Chapter 132: Grand Wedding

~8 min read 1,432 words

A few days later, Long Mansion.

The simple and vicissitudinous mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere today. Red silk hung everywhere, extending all the way to the end of the street.

Outside the door, firecrackers bought from traveling merchants were set off. The gray-blue smoke emitted a smell of gunpowder, and from time to time, children ran past quickly holding sugar figures.

"Fourth Uncle! Fourth Uncle! Is it ready yet! Hurry up!"

Long Yuesheng's voice sounded outside the courtyard, filled with urgency, as he walked straight into the courtyard.

Qin Jiang pushed the door open and walked out, having already changed into a festive red robe.

"Brother Long, how do I look in this? Do I need to change into another one to see?"

He asked, adjusting his hat, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"Oh! My Fourth Uncle! You've been at it all morning! You've exhausted the matchmaker! The guests outside have all arrived!"

As he spoke, Long Yuesheng stepped forward, grabbed Qin Jiang's arm, and walked out.

Qin Jiang looked back at the room door. "Aunt Zhao, sorry, I've troubled you."

"Fourth Master is too polite, it's no trouble," the middle-aged woman in front of the door said.

Arriving at the main hall, there were already quite a few people there. Excluding the prominent families, they were basically the actual controllers of all major trades.

"The groom is here! Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Fourth Master! Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Fourth Master! On your happy union with the Xu family daughter!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

As soon as Qin Jiang arrived, the room boiled over. They congratulated Qin Jiang one after another, and Qin Jiang responded to each one.

"Brother Long, what do I need to do next?" he asked in a low voice. After all, it was his first time, and he wasn't familiar with the process.

Long Yuesheng pursed his lips. "Uh... even if you ask me... Hey! That's right! Third Uncle definitely knows! I'll go ask him! You wait!"

With that, he walked away. This job of accompanying the groom was really not a good job! He had to let Third Uncle do it!

After he left, Qin Jiang dealt with the guests alone, controlling his stiff muscles to force a smile.

A moment later, Long Daosheng and another person walked in. When Qin Jiang saw the person, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly apologized to the guests and walked straight to greet them.

"Uncle Wang! You're here! Where are the others?" Qin Jiang smiled.

The person who came was Wang Minglang, whom he had entrusted Long An to pick up a few days ago.

"Don't worry, they've all come!" Wang Minglang smiled.

"Oh, oh, good! I'll go take a look," Qin Jiang said, taking the opportunity to escape as if fleeing.

Wang Minglang smiled and shook his head, taking out an old pipe from his robe, then suddenly feeling it was somewhat inappropriate, he put the pipe away.

"Does Brother Wang like pipes? I have a green jade pipe I got from a Rong Kingdom merchant before. I don't know how to use it, so I'll trouble Brother Wang to try it for me and see if it's good."

"Brother Long is too polite, I can't take this."

"Hey~ you're being polite. It's just a pipe, it's not a precious object."

"Boss! Boss!"

As soon as he stepped out the door, Qin Jiang heard shouts from the courtyard. He saw Meng An and Tian Shangfei wearing red and blue brocade robes, looking quite like wealthy young masters.

Qin Jiang walked over quickly. "Did Gang Leader Lu and the elders and hall masters not come?"

"No, the gang's strength has grown tremendously since you left, and people are needed to watch over every place," Meng An said.

Qin Jiang nodded. "Did any trouble arise in the gang after I left?"

"That goes without saying. Boss, your tiger might still remains; no one in the nearby cities dares to oppose us."

Tian Shangfei said. Now, both he and Meng An had mastered the Red Tiger Fist, and it wouldn't be long before they were promoted to hall masters.

In the past, this was something they wouldn't have dared to even imagine!

"Yes, yes, yes! Old Tian is right!" Meng An echoed from the side, then leaned toward Qin Jiang somewhat mysteriously. "Boss, let me tell you something."

Qin Jiang smiled. "What is it? Just say it. Why are you leaning so close to me?"

Meng An shrank his head back sheepishly. "Uh... it's like this. That night, I saw Baiyun Physician."

Qin Jiang was stunned, then looked at him fiercely. "What did you say? You saw the old physician! Isn't the old physician..."

"Yes, I was startled that day too! But later it was confirmed, Baiyun Physician really didn't die," Meng An said.

*Hiss—* Qin Jiang gasped, joy appearing in his eyes. "Then where is the old physician? Why didn't he come together?"

Meng An's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he said somewhat hesitantly: "Uh... this... Baiyun Physician... seems to have left Black Mountain City. Someone saw him leave, but where he went, I don't know."

The smile on Qin Jiang's face faded, but he soon nodded with a smile. "He must be tired. It's good to go out for a walk. If the old physician returns, have someone notify me."

"Eh! Don't worry, Boss! Leave it to me!" Meng An said, patting his chest.

*Clang! Clang! Clang! * The sound of gongs came from outside the courtyard, and two rows of high-held dark purple canopies slowly moved along the street outside the mansion.

Inside the main hall, people from various families walked out one after another.

"Groom! Go welcome the bride!"

Two columns of guards escorted Qin Jiang outside the mansion. Qin Jiang looked at the slowly moving red sedan chair, his mood becoming involuntarily excited.

A moment later, the sedan chair stopped in front of the gate. The matchmaker helped Xu Yanran down. Xu Yanran was in a red dress, wearing a phoenix coronet, her lips painted with bright red rouge, her pair of eyes crystal clear and bright.

Qin Jiang hurriedly stepped forward, and the two held hands and walked into the mansion.

Arriving at the main hall, the guests had already taken their seats. Master Xu and Qin Hong sat in the main seats. Qin Hong appeared somewhat awkward, and Long Daosheng stood beside her, wearing a formal suit.

"The couple has arrived, begin the ceremony!"

Long Daosheng shouted loudly, and the sound of musical instruments instantly rang out in the courtyard, the entire main hall becoming festive and boiling over.

After the wedding vows were spoken, Long Daosheng waved his hand, and specks of golden light dissipated.

"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"

"Second bow to the high hall!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

After the final bow, Qin Jiang sat in the upper seat. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and a heavy might made the hearts of everyone in the hall tremble.

So strong!

Ren Chuan and Yan Lang looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

Such strength was at least that of a Tenth-Rank Secret Martial Artist!

Ren Chuan looked at Qin Jiang, his eyes deep. He hadn't expected this Green Fire Lord to be hiding so deeply; he must have been secretly passed the Golden Light Subduing Demon Fist by the Great Elder.

It was just that such a thing should have been hidden a bit; why suddenly... His pupils shrank, and he looked fiercely outside the main hall. He saw a black cloud spreading from the distant horizon, covering the sky and sun.

Long Daosheng also sensed something was wrong and was about to go outside to investigate, but was attracted by a suppressed laugh.

Looking in the direction of the sound, at the location of the Liu family, Liu Xiangyi stood up at some point, his arms spread slightly.

"Finally here... finally here! Hahahaha!"

Everyone was attracted by this laughter and couldn't help but look at Liu Xiangyi.

"Family Head Liu, what do you want to do?" Long Daosheng's expression was gloomy, and golden light gradually gathered in his palm.

If Liu Xiangyi couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, he wouldn't mind taking action to suppress him.

"Hehehehe... Long Daosheng, it's too late, you can't stop it anymore."

Liu Xiangyi's body couldn't stop trembling. After waiting for so many years, he had finally waited for this day.
