Three days later, it was time for the wedding banquet of the Soaring Sword Hall. Red lanterns were hung in every house, and red paper was pasted in front of the door. The disciples of the sect were busy back and forth, and the scene was unusually festive and noisy. It turned out that many days ago, the Howling Sword Hall had spread the news that the daughter of the First Hall Master and the son of the Third Hall Master were going to get married. They had even sent wedding invitations to famous people from all over the world. No matter what, the Howling Sword Hall was quite famous in the martial arts world. People from various sects and clans were naturally happy to receive the invitations.
As there were too many people attending the wedding banquet, the Howling Sword Hall could only use the largest meeting hall as the venue for the banquet. The sect leaders of the various sects had all rushed over to the banquet in the past few days. Now that they were gathered in the meeting hall, although the hall was empty, how could it not be lively with hundreds of people coming at once?
At this moment, the meeting hall had already become a wedding hall. Countless red lanterns were hung outside the hall, and a red gauze was placed in front of the door. A jubilant red carpet extended all the way to the front desk. Thirty-two round tables were arranged in four rows, and each table was equipped with fifteen or sixteen seats. There were also many vases placed on the four walls of the hall, adding a little uniqueness.
Actually, it was worth it for the Howling Sword Hall to spend so much effort on such a grand occasion. After all, it was the wedding of the two juniors with the highest status in the sect. It had to be grand.
The meeting hall was bustling, but the northern courtyard seemed a little deserted. If it weren't for the word 'happiness' pasted on the door and the lanterns hanging, others would have thought that no one lived in this courtyard.
Passing through the flowers, in the boudoir that was filled with the fragrance of flowers, one could see a forty-year-old man wearing a purple brocade robe carefully combing the soft spring hair of a peerless beauty. The man had a full beard and a weathered face. He said kindly,"Daughter, actually, I know who the person in your heart is. That time, I wanted to bring him back and find an opportunity to fulfill your wish…but what can I do? "He didn't appreciate it, and you didn't agree either. Later, Wenlong came to propose marriage, and Taoist Master Yuquan and most of the people in the sect advised Father to agree to the marriage. Under pressure, Father had no choice but to agree…" Situ Sheng pondered for a while and sighed."If you really don't want to, then nod your head. Even if I have to destroy the reputation of the Howling Sword Hall, I will harden my heart and cancel this wedding banquet for you.”
Yun Meng didn't nod or shake her head. She sat quietly in front of the dressing table, staring at the bronze mirror with her beautiful eyes. She didn't say anything.
"Sigh ~!" Situ Sheng sighed."I don't know why, but I haven't seen you speak for so many days. Forget it, let's leave everything to fate."”Situ Sheng put his hands behind his back and walked out of the door. After a few steps, he felt uneasy. He looked back at Yun Meng for a while, then turned around and left.
Yun Meng saw her father leave, but she didn't move. The window not far away was open, and a fragrant breeze blew into the room, lifting her long hair and ruffling her pale yellow skirt.
The wind blows, the flowers shed tears, the clouds fall, the dream is silent.
Suddenly, a burst of tears appeared in the beauty's jade eyes. The tears slid down her snow-white and soft cheeks and quietly fell on the apricot yellow tube top. Who could know the pain and lament that could not be made?
At this moment, the meeting hall of the Soaring Sword Hall was already filled with guests. There were monks from the Divine Martial Temple, disciples of the Jade Water Palace Maid, disciples of the Dali Sect, disciples of the Eight Trigrams Sect, disciples of the Giant Kun Sect, disciples of the Snow Eagle Sect, and many famous people from the Central Plains and even the Western Regions.
In the crowd, there were two ladies dressed as chivalrous ladies walking around. One of them was petite and delicate, with beautiful eyebrows and bright eyes. She yawned and stretched her back, saying,"Sister Li Hua, what are you doing? You actually lied to me that there was good food here. In the end, you came all the way here and didn't eat anything.”
"Yu 'Er, will you die if you stop nagging?”The girl called "Sister Li Hua" had a pretty face. Her almond-shaped eyebrows and eyes revealed a delicate charm unique to Jiangnan women. She said impatiently,"You lazy worm. If I didn't say that there was delicious food here, would you have come?”
"I shouldn't have come in the first place! What's there to see at such a wedding banquet?" Yu 'Er pouted and said unhappily. Suddenly, she thought of something and smiled evilly."Oh, right! Some old women were twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and still could not get married. He should come and take a look.”
"Yu, er!" Li Hua was so angry that her face turned red. She knocked on Yu 'er's head and said,"I think you're tired of living! You challenge my limits every time!”
"It hurts! It hurts! It's too terrifying. I won't go out with you again. It's so fierce!”Yu 'er covered her head and muttered,"The sect master doesn't care about his image outside. No wonder he can't get married."”
"You!" Li Hua was almost angered to death by Yu 'er. She waved her hand and wanted to hit her again, but she saw Yu' er's eyes glancing to the side a few times. Li Hua followed her gaze and saw a handsome man in his twenties with a pale face walk over gracefully. He politely said to Li Hua,"Sect Leader Li Hua, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You've become much more charming than before!”
"Yes, yes, of course." Li Hua's almond-shaped eyes widened a little, and she replied with a smile,"Childe Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. I don't know which girl you spent a night with, but you've become much more haggard!”
When Chen Qinghe heard this, his expression immediately changed. He did not want to flare up in front of them, so he silently squeezed into the crowd and went to the Eight Trigrams School's table.
Seeing Chen Qinghe leave, Yu 'er shook her head at Li Hua and sighed,""Sigh, what a pity. Another good man was scared away by you.”
"What kind of good man is he?" Li Hua raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms in front of her, and said indignantly,"This person is just like his father. He has harmed countless good people. I won't be happy if I don't scold him!”As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt someone bump into her shoulder. It hurt a little, so she turned her head and frowned angrily."Who is so blind?"
Li Hua took a closer look. It was an average-looking man who was nearly thirty years old. He had a little beard and wore a simple civilian outfit. He lowered his head slightly and said to Li Hua warmly,"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It was too crowded just now. I was in a hurry to find someone, so..."
"Alright, alright." Li Hua saw that the other party was indeed honest, so she shook her hand and said to him,"Just watch where you're going next time.”
"Thank you, Miss." The man cupped his fists towards Li Hua and bowed before entering the crowd.
Yu 'er looked at his back as he left and snickered."This person looks quite silly. Interesting!”
"Then marry him and be his wife." Li Hua said unhappily.
"How can that do?" "How can I steal the Sect Master's man?" Yu 'er said with a smile.”
"You!" Li Hua almost fainted from anger. She raised her hand and wanted to hit her again, but she realized that there were two very beautiful girls standing beside her. One was slender and beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and clear eyes. She was wearing an aqua-blue heroine costume, while the other was a little unrefined. She had soft eyebrows and clear eyes, and she was beautiful. She was wearing an aqua-green female Daoist robe.
"Yo! Why is there someone from Mount Shu?" Li Hua looked at Yu 'er and said,"The Ming Sword Hall didn't invite anyone from Mount Shu, right?"”
At this moment, the pretty woman in aqua blue clothes asked Li Hua hesitantly,""Excuse me, are you disciples of the Blue Water Palace?”
When Li Hua saw the person asking, she felt a little warm and said seriously,""We are from the Blue Water Palace."
"That's good!" The blue-clothed girl's delicate brows spread open, and she said with a smile,""May I ask where your Sect Leader Sister Li Hua is now?”
Yu 'er pointed at Li Hua and said,"This is the tigress!"”
Li Hua did not have the time to vent her anger on Yu 'er. She only remembered that she did not seem to know the two girls in front of her, so she asked the blue-clothed girl,"Is there something you need from me?"
"So you're Sister Li Hua! She's so charming!" The woman in blue smiled and praised, but then playfully reached out to Li Hua and said,"My name is Xue Yan! Yan's Yan! It's Sister Ru 'er's new disciple. Please guide me, hehe!”
Li Hua looked at Xue Yan's pretty appearance and listened to her words, feeling even more intimate. Her hand had already reached out to hold her hand, but she thought about it and muttered,"Xue Yan…why don't I remember our Blue Water Palace taking in such a sister?”
"You don't believe me when I say you're old, do you?" "Last month, Palace Master Ru 'er mentioned in her letter that you should take good care of her. You don't remember now, do you?" Yu' er said proudly.”
"It's her…? It's her!" Li Hua heard Yu 'er's words and couldn't help but be overjoyed. She looked at Xue Yan and didn't hold her hand. Instead, she hugged her tightly and said with a smile,"No wonder! No wonder it felt so familiar! No wonder Ru 'er misses you so much! I really can't put it down!"
Xue Yan also smiled. She did not expect to receive such favor from the Palace of Clear Water's Sect Master. Han Yu, who was watching from the side, also revealed a quiet smile. Only Yu 'er, who was beside her, said,"Hey, hey, are you treating me like a pet? This isn't our Blue Water Palace. Pay attention to your image.”
Li Hua restrained herself when she heard Yu 'er's words. She withdrew her hand and calmed her excited mood. She held Xue Yan's hand and said,"Our sect's seat isn't far from here. Come, let's go see our sisters!”
"Wait a minute." Xue Yan pointed at Han Yu behind her and said to Li Hua,"This is my younger sister, Sister Li Hua can't leave her behind ~!”
"Sister…?" Han Yu's eyes widened. She also vaguely knew that Xue Yan wanted to take care of her in this way, and she felt a warmth in her heart.
"Why would he abandon her?" Yu 'er smiled." Our sect leader is usually a little fierce, but he's very kind-hearted. Even if you don't know him, you have to bring him along. Don't worry!"”
Thus, the four of them continued to move forward in the crowd. When they passed by a wine table, they saw that the people at the table were all ferocious. The person in the lead looked to be in his thirties. He had pockmarks on his face and his hair was slightly straight. Beside him sat a huge fatty. The fatty ate the fruit on the table without any scruples. The fruit juice almost splashed on the pockmarked face. The pockmarked face glanced at the fatty with disgust.
"This table is full of people from the Giant Kun Gang." Li Hua whispered into Xue Yan's ear,"Sect Master Wu Daoshan is not a good person. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. His disciples also look like hooligans all day long, so the sisters usually don't provoke them. Yan 'er, you have to be careful.”
"I know." Xue Yan looked at the pockmarked face in the lead and remembered that the Giant Kun Gang was one of the shameless people who chased after Han Ye last time. She could not help but feel disgusted. However, when she saw the charmingly naive fatty, Xue Yan was happy again. She pointed at the fatty and asked Li Hua,"Sister Li Hua, who is this fatty?”
"Hey!" Li Hua's brows tightened and she quickly whispered,"Don't call him Fatty in front of him. He's the second in charge of the Giant Roc Gang and is straightforward by nature. If you call him Fatty, he'll definitely fight you to the death.”
"There's such a thing?" Xue Yan put her fair and delicate hand to her lips and smiled."Then is he fierce when he gets angry?”
Li Hua pointed at a giant hammer that was taller than a chair beside him and said,""That hammer is his weapon. I heard that it weighs 500 pounds, but he can wield it so fast that he's invincible when he's angry. Wu Daoshan can't do anything to him either.”
"Interesting." Xue Yanming turned around and smiled.”
Then, the four of them continued to walk. After walking for a dozen steps, Li Hua stopped because she saw a group of people. Most of them were burly. The leader was a couple. The man was wearing an orange cloak. He had thick eyebrows and short hair, and his face was full of stubble. The woman was wearing silk clothes. Her eyebrows were like a painting, and her eyes were like water. She was charming and beautiful.
Yu 'er placed her hands in front of her mouth and shouted at the young woman,"Sister Xu Muyu!"
The young woman turned around and saw Li Hua and Yu 'er. Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up as she excitedly bumped into the waist of the man beside her and said,"Man, come with me to meet my sisters.”
The man was also very obedient. He nodded and waved to the disciples, signaling them to go ahead. Then, the young woman walked over with her hand in his.
Li Hua saw the young woman and happily said,"Mu Yu, how have you been all these years?”
"It's good, but I'm so busy." Xu Muyu shook her wrist and held the arm of the tall man beside her. She smiled and said,"It's all because this guy always makes me worry.”
The man understood his wife's difficulties. He was clearly a rough man, but he said gently to his wife,"Thank you for your trouble, Madam."
Xue Yan looked at the man and found him more and more familiar. Suddenly, she thought of something and pointed at him."Big guy, it's you!"
The big guy seemed to have remembered something and smiled.""Miss, how have you been?"
Xu Muyu saw that her husband and the girl were very happy to meet, so she asked suspiciously,"You know each other?"
Wang De understood Xu Muyu's thoughts and explained gently,"Madam, don't panic. Last time, I told you that I released a couple in front of Mount Shu, and that woman was her.”After saying that, Wang De asked Xue Yan,"Why did I only see you? Where's Han Ye?"
" Mm…" Xue Yan's eyes turned and she smiled,""I brought my sister here. If that idiot came to such a place, wouldn't he be attacked by a group of people?”When Xue Yan said this, Han Yu looked at her in surprise. After thinking for a while, she retracted her expression.
"That's true." As Wang De spoke, he affectionately said to Li Hua,"Li Hua, I heard that you've been worrying about your marriage for the past two years. Have you found your ideal husband? If you don't have any, how many can I introduce to you?”
"You Iron Fist Wang, don't bring up the pot!”Li Hua widened her almond-shaped eyes and said in a bad mood,"Just take good care of your beautiful wife.”
"Yes, I am." Yu 'er took the opportunity to mock," Palace Master Ru' er followed Young Master Lin when she was seventeen or eighteen. Sister Mu Yu became Wang Tiequan's wife when she was in her early twenties. Some people, cough cough, are still alone at twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Their later years are bleak!"”As she spoke, she even shook her head in an extremely humorous manner.
"Hehe." Everyone couldn't help but smile. Only Li Hua was furious. She knocked Yu 'er's head fiercely and said,"Yu, er! Do you want to die?"
"It hurts! It hurts!" Yu 'er covered her head and muttered,"The fiercest person in the world is Sister Li Hua!"”
When Wang De heard Yu 'er's words, he whispered to Yu' er,"You're considered good. You don't know that when my husband gets angry, he's even worse.”
"Man, I heard everything!”Xu Muyu stood angrily beside Wang De. She held her hair in one hand and grabbed his ear with the other. Her expression was completely different from her usual elegance.
"Furen, calm down! Furen, please calm down!" "I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. I don't have any other intentions!" Wang De hurriedly begged for mercy.”
Xue Yan had never seen such a cowardly side of Wang De. She burst out laughing, but she finally understood why he had let Han Ye and her go that day. It was because Xu Muyu was a member of the Jade Water Palace, and the disciples of the Jade Water Palace had always been united. If Mu Yu knew that Wang De had forced her sisters to death, she would definitely fight him to the death. And it was precisely because of the marriage alliance between the Great Strength Sect and the Blue Water Palace that the two sects had always gotten along very well.
"Liven up the atmosphere?" Mu Yu frowned and continued to pull Wang De's ear."With Yu 'Er around, do I need you to liven up the atmosphere? You are clearly playing with a broad axe in front of Lu Ban's door and playing with a big knife on Guan Yu's head!”
Mu Yu's words made everyone laugh again. Yu 'er said with a mischievous smile,"Sister Mu Yu, you flatter me, hehe.”
"Blame me for overestimating myself. Madam, spare my life. There are many people here. Put your hand down first.”Wang De begged for mercy.
Xu Muyu felt that it made sense. Her husband was the head of a sect, after all. How could she let him lose face? So she let go of her hands and gracefully put them back in front of her, looking at him coldly.""If you slander me in front of your sisters again, you'll suffer when you get home!”
"Yes, Madam!" Wang De rubbed his ears helplessly, stood up straight, and resumed his appearance as a sect master. He said to Li Hua,"Li Hua, I wanted to chat with you a little more, but the disciples of the sect are still waiting for me at the table.”As he spoke, he held Xu Mu Yu's soft hand. Mu Yu said to Li Hua,"Li Hua, I'll go with my husband first. I'll come back to see you when I have time.”
Li Hua recovered from her joy and said to Wang De and his wife,"Alright, you guys go ahead. See you later.”
"See you later!" The couple bid farewell to Li Hua, who brought Yu 'er, Xue Yan, and Han Yu to the table at the Palace of Blue Water.
