Today, Mu Tianjiao was exceptionally beautiful. She had changed into a golden robe from head to toe and wore a golden phoenix crown on her head, which complemented the imposing Wu Xiong. One was a graceful and dainty heroine, while the other was the External Affairs Commander of the Immortal Palace who held great power. One soft and one hard, they were a match made in heaven.
It was said that a woman was at her most beautiful when she married. Standing in the corner, Yue Qianchou could not help but sigh. This Mu Tianjiao had indeed married the right person. With Wu Xiong supporting her, she would no longer have to endure so much hardship as a woman.
Looking behind her, her father, Mu Bing, was scanning the crowd below with spirited eyes. He seemed exceptionally happy. It seemed that her father was also quite satisfied with this marriage. Beside Mu Bing, Da Ming Lun stood there expressionlessly. However, from the position he was standing at, it was the position of the groom's closest relative. Clearly, his relationship with Wu Xiong was not ordinary.
On the steps, Wu Xiong looked around and raised his hand. Immediately, a golden-robed guard came over with a tray. Wu Xiong and Mu Tianjiao each took a cup of wine from the tray. Wu Xiong raised his cup with both hands and said, "Today is Wu Xiong's wedding. Wu Xiong is very grateful to all the heroes of the various sects. My wife and I would like to toast to everyone."
The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled. They raised their cups at the same time and drained it in one gulp. Everyone below also raised their cups and drained it.
After downing a cup of wine, Mu Tianjiao's bright eyes scanned the crowd below. She did not see Yue Qianchou in the crowd. Finally, she saw Yue Qianchou standing alone in the corner. She then looked at the elders of the various sects present and immediately understood. She could not help but feel a little ashamed and blame herself for not considering it thoroughly. Although she had invited him with good intentions, she had undoubtedly embarrassed him. There was no place for him here.
Yue Qianchou's position was actually the most conspicuous. Even Wu Xiong could not help but be startled when he saw him standing alone and miserable. Da Ming Lun only glanced at him for a moment. When Mu Bing saw Yue Qianchou, he frowned …
"There are colleagues of the Immortal Palace in the garden next door. My wife and I will take our leave. Please, everyone, drink to your heart's content." Wu Xiong cupped his hands to the crowd, while Mu Tianjiao bowed slightly. Amidst the applause of the crowd, the two made an appearance and left.
However, Big Ming Lun and Mu Bing were left behind to entertain the guests. Some Immortal Palace guards followed the two of them down the stairs. The two of them went to two sides and began to toast table by table. Mu Bing was particularly happy. The guests at the table were all people he would have had difficulty meeting in the past, but now they were all smiling and congratulating him. He was so happy that his mouth almost didn't stop moving. Amidst the compliments, he felt a little carried away.
On the other hand, Da Ming Lun appeared much colder. He only casually said things like "Have a good drink", and the other guests at the table followed suit. No one dared to talk nonsense with him.
Yue Qianchou sat at the very back. Since they wouldn't be able to reach him anytime soon, he just hugged a juicy fruit and drank cup after cup of wine. In any case, people at their level of cultivation couldn't get drunk if they didn't want to.
In fact, he was drowning his sorrows with wine. It wasn't because he felt lonely being ostracized by the crowd, but because he felt the gap between him and the other sects was too big. He also considered how difficult it would be for the World Commerce to establish a foothold in the Immortal Realm. Just the Heartless Palace was enough of a headache.
After Mu Bing finished toasting the last table in the row, he saw Yue Qianchou hiding in the back. His smile froze, and he frowned slightly. To be honest, he felt that a person of Yue Qianchou's level shouldn't have been invited to such an occasion. How could a small character like Yue Qianchou be qualified to come to the Paradise Immortal Realm's Foreign Affairs Grand Commander's Office? Now look at him. What did he look like on such a joyous occasion? He made it seem like he wasn't a good host. How unlucky!
In fact, he was most worried that Wu Xiong would misunderstand because Mu Tianjiao and Yue Qianchou knew each other. Mu Tianjiao didn't invite any other male guests but Yue Qianchou. How could he not be worried? He had always been against inviting Yue Qianchou, but his daughter insisted. There was nothing he could do.
Mu Bing frowned. He wanted to ignore Yue Qianchou and go to another row to continue toasting. However, Yue Qianchou stood up insensibly and raised his cup with a smile. "Congratulations, President Mu! Congratulations!"
Mu Bing's brows immediately furrowed. However, Wu Xiong was congratulating him and smiling. It wasn't good to lose his composure on such a joyous occasion. Mu Bing suppressed his unhappiness and walked over with two golden-robed guards holding trays.
Graycloud Xin, who paid attention to Yue Qianchou from time to time, immediately noticed that Mu Bing didn't seem to like Yue Qianchou. He immediately stood up and said in a clear voice, "Mr. Mu, I don't know what kind of background Yue Qianchou has. He's actually qualified to be on an equal footing with us. It's really incredible!"
As soon as this was said, many people could see that Graycloud Xin was purely trying to embarrass Yue Qianchou. On the other side, Da Ming Lun, who was toasting, looked back at Graycloud Xin coldly.
Mu Bing naturally knew what kind of person Graycloud Xin was in the Immortal World. He turned back and raised his cup with an apologetic smile. Then he walked in front of Yue Qianchou. Yue Qianchou glanced at Graycloud Xin and couldn't be bothered with him. He raised his cup to Mu Bing and said, "Congratulations, President Mu. Congratulations on your daughter's wedding." He smiled and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"Yue Qianchou, why are you sitting here alone?" Mu Bing asked indifferently.
Because the two of them were acquaintances, Yue Qianchou thought that Mu Bing was unhappy that he was being ignored and was concerned about him. He immediately smiled and said, "It's okay. The people sitting here are all experts from various sects in the Immortal World. How can I, Yue Qianchou, be ranked among the experts and sit together with the experts from various sects?"
"So you also know. Since you know, why come here to humiliate yourself? Do you think this is a place that anyone can come to?" Mu Bing snorted and didn't say anything else. He raised his cup and drank it in one gulp. Then he turned around and left, going to another sect to continue toasting.
Yue Qianchou had just refilled his cup. He wanted to say some words of congratulations, but who knew that he would hear such words from the other party's mouth. He immediately raised his cup in a daze.
This was something that he never dreamed of. He never thought that Mu Bing would actually say such words. Not to mention that he had once turned the tide in the Ruins of God when the Four Links Chamber of Commerce was in danger. No matter what, they had no enmity and even had some friendship!
Taking ten thousand steps back, he had also received an invitation. He didn't shamelessly stick his face here. Moreover, even if he wanted to be thick-skinned and come to this place, he wouldn't be able to enter without permission!
He was smiling and didn't do anything to let Mu Bing down, but why did Mu Bing slap his face in front of everyone? Didn't he know that if he hadn't saved his daughter in the Ruins of God, his daughter wouldn't be where she was today?
Yue Qianchou couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure it out even if he was given ten thousand reasons. He couldn't figure it out even if he was beaten to death.
At this time, Yue Qianchou didn't think about other aspects, nor did he think that it was Mu Bing's problem. Instead, he was in a daze. First, he reflected on himself. Had he done something wrong? Had he done something taboo on the day of his daughter's wedding? If that was really the case, then he shouldn't have done it. No matter what, Mu Tianjiao had invited him as a friend. If he made her feel uncomfortable on her wedding day, then that would be too much of a sin.
However, he really couldn't figure it out. He didn't know what he had done wrong. The only thing he had done out of line was quarreling with Gray Cloud Xin. That shouldn't be a big deal, right? Moreover, this matter was provoked by Gray Cloud Xin, but Mu Bing didn't give him any face!
What did I do wrong? Yue Qianchou raised his wine glass and stood there in a daze. He constantly reflected on himself and asked himself, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't come up with an answer.
The people around him who were drinking to their hearts' content would look over from time to time. No one would sympathize with Yue Qianchou for suffering such a great humiliation. In their eyes, Yue Qianchou wasn't qualified to be on equal footing with them. Only Wan Lihong shook her head slightly in the crowd. She didn't know what medicine Mu Bing had taken. Putting aside the fact that Yue Qianchou's background wasn't something he could afford to offend, today was his daughter's wedding! How could he say such a shameful thing to a guest who came to congratulate him?
"Haha! Stop daydreaming. Mr. Mu's words are very clear. This isn't a place that Yue Qianchou has the right to come to. "
Graycloud Xin's sarcastic words jolted Yue Qianchou awake from his contemplation. He inclined his head only to see Graycloud Xin coldly laughing, "Right now, I really suspect that your invitation card is fake. I hope the people from the Grand Governor's Manor can do a thorough check and see if there's someone who tried to sneak in."
Yue Qianchou ignored him and stared at Mu Bing. He suddenly asked loudly, "President Mu! Could it be that you really don't welcome me here? "
Mu Bing glanced at him and didn't reply. Instead, he continued to toast the guests. This action was undoubtedly very clear. Yue Qianchou was so angry that his face turned red. His body trembled uncontrollably, and the wine in his wine glass was already sloshing out. He raised his voice again and asked, "President Mu! Could it be that you really don't welcome me here? "
Gray Cloud Xin stood up and sneered. "What kind of place is this? What kind of occasion is this? Who dares to make such a fuss here?"
Mu Bing turned to look at the two golden-robed guards behind him and said indifferently, "There are so many guests today. Don't let anyone disturb the Grand Commander's business." The two golden-robed guards understood and immediately teleported in front of Yue Qianchou's table.
Just as something was about to happen, Da Ming Lun suddenly appeared and blocked in front of the two guards. He stared at them coldly. The two golden-robed guards immediately bowed slightly, not daring to be impudent. Da Ming Lun took the wine jug from one of the men's tray and filled his glass with wine. When he put the glass back, he shouted, "Back off!"
The two of them hurriedly retreated. Da Ming Lun swept his cold gaze over Mu Bing and finally stared at Gray Cloud Xin. He asked indifferently, "Gray Cloud Xin, what are your intentions in sowing discord here? Are you trying to ruin this joyous occasion? Hmph! Today, on account of Wu Xiong's wedding … if you dare to be impudent again, don't blame me for being impolite! "He then raised his glass to Yue Qianchou and said," Sect Leader Yue, please don't blame me for my poor hospitality! "
