The waitresses dressed in qipao were even more pleasing to the eye.
Every one of them was lovely and gentle.
They embodied all the grace and charm of women from the South.
The waitresses were busy placing plates of fruit, red wine, and snacks on the tables.
There was perfect scenery, company, food, and drink.
The island truly became heaven on earth today.
All the guests felt impressed by the sight when they arrived at the island.
"The Lv family has certainly organized quite the party. They are the only people in Jiangbei capable of organizing such an impressive banquet. The Lv family was powerful to begin with. After this party, they will become even more influential. Only a few of the top martial arts families like the Mo and Xiao families can surpass them from now on."
In China, there were two ways for a family to become an elite martial arts clan. The first way was by accumulating 100 years of family history. The second way was to have a grandmaster in their ranks.
Despite the huge population in China, barely ten families met these conditions.
Hence, there were even fewer top tier families.
Most of such families had a member of the family in positions of high power in the martial arts circles.
The Mo family remained influential in the martial arts circles for over a century because of Mo Gu-Cheng.
If Ye Fan's Ye family wanted to become an elite martial arts family, they were still far from it.
After all, they didn't have enough history.
Ye Fan was the only god among them while the rest of them were ordinary folks.
More importantly, Ye Fan wasn't close to the Ye family.
Under such circumstances, the Ye family would never become an elite martial arts clan even in 100 years.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen!"
A waitress stepped forward to courteously welcome Chu Wen-Fei and the others when they got off the boat and showed them to their seats.
"It sure looks exciting. Is someone from the Lv family getting married? Otherwise, why would they have such a huge banquet?” asked Zhang Xin-Yu quizzically as she looked around at the grand event.
"What wedding? We are here to celebrate the birth of a supreme grandmaster. Even War God Castle sent a representative from Yanjing to congratulate the Lv family," said an old man as he shook his head and laughed at how clueless these kids were.
"Are we here to celebrate the birth of a supreme grandmaster?"
"War God Castle?"
"Huh?"
Chu Wen-Fei and the others felt confused. This time, He Yu-Rou was at a loss and didn't know what they were talking about either.
"Don't you know what a supreme grandmaster is? Didn't your master tell you about that before he passed away?" Everyone was instantly shocked.
"Never mind. Let me explain. The best martial artists are called supreme grandmasters. Each one of them is as powerful as a pillar of the nation. A single one of them can fight a million opponents. Since they have the best skills, they possess great power. In all of China, there are only six supreme grandmasters. Now the Lv family head, Lv Song-Liang, has finally risen to its ranks after being stuck at the grandmaster level for years. The Lv family organized this banquet and invited all the heroes throughout the land to celebrate this breakthrough since this is an absolutely momentous event."
"With the birth of each supreme grandmaster, the entire Chinese martial arts circle will share in celebrating the event. Based on tradition, two events will be held. The first one is a celebratory banquet usually held in the supreme grandmaster's hometown. The second event is a more official event that is held at the peak of Mount Yan. Other than the powers in the mundane circles, all the pillars of the nation from War God Castle will be present. All the big shots in the country will turn up. It is also known as the grand ceremony! It is the greatest honor and dream for all martial artists."
