Chapter 143 Foundation Building Ceremony
"What's the point of saying all this now? Regardless, Xu Yun's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage is a fact."
In the main seat, Zhao Yunxuan, with her graceful demeanor and noble bearing, had a somber expression and was holding her forehead, clearly showing that she was also anxious and uneasy.
She never expected that Xu Yun would be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage under those circumstances.
In comparison, she had the cultivation environment and resources provided by the Zhao family of Ziyu, but even so, Zhao Yunxuan was not confident that she could establish her foundation.
The fact that Xu Yun was able to successfully establish his foundation under such circumstances suggests either incredible luck or some other unknown opportunity.
But even if they know all this, what difference does it make? Once they achieve Foundation Establishment, even the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild will have to give them some leeway, let alone their clansmen who are only at the Qi Refining level.
You should know that they are the masterminds behind the suppression of Xu Yun. In order to quell the other party's anger and resentment, the Ziyu Zhao family might push them out for Xu Yun to deal with.
"No, I have a bright future ahead of me, and I might even reach the Foundation Establishment stage. How can I possibly die with Shi Han because of something like this?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunxuan took a deep breath and looked coldly at Shi Han. "It is said that Senior Xu is holding a Foundation Establishment Ceremony. The best course of action now is to show our sincerity before he mentions the events of that year."
"What my wife means is..."
'
Upon hearing this, Shi Han seemed to realize something, and his expression turned even uglier. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to plunge them into his flesh.
"It's very simple. When Senior Xu holds the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, you will personally go and apologize, and make sure to wipe the slate clean of what happened back then."
Zhao Yunxuan pointed at the other person, her lips slightly parted, conveying a sense of command.
Upon hearing this, Shi Han completely erupted in anger, shouting, "Why? Back then, it wasn't just me targeting and suppressing Xu Yun. Why was it only me who went? Zhao Yunxuan, what about you?!"
At this moment, Shi Han completely disregarded their years of affection and stared intently at Zhao Yunxuan.
He knew that as a son-in-law, his status was low, and he was only able to barely have a place in the Ziyu Zhao family because of Zhao Yunxuan.
In his view, although it didn't sound good to others, he had indeed gained real benefits, which was much better than the hard work he had done in Mofeng City back then.
Therefore, he was very grateful to Zhao Yunxuan, but after so many years, it did not mean that Shi Han was unaware that Zhao Yunxuan had always treated him as a tool.
He hadn't pointed it out because of their long-standing relationship and mutual benefit, but now Zhao Yunxuan wasn't even putting on an act, clearly crossing Shi Han's bottom line.
More importantly, if he were to go to Xu Yun's Foundation Establishment Ceremony alone, he might actually be killed on the spot as a way for the Ziyu Zhao family to give Xu Yun an explanation.
At that moment, Shi Han felt an unimaginable surge of dissatisfaction and resentment, and he said hoarsely, "This matter concerns you as well; you must come with me!"
"Hmph? Just because you're a son-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunxuan's beautiful face couldn't help but reveal a sneer. She crossed her legs and said coldly, "I'll just ask you, when I suggested you become the son-in-law of the Ziyu Zhao family, did I ever force you?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Han's face stiffened, and he opened and closed his mouth, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.
Because back then, he was indeed attracted by the power of the Zhao family in Ziyu, and Zhao Yunxuan happened to propose marriage, which is why he chose to become a son-in-law.
Strictly speaking, this was indeed his own choice, and no one ever forced him to make it.
"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste any more words with you. Someone will take you to Senior Xu's Foundation Establishment Ceremony. At that time, you'll just have to leave it to fate."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yunxuan didn't even bother to look at Shi Han. She simply waved her hand lightly, and a surging wave of energy shot out, forming a bolt of lightning that directly blasted him out of the cave.
Shi Han's eyes widened and his body trembled. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already fallen to the ground outside the cave.
The mud and dust stained his luxurious clothes, and his once carefree and smug face became disheveled. He clenched his teeth, filled with resentment and bitterness.
Overwhelmed by panic and regret, two lines of tears streamed down his face, running down his cheeks to his mouth, leaving him looking utterly disheveled.
"Did I...make the wrong choice?"
One month later, in Mofeng City.
At this moment, the entire city was bustling with activity, especially the Muyun Merchant Guild's headquarters, which was teeming with activity.
The place was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the sound of drums resounded continuously.
Many cultivators gathered outside, wanting to catch a glimpse of Senior Xu Yun's appearance, and some even dared to try their luck and see if they could be accepted as his disciples.
Even if we can't, it's good to share in the joy.
After all, Mofeng City hadn't seen a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had just broken through for quite some time. More importantly, this Senior Xu was breaking through at nearly sixty years old, which gave many rogue cultivators some motivation.
Of course, some clever and observant people believed that Senior Xu must have had some kind of special opportunity to achieve his breakthrough.
Foundation Establishment, but in any case, the other party is the focus of Mofeng City today.
"The Mofeng City lineage comes to offer their congratulations!"
"The Jin Lingping family has come to offer their congratulations!"
"The Lin family of Biyun has come to offer their congratulations!"
As the voice of the hostess rang out from outside the palace complex, the invited cultivators took their seats in a large hall inside, forming two rows, and a series of delicious dishes were served.
These delicacies are all spiritual foods, and even cultivators who practice Qi cultivation will benefit greatly from consuming them, as they will greatly aid their own cultivation.
Meanwhile, graceful and lithe dancers performed in the center of the hall, eliciting cheers and applause.
Xu Yunduan sat in the main seat. As the protagonist of this Foundation Establishment Ceremony, he enjoyed the attention of many people, and many fellow cultivators came to congratulate him and offer generous gifts.
For a moment, Xu Yun couldn't stop smiling. He received so many gifts that his hands were sore, which greatly expanded his resources and foundation.
Wenxuan Qi has done a really good job.
Xu Yun sighed inwardly. If the other party hadn't used the reputation of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce and the Ruohe Wen family to invite others, the scale of this Foundation Establishment Ceremony would probably have been much smaller.
What's more, Wen Siyue, the eldest daughter of the Ruohe Wen family, happened to be present, which immediately attracted the attention of many people who came to pay their respects.
Thanks to this, Xu Yun's Foundation Establishment Ceremony is probably comparable to that of some people with family traditions.
"The Zhao family of Ziyu has come to offer their congratulations!"
As the voice of the outsider rang out, Xu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing an expression of no surprise.
Meanwhile, the others also had different expressions. As the family that currently holds the main power in the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, they naturally had to come and offer their congratulations in person for such a major event as the Chamber's enshrined member breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Soon, accompanied by a series of footsteps, two figures appeared in front of Xu Yun and the others.
One of the middle-aged men was tall and had a thick beard. He exuded a heroic air, and his aura was particularly powerful, making him appear to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
However, at this moment, Xu Yun's attention was focused on the man he had pushed in front of him, as if he were detaining a criminal.
He was timid and hesitant, as if he was very uncomfortable. He didn't dare to look up at Xu Yun and just stood there with his head down.
It was none other than Shi Han, who had betrayed them back then.
