"So many people?"
Rushing all the way back to the Luo Clan, Zhang Xuan leaped in astonishment before he could even step into the main hall.
He had only come here to welcome the bride, not to celebrate the wedding. He had thought that there would only be a few students here to join in on the fun, but who could have thought that there would be so many of them?
"It's only normal for you to attract so many people here given the huge commotion that you have caused … As for those reclusive experts, they are probably here out of respect for Yang shi," Sword Saint Meng said.
"Out of respect for Yang shi?"
"Indeed! Grand Elder Huo Shiqing of the Mingshi Tang Sect once received Yang shi's guidance, and the two of them are both close friends and teacher. As for Miraculous Hands, it's said that Yang shi once saved him from a perilous situation. I'm not too sure about the details, but several hundred years ago, Tranquil Lake Daoist challenged Yang shi to a game of chess, and he ended up losing so badly that he even lost his pants.
Sword Saint Meng said with a smile.
Even though this was confidential information, the Zhang family had a close relationship with Yang shi, so they knew quite a bit about it.
Besides, other than Yang shi, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to invite such a renowned figure.
"I'll be troubling Yang shi then …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile.
He had only come here to welcome the bride, so he didn't think that he would have to make such a huge commotion.
However, it was clear that the other party was doing this for his sake as well.
The bigger the commotion, the greater the influence he would have. This way, he would be able to wield greater prestige in the future!
"Let's go in!"
Sword Saint Meng nodded. As soon as the duo walked into the room, Lu Chong and Zheng Yang immediately rushed over to welcome them.
"Teacher!"
They had also received news of the matter, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.
"I went to take a look at the scene, and given the prowess of the culprit, it would have been easy for him to kill Zhao Ya and the others. Yet, he chose to capture them instead. This means that they shouldn't be in any danger for the time being!"
Zhang Xuan explained. "However, don't let your guard down. Since the culprit has made the first move, there's bound to be some follow-up moves. If I'm not mistaken, they might appear today … So, make sure to prepare for battle!"
"Un."
Zheng Yang and Lu Chong glanced at one another and nodded simultaneously.
Zhao Ya and Wei Ruyan were no weaker than them, but they were still able to capture them in an instant. There was no doubt that the other party was powerful. If he really dared to come over, they would have to use all of their strength to prevent him from escaping.
"Patriarch of the Zhang family, I am the Sect Master of the Clear River Sect. It is my honor to be able to witness the marriage between the Zhang and Luo families …"
After confirming Zhang Xuan's identity, a crowd immediately gathered around him.
"This is Zhang Shi? Heroes indeed come from the young! "
"He's only twenty this year, but not only has he become the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages, each of his students is stronger than the last. Just how in the world does he cultivate?"
"It's said that Yang shi took in a disciple on behalf of his teacher, and even he has to address him as senior!"
"With Yang shi's personal guidance and the pure bloodline of the Zhang family, it's not unreasonable for him to have such accomplishments at such a young age!"
…
"Well, everyone, if there's anything, we can talk about it later. There will be plenty of opportunities. It won't be good if we miss the auspicious hour!"
Luo Qingchen stepped forward and said.
Regardless of whether it was a wedding or a wedding, they would always choose the best timing. Naturally, the Luo Clan would be even more cautious.
Knowing this, the crowd nodded and opened up a path for Luo Qingchen.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan followed behind Luo Qingchen and headed to the center of the room.
At the very center of the room sat Heung Kensei and Yang shi.
Sitting opposite him was an authoritative middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to Luo Xuanqing. Without a doubt, he was the father of the little princess, his future father-in-law.
Luo Xuanqing was standing behind him, and beside him was a beautiful young lady. She wore a red veil over her head, concealing her appearance completely.
"Ruoxin …"
Zhang Xuan's body tensed up, and he couldn't help but feel delighted.
Even though it had only been a few months since they parted ways, it felt like years had passed.
He missed her every single day and night.
Knowing that this wasn't the time to be talking, Zhang Xuan suppressed his longing for her. Just as he was about to hear how they were going to discuss the wedding, a question suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Why does her figure seem a little different?"
He and Lozosy were lovers, and the two of them had pledged their lives to one another in the Qiu Wu Palace. Even though they hadn't spent much time together, he was still familiar with her figure. While the young lady beneath the red veil had an impeccable figure as well, there was something different about her at first glance.
"Could it be that … she didn't just disguise her appearance back then, she disguised her figure as well?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Back then, he had only noticed that the other party had disguised her appearance, not her figure. Could it be that she had disguised her figure as well?
"Xuan-er, we have agreed to hold the wedding as soon as we return to the Zhang Clan. What do you think?"
Just as Zhang Xuan was contemplating whether he should use his Spiritual Perception or Eye of Insight to take a look, Heung Kensei suddenly spoke up.
"Of course!" Zhang Xuan hurriedly nodded.
Marrying Lozosy had always been his dream. Now that the opportunity was right before his eyes, how could he possibly turn it down?
"That's good, it's settled then. Since so many of you are here today, let's head to the Zhang Clan's wedding banquet together!"
Heung Kensei laughed heartily.
"Of course!"
"We have to attend this wedding banquet!"
The crowd clasped their fists.
"Alright, let's get ready to set off then!"
Since they had already agreed on the wedding banquet, there was no need for Zhang Xuan to say anything else. Heung Kensei stood up. Seeing that his son was still in a daze, he couldn't help but chuckle. "What are you waiting for? Bring your future daughter-in-law to the sedan chair!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xuan hurriedly nodded as he walked up to the young lady. Just as he was about to hold her hand, a huge commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Following which, a powerful shockwave burst into the surroundings, causing a deafening rumble in the air.
"What happened?"
The head of the Luo Clan abruptly stood up and looked outside.
"Reporting to the clan head, bad news … Two people barged in, and we weren't able to stop them …"
A member of the Luo Clan rushed in anxiously.
"The Zhang Clan and the Luo Clan are going to be joining hands in a marriage banquet, and there are so many experts gathered here. Who dares to cause trouble here? Let me see who's the one who has the guts to do this. "
The head of the Luo Clan narrowed his eyes.
It was such a grand wedding banquet, and there were so many experts gathered here. Who would dare to cause trouble here?
"It should be him …"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up as he quickly turned to Zheng Yang and the others, only to see that his students were already in position.
He had already guessed that the culprit who had abducted Yuan Tao, Zhao Ya, and the others would appear at this moment, so there was no doubt that the culprit was that person.
"Let's head over to take a look!"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Zhang Xuan hurriedly followed the head of the Luo Clan out of the banquet hall.
Barely after reaching the banquet hall, he saw two figures slowly walking over. The elders of the Luo Clan and the experts who had charged forward to stop them quickly backed away.
"Could it be that they are the ones who have abducted Zhao Ya?"
Following the flow of the crowd, Zhang Xuan took a closer look and saw that the one who had made the move was a young lad who appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen. Behind him was a veiled lady. Even though it was impossible to see her face clearly, just from her figure and physique, Zhang Xuan could tell that she was a rare beauty.
"Her figure …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to call Lu Chong and the others over to grab the lady to take a closer look, his body suddenly jolted, and his body stiffened.
Hula!
At that instant, the veil on the woman's face slowly fell to the ground, revealing a gorgeous face that would drive anyone crazy with a single glance.
"Firesource City, open your heart to me; Qiu Wu Palace, promise of three lifetimes … Zhang Xuan, you have sworn an oath of undying love with me, but here you are, marrying someone else!"
The lady's eyes reddened slightly.
"Lozosy, y-you …"
As if struck by lightning, Zhang Xuan's mind was in a mess.
The lady before him was no other than the one who had moved his heart and made a life-and-death pact with him, Lozosy!
Since she was Ruoxin … who was the little princess?
Zhang Xuan hurriedly turned around, only to see the veil on the lady's face falling, revealing a face so beautiful that it left one breathless.
"Qiqi …"
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
