Chapter 163: Chapter 124 Celebration! Magnificent! Phoenix Qi Ming 1

The prized steed worth tens of thousands of gold – Fire-treading White Cloud. Most people in their entire lives may never have heard that such a horse worth thousands of gold pieces exists in this world, let alone seen it with their own eyes.

The moment that image flashed by, however, the crowd of not less than a thousand onlookers immediately went into a frenzy.

This was the grandeur of the wedding of the young clan leader of the Celestial Prominent Family! It indeed gave him a great prestige. It seems that Miss Ruolan’s husband’s family is not simple.

The groom, despite how one looked at him, was becoming increasingly pleasing to the eye; it was as if he was shining brightly, emitting brilliance all over his body.

Meanwhile…

Wang Shouzhe’s wedding procession was slowly approaching the ceremonial gate.

Trailing behind Wang Shouzhe, the one leading the charges, was a group of relatives dressed in glamorous and festive clothing, all riding high-headed tall horses.

Other than Wang Shouzhe, the most prominent one was none other than Chen Fangjie, the young clan leader of the Chen Clan.

He had been in the spotlight for the past year.

First, his father, Chen Dewei had managed to break through to the Spirit Platform Realm, after long years of accumulation. Then, he married Wang Luoyi, the eldest daughter of the Wang Family. His heart brimmed with pride and fulfillment.

Now, as Wang Shouzhe’s wedding was taking place, Chen Fangjie, being the elder brother-in-law, naturally needed to help out.

He, of course, willingly took on the responsibility of escorting the groom safely to his bride.

However, Wang Shouzhe’s wedding attire was indeed too dazzling; it was far more elaborate than his own during his wedding.

That’s the worst thing about comparisons.

“Brother-in-law,”

While Chen Fangjie was atop his tall horse and grumbling to himself, the third elder of the Shou generation, Wang Shounuo, nudged his horse to ride next to him, and said with a sigh, “Two months ago, when I attended your and Luo Yi’s wedding, I thought you were the most handsome and stunning groom I’d ever seen. But now, compared to Wang Shouzhe—aiee…”

Chen Fangjie’s face darkened. Wang Shounuo, why are you bringing up such uncomfortable topics?

Wasn’t my icy silkworm silk wedding robe splendid enough? Fine, I admit it doesn’t compare with Shouzhe’s. But, it was summer! If I had worn the Golden Flame Dual Spirit Silkworm Clothes like Shouzhe’s, wouldn’t I have died of heat?

Chen Fangjie grumbled internally while outwardly chuckled, “Shounuo, aren’t you twenty-one years old now? Getting on in years, why haven’t you arranged a marriage yet? Oh right, I heard from our Chen’s sisters that you attended a Mid-Autumn Festival social mixer for the unmarried youth of the direct bloodlines some time ago, right?”

This time, it was Wang Shounuo’s turn to have his face darken. Brother-in- law, this was a stab in the back! That Mid-Autumn Festival social gathering was nothing more than a show of ostentation. Unfortunately, he had never experienced such a situation before. As a result…

However, those girls of the direct line bloodlines were quite interested in Wang Shouzhe, bombarding him, Wang Shounuo, with questions about Shouzhe.

He could only maintain a broad smile and reply, “I just went there to broaden my horizons. I’ve been so busy with family affairs recently that I don’t have time for a relationship. Unlike you, brother-in-law, riding on a Qian Gold horse to marry my Sister Luo Yi.”

Chen Fangjie’s face darkened again. In his mind, he was constantly complaining. What’s wrong with a Qian Gold horse? Wasn’t a Qian Gold horse of higher quality? Plus, my strange and unique horse is worth three thousand Qian Gold coins.

Do you think everyone is as wealthy as Wang Shouzhe?

Then, both of them started grinning through their teeth. You jabbing me, me jabbing you. They were having fun badgering each other, but their hearts were bleeding bit by bit.

Wang Shouzhe in the front, who had improved a lot in all kinds of physical qualities over the past year due to either the nurturing from his bloodline or the fast advancement in his cultivation pathways, turned around and said, “Third Brother, brother-in-law, that’s enough. Bring up the wedding money box.” “Shu Yong, Shu Lian, bring up the wedding money box.” Wang Shounuo urgently shouted.

Then, the fifth child Wang Shou Yong, and the sixth child Wang Shoulian obediently dismounted, sprinted back to the carriage, each carrying a large box to Wang Shouzhe, and opened the two boxes.

A whole box of small, shiny shillings was revealed.

As well as a whole box of maltose candies. These maltose candies were all wrapped in small pieces with oil paper, stacked neatly.

Over a year, Shu Yong and Shu Lian, two major boys in the family, have grown a lot. Not only have they improved rapidly in cultivation, but even their frames have become bulky, like two little adults.

As soon as they saw the Wang’s wedding procession carrying out the box of wedding money, the onlooking crowd became excited and swarmed over.

The Wang family was indeed generous, even preparing two boxes of wedding money.

Following protocol, Wang Shouzhe dismounted, took a handful of shillings and maltose candies in each hand, bowed to the spectators in Shanyin and said, “I, Wang Shouzhe, the clan leader of the Wang family, have come to your precious land of Shanyin to marry a noblewoman of the Liu Family. Thank you all for coming to support.”

He then scattered the shillings and maltose candies, and the people of Shanyin immediately scrambled for them.

Especially, the maltose candies were very expensive. One would need to spend three or four shillings to buy a small piece. For most ordinary families, maltose candies were a luxury.

“The Wang Family is generous, even scattering maltose candies. We support

Clan Leader Wang marrying our Miss Ruolan.”

Miss Ruolan and Clan Leader Wang make a perfect couple. Congratulations.”

“We wish Clan Leader Wang and Miss Ruolan to have a baby soon.”

The spectators and villagers were all saying various auspicious phrases.

Whoever raised their voice the loudest, Wang Shouzhe would scatter towards them, and the atmosphere instantly became very lively.

Afterwards, Wang Shounuo, Chen Fangjie, and the younger brothers joined the ranks, speeding up the scattering, making the scene very lively and spectacular.

This was one of the distinctive customs of this Profound Martial world.

No matter whose daughter was getting married, everyone wanted to do it with much pomp and circumstance. The more excitement, the better it symbolized the grandeur of the marriage and the future happiness of life.
