Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Ye Ling's manor was filled with laughter and toasts, the calls for wine were spirited and loud.

It was not just Ye Ling and the younger generation; Ning Guoqiang, Mo Zidao, and even Yang Ming, who had rushed over from the southwest, were reveling to their hearts' content.

"Ye Ling, hurry up, there are guests arriving," Shenfeng rushed over to Ye Ling's side and patted his shoulder as he spoke.

Ye Ling was in the midst of drinking and frowned, "What guests? We're already halfway through, why have they only just arrived? Such lack of sincerity, I won't meet them!"

"I'll be damned, you've got some nerve. You would refuse to see them without knowing who they are, but they are specifically sent to congratulate you by those two seniors!"

Taking a deep breath, Shenfeng raised his thumb and sneered, leaving Ye Ling startled and then laughing with a chuckle, "I was just messing with you. Anyone I can refuse to meet, but how can I not see someone sent by those two esteemed elders? Hurry and invite them in."

The two of them hurried out to greet the guests. At the entrance of the banquet hall, Daoist Qing Mu and a man in his thirties stood there, smiling at the festive scene inside.

"Tsk tsk, this is truly the first time I've been sent to attend such an occasion on behalf of those two," the man in his thirties, who was none other than Secretary Cao whom Ye Ling had met before alongside the two seniors, spoke.

Daoist Qing Mu also smiled, "The rules and restrictions of this world cannot bound him, can they? To be aware of my old ancestor's existence, and even dare speak of having influenced my ancestor, could he be an ordinary person?"

Lü Dongbin, even within the Immortal Realm, is a standout figure of exceptional brilliance. Who but a formidable powerhouse would dare to offer him guidance?

Probably before you could offer a word, his sword would have pierced through you with several bloody holes. Have you ever seen a three-year-old teaching a doctoral student Olympiad math?

"Oh my, look at that, Secretary Cao, I really didn't expect you to come, and Daoist Qing Mu too, tsk tsk, please come in, your presence here truly graces my humble place!"

Ye Ling spoke with joy, already flushed from the wine, and not far away, Mo Zidao, who was drinking, suddenly brightened his eyes and stood up to walk towards them.

"Ye Ling, on behalf of the two seniors, I'm here to congratulate you on your wedding and the joy it brings. We hope that you'll have children soon, bring up several pillars of the nation. Oh, and these are the seniors' wishes for you," Secretary Cao laughed heartily and then took out a scroll, gesturing for Ye Ling to unroll it. On the broad scroll in bold brushwork were four characters: "Auspicious Wedding Celestial Celebration."

Ye Ling's eyes immediately brightened. The signature at the bottom was enough to startle anyone, and at that moment, Mo Zidao also arrived, "Wow, Ye Ling, you really command great respect."

Mo Zidao's words were sincere. To receive a gift personally sent and someone dispatched to convey congratulations from the two seniors was very rare throughout Huaxia.

"Ye Ling, I don't have much to offer, but when I was young and had just begun to explore the Tao, I found a source of wood energy while traveling the world. I heard your wife is pregnant, so I divided it into four parts, as a meeting gift for these little ones in the future," said Daoist Qing Mu as he took out four wooden plaques carved with dragons and phoenixes, lifelike and teeming with incredible vitality.

Ye Ling smiled and thanked Daoist Qing Mu as he accepted the plaques. For ordinary people, these were treasures of immense value, but for himself, they were somewhat simplistic.@@novelbin@@

Even so, Ye Ling showed great pleasure. After all, their willingness to bring gifts was a sign of recognition, and that was enough.

"Never mind all that, sit down quickly, let me drink a few cups with you. This is Wu Long Drunk, brewed by my own winery!" Ye Ling grabbed Secretary Cao and simply wouldn't take no for an answer.

Secretary Cao was quite embarrassed, having attended umpteen weddings but never really sat down to freely enjoy the celebrations.

"Let's go, Secretary Cao, I'm telling you, the Wu Long Drunk brewed by Ye Ling is even stronger than the old man's special supply," Mo Zidao patted Secretary Cao's shoulder.

As soon as these words came out, Secretary Cao and Daoist Qing Mu's eyes went wide; they had been coveting the old man's wine for a long time, but what can you do, it's a special supply, and there's only so much every year.

"Well then, shall we sit?" Secretary Cao asked Daoist Qing Mu. Daoist Qing Mu, maintaining his composure, nodded, but the fiery look in his eyes betrayed his inner excitement.

The table that Mo Zidao originally sat at was already filled with a bunch of folks holding real power, and with others like Ning Guoqiang joining later, this table alone could influence the whole of Donghai.

But the atmosphere at the table was instantly reignited with Secretary Cao's arrival; as the saying goes, the gatekeeper of the prime minister's house is bigger than a seventh-grade official, let alone Secretary Cao.

Secretary Cao, with an attitude of just trying it, took a sip of the Wu Long Drunk, and instantly covered his mouth, his eyes brimming with surprise and delight, "I feel the old man will have to scold me this time."

"One mustn't be too greedy with the cup; looks like I'll have to break my rule this time," Secretary Cao felt his saliva almost drooling out, truly craving it.

Daoist Qing Mu also took a sip, didn't even say anything, just poured himself a full cup, "Come on, have a few drinks first and then talk. Don't worry, being at Ye Ling's big celebration, the old man won't blame you."

"Exactly, exactly, why blame you for anything? Come on, drink up, and when you leave, each of you takes a hundred or so bottles, then take a few hundred more for the old man."

Ye Ling was very generous; this stuff was very precious outside, you couldn't buy it even if you had the money, but he had plenty of it in his own hands.

"No, wait, how is there a faint hint of Spiritual Energy in this wine?" Daoist Qing Mu suddenly widened his eyes in astonishment.

Ye Ling remained calm and nodded, "It seems you do have some level of cultivation. So drink up, this wine is truly nourishing, it does no harm to the body, and for the two elders, it satisfies cravings without harming their health, and can even strengthen the body."

Hearing what Daoist Qing Mu said, Secretary Cao completely let himself go; the table was ablaze with enthusiastic drinking, especially Ning Guoqiang, as one of the fathers-in-law, he was drinking heartily with the big bosses.

After a while, Ye Ling went to toast the other tables, especially the tables of his fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law. By the time he reached the Lin Family's banquet, the elder Lin's cheeks were flush with drink.

"Young Ye, Yu Qing told me this wine doesn't damage the body when you drink it? And true enough, after three liang, I feel so comfortable all over," Elder Lin laughed heartily.

Ye Ling nodded, "Elder, rest assured, drinking this wine is more effective than taking medicine!"

"Well then, I'll take a hundred bottles when I leave!" Elder Lin waved his hand, not feeling it was shameful at all to ask for his grandson-in-law, it wasn't for someone else after all.

"Elder, five hundred bottles!" Ye Ling declared with a sweeping gesture, his spirit soaring to the sky.

Laughing heartily, the elder lifted his cup and, ignoring the people advising him at his side, drank three glasses with Ye Ling, put down his cup, and laughed out loud, delighted.

The wedding banquet gradually concluded, and after seeing off all the distinguished guests, including Secretary Cao, only Mo Xing and a bunch of young heirs were left in the entire estate.

"Come on, Ye Ling, you're not getting away!" Mo Xing already began to slur his words, shouting loudly.

Ye Ling smiled coldly, "Hey, you guys are looking for death, wives, come on, let's drink these fellows under the table with your husband!"

Instantly, Ye Ling led a group of brides in wedding gowns to pick up their cups and started a wild drinking challenge against a bunch of guys.
