Chapter 149 You stinky tiger, why are you only arriving now?
Xu Tianyi never expected that the Shen family could arrange things like this in just one night.
Clearly, they put in a lot of hard work, which also fully demonstrated the Shen family's wealth and influence.
This made him value Shen Miao to the extreme.
He had just learned that most of the Shen family's technologies were actually from a thousand years ago.
It's easy to imagine how exceptionally talented Shen Mengqi must have been back then.
Moreover, the background story has been clearly explained: Shen Mengqi obtained the Immortal Mask, so many things can be understood.
Why is it that the Hidden Clan, despite their immense power, has not come to rule or control the Wuji Empire for thousands of years?
Also, why are there so few Hidden Clan members in the background story?
Especially the teachings of enlightenment.
Why does the Yuanjiao have Wanxiang, the Tongjiao have Nüxin, but the Juejiao only has Tianhai as its successor?
What about the other hidden tribesmen?
They lived long lives; all things survived for over a thousand years, and Nüxin's age may have exceeded 1,500 years.
There's no reason why they shouldn't have survived; even with a low birth rate, the mortality rate should also be low.
The only possibility is that back then, Emperor Jiling joined forces with the Hidden Clan's Tongjiao to launch a war against the Hidden Clan's Juejiao and Yuanjiao!
The final outcome was naturally the destruction of the Juejiao sect, the great loss of the Yuanjiao sect, and the few remaining members of the Tongjiao sect were imprisoned by Wanxiang.
The Grand Preceptor of Emperor Jiling was surnamed Wu, and was very likely Wuchen's ancestor, a powerful array master.
Wuchen's mother also had the surname Wu, so it's hard to say whether Wuchen's mother or father was a member of the Hidden Clan.
The more Xu Tianyi thought about it, the more he felt that history was too complicated, and that too many records had been destroyed, resulting in the burial of the past.
However, it can still be inferred that the human race is also very strong.
Especially... the royal family!
Xu Tianyi couldn't help but guess that in the game's CG, Ning Hongye ultimately defeated Tianhai and seized the Mandate of Heaven.
Simply put, she succeeded in either saving or destroying the world.
Possessing both the bloodline of extreme Yin and the bloodline of the Emperor, she is capable of surpassing even Yi in his time.
Gu Qinghan is not as good as her, nor is Wei Qing.
"What are you looking at me for! Are you still going to marry me or not!"
Ning Hongye glared at him. What are you daydreaming about at a time like this! (She's taken off her blindfold.)
Xu Tianyi gave an awkward smile, wondering what he had been thinking about on the day of his engagement.
"I'm so sorry, Miaomiao..."
Shen Miao chuckled: "Hurry up, I've been repairing the iron guard all night and I'm too tired to talk..."
She wore a silver-trimmed veil to cover her eyes, not wanting to reveal her dark circles...
Gu Qinghan smiled and immediately took her left hand: "Alright, alright, you can get some rest now..."
She, Ning Hongye, and Ji Yingying all wore a gorgeous bright red wedding dress.
According to local custom, the matriarch brings her concubine into the room; this is called "leading the ceremony," signifying approval.
After taking a step forward, Shen Miao impatiently raised her right hand. Xu Tianyi needed to hold her right hand to signify that the ceremony was complete.
However, just as he was about to take her hand, a loud shout came from below:
"Grandpa, I don't agree to this marriage!!"
Xu Tianyi was shocked. "Hey buddy, why are you here at this hour?"
Do you think you're the male protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel?
Yue Shan couldn't help but straighten up and look ahead, a sudden pang of guilt rising in his heart.
Shen Miao released Gu Qinghan's hand and lifted her silver veil to look at herself. Her body was slightly excited and trembling.
Shen Haisheng realized something was wrong and roared angrily, "You scoundrel, how dare you disrupt my Shen family's wedding!!"
The rest of the Shen family were also furious. All the Iron Guards aimed their cannons at the source of the sound, and at the same time, the three black cannons began to move their muzzles.
The creaking and roaring sounds, combined with the uproar from the crowd, created a chaotic scene.
Hu Wei had already overturned the dining table and was holding the nunchucks—the Tiger Swing—that Shen Miao had given him.
He looked directly at Shen Miao, his eyes revealing joy and anticipation.
Shen Miao's performance just now completely confirmed his guess in his mind.
She was definitely forced!
She... is waiting for me!!
Their eyes met instantly, and tears welled up in Shen Miao's eyes as she murmured, "You stinky tiger... why did you take so long to come..."
Xu Tianyi wasn't so worried. If that was all he wanted, he would be ridiculous to think he could take Shen Miao away. Today, he would make them sever their bond completely.
"Xu Tianyi!! What are you standing there for?!"
Gu Qinghan was worried for him.
Ning Hongye behind him scoffed, "He stole your woman and you're still standing there in a daze? You're so useless! I'm going to kill him..."
Xu Tianyi reached out and stopped her: "It's alright. It would be unfair to Miaomiao if we attacked him now. I don't like to force others to be with me."
Ning Hongye fell silent and slowly took a step back.
Gu Qinghan looked at him with satisfaction.
Ji Yingying muttered under her breath, "The Monarch-Minister Gu is still inside you..."
. . . .
"My dear son-in-law, this matter was handled poorly by the Shen family. You and Miaomiao should..."
Shen Lang stepped forward to apologize, but Xu Tianyi immediately interrupted him.
“Father-in-law, there’s no need for that. Let him come up here. I’ll handle it. I’m sure Miaomiao won’t go with him…”
Shen Lang glanced at Xu Tianyi, then his gaze fell on Shen Miao.
He nodded when he saw that she didn't jump out.
"My dear son-in-law, I'm sorry..."
"It's alright, Grandpa Shen, Father-in-law, let him come up..."
Xu Tianyi's expression was calm and confident.
Shen Miao wanted to jump out the moment she saw Hu Wei, that's just her personality, but Xu Tianyi forcibly held her in place with his domain.
Clearly, he was bragging.
Shen Miao is a rather impulsive person; once she gets impulsive, she will disregard everything else.
If he were to let her fall into Hu Wei's arms, Xu Tianyi was certain that all her previous complaints and dissatisfaction would vanish.
Even if Hu Wei was no good or suitable, he still appeared, just when she was about to give up.
This extreme emotional reaction will absolutely make the relationship between the two people unbreakable.
Having witnessed the craftsmanship of the Shen family, Xu Tianyi absolutely could not allow himself to lose such a powerful ally as the Shen family. Of course, he would also never give up on the adorable Shen Miao.
Unbeknownst to him, a powerful ambition and possessiveness filled his heart.
Along the way, he transformed from a martial artist who wanted to roam the world and uphold justice into a warlord who wanted to change the world.
He wants power, fame, and beautiful women—he wants them all!
As he nodded, Shen Haisheng hesitated for a moment and then waved back.
All the guards began to retract the cannons, and all the servants and soldiers also lowered their guard. The three cannons slowly retracted.
"Come on up..."
