"Nephew Huo's words make sense. To think that there are so many good maidens in Nephew Lin's sect. If there are no marriages, us elders might be able to play matchmaker for them." An elder smiled.
"I wonder if this young lady is already married?" A young man glanced in the direction of Mo Qingcheng as he inquired. This young man had an elegant demeanor and had an extraordinary background. He should be able to attract Mo Qingcheng's attention.
However, Mo Qingcheng didn't even glance at him. She merely held onto Qin Wentian's hand, causing the expression of that young man to stiffen. He naturally understood Mo Qingcheng's meaning.
Huo Yan stared at Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng as a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Lin Shuai walked over. His face was filled with unhappiness. He was very clear of the status of this junior apprentice brother of his. Qin Wentian was someone who could speak on equal terms with immortal kings, and he could even meet with the Emperor Qianbian. These people actually dared to think that they would dare to make a move on Mo Qingcheng? How ridiculous.
In addition, the maidens beside Qin Wentian, Purgatory clearly had an extraordinary relationship with Qin Wentian. Qin Yao was Qin Wentian's elder sister, Ye Lingshuang was his foster sister, and Luo Huan was his senior apprentice sister. With Qin Wentian present, how could these people dare to interfere? Even his junior apprentice sister, Lou Bingyu, was a proud and aloof person, how could she possibly be interested in these young men?
He knew that the people of the Chen Clan didn't regard him highly. But if the guests of the Chen Clan wanted to covet the maidens beside Qin Wentian, they were far from qualified.
"What are you all doing? Today, the people of my sect came here to offer their congratulations, not to look for a husband. "Lin Shuai's domineering eyes stared at Huo Yan as he spoke.
His relationship with Chen Yi was extremely good, hence, he didn't care if the people of the Chen Clan looked up to him or not. This wedding was only to give the Chen Clan an explanation. After that, they would leave to temper themselves. He didn't care about the attitude of the Chen Clan, but these people were disrespectful to his sect.
"Lin Shuai, mind your attitude. That's your brother-in-law." Chen Yi's elder brother, Chen Ao, walked over and coldly spoke. Huo Yan smiled at Lin Shuai as though he was watching a play.
Everyone also had expressions of interest on their faces. Chen Ao was the elder brother of Lin Shuai and Huo Yan, and he had the same relationship with Lin Shuai and Huo Yan. But at this moment, he was berating Lin Shuai who was about to get married and shielding Huo Yan. From this, one could see the attitude of the Chen Clan towards Lin Shuai.
"Senior Brother, it's alright." Qin Wentian smiled. Since today was the wedding day of Lin Shuai and Chen Yi, he naturally didn't want to spoil the mood of the crowd. At the very least, he couldn't let Lin Shuai and the Chen Clan fall out. If that happened, both Senior Brother Lin Shuai and Chen Yi would be in a difficult position.
"Junior Brother Qin." Lin Shuai turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian, only to see Qin Wentian lightly nodding his head as he transmitted his voice, "Senior brother, we came here to congratulate you, not to disturb your wedding day. However, if senior brother wants me to do anything, you can tell me at any time."
Lin Shuai froze for a moment before nodding his head lightly.
"What are you guys doing? Lin Shuai, prepare yourselves, the wedding ceremony is about to begin." The Chen Clan was a prominent clan, they naturally had their own wedding ceremony. Lin Shuai nodded, only to see Chen Yi looking at Qin Wentian with an apologetic expression on her face.
"What kind of attitude is this?" Chen Xue coldly spoke upon seeing Lin Shuai and Chen Yi leaving. She didn't bother to hide, allowing Qin Wentian and the rest to hear her words clearly.
"From today onwards, that man will be the son-in-law of the Chen Clan. Maybe, he might even live in your clan in the future, becoming half a master." Huo Yan mocked.
"How dare he be so disrespectful to your brother-in-law? If it wasn't for giving face to Little Yi, I would have asked my father to directly kick him out of the clan." Chen Xue icily spoke.
"Forget it, today is the wedding day, let's not spoil the mood." Huo Yan spoke in a hypocritical manner. The smile on his face was extremely fake.
The conversation between the two of them was heard by Qin Wentian and the rest. The countenances of those from the Battle Sword Sect were all extremely unsightly to behold. These two were treating Lin Shuai's sect as thin air. From this, one could very well imagine how much contempt these two had for Lin Shuai.
"We've all cultivated for so many years, why are all of you so easily angered? Today, no one is allowed to spoil the mood." The old ancestor of the Battle Sword Sect spoke when he saw the unhappiness on the faces of those from the Battle Sword Sect. In such an occasion, even if they had to lose some face, they couldn't spoil the wedding between Lin Shuai and Chen Yi.
"Let's all go and watch the ceremony." The old ancestor spoke again. Everyone walked towards the center of the Chen Clan. The wedding ceremony of the Chen Clan first required them to pay respects to the ancestors of the Chen Clan before serving tea to the elders and greeting their siblings, as well as their brother-in-law.
Although the elders of the Chen Clan didn't approve of Chen Yi and Lin Shuai being together, since Chen Yi had already agreed to it, they wouldn't intentionally make things difficult for them. Even Chen Ao, who had a cold expression on his face, after Chen Yi and Lin Shuai greeted each other, he still brought out some gifts to express his congratulations.
However when it was Huo Yan and Chen Xue's turn, Lin Shuai and Chen Yi stood in front of them, preparing to bow. However, Chen Xue directly evaded, causing the gazes of everyone to land on her.
"I'm not worthy of such a bow." Chen Xue unhappily spoke.
"Chen Xue." Father Chen solemnly spoke. This daughter of his actually dared to cause trouble at this moment.
"Elder sis, if Lin Shuai and I did anything wrong, you can tell us. Little Yi will apologize to elder sis and brother-in-law first." Chen Yi bowed as she spoke.
"Little Yi, this has nothing to do with you." Chen Xue spoke.
"Little Yi, your elder sis isn't unhappy with you. I just feel that it's a pity. After all, you are so outstanding …" Huo Yan sighed, but a smile still hung on his face. Although he didn't finish his sentence, it was undoubtedly a slap to Lin Shuai's face.
"This bastard." Sword Sovereign Lingtian's countenance turned ashen when he saw his beloved disciple being purposely made things difficult for him.
Ye Lingshuang's gaze was also extremely cold. She stared at Qin Wentian who was beside her as she transmitted her voice, "Wentian, although Senior Brother Lin Shuai doesn't wish to borrow your fame to raise his own status, this person's cultivation base is only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Maybe, he is just relying on the power behind him to humiliate Senior Brother. Wentian, can you use a more gentle method to help Senior Brother? Under the precondition that you don't ruin the wedding ceremony."
"Sister Lingshuang." Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to her, "Senior Brother has his own pride. If Senior Brother is unwilling, I won't force my thoughts onto him. This is a sign of respect to Senior Brother. Also, I've already hinted to Senior Brother that as long as he agrees, I will naturally do something."
"Fine." Ye Lingshuang nodded her head lightly, hoping that Senior Brother Lin Shuai would be able to think things through. She didn't like to borrow Wentian's prestige, but Lin Shuai loved to use it to bully others.
Huo Yan's words caused Chen Yi to feel extremely unhappy when she heard it. She held onto Lin Shuai's hand, but she didn't even look at Chen Xue and Huo Yan. She didn't bow, but directly walked past them and bowed to another elder sister. Huo Yan's smile instantly froze on his face. Staring at the numerous gazes directed at him, Huo Yan felt a chill in his heart.
Was this a show of disrespect for him?
"Elder sister, look." A smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face when he saw Chen Yi's determination. He finally understood why his Senior Brother Lin Shuai was willing to throw away some face just to marry Chen Yi.
Back then when he was together with Mo Qingcheng, didn't he also encounter many objections?
Chen Xue and Huo Yan's lips twitched, but they were restrained by Papa Chen's gaze.
After the ceremony, the guests all gave their blessings. After which, Papa Chen spoke, "Chen Ao, Chen Xue, go and help them with the arrangements."
"Right." Chen Ao and the others nodded. After that, they walked towards a middle-aged man in green and bowed, "Senior Wen, please take the seat of honor."
"How can I do that? The seats of honor should be reserved for those closest to me." The middle-aged man in green shook his head and smiled.
"Brother Wen, there's no need to be so polite. If you don't sit, who else can?" Papa Chen personally stepped forward and bowed. This middle-aged man's status was extremely high, and he came from an extremely powerful clan that belonged to an immortal-king power. There was an immortal-king expert in his clan who lived not too far away and had some friendship with Papa Chen. This was why he came here to attend this banquet.
"Since this is the case, it would be impolite of me to refuse." The middle-aged man in green nodded.
The middle-aged man in green sat at the seat of honor. Many people clasped their hands to greet him as they chatted with him.
Chen Ao, Chen Xue and the others continued to arrange the seats of the guests. Qin Wentian and the others from the Battle Sword Sect were completely ignored.
Seeing that the seats were almost full, even the serving maids were seated at the very back. Only now did Chen Xue and Huo Yan walk over. Huo Yan smiled, "Everyone, my apologies. Before this, we didn't know that Lin Shuai also had a sect. Hence, we weren't able to prepare so many seats for the guests. Why don't you all take the seats at the very back?"
The people from the Battle Sword Sect all had cold expressions on their faces. Ye Lingshuang coldly spoke, "Is this the Chen Clan's way of etiquette?"
"We didn't even invite you guys in the first place. You guys actually came here on your own accord. Could it be that you guys want to sit at the top with your status?" Chen Xue impolitely spoke in a low voice. "Do you guys know who Senior Wen is? He's an expert from an immortal-king clan. Do you guys think that you are qualified to sit together with him? "
Lin Shuai stood on the ceremonial stage. There was no trace of a happy smile on his face. Today was his wedding day and he didn't really care about his face. However, he didn't expect that the people from the Chen Clan would intentionally make things difficult for those from his sect. Chen Xue's words entered his ears without missing a single word.
"Ladies, if there aren't any seats, feel free to squeeze a little." A young man smiled as he glanced at the beauties from the Battle Sword Sect. His tone contained hints of mockery. That young man also came from a powerful clan and hence, he didn't feel any taboo.
That Senior Wen kept staring at Qin Wentian in the direction of the Battle Sword Sect. His eyes gleamed with sharpness as he asked Father Chen, "What's the name of that handsome young man in white?"
"They are from Lin Shuai's sect. That young man should be his junior apprentice brother but he should have encountered some good fortune. His aura is extraordinary and his aura is retracted. However, the two beauties beside him seem to be at the immortal-foundation realm." Father Chen spoke in a light voice. He didn't really care about a few immortal-foundation experts. After all, there were many immortal-foundation experts among the guests.
"Do you know his name?" The green-robed middle-aged man asked.
"Before this, I heard Lin Shuai referring to him as junior apprentice brother Qin. Do you need me to ask him?" Father Chen asked.
"Qin." The heart of the green-robed middle-aged man trembled. Seems like he was right. His Wen Clan was an immortal-king ranked power in the Cloud Prefecture. How would a power of this level dare to ignore an existence like the Immortal Qianbian Gate? In his Wen Clan, there were many important characters of the Immortal Qianbian Gate.
Among them, there was an extremely important character named Qin Wentian.
Seems like he had to inform the old ancestor to make a trip here. After all, he didn't have the qualifications to converse with such a character!
