Ten days later.
Spirit Star River, Jiang Star. In a courtyard, a teleportation array opened and a figure walked out. It was Lu An.
It was now midnight. Although there was no day and night in the Spirit Star River, it had the same strict concept of time as the Heavenly Star River. Six days ago, Lu An returned to Jiang Star and learned that Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao's wedding date was set to be seven days later, which was today. But he did not come earlier, but came at midnight today. His purpose was to not cause any trouble.
That's right, he was afraid of Jiang Xiao causing trouble.
This woman's feelings for him made him unsure. Although it was relatively peaceful six days ago, no one could guarantee that nothing would happen today. Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao's wedding was a big event. It was very important to the Jiang clan and also very important to Lu An. Therefore, he came now to minimize contact with Jiang Xiao and reduce the woman's emotions.
Lu An naturally appeared in Jiang Xiao's courtyard. There was no other way. In the eyes of others, he was after all Jiang Xiao's puppet. Since he was already here, he could not leave too far. Otherwise, it would arouse suspicion. He walked into the palace. At this time, Jiang Xiao was dressing up. Half of her wedding dress was already put on. Only the outermost shawl and dress was left.
When Lu An appeared, several maids bowed. After all, Lu An's identity was different from them. He was much nobler than them. His strength was also not something they could compare with. They all greeted, "Young master Chu."
Jiang Xiao naturally also noticed Lu An's arrival. When she heard the maids call Lu An 'Young master Chu', her heart trembled. Sitting in front of the dressing table, she turned to look at Lu An.
Beautiful.
Jiang Xiao was really beautiful.
Jiang Xiao was originally a beauty. The luxurious wedding dress set off her noble temperament to the extreme. Looking from afar, she was like a queen, causing people to revere her. This temperament was a thousand miles away. One could only look at her from afar and not touch her.
"Young miss." Lu An opened his mouth. His voice was very calm.
In the past few days, Jiang Xiao had been waiting for Lu An's arrival, and she was even constantly wondering when Lu An would come. The more she waited, the more disappointed she became. But the more disappointed she became, the more hopeful she became. She really didn't expect Chu Xing to be so heartless to only come on the last day. But this was better than Chu Xing not coming at all.
After Lu An finished his greeting, he wanted to leave the room. But just as he was about to explain, Jiang Xiao spoke first.
"Stay here and don't go out," Jiang Xiao said.
Lu An's heart skipped a beat. There were many maidservants at the scene, and he couldn't go against Jiang Xiao's wishes in front of so many people, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Thus, Lu An walked to a corner and sat down. Lu An's position was the furthest away from Jiang Xiao in the entire room. Although the distance was very far, when Lu An sat down, he realized that he could be seen in the mirror on Jiang Xiao's dressing table. Furthermore … Jiang Xiao was indeed looking at him through the mirror.
Lu An's heart sank. He did not look in Jiang Xiao's direction, nor did he look in any other direction. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
According to the customs of the Spirit Race, a wedding was usually in the morning, and there would be a luncheon at noon. But to large factions or clans, a marriage alliance was a very important matter, so the luncheon would last until the afternoon, and even be connected to the evening banquet. After the evening banquet, it would be time for the two newlyweds to consummate their marriage, and no one would disturb them.
Lu An cultivated through meditation, and during the entire process, he did not open his eyes even once, causing Jiang Xiao, who had always been concerned about him, to be very disappointed. But Lu An's choice was very correct. Jiang Xiao had wanted to talk to Lu An many times, and even wanted to send the maidservants away. As long as Lu An looked at her, she would have the courage to do so. But it was precisely because Lu An never looked at her that she did not have the courage to do so.
Thus … the maidservants came in and out, and even the members of the Jiang Clan came to visit Jiang Xiao. The clan head, Jiang Huai, and Jiang Xiao's three younger brothers had all come to visit. When Jiang Ping arrived, he noticed Lu An sitting in the corner with his eyes closed, as if meditating. But he could only shake his head regretfully.
Finally, the time gradually passed from midnight to morning. Everything was ready, and Jiang Xiao had already put on the complete wedding dress.
The wedding dress was very big, and there was a huge fan-shaped trailing group behind it. However, this trailing group did not need anyone to help open it, and did not need Jiang Xiao to release her own power to control it, although it was as easy as blowing dust for a Heaven Tier warrior. This wedding dress had its own power, and could be controlled and maintained in various states at will.
Jiang Xiao had already come from her courtyard to the main hall in the center of the royal city, and all the important figures of the Jiang Clan were present. The three Heavenly Kings of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Huai's three sons, and the other members of the Jiang Clan who were going to attend the wedding banquet were also prepared, waiting for the members of the Ning Clan to come and receive them.
In the morning, a huge spatial fluctuation appeared in the central plaza, which almost covered the entire plaza horizontally. A group of people walked out from it.
Everything for the wedding banquet was naturally prepared by the Ning Clan. A huge spirit beast walked out from the spatial fluctuation, and it was a Heaven Tier spirit beast. This spirit beast was extremely beautiful. Although its body was mainly blood-red, there were feathers of other colors, which were embedded on its body like gemstones. Moreover, this spirit beast's voice was very pleasant to the ears. After it arrived, it let out a long cry. It was very loud, but not sharp. Instead, it was very pleasing to the ears, making people feel happy.
The members of the Ning Clan walked out. Other than Ning Ji, two of Ning Tiancang's children came as well. They were Ning Tiancang's eldest son, Ning Xingzhou, and his second daughter, Ning Ling. Not only that, but there was also a Heavenly King Realm expert, Ning Quanchong. In terms of seniority, he was the uncle of Ning Xingzhou, Ning Ling, and Ning Ji. The wedding banquet could not only have the younger generation, so he came as an elder.
Jiang Huai had seen Ning Quanchong before. Ning Quanchong was a very important figure in the Ning Clan, even in the Heavenly King Realm. He quickly led everyone to greet him, and came to the plaza to greet him. He said happily, "I didn't expect Brother Quanchong to come. Please excuse me for not coming out to meet you!"
"Ai, don't say that!" Ning Quanchong laughed and said, "Today is a good day for our two clans. In the future, we will be in-laws. There's no need for so many polite words. Don't regard me as an outsider!"
"Haha, Brother Quanchong is right. I'm stupid!" Jiang Huai was also happy and said with a smile.
If it was any other day, no one had the right to interrupt their conversation. However, it was different today. They were not the main characters today. Both of them knew very well that. After a simple exchange, Ning Quanchong turned around and said, "Ning Ji, are you still not going to speak?!"
Ning Ji understood and quickly walked out from the crowd. He quickly walked to Jiang Huai and bowed. He quickly said, "Father-in-law, please accept a bow from your son-in-law!"
Hearing the word "Father-in-law", Jiang Huai immediately smiled from ear to ear and said loudly, "Quickly, get up!"
Ning Ji stood up and immediately looked behind the Jiang Clan's people. This was because Jiang Xiao was not among the Jiang Clan's people in the plaza.
Jiang Huai naturally knew what Ning Ji was looking at anxiously. He looked at Ning Quanchong and the two of them laughed. Jiang Huai did not delay. He turned around and looked at the palace behind him. He said loudly, "Invite the Eldest Miss out!"
Immediately, a blood-red halo appeared in the palace. Following that, two rows of maids flew out. Moreover, a faint blood-red ribbon was formed among the maids, as if forming a path in the air.
Following that, Jiang Xiao appeared and walked on this path.
She was really walking and not flying. Jiang Xiao stepped lightly on the road and walked towards the people of the two clans.
So beautiful!
So elegant!
Even Ning Xingzhou and Ning Ling could not help but praise Jiang Xiao in their hearts. They had to admit that Ning Ji's taste was indeed very good. Not only was Jiang Xiao beautiful, but she was also very beautiful. This kind of temperament was rarely seen even in the top clans.
Under the gazes of the two clans, Jiang Xiao finally arrived in front of everyone. She stood in front of the Jiang Clan's people and said to Jiang Huai, "Father."
Following that, Jiang Xiao looked at the Ning Clan's people. She had seen Ning Xingzhou and Ning Ling before. She said, "Greetings, Elder Brother and Elder Sister."
"This is Ning Quanchong, the Ning Clan's Lord's brother." Jiang Huai immediately introduced.
"Senior." Jiang Xiao had never seen Ning Quanchong before. She immediately bowed and said, "Forgive me for being rude."
"Ignorance is bliss. There's nothing rude about it!" Ning Quanchong was obviously very happy. He rarely came to fetch a bride on behalf of his elders, so he was excited from the bottom of his heart. He said, "She's here. Let's go now!"
