Chapter 446

Seeing someone come in, Song Qingming, whose spiritual sense had already sensed the other party one step ahead, hurriedly removed the soundproofing restriction beside him, waved his hand to Song Xinhu on the side and said: "Xinhu! You go and get busy first. After a while, I will let Qingsi pick another suitable person in the clan to come and help you."

After Song Xinhu nodded, he turned his head and saw Huang Siyuan standing at the door, immediately greeted her with a smile, and then retreated slowly, closing the door of the room softly.

After Song Xinhu left, Huang Siyuan walked slowly toward Song Qingming and asked calmly: "I have been in closed-door cultivation for these few days and didn't know what happened in the market. I only heard the news that Elder Shi passed away a few days ago when I arrived at the door. You came to the market this time, you should be here specifically to mourn him, right!"

"Hmm! I have already paid my respects to Shi Chun just now. When I was in danger in the Fuyun Mountain Range back then, he also helped me. An old friend has passed away, how can I not come to send him off."

Upon hearing this, Huang Siyuan nodded gently: "Then! Are you going back now, or are you going to stay for a meal before leaving?"

Song Qingming smiled and shook his head and said: "I came to Qinghe Market today, besides mourning Shi Chun, there is another matter I want to ask your opinion in person."

"What is it, ask!" Huang Siyuan looked at Song Qingming with confusion.

"The family is going to hold a Foundation Establishment ceremony for Yuanli in half a month, and will invite all major families in Qinghe County to come. I want you to return to Mount Funiu with me and participate in this family celebration together. I wonder what you think?"

Hearing Song Qingming invite her to return to Mount Funiu together, a look of surprise appeared on Huang Siyuan's face.

Ever since she was forced by the family to become a Daoist partner with Song Qingming back then, the relationship between the two of them had never been publicized in public. As a result, some young cultivators of the current Song family did not even know about the existence of the family's mistress, let alone other immortal cultivation forces in Qinghe County.

Now that their cultivation bases were no longer what they were back then, and they no longer had the pressure and concerns of the family, they could already do what they wanted to do.

This time Song Qingming invited Huang Siyuan to participate in Song Yuanli's Foundation Establishment celebration together, his meaning was self-evident, which was to make the relationship between the two Daoist partners public in front of everyone.

——

Half a month later, Mount Funiu of the Song family.

Early in the morning, Song Qingming walked out of the cave dwelling and came to the top of the mountain, looking at the Song family everywhere on the mountain that was already full of joy, his face was full of happy smiles.

A moment later, a fragrant wind blew, and a white beautiful shadow suddenly appeared beside Song Qingming again.

"Qingyu and the others are busy and dizzy, but you are so leisurely, hiding here all the time and not going down to help!"

Song Qingming smiled and turned to Huang Siyuan on the side and said: "I am the Song family Clan Leader after all, I can't go down to welcome guests in person!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Siyuan smiled and didn't say anything more, and cast her gaze down the mountain with Song Qingming again.

This was the first time the Song family held a Foundation Establishment celebration, and it was naturally very lively. Not only were major immortal cultivation families in Qinghe County invited, but also many rogue cultivators with some fame around Qinghe County came to Mount Funiu to join in the fun.

Before the Foundation Establishment celebration started, Mount Funiu had already begun to be noisy day and night. Many cultivators who came to participate, in order not to miss this rare grand event in Qinghe County, came to the mountain a few days in advance, which also made the Song family cultivators busy and unable to touch the ground from these few days.

In order to hold this Foundation Establishment celebration well, besides the cultivators who were already on the mountain, Song Qingsi also specially recalled many Song family cultivators who were performing tasks outside to rush back to Mount Funiu to help prepare for the celebration.

Sending invitations to various immortal cultivation families, purchasing various spiritual items needed by guests for the banquet, arranging the celebration venue, etc., even if they had prepared a month in advance, the Song family members were still busy and caught off guard during these days of the celebration, and even Song Qingyu, the family's Foundation Establishment ancestor, was temporarily pulled to greet guests.

On the day the Foundation Establishment celebration started, with the arrival of major Foundation Establishment family forces, the lively atmosphere on Mount Funiu was raised to the peak again, and Song Qingming, the Song family Clan Leader, also appeared in front of everyone with Huang Siyuan.

At this time, all the cultivators who came to Mount Funiu to participate in the celebration were also concentrated in the large square outside the originally very empty council hall.

In the middle of the square, the Song family built a tall platform more than ten feet wide. Those sitting above the platform were all Foundation Establishment forces in Qinghe County. Besides people from the Huang, Gao, and Lu families, there were also two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Carefree Sect stationed near Qinghe County, as well as Song Xinyu who specially rushed back from thousands of miles away.

Added to the Song family's side, Song Qingming, Song Qingyu, Huang Siyuan, and Song Yuanli, who had just established his foundation not long ago, there were as many as ten Foundation Establishment cultivators on the celebration high platform today. This scene, which was rare in Qinghe County, also made the Qi Refining cultivators who came to participate in the celebration excited.

Especially those Qi Refining immortal clans who were attached to the Song family near Mount Funiu, seeing that the Song family was becoming stronger and stronger and someone had successfully established their foundation, they were also very excited in their hearts.

The stronger the Song family of Mount Funiu, the safer the Song family's territory would be. They were attached to the Song family, and their lives would naturally be more stable in the future. For a weak immortal cultivation family, this was indeed a very important thing.

Of course, the cultivators who came here to participate in the celebration were not all happy in their hearts. Compared with those Qi Refining families that had little influence on Qinghe County, the few Foundation Establishment cultivators on the high platform who came on behalf of their own families were somewhat mixed in their hearts.

Watching the Song family develop and grow step by step, while their own family faced the crisis of having no successors, Lu Xingde of the Lu family also felt a sense of melancholy. He now only had a few decades of lifespan left. If he couldn't cultivate a new Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Lu family would definitely decline rapidly in the future.

Not only Lu Xingde, but Huang Sipo, sitting beside him, also felt a hint of unease when he saw the Song family developing so rapidly now.

Although the Huang family had declined somewhat because of the passing of the old Clan Leader Huang Shengyang, the overall strength was not so affected. But now, with Song Yuanli's successful Foundation Establishment, the Song family's strength had already surpassed the Gao family.

If the Song family were allowed to develop like this for a few more decades, the Huang family would definitely not be far from giving up the position of the first family in Qinghe County. However, fortunately, the relationship between the Huang family and the Song family had always been very good, and there was no need to worry about the Song family's growth having too much impact on the Huang family for the time being.

Only Gao Yubai of the Gao family, sitting on the high platform, had been relatively indifferent. He didn't care much about the development of the family, and the Gao family had remained the same over the years without any major changes.

Gao Yubai had good personal cultivation talent and had always paid attention to his own cultivation. Now his cultivation base had reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. Gao Yubai's biggest goal in his eyes was naturally only Core Formation, and other things were not very important to him.

Song Qingming, sitting in the middle of the high platform above, looked at the scene of people moving and laughter below, and felt very happy in his heart. After greeting the several Foundation Establishment cultivators on the platform with Song Yuanli on the side, Song Qingming came to the front of the high platform again.

"Many thanks to all fellow Daoists for giving face to come here to celebrate the Foundation Establishment celebration held by my Song family. Today, my Song family has successors, and there are juniors who have successfully established their foundation. This is also the care of heaven.

Next, please eat and drink well, fellow Daoists. If there is any lack of hospitality, I hope everyone will forgive me!"

As Song Qingming's voice fell, the many Song family cultivators and mortals who had already been prepared below immediately brought up the spiritual food and fine wine that had already been prepared. Seeing so many delicious spiritual items that were rare to see at ordinary times, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became even more lively.

This celebration lasted from the afternoon until the moon shone in the sky, and Mount Funiu slowly quieted down.

"Clan Leader Song, please stay. I didn't expect that I didn't pay attention to the time and chatted until so late. Next time, please come to my Mount Taiyuan, Brother Daoist, to taste wine and discuss the Dao again!"

Song Qingming smiled and returned the salute to Huang Sipo: "That's settled. After Fellow Daoist Huang goes back, please send my regards to Fellow Daoist Shengyue. I will definitely visit in person another day."

After Huang Sipo nodded, he greeted Huang Siyuan, who was standing beside Song Qingming, and then stepped on his sword and drifted away.

After sending Huang Sipo away, seeing that there were no guests on the high platform, Song Qingming turned and took Huang Siyuan back to the cave dwelling on the top of the mountain.

Seeing that Song Qingming, who had drunk a lot of spirit wine, had a slightly flushed face, Huang Siyuan hurried to the side to boil a pot of spirit tea, brought a cup and sent it to Song Qingming, helping him relieve some of the alcohol on his body.

Seeing that after Song Qingming drank a cup of spirit tea, his complexion slowly calmed down a lot, Huang Siyuan just wanted to stand up, but Song Qingming, who was sitting on the side, suddenly grabbed her jade hand fiercely.

"Siyuan, don't be in a hurry to leave today!"

After Huang Siyuan was stunned for a moment, a blush slowly appeared on her face and she said softly: "I'm not leaving now, I just want to pour you another cup of tea."

Although Huang Siyuan had been at Mount Funiu for half a month, she did not choose to live in the same cave dwelling as Song Qingming, but opened up a new cave dwelling next to his cave dwelling.

Although the two of them basically stayed together during the day, they would still return to their respective cave dwellings to practice in closed-door at night.

"Oh! Drinking too much spirit wine is indeed uncomfortable, it is necessary to drink more tea." Hearing Huang Siyuan's answer, Song Qingming slowly let go of her jade hand and laughed to himself.

Huang Siyuan, who was somewhat uneasy in her heart, carefully brought the teapot over and refilled a cup of spirit tea for Song Qingming. What was strange was that Song Qingming drank the spirit tea in one gulp this time, but said nothing.

Seeing that after pouring several cups of spirit tea in a row, Song Qingming was still only drinking tea and did not speak again, Huang Siyuan's complexion slowly calmed down.

Just when Huang Siyuan was about to continue pouring tea, Song Qingming suddenly reached out and stopped her.

"No need, Siyuan, I've had enough, and it's getting late."

Huang Siyuan nodded silently, put away the tea set on the table, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, this time Song Qingming suddenly grabbed Huang Siyuan's jade hand again, and then looked into her eyes affectionately.

"Whatever you have to say can be said tomorrow. I'm going back today, you should also practice early!" Huang Siyuan looked at Song Qingming, and a smile appeared on her face.

Song Qingming shook his head at Huang Siyuan.

"Today, I don't want to practice!"

After speaking, Song Qingming smiled and pulled Huang Siyuan into his arms.

I have discovered that many new book friends have come recently. If it is convenient, why not join the book friend group and chat together: 236038447.
