Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

132: WeddingSeveral days later, Long Manor.

The ancient and weathered manor was filled with a festive atmosphere today, with red banners hung everywhere, extending all the way to the end of the street.

Outside the gate, firecrackers bought from a merchant were set off, emitting a grey-blue smoke with a scent of gunpowder. Occasionally, children holding candied hawthorns would run past quickly.

”Fourth Uncle! Fourth Uncle! Are you ready yet! Hurry up!”

Long Yuesheng’s voice, tinged with urgency, rang out from outside the courtyard as he walked directly into it.

Qin Jiang pushed open the door and stepped out, already dressed in a festive red outfit.

”Brother Long, how do I look? Should I try on another one?”

He adjusted his hat, feeling a bit unaccustomed, and asked.

”Oh my! My Fourth Uncle! You’ve been at it all morning! You’ve tired out the matchmaker! The guests outside have all arrived!”

Saying that, Long Yuesheng directly stepped forward, grabbed Qin Jiang’s arm, and started pulling him out.

Qin Jiang looked back at the door, ”Aunt Zhao, I’m sorry, you’ve gone to a lot of trouble.”

”Fourth Master is too polite, it’s no trouble at all,” the middle-aged woman at the door said.

Arriving in the main hall, quite a few people were already there. Aside from the prominent families, most were the actual controllers of various major trades.

”Here comes the groom! Congratulations!”

”Fourth Master! Congratulations!”

”Congratulations, Fourth Master! For marrying into the Xu Family!”

”Congratulations!”

As soon as Qin Jiang arrived, the hall erupted. Everyone offered their congratulations to Qin Jiang, and he responded to each of them.

”Brother Long, what do I do next?” he asked in a low voice. After all, it was his first time, and he wasn’t familiar with the procedures.

Long Yuesheng pursed his lips, ”Uh, even if you ask me... Hey! Right! Third Uncle must know! I’ll go ask him! You wait here!”

With that, he walked away directly. This job of accompanying the groom was truly not an easy one! He had to let Third Uncle handle it!

After he left, Qin Jiang dealt with the guests alone, controlling his stiff muscles to maintain a smile.

A moment later, Long Daosheng and another person walked in. Qin Jiang’s face lit up when he saw the newcomer, and he quickly excused himself, hurrying to greet him.

”Uncle Wang! You’re here! Where are the others?” Qin Jiang said with a smile.

The person who arrived was Wang Minglang, whom he had asked Long An to pick up a few days prior.

”Don’t worry, they’re all here!” Wang Minglang said with a smile.

”Oh, oh, good! I’ll go take a look,” Qin Jiang said, using the opportunity to escape as if fleeing.

Wang Minglang smiled and shook his head, taking out his old pipe from hisPregnant. Then, suddenly feeling it was inappropriate, he put the pipe away.

”Brother Wang likes pipes? I have an azure jade pipe that I got from a merchant in Rong Country. I don’t know how to use it, so I’ll trouble Brother Wang to try it out for me, to see if it’s any good.”

”Brother Long is too kind, I can’t accept that.”

”Hey~ You’re too polite, it’s just a pipe, not a precious item.”

”Boss! Boss!”

As soon as he stepped out, Qin Jiang heard shouts from the courtyard. He saw Meng An and Tian Shangfei dressed in red and blue brocade robes, looking somewhat like Young Masters from a wealthy Family.

Qin Jiang quickly walked over, ”Didn’t Gang Leader Lu and the Elders and Hall Masters come?”

”No, the gang’s strength has grown significantly since you left, and people are needed to watch over various areas,” Meng An said.

Qin Jiang nodded, ”After I left, there were no troubles within the gang, right?”

”Of course not. Your formidable reputation, Boss, is still strong; no one in the nearby cities dares to oppose us.”

Tian Shangfei said. Now, both he and Meng An had mastered the Red Tiger Fist, and it wouldn’t be long before they were promoted to Hall Masters.

This was something they wouldn’t have dared to imagine before!

”Right, right, right! Lao Tian is right!”

Meng An chimed in from the side, then mysteriously leaned closer to Qin Jiang, ”Boss, I have something to tell you.”

Qin Jiang smiled, ”What is it? Just say it, why are you so close to me?”

Meng An sheepishly pulled his head back, ”Uh, it’s like this, that night, I saw Physician Baiyun.”

Qin Jiang was stunned, then suddenly looked at him, ”What did you say? You saw the Old Doctor! The Old Doctor, he wasn’t...”

”Yes, I was startled that day too! But later it was confirmed, Physician Baiyun really isn’t dead,” Meng An said.

Hiss~

Qin Jiang gasped, joy appearing in his eyes, ”Then where is the Old Doctor? Why didn’t he come along?”

Meng An’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he stammered, ”Uh, this... Physician Baiyun, he... seems to have left Black Mountain City. Someone saw him leave, but where he went, no one knows.”

The smile on Qin Jiang’s face receded a bit, but he quickly nodded with a smile, ”He’s probably tired, it’s good for him to go out and travel. If the Old Doctor returns, have someone notify me.”

”Aye! Don’t worry, Boss! Leave it to me!” Meng An said, patting his chest.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of gongs came from outside the courtyard. Two rows of high-held crimson canopies slowly advanced down the street outside the manor.

Inside the main hall, people from various families walked out one after another.

”Groom! Go welcome the bride!”

Two lines of guards escorted Qin Jiang to the outside of the manor. Qin Jiang looked at the slowly approaching red sedan chair, his heart involuntarily becoming excited.

A moment later, the sedan chair stopped in front of the main gate. The matchmaker helped Xu Yanran step down. Xu Yanran was dressed in red, wearing a Phoenix crown, her lips painted with bright red rouge, and her eyes were clear and bright.

Qin Jiang quickly stepped forward, and the two held hands as they walked into the manor.

Upon reaching the main hall, the guests were already seated. Master Xu and Qin Hong sat in the main seats. Qin Hong seemed a bit nervous, and Long Daosheng stood beside her, dressed in a formal suit.

”The newlyweds have arrived, begin the ceremony!”

Long Daosheng shouted loudly, and instantly, musical instruments resonated throughout the courtyard, making the entire hall festive and lively.

After delivering the wedding blessings, Long Daosheng swept his hand, and specks of golden light diffused.

”First bow to Heaven and Earth!”

”Second bow to the honored ancestors!”

”Husband and wife bow to each other!”

After the final bow, Qin Jiang took his seat at the head. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a heavy pressure made everyone in the hall tremble.

So strong!

Ren Chuan and Yan Lang exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

Such strength, at least a Tenth-stage Secret Martial Artist!

Ren Chuan looked at Qin Jiang, his eyes deep. He hadn’t expected this Lord Qinghuo to be so deeply hidden. He must have secretly inherited the Golden Light Subduing Demon Fist from the Grand Elder.

It’s just that such a matter should have been kept hidden, so why...

Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and he abruptly looked outside the main hall. A black cloud was spreading across the distant sky, obscuring the sun.

Long Daosheng also sensed that something was amiss. Just as he was about to go out to investigate, he was drawn by a suppressed laugh.

Following the sound, at the location of the Liu Family, Liu Xiangyi had stood up at some point, his arms slightly spread.

”Finally here. Finally here! Hahahahaha!”

Everyone was drawn by the laughter and couldn’t help but look at Liu Xiangyi.

”Family Head Liu, what do you intend to do?” Long Daosheng’s face darkened, and golden light gradually gathered in his palm.

If Liu Xiangyi couldn’t give him a satisfactory answer, he wouldn’t mind taking action to suppress him.

”Hehehehehe. Long Daosheng, it’s too late, you can’t stop it anymore.”

Liu Xiangyi’s body trembled uncontrollably. After waiting for so many years, he had finally waited for this day.
