As Miss Jing's old friends, Xiong Meng, Zhang Hai, and the others also received the wedding invitations. However, like Xiao Lingyu, they couldn't feel happy even though their friends were about to get married.
It wasn't that Xiao Lingyu and the others had any thoughts about Miss Jing, but they felt that there was one less person they could trust around them. This made them feel uncomfortable, and it made Xiong Meng and the others feel a little lost.
Guan Yiwei and Miss Jing's wedding was held three months after the invitations were sent out. The invited guests gathered at the open-air wedding venue in the Guan Family's courtyard.
Xiao Lingyu came and sat at the same table as Xiong Meng and the other cultivators from Wildfire.
Qi Hongxuan and Yueru's arrival didn't surprise Xiao Lingyu. After all, they had also invited Guan Yiwei and Miss Jing to their wedding last time.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu was that Qi Hongxuan and Yueru came over to say hello and then sat at the same table as Xiao Lingyu.
Perhaps it was because they were too close, or perhaps Qi Hongxuan deliberately revealed his aura, but Xiao Lingyu could feel that Qi Hongxuan's strength had increased again. This made his heart sink even more.
If he still couldn't defeat Qi Hongxuan after reaching the peak of the late-stage of Arcane Enlightenment, would he have to attempt the seventh revolution of the Nine Revolution Chaos Formula?
Xiao Lingyu didn't stay at the sixth revolution for long. Even if he reached the peak of the late-stage of Arcane Enlightenment, he still needed to prepare a lot of materials and methods to attempt the seventh revolution. This preparation process would definitely take a long time.
"How has Brother Xiao been recently?" Yueru asked with concern after sitting down.
"Hehe, very good. How about you?" Xiao Lingyu pretended to be relaxed and smiled.
"I'm also very good. Fu … Hongxuan is very good to me. I'm already an intermediate alchemist," Yueru said with a happy expression.
When Qi Hongxuan and Yue Ru came in, Xiao Lingyu saw that the two of them were holding hands. They looked like a loving couple.
"I already said that Yueru won't suffer any grievances in the Qi Family. Brother Xiao, don't worry."
Qi Hongxuan interrupted, completely forgetting that he had threatened Xiao Lingyu with Yueru.
"I'm not worried about Yueru, but I'm worried about Brother Qi."
At this point, Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes and smiled. He continued, "Brother Qi's body has a strange aura, and there's also a dark purple color on his glabella. I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Qi Hongxuan's face sank at first, but then his expression returned to normal. He said indifferently, "Heaven helps the worthy. Since I can reach this point, I believe I can go even further in the future. However, I still have to thank Brother Xiao for reminding me. If disaster really befalls me, I also have a way to avoid it."
Xiao Lingyu nodded calmly and didn't say anything else. He minded his own business and drank the fine wine provided by the Qi Family.
Naturally, Yue Ru did not understand what Xiao Lingyu and Qi Hongxuan were talking about. Therefore, she obediently remained silent. She knew that Xiao Lingyu and Qi Hongxuan had a complicated relationship, but she did not know who she should help. After all, one of them was the man who had once made her fall in love with him, while the other was the man who had married her through the wedding ceremony.
Miss Jing and Guan Yiwei's wedding was similar to Yueru and Qi Hongxuan's wedding. They also bowed to heaven and earth, paid respects to their elders, and the newlyweds bowed to each other. Then, the ceremony was announced.
However, just as the newlyweds were smiling and the guests were giving their blessings, something unexpected happened.
Just as the Guan Family's head, who was presiding over the wedding, had the newlyweds start bowing to heaven and earth, three unknown cultivators suddenly descended from the sky.
Today was the Guan Family's big day, so the Guan Family's security was tighter than usual, but these three people still descended from the sky of the Guan Family's courtyard.
Among the three people, one of them was a girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old. She wore a white gauze dress and stood on a five-colored cloud. Her skin was fresh and red, like the morning sun reflecting on the snow.
Although the woman looked young, she had a stern and dignified expression on her face.
Behind the girl, there were two armored cultivators holding simple large sabers.
When Xiao Lingyu saw the three people, he was stunned at first glance. When he looked carefully at the girl, he immediately felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
The girl's appearance was exactly the same as the Jiang Lanyue hidden in the depths of Xiao Lingyu's memory. However, her temperament seemed to have changed greatly.
"Dongfang Jing, how dare you!"
The girl slowly walked to the wedding stage and said coldly.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Guan Family …"
A Guan Family's Divine Monarch cultivator stepped forward to stop them.
"Scram!"
The girl shouted softly, and with a light wave of her sleeve, the Guan Family's Divine Monarch cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards, knocking over many tables.
The intruder actually made a move in the Guan Family's courtyard. One could imagine how angry the other Guan Family members were. They all rushed over.
"Stop!"
The Guan Family's Divine King shouted from the stage. All the Guan Family members resentfully stopped and did not move forward.
"Fellow Daoist, are you acquainted with my daughter-in-law?" The Guan Family's Divine King asked.
What made the Guan Family's Divine King embarrassed was that the girl did not pay attention to her words. Instead, she said to Miss Jing, "Dongfang Jing, others may not know your identity, but don't you know it yourself? You are the only child left in your clan, and now that you are under the protection of my Family Jiang, you actually went out on your own and even wanted to get married. Have you considered for your clan, for my Family Jiang? "
Miss Jing looked a little terrified on the stage, and a complicated expression of guilt, self-blame, and hesitation appeared on her face.
"Fortunately, I arrived in time. Your mistakes and willfulness end here."
After the girl said that, she waved her hand and sent out a five-colored radiance to envelop Miss Jing.
Strangely, although the Guan Family's Divine King was beside her, she did not make a move to stop her.
Guan Yiwei made a move to stop her, but unfortunately, he was bounced back by the five-colored radiance.
The five-colored radiance enveloped Miss Jing's entire body, and then her body slowly floated up.
Miss Jing, who was enveloped by the five-colored radiance, shook her head apologetically at Guan Yiwei. She still wanted to say something, but unfortunately, no one could hear it.
Guan Yiwei was very excited, but he was firmly held back by his mother.
Guan Yiwei could guess that the person who came was not simple. Otherwise, his mother would not have just sat by and watched.
On the day of the wedding, the bride was snatched away. Any clan would feel that they had lost face and would not agree so easily.
The girl did not dawdle in the Guan Family's courtyard. The five-colored cloud under her feet appeared again, and she and the two guards rose up together.
The five-colored cloud was slow at first, but after two breaths of time, it suddenly sped up and soared into the sky.
Only then did Xiao Lingyu come back to his senses. He couldn't help but shout at the sky, "Jiang Lanyue!"
Unfortunately, the five-colored cloud had already disappeared into the night sky.
The girl, who was already in the sky, suddenly frowned and asked the guards behind her, "Did anyone call my name just now?"
One of the guards said with a flattering smile, "Miss Yue, how could anyone recognize you in such a remote place?"
The girl nodded and said, "I rarely move around in the God Realm. Apart from my clan, there are not many people who can recognize me. I might have misheard."
The other guard said flatteringly, "With Miss Yue's status, even if someone recognized you, how could they call you by your name?"
The girl nodded silently and didn't say anything else.
Xiao Lingyu looked up at the night sky and felt a little puzzled. "Is she really Jiang Lanyue? She should have heard my call just now, right? "
A good wedding had turned into bubbles just like that. The guests were all disappointed, and the Guan family was also depressed.
"Everyone, please go back. I apologize for the lack of hospitality today."
The Guan family head apologized to everyone. Then, he said to the Godking of Women, "Auntie, could that girl be someone from the Family Jiang?"
The Godking of Matron watched as the guests left. She said in a deep voice, "Although I can't be completely sure, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that it's true. Those two guards are dressed exactly the same as the guards of the Jiang family. That woman's bearing and the five-colored divine light she produced also prove that her origins are extraordinary."
The Guan family head frowned and said, "If she's someone from the Family Jiang, wouldn't we be in big trouble?"
The Godking of Women shook her head and said, "Our Guan family isn't worth the trouble of the Family Jiang."
However, Guan Yiwei was not convinced and said, "Even if it's the Family Jiang, isn't it a little too overbearing and rude to snatch the bride away at someone else's wedding?"
The Godking of Women looked at her son and said, "The God Realm has always been like this. If our Guan family was also one of the top families, the Family Jiang might have some scruples about saving face. Unfortunately, we are too insignificant to the Family Jiang. They don't need to care about our face at all."
Guan Yiwei did not give up and said, "One day, I will definitely go to the Family Jiang and snatch Jing 'er back!"
The Godking of Women smiled and said, "It's good to have ambition, but you must act according to your ability. Even if you cultivate to the God Emperor level, it won't be easy to go to the Family Jiang to snatch Jing 'er back. Jing 'er must have expected that someone would come to take her back, so she agreed to marry you so early. Plus, her expression when she left just now is enough to prove that she does have some feelings for you. It's a pity that the Family Jiang is a gap that we can't cross! "
"Senior Xiao, we should go now."
Xiao Lingyu was still looking at the night sky in a daze when Xiong Meng reminded him in a low voice.
"Haha, Brother Xiao must have been attracted by the beauty of that woman from the Family Jiang. However, Brother Xiao should think twice. Not to mention that woman's status in the Family Jiang is definitely not ordinary, her cultivation is at the God King Stage and it's hard for ordinary cultivators to get close to her." Qi Hongxuan smiled and said to Xiao Lingyu. He seemed to be looking down on her.
Although she was already Qi Hongxuan's wife, Yueru felt a little strange when he heard this.
The woman had just said that she was from the Family Jiang, and she looked exactly like Jiang Lanyue. Therefore, he was sure that she was Jiang Lanyue. Although he did not get to talk to her, seeing Jiang Lanyue again made him excited and happy.
After leaving the mansion, Qi Hongxuan suddenly said to Xiao Lingyu, "I will host a banquet in my courtyard tomorrow night to thank Brother Xiao for taking care of Yueru in the past. Brother Xiao, please take the time to attend the banquet tomorrow night."
