While Bai Yunxiao and Shen Fantian sat in the grand hall of the Bai Clan's Ancestral Residence, they indulged in the rare and exquisite Dragon Vein Wine, a legendary brew said to have been crafted by the Dragon Emperor of Wushui himself.
The wine was a symbol of their status, its rich aroma filling the air as they toasted to the future of their clans. Their conversation, however, was far from casual. They were discussing Xiao Ming's impending marriage, a topic that carried immense weight for both families.
Not long after they sent for him, Xiao Ming appeared, his arrival as swift and silent as a shadow. He entered the hall with a respectful demeanor, his movements deliberate and graceful.
As he approached the two elders, he greeted them with a slight kowtow, his voice steady and courteous.
"Greetings, Uncle Xiao! Greetings, Uncle Tian!" His words were met with approving smiles from both men, who gestured for him to rise.
