On the stage, Chen Yi lightly tugged on Lin Shuai’s hands, smiling as she looked into his eyes. She tightened her grip to give him a gentle squeeze. She could sense how unhappy he was. Making things difficult for him was the same as making things difficult for her as well.

"I don’t really care about this wedding. I won’t take offense even if it means enduring some unpleasantness as well." Chen Yi transmitted her voice to Lin Shuai. "If you’re unhappy, just show it, there’s no need to suppress it. After this, we will leave immediately. Whatever it is you you want to do, just follow what your heart tells you."

"I wanted this wedding to be perfect for you. You choosing to marry me caused all this resentment from your clan. I’m sorry you have to suffer because of me." Lin Shuai sighed.

"It’s fine, since I already made my choice, so everything else already doesn’t matter. But I feel bad seeing the people of your sect suffer humiliation like this. From Huo Yan’s attitude, he doesn’t seem like he would give it up so easily." Chen Yi helplessly spoke. She also didn’t anticipate that her clan members would insult her husband’s sect. Even her brother-in-law who was usually full of smiles, as well as her blood-sister Chen Xue were involved as well.

"How can I bear to destroy the atmosphere of our own wedding?" Lin Shuai sighed. He then turned his gaze in the direction of Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian sensed it, and returned his gaze.

After that, he only saw his senior brother Lin Shuai nodding to him.

Qin Wentian smiled. He turned and spoke to Purgatory who was behind him, "Since people invited you, just go and take a seat."

"Okay." Purgatory nodded, she then walked towards the direction of the young man who spoke earlier.

This young man was from the Wan Clan and their clan held immense authority in this area. The name of this young man was called Wan Jiansheng and he was a sword cultivator. When he saw Purgatory actually walking over to him, an expression of joy appeared on his face. He instantly stood up and offered his seat with a smile, "Maiden, please feel free to be seated."

Purgatory didn’t bother to act polite, directly sitting down. Qin Wentian smiled, "Let’s go to the very back then. We shouldn’t affect the mood of senior brother’s wedding."

Since Qin Wentian had spoken, the people of his group naturally nodded. Even Sword Sovereign Lingtian didn’t have any objections.

The group of them actually really walked to the back, finding seats together with the servants. When Chen Xue and Huo Yan saw this scene, an expression of mocking delight appeared on their faces.

Finally, these people understood their own statuses.

When the Battle Sword Sect sat down, even the servants had looks of disdain on their faces. But because of their status, they didn’t dare to casually say anything, save for revealing the contempt in their eyes.

"Lin Shuai." Chen Yi glanced at Lin Shuai who was beside her.

"Let’s leave it to junior brother Qin." Lin Shuai spoke with confidence. Chen Yi had a look of puzzlement on her face. Leave it to junior brother Qin?

"Let us go serve the ceremonial wine to the others then." Lin Shuai no longer cared about everyone’s attitude. He initially didn’t want any complications and only hoped for a simple wedding. But, there seems to be no choice at all. He didn’t want to use the status of his junior apprentice brother to elevate himself but it seem like the entire Chen Clan was bent on humiliating his sect.

Since this is the case, he can only let his junior brother Qin settle this. He believed that with Qin Wentian’s current status as well as his experience in the immortal realms, he would definitely be able to handle this perfectly.

"Okay." Since Lin Shuai said this, Chen Yi naturally didn’t really mind as well. She and Lin Shuai walked back to the banquet, and raised their wine cups to the middle-aged man in the master seat.

"Lin Shuai, Little Yi, this is Senior Fang." Father Chen intentionally introduced.

"Senior Fang." Lin Shuai lifted his cup in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. He didn’t really radiate any respect. This caused Father Chen to frown. This Lin Shuai, was there something wrong with his mind? He personally introduced Senior Fang to them, yet Lin Shuai merely greeted him with such a casual tone?

However, the middle-aged man didn’t seem to mind at all. He actually directly stood up and smiled at Lin Shuai, "Noble nephew Lin truly has an extraordinary demeanor, I believe you will accomplish great things in the future. Congratulations to the two of you, and I hope that you both will be happily married forever after."

"Sir, there’s no need to be so courteous." Father Chen hurriedly spoke, indicating that he should sit down. However, the middle-aged man merely waved his hands, "I should, I should. If noble nephew and niece Little Yi are free in the future, you can just pay a visit to my Clan. We will naturally treat you as valuable guests."

After that, he drained the contents of his cup. He then stared expectantly at Lin Shuai, as though he admired this young man very much. Such a behavior caused both Lin Shuai and Chen Yi to feel extremely puzzled.

However, they didn’t think too much and just continued offering wine as a mark of their respect to the other elders.

Chen Ao and Chen Xue accompanied the other guests, entertaining them. With so many people here, these siblings were naturally extremely busy. However after a while, Huo Yan arrived at the section where the servants and Battle Sword Sect were at. He smiled at them, "Everyone, thank you for coming from so far away. However, the prestige of one’s background naturally matters and in the world, only having status would you be in a position to speak. Hence, we can only arrange the seats in the back for all of you, I hope that you guys won’t be offended."

Clearly, the meaning in these words was saying that the Battle Sword Sect had no status, this was why they had to sit with the servants at the back.

"We naturally won’t be." Ye Lingshuang coldly replied. "No matter where one is, there will always be despicable snobs all around. If we take offense at everyone, wouldn’t that be very stressful for us? In addition, it’s fine if those snobs had the qualifications to be snobbish. But clearly, they were merely insignificant ant-like beings, yet they still believe they are lofty characters. I wonder if they were born stupid or blind? But naturally, we wouldn’t lower ourselves to their level."

Huo Yan froze. Staring at Ye Lingshuang, an expression of interest appeared in his eyes. After that, he merely smiled, "This young lady most probably still hasn’t truly seen much of the world yet, mistakenly believing that ascendants truly do have some status. If you are still single, why don’t you come and visit my clan? Who knows, you might be fortunate enough to become the concubine of an immortal."

"We came from a small place and naturally, we wouldn’t have seen much of the world. Hence, our attitudes remained humble. Unlike you who is clearly also merely an ascendant yet your arrogance even surpasses immortal kings." Ye Lingshuang sarcastically commented. In the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, she has already interacted with many immortal kings before. All of them had warm personalities and exuded elegance. Their arrogance stemmed from pride for themselves, unlike Huo Yan who was depending on his clan’s background.

"Immortal kings?" Huo Yan laughed sarcastically. "Have you ever seen one before? Using such a method to raise your own status? Aren’t you a little too vain?"

Immortal kings were all supreme characters, how could the Battle Sword Sect, who was merely an ascendant power, have seen any before?

After that, he poured the wine in his cup on the floor, not bothering to toast them at all.

"Sir Huo Yan is of the direct line of descent and has a chance in the future to fight for the position of clan master. His status is extraordinary while you guys are merely from an ascendant power..." A servant girl at the side spoke up. All the servants had their heads lowered but there were clearly smiles of contempt on their faces. How shameful that these people thought they could compare with Huo Yan.

"Even a servant lass holds us in disdain." Qin Wentian had a bitter smile on his face.

Toward the front, Wan Jiansheng felt his heart being stirred by Purgatory’s beauty the longer he looked at her. Purgatory radiated a beauty that had hints of demonic charm within. Just staring at her eyes would cause one’s heartbeat to quicken involuntarily.

"I wonder if beauty has any one in mind?" Wan Shenjian got close to Purgatory, his hand slowly coming in contact with the skin on her arm. But at the instant of contact, he suddenly screamed as the wine cup in his other hand fell onto the ground.

Everyone instantly turned over. Purgatory glanced at Wan Jiansheng as she asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Wan Jiansheng furrowed his brows. Earlier, he felt a current of heat entering his arm, causing a piercing pain.

Everyone then shifted their gazes away. Wan Jiansheng continued to probe Purgatory, wanting to get more information about her interests but Purgatory merely coldly sat there, she couldn’t be bothered to reply. But the more she did so, the more Wan Jiansheng wanted her.

He coldly laughed in his heart. The people of Lin Shuai’s sect had no status at all. Although this female was beautiful, how could her status be compared to his? If he wanted her, he would be able to do so easily yet this maiden didn’t even want to spare another look at him?

When he thought to here, his lust stirred. Staring at her beautiful face and curvaceous figure, his felt emboldened. With a twist of his body, he pretended that he was falling down. The direction of his fall was naturally towards Purgatory. However, there was no panic in his eyes at all. His gaze was fixed at the curvy bust of Purgatory as he stretched out his hands, planning to grab them.

"ARGH!" A scream of agony rang out. Wan Jiansheng didn’t manage to touch Purgatory. At the instant his hands stretched out, a fearsome heat current directly invaded his body, charring his upper body in an instant. Also, the remnants of heat that was in one of his arms earlier, also activated, causing the nerves in that entire arm to be burned badly. Wan Jiansheng screamed in extreme pain, once again causing the eyes of many to look over.

"Jiansheng!" A middle-aged expert hurriedly sped over when he saw what happened. Glancing at Wan Jiansheng’s injuries, as well as that crippled arm, his expression instantly turned ashen, glancing at Purgatory.

"Slut!" That expert no longer cared if this was the wedding of Lin Shuai.

Huo Yan and Chen Xue also rushed over. Huo Yan then stared at Purgatory as he spoke, "How can you be so sinister on a wedding day? You are merely a lowly slut from an inferior power. Even if you are from Lin Shuai’s sect, you won’t be spared today."

Many people had expressions of interest on their faces as they continued watching. This was especially so when some of the immortal-foundation experts realized that Purgatory was an immortal as well.

Only to see that at this moment, Purgatory slowly stood up. In an instant, a terrifying immortal might gushed forth from her, permeating the surroundings as the temperature in the area soared up in a frenzy. For a moment, Huo Yan was completely stifled by that pressure, as he was soaked in his own perspiration.

"How powerful..." At this instant, many people had shock on their faces. The cultivation base of this female was so powerful?

Even those immortal-foundation characters also had looks of shock on their faces when they felt her strength.

"Who did you say was a lowly slut?" Purgatory’s expression was ice cold, as she stared at Huo Yan as well as the middle-aged expert beside Wan Jiansheng. Even that middle-aged expert felt an immense pressure when facing Purgatory. One must know that his cultivation base was at the sixth-level. Yet the aura of this beautiful maiden didn’t lose out to his at all.

Very swiftly, Lin Shuai, Chen Yi and the others came here respectively. Chen Yi’s eyes were filled with awe. To think that this female was actually so powerful.

Father Chen arrived as well. The middle-aged expert beside Wan Jiansheng had a grim look on his face. He then spoke, "Brother Chen, my son’s hand was crippled in this wedding your clan organized. How does brother Chen plan to deal with the culprit?"

"That female is too impudent, she actually dared to do such a thing in front of everyone?" Huo Yan’s father arrived as well, standing beside him as he stared coldly at Purgatory.

At the other side, Qin Wentian slowly placed down the wine cup in his hand as he finally looked up!
