The 28th day of the second lunar month is one of the few auspicious days in the short term.
On this day, countless powerful people gathered at the Lie family in Shu City just to celebrate the wedding of Lie Feng, the youngest son of the head of the Lie family.
Of course, the one who married Liefeng was Lu Linger, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, who also came from a reclusive family.
The combination of the two represented the official merger of the Shu and Jiang families into a larger cultivation system.
"Hey, Brother Liequan! Brother Lu Ao, congratulations! From now on, you are the strongest in the southwest of Dragon Country!"
"Yes, yes! The two family heads have joined forces. Even the Dragon Country officials will be wary! It's a pity that our vitality is weak and we can't act in the outside world. Otherwise..."
"Hey! Brother Sun Jin, you better be careful with your words and actions. Although we are secluded from the world, the current officials are also not vegetarians. If we really provoke them, hehe, I'm afraid we will all be beaten to death!"
"This is just a joke, a joke."
Early in the morning, the two heads of the family, Lie Quan and Lu Ao, gathered in the main hall of the Lie family to welcome the guests to the wedding banquet.
In addition to other hidden families that are on good terms with them, there are also many external independent cultivators who come and go.
Unlike the secluded families who could afford to live in a small barrier with a spirit-gathering formation, they were all foundation-building cultivators who had occupied a cave dwelling that possessed the essence of heaven and earth.
If it were normal times, they would never give up their own caves to visit either of Lu Lie's families, but when the two merged, their strength increased greatly.
They had no choice but to come here to offer gifts and express their attitudes.
As more and more people came to visit, the smiles on Lu Lie and the other man's faces became brighter and brighter.
The one who just spoke was the Golden Snake Monster from the deep mountains of Shu, and the Sun Jin behind him was the Jade-faced Young Man from the Jiangcheng Canyon.
Both of them are in the late Jindan stage and are extremely powerful. If the two families had not joined forces, no one would have been able to get their favorable treatment.
As we were happy, the sun gradually rose above our heads.
According to ancient rituals, the auspicious time for Liefeng and Qin Ling'er is gradually approaching.
Lu Ao and Lie Quan smiled at each other and walked into the auditorium side by side.
The master of ceremonies then began to push the process forward according to the ancient rituals of the Dragon Kingdom.
"The auspicious time has arrived, please come forward, bride and groom!"
A series of preliminary preparations have been completed.
The two parties of today's wedding finally walked out of the hall slowly under the attention of everyone.
The man was wearing a red wedding suit and looked handsome.
The women were supported by their dowry maids and wore bright red veils on their heads.
But what is inconsistent with today is that Liefeng, the groom, does not seem to be particularly happy at this moment.
His steps were stiff and there was no expression on his handsome face.
This is not how a newlywed groom should behave.
So much so that the servant following behind him kept whispering to him, "Master, smile, please smile a little!"
But he still went his own way, with a stiff face, and he was almost shouting out that he didn't want to get married.
"Hahaha, great! My son-in-law is already handsome, and wearing the wedding suit today, he looks even more heroic and extraordinary!"
"It seems that my Ling'er will be extremely happy after coming to your Lie family!"
As if he didn't see Liefeng's expression, Lu Ao still laughed out loud after the other party came over.
Lie Quan also laughed when he saw this and praised Qin Ling'er.
After the words were spoken, the two finally came from outside the hall to the center of the auditorium.
The master of ceremonies stood still and continued with the wedding process.
Next, the actual ceremony of worshipping in the hall will take place, and once it is completed, the wedding of the two will be officially completed.
"Next, please invite the newcomers from both sides to come forward."
"Bow to heaven and earth!"
The emcee's loud voice spread from the center of the auditorium to outside the auditorium.
The newlyweds did not move upon hearing this, but stood there together in tacit understanding.
After a long pause, the two still showed no signs of moving.
The MC also laughed and said to everyone in the auditorium: "Oh, it seems that our two newlyweds today are a little nervous."
"It's okay, it's the first time!"
"Master Lie, Miss Lu, you two just need to follow my instructions and bow to whatever I tell you to bow to~"
Ha ha ha ha!
Although they didn't know what was going on between the two people on the field, the guests all knew that they must not upset the two heads of the Lu and Lie families.
So even though there were some doubts about this marriage, everyone still laughed in unison.
The atmosphere gradually eased.
"Okay, everyone please be quiet, let's hurry up!"
"The two newlyweds bow to heaven and earth!"
"To worship heaven and earth is to bow to the heaven and earth outside~!"
After going through the process again, the two newcomers still stood there motionless.
This forced the emcee to pretend to be humorous again and explain in detail what it meant to worship heaven and earth.
But this time, the faces of the two heads of the Lu and Lie families were somewhat embarrassed.
They knew that both of the people in the audience came with resentment, and that by not doing what the MC said for the first time, they were also using their actions to resist the arranged marriage.
However, if this happened once, they could still tolerate it, but if it happened twice, it would be somewhat embarrassing.
If the two juniors had continued to insist like this today and made the two family heads lose face, even if the Lu and Lie families were merged later, they would still be laughed at by the people in the audience for the rest of their lives.
"Humph, the youngsters nowadays are really going backwards, their faces are even thinner than we were back then!"
"Feng'er, Ling'er, you will be the heirs of my Lu and Lie families in the future. With so many people here to witness you, there is really nothing to be shy about!"
With a cold snort, Lie Quan grinned and said to the two people in front of the hall with a smile.
Although the words sounded nice, the tone was not that polite.
Anyone present who heard it knew that the head of the Lie family was angry.
Seeing this, Liefeng, who was standing in front of the hall, finally changed his expression several times and gradually compromised.
Upon seeing this, the master of ceremonies hurriedly sang loudly for the third time, asking the newlyweds to worship heaven and earth.
"Wait, this fluctuation of vitality, could it be that some important person is coming?!"
Before the newlyweds could bow, Liequan suddenly stretched out his hand, interrupting the ceremony that had finally begun.
It’s not that he had any objection to the wedding, but a violent energy fluctuation was coming from the entrance of his Lie family’s barrier.
Then, all the guests in the auditorium suddenly stood up and looked towards the exit of the barrier.
They are all cultivators, so they naturally know what this energy fluctuation represents.
At this moment, Lu Ao, who was sitting next to Lie Quan, suddenly had an extremely strange expression.
Because he had encountered this kind of fluctuation before.
The instigator of the energy fluctuation was none other than Qin Xuan, Qin Linger's brother whom he had wanted to accept as a guest official and who depended on him in the secular world!
