The Mu family's mansion was filled with a joyous atmosphere. Many guests were seated, and the sounds of chatting could be heard continuously.
Wherever Mu Gui went, people would stand up to congratulate him. This caused the smile on his face to never fade.
Yang Li's expression was completely out of place compared to the others. His face was covered in frost, and the coldness seemed to seep through his skin and infect others. Many of the people who had come to toast to Liu Wang looked at Yang Li with strange expressions.
Liu Wang felt a headache when he saw Yang Li's expression. However, on second thought, Yang Li was still a young man after all. It was inevitable that his ability to control his emotions was lacking. In addition, this was related to his master, so it was inevitable for him to have such an expression. It was already very rare for Yang Li to be able to endure it until now.
"Forget it, let him be. Anyway, there won't be any happy event in the Mu family today. Even if there is a happy event, it will be Bian Xiuran's happy event." Liu Wang shook his head and sighed softly.
In the eyes of others, time seemed to pass extremely quickly. However, in Yang Li's eyes, time seemed to pass a little too slowly.
At this time, the servant at the door made an excited voice. His voice was so loud that everyone in the Mu family could hear it clearly.
"The Patriarch of the Xue family, Xue Wu, has arrived!"
As soon as this sentence was announced, the entire Mu family became quiet. Many people stared at the door with their mouths agape.
When Mu Gui heard the name of the person who had arrived, he was also dumbfounded. The Xue family was one of the big families in the Forest Bird Domain. The Mu family and the Xue family had nothing to do with each other.
Moreover, it was said that the Xue family and the Huo family had a grudge against each other. A few years ago, they even fought to the death. Today was the wedding day of the Fire Division and Mu Yu. The purpose of the Patriarch of the Xue family's visit was somewhat thought-provoking.
However, the person who came was a guest. Even though he knew that Xue Wu's intention was not good, Mu Gui didn't dare to neglect him. He hurriedly rushed to the door and was about to invite Xue Wu to sit down.
However, Xue Wu didn't give him a chance to greet him at the door. He laughed and walked in. As he walked, he said, "Patriarch Mu, I came uninvited. Please don't take offense."
Mu Gui hurriedly said, "Not at all, not at all. The head of the Xue family is here to attend the wedding of my daughter and the Fire Division. Our family is more than happy. How can we be offended?"
"Alright, Patriarch Mu, please continue with your work. Don't mind me. I'll just find a place to sit down." Xue Wu casually waved his hand when he heard Mu Gui's words. His eyes swept over the seats in the banquet.
"Eh, why is this little girl here?" When Xue Wu's gaze swept across Sun Yao, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Then, he walked over to Yang Li and the others.
The people in the Mu Family didn't even dare to breathe loudly at this time, for fear of angering Xue Wu and attracting a fatal disaster. One had to know that Xue Wu was a Sixth-Order Transcendent Realm master, someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Yang Li and the others naturally looked at Xue Wu. Yang Li, who was originally curious about Xue Wu's intentions, saw Traceless Wind winking at him behind him and instantly understood that Traceless Wind must have invited him to help Bian Xiuran. This made Yang Li feel a little moved.
Seeing Xue Wu come over, Yang Li and the others also stood up to greet him. Whether it was in terms of strength, influence, or age, these people should have respect for Xue Wu. Moreover, Xue Wu was invited by Traceless Wind. Just because he was here to help Bian Xiuran, Yang Li had to get up to greet him.
"Uncle Xue, why are you here?" The first to speak should have been Liu Wang, but when Sun Yao saw Xue Wu coming over, she couldn't help blurting out such a sentence.
Her crisp voice was extremely clear in the quiet Mu Family, attracting everyone's attention in the courtyard.
Hearing Sun Yao's words, Xue Wu pointed to Traceless Wind behind him and said with a smile, "This smelly brat has been pestering me for a month, forcing me to attend this wedding. I couldn't take it anymore, so I came over. But little girl, why are you here?"
"I came here with Brother Yang Li. He came to see his master." Although Sun Yao was a little naive, she was not a fool. Naturally, she wouldn't say that Yang Li came to steal the wedding for his master.
"Oh?" Xue Wu looked at Yang Li with a trace of surprise in his eyes. Then he looked at Traceless Wind behind him and said, "Traceless, are you here because of this person's master?"
"Yes, Uncle Xue." Traceless Wind nodded affirmatively.
"This brat's charisma is extraordinary. He can make Sun Yao come with him, and he can make Traceless pester me for a month because of him. If there's a chance, I'll have to get to know him." Xue Wu looked at Yang Li thoughtfully, and couldn't help but be interested in Yang Li.
At the thought of this, Xue Wu looked at the people in the courtyard and laughed heartily. "Everyone, eat, drink, and chat. I'm just here to attend a wedding banquet. Don't let me affect the joyous atmosphere."
Hearing this, everyone in the courtyard agreed, "The leader of the Xue family is right." Then the atmosphere resumed, and it became noisy again.
Xue Wu turned his eyes towards Yang Li and the others again, and said with a smile, "Let's sit down and talk."
Yang Li and the others sat down with Xue Wu. During this period, Liu Wang and Zhou Maodian naturally chatted more with Xue Wu. After all, the status of the two parties was not much different. On the other hand, Yang Li, Traceless Wind, and the others chatted with each other.
Xue Wu's arrival was just an interlude to the wedding, so it naturally wouldn't affect the wedding too much. Mu Gui looked at Xue Wu and felt that he didn't look like he was here to cause trouble, but for safety reasons, he still reported to the Fire Division.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was noon.
With a burst of joyful music and a loud announcement, the whole Mu Residence was in an uproar. Everyone stood up and looked at the door.
"The bridegroom, Fire Division has arrived!"
On the other hand, Yang Li and the others were as steady as Mount Tai as they looked at the entrance.
They saw a man wearing luxurious clothes walk in. The man was tall and straight, and his hair was tied behind his back. His face was angular, and he looked extremely handsome. He had a faint smile on his face as he greeted the other guests.
Many members of the Huo clan followed behind him. They carried all sorts of gifts and wore smiles on their faces.
When Huo Si saw several people sitting in the banquet hall, a trace of displeasure flashed through his eyes, but he hid it well. However, even if he hid it, it didn't mean that the other members of the Huo Family could endure it.
Immediately, someone shouted, "Third Master Huo is getting married, why don't you stand up to congratulate him?"
Hearing this, Xue Wu's face turned cold. He turned around and said, "Even if the Huo Family's patriarch is getting married, I don't want to stand up. Let's see if he dares to speak like this!"
When the man saw Xue Wu's face, his legs became weak. His originally arrogant face became as red as a pig's liver. He didn't know what to say.
The Fire Division already knew that Xue Wu was here, and he had made the necessary preparations. He said with an ugly expression, "What does the patriarch of the Xue family want to do? Do you want to cause trouble for the Huo Family on my wedding day?"
Hearing this, Xue Wu's face became even uglier, "Do you think I, Xue Wu, have the right to criticize me?!"
"The patriarch of the Xue family has a bad temper! Third Brother doesn't, so do you think I have the right to do so? "A middle-aged man walked in from the door. His eyes were filled with cold light, and his voice was biting cold.
"I didn't expect that even you, Huo Fa, would come. You do have the right, but you have to think about the consequences." Xue Wu said disdainfully.
"Today is my third brother's wedding day. I don't want to argue with you. If you are willing, then let's drop this matter. If not, then our two families can start a war again!" Huo Fa said coldly.
At this moment, Xue Wu suddenly heard someone's voice, and he was overjoyed. In the end, he pretended to be displeased and said, "Fine, I'm here because of my nephew's invitation. I'll treat it as giving my nephew face and not arguing with you."
Huo Fa's lips curled into a disdainful smile. He thought to himself, "In the end, this old man doesn't dare to start a war with the Huo Family."
Although this was what he thought, Huo Fa still said, "That's good."
The quarrel between the two was over, but the guests were still whispering to each other. In their eyes, Xue Wu was clearly showing weakness.
However, none of this had much of an impact on Xue Wu. Compared to going against Huo Fa in the end, he was much happier about the benefits he could get.
The person who sent him the voice transmission was Liu Wang. Liu Wang's words were also very simple.
"Xue family Patriarch, why don't you take a step back and let Yang Li handle this matter. In the end, he will definitely be able to recover. Moreover, in the future, when your Xue family purchases or auctions items from the Lunar Exploration Association, you will be given a 20% discount."
The 20% discount from the Lunar Exploration Association made even Xue Wu a little uneasy. Whether it was the Southern Territory or other territories, there were always some things that the big families needed but couldn't obtain. However, these things could always be obtained by the Lunar Exploration Association.
At their level, if they encountered something they needed, the price would be extremely expensive. If an item cost 10 million mid-rank spirit stones, then it would only cost 8 million mid-rank spirit stones. Although 2 million mid-rank spirit stones didn't seem like a lot, in fact, it was almost half a year's income for his family.
Coupled with the daily purchase of some cultivation resources, it was a huge profit with the accumulation of some small amounts making an ocean.
In this way, it wasn't a big deal to suffer a small loss for the time being. Moreover, Liu Wang had also said that they would be able to get back at them in the end. The Xue Family had gained a lot of benefits without risking anything. In the end, they would even have face, which was quite good.
The wedding of Fire Division and Mu Yu wasn't affected by this little episode at all. In their eyes, the Xue family's actions had actually raised their prestige. After all, it was Xue Wu who admitted defeat first.
