The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 195

Chapter 195 City Lord Proposes Marriage

At this moment, the entire Jiangyuan City was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights as they laughed happily. The streets were very lively, full of people, people coming and going, bustling, full of prosperity.

The news of taking down Yu Tian City and Leshan City had already been sent back one step ahead of schedule, immediately shaking the entire city.

Although such a result was already expected, when it actually happened, many people were still shocked.

Those were two cities! Moreover, it was a much bigger city than Jiangyuan City! It actually hit him! Many people felt as if they were in a dream.

After this war, they had wiped out the main forces of the five major forces in one fell swoop and captured two cities. The forces of Jiangyuan City had rapidly expanded, establishing the dominance of Jiangyuan City in this region.

Moreover, Yu Tian City, Leshan City, and Jiang Yuan City were very close together. The three cities formed a defensive circle, and if they joined forces, it would be more difficult for other forces to attack.

Such a defensive system, coupled with experts guarding it, was simply as solid as gold soup. Jiang Yuan City’s general momentum was complete, and it was unshakable.

It could be predicted that the rise of Jiangyuan City was already unstoppable.

“Did you guys know that I saw this with my own eyes? Protector Li Qing slapped the twelve Xiantian experts on the ground with one palm. No one was able to stop him from killing them.”

“I also saw it. I heard that Protector Li Qing has cultivated a body-protecting divine art. He is invulnerable to swords and blades. No matter how powerful an attack or how sharp a sword is, it can’t break through his defense when it hits his body.”

“There is news that he personally attacked the city gates in order to reduce his losses. In the end, he broke the city gates with just a pair of fists!”

“It’s really too powerful. It’s simply a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus rex! I’ve never seen such a powerful young man before!”

The streets and alleys of Jiangyuan City were filled with such discussions, praising and exclaiming at Li Qing. In their discussions, Li Qing had become an invincible existence. As long as he attacked, he could easily sweep through the enemy and dominate the world.

There were even more exaggerated rumors that his punch was enough to collapse a city! Yu Tiancheng and Leshan City were both punched down by him!

All of this was innumerable.

Li Qing’s prestige had already reached its peak in Jiangyuan City, enjoying the admiration of everyone. Although the City Lord wasn’t him, he was now even more prestigious than the City Lord.

…

According to the news, today was City Lord Su’s triumphant return. Many forces in Jiangyuan City stood outside the city, welcoming the return of the heroes.

The large and small clans in the city no longer dared to play tricks on them. They obediently waited outside the city gates. They all looked into the distance in fear, afraid that City Lord Su would find them to settle their scores in the autumn when he returned.

After all, when City Lord Su called for them to send people out to defend the city, they were extremely uncooperative and their resistance was very strong. Basically, they ignored the City Lord’s orders.

There was even a faint alliance formed to resist the Su Clan!

In their expectations at that time, Jiang Yuan City would definitely not be able to resist the attacks of many forces, and would undoubtedly lose. The Su Clan would be annihilated, so their actions at that time were somewhat reckless.

However, who would have thought that the situation would change so drastically? Li Qing emerged from nowhere, sweeping across all forces and winning this war. This result was simply beyond everyone’s expectations.

Right now, it was useless for them to regret it. They could only make up for their mistakes afterwards. They had a respectful attitude and hoped that City Lord Su would not seek revenge on them.

On the distant horizon, smoke and dust slowly rose, and a black line appeared in front of everyone.

“The City Lord is back!” Someone cried out in alarm.

Everyone’s spirits lifted, and they all stretched their necks to look at this group of people from afar.

The surging torrent pushed forward. After a while, this black line had already approached. Everyone could clearly see that it was indeed City Lord Su and Li Qing who had returned.

“Haha, I didn’t expect you to have such a grand occasion to welcome us. I’m really flattered.” From afar, City Lord Su’s loud voice rang out, full of might.

“City Lord! Li Qing!” Everyone began to cheer loudly, and the crowd surged forward to welcome their return.

Rumble!

The earth trembled. City Lord Su brought the thousand warriors behind him and quickly approached. They were like black torrents that emitted a dense aura.

A hundred meters away from the city gate, the black torrent suddenly stopped. Its movements were uniform, and its military discipline was strict.

City Lord Su rode his war horse and walked out. His expression was dignified. He cupped his hands and said loudly, “Thank you all for welcoming us. Everyone, stop standing outside and talk. Let’s go in together.”

The crowd that welcomed them suddenly separated and supported City Lord Su and Li Qing as they entered Jiangyuan City.

City Lord Su continuously raised his hand to greet the crowd and shouted loudly, “Everyone should come to the celebration banquet in the Su Manor tonight!”

“Definitely! Definitely!” The people from the various major powers said one after another.

…

Night fell, and the celebration began. The Su Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and guests came to attend the banquet one after another.

As time passed, the guests gradually came together and entered the Su Clan’s main hall. At this moment, the hall was already filled with neat banquets, and there were many people sitting on them. The atmosphere was very lively.

All the forces in Jiangyuan City were present, and all of them had come here. If anyone didn’t dare to come, it would be giving him no face.

After a while, the main characters of the banquet tonight, City Lord Su and Li Qing, appeared in front of everyone.

City Lord Su raised his head and stepped forward with a dignified aura. He walked to the hall and raised his glass to the crowd. “I won’t say any more nonsense. Come, tonight, I won’t return until I’m drunk!”

“Alright!” Everyone shouted in unison, drinking to their hearts’ content. It was extremely lively.

After a long time, at the height of the banquet, City Lord Su suddenly stretched out his hand and said loudly, “Everyone, quiet down! I have something to say.”

Everyone quieted down and looked at City Lord Su curiously.

“Everyone knows that Li Qing was instrumental in defeating the enemies of the five great forces this time.” City Lord Su’s face was slightly drunk as he said excitedly, “If it weren’t for Li Qing sweeping across many forces and being invincible, Jiang Yuan City would have been doomed today. Therefore, Li Qing should be the first to win this war! Everyone, give him a toast!”

Everyone raised their glasses and paid their respects to Li Qing. This was a reverence for the strong!

Back then, when Li Qing had just become a guardian, there were also people in the Su Clan’s main hall who questioned his strength. Some even mocked City Lord Su for not knowing who he was. They never expected Li Qing to be such a formidable expert who swept through invincibility. It was completely beyond their imagination.

Even in large cities, such a powerful figure was a distinguished guest of those great powers. Moreover, Li Qing was still so young, and his future was limitless. No one dared to offend such a genius.

Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but feel that City Lord Su’s vision was truly brilliant! Smart Eye Sense Pearl.

Li Qing sensed the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd and smiled. He raised his wine glass and returned the greeting with courtesy.

City Lord Su continued, “Li Qing is our Su Clan’s savior! He has already saved our Su Clan time and time again. Everyone knows that not only is he powerful, he is also an alchemist himself!”

“I know that. I’ve heard before that he’s a low-grade alchemist!” Someone said.

“Haha, this brother is wrong! Li Qing is not a low-level alchemist, but a high-level alchemist!” City Lord Su’s powerful voice echoed in the hall.

“What? A high-level alchemist?” Everyone revealed expressions of disbelief.

“How is that possible? Is this still a human? Forget it, even alchemists are high-level! I don’t believe it!”

There was a buzzing discussion in the hall. Many people did not believe that high-level alchemists required not only talent, but also time to practice. Li Qing looked so young, no matter how he looked at it, he did not look like a high-grade alchemist.

One had to know that there had never been a high-level alchemist in Jiangyuan City!

City Lord Su smiled faintly, “I can tell from your expressions that none of you believe it. But think carefully. Recently, many precious pills have been sold in our Su Clan’s shops. Where do you think these pills came from?”

“That’s right, many precious pills have appeared. Could it be refined by Li Qing?”

Everyone thought about it carefully and felt that it was really possible! This was because these pills had never appeared in the Su Clan’s shops before. However, now that they had suddenly appeared, only Li Qing could explain it.

“That’s right, it was refined by Li Qing!” City Lord Su laughed heartily and appeared to be very happy. “There is another thing that everyone knows. My daughter, Su Jingxiang, has been suffering from the lunar meridians since she was young. But now, I can tell everyone that my daughter’s illness has been cured!”

“Incurable lunar disease cured? Could it be…”

City Lord Su nodded, “That’s right, it was Li Qing who cured her! He found a few ancient recipes and secret arts, along with his brilliant pill refining technique, and successfully cured my daughter’s illness! The day of recovery will soon come.”

“He actually cured the lunar meridians?” They had already been shocked too many times and were somewhat numb. However, when they heard the news of City Lord Su, they still had expressions of shock on their faces.

City Lord Su’s face was filled with drunkenness as he loudly said, “How can I let such a young hero off so easily? Today, I want to take advantage of this happy day to announce something.”

Everyone listened quietly.

“During the treatment, my daughter has a good impression of Li Qing. Therefore, I plan to betroth my daughter to Li Qing.”

“Wow!” As City Lord Su’s voice fell, everyone was in an uproar.

Li Qing’s expression was originally very calm, but when he heard this, he immediately opened his mouth wide and was shocked.

“Li Qing, what do you think? Are you willing to marry my daughter?” City Lord Su asked confidently.

Everyone turned to look at Li Qing and waited for his reply.
