Chapter 187: Tang Yuehua's Invitation.
"Your sword technique is called Tai Chi, right?"
Tang Chen remembered Tang Hao had told him.
Gu Han sheathed his Xuanshuang Sword and bowed. "Yes, this sword technique is Tai Chi."
"Mm, not bad."
Tang Chen regarded Gu Han with admiration. Qian Daoliu was right; this guy truly had his own style, and it seemed even better.
"Speaking of which, what do you think of Yuehua?"
Tang Chen asked tentatively. Tang Yuehua's affection for Gu Han was already known to his closest relatives, though Tang Yuehua herself had thought she had kept it a secret.
Gu Han's performance had recently won Tang Chen's admiration. If this marriage could truly be forged, it would be a truly remarkable achievement.
It would be a truly rewarding experience for the Clear Sky Sect.
"Miss Yuehua is dignified and gentle, and she speaks and acts with a noble demeanor. She's a truly outstanding person," Gu Han said, unconcernedly praising her.
If he were asked to give her an evaluation and started to criticize her, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? But if we're to evaluate objectively, Tang Yuehua, aside from her inability to cultivate, is generally quite good in all other respects.
Tang Chen placed a steady, strong hand on Gu Han's shoulder and said with a smile, "That's perfect. I see Yuehua likes you quite a bit, too. How about I go to the Spirit Hall myself and talk to Qian Daoliu about finding a good date for you two to get married?"
Gu Han's eyes twitched slightly, and he chuckled dryly, "Haha. Senior, you may have misunderstood. Miss Yuehua is certainly very outstanding, but I already have a woman I'm committed to, so let's forget about it."
"You're quite affectionate, boy."
"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment, senior."
Tang Chen clapped his hand on Gu Han's back, causing him to stumble.
"Okay, I won't mess around with you, but Yuehua is completely captivated by you. Do me a favor and clarify things this time."
Gu Han was gasping for air, secretly cursing Tang Chen for his lack of martial ethics, but upon hearing what he had said, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, senior, but let me be clear. I'll just refuse. You guys can handle the coaxing yourself."
Gu Han had warned Tang Yuehua not to be devastated by a single rejection. It would be so unfair if these idiots got so angry they turned on him. So, it was best to make things clear beforehand.
At least, he'd be in the right.
Finally, just when Tang Yuehua thought Gu Han wasn't coming, two figures approached.
Tang Yuehua's eyes lit up, and she quickly straightened her clothes. She called her eldest and second brothers, both of whom were almost asleep, to come forward.
"Brother Gu, Grandpa, how come you two are together?"
Tang Yuehua looked at the two of them in confusion, while Tang Xiao and Tang Hao seemed to be thinking about something.
"Ahem, I stopped little brother Gu and had a sparring match with him."
Tang Chen was kind enough not to let Gu Han explain himself.
"So that's how it is."
Tang Yuehua felt relieved, a bright and dignified smile blooming on her face.
"Grandpa, Brother Gu, everyone is basically here. Please follow me into the pavilion."
"Okay."
Gu Han nodded slightly.
Tang Yuehua smiled and asked, "Brother Gu, why didn't Her Highness the Saint come with us?"
"Senior Sister is in a critical stage of cultivation, so she didn't come."
Gu Han couldn't help but recall the scene of him and Bibi Dong playing with the baby, and lied.
"That's such a shame." That was truly wonderful.
A flicker of delight flashed in Tang Yuehua's eyes. Although she longed to have a proper meeting with the Saint Lady, the fact that she wasn't coming suited her even better; it allowed her to press her advantage.
The three of them followed behind the two of them. Tang Hao whispered, "Grandpa, how is it? Did I lie to you?"
"Brother Hao, Grandpa is invincible. How could he possibly be restrained?" Tang Xiao expressed his confidence in Tang Chen.
Tang Chen's voice was slightly heavy as he said, "If this kid were at the same level as me, I'd be no match for him without preparation."
He wasn't exaggerating. If he hadn't known beforehand that Gu Han had a sword technique that could restrain him, he would have been defeated in a battle of his level.
"How could that be!?"
Tang Xiao was shocked. He couldn't understand. Even if a mere eighteen-year-old, with talent that was undoubtedly the leading talent of their generation, could create a sword technique that could restrain the ultimate skills of a Limit Douluo, he couldn't believe it.
It was too fantastical, and for a moment, Tang Xiao couldn't accept it.
Tang Chen smiled, patted Tang Xiao's shoulder, and reassured him, "Xiao'er, there's no need to be so. Since this kid has developed a sword technique that can counter my own, I can also create a new hammer technique to counter him."
"That's right, I trust Grandpa,"
Tang Xiao heard without a trace of doubt. In his heart, Grandpa was invincible. If Grandpa said he could create it, then he could.
"Yes, big brother is right."
Tang Hao didn't argue with Tang Xiao at this moment. He also believed that with his grandfather's ability, he could definitely create a hammer technique to counter Tai Chi sword technique.
Arriving at the venue, Gu Han greeted Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, then gave a token nod to the nobles who came to curry his favor.
After all, besides his status as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Gu Han was also a First-Class Duke of the Heaven Dou Empire, a position second only to that of a king and emperor, and even, to a certain extent, more respected than that of a king.
Moon Pavilion's opening went smoothly. After Tang Yuehua presided over the opening ceremony, firecrackers and fireworks were set off, marking the official opening of the Moon Pavilion.
Afterwards, elegant events such as banquets and dances were held.
"Brother Gu, would you like to walk with me?"
Tang Yuehua found Gu Han, who was sitting in a corner drinking, and extended an invitation.
Tang Yuehua was clearly dressed to the nines today, clad in a long, purple palace dress. Her features were exquisite, her figure impeccably proportioned, and she was absolutely stunning. Coupled with her unique aura, she was truly a peerless beauty.
Suddenly, a group of gazes turned towards them: Tang Chen, Tang Tian, Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, three generations of grandparents, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, and a few envious and jealous noblemen and young ladies.
Gu Han, sweating profusely, quickly accepted the offer, and he and Tang Yuehua left the venue under everyone's gaze.
It was night, and the moon was high in the sky, dotted with stars, like a beautiful painting.
Behind the Moon Pavilion lay a tranquil garden, serene and serene.
"Brother Gu, my grandfather sparred with you. Did he hurt you?"
Tang Yuehua folded her hands and placed them on her lower abdomen. She took light lotus steps, slightly sideways glancing at Gu Han's profile. With a slight blush on her face, she initiated the conversation.
Gu Han shook his head slightly and smiled, "No, Senior Tang Chen deliberately suppressed his spirit power. However, your hammer technique is amazing, so I'm a bit embarrassed."
"Is that so?"
The two of them walked to the edge of the courtyard pond. Tang Yuehua raised her slender, white fingers and let a firefly land on them.
"Ever since my eldest and second brothers were defeated by Brother Gu, they've been diligently practicing their hammer techniques every day. When grandfather found out, he naturally learned about what happened between you, which is why he tried to test you this time."
Gu Han stared at the full moon reflected in the pond and spoke softly.
"Miss Yuehua, you..."
"Brother Gu, let's not talk about this for now. The moonlight is beautiful today. I've been learning dance recently, and although I'm a little rusty, I still want to invite you to play a piece for me. Is that possible?"
Tang Yuehua took out a long flute from her spirit guide, her eyes filled with anticipation.
