Below the banquet, a group of people whispered to Xiao Chao and Su Xin with ambiguous smiles on their faces. Su Xin and Xiao Chao, on the other hand, didn't feel anything. In any case, they would soon find out why the two of them were sitting together.
The faces of the Dugu clan darkened. After all, Xiao Chao was Dugu Yan's wife, but now she was flirting with Su Xin. What was going on?
This was especially so for Dugu Yan. His expression was extremely ugly.
In fact, he felt that Xiao Chao and Su Xin could not have that kind of relationship. After all, he and Xiao Chao had been husband and wife for more than 20 years. If Xiao Chao and Su Xin really had that kind of relationship, they would not have made it so obvious. Instead, they would have made it so that no one could see it.
However, he was a man after all. How could he not be angry when he heard others talking about his wife marrying another man?
However, today was Xiao Huang's wedding day, and it was also a joyous occasion for the Xiao clan. Xiao Chao was the legitimate daughter of the Xiao clan. If he made a scene at this time, he would be the one to lose face. Even the Xiao clan would think that the Dugu clan did not give them face by making a scene at this time.
Moreover, Su Xin's current power was not to be trifled with. Although Dugu Yan was angry, he could only endure it now.
After a while, there was a sudden burst of noise outside. Su Xin looked back and saw several women walking into the garden.
These women were all dressed in white, and their appearances were elegant and graceful. It was especially so for the woman in the middle. She was dressed in a pure white palace dress, and her body emitted a cold aura. Her appearance was cold and elegant, and her aura was extraordinary, causing others to not dare to look at her directly.
Of course, the most important thing was that this woman actually had the cultivation of the Yang Spirit Realm, which shocked everyone present.
It should be known that the path of martial arts was not absolutely fair. Men who cultivated martial arts had higher achievements than women. Therefore, most of the people who could reach high positions in Jianghu were men.
However, a woman had appeared in front of them, and she actually had the strength of the peak of the Yang Spirit Realm. She even had a faint feeling that she could suppress everyone present. This was a little incredible.
Seeing this woman come in, the Xiao Clan's Seventh Master Xiao Wuji immediately smiled apologetically and came out to welcome her, "So it's the Shadow Bright Moon Palace's Yan Rumeng, Fairy Yan. Please forgive me for not coming out to welcome you."
Hearing Xiao Wuji's words, the people present were in an uproar. The person who appeared in the Xiao Clan was actually the Palace Master of the Reflecting Moon Palace, the Cold Moon Fairy, Yan Rumeng. This was somewhat unexpected. Even Su Xin revealed a surprised expression.
That was because the Shadow Moon Palace was very mysterious in the martial world. Furthermore, it was the only sect that consisted of only women.
Furthermore, even though Yan Rumeng hadn't stepped into the martial world for more than ten years, her reputation in the martial world wasn't small.
In terms of strength, Yan Rumeng was an existence at the peak of the Yang God Realm, and she was currently ranked second on the Earth Rankings. She was the only woman in the top ten of the Earth Rankings.
Previously, before Meng Jingxian advanced to the True Martial Realm, Yan Rumeng was ranked third on the Earth Rankings. Later, as Meng Jingxian advanced to the True Martial Realm, she also advanced to the second place. However, what surprised Su Xin was that there was very little information on her on the Earth Rankings. It should be said that there was almost no key information.
Only the Bright Moon Heart Sutra, the basic cultivation method of the Reflecting Moon Palace, was written. Furthermore, there was no battle record at all. It was as if the Six Fan School was deliberately covering up the information for her. This was incredible.
Su Xin was sure that Yan Rumeng definitely knew Tie Zhan or Tie Ao. Otherwise, they wouldn't destroy the fairness of the Earth Rankings for Yan Rumeng and only hide her information.
Moreover, when Yan Rumeng appeared in the Jianghu, she was quite famous. She was one of the four great beauties of the Jianghu alongside Xiao Chao, and her reputation was even greater than Xiao Chao's. At that time, countless heroes of the Jianghu fought to pursue her. Unfortunately, Yan Rumeng was determined to pursue martial arts and did not accept anyone's love. Instead, she directly returned to the Reflecting Moon Palace to take over the position of Palace Master and prepared to spend the rest of her life.
In the past ten years, Yan Rumeng rarely stepped into the Jianghu. She would only leave the Reflecting Moon Palace when some of her old friends invited her.
This time, the Xiao Clan sent an invitation to the Reflecting Moon Palace out of courtesy. They did not expect Yan Rumeng to really come.
Xiao Wuji vaguely felt that something was wrong. They thought that Su Xin would not come, but in the end, Su Xin came.
They thought that Yan Rumeng would not come, but in the end, she also came. There were so many people who should not come. Did the Xiao Clan have so much face now?
However, it was a joyous day for the Xiao Clan, so Xiao Wuji did not think too much. He directly welcomed Yan Rumeng in with a very respectful attitude.
Although Yan Rumeng was a woman, even Xiao Wuji did not have much confidence in facing her.
Most importantly, Yan Rumeng was the Palace Master of the Reflecting Moon Palace. In the past, she had countless suitors in the Jianghu. For example, Di Jingfei of the Zheng Sword Alliance was one of Yan Rumeng's suitors. They even seemed to have a relationship, but in the end, nothing happened.
It could be said that although this woman seemed to be low-key, her connections in the Jianghu were extremely powerful. Even the Xiao Clan had to be polite to her.
After another hour or so, most of the people who should come had arrived. As the host of the wedding, Xiao Wuji finally announced the start of the wedding.
However, when the Shangguan clan's first wife's daughter walked out, Su Xin almost spat out the wine in his mouth on the spot.
Because everyone was from the Jianghu, they were more straightforward in their actions. Even though the Xiao Clan was the royal family in the past, the wedding was naturally less cumbersome. The bride did not cover her head and was directly brought up to the stage by the Shangguan clan's people.
However, when the Shangguan clan's first wife's daughter went up to the stage, everyone present was stunned for a few breaths of time. There was suddenly a dead silence. The reason was very simple: the Shangguan clan's first wife's daughter, Shangguan Feng, was really too ugly!
The Shangguan clan's first wife's daughter, Shangguan Feng, was short and fat. She had small eyes and a flat nose, and her skin was dark. When she stood next to the handsome Xiao Huang, she looked very out of place.
Su Xin had a strange expression as he sent a voice transmission to Xiao Chuo. "Are you sure this is the Shangguan clan's first wife's daughter?"
It was not that Su Xin judged people by their appearance, but under normal circumstances, the Shangguan clan's first wife's daughter would definitely not look like this.
The Shangguan clan was a big family with thousands of years of history. In terms of heritage, it was even longer than the Xiao Clan. Therefore, the Shangguan clan paid the most attention to bloodline inheritance. Every generation of the Shangguan clan's disciples was handsome. The wives they married were also the daughters of the various families, and their appearances were not bad.
Therefore, after so many years, the Shangguan clan's disciples were all good-looking, and some of them were even considered ugly.
The Shangguan Feng in front of him was so ugly that it was impossible for her to be the Shangguan clan's first wife's daughter. Of course, unless her mother was also ugly. However, the problem was, would the Shangguan clan's master, Shangguan Zhaoyun, marry an ugly girl? This was obviously not very possible.
Xiao Chuo explained with a faint smile, "Don't be surprised, she is the Shangguan clan's first wife's daughter.
This child is also a pitiful person. Her mother is the Fanyang Lu clan's first wife's daughter. In the end, when she returned home to visit her relatives, she was ambushed by the Shangguan clan's enemies. Although she was seriously injured and did not die, she was pregnant at that time. Although the fetus was injured, it caused the fetus to be congenitally deficient, which caused Shangguan Feng to look like this. "
Su Xin frowned and said, "Does Shangguan Zhaoyun not have any other daughters? Why must he marry Shangguan Feng to Xiao Huang? Isn't this equivalent to insulting the Xiao Clan? "
In any case, in Su Xin's opinion, letting Xiao Huang marry such an ugly girl was basically equivalent to insulting the Xiao Clan.
Looking at Xiao Huang's expression now, he knew that he usually did not show his emotions, but at this moment, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. There was no joy of a newlywed at all.
Only now did Su Xin understand why Xiao Huang had such an expression when he first came to the Xiao Clan. Clearly, Xiao Huang also knew about Shangguan Feng, which was why he looked like he had nothing left to live for.
Xiao Chuo said, "At that time, Shangguan Zhaoyun's wife was too seriously injured. After giving birth to Shangguan Feng, she lost the ability to have children, so Shangguan Zhaoyun really only has one daughter."
Su Xin said in surprise, "Shangguan Zhaoyun only has one wife? Isn't he a little too infatuated? "
As the head of a large clan, it was not necessary to have a few wives, but at the very least, it was necessary to have a few women to carry on the family line.
It was really rare to have only one woman. Take Dugu Yan for example. Although Xiao Chuo was so domineering, on the surface, he only had one wife, Xiao Chuo, but in reality, he had many women in secret.
Xiao Chuo shook his head and said, "Of course he has more than one woman. It's just that the Shangguan Clan values status the most. Shangguan Zhaoyun's wife is the daughter of the Fanyang Lu Clan. Only her and Shangguan Zhaoyun's children are of the direct line of descent. The rest are only born of concubines.
Even if the Xiao Clan agrees to let the children of concubines marry into the Xiao Clan, the Shangguan Clan will definitely not agree. That's why things have turned out this way. "
Su Xin nodded and looked at Xiao Huang with a hint of incomprehension in his eyes.
He had known Xiao Huang for many years, and this person's fanaticism for power was really not something an ordinary person could compare to.
If it was an ordinary person with Xiao Huang's appearance and status, and they were asked to marry Shangguan Feng, they would probably immediately give up the position of the Xiao Clan's successor.
However, Xiao Huang could endure what others could not. He actually braved the situation and stood on the stage with Shangguan Feng. Su Xin could only say that he admired him.
However, this Xiao Clan was really ruthless. First, they used Xiao Chuo to exchange for the rights to the Martial Arts Relic for ten years. Then, they used Xiao Huang to exchange for it. They simply traded their own disciples like goods. Were they not afraid that the Xiao Clan's disciples would resent them?
Right now, Xiao Chuo hated the Xiao Clan to the core. Even if Xiao Chuo did not make a move, perhaps in the future, Xiao Huang would also resent Shangguan Feng, the ugly girl, every day.
At this moment, Xiao Wuji also invited the Xiao Clan's old ancestor. Accompanying him was the Shangguan Clan's Yang God Realm Great Elder, Shangguan Qi. After Xiao Huang and Shangguan Feng's ceremony was completed, the six great clans would make a move and unseal the Martial Arts Relic at the same time.
