Li Yongfeng was getting married, and Wang Sheng certainly couldnât overlook it; he shared a close relationship with Li Yongfeng.
There also needed to be a gift, but the selection of this gift posed some difficulty.
After much consideration, Wang Sheng ultimately decided to choose something related to the cultivation of martial artists, as that was the most practical.
It would be useful not just for Li Yongfengâs own cultivation but also for Zhang Xueâs.
Both were martial artists, and it was possible their offspring would inherit decent martial artist talents. And as martial artists, they could accompany each other even longer, which was probably what Li Yongfeng wanted most.
In the end, Wang Sheng prepared ninety-nine Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills, a book of Grandmaster Level Martial Artist Skills, a book of martial techniques, and a quantity of basic Spiritual Medicines.
Wang Sheng had many Grandmaster Level cultivation methods but hadnât given them directly to the village.
He planned to wait until there was a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist in the village before bringing them out, as the differences in cultivation techniques were essentially non-existent before reaching that level; it was all about accumulating Qi Blood Power.
This time, presenting them was perfect as the foundation of the Li Family.
After all, the Li family provided him with the crucial Tiger Bone Ointment and took care of his original self, so these gifts were not too much to offer.
Taking responsibility for past causes and effects wasnât something taken lightly; otherwise, he would have just found a secluded place and secretly cultivated on his own.
Time flew by, and the village bustled with activity.
Marriage is always an important matter, but even more so in Qingshan Village.
After the first time Li Yongfeng ventured outside and saw the recovery was indeed good, he made a few more trips to buy a lot of items, such as wine.
It was said that he also found a carpenter in the village to make a sedan chair for himself.
The people in the village also took this event very seriously, as it was the only festivity since moving into the village.
Time flew once more, and the wedding day approached.
Both Li Yongfengâs and Zhang Zeâs families started to decorate. Li Yongfeng gathered a lot of red cloth, which created a very festive atmosphere.
Wang Sheng also arrived at Li Yongfengâs home.
"Brother Yongfeng, you seem a bit nervous."
As the closest person of his age, he was to accompany Li Yongfeng in welcoming the bride.
"Of course, after all this time, I can finally get married, and most importantly, itâs to the person I love."
In this era, being able to marry oneâs beloved wasnât simple and not something everyone could achieve.
"Haha, even if it werenât for this occasion, you probably could have in a few years anyway."
Nobody else knew, but Wang Sheng was aware.
Zhang Xue had refused many marriage proposals, just waiting for Li Yongfeng to gain the approval of her father, Zhang Ze.
It was close to happening, but then King Yong Nian suddenly attacked Shuzhou, nearly causing this matter to fall through.
"Yes, my bond with your sister-in-law is indeed very deep!"
Wang Sheng said nothing because it was indeed so.
He had Yue calculate their marriage prospects.
Not to say it was destined, but with Li Yongfengâs efforts, it was nearly so. Marital fate couldnât be calculated by mere arithmetic; it required the efforts of both individuals.
"Brother Yongfeng, get ready for the bridal procession. Iâll be with you tomorrow, and Iâve brought the gift directly."
Wang Sheng took out the items he had prepared early.
Naturally, Li Yongfeng accepted them straight away; one canât refuse gifts on such an occasion.
The next morning they got busy early on.
Li Yongfeng rode out on Da Bai to fetch the bride.
Without any tall steeds in the village, Wang Sheng lent Da Bai to him. As a white tiger, Da Bai didnât lag in impressiveness.
A large red flower was also hung on Da Baiâs head, mingling majesty with festivity.
Wang Sheng followed at the side.
The two families didnât live too far from each other, and they soon arrived at Zhang Zeâs home.
Since Zhang Xue had no brothers, Liu Jianâan, who had come to the village with their family, acted as the brother and carried Zhang Xue out of the house.
Among the lively and reluctant atmosphere, the bride boarded the sedan chair.
"First bow to heaven and earth..."
After completing the wedding ceremony, the bride entered her room, while the guests outside started feasting.
Before long, Li Yongfeng came to toast at Wang Shengâs table, which consisted mainly of Li Yongfengâs closest people.
"Yun Sheng, I really canât thank you enough..."
Their family wouldnât have such a day without Wang Shengâs monumental contribution.
Wang Sheng naturally drank a cup of wine in one go, not saying much, but his blessings were implicit.
...
The next day, Li Yongfeng and Zhang Xue went through their wedding gifts.
They needed to remember these items to facilitate returning gifts in the future.
"Brother Feng, whatâs this?"
Zhang Xue had uncovered a large parcel.
Li Yongfeng glanced at it and, seeing it wasnât on the gift list, said, "This is from Yun Sheng, given to us the day before yesterday. I donât know what it is."
Zhang Xue knew of Yun Shengâher husbandâs closest friend and the most mysterious person in the village.
She continued to unwrap the parcel and saw its contents, with a piece of paper on top.
The content of the paper prompted Zhang Xue to cover her mouth.
These itemsâwerenât they a bit astonishing? The generosity was simply too great!
Even though Zhang Xue knew Wang Shengâs gifts wouldnât be poor, she was still extremely shocked.
"Brother Feng, come and look at these items!"
Before long, Li Yongfeng also saw everything.
"Ninety-nine Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills, Grandmaster Level cultivation method, martial techniques, Body Tempering Liquid, medicine for strengthening the foundation and nurturing the origin..."
Mentioning each item aloud, he was even more stupefied.
Having become a Third Grade Martial Artist, and with Yueâs frequent teachings, he was also aware of how astonishing these items truly were.
