Chapter 246: Jian Chen's Grand Wedding

Following Duan Fengyun being pushed to the position of the number one person in the martial arts world, the Dragon Gate has also been continuously growing; today, the strength of the Dragon Gate has already surpassed the former Heaven Gate and World Society, reaching an unprecedented status.

After a bout of drinking until they were drunk, the master and disciple Wuming and Jian Chen returned to Zhonghua Lou early the next morning.

As for Huaikong and Bai Ling, in order for Huaimie to be able to drink their wedding wine, they specifically held their wedding at the Dragon Gate.

After the wedding was completed, Huaikong and Bai Ling left the Dragon Gate and returned to Tiexin Island.

Today's Dragon Gate has already possessed another branch, and for the master of this other branch, Duan Fengyun let Huaimie take the role.

Among the old faces of the Dragon Gate, there are only four people capable of going to the branch.

Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and Qin Shuang have always been the type to be hands-off managers; letting them go be branch masters is absolutely impossible.

Although Wen Chou Chou does things personally, his martial arts skills are ultimately a bit lacking, so after careful consideration, Duan Fengyun let Huaimie become the branch master.

As for the location of the branch, Huaimie is also very familiar with it—the former Heaven Gate.

The Dragon Gate is in the south, and the Heaven Gate branch is in the north; with the existence of the Heaven Gate branch, Duan Fengyun does not need to worry about the Dragon Gate being unable to arrive in time if something happens in the north.

Regarding Huaimie, Duan Fengyun is ten thousand percent at ease.

A person like Huaimie is a martial arts fanatic; when Duan Fengyun had Huaimie go to the Heaven Gate branch to be the master, he gave the complete Heart Sutra to Huaimie and promised Huaimie one opportunity every year to spar with him.

Under the temptation of the Heart Sutra and sparring with Duan Fengyun, Huaimie immediately agreed to take the position of Heaven Gate branch master.

As for the complete Heart Sutra, the calculating Xu Fu naturally would not leave behind any records.

Duan Fengyun based it on the half of the Heart Sutra provided by Huaimie, combined with Duan Fengyun's current understanding, to re-create a version of the Heart Sutra.

Duan Fengyun gave this Heart Sutra, which he had improved, to Huaimie, Youruo, Chuchu, Ding Ning, Di Er Meng, Qin Shuang, and others.

When he gave it to Long Er, Long Er directly refused.

Long Er believes that if a Martial Artist cannot live out their value, then living for a long time is useless, so he does not practice the Heart Sutra.

The three incarnations of Jiansheng were all due to his obsession with the sword path, so this lifetime's Long Er is still full of obsession for the sword path and has no interest in eternal life at all.

As for Xiao Wuyou, Xiao Ruoruo, and Xiao Butian, the thoughts of Duan Fengyun and Bu Jingyun are the same.

Duan Fengyun and Bu Jingyun believe that if the three little ones, Xiao Wuyou and the others, want to venture into the pugilistic world, they must learn to bleed.

If they cannot feel the bloody pugilistic world after learning the Heart Sutra, it will not be good for their path of martial arts.

Therefore, before the three little ones understand the blood and slaughter of the pugilistic world, Duan Fengyun and Bu Jingyun will not teach them the Heart Sutra.

What is happy is that not long after, good news came from Di Er Meng and Ding Ning.

After playing with the three little ones, Xiao Wuyou and the others, every day, Nie Feng and Qin Shuang are finally about to welcome their own little babies.

And half a year later, a smiling Jian Chen arrived at the Dragon Gate.

Looking at Jian Chen, whose face was overflowing with the smile of love, Duan Fengyun knew that Jian Chen must have good news.

He teased:

"Brother Jian Chen, looking at your appearance, you must be here to bring us good news."

Jian Chen touched his head embarrassedly and said:

"Brother Duan, you really are as wise as a god.

I am here today to invite you all to Zhonghua Lou on the eighth of next month to drink my wedding wine."

As soon as Jian Chen said this, it shocked the others.

Nie Feng jumped out directly, put his arm around Jian Chen's shoulder, and said:

"Jian Chen, you are something.

It has only been half a year, and you are actually getting married.

Quickly tell us the bride's name, and how you two met."

Jian Chen smiled awkwardly:

"Speaking of which, it is a coincidence; the four of you brothers should know the bride.

The bride's name is Ziling, and she said that the four of you brothers are her family's benefactors; you should know her."

The four brothers of Duan Fengyun looked at each other, and Duan Fengyun laughed out loud:

"I didn't expect that our good intentions that day would actually benefit you, Jian Chen."

Youruo asked suspiciously:

"Why have we never heard you mention this Miss Ziling before?"

Seeing the confused looks of Youruo and the others, Duan Fengyun began to explain:

"When we helped Long Er see his biological father, we passed by a pond.

A blind girl who was washing clothes by the pond was being bullied by several thugs, so we took action and saved her.

Later, we went to the blind girl's home as guests; there was only her father who made a living by fishing all year round, and the father and daughter depended on each other for survival.

Later, we found a doctor to cure the blind girl's eyes, and before we left, we also gave them a large sum of money, hoping that they would no longer live a hard life.

And this blind girl is exactly the bride that Jian Chen is about to marry—Ziling."

After hearing Duan Fengyun's explanation, Youruo and the others looked at Jian Chen again, the meaning very clear: let Jian Chen explain how he met Ziling.

Duan Fengyun also looked at Jian Chen; he also really wanted to know how Ziling, whose fate was changed by them in this life, met Jian Chen.

Looking at the gossiping crowd, Jian Chen knew that he would not be able to leave without explaining clearly.

He said:

"This has to start from when I left the Dragon Gate after defeating Xu Fu.

At that time, on the way back to Zhonghua Lou with my master, we encountered a carriage being surrounded by four men in black.

Several people had fallen around the carriage; I thought these four people were likely not good people, so I took action to finish them off.

The girl sitting inside the carriage was Ziling, who was returning home after donating rice.

My master and I sent Ziling back to her home, and after a detailed conversation, she learned of my relationship with you all.

I also learned of her connection to you."

Perhaps it was love at first sight; slowly, the two of us became well-acquainted.

Her father was also very much in favor of the marriage between me and her.

Isn't that why we came to notify you as soon as we set the wedding date?

Ziling originally wanted to come too, but her father has been feeling unwell lately, so she had to stay home to take care of family matters."

After listening to this cliché story of Jian Chen playing the hero to save the beauty, Duan Fengyun laughed wildly and said:

"This is truly all Destiny.

I never expected that our original act of kindness would actually bring about your fulfillment today.

Jian Chen, you must have a good drink with us on your wedding day."

Jian Chen laughed:

"You're right, this is all Destiny.

On the eighth of next month, I will definitely drink to my heart's content with you all.

I still have to go out to deliver invitations, so I won't stay long.

You are all honored guests on my side, so please arrive early."

Duan Fengyun nodded and said: "No problem, we will definitely arrive early."

After receiving Duan Fengyun's promise, Jian Chen left and hurried to his next stop.

After Jian Chen left, Nie Feng and the others were still discussing what gifts to give him.

Duan Fengyun simply waved his hand and said:

"Now that the three Hall Masters of my Dragon Gate are attending his wedding, that is the greatest gift.

However, other modest gifts should still be prepared.

Chouchou, go prepare two chests of gold and one chest of jewelry; next month, I want Jian Chen to close Zhonghua Lou for a month to properly entertain us."

After annexing Heaven Gate, the financial strength of Dragon Gate reached a terrifying level.

Sometimes, when the national treasury was empty, the Supreme would even personally come to ask Duan Fengyun for support.

The others were already used to this nouveau riche behavior of Duan Fengyun.

On the sixth day of the eighth month, the upper echelons of Dragon Gate all set out; except for Long Er, who was still in Seclusion, everyone else familiar with Jian Chen departed.

Seeing Duan Fengyun, Bu Jingyun, and the others who had not appeared in the Jianghu for a long time, those who were unaware thought they were about to do something earth-shattering again.

After some inquiries, they learned that it was because Wuming's first disciple, Jian Chen, was holding his wedding on the eighth, and Dragon Gate was going to offer congratulations.

Upon hearing that Wuming's first disciple was getting married and that Duan Fengyun and the others were all going to congratulate him, the entire Jianghu was instantly stirred.

Suddenly, countless Jianghu figures rushed toward Zhonghua Lou; they were not there for anything else, but just to catch a glimpse of Duan Fengyun.

The sudden arrival of these Jianghu figures caught Jian Chen off guard.

Originally, according to his and Wuming's plan, they had only invited a few friends, which would have only totaled five or six tables of people.

But now the town was full of people, and Jianghu figures coming to offer congratulations were still arriving one after another.

Jian Chen looked at Duan Fengyun and shook his head:

"Great Hall Master Duan, who would dare invite you to observe a ceremony in the future?

Every time you go out, the whole Jianghu follows you into chaos."

Duan Fengyun laughed awkwardly:

"It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

In order for Jian Chen's wedding to proceed normally, Duan Fengyun finally stood up and said:

"Everyone, today is the wedding of my brother Jian Chen. He only wants to hold a simple wedding and does not want our large crowd to frighten the bride.

Jian Chen cannot entertain everyone here; please come to my Dragon Gate in half a month as guests, and I will definitely raise a glass and drink with everyone then."

"Hall Master Duan is magnanimous!"

After Duan Fengyun's speech, all the Jianghu figures scattered like birds and beasts.

The main person they came for had spoken, so how could they not listen? If they were stubborn, they would surely die a miserable death.

After this group of Jianghu figures left, the whole town finally returned to its original tranquility.

On the eighth, the four brothers of Duan Fengyun went with Jian Chen to welcome Ziling into the home.

As the current number one person in the world and Ziling's savior, Duan Fengyun rightfully accepted the tea offered by the couple.

Of course, Duan Fengyun's signature pranks did not spare Jian Chen, and Jian Chen and Ziling were teased by the four until their faces were flushed red.

In the end, the four of them chose to let Jian Chen off and did not let him get dead drunk on his wedding night.

Such a joyous life event as the wedding night should be cherished by Jian Chen.

Looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, Duan Fengyun's face was filled with a joyful smile.

He had achieved the ambition he held when he first came to this world; he had become the number one in the world and had also changed everyone's Destiny.
