288 Chapter 288

The week passed by very quickly and by the end of it, they were prepared for what was to come.

During this entire week, Lin Fan never made contact with Jiang Zhi Shu's group other than that first time.

One, it was to ensure that everything was kept secret for the time it would be necessary and two, it was because of the cookies Lin Fan gave them.

While they were angry at Lin Fan for giving them these, they couldn't do a thing since Lin Fan was their boss.

Jiang Zhi Shu naturally knew why Lin Fan had played this trick on him since he heard Lin Fan's words. But after being together for several months now, the relationship between them was quite good and a small prank like this wouldn't ruin it. Not to mention that he was a bit to blame for this.

As for the others, they could only blame their bad luck that they followed Jiang Zhi Shu.

Finally, the day of the wedding came and it was a day that effectively shut down all business in Rock Mountain City. Well, that is with the exception of Lin Fan's store which still opened in the morning to sell out all their training slots.

The wedding was being held in the afternoon with the pre wedding ceremonies being held at noon, so there was plenty of time for them to go.

Lin Fan would be going with Angela as his plus one.

As for how he had received this invitation, he naturally took one of the invitations the Seekers Union had received.

Qiang You knew that Lin Fan was going to the wedding for other reasons, but he still gave him the invitation. For one, if Lin Fan did succeed, it would definitely be detrimental for the Jiang Family which would be good for him. For two, even if Lin Fan failed, nothing would happen to the Seekers Union since everyone knew about how the Seekers Union cooperated with Lin Fan's store, so it was natural for them to give Lin Fan a wedding invitation.

When Lin Fan and Angela arrived, the wedding reception was already packed with people.

Lin Fan easily recognized some of the people here since a lot of them were actually customers of his. They had even been at his store this morning to drop off their pets.

None of these people were simple, all of them were from noble and royal families.

All the people present at this wedding reception all had some form of status in Rock Mountain City. The only exception to this were the reporters that were being kept back by the guards, taking all kinds of pictures and trying to get their stories.

As Lin Fan and Angela headed in, they were stopped by the guards that were checking each of the guests.

The guards had a good idea of who would be coming already since as guards of the Jiang Family, they had dealings with most of the upper class in Rock Mountain City, so naturally they had already memorized what most of them looked like.

For an unfamiliar person to come to this wedding reception and act this confident, naturally it created many red flags.

But when Lin Fan showed the guards his invitation, they immediately backed down and profusely apologized to Lin Fan before letting him in.

After all, the invitation that Lin Fan had was addressed to the Seekers Union.

The Seekers Union was without a doubt the second strongest power in Rock Mountain City. Even main members of the Jiang Family would have to show some form of courtesy, not to mention these lowly guards.

This was an unknown person with an invitation for the Seekers Union, so they didn't dare neglect this person since they didn't know what kind of personality he had. If he were to want to take vengeance on them…

Lin Fan wasn't thinking any of this as he headed into the reception.

For the large part, he mainly went unnoticed since not many people did know him.

There were a few of his customers that came up to greet him out of courtesy, but there wasn't anything else. The only other thing that happened was that there were plenty of eyes that snuck gazes at Angela.

Lin Fan and Angela were staying in their own little corner waiting for the wedding to start when Qiang You came over with a woman who seemed just too young for him.

This was a woman who was in her early twenties and was quite the beauty when she was dressed up.

Lin Fan couldn't help raising a brow at Qiang You as he asked, "Is this the kind of thing you're into? Don't you already have a grandson?"

Qiang You's face turned a bit dark as he said, "What do you think?"

Lin Fan just revealed a smile and didn't say anything else.

Qiang You shook his head before saying, "This is Liu Mei, she is one of top seekers of our Seekers Union. I brought her here today to observe and help if you need it."

Lin Fan released his spiritual sense and he was surprised to find that while this Liu Mei was young, she was already in the Platinum Realm. By all rights, she was considered quite the genius just from this, but Lin Fan didn't need any help today since he was prepared.

Lin Fan just smiled and said, "I appreciate the gesture, but there's no need for you to do a thing."

Qiang You looked at him with a gaze of doubt, but he didn't keep asking since he knew that there was no point.

He also couldn't help sneaking a peek at Angela. This wasn't a gaze that was filled with lust like the others, this was one that was filled with fear since he knew what kind of power she wielded.

As long as this angel of death was here, Qiang You wasn't worried about Lin Fan. Rather, he even felt a bit sorry for the Jiang Family.

But also as a precaution, Qiang You had already reported Angela to the upper realm faction that was behind the Seekers Union. Even now, they still hadn't responded which didn't sit well with him.

Time passed bit by bit and soon it was time for the wedding.

As soon as the arranged time arrived, there was a sudden fanfare that rang out as flowers began raining down from the sky.

Everyone turned their gazes to look at the entrance of the hall where the doors had suddenly been flung open to reveal two figures in dazzling clothes walking in. One was a man who was in a pure white tuxedo and the other was a woman in the most stunning wedding dress. The only thing that was strange was the thick veil that was over her face, completely covering it.

When Angela saw this dress, her eyes couldn't help lighting up as she stared at it for a bit before taking a look at Lin Fan, almost suggesting something. It was too bad that Lin Fan didn't have time to pay attention to this as he had been staring at the groom the entire time.

The couple walked right down the aisle with the wedding song playing and soon they reached the altar that was at the end of the aisle.

Both of them stood facing forward for a second before turning to face each other.

The minister began giving the normal wedding script and everyone in the crowd was silent.

They all knew that there would be something special happening with this wedding, so the atmosphere was quite tense instead of being a happy and joyous wedding.

There were even some people that were openly holding their artifacts, as if they were prepared for anything to happen.

But as the wedding script continued, there was nothing that happened.

From the opening script of the minister, to the exchange of vows, or rather the vows of only the groom, to the exchanging of rings.

The entire wedding progressed as normal, with nothing seeming out of place. Well, not exactly nothing. The one strange thing with this wedding was that the bride had never said a single word the entire time other than "I do".

Finally, it reached the part before the final pronouncement where the minister asked, "Before we pronounce these two as man and wife, does anyone here have any reason for these two to not be joined in marriage? Please speak now or forever hold your peace."

The room was silent, that is until the skylights of the church were shattered and a group of cloaked figures jumped down right into the wedding hall.

Everyone in the hall was surprised to see this, but they all immediately reacted as they moved to the sides of the room, completely surrounding the cloaked figures.

There were also a few people in the crowd who had pulled out their weapons and artifacts, aiming them at the cloaked figures.

Jiang Qi Tai turned to calmly face the cloaked figures that had arrived and said, "May I ask what this is about?"

The lead cloaked figure came forward and said, "I object to this wedding!"

Jiang Qi Tai just looked right at that cloaked figure and calmly said, "On what grounds?"

The lead cloaked figure took off his hood and revealed his face to everyone, causing them all to let out gasps of shock. It was no one else but Jiang Zhi Shu!

Jiang Zhi Shu said through gritted teeth, "I think you know why."

Jiang Qi Tai just looked right at Jiang Zhi Shu and after a few seconds, he suddenly revealed a smile.

It was like he had expected Jiang Zhi Shu to arrive and he had indeed expected him to come.
