Martial Peak

Chapter 3126, Pleasing the Tigress

After a long bout of drinking, many bottles of wine had been exhausted. Countless people collapsed to the ground as loud snoring could be heard in the square.

Normally, cultivators wouldn’t get drunk by drinking wine. They could just circulate their Secret Arts and let their Qi disperse the effects of alcohol. However, it was time for celebration, so they were all feeling joyous and wouldn’t do such a thing to dampen the mood.

They kept waking up, drinking, getting drunk and sleeping as though they were in an infinite loop. Thousands of cultivators walked around and clinked glasses with each other as they pushed their worries to the back of their minds. At this moment, they were all elated as they were set on becoming totally wasted.

In the main hall, Yang Kai was seated in the main seat as toasts were proposed to him one by one. He wouldn’t reject any one of them as he gulped down the wine, showing enough respect to his guests, thereby livening up this celebration-cum-welcome-back party.

After the Seniors were done drinking with Yang Kai, it was the younger generations’ turn.

Yang Kai wasn’t so familiar with the older cultivators, but he had more or less come into contact with these young ones before.

The married couple Wei Gu Chang and Dong Xuan’er from Shadow Moon Hall, Dai Yuan and Yin Su Die from Coloured Glass Sect, Shen Shi Tao and Lu Ying from Clear Sky Sect, had all gone through life-or-death moments with Yang Kai, so they were on good terms.

However, during this reunion after several dozen years, there seemed to be a kind of barrier between them, so they were not as close to each other as before. This barrier was caused by the difference in their realms.

The difference in their cultivation and status made them unable to look at Yang Kai in the same light as several dozen years ago. There seemed to be an invisible layer of restraint between them.

A person would always get to know new friends and companions in his cultivation journey; however, as one forged onwards, when they looked back, they would realise that they could no longer see many of those familiar figures from the past.

Nevertheless, precious memories would always be kept in the deepest part of their hearts. Whenever they thought about it, they would be able to put on a proud smile. [Look, this powerful man once ran alongside me as I climbed the Martial Dao. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to keep up with him, so I was soon left behind. Nevertheless, I’ll never forget this experience. I’m sure both of us will remember the time we spent together.]

“Sect Master, let me propose a toast to you. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve lost my life. The reason I’ve even achieved such success is thanks to you, so I’m eternally grateful to you.”

Gazing at the woman before his eyes, Yang Kai smiled faintly and gulped down the wine before saying, “Yun’er is doing well now.”

Huang Juan’s body shook as she looked dazedly at Yang Kai.

“I just met her some time ago. She has come of age, so she’s looking like an adult now.” Yang Kai spoke in a small voice, but he was the centre of attention, so the moment he started speaking, the hall immediately fell into silence as they listened to him intentionally or otherwise.

“She’s grown up…” Huang Juan’s gaze appeared longing, as though she was trying to imagine what the little girl, who was reluctant to leave her in the past, looked like now that she had grown up. In fact, Lin Yun’er wasn’t her biological daughter, but rather the daughter of a married couple who were Huang Juan’s good friends. After the couple was killed in an accident, Huang Juan took in Lin Yun’er and regarded her as her own daughter. After they came across Yang Kai, he brought them back with him to enter High Heaven Sect. Soon after though, Lin Yun’er was taken away by Yang Yan.

Huang Juan covered her mouth and uttered, “I’m glad that she’s safe.” Her tears were already sliding down her face, and no matter how hard she tried to wipe them, they just wouldn’t stop streaming out of her eyes. She was on her own, so she was most concerned about Lin Yun’er. However, in this kind of atmosphere, it wasn’t inappropriate for her to ask Yang Kai for more details; what she didn’t know was that he would mention these things on his own.

Yang Kai put on a smile, “She was taken in as a
