Hongluan Town, Jia Family.
As one of the most powerful families in Hong Luan Town, the Jia Family did not rise for a long time. However, as soon as this family rose to power, they purchased many properties in Hong Luan Town and established their position as the number one family in Hong Luan Town.
The Jia Family's business involved many projects such as weapons, spiritual herbs, banks, and so on. No matter which major project they were in, they had basically become the top one in Hongluan town. Now, the Jia Family had given birth to a genius like Jia Pingzheng. The Jia Family's status in Hongluan town was bound to be even harder to shake.

The Jia Family's mansion occupied an area of more than a thousand acres. The number one family in this remote town was the local emperor of Hongluan Town. The mansion was as luxurious as the inside of the imperial palace. It was divided into two parts, the inner mansion and the outer mansion. The inner mansion was the residence of the core members of the Jia Family, and the outer mansion was the residence of the servants of the Jia Family and some of the masters recruited by the Jia Family.
On this day, the whole Jia's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The vermilion carpet covered the whole mansion and even extended more than ten miles away from the Jia's Mansion. That kind of generous look was really admirable.
In the entire outer mansion of the Jia Family, there were no less than a thousand wooden tables and pear trees. At this moment, all the famous people in Hongluan Town gathered here to congratulate Jia Ping, the Second Young Master of the Jia Family, on marrying Lin Yue'er, the First Miss of the Lin Family.
In the middle of the day, the sound of drums and firecrackers was heard outside the Jia's mansion. A mighty procession of wedding procession, escorted by countless civilians, slowly came to the gate of the Jia's mansion.
A large family like the Jia family would throw out money from time to time in order to increase the luck, to avoid evil and drive away evil. The money that could be given out could be used by anyone, so that the whole wedding procession was wrapped in layers of ordinary people. Every ordinary person had a happy smile on their faces, as if they sincerely wished for a couple of newcomers.
In front of the Jia family gate, the core members of the Jia family had been waiting in line. The leader was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face. It was Jia Hongsheng, the master of the Jia family.

Jia Hansheng looked like he was only in his forties, and he had no extraordinary appearance. It would be hard for ordinary people to leave a deep impression on him. But those who were really good at observation would find that the patriarch of the Jia family had a calm aura and his eyes were like torches. He was definitely a hidden master.
Beside Jia Tide, several old masters of the Jia family were in the queue. Jia Tide was the third son of the Jia family of this generation. He had two elder brothers above him, and two younger brothers below him. Each of them was in charge of one of the properties of the Jia family. They were all very capable.
Behind him were the younger generation of the Jia family. The Jia family was very prosperous. Just Jia Hongsheng himself had four sons and one daughter, and the others were no worse than him. Today was a big day, and these younger generation were all present, which gave enough face to the Lin family.
The wedding procession came to a stop in front of the Jia mansion. At the forefront of the procession, Jia Ping, the Second Young Master of the Jia family, was riding a red horse. He wore a big red robe and a big red flower on his chest. He was full of joy.

After getting off the horse, Jia Ping walked up to Jia Chaosheng in a few steps. "I pay my respects to father. Father, I've brought Yue'er back."
Today, Jia Pingzheng was in high spirits. In addition to the fact that he was a sixth level true qi practitioner, his words were firm and resolute. Apart from anything else, just his temperament alone was something that no one in the younger generation of Hong Luan town could match.
"Okay."
Jia Chao Sheng smiled slightly. He did not say much. However, just the word 'good' was sufficient to express his feelings at this moment.
Glancing at the bridal sedan chair behind Jia Pingzheng, Jia Chaosheng immediately looked to the side of the bridal sedan chair. At that place, Lin Wei, the head of the Lin Family, just came down from his horse with the rest of the Lin Family.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin, I've been waiting for you for a long time." With a loud laugh, Jia Hongsheng swung his sleeves and personally led the Jia Family members to greet him.
The marriage between the Jia Family and the Lin Family was not as simple as marriage. What Jia Tidesheng cared about was definitely not Lin Yue'er herself.
"Hahaha, we're already a family. Why do you have to be so polite, Brother Jia?"
Lin Wei led the Lin Family members and gathered with the Jia Family members in a few steps. Everyone had business dealings with each other, so they were not strangers to each other. At this moment, when they met and greeted each other, the atmosphere was quite peaceful.
"That's right. From now on, the Lin Family and the Jia Family will be one family. You and I will work together to strengthen the two great clans."
Jia Chaosheng took Lin Wei's hand enthusiastically, as if he was telling him that they were as close as brothers from now on.
"Hahaha, it's all up to Brother Jia." Lin Wei let out a long laugh. At this moment, he had put on a low profile. It should be known that the strength of the Lin Family was not as good as that of the Jia Family. Now that they had the status of Jia Pingchao, they would be even more difficult to deal with in the future. If the Lin Family wanted to develop, they had to rely on the Jia Family.
"Father, father-in-law, you'd better talk in the mansion. Yue'er is still in the sedan chair!"
At this time, Jia Ping suddenly stood up and interrupted the greetings between the two patriarchs.
Although Jia Pingzheng was a junior, today was his wedding. In addition, his identity was no longer what it used to be. Even if it was Jia Chaosheng and Lin Wei, they would probably have something to rely on in the future. Therefore, no one would say anything when he stood up!
"That's right, that's right. Brother Lin, please come in and introduce the three honored guests to us."
Jia Chaosheng acted as if he had suddenly realized something. As he spoke, he raised his hand and invited everyone from the Lin family into the mansion.
"Oh? There's still an honored guest?" Lin Wei raised his eyebrows. He did not hesitate. "Brother Jia, this way please!"
As they spoke, the group of people walked directly into the depths of the Jia Mansion. Jia Pingzheng waved his hand to the left and right. Immediately, the members of the Jia Family, who had been prepared for a long time, began to welcome the newcomers to get off the sedan chair according to etiquette.
In this world where martial arts was the most respected, etiquette became less and less valued. The marriage of an ordinary family would probably not even have the most basic ceremony. However, as the number one family in Hongluan Town, the Jia Family would naturally not be like an ordinary family.
Several beautiful maids carried all kinds of items and sprinkled them down along the red carpet on both sides of the bridal sedan chair. Among them, there were grains, coins, and several young male servants with braziers in their hands. They lined up along the red carpet in two rows. Although it was daytime, the fire in the brazier was bright red. It turned out to be the precious red rose charcoal.
The crowd busied themselves for a full quarter of an hour. An old woman held a special branch and handed it to Jia Pingzheng.
Jia Pingzheng was obviously prepared in advance. He took the branch and went straight to the bridal sedan chair.
"Yue'er, get out of the sedan chair."
Gently lifting the curtain of the sedan chair, Jia Ping tried his best to be gentle as he called out softly.
In the bridal sedan chair, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yue'er, was dressed in a red dress with a red veil on her head. She sat there quietly, with her personal maid, Lian'er, serving her carefully.
Because she was covered with a red veil, Lin Yue'er's expression couldn't be seen. On the other hand, Lian'er, who was beside her, had a sad face and didn't look happy at all.
"Miss..."
The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, but Lin Yue'er did not move. Seeing this, Lian'er, who was beside her, softly reminded her.
Lin Yue'er's body trembled slightly, but in the end, she still reached out her hand. With the help of Lian'er, she slowly stood up and resolutely left the bridal sedan chair.
At this point, she had no way back.
"He's out. He's out."
"Tsk tsk, she is indeed worthy of being the number one beauty in our Hong Luan Town. Just her temperament alone is enough to make one intoxicated."
"Look, look at her waist and body. She is simply a beauty in the human world!"
"I'm so envious that you married such a charming wife. Alas, if the one in my family can catch up with Yue'er, I'll be satisfied even at the cost of my life."
"Humph, compared with Miss Yue'er, your mother tiger is really talented."
"All right, all right, get out of the way. If you don't want to see it, I want to see it."
When Lin Yue'er got out of the bridal sedan chair, the crowd suddenly boiled. Although there was a red veil blocking the way, Lin Yue'er's temperament was unparalleled. What's more, the red veil was slightly transparent, and people could vaguely see Lin Yue'er's peerless appearance. The faint beauty made Lin Yue'er more mysterious and otherworldly.
"Hahaha, music!"
When Lin Yue'er got out of the bridal sedan chair, Jia Pingzheng waved his hand, and the musicians immediately changed the music, which added a sense of joy to the whole mansion of the Jia family.
"Yue'er, let's go!"
Giving the branch in his hand to the left and right, Jia Pingzheng was about to pull Lin Yue'er's hand.
"Humph."
Before Jia Ping could even touch her, Lin Yue'er gave a low snort and took the lead in walking into the mansion.
"This..."
Jia Pingzheng's expression couldn't help but become a little awkward. A fierce light suddenly flashed through his eyes.
"Humph, if you marry into my Jia Family, I have plenty of ways to teach you." He was not angry. As long as he married Lin Yue'er, he would let her serve him obediently sooner or later, but he was not in a hurry.
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and followed Lin Yue'er to the mansion...
When Jia Ping and Lin Yue'er entered the mansion, Jia Hongsheng, the head of the Jia Family, and Lin Wei, the head of the Lin Family, had already arrived in the hall first.
The hall of the Jia family was spacious and bright, and the ceiling was inlaid with Moonlight Stones. It was extremely extravagant.
At this moment, there were only ten tables of banquet in the hall. Each table was occupied by people with real status and status in Hongluan Town. In the hall, a special table was placed in the center. Obviously, it was the main table of the two heads of the Jia Family and the Lin Family. At this moment, there were already three special guests on the main table.
Obviously, these three people were not the same as the others. The one in the middle was a young man who was less than 30 years old, and there were two young men in their twenties around him. They looked down, especially the young man in the middle. The arrogance between his eyebrows was as if he did not take the whole world seriously.
While tasting the wine and food, the three of them chatted with each other from time to time. At this moment, Jia Hongsheng, the master of the Jia family, came over with Lin Wei and the others.
"Hahaha, three distinguished guests, I'm sorry that I didn't treat you well in the wild. Please forgive me."
Jia Hong Sheng cupped his hands toward the three of them when he arrived at the table. His face was apologetic as he spoke. His tone did not appear to be something that the clan head of a large clan should have.
"It doesn't matter. I am tired of the delicacies of the mountains and the seas. Occasionally, it would be fresh to eat some coarse tea." The young man waved his hand and spoke in a neither cold nor warm manner.
"Ah, this..." Jia Hong Sheng's expression was dull. However, he did not expect the other party to say such words. He was merely trying to be polite. Who would have thought that the other party would actually not give him face. It should be known that the banquet of the Jia clan was all something that was purchased from the Lightning Cloud Mansion. How could a simple meal or tea compare with it?
However, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend the three people in front of him, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
"Brother Lin, let me introduce them to you. These three honored guests are experts from the Thunder Cloud Academy. This is Deacon Jiang Wu from the Thunder Cloud Academy. These two are the Inner Academy disciples of the Thunder Cloud Academy, Jiang Shan and Lei Ming. Brother Lin, quickly greet them."
What kind of person was Jia Hong Sheng? Naturally, he would not act strangely because of the other party's words. A couple of words would resolve his embarrassment.
"Hm? The administrator of the Thundercloud Academy?"
When Lin Wei entered the hall, he saw the three people on the main table. At this moment, when he heard Jia Chaosheng's introduction, his face couldn't help but change. His originally straight waist suddenly bent a little.
"Lin Wei from the mountains, it's my honor to meet you." As he spoke, he bowed to the ground and made a big bow.
The identity of the administrator of the Thundercloud Academy was quite impressive. The academy was divided into the Inner Academy and the Outer Academy. The cultivation of the Outer Academy disciples was from the seventh level of the true qi realm to the ninth level of the true qi realm. The Inner Academy disciples were the geniuses who had advanced to the true essence realm. As for the administrator, he was an expert who had already surpassed the identity of a disciple and could take charge of a portion of the academy's affairs independently.
The few elders of the Thunder Cloud Academy were very busy with their affairs, so they selected a few talented people from the disciples of the Inner Academy to train and share some things. This was the origin of the administrator of the Thunder Cloud Academy. In other words, there was an elder behind every deacon of the Thunder Cloud Academy.
As for Thunder Cloud Academy's elders, they were all super Yuan Dan stage practitioners. In the eyes of those people, the Jia and Lin Families were merely ants that could be easily crushed to death.
"Well, you don't have to be so polite. Take a seat!"
Jiang Wu didn't move his eyelids. When he saw Lin Wei salute, he just waved his hand casually, as if everything here was up to him.
However, regardless of whether it was Lin Wei or Jia Chaosheng, neither of them dared to show any dissatisfaction and obediently sat down.
"The two of you, if there's any ceremony, let's begin now. When a pair of newcomers form a tie, I will return to the Thunder Cloud Academy to report on my mission."
This time, they brought the academy's order to break the rules and enter the academy to recruit Jia Pingzheng. Originally, they wanted to return immediately after the mission was completed. It was Jia Hongsheng who had paid a huge price to keep the three of them here to support today's occasion. One had to know that the Leiyun Academy's administrator personally presided over the wedding banquet was not a treatment that an ordinary family could enjoy. In the future, if it were to be spread out, it would also be a matter of face.
"Please calm down, Master Deacon. My son and Yue'er will be here soon. I'm sorry that I've neglected you. I'd like to propose a toast to you first. I'll take it as an apology."
Jia Chaosheng was careful everywhere. While speaking, he personally filled the cups for Jiang Wu, Jiang Shan, and Lei Ming. In the end, he poured another cup for himself, for fear that the other party would wait impatiently.
Lin Wei followed suit at this time, and the rest of the people followed suit. They drank one cup after another, and the flattery came one after another, which made the three of them very happy.
"The newcomers have arrived!!!"
At this moment, the emcee of the wedding banquet suddenly shouted. Before his voice died away, Jia Ping and Lin Yue'er had already arrived in the hall and appeared in front of everyone.
