Ximen Chuixue Is My Goddess
Chapter 20
However, when I thought about how there were so many bosses gathered at my wedding, I felt that the future was bleak and dark. Who knew if a chaotic battle would break out in the next moment, and it would be a one-sided massacre.
However, if it was a fight between the masterminds behind the scenes, I calculated my IQ, estimated Xi Men Chui Xue, and added together, but I still didn't feel any sense of security.
The only consolation was that the most awesome one happened to be my father-in-law.
Thinking about it, and looking at everyone's joyous faces, I felt a little happy.
"Congratulations, Lord Ximon."
"The marriage between Emei Sect and Wanmei Villa is truly a rare piece of big news in Jianghu!"
"May Zhuang Zhu and your wife grow old together and be united forever!"
I didn't smile, I just nodded in response.
This kind of reaction was already very good for Ximen Chuixue, and no one found it strange at all. Even the Jianghu people who had seen the master of Wanmei Villa before felt that he was much milder. Was it really because of his marriage? Even if they didn't know what kind of heavenly beauty could make this swordsman, who had always been arrogant, become so soft and gentle from a well-tempered steel.
When I turned to Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng raised his wine glass with a solemn expression and congratulated me, "Congratulations, congratulations, I wish you two have a child soon!"
I felt that he emphasized the last few words. Yep, this guy definitely did it on purpose.
Sikong Zhaixing's muffled laughter came from the side, and he said, "I hope you two have many children and grandchildren!"
I thought for a moment, and then replied, "As it should be."
Lu Xiaofeng: "… Cough cough."
Sikong Zhaixing: "… Haha!"
Ye Gucheng: "…"
I kept a straight face and didn't bother to say anything else. However, the number of gazes that stopped on me was surprisingly high.
There were judgmental, surprised, and dissatisfied gazes, so many that I was too lazy to pay attention to them.
I'll just treat it as a salute because I'm too handsome!
Handsome treatment!
Then suddenly, a voice sounded, "Lord Ximon!
Please fight me! "
The voice was loud and clear, and it was filled with complicated emotions. I turned around and saw a man in white clothes with a sword at his waist. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with excitement as he stared at me.
Hmm, it really felt like it!
Everyone was surprised. However, it was not that they had never seen a swordsman challenge anyone. They just saw a man who looked like Simon Suisue running to someone's wedding and asking for a duel.
It was easy for people to imagine that he had abandoned his wife, who had gone through hardships with him for many years, and that his illegitimate son had come knocking on his door in anger.
But the age doesn't seem right.
Everyone's gaze focused on Yu Luocha. Could it be yours?!
Yu Luocha: "…"
Ye Gucheng frowned and said, "Come here!"
The man dawdled for a while before reluctantly walking over to Ye Gucheng and sitting down next to him.
White Cloud City Lord gave a simple introduction: "Cousin Ye Guhong."
Everyone's gaze became even more complicated.
— — So the one who looks like this is your cousin!
Ye Guhong didn't understand their gazes at first, but now that he understood, his face flushed red.
"I'm only here to challenge Simon Suisue to a duel!"
This stupid child, saying that he wants to duel with the groom at someone else's wedding … Everyone's gaze focused on me.
I looked at Ye Guhong's fervent gaze and White Cloud City Lord's silence, and calmly said, "Oh."
Ye Guhong looked at me: And then?
Reject or accept? I'm in a hurry. Give me a definite answer!
I was expressionless: Hehe, I'm not free.
Ye Guhong wanted to stand up and say something, but after receiving his cousin's cold glare, he finally pouted and sat down in grievance.
Simon Suisue deliberately ignored Ye Guhong's challenge. Everyone was puzzled, but then they heard my master put down his wine cup heavily and stand up to recite a book.
"Today is the wedding day of my direct disciple, Sun Xiuqing, and the Lord Ximon. I am deeply honored that everyone has come from afar to congratulate me. It's been more than ten years, and Xiuqing has been adopted by me since she was very young. She has always been obedient, diligent, and diligent. She practices Emei's swordsmanship every day and has never slacked off … A few days ago, because of Huo Xiu's matter, I specially brought her down the mountain. I didn't expect that she would meet the Lord Ximon, and the two fell in love at first sight. They came together to ask me to help them … Now that I see that they are about to get married, my feelings are complicated.
Emei's Three Elites: "…" Eh, is that really our junior sister?
Emei's Three Elites: "…" What the hell is love at first sight?
Yu Luocha: "…" This guy's skin is definitely thicker than mine.
I: "…" Damn, I'm so embarrassed. Master, don't you think you're a bit pretentious with your boasting and showing off like this?
I listened as my master shook his head and spat out a bunch of exclamations. He seemed to be very emotional. My imagination was pretty good. Actually, if you remove some modifiers, reduce some of the fictional plot, and don't guess what the characters are thinking, then my master was probably talking about me and Kenshin!
But seeing that everyone's attention had been diverted, it could barely be considered a good thing!
When my master finished speaking, no matter how much they criticized him in their hearts, everyone still gave him face and clapped their hands.
The atmosphere seemed to have eased a lot. Everyone was talking and laughing, and from time to time, they would come over to congratulate me.
I maintained Simon Suisue's cold expression and stood firmly. I stood straight and firm for a long time without any complaints or regrets.
— — Damn, why hasn't it started yet!
"The auspicious hour has arrived!"
The voice suddenly quieted down. Everyone couldn't help but look away after sweeping a few glances at the bride. It was really too cold. If they looked at her a few more times, it seemed like goosebumps would appear.
Faintly, the sword's aura was rustling, and the sharpness was half hidden.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Dugu Yihe a few times. Your disciple's temperament is really unique, like a crane in a flock of chickens!
She really is a good match for Simon Suisue, hahahaha!
A bunch of dry laughs.
Finally, my master and Yu Luocha sat on top. I looked at Simon Suisue, who was not far away, walking towards me step by step with a veil over her head.
Her swaying steps were very steady and magnanimous at the beginning. Her right hand was still fixed on the hilt of the sword at her waist. She didn't look like a bride who was about to get married, but a general who was about to go to war. Until suddenly, she was dragged by the long dress on the ground, causing her to stumble.
I saw my senior sister and quickly went forward to support her. Simon Suisue stiffened for a moment, but in the end, she didn't push her away.
My expression couldn't help but twist. Who told you not to let others support you? You're not Hua Manlou, who can walk on the ground with a veil over your head.
Damn!
I really want to laugh!
Hahahaha, Simon Suisue, you also have a day like this!!!
"Hahahahaha — —"
Eh, I didn't say anything!
I glanced over. The one who spoke was Sikong Zhaixing.
This brat had been holding back his laughter, but the scene was especially quiet, making his laughter seem extremely awkward.
"Uh, actually, I'm happy. Lord Ximon and Miss Sun can become … husband and wife today. Cough cough, as a friend, I'm really happy for them!"
It was a very suspicious explanation, but there was no need to investigate it.
Lu Xiaofeng's face darkened. He patted Sikong Zhaixing's back heavily and nodded.
"Yes, as Simon's good friend, it's really not easy to see him marry such a good wife."
Delta Persei snorted. His gaze was firmly fixed on Simon Suisue. He looked at the other party's bright red wedding dress, then at me, his expression full of regret.
Ye Gucheng's attention was also focused on the bride whose steps were steady and whose body was full of sword intent. He was silent, then sighed. He continued to watch in silence, while forcefully suppressing the dissatisfaction of his cousin beside him.
Ye Guhong muttered softly, "How can Simon Suisue marry a wife, he practices the Emotionless Way of the Sword!
How could he fall in love with a woman? How could he? Why?
Cousin, why do you think?
Also, if he marries a wife, what about the sword, can he abandon the sword after having a wife?
How can it be like this?
What about the way of the sword?
What about the heart of the sword?
Didn't you say to treat the sword with sincerity and never let me down!
Cousin … "
"..." What do you mean by never let me down?
It's not like he's really in a relationship with a sword, damn, that's not the main point. What kind of stupid questions are you asking?
Don't make me sound like a mistress!!!
Ye Gucheng, "... Stop talking!"
Ye Guhong's face was filled with indignation. While he was at it, he changed the topic and said, "Cousin, I know that you also have the intention to fight Ximen Manor Lord, but why did you keep looking at the bride over there?"
White Cloud City Lord, "..." Because the one over there is the real Simon Suisue!
Even if he's wearing female clothing, I can't mistake my opponent for someone else!
Everyone's expression became complicated.
Walking back and forth between Wanmei Villa's Madam Zhuang Zhu and White Cloud City Lord, could it be...
I decisively walked over and grabbed Simon Suisue's hand, interrupting their thoughts.
When I turned around, I glanced at the silent Ye Gu Cheng. Actually, I felt that the City Lord was under a lot of pressure as well. Not only that, his opponent had suddenly changed gender, and now, she was even married. Not to mention, he had a younger cousin who didn't watch his mouth, and that bunch of ridiculous things that happened at the top of Forbidden City. All of this added up to a tragedy.
Fortunately, it's Ye Gucheng. If it was Simon Suisue, he would've pulled out his sword and left in three seconds.
Don't doubt it, this is the Kenshin I know. If he can solve a problem with force, then it's not a problem. If he can't solve it with force, then he'll use violence.
What's the difference between force and violence?
Yep, there's actually no difference.
When I came back to my senses, I felt that the hand I was holding was a little cold. I glanced at it and saw that the fingers I was holding were white and delicate. They looked beautiful and delicate, but the bottom of the fingers were very rough. There was a layer of calluses thicker than before. Using my sleeve as a cover, I rubbed her palm a few times. Ximen Chui Xue paused for a moment and squeezed my fingers tightly. It hurt a little, so I could only obediently lead him to the front of the hall.
Emei looked at me with a smile. Yu Jiaozhu narrowed his eyes and looked at Simon Suisue with a strange smile. Then, he threw me a look.
I pursed my lips and nodded slightly. Then, I lowered my head to look at the wedding attire I was wearing. All the guests were quietly looking at Ximen Chuixue and I. For some reason, I felt a strange sense of nervousness, but it was quickly smoothed away by the cold hand I was holding.
It seems like it's always like this. He's calm, self-controlled, and unperturbed. No matter how big the change is, it can't shake him.
This is the person I like. While I'm proud of him, I'm also a little dissatisfied.
Perhaps from a certain perspective, I've indeed married a sword. Moreover, it's the kind that I'm not allowed to touch, carry, or use.
Thinking about it, I feel sad.
A somewhat shrill voice rang out.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
I lifted the hem of my dress, knelt on the ground, and bowed.
"Second bow to the parents!"
Looking at my master's loving face and Yu Luocha's smile, I still felt that it's too surreal.
"Husband and wife, bow to each other!"
The red veil slowly lowered before my eyes. I bowed together with him, my heart throbbing faintly.
After three bows, the ceremony was complete. At least in name, we are husband and wife. We should support and protect each other for the rest of our lives, sharing both honor and disgrace.
Before the next sentence was sent to the bridal chamber, I heard a sudden explosion outside. It was within my expectations!
"Boom — boom boom — boom!"
Then, I finally felt that the atmosphere … was normal!
I also deeply felt the long-lost sense of joy!
That's why I said, how can a wedding not have firecrackers!
"Pa pa pa … Pa pa pa … Pa pa pa … Pa pa pa!"
"…" This voice was really full of rhythm!
The continuous firecrackers put me in a good mood, but the people present looked at each other, their eyes full of questions.
"What was that sound?"
"Firecrackers!"
"Why are there so many?"
"I don't know. Shall we go out and take a look?"
It was only when everyone went out that they truly felt how deafening the sound was and how dust filled the air.
The entire interior of Wanmei Villa was filled with the sound of huge explosions. It was loud and lively, but it might have disturbed the residents.
"Bam … Bam … Bam bam bam … Bam bam bam … Bam bam bam bam bam!"
I smiled from an angle that no one else could see.
"Wow, it's all over outside!"
"Why are there so many firecrackers?"
"How long will it last?"
"Cough, cough, cough. Can you still hear me?"
"Ah?
Shout louder! "
I clasped my hands behind my back and looked at my master's puzzled gaze. I shook my head slightly.
The firecrackers outside were still going on. Simon Suisue had already been helped inside. I stood outside, my black hair tied up with a jade crown inlaid with golden threads. Paired with a dazzling red coat and a sword at my waist, it was rare to see such a dignified appearance. Coupled with my originally handsome appearance, I looked completely different from before.
Perhaps it was because of the lack of that chilling sword energy, plus Xi Men Chui Xue's great reputation, there were quite a few people who dared to raise their heads to look at me.
However, most of the surprised and even stunned gazes were from women, which made me a little happy. I was indeed handsome and had a good temperament, especially when compared to Simon Suisue.
Lu Xiaofeng came over with a wine glass and said with a smile, "It's still early, why don't we have a few drinks?"
I received it and drank it in one gulp. It was spicy in the mouth, but the aftertaste was mellow. I didn't refuse anyone, but there weren't many people who dared to force Simon Suisue to drink.
When it was the City Lord's turn, Ye Gucheng looked at me with a complicated expression. Before he could pick up his wine glass, Sikong Zhaixing forced his way over.
"If you're a man, then use this!" He pointed at the wine bowl on the table.
Ye Gucheng: "..."
I: "..."
Lu Xiaofeng clapped his hands: "Not bad!"
His clap caused the people who were still in a daze to start cheering.
One of them was Ximen Chuixue, and the other was the Lord of White Cloud City. Both of them were people who stood at the peak of the world and looked down on everyone else. If they missed out on such a rare show, there would be no next time.
Soon, the reverence the people had for the two great swordsmen disappeared after a few bowls of yellow soup. They all started banging their bowls and making a ruckus.
"Yeah, don't hold back!"
"If you don't drink, then you're not a man!" Someone pinched his throat and shouted.
It caused a lot of cheers.
"Yeah!
Yeah, if you're a man, then drink it in one gulp! "Another person choked.
"Pour the wine, pour the wine!
Fill it up! "
"Cheers!
Let's drink! "
I looked at the City Lord quietly. If he drank, then I would drink. Speaking of which, my alcohol tolerance wasn't bad either.
"Wait," Ye Guhong suddenly shouted.
I glanced over. Ye Gucheng was still expressionless. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Bang — —"
Two jugs of wine were placed on the table.
"Hmph, what's a bowl? Bring it one jug at a time!"
Ye Guhong's face was red and there was obvious drunkenness in his eyes. His gaze stopped on me for a while, then he looked at his cousin. Then, he started laughing foolishly.
I: "..." City Lord, please control your brother!
Ye Gucheng: "..."
Delta Persei laughed, "Yeah, today is your big day, Lord Ximon. No matter what, we have to drink to our hearts' content!"
Bai Choufei also came over with two jugs of wine in his hands. He looked at me for a while and said with interest, "Lord Ximon, don't tell me you don't dare!"
Heh, did you think I would fall for such a simple trick?
I raised a jug of wine with one hand and poured it into my mouth. After a while, I wiped my mouth and looked at Bai Choufei.
Huo Louzhu immediately looked at Ye Gucheng.
"I've heard of the White Cloud City Lord's name long ago. It's my honor to meet you today!"
Delta Persei shrugged, "Since the Lord Ximon invited us, the Lord Ye should also accept!"
Ye Gucheng looked at me and didn't say anything. He raised his head and drank.
After a while, the jug turned over and there was nothing left.
"Good!"
Cheers sounded. They were all youths who were red in the face from drinking. They looked at me with sparkling eyes and their smiles were similar to Ye Guhong's.
I smiled at White Cloud City's City Lord and the corners of my lips curled into a smile.
Everyone immediately fell silent. Damn, Xi Men Chui Xue actually knew how to smile. Scary!
This trip was worth it. I could see Simon Suisue's bright smile. Lu Xiaofeng covered his eyes. Luckily, the real Simon Suisue wasn't here. Otherwise, if he knew that he was part of the crowd, he wouldn't be able to keep his beard.
Sikong Zhaixing shouted "Good!" and then came over with a cheeky smile.
"It's my turn. Let's toast to the Lord Ximon!"
I looked at the bowl he handed over and smashed it, saying, "If you want to toast, bring out the jug. I think the bowl is too small!"
Sikong Zhaixing: "..."
Then he looked at Lu Xiaofeng: Did I overdo it? She seems to be drunk!
Lu Xiaofeng peeked out one eye and looked at me with a cold smile. He gave me a hopeless look: It's all your fault.
Sikong Zhaixing: Nonsense, Ye Guhong is the main culprit!
I threw the jug at him. Sikong Zhaixing hugged it stiffly for a while and laughed dryly. He wasn't thick-skinned enough to argue with me, "Then there's no need. A moment is worth a thousand gold. Lord Ximon, why don't you go back to your room?"
Delta Persei suddenly stood up.
"I... Ugh!"
Lu Xiaofeng covered his mouth and dragged him back. Moon Invocation walked over to Lu Xiaofeng. They talked for a while and then she took Delta Persei away.
As soon as Bai Choufei took a step forward, he saw my master giving him an extremely benevolent smile, but the depths of his eyes were ominous.
Huo Louzhu immediately changed his words, "The wedding night is a big event. Everyone should be more understanding. How can we let a girl stay alone?
Everyone, stop messing around! "
I felt my face heat up, but I was very clear-headed. Then I heard Yu Luocha cough and say a few words.
I took this opportunity to retreat. I'd already drunk a jug of the mayor and he was still sitting quietly on the side, waiting for Sect Leader Dongfang to come out. By then, these people wouldn't have time to bother me.
The wind outside made me feel particularly comfortable. Along the way, I felt that my drunkenness had almost subsided.
I couldn't help but snort. Luckily, I retreated quickly. You guys can deal with the rest yourselves!
I still have something important to do!
Something important!
As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw Simon Suisue take off his veil and coat. He sat cross-legged on the bed and rested.
He frowned slightly at the smell of alcohol on my body.
But that was it.
I lowered my head and smiled. Then, I poured two glasses of wine from the table and handed the glass on the right to Simon Suisue.
He looked at me for a long time. I sat quietly and looked back at him with the same calm eyes.
— — It was time to drink the wine.
Simon Suisue nodded slightly.
