"Are young girls these days so hard to fool?"
Jiang Yuan, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, strolled leisurely along the main road of Tianshan City. Looking at the bustling crowd, he felt as if he had returned to the years before the cataclysm, a time that was ordinary yet peaceful, without much bloodshed or conflict.
On the day the firecrackers and drums resounded in the east of the mountain city, Jiang Yuan leisurely landed on a building with a wide enough view, and then used his superhuman eyesight to watch every move of the wedding.
Because it was a marriage between the groom and his wife, most people in Tianshan City focused their attention on the entrance of Qiyanfang, where this wedding, known throughout the city, would conclude at the Yan family.
The wedding proceeded smoothly. The groom, who was to marry into the Yan family, arrived at the Yan family home. The Yan family did not impose any of their customs that made things difficult for the groom. Instead, they made concessions and allowed the groom to visit them openly and generously.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the joyous occasion of my eldest daughter's wedding. Please enjoy your meal and drinks, and don't stand on ceremony with the Yan family!"
A middle-aged man who looked to be only in his early fifties was beaming with joy. For a father, being able to raise his daughter for a lifetime is undoubtedly a source of happiness.
"Jingyu, my Yan family doesn't have that many rules, but you should know one thing: if you dare to betray my Yixuan, I will make you pay a heavy price!" Yan Xuehai said with a stern face, not joking at all.
The groom immediately raised his hand and vowed, "Father-in-law, I will definitely treat Xuan'er well and will never let her suffer any injustice!"
"As long as you treat Yixuan well, you will definitely have a place in Qiyanfang in the future!" Yan Xuehai also made a promise without hesitation, immediately giving Jingyu a future that he could strive for.
"Father, your son-in-law respects you!"
Jingyu, holding the wine pot and cup, respectfully filled Yan Xuehai's cup with wine.
"Alright, from now on I, Yan Xuehai, will definitely treat you as my own son!" Yan Xuehai laughed and downed his drink.
No one was particularly wary on this festive day, so they naturally overlooked Jingyu's way of pouring wine, and he kept toasting people with a smile on his face.
"The Shen family of Tianshan City presents a congratulatory gift!"
"The Shen family of Tianshan City possesses ten bottles of low-grade spirit-level pills, one hundred prescriptions of low-grade spirit-level minerals, and one high-grade spirit-level Heavenly Flame Magpie chick!"
"The Lu Yue Pavilion of Tianshan City presents a congratulatory gift!"
"The Lu Yue Pavilion in Tianshan City has eight bottles of mid-grade spirit-level pills, eight mid-grade spirit-level skills, and eight mid-grade spirit-level battle pets."
...
Gifts kept arriving from various powerful figures, and the Yan family's residence became a bustling place, with people coming to offer congratulations and petition.
"My Yan family is deeply grateful for your kindness. In the future, in this Tianshan City, my Qiyanfang will surely become the first-class partner of today's guests!" Yan Xuehai said with a hearty laugh.
His Seven Colors Workshop itself is extremely powerful, and because it mainly focuses on forging, many forces are eager to cooperate with it. Now is the perfect time to unite these forces.
"We will follow the lead of Patriarch Yan in everything!"
The leaders of the various factions who came to deliver gifts were overjoyed to hear this, but their joy was short-lived. Several discordant voices rang out from outside the Yan family's gate.
"I heard today was supposed to be a daughter's wedding for the Yan family, but it seems like they're actually taking in a wife!"
The door was pushed open, and several burly men dressed in ferret furs walked in.
"Snow Leopard, what are you doing here!" Yan Xuehai's expression was not good. If Seven Colors Workshop was doing business properly, then the mercenary group was a bit dishonest. They would do anything as long as they were paid, so he didn't particularly like dealing with this group of bandits and thugs.
"What, you allow others to send congratulatory gifts, but you forbid us Snow Leopards from coming? Or is it that your Seven Colors Pavilion looks down on us Snow Leopards so much!" Sang Jin, the leader of the Snow Leopard Gang, said with a sneer.
"Father!"
Yan Yixuan, dressed in a red ancient costume, came out and sent a telepathic message to her father: "Today is about my marriage, so let's not ruin the harmony!"
Yan Xuehai took a deep breath and said kindly, "Guests are always welcome. Whether you're here to give gifts or not, please take a seat!"
Upon hearing this, Sang Jin's lips curled up, and seeing this, the others rudely pushed aside those around them and sat down at the wedding banquet.
"Since I, Snow Leopard, am here, I won't skimp on your wedding gifts!" Sang Jin clapped his hands and shouted, "Come on, prepare a wedding gift for Miss Yan!"
"The Snow Leopard Mercenary Group presents a congratulatory gift!"
"Snow Leopard Mercenary Group, Spirit..."
The person standing at the door reading out the congratulatory gifts was clearly taken aback, but after seeing Yan Xuehai's signal, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue reading, "444 bottles of low-grade spirit-level pills, 444 pieces of low-grade spirit-level animal hides, and 444 bottles of low-grade spirit-level animal blood."
"Damn it!" Yan Xuehai immediately prepared to draw his sword. On someone's wedding day, you not only sent such a despicable pill as Desire Spring Powder, but also in quantities of four, four, four. Isn't that an omen of death? Not only that, whether it's animal hide or animal blood, these things are inherently bloody. What are you trying to do by sending these on someone's joyous occasion?
"Father!"
Yan Yixuan placed her hand on Yan Xuehai's hand and forced a smile, saying, "Forget it, let's not argue with them today!"
"But look at what they're doing! Is that how a human being behaves?!" Yan Xuehai gritted his teeth, his expression full of anger.
Yan Yixuan glanced down at the audience and suddenly spotted Gu Anlei, whom she had met once before.
"Why is she here?" Yan Yixuan wondered to herself. She subconsciously glanced around, but did not see the man who looked so much like her ex-boyfriend from a while ago.
"Oh ho, who's using such low tactics, sending out these inhuman gifts!"
Almost as soon as the doorman called out, another group of people arrived.
"It's from the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce!" Yan Xuehai was secretly delighted when he saw the newcomer. If the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce wanted to move into Tianshan City, they would have to cultivate a good relationship with their Qiyanfang.
