Volume 1 The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 5 The Wedding

With the support of the two bridesmaids, Xia Qingyue finally appeared in front of Xiao Che. She wore a bright red phoenix crown on her head, and the fine bead curtain hanging down from the phoenix crown completely covered her entire face, making it impossible for anyone to see her face and expression clearly. Her long black hair was tied softly behind her back, and she was wearing a straight-sleeved red wedding robe made of Sixi Ruyi cloud-patterned brocade, with her waist tied up to stretch out her slender willow waist. Wearing an exquisite jade belt around her waist, with thin pearl tassels hanging from the jade belt, and gold silk shoes on her feet, her gorgeous outfit is even more eye-catching on her body.

With the support of the bridesmaid, Xia Qingyue slowly walked towards Xiao Che beside the sedan chair. Every step she took was light and graceful, as if she were stepping on clouds. It was also walking. Ordinary women were walking, but on her body, it was like a fairy dotting the clouds. This ordinary posture was extremely beautiful, and Xiao Che was also very happy to see it.

Xia Qingyue finally came to the sedan chair, and the two bridesmaids also let go of their hands and stepped back. According to the wedding customs of the Blue Wind Empire, the groom will help the bride into the sedan chair. Xiao Che took a step forward and extended his hand to Xia Qingyue. Xia Qingyue also lifted her gently... However, just as Xia Qingyue Just as his hand was about to rest on his palm, a biting coldness suddenly came from Xiao Che's hand, causing his entire right hand and even his right arm to become stiff due to the stinging pain, and he could no longer move even half a minute. Xia Qingyue's hand hung in the air and covered Xiao Che's palm, and her body entered the sedan chair slowly and elegantly... But in the eyes of others, she was helped in by Xiao Che after her palm rested on Xiao Che's hand.

The cold feeling in his hands slowly disappeared, and Xiao Che lowered his arms with a calm expression without saying a word. Apart from frowning at the moment when the cold feeling hit him, he had no other expression, and he didn't make the slightest sound.

If you lift the fine bead curtain on Xia Qingyue's head at this time, you will see a hint of surprise flash in her beautiful eyes. But he immediately returned to indifference.

Xiao Che mounted his horse, and the wedding procession immediately turned back in great force. The Xia family's wedding procession also followed closely behind, heading straight for Xiao Clan.

Another hour and a half later, the team returned to the door of Xiao's house. It took a long time to go back and forth, but it was smooth sailing and calm. There was no wedding drama that many people were looking forward to. This really disappointed many people who were psychologically unbalanced.

Xiao Lie was already standing at the door in person, greeting the guests. Of course, every slap directed at Xiao Che was basically directed at Xiao Lie and the Xia family. With Xiao Lie's prestige in Liuyun City and the Xia family's extensive connections, there were quite a few guests. Outside the gate of the Xiao family, there were countless people coming to watch the excitement, which made the road congested. And these people were obviously here to witness the marriage of the most beautiful woman in Liuyun City.

Xia Qingyue's flower bridge slowly stopped. Amidst the noise, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and her maid Xia Dongling said softly: "Miss, we have arrived."

Then, a hand stretched out and slowly walked down with Xia Dongling's support. The moment she stepped out of the sedan chair, the noisy and ear-splitting sounds around her suddenly quieted down, replaced by the sound of gasping one after another.

It was almost noon, and the sunshine was exceptionally bright and soft. The gleaming sunlight reflected the charming and bright phoenix crown on her body, shining proudly and dazzling people. She wears a four-screen phoenix crown on her head, and her high bun is dotted with exquisite gold hairpins, with several engraved phoenixes and golden steps hanging below. She wears a brocade-wrought red wedding dress with a cloud pattern, and a waistband with the same color and width. She wears a brocade belt, gold silk shoes, and a bright red golden phoenix crown covered with slender pearl tassels. As the pearl tassels sway gently, her dark eyebrows and snowy skin, bright eyes and jade lips are looming, exquisite and flawless. Although her face has not been revealed, she is already like a goddess banished to the earth, and her beauty is not as beautiful as the mortal world.

Waves of irrepressible breathing sounds overlapped together. Countless people's eyes were straightened, and they couldn't recover for a long time. This is the charm of Xia Qingyue. Without revealing her face, with her extraordinary temperament and figure, she is like a fairy walking out of a painting. She is so beautiful that people cannot take their eyes away...

A piece of red silk was wrapped around Xia Qingyue's hand by Xia Dongling, and the other end of the red silk was naturally tied around Xiao Che's hand. Xiao Che walked in front with a smile on his face, leading Xia Qingyue across the brazier, across the saddle, and across the threshold of the Xia family, heading straight to the hall.

Entering the Xiao family gate, the noise in my ears continued unabated. Xiao Che's expression remained unchanged and his steps kept moving. He naturally wanted this wedding to end as soon as possible.

This is the central meeting hall of the Xiao Clan. Only the heads or elders of the Xiao Clan are qualified to use this place as a wedding hall. For this wedding, it had been decorated on a large scale. As far as the eye could see, the carved beams were inlaid with citrine, the four walls were carved with two dragons playing with pearls, and several rare pearls were embedded on them. The big red carpet ran through the center of the hall. , spreading straight to the golden steps directly in front, the golden light is faint, illuminating the decorated splendid hall even more dazzlingly. Of course, the Xiao Clan would not be willing to spend such a large sum of money for Xiao Che. All these things came from the Xia family. Xia Hongyi was not stingy about his daughter's wedding.

At the highest point of the hall, Xiao Lie and Xia Hongyi were already seated, watching Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue walk in with smiles on their faces. The red sandalwood mats were on both sides of the red carpet, with three rows on the left and right. They were already full of people. Xiao Yunhai, the leader of the Xiao Clan, was sitting there, as were the other four elders of the Xiao Clan. When Xiao Che walked in with a happy face, their expressions remained the same, but deep in their eyes, they all showed disdain.

Xiao Clan is a family of Xuan Cultivators, but Xiao Che, who has a direct line of Xuan Vein, is born with a disabled Xuan Vein. This is simply a shame for Xiao Clan. If he was not the grandson of the fifth elder Xiao Lie, he would have been expelled from the Xiao family's business and would not have stayed in Xiao Clan... and if he had not married the most popular daughter of the Xia family in Liuyun City, they would not even bother to ask about it, let alone come to the scene in person.

When they mentioned or heard the name Xiao Che, they only thought of the word "waste". Let alone paying attention to him, they couldn't even remember his appearance clearly. In Tianxuan Continent, there is no dignity without strength, even in the same family... this is reality.

And the expressions of the younger generation of the Xiao family were surprisingly consistent. When their eyes fell on Xia Qingyue, they revealed an infatuation that they could not suppress, and when they shifted their gazes to Xiao Che, the jealous fire in their eyes almost erupted... This lifelong cripple who was looked down upon by even the outside disciples in the Xiao family actually married the number one pearl in Floating Cloud City, whom they dared not even dream of. Watching the two of them walk into the marriage hall together holding red silk, that feeling was simply more uncomfortable than eating a dead fly.

The wedding emcee was Xiao De, the general manager in charge of the logistics of the Xiao family, and the wedding ceremony officially began with his shouting.

The emcee began to introduce the bride and groom, and then read out the distinguished guests... Xiao Che's expression remained the same, his heart as calm as water. As for the emcee's later words, he was too lazy to listen, and he kept thinking about a question that he cared about...

In the Xia family, when Xia Qingyue was about to touch his hand, what was the sudden coldness in his hand? Could it be some kind of mysterious skill? But in Floating Cloud City, no one had ever heard of such a mysterious skill. Xia Qingyue was able to reach the tenth level of the Initial Profound Realm at the age of sixteen. She was undoubtedly an amazing genius... But in terms of level, she was still in the most basic Initial Profound Realm after all. In this state, she could release such icy cold air silently, making his entire arm completely unable to move... What kind of profound skill could be able to exert such amazing power at such a level!

Or... Xia Qingyue, who reached the tenth level of the Initial Profound Realm at the age of sixteen... still hid her strength?

The voice of the host stopped chanting at this time. After a short pause, the voice octave higher sounded again:

"First bow to heaven and earth!"

Xiao Che's mind quickly turned back. He glanced at Xia Qingyue beside him, and bent his body at the same time as hers, bowing to heaven and earth together.

"Second bow to the elders!"

The two turned their bodies and bowed respectfully in the direction of Xiao Lie and Xia Hongyi. Xiao Lie smiled and nodded, looking lovingly at Xiao Che and his granddaughter-in-law who finally entered the door. Xia Hongyi also smiled, without even a trace of dissatisfaction or unwillingness to this marriage.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Xiao Che turned his body to Xia Qingyue, and at almost the same time, Xia Qingyue's body also turned to him... There was no hesitation or delay in the action. This made many young people of the Xiao family present secretly grit their teeth. In their opinion, Xia Qingyue would never be willing to marry Xiao Che, a complete cripple. It must be forced by the Xia family to come to this point today. But what disappointed them was that until this moment, Xia Qingyue had behaved in a very proper manner, and no one could catch any trace of resistance from her.

The two bowed and bowed to each other. At the moment when their bodies bent down, Xiao Che caught a trace of cold eyes through the slightly scattered bead curtain... Cold and almost without any emotion.

At this moment, there should have been warm applause, laughter, and cheers. But there were only a few sparse claps in the hall, which was extremely embarrassing.

"Haha, Fifth Elder, and Brother Xia, congratulations." Xiao Yunhai stood up and said at this time. He was in his early forties and had a gentle face.

"It is indeed time to express great congratulations to the Fifth Elder." The eldest elder Xiao Li beside Xiao Yunhai said indifferently. Anyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

The second elder Xiao Bo also laughed twice and said slowly: "The Fifth Elder has such a granddaughter-in-law, and our entire Xiao family feels honored. The Xia family has been engaged in business for generations, and they found such a son-in-law. Hehe, it is also very good. Congratulations."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little cold. They said "congratulations", but the sarcasm in it could be heard clearly by anyone who was not a fool.
