Three days later, almost all the people who should have come to the Cui Clan to congratulate them had arrived. The Xiao Clan also officially sent a team to escort the bride.
Although the Cui Clan had declined, the Xiao Clan's power was still there. The lineup for the bride was quite large. The betrothal gift for the Cui Clan was a carriage pulled by four horses. There were more than a hundred carriages, making for a spectacular scene.
Moreover, in order to marry the Cui Clan's first wife's daughter, the Xiao Clan invited a famous Jianghu figure in Qinghe River, Mount Myriad Flow Lord, Sima Yan, to preside over the marriage.
Sima Yan was a peak Harmonious Spirit Realm expert. When he was young, he was already a famous rogue cultivator in Qinghe River. He was a righteous person and had a good relationship with many forces in Qinghe River.
Moreover, Sima Yan cultivated in seclusion at Mount Myriad Flow after he entered his old age. He never left his house and would only ask Sima Yan to mediate when there was a big dispute in Qinghe River.
The Cui Clan and the Xiao Clan wanted to ask Sima Yan to preside over the marriage, but Sima Yan declined.
However, the Xiao Clan had a lot of face. The person that the Cui Clan didn't invite was immediately accepted by the Xiao Clan.
At the same time, there were many rogue cultivators in Qinghe River who came to join in the fun.
Today was a joyous occasion for the marriage between the Cui Clan and the Xiao Clan. Even if it was for good luck, the Cui Clan and the Xiao Clan had to throw out some red envelopes.
Seeing how rich the Xiao Clan was, the red envelopes that they threw out were not some common things like gold and silver, but some precious cultivation resources.
Seeing the grand scene outside, the Cui Clan's leader and the others all revealed a smile.
The current leader of the Cui Clan, Cui Nanting, was Magistrate Cui's uncle. The other two Harmonious Spirit Realm experts of the Cui Clan were even older, two generations older than Cui Nanting. They probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Because of this, they thought of ways to form a marriage alliance with the Xiao Clan. They fought for the Xiao Clan's protection before the next generation of the Cui Clan grew up.
In fact, the Cui Clan of Qinghe River was already very lucky. They didn't have any direct competitors in Qinghe River.
If it had been one of the two top forces, the Qinghe Cui Clan would have been swallowed up long ago if it was so weak.
The wedding procession of the Xiao Family came. An old man with white hair and beard, who looked like an immortal, walked onto the stage. He smiled and cupped one hand in the other before his chest, saying, "Today is the wedding day of the Cui Family of Qinghe and the Xiao Family of Jiangnan. I am indebted to both sides for inviting me to preside over this marriage. I hope you can give me some face."
The warriors below hurriedly cupped their hands in greeting, especially the warriors from the Qinghe River Sect.
Sima Yan's prestige in the Clear River Sect was very high. This was not just for the sects of the martial arts circle, but also for the local independent cultivators.
If some of the local rogue cultivators came to his Myriad Flow Mountain because they had offended those martial arts sects, Sima Yan would come forward to mediate. At the very least, he would protect their lives.
Whenever Sima Yan met an outstanding talent of the younger generation, regardless of whether the other party was a descendant of a major faction or a loose cultivator, as long as he felt that the other party had a good temperament, he would step forward and give them some pointers.
Because of this, after so many years of accumulation, Sima Yan's prestige in the Clear River Sect was even higher than that of the Cui Family of Qinghe.
Sima Yan smiled and said, "The Xiao Family of Jiangnan is famous throughout the world, and the Cui Family used to be a large clan of my Clear River Sect. The marriage between these two families can be said to bring out the best in each other, and it will be a good story to tell. So, let's welcome the outstanding talent of the Xiao Family to the stage first."
As Sima Yan finished speaking, a pale-faced young man who was trembling as he walked was helped onto the stage. His eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost his mind.
Seeing this person from the Xiao Family walk onto the stage, everyone present immediately fell silent. What was going on? Was this the Xiao Family disciple who was going to marry the daughter of the Cui Family's first wife?
However, no matter how they looked at him, he looked like a mentally ill cripple. They could not even sense the slightest aura of a warrior from him. He was no different from an ordinary person.
At this moment, someone suddenly said in a low voice, "I know who he is! He is the genius of the Xiao Family, Xiao Sui! The previous generation's sixth on the Ranking List of Young Masters, Xiao Sui! "
At the mention of this name, everyone present had some impression of him, and they all remembered who he was.
Xiao Sui was a disciple of the Xiao Family of the same generation as Xiao Huang, but because he was older than Xiao Huang by more than ten years, he was ranked in the previous generation of the Ranking List of Young Masters.
In the previous generation of the Ranking List of Young Masters, Xiao Sui, who was from the Xiao Family of Jiangnan, was also outstanding. He was ranked sixth on the Ranking List of Young Masters when he was in his twenties, and even before Xiao Huang grew up, he was the leader of the younger generation of the Xiao Family.
However, Xiao Sui had once mistakenly entered an ancient relic and learned a secret technique without permission, which led to Qi deviation. Not only was his martial arts completely destroyed, but his mind was also affected, and he was no different from an idiot.
Now, the Xiao Family actually wanted this kind of person to marry the daughter of the Cui Family. This was simply an insult to the Cui Family. How could the Cui Family agree to this?
However, when everyone looked at the people from the Cui Family, they found that there was no anger on their faces, only some embarrassment.
Not only them, but even Sima Yan also had an awkward expression on his face. Seeing this, some of the smarter ones already understood what they meant.
The Xiao Family wanted Xiao Sui to come forward and marry the daughter of the Cui Family, probably for the sake of the Cui Family's bloodline.
The bloodline of the Xiao Family was not like the Cui Family and the Su Family, which had all kinds of special abilities. The so-called bloodline of the Xiao Family was just a powerful bloodline formed by the marriage of the descendants of the Xiao Family and countless powerful warriors. The descendants of the Xiao Family were born with higher talent than ordinary warriors.
Although Xiao Sui was now a cripple, it was undeniable that his talent was really strong, even much stronger than the current Xiao Huang.
Of course, such a powerful bloodline could not be wasted. Although his martial arts were crippled, his foundation was still there, and he could still give birth to children for the Xiao Family.
They wanted Xiao Sui to marry the daughter of the Cui Family, this was simply making use of trash, just for Xiao Sui to marry the descendants of the Cui Family.
Everyone who had guessed the truth could not help but feel a little cold.
No wonder the Xiao Family could become the head of the six great families, and was even the royal family of Jiangnan in the past. This method of using their own descendants as tools was really not something an ordinary family could do.
Moreover, the daughter of the Cui Family was even more miserable than Xiao Sui.
Marrying such a trash, she was probably just a breeding machine in the Xiao Family, without the slightest bit of power.
Even looking at Xiao Sui's current state, he would not live for long, and there was even the possibility of him becoming a widow.
This method of the Cui Family was simply to sell their daughter, which made everyone present somewhat despise the behavior of the Cui Family.
If the Cui Family could do such a thing, it was no wonder that the Cui Family had declined so badly.
However, for the current Cui Family, the so-called face was not as important as the actual benefits.
On the stage, Si Mayan's expression was a little ugly. As the host of this marriage, he naturally knew about this matter.
That was why when the Cui Family came to find Si Mayan, Si Mayan refused. After all, this matter was not good to say, and Si Mayan did not want to participate in this kind of thing, lest he lose his integrity in his old age.
However, later on, the Xiao Family personally came to ask Si Mayan to take action, and Si Mayan could not refuse.
Looking at the crowd below, Si Mayan coughed a little awkwardly and said, "Let's welcome the daughter of the Cui Family."
Now, he could not wait to host this marriage as soon as possible and return to his Ten Thousand Flow Mountain. Next time, even if the Xiao Family came forward, he would not participate in this kind of thing.
When the Cui Family disciples below the stage heard Si Mayan's words, they immediately pushed up a young woman who was also slightly pale, but had a delicate appearance.
This young woman's expression was slightly panicked, and it was obvious that she was not prepared for today's marriage at all.
However, seeing this young woman pushed up, the crowd below immediately flared up again, because this young woman also did not have the slightest trace of internal strength.
However, it was not that her martial arts had been abolished, but that she was an ordinary person who had not cultivated martial arts at all.
At this time, everyone present was a little confused. What the hell was the Cui Family and the Xiao Family doing? Making an ordinary person without the slightest bit of strength and a cripple marry?
However, some of the Clear River Sect's martial artists were well-informed, and in the blink of an eye, they thought of this young woman's identity, and hurriedly said in a low voice, "She is the daughter of the Cui Family's elder, Cui Daoheng, Cui Yueling. Tsk tsk, this Cui Family is really ruthless, they simply want to force the Cui Family's main bloodline to death."
Speaking up to here, this person also gave a detailed account of the matter of Cui Daoheng's bloodline to the surrounding people, and finally he shook his head and sighed, "This matter of the Cui Family has really gone too far. If they had married the daughter of the Cui Family over, then it would have been fine. At most, she would have become a widow in the future.
However, by marrying Cui Yueling over, they are deliberately making her lose her life!
Cui Yueling's bloodline is born with a defect, so not only can she not cultivate, but even if she receives some stimulation, such as swallowing some slightly stronger medicinal pills, she will not be able to withstand it.
Now that she has married into the Xiao Family, it can be said that the moment her child is born, it will be the moment of her death. She will die before Xiao Sui. "
As soon as they heard the detailed analysis of this person, the surrounding people immediately burst into an uproar. This time, the Cui Family had really gone too far than what they had imagined.
What did the Cui Family and the Xiao Family mean by doing this? Recycling trash?
One of them was only left with talent, but was a cripple who had lost his mind.
And the other was the descendant of the main bloodline that had been pushed out by the Cui Family. Although he had the bloodline of the Cui Family, he could not cultivate, and was even worse than a cripple.
These two people did not mean anything to the two families, and now that the two of them had married, it was actually the same as making use of trash.
The Cui Family could obtain the protection of the Xiao Family, and the Xiao Family could obtain a child with the bloodline of the Cui Family.
It seemed like a win-win situation, but the result was built on the misfortune of Cui Yueling and Xiao Sui, and Cui Yueling even had to pay with her life. Such a utilitarian decision was somewhat shameful to the people present, especially to the Cui Family.
At this time, Su Xin turned his gaze to Magistrate Cui, who was still standing at the gate of the Cui Family. At this time, Magistrate Cui's body was shining with a faintly discernible black mist, and there seemed to be a power condensing in his body, gloomy and terrifying.
