends with them.
A family not only needed to be powerful, but also had a wide network of people.
Thirdly, he wanted to find out about the current situation in the prefecture. After all, the Chen Clan couldn't keep guarding a small piece of land like Ji County.
