Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Welcoming the Bride

“Boy, the girl is about to become someone else’s wife, and you still have the mood to stay in these deep mountains and old forests? Are you still injured and your brain is damaged?” The millennium Corpse Ginseng said to Fang Lin while munching on an ancient medicinal herb.

Fang Lin sat under an ancient tree, silently meditating, looking rather composed.

“If she wants to marry, let her marry. What does that have to do with me?” Fang Lin said, seemingly unconcerned about Dugu Nian’s upcoming marriage to Crown Prince Zhou Yishui.

Corpse Ginseng glared at him and said impatiently: “You really are heartless, aren’t you? Even I can’t stand it!”

Fang Lin smiled: “If you can’t stand it, just go to Xuan City, take out Zhou Yishui and the Emperor of Xuan. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?”

“You are really losing your mind! Poor girl, she’s going to be taken advantage of by Zhou Yishui.” Corpse Ginseng sighed, glancing at Fang Lin to gauge his reaction.

...

But Fang Lin remained calm, seemingly engrossed in his meditation and ignoring everything Corpse Ginseng had said.

The golden puppy lay beside Fang Lin, appearing very lazy, spending most of the time napping, and only playing with Corpse Ginseng when awake.

Zhou Zhishui and Zhou Xiruo are also here, ordered around by Fang Lin like maids.

Both women felt frustrated. They were commandery princesses in Xuan Country, extraordinarily noble, yet they were ordered around by Fang Lin like maids.

Although they were irritated, Zhou Zhishui and Zhou Xiruo had no thoughts of resisting. They were completely submissive in front of Fang Lin, daring not to show the slightest disrespect.

This was the reverence for the strong. Both women understood that if Fang Lin wanted to kill them, he could do it in an instant.

“Nian is to be married to the Crown Prince. Will you not do anything?” Zhou Xiruo asked cautiously.

Fang Lin glanced at her. She leapt slightly in fright, worried that she had said something wrong, and quickly lowered her head.

“You two would love for me to do something, so you can both have the chance to free yourselves from my control, right?” Fang Lin said with a grin.

Zhou Xiruo’s pupils contracted in fright. She didn’t dare admit it and shook her head repeatedly.

Fang Lin didn’t care, casually saying, “It doesn’t matter to me who she marries. If I show up now, who knows how many royal masters would come to suppress me.”

“But don’t you care about Dugu Nian?” Zhou Zhishui asked, her eyes shining.

“Of course I do. If she’s in danger, I’ll save her.” Fang Lin said.

Zhou Zhishui furrowed her brows: “What if Dugu Nian doesn’t want to marry Zhou Yishui?”

Fang Lin looked at her, smiled slightly: “That’s not a question for me to answer. Even if she doesn’t want to, what can she do? She can’t decide that, and neither can I.”

Corpse Ginseng suddenly jumped up: “Boy, when did you become so underwhelming?”

Fang Lin slapped Corpse Ginseng, almost knocking it into the dirt.

“Anyway, who Dugu Nian marries or ends up with, it has nothing to do with me.” Fang Lin said, then closed his eyes and said no more.

Corpse Ginseng was so angry that it even stopped chewing on the ancient medicinal herb and threw it aside, baring its teeth at Fang Lin.

The golden puppy looked at Fang Lin and stretched out its smooth little tongue to lick Fang Lin’s hand.

Zhou Zhishui stared deeply at Fang Lin, trying to figure out what he was really thinking, but she couldn’t see through him.

Late at night, Fang Lin opened his eyes and pulled out a slightly yellowed piece of paper from the Nine Palace Bag.

This letter was left to Fang Lin by Dugu Nian when she left Purple Mist Sect. A long time had passed, but Fang Lin kept it and did not dispose of it.

Looking at the letter and the somewhat scribbled handwriting on it, Fang Lin’s expression remained indifferent and calm.

·····

On the 17th of August, was the day Crown Prince Zhou Yishui was to marry Dugu Nian, the only daughter of the Dugu Family.

Seven days ago, the Dugu Family had sent people to escort Dugu Nian to Xuan City, and she arrived just in time for today’s event.

The whole of Xuan City was jubilant. For the common people, this was the most exciting day because they could see important figures they would not normally get a chance to see.

The preparations outside of Xuan City had been completed, the scene was grand with attendees from all sides arriving to witness the important moment these two great powers join forces.

For the royal family and the Dugu Family, today was a very important day. Although the two powers had already been secretly interacting with each other, a true alliance was to be forged today.

This marriage was the best way to form an alliance.

Crown Prince Zhou Yishui appeared, rode on a magnificent white horse, wore a purple-gold Dragon Robe, looked grand and handsome. Behind him was the Prince’s wedding entourage.

Many people looked at Crown Prince Zhou Yishui with admiration. He was rightly considered the top talent in Xuan Country, considering not just his character, but also his skills and natural gifts.

“Greetings to the Crown Prince.” Some people bowed to the Crown Prince, their attitudes very respectful.

“Everyone, no need to stand on ceremony. Today is my wedding day; thank you for coming.” Zhou Yishui smiled and spoke to the crowd, his disposition quite humble, not showing any arrogance.

“Crown Prince, Dugu Family’s escort procession is thirty miles outside the city.” Someone came to report.

Zhou Yishui nodded and smiled, leading the wedding party out of the city.

It was bustling outside the city. The royal family set up a grand banquet. Everyone sat down, and the scene was glorious.

When the Crown Prince and his wedding procession appeared, everyone stood and bowed. Even those older than Zhou Yishui did the same.

However, there were also those who scorned Zhou Yishui, such as Wang Erdan, Mei Yingxue and a few others.

Top-tier forces like Five Elements Sect, Heavenly Fragrance Valley, and Shenxiao Sect naturally sent representatives to attend Zhou Yishui’s wedding. Although these top-tier forces held grievances against the royal family, they had not yet broken ties with it. When the royal family sent wedding invitations, even if they didn’t want to come, they still sent representatives, maintaining the necessary courtesies.

“The Emperor of Xuan has arrived!” At this moment, the Xuan Emperor appeared, wearing a golden dragon robe, surrounded by numerous royal masters.

“Father.” Zhou Yishui immediately dismounted and bowed to Xuan Emperor.

“Greetings to the Xuan Emperor!” All the people in the city and the martial artists outside the city who came to attend the wedding, all bowed to the Xuan Emperor.

“Today is my son’s wedding day. Let’s keep the ceremonies short. Please forgive any lack of hospitality and thank you all for coming from far away.” Xuan Emperor said with a smile.

From a distance, the Dugu Family’s wedding procession arrived, and what caught everyone’s eyes was an extremely luxurious sixteen men red bridal sedan. The Dugu Family’s people were crowded around, slowly heading towards Xuan City.
