Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1217: Underestimation Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire "The words of Noble Nephew Huo make sense.

To think that Nephew Lin’s sect would have so many beautiful maidens.

If they are looking for marriage partners, us elders can indeed act as matchmakers.

" An elder laughed jovially.

"I wonder if this maiden already has a marriage agreement?

" A young man asked as he turned to stare at Mo Qingcheng.

This young man displayed an elegant bearing and possessed a prominent extraordinary background.

He believed that his status was respectable enough to gain Mo Qingcheng’s attention.

However, Mo Qingcheng didn’t even bother to glance at him.

She continued holding Qin Wentian’s hand, causing the young man’s expression to stiffen.

He naturally understood the meaning behind her actions.

Huo Yan glanced at Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng as a hint of jealousy flashed past his eyes.

It was then that Lin Shuai came over.

The corners of his lips were clearly painted with unhappiness.

He was very clear of the status that his junior apprentice brother Qin Wentian had, one that gave him the confidence to talk equally with immortal kings and even directly meet with the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.

It was really ridiculous that these people were trying to make a move on Mo Qingcheng.

In addition, the girls around Qin Wentian were all extraordinary.

Purgatory had a close connection with Qin Wentian, Qin Yao and Ye Lingshuang were his foster elder sisters while Luo Huan was his senior apprentice sister.

For them to propose marriage?

With Qin Wentian around, what right did these random people have to offer their opinions?

Even their junior apprentice sister Lou Bingyu was a maiden with a prideful heart.

Why would she fall for these people?

He also knew that the people of the Chen Clan didn’t really hold him in high regard.

But did the Chen Clan guests really dare to covet the girls around Qin Wentian?

All of them were far from being qualified.

"What are you all doing?

My sect came here today to offer their congratulations, not to find marriage partners.

" Lin Shuai stared forcefully at Huo Yan before glancing at the crowd.

He had a very good relationship with Chen Yi.

Hence, he didn’t mind how the people of the Chen Clan looked at him.

For him, this wedding was merely to satisfy the Chen Clan’s demands.

After this, they would roam the immortal realms together to temper themselves and would no longer concern themselves with the Chen Clan’s thoughts on their union, and neither would they care about their snide attitude.

However, these people were being so rude to his sect members, he couldn’t help but interject.

"Lin Shuai, watch your tone.

That’s your brother-in-law," Chen Yi’s elder brother Chen Ao coldly reprimanded as he walked over to them.

Huo Yan laughed, staring at Lin Shuai as if he were looking at a clown.

Everyone had expressions of interest on their faces.

Chen Ao would be Lin Shuai’s elder brother after the marriage; Lin Shuai and Huo Yan should be of equal status to him, as they were both the husbands of his sisters.

Yet now, he was actually berating Lin Shuai on the day of his grand wedding?

From this, one could clearly see the Chen Clan’s attitude towards Lin Shuai.

"Senior Brother, it’s fine.

" Qin Wentian smiled.

Since today was Lin Shuai and Chen Yi’s wedding day, he naturally didn’t want to spoil the mood.

At the very least, he didn’t want Lin Shuai to fall out with his in-laws.

If not, things would truly get very ugly.

"Junior Brother Qin.

" Lin Shuai shot a look at Qin Wentian only to see him nodding patiently.

Qin Wentian transmitted his voice over, "Senior Brother, we came here to offer our congratulations so we won’t do anything to make things awkward.

However, Senior Brother, if you need me to do anything, you can just let me know any time.

" Lin Shuai jerked back in surprise, but soon gave a slight nod in response.

"What are you all doing?

Lin Shuai, go and prepare yourself.

The ceremony is going to start.

" The Chen Clan was a first-tier clan and naturally attached great importance to formal ceremonies.

Lin Shuai nodded his head, while Chen Yi had an apologetic look on her face as she stared at Qin Wentian and his group.

"What kind of attitude is that?

" Chen Xue coldly stated after Lin Shuai and Chen Yi left, not bothering to lower her voice.

Naturally, Qin Wentian and his group could hear her quite clearly.

"From today onwards, that man will be a son-in-law of the Chen Clan.

Who knows, he might even stay in your residence and become the clan master in the future?

" Huo Yan stated in a sarcastic tone.

"He was so rude to you.

If it wasn’t for me giving face to Little Yi, I would have immediately told father to chase him out of our clan," Chen Xue said with derision.

"Forget it, today should be a joyous day, so let’s not spoil the mood," Huo Yan said insincerely.

There was still a smile on his face, exuding an air of hypocrisy.

Their conversation could be clearly heard by everyone.

The people from the Battle Sword Sect were completely outraged.

Weren’t they clearly treating them as air?

From this, one could easily see how much the Chen Clan disdained Lin Shuai.

"We have all cultivated for so many years, don’t be so easily angered.

Today, no one is allowed to spoil the atmosphere for Lin Shuai.

" The old ancestor also looked visibly displeased.

In such a situation, even if they had to suffer from humiliation, they didn’t want to cause trouble on the day of Lin Shuai’s wedding.

"Let’s go and take a look at the ceremony.

" The old ancestor sighed.

All of them then walked towards the center of the residence.

The wedding ceremony first involved greeting the ancestor of the Chen Clan and then serving tea as a mark of respect to the elders and others in the clan.

Although the elders of the Chen Clan didn’t approve of Chen Yi being together with Lin Shuai, they wouldn’t purposely make things difficult since Chen Yi had been so adamant.

Even for Chen Ao, although his expression was cold, he still presented them with a gift and offered his congratulations after they served him tea.

However, when it was Huo Yan and Chen Xue’s turn to be served the tea that Lin Shuai and Chen Yi had prepared, Chen Xue actually frowned and did not stretch her hands out to receive it.

"I’m not qualified enough to drink this tea," Chen Xue stated unhappily.

"Chen Xue," Father Chen solemnly admonished.

This daughter of his seemed determined to create trouble.

"Sister, if Lin Shuai and I failed to do well in some ways, you can tell us directly.

Little Yi will take the initiative to apologize to Elder Sister and Brother-in-Law now.

" Chen Yi bowed.

"Little Yi, this has nothing to do with you.

" Chen Xue waved her words away.

"Little Yi, we are not unhappy with you.

We only feel that it is such a pity given how outstanding your talent is...

" Huo Yan sighed, still wearing a smile.

However, his words were undoubtedly a slap to Lin Shuai’s face.

"This bastard!

" Sword Sovereign Lingtian’s countenance turned ashen when he saw his beloved disciple being deliberately targeted in this manner.

Ye Lingshuang’s gaze had also turned deeply forbidding.

She glanced at Qin Wentian and sent a voice transmission, "Wentian, Senior Brother Lin doesn’t wish to use your status to lift himself up, but these people are simply too rude.

They dare to humiliate Senior Brother just because they have some backing.

Can you use a subtle way to help Senior Lin without spoiling the wedding atmosphere?

" "Sis Lingshuang, Senior Brother has his own pride.

If he isn’t willing to, I won’t force my own wishes onto him.

This is my respect for him, and I have also hinted heavily that as long as he agrees, I will naturally take care of this matter," Qin Wentian replied.

"Okay then.

" Ye Lingshuang nodded her head.

She can only hope that Lin Shuai would be able to think things through with clarity.

He didn’t want to use Qin Wentian just for the sake of being impressive, but the Chen Clan seemed to be fond of bullying him.

When Chen Yi heard Huo Yan’s words, a look of anger appeared in her eyes.

She pulled Lin Shuai’s hands and actually chose to ignore Chen Xue and Huo Yan, directly stepping past them to pay their respects to the next in line.

Huo Yan’s smile simply froze on his face.

And when he saw the gazes of ridicule from the watchful crowd, a deep chill ran through his heart.

Was she trying to smack his face on purpose?

"Sister, look.

" Qin Wentian smiled when he saw the look of determination on Chen Yi’s face.

He could finally understand why his Senior Brother Lin Shuai wanted to marry this maiden despite the loss of face from holding the wedding in the bride’s clan.

Back then, when he got together with Qingcheng, wasn’t he met with plenty of criticism and disapproval as well?

The mouths of Chen Xue and Huo Yan twisted with displeasure.

But Father Chen stopped them with a single gaze, not allowing them to vent their anger.

As the ceremony proceeded, everyone gave their blessings in a unified voice as they stood up.

Father Chen then said, "Chen Ao, Chen Xue.

You two go and help out with the seating arrangements.

" "Okay.

" Chen Ao and some others nodded, and then obeyed the order.

They first walked towards a middle-aged man clad in luxurious robes and bowed.

"Senior Fang, please take the VIP seat.

" "This isn’t appropriate.

The master seat should be left to the kin of either the bride or the groom.

" That middle-aged man shook his head with a laugh.

"Brother Wen, there’s no need to be so courteous.

If you don’t sit there, who else would be qualified enough to take the master seat?

" Father Chen personally walked over and gave a low bow.

This middle-aged man had an extraordinary status, hailing from an extremely powerful clan whose level of power belonged to the tier of immortal kings.

The immortal king expert from his clan had some form of relationship with Father Chen, and hence, he came here to give some face and participate in the wedding banquet.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t reject your kind offer.

" That middle-aged man nodded.

This middle-aged man was clad in green and sat in the position of the master seat.

Many people clasped their hands towards him in respect, wanting to chat with him.

Chen Ao and Chen Xue continued to arrange the seats for the guests while Qin Wentian and the Battle Sword Sect were ignored, and they stood silently at the side.

When the seats were almost filled, with even the servants being assigned seats at the back, the Battle Sword Sect was still left standing.

It was then that Chen Xue and Huo Yan walked over.

Huo Yan laughed, "Everyone, I must apologize, I didn’t know that Lin Shuai already had a sect hence we didn’t prepare enough seats.

Do you mind heading to the servant section at the back and see if there are any seats remaining?

" The people from the Battle Sword Sect all wore icy looks on their faces.

Ye Lingshuang couldn’t control herself anymore and asked in a cold voice, "Is this how the Chen Clan treats their guests?

" "We didn’t even invite you in the first place but you guys are so thick-skinned, choosing to come here anyway.

Could it be that you want to obtain seats based on your statuses?

" Chen Xue rudely spat in a low voice.

"Do you know who Senior Fang is?

He is someone from an immortal-king level clan.

Do you think you guys are qualified enough to sit together with someone like him?

" Right now, Lin Shuai stood on the stage but there was no smile of happiness on his face.

Today was his wedding day, and he didn’t really care about his face and pride.

But to think that the people from the Chen Clan would intentionally make things difficult for his sect.

He could clearly hear every single word said by Chen Xue.

"If the beauties here have no seats, I’m sure some of us wouldn’t mind squeezing together with them.

" A young man glanced at the beautiful maidens of the Battle Sword Sect as he laughed.

His tone was obviously mocking them.

This young man was from a first-tier clan as well, hence, he didn’t fear the Battle Sword Sect who was merely an ascendant-ranked power.

That senior in the master seat glanced towards the source of the commotion and when he saw Qin Wentian, a gleam of sharpness appeared in his eyes.

He then asked Father Chen, "What is the name of that handsome young man in white?

" "He is someone from Lin Shuai’s sect and should be his junior apprentice brother.

However, he seems to have had a bout of good fortune.

Look at the extraordinary demeanor he is exuding, and he can even retract his aura so completely.

However, for the two maidens by his side, they seem to be at the immortal-foundation realm," Father Chen replied.

He didn’t really care about a few immortal-foundation characters.

After all, there were plenty of immortal-foundation experts among the guests invited by their Chen Clan.

"Do you know his surname?

" the middle-aged man asked.

"I think I heard Lin Shuai calling him Junior Brother Qin earlier on.

Do you need me to clarify things with Lin Shuai?

" Father Chen asked.

"Qin?

" The heart of the middle-aged man shuddered violently for a moment.

It seems like he wasn’t mistaken.

Although his Fang Clan was an immortal-king ranked power in the Cloud Prefecture, he knew they were as insignificant as ants when compared to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.

How could they dare to ignore anyone from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect?

His Fang Clan had already received many information reports regarding the important characters of the sect.

Within those reports, there was an extremely important character from the junior generation named Qin Wentian.

It looks like he should inform his ancestor to make a trip over here.

After all, given Qin Wentian’s status, even he wasn’t qualified enough to speak with him!
