Chapter 456 - 111: Longyan Celestial Human Banquet (Part 2 Conclusion)_4
The Purple Mansion Academy holds a transcendent status. Their identity is sensitive, not suited for public appearances, but they still wished to congratulate Ancestor Longyan, thus resorting to such a compromise.
On the auspicious day and time, the Celestial Human Banquet of the Ping’an Wang Family officially began.
This time, the venue for the Celestial Human Banquet was on the second floor of the newly constructed Wanghu Restaurant by Wang Shouzhe.
This floor was specially designed, with the entire level elevated, offering an expansive view. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, one could take in the full scenery of Zhuwei Lake.
The interior of the floor was decorated luxuriously, with opulent glazed lamps adorning the entire ceiling. When the lights were on, the warm tones of the light made it very comfortable.
The mode of the banquet also referenced the common modes from Wang Shouzhe’s past life.
Well-trained waitstaff, a systematic kitchen service, and various fresh dishes... The entire banquet was novel in form, yet meticulous in detail, leaving the major noble families amazed and intrigued.
The Wang Clan Members flitted among the guests like butterflies, striving to make them feel at home.
Because the Wang Family rose so rapidly and had too few clan members, almost every available member was present, including the eleven-year-old "Shi" generation eldest Wang Shining, who had to entertain guests and offer toasts. Only children under the age of ten, who hadn’t fully learned the rules and etiquette, could take it easy.
Yet, it also provided a stage for the young ones to showcase themselves. The demeanor of the younger generation of the Wang Family was fully exhibited in this process of entertaining guests.
In recent years, the rise of the Wang Family has been so swift that the major noble families, though silent outwardly, secretly whispered and speculated, with many viewing the Wang Family as nouveau riche. Yet, none dared to say it to the Wang Family’s face.
This is also a common ailment among noble families.
When a noble family rises too quickly, it inevitably draws envy and jealousy from all quarters.
Calling the Wang Family "nouveau riche" is but a bitter remark, attempting to derive a sense of superiority based on a longer family history compared to the Wang Family.
In most cases, their speculations are not without reason, as a rapid rise does indeed make it easy for gaps in nurturing younger generations to appear.
But the Wang Family is a notable exception.
Under Wang Shouzhe’s insistence, the Wang Family has always been comprehensive and sparing no effort in nurturing young talents.
Influenced by modern educational principles, Wang Shouzhe deeply understands that young talents are the future of a family and the foundation for its future development.
If the foundation is unstable, a family’s prosperity is but a fleeting display, hollow and ephemeral.
As the saying goes, "A belly full of poetry exudes brilliance," when there is substance at heart, one’s actions are naturally solid. Although the younger members of the Wang Family are not yet highly cultivated, they all exhibit remarkable poise, with even the girls showing extraordinary grace and charm.
Moreover, what’s particularly commendable is that despite their outstanding qualities, these young people remain humble and grounded, not letting the temporary prosperity of the Wang Family make them conceited.
All the noble families present are well-experienced, fully aware that such demeanor can only be cultivated from careful upbringing in childhood. If it were one or two, it could be called a coincidence, but with everyone being outstanding, it could only be attributed to the Wang Family’s capability. The term "nouveau riche" no longer applies.
For a time, even the Celestial Human Families, who traditionally held themselves in high regard, slightly restrained their disdainful attitudes.
The Wang Family, with such prospects, seems to have a lasting momentum~
After several rounds of wine and multiple courses, the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became more and more lively.
During this time, Ancestor Longyan made a public appearance, discussing and exploring cultivation paths with the visiting Celestial Human Ancestors, pushing the banquet’s atmosphere to a peak.
For a moment, the entire second floor of Wanghu Restaurant was immersed in a sea of laughter and joy.
Suddenly.
A large white mist engulfed Zhuwei Lake, with the ethereal fog almost covering half of the lake’s surface.
Amidst the mist, a long, melodious dragon’s roar suddenly emerged from the sky, instantly echoing through the clouds.
Simultaneously, a massive dragon’s silhouette, accompanied by imposing dragon power, appeared in the fog, racing towards the direction of Wanghu Restaurant.
The vast might, along with intense cold and humidity, swept in through the open windows.
In an instant, the temperature on the second floor of Wanghu Restaurant dropped dramatically, with even the hot dishes on the tables turning cold almost immediately.
Outside the window, the enormous form and the overwhelming pressure brought by the dragon power almost suffocated those present.
"Profound Ice Suffering Flood Dragon!"
The Celestial Human Ancestors present, seeing this, had their expressions change drastically in shock.
The "Profound Ice Suffering Flood Dragon" is a standout among the ice attribute Jiaolong, with potent bloodlines and a melodious dragon cry akin to an ice spike striking a metal bell, making it easily distinctive.
A Profound Ice Suffering Flood Dragon with such overwhelming might is likely Tier Six, and any Purple Mansion Ascendant with a slightly weaker strength would steer clear upon seeing it, unwilling to provoke it lightly.
Where did this Profound Ice Suffering Flood Dragon come from? Could it have come from the Outer Domain? Could it be that the Changning Wang Family offended some Beast King in the Outer Domain?
For a moment, everyone was filled with worry and unease.
Of course, many secretly took delight in the misfortune.
Despite the many Celestial Human Ancestors present, if this Profound Ice Suffering Flood Dragon were to attack the Wang Family, few would lend a hand, and most Celestial Human Ancestors would just watch from the sidelines.
