54: Grand Wedding

The date of the grand wedding was set for one month later.

News of the engagement between the Young Master of the Qin Family and the Book Mountain Talented Women spread rapidly in all directions.

Given the Qin Family's current status and Qin Gelan's talent, it was worth it for major factions to build good relations with them.

For a time, the winds and clouds stirred; not only factions from the Southern Divine Continent, but also other factions across the Divine Continent came one after another with gifts.

Although some factions had never interacted before, it was difficult to refuse when they came of their own accord.

Moreover, the Qin Family was currently on the rise, so building good relations with more factions was ultimately beneficial.

In the Qin Family's Floating City, a grand and magnificent palace stood tall, reaching into the clouds.

It was like a pillar supporting the heavens within the entire Qin City, extremely conspicuous.

This was originally the temple of the Hall of Gods, which had been moved to the Qin Family.

At this moment, inside the Young Lord's courtyard, Yin Shengge sat opposite Qin Gelan, appearing somewhat ill at ease.

Qin Gelan shook his head and teased, "Shengge, I didn't expect you to agree to this marriage."

Hearing this, Yin Shengge looked up at Qin Gelan, her Face slightly flushed. She lowered her head again and said hesitantly, "You actually didn't have to force yourself..."

When she said this, Yin Shengge clearly looked a bit nervous, waiting for Qin Gelan's response.

"I didn't force myself; I was just a bit surprised and also pleasantly surprised." Qin Gelan looked seriously at Yin Shengge, the person who was about to become his wife.

Hearing Qin Gelan's answer, Yin Shengge's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her mouth curved up, as if she was very satisfied with this response.

Yin Shengge tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and asked softly, "Then what about Yu Linglong?"

Regarding Yin Shengge's question, Qin Gelan fell silent, momentarily at a loss for words.

If he were to use the word "friend" to describe his relationship with Yu Linglong again, even Qin Gelan himself wouldn't believe it.

Seeing Qin Gelan's predicament, Yin Shengge sensibly did not press the issue further. Instead, she stood up and walked outside.

Could Yin Shengge be angry? Qin Gelan sighed inwardly.

But then he heard Yin Shengge's playful voice: "Husband, would you care to take a walk with me?"

Qin Gelan looked up and met Yin Shengge's clear, beautiful eyes, smiling as he said, "Alright."

...Cicadas chirped and frogs croaked in the dim night, while a crescent moon hung high in the treetops.

The mid-spring breeze was not dry. Tender green lotus leaves were adorned with crystalline dewdrops that fell into the lotus pond with a "patter-patter," creating ripples.

Under the moonlight, Yin Shengge sat with her legs folded to the side, her head resting on Qin Gelan's shoulder, like a pair of lovers secluded from the world.

They hadn't known each other for long, yet they had fallen for one another.

Perhaps this is how two hearts that attract each other eventually merge into one.

They talked about everything from the Book Mountain Assembly to Book City, the poem written for Yin Shengge, and their individual experiences.

Until Yin Shengge fell asleep in Qin Gelan's arms under the quiet night sky... A month slowly passed.

On this day, the entire Qin Family was decorated with lanterns and streamers; Qin City was filled with the smoke of cooking fires and lights. It was a festive day, appearing like everyone's ultimate destination.

A thousand-story building, ten zhang of soft red silk.

As the old gives way to the new, Yin Shengge, dressed in red like a Fairy who had strayed into the mortal world, left the younger generation from the various factions staring blankly.

Qin Gelan wore a red robe and a Red Silk Crown, his handsome and upright figure exuding a sense of freedom.

Nine Purple-Gold Divine Dragons and nine Luan Phoenixes pulled a Carriage, slowly approaching the Qin Family's main hall.

Sitting in the Carriage, Yin Shengge hadn't expected that Qin Gelan would actually be able to persuade members of the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon Clan.

During the Domain Qualification Battle, Qin Gelan had suppressed all the Prodigies, including the siblings Long Zhan and Long Mo.

When Qin Gelan first contacted the two, he had intended to pay a price to ask for their help.

But Long Zhan laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "I've never been convinced by anyone else in our generation, but after the Qualification Battle, I only admire you, Qin Gelan."

In the end, Long Zhan beat his chest and took full responsibility for the matter, asking for nothing in return from Qin Gelan.

Qin Gelan wasn't pretentious either; he treated it as owing a favor and making a friend.

As for the Luan Phoenixes, he had asked Yue Qingyi for help, and she had agreed immediately; Qin Gelan was worth her favor.

For this wedding, not only did a host of super-first-class factions attend, but the Long siblings were naturally among the invited guests.

Moreover, an Elder from the Dao Tian Sect and a representative from the Demon Domain arrived with gifts to offer their congratulations, shocking the onlookers.

To think that people from Transcendent Factions would come to congratulate them—just how much Face did this Young Master of the Qin Family have?

Of course, this wasn't just due to Qin Gelan's Face, but also because of Book Mountain's involvement.

The wedding proceeded very smoothly; this time, no nonsense like a marriage-snatching incident occurred.

"Young Master Qin and the Talented Women are truly a perfect match, a marriage made in heaven."

Someone nodded, clearly thinking highly of this beautiful couple.

"That's right. With Young Master Qin's talent and Yin Shengge's brilliance, the two are very well-matched."

"Only a woman like the Talented Women could tie the knot with Young Master Qin. Thinking back to that Liu Family..." Before the speaker could finish, they were immediately stopped by someone nearby.

"Ahem..."

Realizing they had misspoken, the person tactfully shut their mouth.

No one cared about this minor interlude... At this time, in the Liu Family of Qin City, Liu Xu looked in the direction of the Qin Family. Seeing the Carriage pulled by nine Purple-Gold Divine Dragons and nine Luan Phoenixes, she sighed in her heart.

If things hadn't reached that point back then, the person sitting in that Carriage with him would have been her.

Regret welled up in Liu Xu's heart.

That's right, she regretted it, but her state of mind had also matured.

She had thought Qin Gelan would retaliate against her and the Liu Family, but from beginning to end, Qin Gelan had made no move.

Perhaps... in his heart, she had already become insignificant, not even worthy of his revenge.

Qin Gelan didn't make things difficult for the Liu Family either. In his eyes, there was a wider sky; he wouldn't linger for long on an insignificant path.

Liu Xu suddenly laughed softly. Even though Qin Gelan had slapped her in public back then, she felt no hatred in her heart now, only laughing at her past self.

Liu Xu turned around and looked at Liu Mu, who had been standing outside for a long time. With a smile of liberation, she said, "Father, let's leave."

...As newlyweds, Qin Gelan stumbled back into the room, and Yin Shengge poured him a cup of Sobering Tea.

In fact, at Qin Gelan's level of cultivation, ordinary wine could no longer get him drunk.

But today was different. On his wedding day, Qin Gelan did not use his cultivation to dispel the intoxication, instead allowing himself to be drunk.

Yin Shengge felt a bit nervous and shy, as if she could hear her own heartbeat.

Looking at Yin Shengge's clear and exquisite Face, Qin Gelan slowly drew closer.

On the day of the grand wedding, from her initial nervousness, Yin Shengge gradually calmed down.

Upon the soft red fragrant bed, Qin Gelan slowly laid Yin Shengge down.

His heart was incredibly complex as he looked at Yin Shengge. Whether in his past life or this one, this was his first wife, giving him an indescribable feeling.

On the wedding night, endless affection surrounded the pair.
