Floating Cloud City was the smallest city in the Blue Wind Empire. It was so small that it couldn't even be called a city. It would be more appropriate to call it a small town.
Not only was Floating Cloud City the smallest, it was also the most remote. In terms of population, economy, and Xuan Power, it was at the bottom of the Blue Wind Empire. The residents of Floating Cloud City often mocked themselves for being a forgotten corner of the Profound Sky Continent.
The Xiao Gate was an unremarkable existence in the Blue Wind Empire, but it was a genuine giant in Floating Cloud City.
Today, Floating Cloud City was especially lively. The reason was naturally Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue's wedding.
Xiao Che's wedding was nothing, no one cared about it. But Xia Qingyue's wedding was definitely a big event that could shake the entire Floating Cloud City.
The Xia Clan was not purely a profound cultivation clan, but had been in the business for generations. Even though their wealth was nothing in the Blue Wind Empire, they were definitely one of the wealthiest clans in Floating Cloud City.
However, this did not mean that the Xia Clan was weak. With their wealth, they could naturally hire a large number of experts to guard the clan's property.
The current Patriarch of the Xia Family, Xia Hongyi, had a pair of children, Xia Yuanba and Xia Qingyue. However, these two children were not interested in doing business at all. Instead, they focused on cultivating the profound. Xia Hongyi had also allowed this to happen and had never objected to it.
After Xia Qingyue displayed her talent that shook the entire Floating Cloud City, he would not stop her even more.
On the contrary, because of Xia Qingyue's shocking talent, all the major clans in Floating Cloud City frequently expressed their goodwill … After all, Xia Qingyue was widely recognized as someone who could reach the Earth Profound Realm, or even the Sky Profound Realm in the future. At that time, the Xia Clan would not only be wealthy, but would also dominate Floating Cloud City.
But such a Xia Clan actually wanted to let the city's most dazzling daughter marry Xiao Che, this trash with no future. Who knew how many people felt that it was a pity … Of course, there were even more people who were envious, jealous, and hateful.
Since it was the Xia Clan's daughter getting married, the scene would naturally not be shabby.
As soon as Xiao Che stepped out of the door, he saw an exaggeratedly long red carpet at the entrance. This red carpet started from the main entrance of the Xiao Family and extended in the direction of the Xia Family.
The distance between the Xia Clan and the Xiao Clan wasn't too far, but it wasn't close either.
In other words, this red carpet was at least a dozen miles long … Apart from the Xia Clan, no other clan in the entire Floating Cloud City would have such an astonishing amount of money.
As soon as the Xiao Clan's wedding procession appeared, the streets of Floating Cloud City immediately became lively. Crowds of onlookers filled both sides of the street. As the procession moved forward, all kinds of whispers entered Xiao Che's ears.
"Look!
That is the grandson of the Xiao Clan's Fifth Elder, Xiao Lie, Xiao Che. It is said that he was born with crippled profound veins, and will never be able to break through the elementary profound level in this lifetime. The Ghost King's Favored Wife: The good-for-nothing concubine. "
"Oh, this is the first time I've seen it."
"It's normal that you haven't seen him before. You have such an awesome grandfather, but you're a piece of trash. If it were you, would you still have the face to go out often?
Ai, Xia Qingyue actually married such a person, the heavens must be blind! "
"It is said that his father, Xiao Ying, and Xia Qingyue were sworn brothers. When Xia Qingyue was born, she almost couldn't be saved. Fortunately, Xiao Ying used a large amount of Xuan Power to save her. At that time, Xia Hongyi promised that when Xia Qingyue was sixteen, she would marry Xiao Ying's son and be his wife. Not long after, Xiao Ying was assassinated. Because he used a large amount of Xuan Power, he couldn't resist and died. Xia Hongyi blamed himself even more … Now that Xia Qingyue is sixteen, even though Xiao Ying's son is a good-for-nothing, Xia Hongyi has always been a loyal and righteous person. He would never go back on his promise. Otherwise, how could this guy marry Xia Qingyue?"
"Ai!
Xia Qingyue is the pearl of our Floating Cloud City. If this Xiao Che didn't have the status of the grandson of the Xiao Gate's Fifth Elder, then he wouldn't even be considered as mud.
I'm a hundred times better than him!
This world is too unfair! "
"The goddess of my dreams is actually going to marry such a good-for-nothing. I can't accept this and want to die!"
On horseback, Xiao Che's eyes were like deep pools, bright and serene. He had a handsome and elegant demeanor. He was wearing a red wedding robe and his long hair fluttered behind him. His entire body exuded an elegant and otherworldly aura. All kinds of discussions and jealousy, unwillingness, ridicule, resentment, envy, and disdain were all focused on him. However, he seemed to be oblivious to all of this. From beginning to end, his face always carried a light smile. Who knows how many girls looked at him in a daze, as if they had lost their souls.
Although Xiao Che's Xuan Power was extremely bad, his appearance was definitely not bad. He was even better than Xiao Yulong.
Adding on the fact that he rarely went out, his Xuan Power was low, making him look very weak and delicate … … he was the living embodiment of a gigolo!
Therefore, even if countless young talents hated and envied Xiao Che to the point that their teeth itched, they had no choice but to admit from the bottom of their hearts that in terms of appearance, this Xiao Che seemed to really be worthy of Xia Qingyue.
"I thought this Xiao Che would sit in a palanquin today. I didn't expect him to be riding a horse. Moreover, his temperament and expression … … it seems different from the rumors."
"Tch!
He's a good-for-nothing that everyone looks down on. Today, he's going to marry our Floating Cloud City's pearl, Xia Qingyue. Of course he's as proud as he can be!
Why would he be afraid of showing his face? "A voice resentfully said.
"I heard that the young masters of the Yuwen Clan and the young masters of the City Lord's Clan have been madly chasing after Xia Qingyue. Do you think they'll just come and steal the bride?"
"Forget it!
Xiao Che is nothing, but his grandfather is Xiao Lie, our Floating Cloud City's number one expert. Even the City Lord has to show him some respect.
His son is dead and he only has this one grandson. He'll definitely protect him to the bone. If someone comes to cause trouble, Xiao Lie will definitely be furious!
Who would dare to come and cause trouble!
Besides, this isn't a forced marriage. If anyone dares to cause trouble, they'll offend the entire Xia Clan.
I'm guessing that the young masters of those clans are all locked up in their homes. "
The wedding procession walked at a moderate pace. It took them nearly three hours to cover the distance of a dozen miles.
"Brother-in-law!!"
Just as they approached the Xia Clan's main gate, a rough shout was heard. A tall and sturdy figure quickly ran towards Xiao Che.
This person didn't look very old, but he was at least two meters tall. His body was as strong as a bull. When he ran, the ground faintly shook.
Xiao Che watched him run closer and fiercely swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His eyes widened as he said: "Yuanba!
We haven't seen each other for less than a month, how did you become so much taller!! "
This man … To be precise, he was a boy. He was Xia Qingyue's younger brother, Xia Yuanba. He was fifteen years old this year … That's right, he was really only fifteen years old!
But just by looking at his body, no one would think that he was only fifteen years old this year!
Over two meters tall … Xiao Che rode on his horse, but his head was only level with him. His weight was also over three hundred and fifty kilograms.
However, Xia Yuanba definitely wasn't fat with such weight. His muscles were bulging and there was a faint dark metallic luster to them, which contained a rather astonishing strength. My beautiful wife.
His Xuan Power was only at the fourth level of the Elementary Profound Realm. It could only be considered slightly above average, but his strength was extraordinary. Even if he fought with someone at the sixth level of the Elementary Profound Realm, he wouldn't be afraid.
Xia Yuanba was Xiao Che's only best friend. He had always called Xiao Che brother-in-law since he was young, and the two played together since they were young.
Before the age of eight, Xia Yuanba was still dark and skinny, and was often bullied by others. After the age of eight, Xia Yuanba seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. His height and weight increased exponentially, and his appetite and strength also became more and more astonishing. Now that he was fifteen years old … Just by looking at his face, one could still vaguely see some youthfulness, but his body … was simply on the level of a monster!
Hearing Xiao Che's words, Xia Yuanba rubbed his head and said with a face of embarrassment: "This … I can't do anything about it.
My old man makes me lose weight every day, but making me hungry is worse than killing me. "
"…" Xiao Che was speechless.
If he was already in this state at the age of fifteen, when he became an adult … it was simply unimaginable!
Xia Yuanba's appetite was something that Xiao Che had seen many times. Fortunately, he was born in the Xia Family. If he was born in a normal family, he would have already gone bankrupt from eating.
"Hehe, brother-in-law, today you are officially my brother-in-law."
Xia Yuanba smiled honestly. Regarding his sister marrying Xiao Che, he was very happy, so much so that he had been looking forward to this day.
Because in his opinion, with such a powerful sister as his wife, no one would dare to look down on Xiao Che anymore.
"Come in quickly, my sister has already prepared everything." Saying this, Xia Yuanba slapped his forehead: "Oh right, I will go open the door."
After saying this, Xia Yuanba rushed towards the Xia Family's main gate, running like a moving mountain of meat.
As soon as the wedding procession entered the Xia Family, Xiao Che saw a smiling Xia Hongyi. He hurriedly dismounted from his horse, walked in front of Xia Hongyi, and respectfully bowed: "Uncle Xia."
"Hehe, at this time, you are still calling me uncle?" Xia Hongyi gently smiled.
Xia Hongyi's stature was not tall, and in his middle age, he was somewhat chubby. His overall appearance was simple and honest, but in Floating Cloud City, no one dared to look down on him.
Xiao Che narrowed his eyes, and respectfully said: "Father-in-law."
He had always respected Xia Hongyi.
Because he was his father's sworn brother.
Ever since he was young, he had been looked down upon by countless people, but Xia Hongyi had always taken good care of him. Even though he was born with crippled Xuan Veins, he still did not violate the agreement he made with his father. When Xia Qingyue turned sixteen, he took the initiative to marry her to Xiao Che.
"Hehe, good!"
Xia Hongyi nodded, and patted Xiao Che's shoulder: "Che'er, from today onwards, I will hand Qing Yue over to you.
Although you are not a great hero, nor are you an influential person, just because you are Xiao Ying's son, I can let my daughter marry you without any worries.
Your father, Xiao Ying, is extremely talented, and he is a man who values friendship and righteousness. To be able to become brothers with him is the one thing I will not regret in my life.
You are Xiao Ying's son. Even if your Xuan Veins are crippled, I do not believe that you will be an ordinary person in the future. "
"Treat my daughter well. As for those rumors and slanders, let them be."
Xiao Che's eyes slightly moved, and then he slowly and firmly nodded: "Father-in-law, don't worry. Although I am now looked down upon by others, a hidden dragon will awaken one day. When that time comes, I will make all those who look down on me, and those who ridicule the Xia Family for having a useless son-in-law, shut their mouths."
Xia Hongyi was stunned … The Xiao Che he knew had always been gentle and weak, with a gentle temperament, and would often inadvertently reveal an inferiority complex.
But now, he had actually said such bold words to him. Furthermore, his gaze was sharp, his expression was calm, and his gaze was so deep that it made him feel as if he couldn't see through him … It was completely different from his previous frail attitude.
"Good!"
Xia Hongyi nodded, and patted Xiao Che's shoulder again: "I believe that Xiao Ying's son will not be an ordinary person. I will wait for the moment when you become a hidden dragon.
Alright, Qingyue's side is ready, go. "
