With the support of two bridesmaids, Xia Qingyue finally appeared before Xiao Che's eyes. She wore a bright red phoenix crown, and the curtain of fine pearls that hung down completely covered her entire face, making it impossible for anyone to see her current appearance and expression. Her long black hair was gently tied behind her back. She wore a red dress with a straight line made of the same kind of cloud pattern. Her waist was tied up, revealing her slender waist. She was wearing a delicate jade belt around her waist, with tiny pearl tassels hanging down from the belt. She was wearing a golden silk dress, which made her look even more dazzling.
With the support of the bridesmaid, Xia Qingyue slowly walked towards Xiao Che who was sitting beside the bridal sedan. His every step was light and elegant, as though he was stepping on clouds. They were both walking and ordinary girls were walking, but on her body, it was as if a fairy had descended upon the clouds. No matter how ordinary the posture was, it would be unbearably beautiful, and Xiao Che enjoyed watching it.
Xia Qingyue finally came to the front of the bridal sedan, the two bridesmaids also released their grip and retreated. In accordance to Blue Wind Empire's wedding tradition, the groom would bring the bride onto the bridal sedan. Xiao Che took a step forward and extended his hand towards Xia Qingyue. However, just as Xia Qingyue's hand was about to touch his palm, a bone-piercing coldness suddenly came from Xiao Che's hand, causing his entire right arm to become stiff from the pain, and he was unable to move at all. Xia Qingyue's hand hung in the air above Xiao Che's palm, and his body slowly and gracefully entered the bridal sedan … And in the eyes of the onlookers, she was being supported in by Xiao Che while her hand rested on Xiao Che's hand.
The ice-cold feeling slowly disappeared and Xiao Che's arm drooped down. His expression was indifferent, and he did not say a single word. Other than a frown at the instant the icy cold feeling attacked him, there was no other expression, nor was there the slightest sound.
If one lifted the curtain of fine beads over Xia Qingyue's head at this moment, one would see her beautiful eyes flash with a trace of astonishment. But then it went back to indifference.
Xiao Che got on his horse, and the wedding procession immediately turned back, the Xia Family's wedding procession following closely behind, heading straight for Xiao Sect.
After an hour and a half, the group returned to the Xiao family's residence. The return trip took a long time, but it was smooth and calm. There were no wedding scenes that many people were looking forward to. This greatly disappointed those who were unbalanced.
Xiao Lie himself had long been standing at the entrance, welcoming the guests. Of course, most of the slaps that were aimed at Xiao Che were aimed at him and Xia Family. With Xiao Lie's prestige in the Cloud Flowing City and his extensive knowledge in the Xia Family, there were a lot of guests. Outside of the Xiao family's residence, there were countless people who came to watch the show, causing the road to be so congested that not even a drop of water could leak out. And these people, were obviously here to witness the marriage of Cloud Flowing City's number one beauty.
Xia Qingyue's bridal bridge slowly stopped in the middle of the noise. A corner of the curtain was opened as her maid Xia Dongling gently spoke: "Miss has arrived."
Then, a hand reached out, and with Xia Dongling's support, he slowly walked over. The moment she got out of the bridal sedan, the originally deafening noise instantly quieted down. Replacing it were gasps from the crowd.
It was almost noon, and the sunlight was especially bright and gentle. The rippling sunlight reflected the alluring brilliance of her phoenix coronet and ceremonial ceremonial dress. It was so lofty and radiant that it dazzled everyone's eyes. She wore a phoenix crown on her head, and a golden hairpin adorned her high bun. Below her hung several sculptures of the phoenix and golden phoenix, and she wore a red wedding dress embroidered with cloud patterns. She wore the same color and wide brocade belt, and stepped on the golden silk shoes. Although she did not reveal her face, she was like a goddess from the heavens. Her beauty was incomparable to the mortal world.
Insuppressible gasps could be heard all over the place. The eyes of countless people were glazed over, and they were unable to recover for a long period of time. This was the charm of Xia Qingyue. Without revealing her face, just based on her extraordinary temperament and figure, she was like a fairy that had walked out of a painting.
Xia Dongling wrapped a red silk sash around Xia Qingyue's hand, and the other end of the sash was naturally tied to Xiao Che's hand. Xiao Che smiled as he walked ahead, and pulled Xia Qingyue past the brazier, past the saddle, and past the threshold of the Xia Family, straight into the hall.
As he entered the Xiao family's residence, the noise in his ears did not lessen. Xiao Che's expression did not change, his footsteps did not stop, he naturally wished for the wedding to end as soon as possible.
This was the central conference hall of the Xiao Sect, and only the Sect Leader or Elders of the Xiao Sect had the right to use this place as the wedding hall. For this wedding, a large amount of decorations had gone through. As far as the eye could see, the decorations were inlaid with yellow crystal, the walls were carved with two dragons and the walls were carved with two dragons and the walls were engraved with several rare pearls. The big red carpet went straight through the center of the hall and extended all the way to the gold steps in front. Of course, the Xiao Sect was not willing to spend so much effort just for Xiao Che. Regarding his daughter's wedding, Xia Hongyi was not stingy at all.
Xiao Lie and Xia Hongyi had already taken their seats at the highest point in the hall, their faces all smiles as they watched Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue walk in. The purple sandalwood table was separated into two rows on both sides of the red carpet, with three rows on the left and right, all of them already filled with people. When Xiao Che walked in, beaming with happiness, their expressions were still the same, but in the depths of their eyes, they revealed expressions of disdain.
As a profound cultivating family, Xiao Che, who had direct profound veins, was born with crippled profound veins. This was simply a disgrace to the Xiao Sect. If not for the fact that he was the grandson of Fifth Elder Xiao Lie, he would have long ago been banished to the Xiao family's property and he wouldn't have been able to stay in the Xiao Sect … And if he hadn't married the's daughter who had received the most attention, they would not even bother to ask about it, let alone personally come here.
With regards to Xiao Che, when they mentioned his name or heard it, they only thought of him as "trash", so let alone paying him any attention, they couldn't even remember his appearance clearly. In the Profound Sky Continent, there is no dignity without strength, even in the same family … This was reality.
The expressions of those from the Xiao family's younger generation were also identical. When their gazes landed on Xia Qingyue's body, they revealed uncontrollable infatuation, and when their gazes shifted onto Xiao Che's body, the jealousy in their eyes seemed to be on the verge of erupting … This cripple that even outer sect disciple of the Xiao family looked down upon had actually married the number one pearl of the Cloud Flowing City, whom they didn't even dare dream of marrying. Watching the two of them holding onto the red silk as they walked into the marriage hall, that kind of feeling was even worse than eating a dead fly.
The wedding host was Xiao De, the head of the Xiao family's logistics department. The wedding ceremony officially began with his shouts.
The host began introducing the bride and groom to the distinguished guests. Xiao Che's expression had always been the same, his heart was calm like water. As for the host's later words, he was already too lazy to listen to them.
In the Xia Family, when Xia Qingyue was about to come into contact with his hand, what was the meaning of the sudden coldness that came from his hand? Could it be some kind of profound arts? However, within the Cloud Flowing City, they had never heard of such a profound arts. For Xia Qingyue to reach the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm at the age of sixteen was truly an amazing feat …. But in terms of level, he was still at the most basic Elementary Profound Realm, and this kind of realm's realm was actually able to release such a cold, soundless aura, making his entire arm unable to move … Just what kind of profound arts was this, to be able to unleash such a shocking power at such a level!
Or … Xia Qingyue, who had reached the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm at the age of sixteen … Still hiding his strength?
At this moment, the master of ceremonies stopped his chanting. After a short pause, the voice that was eight degrees higher rang out again:
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Xiao Che's mind quickly turned. He glanced at the Xia Qingyue beside her, and at the same time, bent down to worship the heavens and earth together with her.
"Second bow to the elders!"
The two of them turned around and bowed respectfully in the direction of Xiao Lie and Xia Hongyi. Xiao Lie nodded with a smile, lovingly looking at Xiao Che and his granddaughter-in-law who had finally entered the door. Xia Hongyi was similarly smiling with no trace of dissatisfaction towards this marriage.
"Husband and wife pay their respects!"
Xiao Che's body turned towards Xia Qingyue and at the same time, Xia Qingyue's body also turned to him … There was no hesitation or delay in his actions. This made all the young generation of Xiao Sect present clench their teeth in secret. In their minds, it was impossible for Xia Qingyue to want to marry this complete cripple Xiao Che. The reason he would come to this step today, was definitely because of the pressure from the Xia Family. To their disappointment, even until this moment, Xia Qingyue still had a normal appearance, and not a single person was able to catch any traces of resistance from her body.
The moment their bodies bent down, through the slightly scattered pearl curtain, Xiao Che caught a touch of a clear and cold light in his eyes … It was so cold that there was not even a trace of emotion in it.
At this moment, there should have been enthusiastic applause, laughter, and cheers. However, there were only a few clapping sounds in the hall. It was extremely awkward.
"Hehe, Fifth Elder, and Brother Xia, congratulations." Xiao Yun Hai stood up and said. He was in his early forties this year, and his expression was warm.
"Indeed, we should congratulate the Fifth Elder." Xiao Li, who was beside Xiao Yun Hai, said indifferently. Anyone could hear the strange air in his words.
Second Clan Elder Xiao Bo also laughed strangely twice, and said slowly: "Fifth Clan Elder has gotten such a grandson, our entire Xiao Sect, has become extremely proud ah. Xia Family has been a businessman for generations. Finding a son-in-law like this, hehe, is also not bad. Congratulations. "
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze. When they said the word "congratulations," the mocking tone in their words could be clearly heard by anyone but a fool.
