The appearance of Chen Chang'an instantly drew everyone's attention—there was no helping it, he was simply too flashy and eye-catching.
"Brother, may I ask who you are?"
"Do you have an invitation?"
A disciple of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect stopped Chen Chang'an, inquiring whether he had an invitation.
An invitation?
Chen Chang'an smiled and nodded, then pulled out an invitation and handed it over.
The disciple glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed one of their issued invitations. With a smile, he said, "I truly didn’t expect the elder of the Beiyuan Immortal Sect to be so young."
"Please, come in."
"Alright!"
As for the invitation, it was nothing more than one Chen Chang'an had casually snatched along the way.
Once inside the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, Chen Chang'an headed straight for the wedding venue.
"Big bro, why not wait until the critical moment to make a sudden appearance?"
"Wouldn’t that be even more impressive?" Da Huang asked curiously.
"No need."
"That would just take away from the fun."
"Let’s enjoy the show first. I’m curious to see just how capable this impostor really is," Chen Chang'an replied with a faint smile.
"Fine, then where should we sit?"
"We can’t actually sit with the Beiyuan Immortal Sect, or we’ll be recognized."
"Just find a random spot to watch from."
"Got it."
Chen Chang'an found a secluded corner and sat down quietly, waiting for the wedding to begin.
Before long, the patriarch and sect leader of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect appeared before the crowd, and all the guests immediately stood to greet them.
In the past, these two might not have commanded such respect, but times had changed—the Hunyuan Immortal Sect had now latched onto Chen Chang'an’s coattails. Who would dare show them any disrespect?
Seeing this, the patriarch and sect leader were overjoyed—this kind of treatment was finally theirs.
"We sincerely thank all of you for gracing us with your presence today on this momentous occasion for our Hunyuan Immortal Sect."
"Here, I, Wen, express my deepest gratitude."
Hearing this, the guests quickly responded, "Patriarch Wen, you’re too kind. It’s our honor to attend such an event."
"Indeed, it’s truly our honor. To be honest, we’re quite envious. Who would’ve thought that Miss Wen would find such a perfect match in Chen Chang'an?"
"Hahaha, congratulations indeed!"
"Congratulations, Patriarch Wen! Double happiness!"
"By the way, where are Miss Wen and Young Master Chen? Why haven’t the bride and groom appeared yet?"
At these words, the expressions of the patriarch and sect leader flickered slightly, though they quickly regained their composure.
Neither of them had expected Chen Chang'an to be so unreliable.
Couldn’t he hold back even on his wedding day? Did he really have to indulge in a romp at a time like this?
"Hahaha!"
"Well, it is a joyous occasion, and the newlyweds must be feeling a bit nervous."
"Besides, their love is at its peak right now—it’s only natural they’d want to share some private words."
"Don’t worry, everyone, they’ll be here shortly."
"Today, we’ve prepared a lavish feast for all of you."
"As cultivators, we don’t stand on ceremony too much."
"Please, eat and drink to your heart’s content."
"Enjoy yourselves!"
Though the guests found this explanation a bit odd, they didn’t voice any objections.
After all, as cultivators, they weren’t overly concerned with formalities.
If the hosts said so, then there was no need to hold back.
"Big bro, should we… grab some food first?" Da Huang eyed the spread on the table, unable to resist licking his lips.
"Didn’t you pack enough stuff earlier? Still not satisfied?"
"Why are you so greedy?"
"Speaking of which, where did Yi Tuo and Little Earthworm go?"
"Why have they been missing since earlier?"
Hearing this, Da Huang grinned and said, "I gave them an important mission."
"They’re the perfect ones for the job."
An important mission?
What mischief were these three up to now?
Just as Chen Chang'an was about to ask, Yi Tuo returned first.
"Big bro, holy smokes, those two are really going at it."
"The scene—whew, I can’t even find the words to describe it."
"Bloody intense," Yi Tuo exaggerated.
Bloody intense?
What happened? Did they start fighting?
"You mean, right before the wedding, those two… got busy?"
"Yi Tuo, how do you even know about this stuff?"
"What exactly did you do at the brothel?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
"Big bro, what could I do? I’m just a turtle."
"Back in the Chiyue Secret Realm, I absorbed a lot of souls, and those memories came from them."
"Tsk tsk, gotta say, it’s pretty thrilling—just not really relevant to me."
"Big bro, do you think someone like me can ever find happiness?"
Yi Tuo’s sudden existential question left Chen Chang'an stunned. Happiness?
You’re a damn energy entity—what do you need happiness for?
Where am I supposed to find another one like you for you to fall in love with?
"So you just sent it to eavesdrop?" Chen Chang'an gave Da Huang a helpless look.
"Of course not."
"Yi Tuo, show him."
"On it!"
Seeing the mischievous grins on their faces, Chen Chang'an grew intrigued. Were they preparing some kind of surprise gift for him?
Chen Chang'an wasn’t entirely sure what other special abilities Yi Tuo had.
But soon, he found out.
And not just him—everyone present found out.
"Chang'an gege, you… slow down."
"Chang'an gege, you’re so amazing."
"Chang'an gege…"
Wen Xiuxiu’s voice echoed in the ears of everyone present, turning the faces of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect members green while the other guests wore expressions of sheer astonishment.
"Outrageous!"
"Who dares cause trouble at such an important event for our Hunyuan Immortal Sect?"
"Who is it?"
"Trying to ruin our Xiuxiu’s reputation?"
"And slander Chen Chang'an’s name?"
"Show yourself! Don’t hide like a coward!"
The patriarch of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect reacted swiftly, framing the incident as a deliberate act of sabotage by someone seeking revenge.
The other guests weren’t entirely sure what the two had been up to, but hearing this explanation, they found it somewhat plausible.
"What audacity!"
"Daring to stir trouble at the Hunyuan Immortal Sect?"
"Could it be an enemy of Chen Chang'an?"
"Chen Chang'an doesn’t have enemies. More likely, someone is jealous of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect and wants to tarnish the reputations of Chen Chang'an and Wen Xiuxiu at such a crucial moment."
"Exactly, that must be it."
"How despicable! Who could be behind this?"
The crowd glared around furiously, especially the members of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, who were itching to find the culprit.
"Da Huang, I like this gift of yours."
"Got anything even more explosive?" Chen Chang'an asked with a grin.
"Big bro, trust me—of course I do."
"The real show has only just begun!"
"Yi Tuo, keep strutting your stuff!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
