The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 558 - Three Weirdos

Chapter 558 Three Weirdos

Chu Tianhe and Liu Ran had their specific work to do. Chu Tianhe would deal with Chu Xun. Liu Ran was responsible for persuading Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu.

Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu were both deeply in love with Chu Xun. As Liu Ran came to persuade them in person, naturally, they agreed on the marriage. Everything went smoothly.

However, the protagonist of this wedding, Chu Xun, looked like an outsider.

Chu Xun wanted to cry but had no tears. He was the groom. Shouldn’t they ask for his opinion?

However, no one cared about Chu the Devil.

Even Yan Wushuang and the others were more popular than him. They were in western dress and leather shoes.

Being used to the suits of the warriors, Chu Xun felt very uncomfortable when he saw them in western dress.

The marriage of a warrior would be arranged according to the Martial Tao rules. With parental permission, young couples would follow the rites. Then the wedding was over.

As for the marriage certificate, no one thought of it at all.

To put it bluntly, a piece of paper couldn’t ensure a marriage. Sometimes, a certificate was nothing more than a piece of paper.

Chu Xun’s marriage was a big deal.

The news spread. Almost everyone knew about it.

Who didn’t want to join in the wedding of the Lord of Chu Mansion? Almost all of them wanted to see Chu Xun.

Qianlong Mountain was not large enough to accommodate all the guests.

After discussing with Chu Xun, they decided to hold the wedding in Gujiang City.

The next day, tens of thousands of warriors rushed into Gujiang City.

It was just the first day. If the wedding began, the city would be packed solid with people.

Yan Wushuang and the others discussed and decided that no one could attend the wedding without any relationship with Chu Xun.

At the moment, the disciples of the Chu Mansion guarded all the intersections in Gujiang City. If anyone wanted to attend the wedding, they should identify themselves. Those who were not in the high status could not enter.

Everyone was preparing for the wedding, but Chu Xun was sighing and doing nothing.

Chu Xun sighed again in the square. “Whose wedding is it?”

Just as he tried to find something to do, he accidentally saw a white figure walking away. It was Tang Rou.

Tang Rou had been cultivating alone since they came back. Chu Xun knew that she was hiding from him.

Chu Xun thought for a while and followed her.

Tang Rou was ready to hide in the secret chamber to cultivate.

Chu Xun stopped her.

Tang Rou was shocked, turned around, and looked at Chu Xun with a faint smile.

“Congratulations, Brother Chu Xun.”

Chu Xun felt a sharp pain in his heart. No matter how silly he was, he knew that the blessing was full of sadness and helplessness. It was very cruel for her to see the man she loved getting married to other people. Besides, she had to pretend to be strong and say congratulations.

“Are you all right?” Chu Xun didn’t know what to say.

He was living a happy life with Jing Hong and Hua Qingwu. He could not be too greedy, so he could only betray Tang Rou.

There was a faint smile on Tang Rou’s face. As usual, she was gentle and quiet, with no other emotion on her face.

But only she knew how hard she had to pretend.

“I’m fine.” She cocked her head to the side. Squinting her round eyes slightly, she looked unreal under the sunlight.

Actually, her words obeyed her will, so it didn’t make sense to distinguish if it was true.

“Brother Chu Xun, everyone is busy with your wedding. As a groom, you seem to have nothing to do.”

Chu Xun restrained his other emotions and said with a faint smile, “They were enough to deal with it. Anyway, I’m not familiar with the matter. My help will only cause more trouble.”

“Brother Chu Xun is just lazy. That’s not a good excuse,” Tang Rou said with a faint smile.

Chu Xun chuckled and said, “I’m telling the truth. I’m not omnipotent. There are many things that I can’t do well.”

Tang Rou’s smile faded a little. Did he have no choice? Was her Brother Chu Xun telling her that they would never be together?

That was right. She had no qualification to ask for anything. If she hadn’t left Qianlong Mountain without permission because of Chu Xun’s refusal, Hong Ling would not have died for her.

Compared with Hong Ling, her love for Chu Xun was not worth mentioning.

“Rourou, will you come when I get married?” As soon as he said that, Chu Xun had an impulse to slap himself.

What the hell was that? Knowing Tang Rou liked him, he invited her to see his happiness. Chu Xun suddenly felt that he was a jerk.

“Rourou, I’m sorry. I mean...”

“Brother Chu Xun, don’t worry. I will go there at that time,” Tang Rou said with a faint smile, as usual.

Chu Xun was speechless for a moment. He didn’t know what to say.

“Brother Chu Xun, is there anything else? If there is nothing else, I’ll go to cultivate,” Tang Rou said.

Chu Xun nodded slightly.

“Then I won’t bother you,” after that, Chu Xun turned around and left.

He knew Tang Rou was looking at him. Without turning back, he could feel her bitterness.

“Lao Hei, even though my heart is like a stone, I am still a human but not a demon. If I have a demonized heart, I wouldn’t have so many troubles, right?”

Chu Xun walked away directly, leaving Tang Rou in tears.

“Brother Chu Xun, I wish you happiness.”

The stone door of the secret chamber slowly closed, separating the two hearts.

Chu Xun encountered Yan Wushuang and Flaming Qilin halfway.

“What do you think of my outfit, Chu Xun?” Asked Yan Wushuang, wearing his sunglasses, with his long hair flowing. He looked unorthodox.

Chu Xun was not in a good mood, but he was still amused. He commented, “Not bad. You look like a bodyguard.”

Yan Wushuang’s smile froze on his face, and he glared at Chu Xun unhappily. He had dressed himself up carefully.

“You’re just jealous that I’m more handsome than you,” Yan Wushuang muttered.

“What about me? I look very handsome, don’t I?” Flaming Qilin said proudly.

Chu Xun turned his head, and he couldn’t bear to look at Flaming Qilin’s clothes.

Flaming Qilin was wearing a black suit, a red shirt, black leather shoes, red socks, a black tie, and red hair. More importantly, he cut his hair short and combed it back. He wore sunglasses, with a cigar in his mouth, carrying a small suitcase in his hand. He looked like an upstart and a hooligan.

Chu Xun rubbed his eyebrows and asked, “What’s in it?”

“Spiritual herbs and spiritual elixirs...” Flaming Qilin opened his suitcase. There were several hundred spiritual herbs and spiritual elixirs inside.

“Why do you bring them with you?” Chu Xun was puzzled.

“It is your wedding day, so you can’t look poor. If you run into someone else, you can throw some spiritual herbs at him or her first and then speak. You will look respectable. It also proves that Chu Mansion doesn’t lack money,” said Flaming Qilin.

The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth twitched. He was sure that zombies were even disdainful of Flaming Qilin’s brain. The others would fight him if he threw the spiritual elixirs at them first.

Chu Xun felt ashamed of the weirdo.

“I’m coming!” Yue Jingchou ran over and muttered, “I’ve been looking for you everywhere. You’re here.”

“What’s the matter?” Chu Xun asked.

“Nothing serious,” said Yue Jingchou, shaking his head, “Uncle, what do you think of my outfit?”

Chu Xun had seen that Yue Jingchou’s appearance was much better than Yan Wushuang’s and Flaming Qilin’s.

He wore a tuxedo, a top hat, and held a cane.

“Are you going to perform magic or dance?” Chu Xun’s face darkened.

Yue Jingchou took off his hat and bent down, pressing it on his chest. With one hand behind his back, he gave a standard gentleman’s salute.

“Uncle,” said Yue Jingchou, “this is an important day for you. I won’t allow myself to embarrass you. I must look graceful.”

“Look what you are wearing?” Flaming Qilin scowled with a face full of disgust at Yue Jingchou, “You’re like a man training monkeys.”

Unconvinced, Yue Jingchou said with disdain, “How handsome you are! You’re dressed like a marmot. People who don’t know you might think you’re from a wealthy family in your village.”

“Who do you think you’re talking about, you rascal?” Flaming Qilin glowered at Yue Jingchou, “The Devil’s wedding ceremony needs to be grandiose, understand? What’s the point of pretending to be a gentleman?”

“You country bumpkin,” Yue Jingchou rebutted, “come on, stop! Look at yourself! Look at how bad you look! You look like a country bumpkin upstart from the countryside!”

“Enough bickering, you two,” said Yan Wushuang, flicking his sleeves and straightening his suit. “I’d say, it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Stop laughing at each other. It’s all up to me.”

“Bumpkin, get out of the way. You looked like you are from a circus,” Flaming Qilin sneered.

“Yeah, that’s right. Look at your outfit. People might think you came from a mental hospital,” added Yue Jingchou.

The three of them bickered with each other.

Chu Xun rubbed the spot between his eyebrows in pain. He had made friends carelessly.

At this time, a disciple of the Chu Mansion ran over and saluted.

“Mansion Lord, there’s a person called Diao Xingyi. He said he was your friend and wanted to see you.”

“Hurry and invite him in,” Chu Xun said. Diao Xingyi had fought side by side with him before.

Not long after that disciple left, he brought Diao Xingyi over.

“Brother Chu, congratulations.”

He greeted them from a distance.

Just as Chu Xun was about to speak, Flaming Qilin opened the suitcase and threw a bunch of spiritual herbs at Diao Xingyi.

Diao Xingyi was stunned.

The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth twitched, and then he turned around with his hands covering his face. It was so embarrassing.

“What are you doing?” As a Lord, Diao Xingyi didn’t have a good temper. He glared at Flaming Qilin.

Flaming Qilin held the cigar in his mouth and said with his head raised, “I’m Chu Xun’s groomsman. It is a reward for you on behalf of Chu Xun. You don’t have to thank me.”

Seeing Chu Xun’s reaction, Diao Xingyi was so angry that he knew that it was not what he meant at all.

“I’m grateful to your grandpa, you ruffian.” Diao Xingyi flipped his hand and took out a bunch of spiritual herbs twice as many as Flaming Qilin’s herbs. He threw it at Flaming Qilin and said, “this is a reward for you on behalf of Brother Chu.”

“Hah... How dare you? Do you want to compare wealth with me?” Flaming Qilin quickly opened the case and picked up two bunches of spiritual herbs, and threw them towards Diao Xingyi.

Unwilling to be outdone, Diao Xingyi threw even more at him.

The two of them threw herbs at each other more and more. Neither was willing to back down.

“Bumpkin, you want to show me your wealth. Even a hair of mine is thicker than your waist,” he said as he threw a bunch of mid-grade spiritual herbs at Flaming Qilin.

Flaming Qilin returned more mid-grade spiritual herbs to him.

“Old man, don’t struggle. It’s not easy for you to accumulate some resources in your life. Don’t try to be big-headed here anymore,” Flaming Qilin said proudly.

“Bumpkin, I’m afraid you don’t know that veterans are abler than recruits.”

The two of them began to fight each other with spiritual herbs.

Chu Xun surreptitiously showed Yue Jingchou a quick look.

Yue Jingchou quickly got the message and secretly collected all the spiritual herbs on the ground.
