Chapter 10 — The Wedding Begins! Lin Yan Witnesses!
Half a month passed quickly.
Elder Black and Ye Yuxiao had already prepared everything for Yang Chen’s wedding. Yang Chen led the welcoming party and headed towards Bai Shan City in great numbers.
As the top immortal sect in the Northern Spiritual Realm, Xuantian Sect was the ruler of several dozen secular dynasties nearby. The wedding of the Holy Son was naturally a major event. Although they didn’t inform the Sect Master, almost all the core elders who were not in seclusion attended.
Some were involved in organizing the wedding ceremony at Xuantian Sect, while others accompanied Yang Chen to welcome the bride in Bai Shan City.
Bai Shan City was just an ordinary city under the Leiyan Dynasty. It had never experienced such a grand occasion before. In the sky, dozens of flying spirit boats came side by side, resembling celestial beings traveling, shocking everyone in Bai Shan City.
There were cultivators in Bai Shan City as well, but they were mostly Qi Refining cultivators. Only the city lord was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“City Lord, what is that?” a cultivator asked.
The city lord of Bai Shan City looked solemn and said, “Those are flying spirit boats, only top-tier immortal sects possess them! Even the Leiyan Dynasty doesn’t have a single flying spirit boat!”
“What!?” A group of Bai Shan City cultivators were astonished.
“Which power is this? Their momentum is so majestic!”
“Dozens of flying spirit boats flying side by side!” The city lord was a member of the Leiyan Dynasty’s royal family and had seen many grand occasions. But at this moment, he couldn’t help feeling frightened.
The impact of dozens of flying spirit boats was too great. After a long time, he said, “This should be a big shot from Xuantian Sect! Within tens of thousands of miles, only Xuantian Sect has such strength!”
The spirit boats arrived above Bai Shan City. A strong pressure gradually spread. Both cultivators and commoners in Bai Shan City wore fearful expressions.
In a small courtyard in the east of the city, Lin Xilan held Yang Chi in her arms and muttered to herself, “Chi’er, your father said he would be back in half a month, why hasn’t he returned yet? Mother misses him! Do you miss him? Ah!?”
At this moment, she suddenly felt a strong oppressive force. Her heart trembled instantly. She hurriedly walked out of the room and looked up at the sky.
Dozens of flying spirit boats were hovering in the air. Lin Xilan’s pretty face was full of panic. “Have … have they found me? How is that possible! No, I can’t be caught and taken back. I have to wait for my husband to come back! If my husband comes back and can’t find me, won’t he worry?”
Lin Xilan felt flustered and hurried to hide in the house. However, she suddenly froze in place. Because, a figure walked down from one of the flying spirit boats. Although the distance was too far to see the face clearly, after more than a year of marriage and intimacy, she still recognized him at a glance.
“It’s my husband! My husband is back! Great! Chi’er, your father is back, he’s come to take us!” Lin Xilan’s beautiful face was no longer panicked but filled with tenderness and joy.
In the sky, hundreds of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators lined up on both sides. A shower of flowers poured down. The entire Bai Shan City was covered in a rain of flowers. The flower rain contained pure spiritual energy, permeating the city.
Some cultivators even sat cross-legged on the ground, showing signs of breakthroughs.
Yang Chen slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of Lin Xilan.
“Wife!”
Lin Xilan embraced Yang Chi and threw herself into Yang Chen’s arms.
“Wife! Are you satisfied with the wedding I prepared for you?” Yang Chen asked softly.
“Yes, but it’s too grand, too extravagant! It’s unnecessary!” Lin Xilan whispered. Her eyes were a little moist. Her husband was too good to her. He even specially arranged a wedding ceremony.
“How can you say it’s unnecessary? You are my legally wedded wife. How can there be no wedding?” Yang Chen held Lin Xilan’s slender waist and flew up into the flying boat in the sky.
Xuantian Sect.
The grand wedding ceremony began. Although nearby immortal sects and dynasties were not invited, there were still tens of thousands of elders and disciples within Xuantian Sect.
The wedding was quite lively. Lin Xilan descended from the flying boat. She had changed into a bright red wedding dress, with a phoenix crown and veil. Her snowy skin, set off by the red wedding dress, looked even fairer. Her exquisite appearance, even within Xuantian Sect, could overwhelm some female cultivators, making them pale in comparison.
“Is this the Holy Son’s wife?”
“So beautiful!”
“I heard that the Holy Son’s wife is a mortal, not a cultivator!”
“A mortal? A mortal can be so beautiful!”
“If the Holy Son’s wife steps on the path of cultivation, wouldn’t she be peerless?”
On the Holy Son Peak, there were crowds of elders and disciples watching.
Meanwhile, Shen Xueyan also arrived at the peak of the Holy Son. Naturally, Lin Yan, the protagonist, followed behind her.
“Senior Sister Xueyan, what’s so interesting about Yang Chen’s wedding? Shall we go out and gain some experience together?” Lin Yan said beside Shen Xueyan.
Only by going out for adventures, full of dangers, could he have a chance to win over the current distant Shen Xueyan. Especially during this time, Shen Xueyan’s attitude towards him was quite indifferent, making him extremely uncomfortable.
The woman Lin Yan had set his eyes on actually treated him with indifference. How could this be? Hearing Lin Yan’s words, Shen Xueyan frowned slightly. She originally wanted to come to the Holy Son Peak alone and see what kind of woman made Yang Chen willing to give up on her and marry her. However, as soon as she stepped out, she encountered Lin Yan. And he insisted on following her.
Shen Xueyan took a deep breath and said calmly, “Junior Brother Lin Yan, I don’t want to go out for adventures during this time. I just want to be alone for a while.”
There was a subtle hint in her words, indicating that she wanted him to leave. However, Lin Yan seemed to not have heard it and continued to stand beside her.
Shen Xueyan felt somewhat angry. Then she walked directly into the crowd. Lin Yan followed closely behind her.
At this moment, Lin Xilan, dressed in phoenix crown and veil, walked out of the palace alone.
Xuantian Sect had a rule that at the Holy Son’s wedding, he had to accompany the bride to bow to the ancestors of Xuantian Sect. After the bowing ceremony, the Holy Son would spend a solitary moment in the main hall, burning incense and praying.
Meanwhile, the Holy Son’s wife would go out alone to receive the respects of the elders and disciples.
“Respects to the Holy Son’s wife!”
The news of Yang Chen breaking through to the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm and severely injuring Shen Xueyan with a single sword had already spread throughout Xuantian Sect.
Everyone knew that the Holy Son’s strength had reached the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm, and no one could challenge his position as the Holy Son anymore.
In the future, the one who would inherit the position of Sect Master would most likely be the Holy Son. As the wife legally married to the Holy Son, she would naturally become the Sect Master’s wife. Therefore, even though Lin Xilan was just a mortal, both the elders and disciples bowed respectfully to her.
“Although the Holy Son’s wife is stunningly beautiful, she is still a mortal!”
“The fact that the Holy Son is willing to give up on Fairy Shen Xueyan for a mortal seems to indicate true love!”
“No wonder the Holy Son was able to reach the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm in just over a year. It turns out he has the nourishment of love!”
“It looks like I also need to go find my love!”
“Alas, if Fairy Shen Xueyan sees this scene, I wonder if she will come to regret it?”
“After all, she should have been the one standing there!”
Standing behind the crowd, Shen Xueyan heard these whispered conversations. Her fists clenched. Shen Xueyan glanced at Lin Xilan, who was as beautiful and well-proportioned as her, and suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart. She turned around to leave. However, she suddenly froze in place. Because beside her stood Lin Yan, who had a grim expression, blood-red eyes, full of killing intent. His body was even trembling.
