Chapter 183.1
Chapter 183.1
At the end of the fifth month, many powerful and well-ranked families in Dongzhou received an invitation. The invitation was signed by Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran, and the content was an invitation to participate in the Wuling City Founding Ceremony and the wedding of Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran.
What the hell is Wuling City? Many people don’t know.
If it was just a city building ceremony, most of the big forces would simply throw the invitation aside, and similar invitations were basically handled in this way in the past.
It’s just that the invited party can throw invitations, but the inviting party has to send invitations.
This is a matter of etiquette and a sign of respect for the old forces from the party issuing the invitations as a new force.
As for what the established forces do, it depends on their own status and strength.
This time, they don’t have to go to the Wuling City Founding Ceremony. However, they had to go to Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran’s wedding. After all, standing behind them was the superpower, Yunjian Pavilion.
The founding ceremony is arranged on the fourteenth day of the sixth month, and the wedding ceremony is arranged on the sixteenth day of the same month.
All major forces and families prepared gifts early, and then carefully selected disciples or family children to participate in the founding ceremony and wedding on behalf of themselves.
This choice is a bit tricky.In many novels, it is often described that a certain sect and a certain family, in order to show respect for the host family, have the head or clan leader personally bring people to celebrate. In fact, this is a bit nonsense. Showing respect is appropriate, but overdoing it is just looking for trouble. Not only are you looking for trouble for yourself, but you are also looking for trouble for the host.
Since the sect leader or patriarch, can come forward today to please this person, will they come forward the next time a similar situation arises? If they show up, in the eyes of outsiders, it is being two-faced and weak-minded; if they don’t show up, then that means they don’t give the host face, and they don’t put the host in their eyes.
The former ruins character, while the latter brings disaster.
People may not be able to deal with the person you please, but they will probably be fine dealing with you.
And the party being flattered is also easy to become the target of public criticism because of this kind of thing.
If everyone is treated the same, no one will say anything more.
But if it’s just to please one party, it’s annoying.
So if the sect master or the patriarch really goes there in person, the hosts often have to ponder: Are these people unhappy with them?
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes; where there are rivers and lakes, there are struggles.
Especially when one’s status rises to a certain level, they will find that they become less and less free, and they are more and more afraid of making mistakes.
They have to think carefully about many things, because their words and deeds not only represent themselves, but also represent the forces behind them.
So no matter what they do, it will be over-interpreted.
Of course, this kind of thing is not without exception. For example, in some families with a small number of people, if the family can’t find a child who can stand on the stage, they can only do it themselves. Everyone can understand this kind of thing, so there is no need to delve into it.
For other forces with particularly close relationships, such as the relationship between Yunjian Pavilion and Tianyun Lingyin Pavilion, the leaders must definitely be there. But this is a personal relationship, and it is considered normal.
Therefore, in celebrations like this one, a city’s founding ceremony and wedding, it is just right to send a high-ranking child, which is both respectful and not too deliberate.
On the tenth day of the sixth month, disciples of sects and members of cultivator clans entered Wuling City one after another. And at the moment they entered Wuling City, they were shocked.
Because they feel the surging spiritual energy in the city.
The richness of this spiritual energy is almost equivalent to the level of ten-thousand-year sects level and thousand-year families.
In a Feng Shui treasure land like this, human brains can always be as clever as dogs. If you don’t have two brushes, you’d be brave enough to take a second look at it. Anyone who is qualified to covet this kind of Feng Shui treasure land is a superpower with strong foundations and many experts.
But this is not right. This Wuling City used to be an empty land. If Feng Shao hadn’t brought people here to build the city, it would have continued to be deserted! But with such a strong spiritual energy, who can let it go? But before that, no one had heard of this place being a Fengshui treasure land!
This made many people feel wrong, and at the same time made many people put Feng Shao on their watch lists.
