As you can see, even the renowned Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Bai, who is famous throughout Chang'an, is only at the peak of the Golden Core realm.
The stronger Jiang Che's cultivation became, the more proud Yun Ying felt.
How could the man I've set my sights on be a mediocre nobody?
"Early stage of Nascent Soul?"
"Is everything you said true?"
"Are you kidding me, Father?"
Yun Hong frowned slightly, glanced at Yun Ying suspiciously, and asked hesitantly.
Clearly, he didn't really believe Yunying's answer.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator in his early twenties?
Even the Empress probably didn't have such a terrifying cultivation speed back then!
Generally speaking, one begins body tempering at eight and Qi cultivation at sixteen. An ordinary cultivator who can break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in their early twenties can be considered a genius.
Golden Core cultivators in their early twenties are extremely rare, each one a prodigy destined to become a powerful cultivator in the future.
He had seen quite a few Golden Core cultivators in their early twenties before, but he had never heard of anyone at that age who could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.
Even if one started cultivating directly from the womb, it would be impossible to cultivate at such a fast speed!
This fact was indeed somewhat unbelievable, so when Yun Hong heard Yun Ying say this, his first reaction was that his precious daughter was talking nonsense.
"I remember when I saw Jiang Che a month ago, he was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage..."
"Yun girl, are you sure you're not joking?"
Cheng Yaojin also looked at Yun Ying with disbelief and a strange expression, as if Yun Ying was talking nonsense.
Is it possible to cross an entire major realm in just one month, breaking through from the peak of Foundation Establishment to the Nascent Soul stage?
Even a reincarnated immortal wouldn't be this fast!
"I knew you wouldn't believe me..."
"It's alright, you'll believe me when you see Jiang Che in a little while..."
Yun Ying pursed her lips, having already anticipated her father's reaction; she knew he definitely wouldn't believe her answer.
But Yunying didn't intend to argue. The more she disbelieved him now, the more she would be proven wrong when Jiang Che arrived!
As the group was talking, a maid trotted into the hall, bowed slightly, and respectfully addressed Yun Hong.
"Master, Young Master Jiang has arrived..."
"I've arranged for him to stay in the reception hall. Should I bring him here?"
After speaking, the little maid glanced at Yun Ying beside her without leaving a trace.
It was no secret in the Yun family that the eldest daughter of the Yun family had gone to Qingyun Manor to live with a man named Jiang Che.
As a servant in the Yun household, she was also aware of this, having heard some rumors before.
The maid didn't quite believe these rumors at first.
As the eldest daughter of the Yun family, how high are Yun Ying's standards?
How could she possibly live with a man in an ambiguous relationship?
But the moment she saw Jiang Che, she no longer had such thoughts.
Such a handsome man is truly a rare sight in my life.
As expected of the young lady of the Yun family, she has a sharp eye!
"Please ask him to come over..."
"Give the order to prepare a banquet. I'm going to throw a grand feast tonight!"
Yun Hong gave the order in a deep voice. After listening to his daughter's words, he was filled with curiosity about this young man, Jiang Che, and wanted to see him for himself.
Seeing his beloved daughter so confident and fearless, Yun Hong couldn't help but waver a little.
"Yes……"
The maidservant accepted the order, bowed, and left.
...............
About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Che arrived at the hall with his maid.
"Jiang Che, a junior, greets Uncle Yun..."
"Greetings, Duke Lu, Grand Minister of Works..."
Jiang Che wore a warm smile, cupped his hands in greeting, and greeted Yun Hong and the others.
Having already thoroughly ravaged Yun Ying, he naturally had to treat Yun Hong with more respect, since he was, after all, Yun Ying's father.
Although it was the first time Jiang Che had met Sikong Zhen, he easily recognized him because of the fact that Sikong Zhen's face was 90% similar to the character in the game.
"Just a small token of my appreciation..."
"I hope Uncle Yun won't find it offensive..."
As he spoke, Jiang Che took out the various gifts he had just won at the auction house from his system space and handed them to the maids beside him.
Several maids subconsciously looked at Yun Hong, who was sitting upright in the main seat, waiting for him to give an order.
"You're so kind, my dear nephew..."
Yun Hong nodded lightly, without saying much, and waved for the maids to take the gifts and leave.
Although he only glanced at them twice, with his keen eye, he immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of these gifts; each one was quite valuable.
This shows that Jiang Che took his visit to the Yun residence very seriously.
Looking at Jiang Che in front of him, Yun Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Just as Yun Ying said, Jiang Che's cultivation had indeed reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Moreover, his breathing was steady and his expression was calm, which did not seem like a cultivation level that had been forcibly increased using some secret method.
For a moment, Yun Hong was somewhat dazed.
Back then, he was already over thirty when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Jiang Che was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage ten years ahead of him, so his future achievements are bound to be limitless!
Moreover, Jiang Che's appearance was also extremely good, and he had a tall and straight posture.
Yun Hong had a pretty good first impression of Jiang Che, and with his daughter in love with him, he had already begun to accept Jiang Che.
With powerful cultivation, striking appearance, and good manners, the next step is to observe the other party's speech and character to see if they are truly sincere in their care for my daughter.
"Since you're here, please have a seat..."
With many thoughts swirling in his mind, Yun Hong nodded to Jiang Che and then directly instructed the maid.
"Let's begin the dinner. Have the kitchen serve the dishes!"
"Yes, this servant will arrange it immediately..."
After the maids left one by one, only Yun Hong and a few others remained in the hall.
"You big bad guy, come sit here with me!"
Yun Ying patted the empty space next to her and looked at Jiang Che with anticipation.
Jiang Che naturally didn't refuse and sat down next to Yun Ying.
.....................
After the food was almost all served, Yun Hong instructed the servants to bring out the "Immortal's Wine," and then he, Jiang Che, and the other two drank heartily.
Once he started talking, Yun Hong acted like any ordinary father, asking Jiang Che all sorts of random questions, such as his plans for the future.
Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run yet?
Although this was Jiang Che's first time meeting the parents, he had seen many similar scenarios before his transmigration and had some experience with this kind of thing, so he answered fluently.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.
"Jiang Che, I heard from Li Bai that you also have the idea of going to the Great Wall to guard the frontier?"
Cheng Yaojin took a swig of wine, looked at Jiang Che, and asked with interest.
After the Grand Examination at the Court of State Ceremonies concluded, Li Bai left Chang'an. Before leaving, he naturally got drunk with Cheng Yaojin again and casually mentioned Jiang Che's plan to go to the Great Wall.
Although Li Bai did not explicitly state what Jiang Che was going to do at the Great Wall, Cheng Yaojin already had a guess in his mind.
The Great Wall is far from Chang'an, in a remote location. Outside the pass is a vast desert, and inside the pass, yellow sand fills the sky. The climate is hot and dry, unlike the bustling Chang'an.
What else could one do besides guarding the frontier and making contributions?
"You big bad guy, are you really planning to go to the Great Wall to guard the frontier?"
Before Jiang Che could answer, Yun Ying, who was standing to the side, became a little unsettled after hearing Cheng Yaojin's words. She frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Che hesitantly, and asked in a charming voice.
At this moment, Yunying's mind was filled with countless thoughts, and she couldn't help but start to let her imagination run wild.
She knew perfectly well that Jiang Che had no shortage of cultivation resources or techniques; the academy had all sorts of rare and precious herbs and elixirs, and he never lacked anything.
Since he was already valued by Haiyue and the Empress, Jiang Che didn't need to make any achievements.
Could it be that... I and Sister Ali have been exploiting Jiang Che too much these past few days, causing him to have some thoughts of escaping?
But... that doesn't make sense either!
Isn't Jiang Che still full of energy and vitality?
Where is there even the slightest sign of weakness?
"It's not about guarding the frontier..."
"My plan to go to the Great Wall is simply to gain some experience..."
"My cultivation has now reached the Nascent Soul stage. My cultivation has improved too quickly, and I lack combat experience, which is why I want to go to the Great Wall to train..."
"You know, there's no shortage of high-level demonic beasts there..."
Jiang Che shook his head slightly and explained a few words to Yun Ying.
