Chapter 2292
byQiu Yu sighed and said, “Brother Yang, you’re not making things difficult for me.”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Don’t be so distant. This matter is just a piece of cake for you. It’s not like asking you to take off your clothes and run around naked here. Be straightforward. Will you change the seats or not?”
Qiu Yu looked at him with twitching face and said, “What if I change？ What if I don’t？”
Yang Kai chuckled, patted Qiu Yu’s shoulder, and casually wiped the fruit juice on his hand on his clothes, saying, “If you change, then we are good friends, and it’s good for you, me, and everyone. If you don’t change… I might as well go and have a good chat with the city lord and ask him about his precious daughter’s…”
“That’s enough！” Qiu Yu’s face turned cold, and he directly slapped Yang Kai’s hand away, glaring at him and gritting his teeth and saying, “You are threatening me！”
“Is there?” Yang Kai blinked. “Brother Qiu misunderstood. I was just discussing with you.”
Qiu Yu said indignantly, “I knew I shouldn’t have asked you for news about Luo Bing. You despicable villain！”
Yang Kai said with a smile, “Young man, don’t be so easily angered. Anger hurts the body！”
Qiu Yu looked at him coldly. After a long while, he turned around and left from his seat, directly coming to a man who looked like a butler and whispering a few words.
When the butler heard this, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be in a difficult position. He also looked at the place where the Thousand Leaves Sect and others were a few times and slightly shook his head.
But Qiu Yu didn’t know what else he said to him, and the butler then nodded with a ugly face and agreed.
A moment later, the steward walked up to the people of Thousand Leaves Sect and clasped his hands and said, “My lords, today there are many matters to attend to, and it seems the servants have been a bit negligent. The seats for gentlemen are not here. Please follow this old man and change to another position. For any slack, please forgive us a lot.
When Du Xian, Ye Qinghan and the others heard this, they were all stunned and didn’t know what this steward was up to.
Yang Kai, however, chuckled and bowed to the steward, saying, “Thank you!”
As he spoke, he winked at Ye Qinghan and the others.
Although the crowd was still completely confused, they still stood up and, led by the steward, directly walked to an empty table in the frontmost position. Under the steward’s arrangement, they take their seats in turn.
After being properly placement, the steward then left.
Only then did Ye Qinghan turn her head and look at Yang Kai, asking, “Young Master Yang, what exactly is going on？ What did you say to Qiu Yu？”
She knew that with the current strength of Thousand Leaves Sect and its relationship with Heavenly Crane City, it was impossible to receive such treatment. The only explanation was Yang Kai’s previous secret talk with Qiu Yu.
After all, Qiu Yu had looked for the steward after leaving, and immediately their positions would be swapped.
Du Xian and the others also looked at Yang Kai with curiosity, expecting him to give an answer.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “It’s nothing. Brother Qiu and I hit it off right away and talked heart to heart when we met again. He thought that the City Lord’s Mansion had treated you too negligently, so he took the initiative to suggest changing your table for you.”
Obviously, no one believed it.
Ye Qinghan said, “There must be something fishy if I believe you！”
Yang Kai said, “Brother Qiu is still a very nice person.”
The commotion here caught the eyes of many guests, and they were secretly shocked. After all, everyone knew something about the relationship between Thousand Leaves Sect and Heavenly Crane City. At this moment, they were suddenly moved to the frontmost table. This small abnormality inevitably made people suspicious and guess whether Thousand Leaves Sect and Heavenly Crane City had made peace. If this was really the case, then perhaps they should also reconsider whether to show kindness to Thousand Leaves Sect.
The atmosphere in the inner hall suddenly became strange.
The people of Thousand Leaves Sect were also fidgeting. They could always feel a lot of strange eyes looking at them from all around, making them feel very uncomfortable.
And as time passed, the empty tables and chairs in the inner hall were gradually filled by the latecomers, and the whole inner hall gradually returned to the noisy atmosphere.
At a certain moment, suddenly someone shouted, “The City Lord is here！”
As soon as the words came out, the whole inner hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked in one direction.
I saw a person over there wearing a big red robe, stepping out, with a happy smile on his face, constantly cupping his hands towards all directions.
“Greetings to the City Lord！”
“It’s been a long time since we last met. The City Lord’s elegance is even better than in the past, which makes people envy！”
“Congratulations to the City Lord for successfully marrying a beautiful and charming wife. The City Lord is really a model for our generation！”
“On this happy day, I wish the City Lord good health, prosperous martial arts, continuous descendants, and an immortal family！”
……
From all directions, the guests congratulated in unison, each with a big smile on their faces, doing their best to flatter.
The person wearing the big red robe also kept exchanging greetings, with an extremely carefree smile.
“Is this Luo Jin？” Yang Kai widened his eyes and asked Ye Qinghan in a low voice.
Ye Qinghan had a sullen face and nodded, saying, “That’s him！”
Yang Kai’s mouth twitched and said, “If you didn’t say it, I would have thought it was Luo Jin’s father…”
Yang Kai was also seeing the City Lord of Tianhe City for the first time. He originally thought that since this guy could take fifteen concubines, he must have good ways to maintain his appearance and be full of energy. Even with the cultivation of the Third-Order Dao Source Realm, he definitely wouldn’t look too old.
But the person in front of him was a half-old man with gray and sparse hair. Although he had good cultivation, his Qi and blood were weak and floating, and it was obvious that he had entered his old age and had no hope of promoting to the Emperor Respect Jing in this life.
The big red robe he was wearing further set off his old age.
“Which family’s girl is it? She’s really blind！” Wu Ma also kept shaking his head aside, feeling sad for the woman who was marrying Luo Jin today.
Shut up, be careful of disaster coming out of your mouth! Du Xian glared at Wu Ma and said in a low voice “Don’t you know that none of Luo Jin’s concubines married him voluntarily?
Wu Ma snorted and said, “It’s because he has done too many bad things of bullying men and women, so he has never had descendants. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the cycle of heaven is good！”
“You still say！”
Wu Ma pouted and said, “All right, all right, I won’t say anymore.”
The scene was lively and extremely festive.
After a long while, a voice shouted out, “The auspicious time has come！”
In an instant, the wind and percussion instruments around sounded loudly, and the gongs and drums were noisy, as if they were going to lift the roof.
Luo Jin’s face also emitted a burst of red light. He straightened his clothes and looked out the door with a smile on his face.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked over there together. Everyone had a smile on their face, and their eyes were filled with anticipation.
It seemed that the music was playing melodiously from outside. Accompanied by the sound of the music, a wedding procession gradually came into the sight of everyone. A woman dressed as a matchmaker walked in the front, twisting her fat waist like a water bucket. The smile on her face was sickeningly sweet. She walked beside a four-person sedan chair, slowly walking towards this side, showing off to the fullest.
Behind the sedan chair, there were children following constantly throwing the flower petals in the flower baskets in their hands.
Wherever the sedan chair passed, the flower petals paved the way and the fragrance of flowers filled the air.
Behind the virgins with flower baskets, there were another two columns of virgins each carrying a lantern and following behind. On the lanterns, there were many festive words such as “a happy union lasting a hundred years” and “a happy marriage is made”.
After that, it was the wedding procession. They were all women, and each of them was crying with tears streaming down their faces, as if they were the people from the bride’s husband’s family.
It took a full cup of tea time to walk just a few dozen zhang of the road. Then the sedan chair came to the door of the inner hall.
“Set down the sedan chair！” someone shouted loudly, and then the sedan chair landed steadily.
The matchmaker stepped forward, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and stretched out a hand inside. Immediately, a fair and soft hand was placed on it.
Just this little hand made countless men’s eyes light up.
The jade hand was fair and flawless, the skin was fairer than frost and snow, as if it could be broken by blowing and flicking, making people daydream and imagine that the person with such a jade hand must be charming. But this person was about to become Luo Jin’s fifteenth concubine, which was really regrettable, making people both envious and jealous.
Immediately afterwards, a big red embroidered shoe protruded from the sedan chair and landed on the red carpet at the door, and the wonderful figure that dazzled the eyes was then imprinted into the field of vision.
The bride wore a phoenix coronet and a wedding dress, with a red veil on her head. The wedding dress was embroidered with golden phoenixes flapping their wings and about to fly, and the tassels of the phoenix coronet full of pearls and jades blocked the infinitely fascinating face.
At this moment, countless people cursed in their hearts.
There was no other reason. The phoenix coronet and red veil worn on the bride’s head seemed to have the effect of blocking the detection of spiritual thoughts. It was extraordinary secret treasure!
The spiritual thoughts released by all the warriors who wanted to secretly check the bride’s face were blocked by an invisible barrier, and they couldn’t see the situation inside at all.
Luo Jin seemed to know what everyone was thinking at the moment. After looking around and secretly warning them, he then smiled with satisfaction.
Yang Kai also pouted vigorously at this moment.
Just like others, he had quietly released his spiritual thoughts to see what the bride looked like, but he didn’t expect to be blocked by that secret treasure.
This secret treasure has extraordinary power. If he forcibly drive his spiritual thoughts he could probably break through and see the true face of Lushan, but after all, this is a concubine ceremony. If he really did that, it would definitely attract attention and cause unnecessary trouble.
So he just probed a little and then didn’t try again, just quietly watching.
At this moment, with the support and guidance of the matchmaker, the bride walked step by step towards the inner hall.
Although he couldn’t see her face clearly, from the faintly revealed outline under the wedding dress, he could still see that this woman had a good figure and must be a graceful person.
Yang Kai looked at her and suddenly frowned, as if he perceived something was wrong, but he couldn’t say exactly what was wrong.
More importantly, the feeling of palpitations and restlessness from yesterday suddenly surged up again, making his brows furrow tightly.
He turned his head and looked at Ye Qinghan and the others, and saw that they didn’t notice anything.
However, the scene in front of her seemed to have inspired Ye Qinghan’s deep-seated desire. At this moment, looking at the bride walking step by step, there was a look of anticipation in her beautiful eyes, as if imagining that one day she could also wear a phoenix coronet and a bridal gown like this and marry the person she loved the most.
She secretly looked at Du Xian, and her small face turned slightly red.
Soon, a group of people finally walked to the inner hall. The matchmaker handed the silk ribbon in her hand to Luo Jin and said with a smile, “Sir, I have handed the bride over to you. You must treat her well in the future.”
Luo Jin laughed loudly and said, “I will definitely not let her be bullied at all.”
The matchmaker said, “The bride is so lucky. Why am I so unlucky in my life and didn’t meet a man like you, sir?”
A group of people burst into laughter, and the lively atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.
