Chapter 2023: Taking Care of Business
Although these two were at the Ni Family, after all, they were just guards, and two hundred thousand Spirit Notes were still very tempting for them!
"Gentlemen, I’m here on behalf of my family. If I can’t even enter the main gate, I’ll certainly be punished when I return."
Su Chen "pleaded" as he spoke.
The two guards looked at each other and then nodded.
"Alright, considering your sincerity in congratulating, we’ll let you in."
One of the guards said.
In their view, although this young man was dressed plainly, anyone who could casually take out four hundred thousand Spirit Notes probably had some status.
As for causing trouble, they weren’t worried at all!
Do you know what this place is?!
If you dare to cause trouble, ten lives wouldn’t be enough!
Su Chen thanked them repeatedly and then went inside. This was his first plan, and if it didn’t work, he’d have to think of a way to sneak in somewhere.
However, there was a risk of being discovered, so it was best to be cautious before meeting Qin Nishang.
After a while, he arrived at the Ni Family’s Martial Training Ground, where the tables were already set up for the banquet.
Su Chen sat down at a relatively inconspicuous table in the corner, but even the guests at this table were dressed exceptionally!
So, when they saw Su Chen’s ordinary and even somewhat shabby attire, many people showed disdain on their faces.
However, a man sitting next to Su Chen leaned over and said:
"Brother, how come you came dressed like this?"
"Is there a problem?"
Su Chen smiled casually.
"Of course, if the Ni Family thinks you’re disrespectful, you’ll be in trouble."
The man said:
"But fortunately, we’re in the corner, and the Ni Family probably won’t notice."
"By the way, when does the wedding start?"
Su Chen asked.
"It should be soon. I heard the procession has already set off when I arrived."
The man thought for a moment and then said.
At this moment, a middle-aged man came over, wearing an indigo formal suit, full of spirit!
"Everyone, the bridal sedan will arrive soon. Thank you all for coming to my son’s wedding!"
He raised his wine glass high, smiling broadly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he drained the cup!
Instantly, congratulatory voices rose one after another!
Hearing this, Su Chen immediately knew that this middle-aged man was indeed the Ni Family Head, Ni Zhuang.
Ni Zhuang also went down amidst the congratulations to the best table, and the servants behind him immediately filled the wine glasses.
"Brother Gu, it’s an honor for Ni to have you and Yunyan here."
At this moment, Ni Zhuang looked at a man about the same age as him and said.
The man smiled at his words and said:
"Family Head Ni is too kind. How could I not come on the joyous day of Young Master Sheng! You have raised a fine son!"
"Compared to Yunyan, he still has to work hard!"
Ni Zhuang laughed heartily. He was very satisfied with his son.
Otherwise, how could he agree to let him marry the adopted daughter of a Fifth Grade power?!
Whatever this son wanted, he would try his utmost to satisfy!
"Come, let me toast everyone."
He then addressed the others at the table.
After all, every one of them at this table was a prominent figure in Chiba City and couldn’t be neglected!
Of course, the Gu Family was the number one family in Chiba City, even among his Ni Family.
Though both were of the Fourth Grade, there was still a gap!
Especially since the Gu Family produced Gu Yunyan, whose talent and strength were even above his son, and was a True Disciple of the Third Rank force, Lingwu Sect!
After toasting this table, Ni Zhuang went to toast the next.
Of course, he only toasted a few tables in the front; toasting everyone was impossible and unnecessary!
Suddenly, a commotion arose, and the guests became excited!
Without a doubt, the bridal sedan had arrived!
Sure enough, after a while, two old women supported a woman dressed in splendid red silk as she walked over.
Everyone turned to look, only to see Ni Sheng appearing dignified and high-spirited, while the bride’s appearance was hidden by a red veil!
"Hmph, I heard that the Ni Family’s wedding this time is not so honorable!"
At this time, Gu Yunyan, sitting in his seat, snorted disdainfully.
"Yunyan, be careful with your words!"
Gu Hong quickly glanced at him and said.
The others at the same table acted as if they hadn’t heard anything; after all, neither the Gu Family nor the Ni Family were ones they could afford to offend.
At this moment, Su Chen felt his heart about to leap out!
Although he couldn’t see the face, he was too familiar with Qin Nishang!
He was ninety percent sure that it was Qin Nishang!
His eyes shot forth with frigid light!
Ni Family, Qi Family, since you dare to force Nishang, be prepared to face my wrath!
He had already learned from the discussions that Nishang had been taken in as an adopted daughter by the Qi Family!
If they treated Qin Nishang well, he would be deeply grateful!
But...
"Now, let’s invite the bride and groom to the stage!"
The host, who had been waiting on the side, immediately announced.
As soon as the words fell, the two old women helped Qin Nishang onto the stage.
Once they were on stage, the host continued:
"Now, let’s invite the elders of both families on stage."
As he finished speaking, Ni Family Head Ni Zhuang, Qi Family Head Qi Huang, and Qi Huang’s wife, Madame Wang, stepped onto the stage.
Ni Zhuang’s wife had passed away some years ago, and only some concubines were left by his side, so he went up alone.
After all, having a concubine on stage was inappropriate for such an occasion, especially since it involved his most promising son, Ni Sheng!
Next, the host prepared to commence the wedding ceremony.
Ni Sheng was also very excited because once this ceremony was over, whether she was willing or not, this woman would be his!
He had waited a month, and finally, it was here!
He couldn’t wait for nightfall, so he could then...
Similarly, Qi Huang and Madame Wang were thrilled!
After today, they would be truly aligned with the Ni Family ship!
Back then, they took in Qin Nishang because they appreciated her beauty, which was immensely attractive to men!
They hoped to use Qin Nishang to connect with greater forces!
Now, they had succeeded!
It was foreseeable that with the conclusion of this marriage, the Ni Family’s status in Chiba City would rise sharply and might even become one of the city’s most significant families!
While everyone was internally ecstatic about this marriage, Su Chen stood up and left his seat.
"Brother, where are you going?"
The man next to him curiously asked.
"I have something to take care of."
Su Chen turned his head with a smile and then walked toward the stage.
At this moment, his actions immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Who is this person?
What is he going to do?
