Immediately afterwards, the wedding banquet began.
From afar, the banquet hall was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and filled with distinguished guests, creating a festive and lively atmosphere. There were hundreds of tables at the banquet, and the vast expanse of tables was filled with disciples of the sect. Their faces were beaming with happy smiles, giving the impression of celebrating the New Year, where they could simply eat without any worries.
The newlyweds were seated at the same table as Gu Changqing and Jiang Qingcheng. The couple didn't care about their image at the moment and started eating as soon as they sat down because they were so tired and hungry. They hadn't expected there to be so many rules at the wedding, which had exhausted them.
"Don't rush to eat. Today is your special day. Why don't you say a few words to everyone?" Elder Liu said earnestly from the side.
Elder Liu wasn't meddling; he was the person in charge.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm!" Jiang Chen replied naturally as he ate.
Elder Liu then silenced the entire room, and instantly the room became completely silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Jiang Chen stood up and, without any hesitation, said generously to everyone, "Today is my big day, Jiang Chen. Thank you all for coming to support me. I am very happy. Friends and family, please don't be shy, eat and drink well, have a good time and enjoy yourselves."
"Taking this opportunity, I, the chief, would also like to say a few words. To express my blessings to the newlyweds, I have decided that, starting tomorrow, I will pass on my skills to all the disciples of our sect who have not yet received any, so that they can quickly learn them. I hope that you will all contribute to our Qingyun Sect in the future." Gu Changqing suddenly had a whim and spoke with great enthusiasm.
Upon hearing this, the quiet scene instantly became lively. The disciples of the sect were shocked by this unexpected good news. They couldn't help but open their mouths in amazement. They never expected to encounter such a good thing while attending the wedding banquet today. They instantly felt as if they had won a million-dollar lottery. No, it was even more exciting and joyful than winning the lottery, and even more worthy of celebration.
You should know that once someone has received the power from Chief Gu, their cultivation level will skyrocket like a rocket, at an incredibly rapid pace. Every disciple here dreams of becoming a Great Emperor, but they simply lack the strength and opportunity. This is a fantastic opportunity to rise to the top in one step, and everyone wants it, but it's never been their turn.
Now that Chief Gu has spoken, it means that every disciple in the sect can become a Great Emperor. This is absolutely amazing!
The disciples of the sect were not the only ones shocked. Even Jiang Qingcheng, Jiang Chen, and Rongrong were extremely surprised. They even wondered if there was something wrong with their ears and if they had misheard. The reason they were so surprised was that they had never heard of it before.
Jiang Qingcheng, in particular, was completely unaware of the situation, as if it were deliberately kept from her.
The sect disciples were all shouting excitedly, "Chief Gu is mighty! Chief Gu is domineering! Chief Gu is awesome..."
Everyone was filled with passion and excitement, shouting incessantly.
"Everyone, please be quiet. To express our gratitude to Chief Gu, I propose that everyone raise a glass to him for the first toast," Elder Liu said excitedly and inspiringly.
"Good, good, good!" The disciples immediately responded without hesitation, speaking in unison with their most sincere voices.
Then, at Elder Liu's command, the disciples began their enjoyable feast.
"Husband, why did you suddenly make this decision? It's so unexpected. How come we never heard you mention it before?" Jiang Qingcheng asked curiously while eating the banquet, slightly taken aback.
"It's good that you don't know. This was a last-minute decision by my husband, so apart from me, none of you knew beforehand. The reason I made this decision is twofold: first, to add luster to Jiang Chen's wedding banquet and make him even more prestigious; second, to prepare for the future of the Six Great Demonic Sects. Think about it, if all the disciples of our sect become Great Emperor-level experts, when the Six Great Demonic Sects really attack, none of us will need to fear them. We can easily beat them to a pulp without me even having to lift a finger. Wouldn't that be better?" Gu Changqing smiled slightly and patiently explained his reasons for doing so.
"Husband, what you did was excellent. This indirectly brings good fortune to the newlyweds. Everyone will remember your kindness. I am so proud of you, husband," Jiang Qingcheng said with a beaming smile, praising him endlessly.
"It's rare to find someone like Chief Gu with such thoughtfulness. It's truly touching. Even the Sect Master hasn't considered the disciples this much, but you have done it. I admire you!" Elder Liu praised with great satisfaction.
He personally had a pretty good impression of Gu Changqing. He was tall and handsome, with incredibly powerful cultivation. He was decisive and efficient in his actions, possessed great energy and ability, and was also responsible. Apart from being a bit hot-blooded, he was almost perfect.
“That makes sense. Brother-in-law, your gift is wonderful! I love it. You not only added a lot of joy to my wedding, but also benefited the disciples of the sect. This is fantastic! You’re so kind, brother-in-law!” Jiang Chen said happily in agreement.
"Today is truly a wonderful day, a double celebration!" Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile and an excited expression.
"Alright, alright, stop praising me. Your chatter is disturbing my meal. Stop talking and hurry up and eat," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, somewhat helplessly.
All the disciples of the sect ate with great relish, especially those who usually lived in poor conditions. They ate with great gusto, their speed of eating was astounding. The reason they ate like this was because they usually ate very ordinary, simple meals and rarely changed their diet. Today's wedding banquet had such a rich variety of dishes, with a wide variety of meats and vegetables, hot and cold dishes, and all kinds of delicacies. There was also fine wine and countless other dishes, dazzling the eyes and making mouths water. There was so much food that it was impossible to finish it all.
Before long, the sect's disciples had eaten and drunk their fill. Some of them, who had a low alcohol tolerance, were already completely drunk, and some had even started sleeping and snoring.
Although Gu Changqing had also drunk alcohol, he was not drunk at all and remained very sober. Looking at Jiang Qingcheng, her cheeks were flushed red from the alcohol, making her look quite different.
Jiang Chen and Rongrong were perfectly fine, because they hadn't drunk any alcohol and had only focused on eating; their bellies were already quite full.
