"We're also celebrating the return of the previous clan leader, who happens to be my father. He has been away from home for years" Lu Yi introduced to the people as he bowed towards his father who was interacting with Lu Shang.
Lu Mang hearing his name being mentioned stood up and then waved at the crowd. "Thanks for making it here, especially on this occasion. I can see you all are doing well" He said before sitting down on his chair that had been occupied by him.
The reaction of the crowd toward Lu Mang was the opposite of what the people showed to Lu Shang. The people could only clap and applaud him because they all knew the character of this man who had been away from his clan for years even before leaving his clan, his name had already spread around the Gaoliang District as one of the strongest clan leaders of his time.
After some time of the crowd applauding and discussing the things that had been accomplished by Lu Mang before he disappeared from the clan, the hall turned silent once more waiting for the next activity.
"Now we will move to the proper celebration. Let's celebrate and enjoy ourselves to our full with the delicious delicacies that had been prepared by the chefs of our clan"
That was the final standing of Lu Yi before waving at the maids to bring in the packages, he sat down after that.
It didn't take 2 minutes when the maids and guards started to roll in large tables covered with a big and long white cloth into the great hall.
Soon, all the tables were rolled into the hall and pushed to a corner. The tables were numbered into several tens making the eyes of most of the people sitting in the hall flicker with the urge to try out these delicacies presented before them, since it was the Lu Clan then the foods prepared were going to be interesting.
The maids carefully move away the white cloth used to cover the table.
People's eyes glowed upon seeing these long tables neatly laid out with all kinds of food and wine. Just the sweet fragrance being emitted out of the food was enough to even tempt them to try it out. Even some people who never had thought to taste this food were now interested.
"Everyone can eat or drink as much as they want till you're satisfied. Let the celebration begin," Lu Yi spoke from where he sat.
The people who were in charge of the entertainment, without being told what to do. A cool and slow music started to boom around the hall, supplying the hall with booming energy all around.
Lu Shang silently observed the behavior of everyone in the hall, people were already starting to serve themselves while some only took a glass cup already filled with wine.
Some people have already started to move to the center of the hall which was free and big enough for dancing.
Most men and women in the hall held each other's hands as they moved their bodies to the rhythm of slow-motion music.
Even some of the young cultivators in the hall had started to dance with each other, it's not surprising that a young boy and girl were dancing together. It was normal for a guy to ask a girl for a dance.
Soon the dance stage was filled with people who were enjoying the cool music. They silently applauded the people in charge of entertaining them with such good music.
Lu Shang could see that people were forming a couple as they took over the stage, displaying the slow step dance.
Of course, most of them were married or engaged couples, but some of them seemed as if they were randomly choosing a partner simply to dance with and have fun.
Lu Shang slapped his forehead as he formed himself to swallow back the laughter that was trying to force its way out of his throat. 'Gosh…. Is this how they do dance here in this world.. Too boring for my liking' he silently said to him.
Lu Shang was immersed in his thoughts when he felt a light tap on his shoulder, he snapped out of his thoughts and turned to see the funny look on the face of his grandfather.
"Why is Grandfather looking at me in such a way?" Lu Shang asked as he too stared back at his granddad.
"Heh heh, I can see that look on your face. You must be enjoying yourself seeing people move to the rhyme of the music. Why don't you go and find a partner to dance with?" Lu Mang teases him.
Lu Shang couldn't stop the laughter that he had been trying to hold back. He laughed before controlling himself to stop after some seconds.
Lu Mang seeing Lu Shang laugh out in such a manner, couldn't help but wonder how amazing Lu Shang was to break out into laughter.
"Yh, granddad am enjoying the scene but I'm not interested in the dance. What I am interested in is the food," Lu Shang stood up from his chair and he found his way to the large table containing the food and wines.
Lu Mang stared at the back view of Lu Shang as he found his way to the food area. He recover after as he couldn't longer see the figure of Lu Shang as he mix into the crowd in the hall, "Hahahaha, such an interesting fellow… not a bad seedling,"
Lu Shang was still familiarizing himself with this world, he still didn't understand something. This was the first biggest celebration that he had experienced since when he found himself in this world.
Though he had spent a year and some months in this world, for most of the time he had reincarnated here, for a full year he had been unconscious. The celebration of this world wasn't bad but when compared to the ones on earth, the celebration back on earth was too grander than this.
The way these people were slow dancing seemed similar to how people would dance in fancy balls by simply holding hands. It was formal and slow yet elegant but when compared to Earth, these steps were too boring to be called dance.
'This world seems like an ancient world, so what should I be expecting? They don't know a good dance step' he thought to himself as he fixed his eyes on the different foods and wines on the large table.
He could feel the glance of people on him as he found his way to the large tables where the food was kept.
40% of the girls in the hall were staring at his face as if they wanted to eat him up. They couldn't take their eyes off him. To them, Lu Shang was too handsome for their liking, especially the ice-blue balls of his.
He could only laugh within himself seeing the way people stare at him, he knew that they were confused and surprised that he was going towards the food area but as for the gaze of the girls he was shy to look in their direction.
Just as he was a few steps away from the table, he discovered a girl standing in front of him, blocking his path.
"You don't seem to be interested in the dance despite the fact that your appearance can make a girl tremble on her knee,"
