Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yes, father!”
With the help of Jiu’er and the other maids, Mu Caiwei left the room. The sedan chair was already waiting outside.
“Caiwei!”
At that moment, King Mu suddenly called out. A few seconds later, he said in a hoarse voice, “I-I’m sorry!”
His daughter was only in her teens, but she had already shared the burden of the King Mu Fort with him. She had sacrificed too much, and now she had to sacrifice her own happiness for the fort.
Mu Caiwei’s body trembled slightly before she turned around to look at King Mu. She lifted the curtain of pearls hanging from her phoenix crown and smiled sweetly, “Father, today is a joyous day. We shouldn’t cry. You must give me your blessings!”
She then left the room without looking back.
Outside the King Mu Fort, the place had already been completely surrounded. Countless people stretched their necks, waiting for their goddess to come out.
When Mu Caiwei, who was dressed in a wedding dress walked out, everyone fell into an uproar. The scene was replaced by a series of gasps.
Under the bright sunlight, the bright red phoenix crown on Mu Caiwei’s head shone brightly. As the pearl curtain swayed, her eyebrows, snow-white skin, bright eyes and beautiful lips were faintly discernible.
It was as if a celestial maiden had descended from the heavens, dazzling and stunning.
“Goddess, my goddess, why did you marry a piece of trash? Did all the men in this world die?”
“My heart is aching so much. Can someone give me a stab so that I’d die a quick death? I don’t want to live anymore…”
“…”
As Mu Caiwei appeared, the crowd was in an uproar. Countless people tried to stop her, but they were stopped by the guards of the King Mu Fort.
Mu Caiwei boarded a red palanquin with the help of a maidservant.
Meanwhile, a group of tall horses walked slowly from the other end of the street. Ye Chen got off his horse under everyone’s envious and jealous gazes and walked slowly to the palanquin.
The host of the ceremony shouted, “Groom, fetch the bride out of the palanquin!”
A servant girl passed a jade scepter over. Ye Chen took the scepter and put it into the palanquin. Mu Caiwei walked out while holding the other end of the scepter.
The moment Ye Chen saw Mu Caiwei in her wedding dress, he could not help but stare at her even though he was mentally prepared.
Subsequently, someone passed a red ribbon to Ye Chen and Mu Caiwei.
“Cross the brazier!”
As the ceremony host said that, Ye Chen led Mu Caiwei to the front. There was a brazier at the entrance of the King Mu Fort.
After stepping over the brazier, the group walked into the hall of the King Mu Fort. There were already countless people waiting there.
When they saw Ye Chen holding Mu Caiwei’s hand, many young elites from the King Mu Fort had their eyes twitching. They had sworn to marry Mu Caiwei ever since they were young.
In the end, an outsider was benefitted!
This outsider was a piece of trash that could not cultivate!
The high-ranking officers of the King Mu Fort had terrible expressions on their faces, but they did not flare up. It was obvious that King Mu had called ahead of time.
There was a long red carpet at the entrance of the hall. The end of the red carpet extended all the way to the top of the hall. King Mu sat there with a forced smile.
The host said again, “The bride and groom will hold hands now!”
Someone took the jade scepter over immediately. Ye Chen was hesitant to grab Mu Caiwei’s hand since it was only a ceremony.
Moreover, apart from Su Yuhan, he had never touched other women, even if it was just holding hands!
While he was hesitating, Mu Caiwei took the initiative to stretch her slender hand over and interlocked her fingers with Ye Chen’s.
At that moment, Ye Chen could feel that her hand was shaking lightly. She seemed nervous and resistant at the same time. Her hand was very cold. It was so cold that it seemed like it had been frozen.
The two of them walked into the hall without saying a word. The host took the documents that he had prepared beforehand and began to read out the identity of the bride and groom, how they got to know each other, and then introduced the guests…
After a series of procedures, the host said, “The auspicious time has come. Let us bow to Heaven and Earth!”
Mu Caiwei bowed.
However, Ye Chen was unmoved.
He would not bow to the heavens, nor would he bow to the earth!
The reason being the world was under his control!
Many people secretly frowned when they saw that. They thought that Ye Chen had gone mad from excitement. King Mu said in a deep voice, “Qianhan, what are you doing?”
“Let’s announce the second segment!”
Before Ye Chen could say anything, Mu Caiwei lifted her head and looked at the host next to her. She helped Ye Chen out of his predicament very considerately.
The host said again, “Second bow to the king!”
This time, Ye Chen merely cupped his hands at King Mu.
King Mu became even more upset, but when he thought about how this marriage had never been decided by the two of them, he could only pretend to turn a blind eye.
The host finally said, “Now, the husband and wife will bow to each other…”
Ye Chen turned to Mu Caiwei. At the same time, Mu Caiwei turned to him as well. Just when she was about to bow, a shout was heard.
“Hold up!”
As this voice fell, King Mu’s expression changed slightly, and Mu Caiwei’s face that was hidden under the curtain of phoenix crown pearls turned cold as well.
Everyone turned around to look, and they saw a middle-aged man in violet embroidered robes slowly walk in, and behind him was a young man with slanted brows and starry eyes.
“It’s City Governor Situ!”
Many guests’ expressions changed drastically. For a moment, the entire wedding venue fell into dead silence.
King Mu stood up and said with a terrible expression, “Brother Situ, today is a joyous day for our King Mu Fort. I’m afraid it’s not good for you to disturb us rashly, right?”
Following his words, the upper echelons of the King Mu Fort all stood up, looking at Situ Yun and his son with unfriendly gazes.
“Hahaha!”
Situ Yun laughed loudly and said, “Brother Mu, aren’t we friends? Our families have known each other in Tianfeng City for a few years, yet you didn’t invite my City Governor’s Mansion on such a joyous day.”
Everyone suddenly came to a realization.
King Mu faked a smile and said, “My daughter’s marriage is just a family matter. How can we alarm the City Governor’s Mansion? I appreciate Brother Situ’s good intentions, but please return. I’ll definitely visit with generous gifts in the future.”
He seemed to have issued the order to chase them out.
However, Situ Yun remained unmoved, and he seemed as if he had not heard him at all. He continued smiling as he said, “Brother Mu, I’m already here, so there’s no rush to leave. I want to see what sort of man exactly is capable of marrying Caiwei.”
“Yes, uncle!”
Situ Yu stood out as well. He looked at Ye Chen while smiling, “I believe you’re Brother Shi Qianhan, right? I heard that Brother Shi’s martial vein is damaged and your cultivation base is gone. I don’t believe it. After all, not everyone can win Ms. Mu’s heart.”
Towards the end, he clasped his fists at Ye Chen and said sincerely, “I’m Situ Yu from the City Governor’s Mansion. My cultivation base is at the peak of the innate stage. I hope that Brother Shi can show me a hand or two!”
After he finished speaking, he actually flashed towards Ye Chen!
“Bastard!”
Seeing this scene, King Mu flew into a rage. He suddenly waved, an invisible force immediately rushed towards Situ Yu.
Buzz!
With a sweep of his sleeve, Situ Yun silently dissolved that strand of energy, and he grinned as he said, “Brother Mu, it’s only a spar between the younger generation. You and I should just watch from the side!”
