Two days later

The Wang clan had their doors opened early in the morning. Wang Tianhaos noble status was high even in Daqi Kingdom, let alone Feng City.

From the imperial court to the nobility, all the famous families of the country gathered to witness the ceremony. The guests were full of enthusiasm and congratulatory words over the union.

Before the day became bright, the Wang clan had lost count of the guests attending. Even Wang Tianhao, a warrior in the mid-stages of cultivation, was busy going back and forth. He barely even had the chance to stop and catch a breath, let alone get himself a drink.

The others in the family were even dizzier, but their eyes were full of joy and pride. Since Wang Tianhao had become a defender of the country, even those who once held a low position had now risen in status as well.

It was only early in the morning but Wang Tianhao felt like he was drained out from a neverending fight on the fiercest battlefield. However, the wedding had only just begun.

When the time arrived Wang Tianhao turned over to get a glimpse of what was happening. Among the crowd of long-awaited guests, he hurriedly made his way to the Jin family.

His old childishness had already faded away. He wore a dark red brocade robe, a white jade crown, and a pair of black suede ankle-high boots.

The three great blessings of life were meeting the love of ones life, the night of intimate relations, and achieving the best of the best. In just a short time, he had achieved two out of three. It was impossible not to feel elated.

Right now, all he wanted was to see Yuhuan. They had not seen each other since they were at the military court.

At the same time, both sides of the street were surrounded by lively people. All of Feng City was almost empty just to catch a glimpse of the youngest protector of the country.

Seeing Wang Tianhaos welcoming team come over, there was a commotion in the crowd and the people standing behind them laboriously probed forward and rushed to see the legendary Wang Tianhao. He was a legend of Feng City. For these people, it was a blessing to see the protector and warrior of the country with their own eyes, who had the presence of a god.

It was not spring but both sides of the roads were full of fresh flowers. The flowers burst into the air, and people could not help but be intoxicated. The trees on both sides were also hung with countless red lanterns, gently swinging in the breeze, as if cheering for this festive day.

The welcoming team blew all the way, passing through the crowded shoulders until they had arrived at the front door of the Jin clan. In front of the door stood several clan elders, respectfully admiring the arrival of the team.

The man of honor is coming! a young man from the family hurriedly called out.

A deafening firecracker started to fire up and the gongs and drums began to ring. A group of children watched happily. The scene was quite festive.

Wang Tianhao went to the gate and immediately turned over. He hung his coat and caught a glimpse of the elders. He said a few respectful words as he knelt in front of them. After a while, the elders of the Jin clan smiled in satisfaction. Wang Tianhao may be junior to them but in Feng City, he was a noble. Hence, they would get used to it.

Why didnt the ancestors of the Jin clan came out? Does young master have to usher him? Xu Shu looked around as his brow wrinkled.

Hey, what did you just say?! You have no right! Elderly Jin Jiu snorted. He was a man born with a sullen and grumpy temper.

Whoever you are, I dont want to know. The elders of the Jin clan can only talk to me, the highest member of the Wang clan. If he does not come out and usher, this marriage is off, Xu Shu looked dead into their eyes and said.

Whatd you say? You old geezer! This is Jin territory. You have no right to flash your pride here! Elderly Jin Jiu scoffed angrily.

Xu Shu, what do you think youre doing Wang Tianhao said helplessly. On one side was Yuhuans family who he did not want to offend and embarrass, on the other side was Xu Shu, who was like a teacher and a father to him throughout his life. He did not want to refute him in front of so many people. He looked at Xu Shu eagerly to send him the signal to stop talking.

A glimpse of anger could be clearly seen on the Jin side but they held their emotions. After all, the Wang clan now held sway over Feng City. If they were to cause any offense, it would be deadly for them. Despite their angry brows, there was no attack. Moreover, it was Yuhuan who was getting married and presenting the image of the Jin clan. They did not want to mess it up.

Just then, a loud voice came from the yard. During the conversation, the elders of the Jin clan had arrived at the door.

Young Master Wang has arrived. We elders apologize for not knowing that the Wang clan had such a rule. According to custom, the elderly should be waiting in the front hall. I apologize if Ive offended anyone, especially you, the Jin elder said apologetically.

Wang Tianhao felt a little awkward. Before he could speak up, a cousin of his who was standing beside him spoke again.

Hey, what customs?! Take a look at the identity of the Wang clan. It applies to the Jin elders too.

You How dare a lowlife as you speak in such a tone. Did the elders of the Wang clan did not teach the younger generation about respect?! the Jin elders sighed in disappointment.

The Jin Clan elders face turned purplish-red in anger but he refrained from saying anything else.

Without the tutor of the Wang clan, how can you Jin rise and protect the country? The Wang clan is the foremost family of Feng City so even if youre the elder of the Jin clan, you would still have to show up and usher our young master! Hes much better than all of you! Xu Shu said coldly.

Xu Shu, stop talking, Wang Tianhao who was on the side gently pulled Xu Shu to quiet him down.

Young Master, you cant be soft. If we dont put them in their place, they would not look at us like the royal family that we are in their eyes! Xu Shu said.

Yes yes, Xu Shu is right. If the Jin clan cant even look at us as nobility, then whats the good of it? the young man of the welcoming team nodded in agreement. Their faces were full of arrogance.

You bitch! You have no idea whats right and wrong yet you dare to say that to my face! some members of the Jin clan scoffed back in anger.

The ancestor and leader of the Jin clan screamed silently in their hearts as such words were taboo.

Sure enough, the Wang clan had always been arrogant since they had gained momentum. Hearing such language fired their hearts with anger.

Even Wang Tianhao could not help but frown. The Wang clan were running their mouths about having the top spot in Feng City.

For the time being, the atmosphere was tense.

The noise outside the door quickly spread into the house and several noisy middle-aged women began to talk more, causing Yuhuan to feel a little annoyed and resentful.

Today is her big day and if blood was shed, it would be unlucky. As things started getting out of hand, one of her maids of honor got out, trying to calm things down.

She sat on the edge of the bed frowning while holding the marriage invitation in her hand. She could not help but blame Wang Tianhao for what was happening right now.

On the side was Aunt Zhen, who became anxious listening to the news outside. She was a woman and although the Jin clan had been afraid of Shi Mu for years now, both of them all respected him. This time, however, it was not at all appropriate.

Yuhuan was the only daughter of the Jin clan and her daughters happiness was her biggest concern. Looking at this situation, Aunt Zhen could not help but worry if her daughter would be bullied after she was married.

After a moment of cranky thoughts, she could not help but burst into tears.

When Yuhuan saw her mothers sad tears, she became more anxious. From the bottom of her heart, she believed in Wang Tianhaos feelings for her but she did not want to see the family shamed. She did not want to see her mother so sad. It was a mess and had she had no idea what to say. All she could do was pat her mothers back to ease her feelings.

Just as the two sides of the clan confronted each other, a figure suddenly stepped out from the corner of the street. There was a colorful parrot on his shoulder.

Shi Mu had been observing the corner of the street for a long time. Although he had no good feelings for the Jin family, he could not stand seeing Aunt Zhen and Yuhuan in such a situation.

Whats going on? Its supposed to be a big day, why are you fighting over whos better? The Jin clan looks weak. Definitely not the Wang clans match, Shi Mu laughed as he walked.

His voice was not loud but it was clear enough to be heard.

For a time, the members of both the Jin and Wang clan turned and looked at each other to find out the source of the sound.

Who are you to talk about the Jin clan?! a member of the Jin clan was enraged.

Who am I? Youre not sure? Shi Mu smiled slightly and looked at the Jin elder.

Shi Mu! The Jin clan elder and Wang Tianhao immediately shouted at the same time. The other members of both clans were surprised.

Xu Shu looked at Shi Mu, shocked. He initially seemed to think of something but his thoughts rolled down and he chose to be silent.

Oh, it seems that the two of you still remember that it is under the glory, Shi Mu talked as he walked up to the Jin clan and Wang Tianhao.

Shi Mu, when did you come back? Wang Tianhao looked at him in delight. Although he had lost twice to Shi Mu, it was a thing of the past. Now he was a congenital mid-stage warrior. Seeing Shi Mu, he could not help but feel the urge to spar with him again.

Shi Mu did not pay attention to him. Instead, he turned to the Wang clan who previously shouted for a duel.

If you want a duel, then lets do it. You guys can come as a group or individually. I will represent the Jin clan as Aunt Zhen is my stepmother and Yuhuan is my sister. As her brother, I have the right to help her earn her pride.

Shi Mu, since when did you enter the Jin clan? There is no room for you here! a Jim disciple said.

Oh really? Elder? Shi Mu snorted.

The Jim elders face had already become pale but he did not dare say too much to Shi Mu. The blood in his veins ran cold. He could not take his familys pride and name as a joke. Regardless, he did not dare to say a word.

If thats the case, there is a condition for the next test. Today is my sisters big day. So no matter how rough the duel gets, no blood can be seen. Would Brother Wang not mind this? Shi Mu suddenly turned to Wang Tianhao and asked.

Wang Tianhao nodded slightly as he had been put in a complicated situation between both clans. What Shi Mu said was a means of resolution. He only wished to end it as soon as possible so he could quickly get to Yuhuan.

As Shi Mu saw this, he allowed Cai to fly over and supervise as he slowly walked toward the Wang clan.
