Chapter 3425: The Spirit-Boosting Secret Technique
Hearing there was a good show to watch, Little Meiâs eyes immediately lit up, "What show?"
Lin Moyu said, "You eat first, it hasnât started yet so thereâs no rush."
Little Mei made an "oh" sound and continued eating.
Lin Moyu said to Pan Bojie, "By my calculation, it should be about time. Even if the Sha family doesnât come, why havenât the Jiang family people arrived?"
Pan Bojie also felt something was off at this point, "Thatâs right, why havenât the Jiang family people come? This doesnât seem quite right."
At this time Pan Chen said, "Brother, could the rumors be true?"
Pan Bojie said, "This is just a rumor, donât believe it lightly."
Lin Moyu smiled and asked, "Can Brother Pan tell us what this is about?"
Pan Bojie clearly didnât want to say, "Itâs just a rumor, Friend Lin need not listen."
Lin Moyu said, "Since itâs a rumor, just treat it as a joke. Itâs no harm to listen."
Pan Bojie had been chatting happily with Lin Moyu, even feeling like they were old friends meeting late. Seeing Lin Moyu insist, he relented, "Then Iâll just mention it casually, and Friend Lin can listen casually."
"Actually, Young Master Jiang Lixin and Miss Sha Shinanâs marriage had been in preparation for half a year. Everyone in our Floating City, big and small, knew about it and received invitations."
"But just two days ago, a piece of gossip suddenly spread, saying that the young master of the Wu family from Rift Wind Cliff had taken a liking to Miss Sha Shinan."
"Friend Lin should also know of the Wu family. The Wu family is extremely powerful, comparable to the Dongfang family. How could the Sha family dare to offend the Wu familyâs young master?"
Lin Moyu asked, "Is the Wu familyâs young master Wu Xingguang?"
Pan Bojie said, "Thatâs right, itâs Wu Xingguang. Itâs said that his younger brother Wu Xingchen has already been designated as the Wu familyâs next head. With his brotherâs power, the Sha family is even less able to offend him."
Lin Moyu already had a general idea of what was going on. The rest didnât need to be said. He took a sip of wine, "This probably isnât a rumor."
Pan Bojie was slightly startled, "What does Friend Lin mean by that?"
Lin Moyu said, "I know Wu Xingguang. He is indeed capable of doing such a thing."
At this time, a group of people walked out from the Jiang familyâs back courtyard, immediately attracting everyoneâs attention.
The Jiang family people had arrived, which meant this wedding was about to truly begin.
Pan Bojieâs attention was immediately diverted, "The Jiang family people have come, there shouldnât be any problem."
Lin Moyu didnât think so. Wu Xingguang had failed to propose marriage at the Cold Water Holy Land, then went to Thunder City only to be driven away by the Thunder Dao Person, with even the two seventh-level elders protecting him severely injured.
In Thunder City, Wu Xingguang had already shown a hint of tyranny, changing from proposing marriage to forcibly taking a bride.
Now he had settled for second best and come here. Facing the Floating Cityâs Sha family, whose power was far inferior to the Wu familyâs, Wu Xingguang could simply take by force.
Lin Moyu saw that the Jiang family peopleâs faces didnât look good. The Jiang familyâs strength was similar to the Sha familyâs, with their highest realm being only a fourth-level Dao Venerable, worlds apart from the Wu family.
"Even a hair from the Wu familyâs nine oxen would be stronger than the Sha family. Why would Wu Xingguang need to forcibly marry the Sha familyâs princess? It doesnât benefit him at all."
"Could it be that he really took a liking to the Sha familyâs princess? That shouldnât be the case. Given Wu Xingguangâs character, he wouldnât be bewitched by beauty."
"Then there must be a deeper reason behind this. The problem is very likely with the Sha familyâs princess herself."
Lin Moyu leisurely drank his wine. He had no intention of intervening in this matter, just wanting to watch the show.
The Sha family was neither kith nor kin to him, so naturally he wouldnât touch this karma.
Now he only wanted to sever karma. His coming to the Jiang family was also for this purpose, so naturally he would not interfere if he could avoid it.
Little Mei glanced at Lin Moyu, roughly knowing Lin Moyuâs thoughts. If her teacher wasnât going to interfere, she wouldnât either. She only cared about eating now, then watching the show.
After the Jiang family people arrived, they didnât take their seats. Someone came to say a few words to the groom Jiang Lixin, and Jiang Lixin immediately retreated to the back courtyard.
The Jiang family people then began to disperse, greeting the guests at each table, which could be seen as both placating and explaining.
Lin Moyu watched Jiang Lixin as he left. The bad luck around him had thickened. Something was likely about to happen.
Among the Jiang family people who came, there were two Lin Moyu knew. One of them was Jiang Bei, whom he had met at the Thunder Secret Treasury in the Eastern Continent.
He held an important position in the Jiang family and was clearly presiding over this event.
Jiang Beibei suddenly felt someone looking at him and couldnât help but look over, meeting Lin Moyuâs gaze.
He was startled and quickly walked over, cupping his hands to Lin Moyu, "Friend Lin, long time no see."
Lin Moyu also smiled and said, "Lin has come to drink a cup of wedding wine. I hope Friend Jiang doesnât mind."
Jiang Beibei was extremely respectful, "How could I dare? Friend Linâs presence brings glory to our Jiang family, it is our Jiang familyâs fortune."
"Itâs just a pity..." Jiang Beibei suddenly transmitted to Lin Moyu, "Itâs just a pity that Friend Lin probably wonât be able to drink this wedding wine."
Lin Moyu also smiled and said, "Is it because of Wu Xingguang?"
Jiang Beibei was stunned for a moment, and continued transmitting, "So Friend Lin already knows. Please keep your voice down, we canât afford to offend the Wu family."
Lin Moyu said, "You donât need to transmit, they canât hear."
Jiang Beibei looked around and found that indeed no one was paying attention to them, knowing that Lin Moyu had done something.
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "That Wu Xingguang fellow is planning to forcibly take the bride, right?"
Jiang Beibei sighed, "More or less. He did offer some benefits, but we donât want them. Yet we donât dare to refuse."
Lin Moyu asked, "Whatâs the Sha familyâs attitude? Havenât you gone to the Dongfang family?"
Jiang Beibei said, "To be honest, Ruonan and Lixin can be considered childhood sweethearts. Their marriage is something both our families are happy to see."
"So neither the Sha family nor Shinan will agree. Weâve been to the Dongfang family, and they said they would send someone over, but itâs very likely to be useless."
"The Dongfang family wonât offend the Wu family for our sake. After all, Wu Xingguang is Wu Xingchenâs elder brother, and Wu Xingchen might be the future head of the Wu family."
Jiang Beibeiâs words were full of helplessness.
Lin Moyu said, "Then does Friend Jiang know why Wu Xingguang insists on marrying Sha Shi?"
There were countless women in the world, many with better family backgrounds than Sha Shinan. Why did Wu Xingguang insist on forcibly marrying Sha Shinan?
From Gu Hanjing to Lei Pengpeng, and now Jiang Shinan.
Wu Xingguangâs targets all seemed unusual. He probably wasnât choosing randomly.
Jiang Beibei said, "Weâve thought about this question too. After thinking it over, thereâs only one possibility."
At this point, Jiang Beibei showed some hesitation and didnât continue.
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "If itâs inconvenient, then forget it."
Jiang Beibei gritted his teeth and decided to speak, "Actually, itâs nothing much. Itâs just a secret technique of the Sha family, a kind of dual cultivation technique called Spirit Boosting."
"The Spirit Boosting secret technique can enhance all techniques, improve realm, and increase combat power by about one level."
"Moreover, this enhancement has no side effects and is effective for those below the seventh level of Dao Venerable. If a sixth-level Dao Venerable uses this secret technique, they can rival a seventh-level elder."
"The only drawback is that it needs to be practiced regularly. After each practice, it can be maintained for a period of time."
"And it requires the Sha family person to be willing. If forced, it has no effect."
Lin Moyu completely understood. He finally knew what Wu Xingguang wanted to do.
