Su Lai patted Zhang Xiaoqiang on the shoulder, seeing that there were still people queuing to present gifts, and said with a smile, "Alright, there are still people waiting behind us, so we'll go in first."
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded and instructed a disciple beside him, "Go and entertain my brother well."
The disciple nodded and led the way.
Remembering something, Zhang Xiaoqiang called out again, "Old Su, you must sit at my table later. We haven't had a drink together for a long time."
Su Lai chuckled, "Even if you didn't say it, I would have shamelessly sat at this table."
Su Qing pinched Yu Yijun's little face and said with a smile, "Girl, you go in first. Auntie will come to find you later."
Yu Yijun nodded obediently and followed Su Lai and Da Hu inside.
The Yan Shu Sect was built later, so the venue was as large as one could imagine, with at least three hundred tables of banquets as far as the eye could see.
Yu Yijun asked curiously, "With so many banquets, aren't you afraid of sudden rain?"
Su Lai smiled faintly, stroked Yu Yijun's little head, and said with a smile, "Girl, look up at the sky."
Yu Yijun looked up and saw a golden light faintly shining down from the white clouds above the entire Yan Shu Sect.
Yu Yijun's little face was full of confusion, "Uncle Su Lai, why do I think these white clouds are a bit different?"
Su Lai began to explain, "Our weddings are different from ordinary people. It's not just about getting a marriage certificate. We also have to pay respects to heaven, earth, and the founding ancestors. However, the Yan Shu Sect was established relatively late, so we only need to pay respects to heaven and earth. This golden light is the blessing of heaven. Wherever the golden light shines, there will be no wind or rain. As for the earth, the vegetation on the mountain where each sect is located is very lush, which is the blessing of the earth."
"So that's how it is."
Yu Yijun nodded, somewhat dazed.
Just then, a group of women dressed as bridesmaids in red walked out.
Yu Yijun looked at the brightly dressed bridesmaids with envy, "Wow, these sisters are so beautiful."
Da Hu and Su Lai turned to look.
It had to be said that each of these bridesmaids was exceptionally stunning, with looks that were no less than those of minor celebrity actresses.
Da Hu looked for a while and asked with some confusion, "Old Su, have you seen the groomsmen?"
Su Lai then realized and immediately looked around, confirming there were no groomsmen.
Da Hu suddenly thought of something and said, "Old Su, do you think there might not be any groomsmen?"
Su Lai smiled faintly and shook his head, "How is that possible? Qiangzi wouldn't not understand weddings..."
Before he could finish, Su Lai suddenly thought of something and looked back at Da Hu.
The two of them exchanged a knowing smile.
The groomsmen were probably reserved for Yu Ye.
In this world, one could not always control their circumstances, but some affections would never change.
At the foot of the Yan Shu Sect mountain, more than twenty vans were parked five kilometers away.
Yu Daochen, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the Yan Shu Sect enveloped in golden light in the distance and murmured, "The sect is protected by golden light, this wedding should be very perfect."
Shi Bingzhi, standing beside him, looked at the melancholic Yu Daochen and asked, "Yu Ye, you're already at the entrance, aren't you planning to take a look?"
Yu Daochen threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot, shaking his head, "No need."
Hearing this, Shi Bingzhi did not ask further but changed the subject, "I borrowed two hundred people from the Supernatural Bureau. Together with the eighty disciples of the Yan Huo Sect, that makes a total of two hundred and eighty people. We should be able to deal with the sneak attack from the Divine Religion."
Yu Daochen nodded, somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect the Supernatural Bureau to be able to lend so many people."
He had thought that borrowing a hundred people would be the limit for the Supernatural Bureau, but he did not expect them to lend two hundred directly.
However, this was enough to show that the Supernatural Bureau was not as incompetent as imagined.
Rather, they were hiding their strength.
"Did you borrow people from Biao Tao?" Yu Daochen asked again.
Shi Bingzhi shook his head, "He doesn't have that capability. I borrowed people from Nan Ye."
"Nanjing Shuo?" Yu Daochen asked, confused.
Shi Bingzhi nodded.
Yu Daochen thought it made sense. With Biao Tao's capabilities, it was fine for him to borrow money.
But when it came to borrowing people, he really didn't have that ability.
Unless his older brother had some influence.
However, what surprised him was that Shi Bingzhi could actually borrow people from Nanjing Shuo.
More importantly, Nanjing Shuo actually lent them.
Two hundred people, that was giving Shi Bingzhi a lot of face.
But this also indicated one thing: Shi Bingzhi was no longer just a "she dao ren" (debt collector with a knife) but likely had another identity.
Shi Bingzhi looked at Yu Daochen, somewhat puzzled, "Yu Ye, why did you move all the people five kilometers away? If the Divine Religion wants to sneak attack, they will definitely come from the back mountain. That's a good opportunity for attack."
Yu Daochen did not hide anything and said truthfully, "It's someone's wedding day. If you send troops to ambush in the back mountain, anyone would be unhappy. It's to avoid misunderstandings. Stationing the disciples here is the best position. If anything unexpected happens, we can still respond in time."
Shi Bingzhi nodded and asked again, "So the back mountain is just left unattended?"
Yu Daochen shook his head, his eyes firm, "No, I'll go!"
Hearing this, Shi Bingzhi frowned slightly, "Yu Ye, can you handle it alone?"
Yu Daochen placed one hand on the Kang Long Jian at his waist, a confident smile on his face, exuding the demeanor of Qiangzi in every gesture, and said with a smile, "With my own strength, I can block the enemy. There's no need to worry."
Looking at Yu Daochen's imposing back, Shi Bingzhi understood.
At this moment, Yu Daochen truly had this capability!
Yu Daochen turned back to look at Shi Bingzhi and said, "Old Shi, tell the brothers to work hard for a few days. I'll treat them afterwards to reward them."
Shi Bingzhi waved his hand and smiled, "Yu Ye, you're being too polite. Killing the Divine Religion is our duty."
Yu Daochen nodded and then walked towards the back mountain.
On the way to the back mountain, Yu Daochen walked alone all the way up.
The sound of gongs and drums could be heard from the side, lively and festive.
But Yu Daochen's side seemed a bit desolate.
But none of this mattered!
Inside the Yan Shu Sect.
People from various sects and factions had also arrived. In the main hall, a pair of beautiful people were slowly walking out. The woman wore a red veil on her head and held a bouquet in her hand. Her red wedding dress made her look elegant and charming. The man also wore a red wedding outfit, his face beaming with a happy smile.
Each of them was followed by four bridesmaids.
Seeing the main couple arrive, everyone's eyes turned towards them.
In their hearts, there was always a question.
Why would Sect Leader Zhang marry a woman with no sect background?
The weddings of major sects were different from those of minor sects.
Logically speaking, the marriage of a major sect, especially that of the sect leader, would be with someone of equal standing.
The Yan Shu Sect had suffered a heavy blow, so this wedding should have been even more crucial for its recovery.
Even if they didn't find a match from a first-rate sect, they should have at least found one from a top-tier second-rate sect.
Although the Yan Shu Sect was severely damaged, it was still a first-rate force. Second-rate sects would have scrambled for the opportunity of this alliance to advance to the ranks of first-rate forces.
And Su Qing was clearly not the right choice!
