"Wait a moment!" You can't leave now! "
A voice sounded from behind him, temporarily stopping Xiao Che in his tracks. Xiao Yulong walked quickly towards Xiao Che, at the same time, he said with a face brimming with righteousness: "Everyone knows that Xiao Che just got married four days ago, and the one he married is our Cloud Flowing City's number one pearl, the Xia Family's daughter, Xia Qingyue. But, everyone must not forget the reason why Xia Qingyue married Xiao Che! It was because the Fifth Elder's son, Xiao Ying, had saved Xia Qingyue's life back then. But no matter if it was to repay a debt of gratitude, to a marriage contract or to the marriage of a person, it should all be Xiao Ying's own son …. and not this bastard who doesn't even have Xiao Sect bloodline, who has popped out of nowhere! "
Xiao Yulong's words immediately reminded everyone. Indeed, Xia Qingyue marrying Xiao Che was due to the marriage contract sixteen years ago, but now, Xiao Che was no longer Xiao Ying's son.
Since it was a mistake, he should …
Xiao Che didn't turn back as he coldly said: "Xiao Yulong, it's not your place to interfere in my marriage affairs."
"No, it's your turn." Xiao Yulong on the other hand laughed in ridicule, and said in a clear voice: "Now, all the people in Cloud City know that the number one pearl has been married to my Xiao Sect. But after today, the entire city will know that the first Pearl of Light isn't marrying my Xiao Sect, but a bastard that my Xiao Sect has raised for sixteen years. How big of a joke is this! " His gaze shifted as he looked at Xia Hongyi, who had been silently standing at the back the entire time, and his voice increased even further, "Xia Family Master, I heard that back then, you and Xiao Ying were brothers and sisters, so marrying your daughter to him was perhaps your lifelong wish. But now the truth has come out, and this Xiao Che is not Xiao Ying's son at all, but a bastard who was picked up from an unknown place.
Xia Hongyi remained silent, but his expression was truly a little ugly.
And at this time, those disciples of the Xiao Sect who couldn't bear to see Xia Qingyue marrying Xiao Che finally found a chance to completely deflate and started to clamor in chaos.
"Xiao Yulong is right! Xia Qingyue is from our Xiao Sect, now that we know Xiao Che is not one of us, the marriage must be annulled! "
"The Fifth Elder clearly knew that Xiao Che was not someone from the Xiao Sect, and had even pushed the marriage closer … This is simply a shameless marriage scam! "
"Xiao Che, this useless trash, is not worthy of Xia Qingyue! Dismiss the marriage immediately and get out of Xiao Sect! "
"Xia Family Lord! Say something … Didn't you feel angry after being deceived by the Fifth Elder and Xiao Che for so many years and even making your daughter's marriage become a joke? "
….
Irony, condemnation, schadenfreude, the sound of falling rocks, the sound of fanning the flames … The previous jealousy and hatred towards Xiao Che for marrying Xia Qingyue had finally found a outlet to vent, and the mixed shouts became more and more ear-piercing. And because they were on the "proper" side, everyone was full of righteousness as if they were trying a trial.
Just then, Xiao Yun spoke out, he said with a cold face: "Xiao Che, you heard everyone's words. You don't have the qualifications to marry the daughter of the Xia Family. In order to prevent my Xiao Sect from becoming the laughingstock of the Cloud Flowing City, and in order to prevent my Xia Family from continuing to be shamed, before you leave my Xiao Sect, hand over the marriage certificate. "
Xiao Che didn't say a word, and reached into his bosom. When he took it out, there was already a marriage certificate in his hand … He had always carried this marriage certificate with him. This was because there were far too many people in the Xiao Sect who wanted to destroy this marriage certificate.
Once Xiao Yulong saw the certificate, he quickly rushed forward to seize it. However, Xiao Che turned his body to the side and placed the marriage certificate into Xia Qingyue's hands.
Xia Qingyue subconsciously held onto the marriage certificate, as if he was in a trance.
"For us husband and wife, whether we are separated or not is always a matter of the two of us. Even if it's the Emperor, I don't care." Xiao Che looked at Xia Qingyue, and his cold voice transmitted into everyone's ears. Immediately after, he gentled his voice as he tenderly looked at Xia Qingyue: "But at the moment, I don't have the power to protect this marriage certificate, so I can only hand it over to you … If you still want to be my wife, then keep it. If you want to be completely free. Fine, I'll destroy it. "
Xia Qingyue: "..."
Although he lost some of his dignity as a man by handing over the responsibility of protecting the marriage certificate and the right to choose to Xia Qingyue, Xiao Che had no other choice at this time.
Seeing Xia Qingyue quietly clenching the marriage certificate, Xiao Che smiled at her and nodded. His gaze swept past Xiao Lie, Xiao Lingxi, and the others, and then, he walked towards the main entrance without turning his head back, until he stepped out of the Xiao Sect by himself, and disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
Xiao Che was a small fry, he had always been so, even in the Xiao Sect, he was an insignificant existence. Even though his sharp words today had stunned quite a few people, it still hadn't changed this fact or the impression people had of him for the past ten years. Hence, his departure was but a small matter to everyone. It would only allow them to gloat for a while … Immediately, all of their attention concentrated on the marriage certificate in Xia Qingyue's hands.
"Miss Xia, I think you must be furious after knowing the truth." Xiao Yulong walked closer to Xia Qingyue, laughing as he said: "Xiao Che not only deceived our Xiao Sect for sixteen years, he also dragged your Xia Family down too. But it didn't matter, as long as Miss Xia tore the marriage certificate in his hands, everything that happened before would disappear into thin air. The entire Cloud Flowing City will understand and support this Miss Xia's decision. Furthermore, with Miss Xia's innate talent and appearance, you will definitely be able to find another husband who is millions of times better than Xiao Che. "
Ever since he had seen Xiao Yulong's ugly appearance last time, Xia Qingyue had been disgusted with him in his heart, and now, he even hated him to the extreme. He coldly said, "Did you not hear what my husband said just now? It's not up to outsiders to interfere with the matters between us! "
Xiao Yulong's expression instantly changed … The expressions of many people also changed.
Almost everyone thought that Xia Qingyue had only wanted to repay a debt of gratitude and thus was forced to marry Xiao Che in order to comply with the engagement from sixteen years ago. Otherwise, with her talent and looks, why would she be willing to marry a useless good-for-nothing when she could choose any Under Heaven's dragon? They originally thought that Xia Qingyue would tear up the marriage certificate without hesitation, but never would they have thought that she would actually say the same thing as Xiao Che. "Husband."
Xiao Yulong's complexion turned the color of pig liver; this was completely different from his expectations. Now that Xiao Che had been expelled from Xiao Sect, by right, she had nothing to do with Xiao Sect anymore. If she did not tear up the marriage certificate, he, the Xiao Sect, would not even have the qualifications to force her.
At this time, Xiao Lie's somewhat lifeless eyes flashed with a strange light, and the gaze she looked at Xia Qingyue with became especially warm. Xiao Sect suppressed everything and shouted in unison. But when she said those words, no matter what happens in the future, she could be considered to be completely unworthy of Xiao Che … At least, she defended Xiao Che's final bit of dignity.
Even Xiao Lingxi, who always had an unspeakable enmity towards Xia Qingyue felt sincere gratitude for her.
Xia Hongyi, who had always been silent, also slowly nodded at this time, as his face revealed a hint of praise and joy.
Xiao Kuangyun's face also turned ashen. If Xia Qingyue did not tear up the marriage certificate, it would become much more troublesome to obtain it. Because Xiao Moshan, who came out with him, was the Vice Hall Master of the Xiao Sect's Discipline Hall. He had followed Xiao Kuangyun out this time, firstly to protect him, and secondly to monitor him, to prevent him from doing anything that would disgrace the Xiao Sect's reputation. Xiao Moshan could allow him to flirt with women to bully others, but he definitely wouldn't allow him to steal someone's wife … Even if he was the sect master's own son, he would forcefully interfere.
However, how could he, the dignified son of the Xiao Sect's Sect Master, be unable to do anything to a merchant's girl from the Cloud Flowing City? His brows immediately sunk as he said unyieldingly: "This matter is not up to you to decide! This marriage affected Xiao Sect's reputation, and Xiao Sect originated from my Xiao Sect, so it has indirectly affected Xiao Sect's reputation! My Xiao Sect is full of praise for Under Heaven, we will definitely not allow anyone to sully him! Xiao Ba, destroy that marriage certificate for me! "
"Yes!" Young Lord! "
Xiao Kuangyun forcefully roared out a forced reason, but no one dared to refute him. Xiao Moshan also did not move. Xiao Ba replied as he suddenly jumped down from the stage and rushed in Xia Qingyue's direction. His gaze firmly locked onto the marriage certificate in her hands.
When the Xiao Sect attacked, even if it was just a follower, who in the Cloud Flowing City could stop it? Just as everyone thought the marriage certificate in Xia Qingyue's hands was unable to be saved, a whizzing sound suddenly descended from the sky, accompanied by a surge of extremely cold wind ….
Whoosh!
Xiao Ba's body that hadn't landed on the ground yet was directly sent flying. He fell back onto the stage in an incomparably sorry state. If you looked closely, you would see that there was a thin layer of ice on the surface of his body.
The sudden change in events startled the entire audience. Xiao Moshan suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the sky. And at this time, a clear and chilly voice came from above: "Your Xiao Sect has really gotten more and more capable, to actually begin to interfere in my Asgard disciple's marriage! Who gave you the right to do this? "
The sky was blue, with occasional white clouds. A white-clothed woman floated in the air, her pair of ice-cold eyes looking down on everyone. Her face was beautiful, her lips were white as snow, her skin was like jade, her beauty was cold and holy. She was like a fairy from the moon, cold and proud like a heavenly ice lotus that did not touch the mundane world.
Although it was possible to clearly see her appearance, no one was able to discern her age. She seemed to be in her twenties, thirties and teens … A crystalline ice spirit floated around her body. It was like the breath of a fairy, beautiful yet dreamy.
The beautiful scenery in the sky caused everyone to stare blankly. Suddenly, a trembling shout rang out from the crowd …
"Mystical …" Profound Floating Technique! It's the Profound Floating Technique! "
This shout was like a clap of thunder, shocking everyone to the point that their mouths and eyes bulged out. The gaze with which he looked at the woman in the air abruptly changed …
That's right! The woman in the air was clearly floating in midair. She did not borrow strength from any profound artifact, nor did she borrow strength from flying profound beast! He was completely using his own strength to float in the air … And to be able to use profound strength to float in the air and complete the "Profound Floating Technique", one had to at least be at the Sky Profound Realm in order to do so!
The woman in the sky was actually the legendary … Sky Profound Realm!
"Frozen Cloud... The Seven Immortals! Xiao Moshan uttered in a low voice, his entire body tensed up as deep fear flashed in his eyes!
"What?" What did you say? " The woman in the air, Xiao Kuangyun, had initially been watching with infatuation, but when he suddenly heard the four words "Seven Ice Cloud Immortals", his entire body abruptly shook... Seven Ice Cloud Immortals! They belonged to the Frozen Cloud Asgard, and were the seven women whose status was only second to the palace master. They were seven people even his father was deeply afraid of! It was rumored that in the Seven Ice Cloud Immortals s, even the weakest person with profound strength was still in the Sky Profound Realm! It was said that the one with the strongest profound strength was already half a step into the Emperor Profound Realm!
It was also the existence of this Seven Ice Cloud Immortals that had caused his position to be constantly suppressed by the Frozen Cloud Asgard. For the past three consecutive years, Xiao Sect had lost to him.
"Young Master, she is the Chu Yueli who is ranked fifth in Seven Ice Cloud Immortals! He didn't know why she would appear here … In short, don't offend her. Even if ten of me were to be added together, we still wouldn't be her match! " Xiao Moshan said in a low voice. He was very clear about what kind of rubbish Xiao Kuangyun was. This guy was as greedy as his life. If he showed mercy to Chu Yueli and angered him, the consequences would be unimaginable!
