Three days later, the War God Divine Clan was extremely lively. The ground, paved with nine-colored glazed tiles, radiated a warm luster. Powerful figures from various major forces appeared one after another, and for a time, auspicious signs abounded.
Some rode on colorful phoenixes, their cries echoing across the heavens; others strode through the void, their bodies emanating an unparalleled and terrifying aura, each step causing the space to tremble and crack.
The reason for the great commotion is, of course, that today is the birthday of an ancestor of the War God Divine Clan. As a powerful force that rules over thousands of planets, the War God Divine Clan naturally commands respect from everyone.
A chorus of congratulatory greetings rose and fell, merging into a cacophony. Powerful figures from various factions filed in, presenting precious birthday gifts. Each gift was priceless and extremely valuable.
Outside the War God Divine Clan, a man walked in. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, his silver hair, as white as frost and as white as snow, flowed freely, fluttering in the breeze like a flowing Milky Way.
And this man was Su Chen.
Su Chen was tall and slender, with an upright posture. Every move he made exuded an innate noble air, making it clear at a glance that he was no ordinary person. To outsiders, he looked like a young master of noble status. Therefore, the people of the War God Divine Clan let Su Chen in without even checking his invitation.
The War God Divine Clan is vast. As far as the eye can see, the continuous mountain peaks resemble giant dragons winding and coiling, stretching as far as the eye can see. These peaks soar into the clouds, piercing the sky, shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.
The War God Divine Clan's buildings are layered and staggered along the mountainside. The crisscrossing divine veins run through the entire Lineage, and the rich divine energy surges like a turbulent tide within them.
As soon as Su Chen stepped into the area, he saw a dense crowd, shoulder to shoulder, coming and going like a tide. They chatted with each other, and laughter echoed in the air; some held up wine glasses, weaving through the crowd, toasting each other.
Su Chen frowned slightly. He didn't like this kind of occasion. He glanced around the room and found that Yan Qingwu was not there. Perhaps she would appear later. Therefore, Su Chen walked towards a less crowded place.
The noise only disappeared when we reached another mountain peak, leaving behind only tranquility and peace. This mountain peak was like a paradise carefully sculpted by heaven and earth, with a light and unique fragrance in the air, as if it were a mixture of various Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs and herbs.
Suddenly, a melodious zither tune drifted from the mountain peaks. At first, the music became deep and powerful, its sound like a clear mountain spring, carrying a unique purity, echoing Youyou.
Su Chen became interested and followed the sound of the zither. Along the way, he passed through dense forests, where the leaves rustled in the breeze, as if accompanying the zither music.
Until they came to an open area, a lake suddenly appeared before them. The lake was as calm as a mirror, and the water was crystal clear. Sunlight poured down, and the water shimmered, like tiny pieces of gold sparkling.
In the middle of the lake, an exquisite pavilion stood quietly. Su Chen looked closely and saw a woman sitting under the pavilion. The woman was dressed in a white gauze dress, her clothes fluttering, like a fairy descended from heaven.
Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. A thin veil covered her face, yet it could not conceal her stunning beauty.
Her slender fingers Qingwu on the strings, each pluck producing beautiful notes that blended perfectly with the surrounding natural scenery, creating a dreamlike and enchanting atmosphere.
However, Su Chen heard a faint sadness in this beautiful melody, like a ripple on the surface of a lake, fleeting yet real.
Su Chen listened quietly without disturbing the conversation until it ended.
"Didn't anyone tell you that this place is off-limits?" the woman asked calmly, gently stroking her guqin. She seemed to have noticed someone's presence long ago.
"Nobody really told me that. Since I can't just enter this place, I'll leave." Su Chen nodded slightly, and without much hesitation, turned and left.
"Wait a moment." Upon hearing this, the woman frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and called out to Su Chen.
"Is there something you need?" Su Chen paused in his steps.
"Since you're already here, why not sit down for a while?" the woman said.
Su Chen glanced at the woman, took a step forward, and appeared in the pavilion.
Gazing at Su Chen's exquisitely handsome face, the woman was filled with astonishment. It could be said that Su Chen was the most handsome man she had ever seen, without exception. It was also the first time she had ever seen such a good-looking man.
That face must have captivated countless stunningly beautiful young women, right?
This thought involuntarily popped into the woman's mind. This was her first impression of Su Chen: a scumbag!
Su Chen didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to find a seat.
The woman snapped out of her thoughts and smiled sweetly, "My name is Yan Yuwei. May I ask your name, sir?"
" Su Chen." Su Chen responded calmly.
"What did you think of my playing, Young Master Su?" Yan Yuwei asked with a smile.
"Not bad," Su Chen commented.
"That's it?" Yan Yuwei blinked.
"Mm." Su Chen nodded.
" Young Master Su is really aloof," Yan Yuwei said helplessly.
"You must be upset about something, right?" Su Chen suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yuwei was slightly taken aback, and her eyes immediately dimmed, but the dimming was fleeting. She smiled and said, "Young master, you can tell from that. You must play the zither often, right?"
"Occasionally, but not often," Su Chen said.
"Sigh." Yan Yuwei sighed softly, looking at the lake, and said in a low voice, " Young Master Su seems to be a very carefree and free person, not bound by anything, able to control his own life, unlike me, who can't even control my own future."
"Forced into an arranged marriage?" Su Chen said.
Yan Yuwei's expression froze instantly. She looked at Su Chen, her face full of surprise, and asked, "How did you know, young master?"
"Aren't all young ladies from powerful families like yourselves like this?" Su Chen said calmly.
"Heh, it seems that's true." Yan Yuwei gave a self-deprecating laugh, her expression somber. "Today is my grandfather's birthday, and many people will come. Among them, some will propose marriage to him."
"Are you so sure your grandfather will agree?" Su Chen asked rhetorically.
"Yes, I will," Yan Yuwei answered confidently. "Because I don't possess the cultivation talent and bloodline of the Goddess of Martial God like the Goddess, my greatest role is to arrange marriages to strengthen the Lineage."
"Think of it in a positive light, what if your grandfather doesn't agree?" Su Chen said.
"I hope so," Yan Yuwei said with a smile, though the smile seemed somewhat forced. She then asked, " Young Master Su, are you also here for Grandpa's birthday banquet?"
