Instead, she stood there with her arms crossed, smiling as she looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t loud or exaggerated. Just a simple smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear sign she was congratulating him in her own way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion returned the smile without saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough. He didn’t want her to feel down on a day like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze moved again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side were the guests he had personally invited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from the Solmira Clan stood together in a neat group. Sianor was there, along with Sorien and several others from their clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could recognize them easily, as all of them wore the same style of clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glanced to the side again and paused for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floren had also come. But what caught Garion’s attention wasn’t just his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was who came with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no men beside him. Only women and not one but several of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s eyes lingered for a moment before he looked away. \"...Damn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t say it out loud. But the thought crossed his mind clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just how many were there? And more importantly... could that guy even handle it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chose not to think too deeply about it. He shifted his gaze again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On another side stood Clark with his disciples behind him, along with several elders from his sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood calmly, their posture steady, their presence quiet but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, the Drakenfel Clan. They were easy to spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every one of them had a large build, their bodies solid and trained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their clothes were made from dragon materials, giving off a subtle but clear sense of durability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to how they looked during the war, they were in much better condition now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion watched them for a moment, then something clicked in his mind. \"...So that’s how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed those weren’t their main forces back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the war, the enemy had been the Draconia Clan, a dragon-based faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense that the Drakenfel Clan didn’t send their true core members at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion gave a small nod to himself. \"Yeah... that explains it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, then looked at everyone gathered before him. \"Thank you all for coming to my wedding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd responded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They smiled, some straightened their posture, and many gave a slight bow. \"Congratulations on your wedding, Leader Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled as he heard it. \"I appreciate that all of you took the time to come here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a brief moment, scanning the crowd once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he spoke again. \"So... let’s not wait any longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was calm but decisive. \"Let’s begin the ceremony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff nodded at once and moved into position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft melody quickly spread across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the music started, several guests glanced at each other, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t something they recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythm, the structure, even the tone. It felt different from anything in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few reacted differently. Sianor, Floren, and Clark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately recognized it. It was a wedding song from their original world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor let out a small chuckle. \"Haven’t heard this in a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floren folded his arms, a faint smile forming. \"...Brings back memories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clark gave a small nod. \"Yeah. It’s been a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced at them briefly, catching their reactions. \"...So they noticed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The music continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who didn’t recognize it slowly settled into it. The unfamiliarity didn’t matter anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere shifted naturally, becoming quieter and more focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped in calmly, wearing a wedding dress that fit her perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything about it matched her. The moment Garion saw her, he paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief second, he just looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Damn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word slipped out quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel caught his expression as she walked forward, her steps steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised a brow slightly. \"What? Am I that pretty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a short breath, then smirked. \"Of course you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled. \"...Good answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued walking until she stood in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion adjusted his stance slightly, his gaze still on her. \"...You look different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel tilted her head a little. \"Different?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded. \"...Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short pause. \"...Better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel let out a quiet laugh and shook her head once. \"Careful. You’re not usually this smooth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion shrugged. \"Just stating facts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the side, a voice cut in. \"Then we should proceed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor was already standing between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"...When did you get there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the side, Sorien laughed lightly. \"You were distracted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion exhaled through his nose. \"...Clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at Sianor. \"...You’re the one handling this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor nodded once, hands behind his back. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone remained calm and steady. \"I oversee Grand Factions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze shifted between Garion and Rachel. \"This falls within my responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised a brow. \"...A wedding too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor didn’t hesitate. \"Yes. Especially yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a brief silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at him for a moment longer, then gave a small nod. \"...Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened his posture. \"Let’s do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stepped into position beside him, her expression settling into calm focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor turned slightly toward the crowd, and they quickly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them began to silence, letting the only sound to appear be Sianor’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor smiled and turned back at Garion and Rachel. \"Let’s begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","d3fdfacc589faf0245c9ce3b8eec722f9320f6886cb374d7acf71653bf4af8ce","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-184","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-183",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
