Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

At this moment, Bai Chuan's voice resounded: "Does Sir know him?"

Xu Zhangqing said without turning his head: "I don't know him, just find it strange."

Bai Chuan nodded upon hearing this: "This person is indeed strange."

Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Isn't he one of your Bai Family people?"

Bai Chuan waved his hand and said: "The other party does indeed have the surname Bai, but he is not our Bai Family member; rather, he is someone my eldest son picked up from outside."

Xu Zhangqing was very curious: "What is his name?"

Bai Chuan said in a deep voice: "Bai Ye!"

……

……

Time quickly arrived at dusk.

With the start of the wedding, the entire Bai Family became increasingly lively.

Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, extraordinarily lively.

Cultivators nearby, anyone with a bit of reputation, all came to attend.

Not to mention the Bai Family's overall strength and status, just the fact that the bride comes from the Dongting Immortal Sect is enough to attract many people's curiosity.

Xu Zhangqing and the others left the reception area, even walked out of the Inner Court, and were arranged to the VIP seats in the Outer Court.

At this moment, almost all who came to attend the wedding were here.

Besides the venue being spacious enough, it seems to also have a bit to do with local customs.

"Generally speaking, Immortal Sect disciples rarely marry out; once they go out, if they want to return, unless they become Core Disciples, or the couple separates."

"Zhang Xue doing this is tantamount to giving up her own future."

"Although the Bai Family has status in Qingji Mountain, in the end they are merely a Beast Tamer family!"

Compared to Hu Bugui and the others' surprise.

Xu Zhangqing was instead curious, wanting to know what Bai Xuan actually looks like, what abilities he has, to be able to bring Zhang Xue out from the Immortal Sect.

Without a certain degree of ability, obviously this cannot be done.

Awoo~

With a wolf howl resounding, the entire Bai Family's atmosphere condensed for a moment.

Immediately after, two silver wolves with snow-white fur walked down step by step from the position above the Inner Court, following the stairway.

Their four limbs were sturdy, their torsos massive.

Just by visual estimate, their height was at least over two meters.

Amber-colored pupils, carrying sharp gazes, looked very fierce.

And behind them was another pack of wolves, only they were Green-backed Wolves.

Judging by body type and momentum, they were obviously inferior to the two silver wolves at the front.

Each of their chests was tied with a rope, pulling behind them an exquisitely crafted red wooden carriage.

As the night wind blew the curtains, two people could be seen sitting inside.

The one on the left, many people recognized, was precisely the Dongting Immortal Sect's Zhang Xue.

Her features were originally exquisite, her appearance even more pure and lovely.

Now slightly dressed up, she added a touch of alluring charm.

Hu Bugui clicked his tongue in amazement: "This Central Region wedding, indeed differs from our Dongyu.

Over our side they wear red clothes, but over here they actually wear brocade robes."

The wolf pack pulled the wooden carriage around the venue for a circle, unknown whether they were patrolling their territory or letting everyone see them, only then did they stop.

Immediately after, several Bai Family women ran forward, carefully helping the groom and bride down from inside.

Only at this moment did everyone see clearly Bai Xuan's overall appearance.

About thirty years old, height one meter nine.

Figure tall and straight, broad shoulders and thick back.

Wearing a set of the Bai Family's signature gray-silver gradient brocade robe.

Collar open, revealing a light blue wolf head tattoo at the collarbone.

Brow bones high, brow ends slanting upward.

Nose bridge high and straight, lips slightly thin.

Atop his head a hairpin made of wolf bone fixed his hair, behind his ears hung two strands of loose hair.

Left wrist wore a string of wolf tooth beads.

Right hand gripped a wolf bone staff half a person's height.

Their seating position happened to be directly opposite Xu Zhangqing and the others.

One on the left side.

One on the right side.

In the middle were Bai Chuan and other Bai Family people.

And expanding outward, surrounding the entire square, were the guests who came to attend the wedding.

Zhang Xue looked ahead, and just then caught sight of that familiar face, leaving her stunned.

Their gazes met, and Xu Zhangqing picked up the wine cup on the table, raising it toward her while sending a voice transmission: "Congratulations!"

In an instant, Zhang Xue's expression grew complex, faint tears glimmering in her eyes, but she still smiled in the end: "Thank you for coming to my wedding!"

Bai Xuan noticed and asked in a low voice: "Xue'er, why are you crying?"

Zhang Xue took a deep breath: "Xuan-ge, don't make me regret this decision!"

Bai Xuan quickly made a promise: "Rest assured, I will never let you down."

At this moment, Bai Chuan stood up, holding a wine cup in one hand, and said loudly: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the wedding of my eldest son Bai Xuan and my daughter-in-law Zhang Xue."

"Today we shall drink, and drink heartily!"

"Congratulations!"

The next second, the surrounding people all raised their wine cups and began offering blessings.

After finishing a cup, Bai Chuan gave a meaningful look to the person beside him.

The latter, namely the steward Bai Yan, immediately stood up; although there was a hint of unwillingness in his gaze toward Bai Xuan, he still smiled and said: "Next, the groom shall first dance with the Spirit Wolf, then perform the Flesh-cutting Rite."

This Flesh-cutting Rite is an old rule of the Bai Family.

Using the meat of hunted demonic beasts, they conduct the sacrificial rite.

Symbolizing that the descendants share food and guard the clan together with the wolves.

The one dancing is no one else.

It is precisely this time's groom, Bai Xuan.

Under the moonlight, he wore a gray-silver robe gradually turning into a brocade robe.

The two snow-white silver wolves at the beginning appeared once more.

Bai Xuan misstepped, and the silver wolf "Treading Snow" on his left immediately leaped in sync, its four paws landing right beside his feet.

With another raise of his hand, the silver wolf "Frost Fang" on his right lightly swept its tail across the hem of the brocade robe, as if keeping rhythm.

The movements of one man and two wolves had not a hitch; they did not look like dancing at all, but rather a display of tacit understanding forged over years of cooperation.

Zhao Ziyue nodded slightly: "It is said in books that because the Central Region is unstable, wedding customs differ by region here."

"What we see should be the wedding procedure unique to the Bai Family."

This dance lasted for about half an incense stick of time.

Afterwards, the Bai Family people carried a metal cage to the center of the square.

Everyone looked closely and found that inside was actually a tiger demon.

It was captured alive three days ago when the Bai Family's Spirit Wolf Team patrolled Qingji Mountain, deliberately starved for three days, all to make it appear more fierce during the Flesh-cutting Rite.

"As expected of the Bai Family, they actually caught a tiger demon!"

"Looks like the Flesh-cutting Rite is coming!"

"I wonder who it will be given to first?"

The crowd was extremely excited.

As the cage door opened, this tiger demon, starved for a long time, drooled while squeezing out from inside.

Its gaze locked tightly on the two silver wolves and the human ahead.

By now it was starved to the extreme, caring nothing else.

It immediately pounced, preparing to feast heartily.

Zhang Xue saw this and subconsciously gripped her sleeve cuff, a flicker of nervousness flashing in her eyes.

Fortunately, the man and wolves cooperated with tacit understanding; not only did they dodge the attack in an instant, they even swarmed it together.

Bai Xuan held a short saber in his hand; at the moment of approaching the tiger demon, a cold light flashed in his hand, and he immediately cut off a piece of bloody, steaming tiger meat.

Roar!

The tiger demon howled in pain.

But the next second it was interrupted by the two silver wolves.

Treading Snow bit the tiger demon's foreleg, while Frost Fang went around behind and slapped toward the tiger demon's waist and abdomen with its claws; the two wolves cooperated with tacit understanding, giving the tiger demon no chance to counterattack at all.

Bai Xuan turned around, holding the cut tiger meat, and walked step by step to the VIP seats where Xu Zhangqing and the others were; holding it up with both hands, he said earnestly: "Thank you to the various Dao Friends of Dongting Immortal Sect for attending my and Xue'er's wedding; this first cut of meat is presented to you!"

Su Jinli, Yu Shi, Zhang Su and others all looked toward Xu Zhangqing.

After all, he was the backbone of the group.

Xu Zhangqing, seeing the situation, had no choice but to stand up, but did not directly touch it; instead he released a wisp of spiritual power, lightly supporting the tiger meat, then said indifferently: "Bai Dao Friend is too courteous; I accept this gift on behalf of Dongting Immortal Sect, and also wish the two newlyweds a smooth and prosperous marriage!"
