I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 1544: What You Drink Is the Flavor

Days passed by like this, quiet and peaceful.

After his duel with Situ Fang, Cang Sheng gradually gained the approval of everyone in the Situ family.

After all, Situ Fang was several years older than Cang Sheng.

During the match, everyone had seen the scene where Cang Sheng closed his eyes and relied purely on his perception to dodge attacks.

They also witnessed his mid-battle enlightenment and breakthrough, making them realize that despite his humble background, Cang Sheng was a rare genius of the sword.

Not only that, but standing behind Cang Sheng was the unfathomably wealthy Yi Feng.

When he gave away precious treasures, it was as casual as throwing away trash.

Those weapons and cultivation techniques were truly of immense benefit to the Situ family.

In fact, the most important factor was the attitude of the family head, Situ Taili, toward Cang Sheng.

Although Situ Taili didn't say much, he had already arranged for the clansmen to handle the wedding preparations for his daughter and Cang Sheng.

This was support through action.

Though he never explicitly stated it, everyone could tell that Situ Taili was very satisfied with this son-in-law.

Cang Sheng felt a bit intimidated by Situ Taili.

This was the psychological pressure of being a son-in-law, feeling somewhat like a thief.

After raising his daughter for over a decade, having her suddenly snatched away surely left Situ Taili feeling uncomfortable as a father.

But what could be done about it? It was natural for young men and women to marry when they came of age.

Moreover, Cang Sheng was indeed exceptionally outstanding.

On this day.

Situ Qingyi brought Cang Sheng to serve tea to her father.

This wasn't the formal tea ceremony to change how he addressed him, but rather a routine greeting meant to bring the two closest men in her life closer together.

Interactions between elders and the younger generation heavily emphasized form and etiquette.

Under Situ Qingyi's coaching, Cang Sheng was incredibly respectful and reverent toward his future father-in-law.

Being somewhat clumsy with words and nervous, he silently recited several idioms to praise his father-in-law.

For example: transcendent bearing, majestic and awe-inspiring, immovable as a mountain...

Situ Taili was left speechless, nearly spitting a mouthful of hot tea right into the young pup's face.

But seeing his terrified and reverent expression, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

Thinking back to those years, when Situ Taili interacted with his own father-in-law, he hadn't been much better than Cang Sheng was now.

Situ Taili set down his teacup, suppressing his various emotions.

He said calmly, Alright, go prepare for the wedding. If you need anything, just look for the butler. By the way, Cang Sheng, did Mr. Yi Feng come to the manor with you today?

Since Cang Sheng was now part of the family, and knowing Yi Feng's extraordinary background, Situ Taili naturally changed his form of address.

Big Brother Yi Feng is here, Cang Sheng replied.

Situ Taili nodded slightly, Good, I happen to have something to discuss with Mr. Yi.

With that, the young couple led the father, the three of them weaving through corridors and courtyards in search of Yi Feng.

Along the way, the Situ Manor was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, arranged in a very festive manner.

The pillars and windows were plastered with large, red Double Happiness characters.

Red lanterns hung from the corridors and door frames.

The entire Situ Manor was brimming with a joyous atmosphere, and brilliant smiles hung on everyone's faces.

The children held a few candies in their hands, more or less.

They chased and played throughout the manor, liven up the mood.

Normally, the Situ family's discipline was extremely strict, so these children had been feeling quite stifled.

They had finally found an excuse to indulge in play around the manor.

But whenever they saw Situ Taili pass by.

They would all stand to the side, lowering their heads without daring to make a sound, terrified of being scolded by the family head.

Situ Taili merely glanced at them expressionlessly and said nothing.

Being solemn and projecting an aura of natural authority was the demeanor he ought to possess as the family head.

But now, with a joyous occasion approaching, he also wanted to let the family's youth relax and celebrate.

After all, keeping one's heartstrings wound too tight wasn't a good thing; balancing work and rest yields twice the result with half the effort.

After the family head left, seeing that they hadn't been scolded, the children were both surprised and delighted, and resumed their wild play.

Giggles rang out, the gentle breeze caressed the red silk fabrics, and the entire Situ Manor was immersed in festivity and peace.

Situ Taili and the other two soon found Yi Feng in the front courtyard.

Yi Feng was still dressed in white, calmly sitting on a stone stool drinking tea, occasionally inspecting the manor's decorations.

How could Situ Taili not know? Although Yi Feng looked indifferent and breezy.

He actually cared deeply about the manor's arrangements, merely pretending to be nonchalant on the surface.

It was evident that Cang Sheng held a very important place in Yi Feng's heart.

Situ Taili had asked his daughter about Yi Feng's origins.

Upon learning that Yi Feng had merely shared a carriage ride to Hua City and later stayed at Cang Sheng's home.

Situ Taili felt this chance encounter seemed a bit too deliberate.

This kind of care from a senior toward a junior didn't seem like a random encounter; it felt more intentional.

The words Yi Feng had spoken earlier when he came to propose marriage also made Situ Taili feel that Yi Feng must be an elder who knew Cang Sheng's family.

Regarding all this, Situ Taili felt it was enough to just keep it in mind, and he didn't tactlessly question Yi Feng.

Who didn't have a few unknown secrets?

Not to mention, Yi Feng looked extraordinary at first glance.

Situ Taili cupped his hands in greeting to Yi Feng and sat down beside him.

Yi Feng gave him a slight nod in acknowledgment.

The young couple was about to leave, but Situ Taili called them back.

Stay for a moment.

Alright.

So, the young couple stood respectfully to the side.

Mr. Yi, you should be very clear about Cang Sheng's background. Marriage is a major event; since ancient times, it has been dictated by the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. I boldly ask you to act as Cang Sheng's elder and officiate the wedding for this couple.

The young couple nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement with what Situ Taili said.

Cang Sheng looked at Yi Feng with expectant eyes and a pleading expression.

Yi Feng glanced at the young couple, a smile appearing on his face, feeling gratified in his heart.

Naturally, that's not a problem.

Cang Sheng and his fiancee bloomed with joy.

In their eyes, without Big Brother Yi Feng, there was a high probability they wouldn't have been able to be together, let alone get married.

They were deeply grateful to Yi Feng from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially Cang Sheng.

Big Brother Yi Feng not only gave him gold coins, guided him, and enlightened him, but also backed him up.

Although he called him Big Brother Yi Feng, in his heart, he had long regarded Yi Feng as a father figure.

Situ Taili smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Although his thoughts weren't entirely pure, it was also for the sake of the young couple.

After all, if Yi Feng acted as the wedding witness, it meant that Yi Feng would look after this young couple in the future.

Having an unfathomably wealthy big shot like Yi Feng as a backer made Situ Taili feel that the burden on his shoulders had instantly lightened significantly.

The Situ Manor's requirements for the wedding preparations were extremely high; they wanted everything to be absolutely perfect.

Therefore, the preparation period took a bit longer.

During this time, Yi Feng remained the same as always.

Every day before dawn, he would sit early by the stone table in the small courtyard, guiding Cang Sheng in his sword practice.

Afterward, he would go to the market to buy groceries and cook some of Cang Sheng's favorite dishes.

The only difference was that there would be an extra set of bowls and chopsticks for lunch and dinner.

The not-yet-married Situ Qingyi would come over every day to freeload meals.

Situ Qingyi was full of praise for Big Brother Yi Feng's culinary skills.

Their Situ family had specialized chefs, after all.

But not only did their dishes look inferior to Big Brother Yi Feng's, there was also a massive gap in taste and variety.

This made Situ Qingyi somewhat resentful toward her own chef, and she increasingly felt that Big Brother Yi Feng's culinary skills were astonishing.

As the saying goes, return a favor with a favor.

Upon learning that Big Brother Yi Feng liked to drink, Situ Qingyi brought over many fine wines from the Situ Estate.

Among them was even the Nu'er Hong that her father had buried underground for nearly twenty years.

This made Situ Taili feel a pang of heartache.

But knowing it was for Yi Feng to drink, he didn't say much.

Situ Taili only felt that the old saying made perfect sense: a married daughter is like spilled water.

She hadn't even married into the family yet, and she was already constantly sending things to Cang Sheng's house all day long.

It was a kind of helpless happiness.

Yi Feng was not polite. This twenty-year-old Nu'er Hong was smooth on the palate, rich in aroma, and had a lingering aftertaste. It was a rare fine wine. Perhaps it couldn't compare to many of the wines he had drunk before, but what mattered was its flavor!

"Good wine!"

"As long as Big Brother Yi Feng likes it. When you finish, I'll bring some more over for you."

"Alright."

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Yi Feng looked at Cang Sheng.

"I plan to go out for a trip and will be back in a few days. Cang Sheng, practice your sword well on your own. Don't slack off just because I'm not here to supervise."

"Don't worry, Big Brother Yi Feng. But our wedding is in ten days. Where are you going, and will you make it back in time?" Cang Sheng asked with concern.

Yi Feng smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, I'll make it back in time."

After speaking, Yi Feng stood up, ready to leave.

He suddenly thought of something, paused his steps, and said, "Right, give me a few copies of your wedding invitations."

Situ Qingyi immediately fetched a few written invitations and respectfully handed them to Yi Feng.

After a simple farewell, Yi Feng took the fine wine, strolled out of the small courtyard, and disappeared into the long streets of Hua City...
