Chapter 494: Wedding Banquet

“Chenggan, today is the day you and Princess Linyang are getting married. There will be many world-renowned experts participating, so don’t lose your sense of propriety when the time comes.”

“Don’t worry, father, I understand.”

“Alright, it’s good that you understand. Today, all of the Xiao family’s disciples who are at the core formation realm and above will be guarding the wedding banquet. The marriage alliance with the Western Plains Dynasty must not go wrong!”

“Don’t worry father, I understand.”

“That’s great.”

In the Xiao family’s territory, Xiao Chenggan left the family head’s pavilion and let out a long sigh.

“It’s still too sudden.”

A day’s time did not give Xiao Chenggan much leeway to prepare. Moreover, his partner was Princess Linyang, who was reputed to be the number one beauty of the five plains. It was no wonder that Xiao Chenggan was nervous.

“It’s just that, I’m marrying a princess whom I have never met before…”

Although Xiao Chenggan was not against the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, after all, the two of them had never met before. They had only heard of each other’s reputation. How could this not be awkward?

“Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.”

With that thought in mind, Xiao Chenggan returned to his room, changed into his wedding clothes, and waited for the wedding banquet to begin.

At the same time, the royal wedding team.

Yan Qingxin looked at her sister, Yan Linyang, with a silly smile on her face.

“Sister, you’re really beautiful. If only I were as beautiful as you.”

“Isn’t Qingxin also very beautiful?”

“I’m just so-so. Compared to you, I’m far inferior. Think about it, sister, you’re the number one beauty in the five plains!”

“Those are just some rumors.”

Yan Linyang chuckled and turned her head. A droplet flashed across her brows.

Yesterday, the maid had already dressed her and put on her hair accessories. After cleansing her face, her face was so delicate that it could be broken with a puff of wind. Her bright red dress did not seem conventional but instead accentuated Princess Linyang’s rarely seen beauty.

However, such a beautiful person also had her troubles.

It was not that she had a sweetheart or something like that. Yan Linyang was just… just a little unwilling.

Ever since she was born, she had been raised in the boudoir by Emperor Yan, but she was famous for her beauty.

However, this was not what Yan Linyang wanted.

No matter how beautiful a caged bird was, there was no future for it.

Yan Linyang had long understood that perhaps being sent for a marriage alliance by her father as a means to win the other party over was her fate in this life.

She had also tried to convince herself that as a noble of the Tian family, this was understandable. Her younger sister, second sister, and aunt could not escape such a fate. What was so special about her?

Thinking about it, there was still something special about her.

After all, the person she was going to marry was the Xiao family that ruled the Southern Plains. Yan Linyang could only comfort herself like this.

“Sister, do you not want to marry that b*stard Xiao Chenggan?”

“What? Crown Prince Xiao’s name is known throughout the five plains. He’s even a hero ranked 11th on the Men’s List. I’ve also heard that he is a refined and handsome man. Who wouldn’t like such a person?”

As she spoke, the smile in Yan Linyang’s eyes gradually disappeared.

That was right… who wouldn’t like him?

Perhaps, she should like him too.

But… But…

Yan Linyang held her chest. She did not know why, but she felt empty.

..

The wedding banquet!

Xiao Chenggan stood in front of the Xiao family’s territory, waiting for the people who would attend the banquet.

Except for the elders of his family, all the people who came to attend the wedding banquet were big shots!

“Gongye Yuyu of the Central Plains Sect Alliance of the Central Plains is here!”

As the servant’s voice spread, Gongye Yuyu brought Feng Lian into the Xiao family’s territory.

Logically speaking, with the Central Plains Sect Alliance’s rank, they were not worthy to attend Xiao Chenggan’s wedding banquet.

However, they had helped Xiao Chenggan advance to the nascent soul realm, so this invitation was also sent to Gongye Yuyu.

Seeing Gongye Yuyu walking over, Xiao Chenggan only nodded slightly and did not welcome him.

However, immediately after, the sons of the Shangguan family from the Southern Plains, the Ying family from the Southern Plains, the Sword Cleansing Pond from the Northern Plains, the Roaring Tiger Palace from the Northern Plains, the Peerless Academy from the Northern Plains, the Guan Xing Tower from the Northern Plains, and even the Great Snow Mountain from the Northern Plains sent people to deliver their gifts!

Naturally, Xiao Chenggan had to personally welcome this group of people and send them into the banquet hall one by one.

Of course, Victor and He Qi also followed the grand elder of the Sword Cleansing Pond and blended into the group.

However, to Victor’s surprise, Feng Lian also came here, which made it difficult for Victor to perform well.

When he arrived at the main hall of the banquet, he could see that all of them were famous noblemen. They were either chatting or sitting quietly, looking very harmonious.

However, Victor knew that all of this was just the calm before the storm.

No one wanted to see the Xiao family and the Western Plains Dynasty get together. Therefore, the most exciting part was when the banquet began!

As everyone who received the invitation had entered the venue, the wedding banquet officially began.

Unlike the wedding process in Victor’s memory, Xiao Chenggan did not escort the bride into the hall. Instead, he was guarding the ring in the middle of the banquet hall.

It was said that this was the Xiao family’s wedding custom. This was to let the bride know that she had made the right choice.

Usually, in such a situation, very few people would try to undermine the Xiao family. After all, if they offended the Xiao family, it would be difficult for them to bear the blame in the future.

However, Victor had seen it today. Just from the top ten of the Men’s List alone, three people came. They were the Men’s List champion, Bai Tianjiao from the Great Snow Mountain, the sixth on the Men’s List, Fan Caiying from the Roaring Tiger Palace, and the ninth on Men’s List, Feng Yangyan from the Peerless Academy. Needless to say… they were obviously here to cause trouble.

Otherwise, would the people of the Northern Plains come to such a place just to participate in a wedding banquet?

As the challenge tournament officially began, almost all the forces gathered their strength and were prepared to make the Xiao family lose face.

However, no one was willing to be the first one to knock on the door.

After all, regardless of whether they won or lost, it would not be pleasant.

However, at this time, wouldn’t the role of a shit-stirrer appear?

Previously, He Qi wanted to participate in the wedding banquet no matter what. Victor could not persuade him, so he had no choice but to bring him along. Since no one made a move, then He Qi would do it!

“He Qi, go up and make some noise. Remember, don’t use a technique like the hundred-foot-long heavenly blade. If you do that, it’s obvious that you’re just bringing shame to him.”

Victor patted He Qi and said.

“What? I can’t use the thousand-foot-long heavenly blade? Then how can I win? Nascent soul cultivators have dharma idols. Without that blade, one dharma idol can beat me half to death.”

“Tsk, are you going or not? I told you, you’re just the starter. After you make your move, people will naturally go up and cause them trouble. Go, go, go, don’t use your full strength.”

Under Victor’s coaxing and deception, there was nothing He Qi could do. He Qi then laughed loudly and flew onto the stage.

“Xiao family’s heir, do you want to learn from me?”

“Of course. It’s just that you’re only at the core formation realm and your strength is a little weak.”

“It’s fine. Even if I lose, it’s because I’m incapable.”
