Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1216: Lin Shuai’s Wedding

Panda Novel

The Chen Clan was situated in the Cloud Prefecture and was considered a top-tier clan. Although it wasn't a major power, it still had the backing of an immortal king expert so the matter of its survival had never been an issue.

With regards to immortal king characters, the clan would obviously think twice before offending them. If one wanted to establish a clan or sect in the immortal realms, they had to be immensely cautious, especially in a place like the Cloud Prefecture.

Today was the wedding day of the Chen Clan's young miss and the surrounding atmosphere was extremely lively, with many guests arriving one after another. These guests were all close friends of the Chen Clan. They had had spent many years establishing their foundations in the Cloud Prefecture and had the added affiliation of marriage with people from the clan, allowing them to integrate fully into the Cloud Prefecture.

"Congratulations to Little Yi." The atmosphere was truly bustling. Greater demonic mounts soared through the air, and there were snow-white ice lion kings, winged tigers, violent gigantic hawks, and more carrying the guests over.

"Elder Brother, congratulations." A young man walked over with a smile.

"Huo Yan, why are you acting so polite with me? Hurry and go inside with Xue`er." The young man in charge of receiving the guests shook his head with a smile. The newly arrived pair was none other than his younger sister and brother-in-law. It would set his heart at ease if his youngest sister Little Yi could find a husband as outstanding as Huo Yan. After all, the Huo Clan was a clan that was of equal standing with the Chen Clan.

To ordinary people, a clan was considered a top-tier clan so long as they produced many immortal-foundation experts. After all, immortal kings were all marquises or lords of an area, and their existences were too lofty for ordinary people to come into close contact with.

As more and more guests arrived, Huo Yan glanced at his wife Chen Xue and asked, "Today is Little Yi's grand wedding day, but why does your elder brother seem a little unhappy?"

"Don't you already know the answer?" Chen Xue glared at Huo Yan as she retorted. "My father and the elders of my clan disapproved of this marriage. However, they failed to dissuade Little Yi in the end. My younger sister has outstanding talent and there's a very high chance that she'll step into the immortal-foundation realm in the future. The one she fell in love with might have some decent talent, but he lacks a significant background. And if that's the case, how can he hold his head up high in the immortal realms in the future? Why else would the wedding be held in my clan?"

"If this Lin Shuai had a background equivalent to the Huo Clan, the matter wouldn't have ended up like this." Chen Xue shook her head. Huo Yan, who was by the side, had a faint look of pride in his eyes as a sense of superiority appeared in his heart. The silhouette of an extremely beautiful maiden appeared in his mind—it was none other than Chen Yi, the younger sister of his wife Chen Xue.

His wife's younger sister was someone even more beautiful compared to his wife. What a pity that she was about to be married away today.

The atmosphere in the Chen Clan was lively but many guests felt derision in their hearts. The daughter of the Chen Clan was about to be married off, yet the location of the wedding was being held at the Chen Clan? How interesting was that?

Qin Wentian and his group descended from the air right before reaching the boundary of the Chen Clan. After all, this was the grand wedding of their senior brother Lin Shuai and they had to take note of their manners. If they were to fly directly into the Chen Clan, their actions might be taken as a sign of disrespect.

But because there were simply too many guests in the air, nobody paid much attention to Qin Wentian and his group. It wasn't until they entered the Chen Clan and had caught the attention of Chen Yi's elder brother, Chen Ao, before Qin Wentian asked with a smile, "And who might your group be?"

"We are from Lin Shuai's sect, and we've come to offer our congratulations. I'm his master," Sword Sovereign Lingtian introduced. Chen Ao glanced at him, and saw that Lin Shuai's master had no hint of immortal energy radiating from him. To think that Lin Shuai's master was merely at the level of an ascendant… Chen Ao couldn't help but feel immensely disappointed.

"Uncle Fang, welcome." Chen Ao walked right past Sword Sovereign Lingtian, choosing to ignore him as he went to welcome another group of people. Sword Sovereign Lingtian's expression turned unsightly, and he felt extremely displeased in his heart. Today was the grand wedding day of his personal disciple Lin Shuai. To think that the people of the Chen Clan would actually show him such an attitude?

The Battle Sword Sect's old ancestor came over and patted his shoulder, "Today, we are here as guests. Let's just go in first."

Everyone stepped into the Chen Clan. Qin Wentian, Mo Qingcheng, and the others walked at the back of the crowd to remain inconspicuous. Qin Wentian started to frown as he shook his head. As expected, this situation was something he didn't wish to see, but he understood that it was only to be expected.

Naturally, as long as his senior brother Lin Shuai didn't mind it, he wouldn't respond to their offensive behavior. His purpose here today was purely to offer his congratulations.

At the location of the banquet, the Chen Clan had designated enough seats to accomodate several thousand people. The guests were all chatting happily in a festive manner as servants served delicious appetizers for the guests to try.

Qin Wentian and his group gathered at a remote location where they chose to stay quiet and kept a low-profile. However in no time at all, their group soon caused a commotion.

The cause of this commotion wasn't due to Qin Wentian or the Battle Sword Sect. It was simply because the females in their group were just too beautiful. Especially Mo Qingcheng, who was as dazzling and eye-catching as a radiant sun, even when she was just standing in the crowd. Purgatory, Qin Yao, Luo Huan, and Lou Bingyu, although their looks were slightly inferior to Mo Qingcheng, but all of them could still be considered extraordinary beauties, causing the guests to stare admiringly at them.

"Who are these people?" Huo Yan lifted his wine cup but his eyes were fixated on Mo Qingcheng as he questioned Chen Xue who was standing beside him.

"Not sure." Chen Xue frowned. At this moment, there was someone already walking towards Qin Wentian and his group. The person who walked over laughed and asked, "Uncle Chen, why don't you introduce these guests to us?"

A middle-aged man as well as some elders turned to look at them. But right then, Lin Shuai suddenly appeared. He walked to the front of the crowd and bowed. "Old Ancestor and Master are already here. Your disciple was tardy in receiving your esteemed selves, please pardon my actions."

"Lin Shuai, today is your big day. There's no need to greet us." The old ancestor of the Battle Sword Sect smiled.

"Lin Shuai's wife, Chen Yi, pays her respects to the elders." The woman beside Lin Shuai was clad in a red-colored wedding phoenix robe, exuding an air of elegance as she greeted them.

"Good. Lin Shuai, make sure to take good care of Little Yi in the future." The old ancestor nodded happily.

"Senior Brother, congratulations." The disciples of the Battle Sword Sect all congratulated Lin Shuai with smiles on their faces. Qin Wentian walked forth while holding Mo Qingcheng's hands and laughed. "Senior Brother Lin, you wouldn't mind this junior apprentice brother coming here to drink a cup of your wedding liquor, right?"

"Junior Brother Qin, you've actually returned! Of course, I'm happy to see you and Qingcheng here." Lin Shuai had a sincere smile on his face. In the past, it was he who inducted Qin Wentian into the Battle Sword Sect. During the battle against the Great Shang Dynasty, Qin Wentian had already displayed his extraordinary talent. But at that time, Lin Shuai would have never imagined the achievements Qin Wentian had earned today.

Cultivation was like this. The further you go, the easier it would be to see the disparity between geniuses. For example, of the eight era-suppressing geniuses from back then, currently seven of them were no longer on the same level.

Chen Yi's beautiful eyes stared in astonishment at Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng. Even though they hadn't released their auras, the couple seemed to exude a unique air that clearly revealed their extraordinary status. Even Purgatory, who was standing behind Lin Shuai's junior apprentice brother, seemed to have a distinctive beauty.

"The last time we met was many years ago. To think that the first thing I would do once I returned, was to rush over and congratulate Senior Brother on your marriage. Hence, no matter what important things I may have, I would naturally set them aside." Qin Wentian laughed. He then continued in a more serious tone, "Senior Brother, you have to know that no matter what, I will always be your junior apprentice brother."

"Mhm." Chen Yi didn't understand why Qin Wentian would add that last sentence, but how could Lin Shuai not understand? Right now, the difference in strength between them was extremely far apart, so Chen Yi must feel uncomfortable calling Qin Wentian his junior apprentice brother. Qin Wentian was telling him that no matter what, he didn't want them to drift apart. He wanted to interact like they had in the past, as if they were one close family.

"Lin Shuai, Little Yi. Both of you can go and entertain the other guests, we can take care of ourselves here." The old ancestor of the Battle Sword Sect smiled. Lin Shuai nodded his head. His sect members were truly considerate and would always keep his difficulties in mind.

"Little Yi." Chen Xue and Huo Yan walked over.

"Sister, Brother-in-Law," Chen Yi greeted the pair.

"Mhm, Little Yi, go deal with your own matters. I will take care of your guests for you."

"Okay." Chen Yi lightly nodded. She then left together with Lin Shuai to interact with the guests.

Chen Xue glanced at her younger sister and shook her head. "Little Yi is still ignorant. You're all Lin Shuai's elders, why didn't you try to persuade him to break up with my younger sister? Since he belongs to a sect, why is the wedding still held at my clan? Don't you all feel that this is a little shameful for Lin Shuai?"

"This is Lin Shuai's decision, so we will naturally respect it." Sword Sovereign Lingtian didn't seem to be in a good mood today, but because this was the wedding of his disciple, he had no choice but to continue enduring such remarks.

"Do you not know what's best for Little Yi? Why haven't you urged him to break up with her yet?" Chen Xue's voice lowered as unhappiness appeared on her face.

"Lin Shuai and Little Yi are both mutually in love. Since you are Little Yi's elder sister, how can you say such a thing?" Ye Lingshuang unhappily rebutted.

"Chen Xue is right. If Lin Shuai becomes her man, how can Little Yi raise her head up high in the future? He has no status after all. But of course, if those beauties in your group wished to marry someone from an outstanding clan, I do have some recommendations. There would no longer be a need to worry in the future with regards to your livelihood." Huo Yan also spoke in a low voice. His eyes darted over, glancing at Mo Qingcheng and the other beauties. These women were truly excellent specimens.

"Are you not also a cultivator at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm? What do you mean by saying that Little Yi won't be able to raise her head up high in the future? Those who aren't in the know might even assume you're extremely powerful." Qin Wentian looked askance at Huo Yan, keeping his voice low as well. He didn't want to disrupt today's festivities.

However, everyone here was a stellar martial cultivator. Despite their low numbers, it was natural for them to attract attention. Even Lin Shuai seemed to have sensed that something was wrong.

"Your words are truly amusing," Huo Yan replied. After that, Lin Shuai and Chen Yi walked over and Lin Shuai couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Huo Yan turned around with a smile on his face. He then continued, "I was just asking the beautiful maidens in your sect if they would like me to play matchmaker. I'm sure there are many fine young men among the guests today."

Although he spoke in a joking manner, Qin Wentian's group all looked highly offended. If both parties had a good relationship, they would naturally laugh off his words. But right now, his words contained a hint of contempt towards the maidens in Qin Wentian's group.

However, the others in the crowd didn't feel the same. The Chen Clan's new son-in-law actually originated from such a weak sect. Hence, they felt that there was nothing wrong with Huo Yan's words. In fact, it sounded like he was bestowing a great honor to the maidens instead.

Hence, many people revealed expressions of interest on their faces!
