Chapter 167:
Junior Sister Jiang Ting is actually going to marry Qin Fei.
When Xiao Yang received the news, he was truly shocked.
What on earth is going on in Jiang Ting’s head?
Hadn’t she always insisted that there was nothing between her and Junior Brother Qin Fei?
How was she supposed to explain this now?
“Senior Brother, you don’t know. Last night, Junior Sister actually threatened to take her own life if anyone dared to tell the sect master about her marriage to Qin Fei.”
Lin Wangchuan revealed what had happened after Qin Fei’s birthday banquet the previous night.
It turned out that when Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, Qin Fei had already regained consciousness.
Then, he began crying miserably.
He said that when his mother died, her greatest wish had been for him to get married and have children.
Now that he was on the verge of death, he had no chance to fulfill his mother’s last wish.
He, a grown man, wept so tragically that it would move anyone to tears and make hearts ache in sympathy.
Xiao Yang listened to Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang’s account.
What could he say?
Qin Fei’s acting skills were impeccable.
But what he hadn’t expected was that Junior Sister Jiang Ting had actually taken the initiative to help Qin Fei fulfill his mother’s dying wish.
Xiao Yang was truly taken aback.
Jiang Ting wasn’t just overly sympathetic—was she actually a self-righteous saint?
He had thought that it was Qin Fei who had manipulated Jiang Ting into helping him fulfill his mother’s wish.
But no—it was Jiang Ting who had suggested it herself.
Wasn’t this exactly what Qin Fei had wanted?
Hadn’t he acted pitiful in front of Jiang Ting just to gain her sympathy?
“Brother Holy Son, are you going to crash the wedding or not?”
Lin Wangchuan asked curiously.
Who in the entire Azure Sun Sword Sect didn’t know how much Xiao Yang liked Jiang Ting?
“Crash the wedding? Like hell I would! I can’t wait for them to get married!”
Xiao Yang scoffed, clearly displeased.
In his past life, these people had ruined him so completely.
This time around, was he really going to repeat the same mistakes?
“Senior Brother, Junior Sister threatened to take her own life if we told Master. What should we do?”
Song Qiang still couldn’t understand why Junior Sister was so determined to help Qin Fei fulfill his mother’s wish.
“Relax. I’ve already sent a flying sword message to the sect.”
Xiao Yang had no intention of crashing the wedding, but that didn’t mean he was going to let Qin Fei have it easy.
Jiang Ting was well aware that her father, Jiang Qitian, would never approve of this marriage.
Perfect. He would love to see Jiang Qitian barge into their wedding.
Now, that would be a spectacular scene.
Xiao Yang was already looking forward to it.
“But Junior Sister, she—”
Song Qiang was taken aback.
“If she wants to be willful and reckless, are we just supposed to let her?”
Xiao Yang’s expression darkened.
From childhood until now, Jiang Ting had never cared about his feelings.
Now that he no longer liked her, why should he care about hers?
What a joke.
“Then… Senior Brother, will you attend Junior Sister’s wedding?”
Song Qiang asked cautiously.
“Of course, I’m going!”
How could he possibly miss Qin Fei and Jiang Ting’s wedding?
After all, they had grown up together.
This grand spectacle—he wouldn’t miss it for the world.
“But Junior Sister told us not to tell you!”
Lin Wangchuan said anxiously.
“Then why did you tell me?”
Xiao Yang was speechless.
He could already guess why Jiang Ting didn’t want him to know.
She must still think he liked her and was afraid he would cause trouble at her wedding with Qin Fei.
“This…”
Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan exchanged glances, hesitating to speak.
In truth, they were afraid Xiao Yang really would cause trouble.
“Enough, you two can go back now.”
Xiao Yang said thoughtfully.
“Alright, we’ll head back first.”
Song Qiang nodded.
He and Lin Wangchuan then left the Carefree Inn.
At this moment, in the City Lord’s Mansion—
Inside the banquet hall—
The hall had already been decorated for the wedding banquet.
As the sun rose, the venue bustled with activity.
Red silk drapes hung high, lanterns swayed gently, and golden sunlight streamed through the carved windows, casting a festive red glow over the stone-paved walkway covered in red carpets.
The air was filled with the faint scent of burning incense and fresh flowers.
The groom, Qin Fei, wore a long robe embroidered with a dragon and phoenix motif, a purple-gold crown on his head. His handsome face was as delicate as jade, exuding an elegant charm.
Surrounded by fellow disciples from Azure Sun Sword Sect, he slowly made his way into the hall.
His complexion was pale, devoid of color, and he appeared frail, as if he could collapse at any moment.
Because the wedding had been arranged in haste, everything was kept simple.
Moreover, Junior Sister Jiang Ting didn’t dare let her father, Jiang Qitian, find out.
Though she was naive, even she knew that her father would never allow her to marry a eunuch.
Who would want their precious daughter to marry a eunuch?
Qin Fei stood in the hall, waiting to receive his bride.
He was feeling smug.
Xiao Yang… Xiao Yang…
This time, you’re probably going insane, aren’t you?
No one knew better than him how much Xiao Yang liked Jiang Ting.
He had arranged this wedding right before the upcoming Grand Centennial Competition to throw Xiao Yang off balance.
To make sure Xiao Yang was too distracted to compete with a clear mind.
That was his true purpose in marrying Jiang Ting.
The Grand Centennial Competition was no ordinary sect competition.
This was real.
People would die.
In the Grand Centennial Competition, if one encounters danger, no one can step in to help.
If he could disrupt Xiao Yang’s state of mind and cause him to make mistakes in the competition, then everything would be worth it.
Qin Fei looked toward the entrance of the hall, his gaze unwavering.
Only a few people had been invited to this wedding.
Among them were Li Fanyin, Ning Shu, the Blade God Huang Tian, and the head of the Luo family, Luo Xuan.
Everyone from the Azure Sun Sword Sect had also attended.
Xiao Yang’s father, Xiao Zhenshan, his mother, Chen Ruolan, and his sister, Xiao Yue, were seated on the groom’s family’s side.
Chen Ruolan and Xiao Yue forced smiles while secretly shedding tears.
At this moment, the bride, Jiang Ting, sat elegantly in her lavishly decorated bridal chamber.
She was dressed in an intricately embroidered wedding gown adorned with a soaring phoenix, her head crowned with a phoenix coronet, and a beaded curtain cascading down to veil her stunning face.
As the festive drum music echoed and the sound of firecrackers resounded, the wedding ceremony officially began.
Supported by her senior sister, Ye Qingyao, the bride, Jiang Ting, slowly stepped into the main hall.
Petals fluttered through the air on both sides of the red carpet.
At the front of the hall, the Grand Elder, Cang Xiao, represented the bride’s family, while Xiao Zhenshan stood as the groom’s guardian.
The Grand Elder sat beside Xiao Zhenshan with an awkward expression.
If it weren’t for Jiang Ting’s threats to take her own life, he would never have agreed to be here.
Compared to him, Xiao Zhenshan was beaming with joy.
If Jiang Ting married Qin Fei, then even if Qin Fei died, Jiang Ting would still be their daughter-in-law.
With this connection, the Xiao family could continue to rely on the Azure Sun Sword Sect, and no other forces would dare to touch them.
At this moment, under the officiant’s guidance, the newlyweds were about to perform the traditional three bows and nine kowtows.
Qin Fei’s lips curled into a smile.
As long as they bowed to heaven and earth, Jiang Ting would officially be his wife.
No one could change that.
His heart surged with excitement.
“First, bow to heaven and earth…”
The officiant announced loudly.
Qin Fei and Jiang Ting were about to kneel.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from outside.
Everyone was startled.
Then, a figure strode in from the entrance of the hall.
All eyes turned toward the newcomer in shock.
“It’s Brother Holy Son!”
The moment Lin Wangchuan saw him, he immediately rushed forward.
“Senior Brother…”
Song Qiang was equally surprised.
Hadn’t Senior Brother said he wouldn’t crash the wedding?
Why was he here now?
“Senior Brother?”
Jiang Ting looked at Xiao Yang, who was striding toward her, her emotions in turmoil.
Instinctively, she took a step forward, shielding Qin Fei behind her.
Seeing this, Xiao Yang’s lips curled up slightly.
It seemed that protecting Qin Fei had already become second nature to Junior Sister Jiang Ting!
“You unfilial son! What are you doing here?”
Xiao Zhenshan shot up from his seat, glaring at Xiao Yang.
This wedding had been kept simple.
They hadn’t informed Xiao Yang, fearing he would cause trouble.
Everyone knew how much Xiao Yang liked Jiang Ting.
Yet, he still showed up.
It had to be Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang who leaked the news to him.
The Grand Elder also stood up nervously upon seeing Xiao Yang enter.
After all, Xiao Yang was the Holy Son of the Azure Sun Sword Sect.
As the sect’s successor, his status was even higher than that of the Grand Elder.
“Jiang Ting, do you have shit for brains?”
Ignoring Xiao Zhenshan entirely, Xiao Yang strode straight to Jiang Ting and Qin Fei, pointing directly at Jiang Ting’s forehead as he berated her.
“What?”
Jiang Ting was dumbfounded.
Everyone else was equally stunned.
The entire hall fell into silence.
“Marriage is a major life event, arranged by matchmakers and sanctioned by parents! How dare you marry someone in secret? Do you think this is some childish game?”
Xiao Yang continued his scolding.
“Senior Brother, don’t misunderstand. Junior Brother is dying soon. I just want to fulfill his last wish.”
Jiang Ting hurriedly explained.
“What did you say? Are you out of your damn mind?”
Xiao Yang stared at Jiang Ting in disbelief.
How could she have such a ridiculous idea?
She had completely fallen for Qin Fei’s manipulation!
The crowd was equally astonished.
None of them had expected that Jiang Ting was marrying Qin Fei solely to fulfill his dying wish.
They had all assumed she was deeply in love with him.
“Senior Brother, Junior Brother is dying. I’m marrying him just to grant his wish!”
Jiang Ting declared loudly.
“Jiang Ting, I don’t care who you marry, but marriage is not a game. Think carefully. Once the ceremony is complete, you two will be real husband and wife.”
Xiao Yang said coldly.
“Senior Sister… cough, cough…”
Suddenly, Qin Fei clutched his mouth and coughed violently.
When he pulled his hand away, it was covered in blood.
“Junior Brother!”
Jiang Ting cried out in alarm and rushed to support Qin Fei.
Xiao Zhenshan and the others hurried forward.
“Senior Brother, I’ve made up my mind! If you’re here to attend the wedding, you’re welcome. If you’re here to cause trouble, then get lost!”
Seeing Qin Fei cough up blood, Jiang Ting was both frightened and furious. She shouted at Xiao Yang.
“You unfilial son, you are not welcome here! Leave!”
Xiao Zhenshan glared at Xiao Yang.
“Yang’er, just go!”
Chen Ruolan echoed.
“Big Brother, stop making a scene here.”
Xiao Yue said in disgust.
Xiao Yang looked at these so-called family members, feeling nothing but indifference.
They no longer had any power over him.
Just last night, they had regarded him as the pride of the Xiao family, their shining star.
But now, they were driving him away—for Qin Fei?
Clearly, in their eyes, the dying Qin Fei was more important than him.
Since childhood, they had never truly cared for him.
Even after he became the Holy Son of the Azure Sun Sword Sect, they only saw him as a tool to exploit.
Having lived another life, he had already seen through everything.
The onlookers were watching with intrigue.
“Haha…”
Xiao Yang suddenly chuckled. But the next moment, his smile vanished as he swept a cold gaze over everyone before saying,
“The real show hasn’t even started. Why would I leave?”
“Senior Brother…”
Jiang Ting glared at Xiao Yang.
“You unfilial son! What exactly are you trying to do?”
Xiao Zhenshan roared.
“I’m not trying to do anything. Go ahead with the ceremony. Don’t miss the auspicious hour.”
Xiao Yang said as he casually walked over and sat beside Ning Shu.
“This…”
Everyone was perplexed.
“Hold this wedding?!”
Just then, a thunderous voice roared from outside.
The sound was so powerful that it made everyone’s ears ring, sending them into shock.
A figure appeared at the entrance.
“F-Father…”
Jiang Ting’s face turned deathly pale.
“The real show is just beginning.”
Xiao Yang’s lips curled into a smile.
He had only been stalling for time.
If he hadn’t delayed them, Jiang Ting and Qin Fei might have already completed the ceremony and entered the bridal chamber.
Jiang Qitian was still on his way, but now… he had arrived.
