What should have been a joyous occasion has turned into an awkward and tense affair, with many uneasy eyes fixed on Qin Chuan and the Wenren family.
Qin Chuan has utterly humiliated the Wenren family, and to regain that honor, they must defeat him.
However, Wenren Yun Chui has already made his move, and while it wasn't his strongest attack, a mere exchange between experts reveals their relative strengths.
Wenren Yun Chui realizes he lacks the confidence to defeat Qin Chuan, unable to overcome a young man, especially one he previously considered the strongest in this world.
Now, he feels deeply troubled, as Qin Chuan's potential far surpasses his own. To regain face today would involve immense danger.
As the patriarch of the Wenren family and a Celestial Emperor, Wenren Yun Chui understands many things clearly.
He knows he cannot afford to take risks today. Sometimes, for a family, especially a large one, suffering a loss or even losing face is insignificant.
Because without losing face, the family is doomed; in matters of survival, everything else must give way.
Wenren Yunchui smiled, "Mr. Qin is truly young and promising. Since Mr. Qin doesn't approve of my daughter, then I won't force it."
Was this a show of weakness, or a gesture of goodwill?
Many around were utterly shocked. Who was Wenren Yunchui? The head of the Wenren family, a powerful Immortal Emperor, from a family with two Immortal Emperors. The next generation, Wenren Tingfeng, was already a half-step Immortal Emperor, with a high probability of entering the Immortal Emperor realm.
Such a powerful family actually bowed down before a young man at the half-step Immortal Emperor level. Many people didn't understand, after all, a half-step Immortal Emperor wasn't an Immortal Emperor.
This half-step could keep 99% of half-step Immortal Emperors from ever entering the Immortal Emperor realm.
Qin Chuan smiled, "I already have a wife. Your daughter is incredibly beautiful. It can only be said that we are not destined for each other."
After a few polite words, the wedding continued. However, the young master Wenren was still dazed. His face had recovered, which wasn't a big deal for a powerful person.
But he had been slapped by Qin Chuan, slapped in front of so many people, and in the end, he could only let it go like this, with the Wenren family even having to speak well of him.
How humiliating!
Wenren Tingfeng had never felt so humiliated. He had never suffered such disgrace before. The first time he had been slapped was at his own wedding, in front of all his family, friends, and prominent figures in the martial arts world.
This was a huge loss of face. Even if he were a genius, a half-step Immortal Emperor, he couldn't bear to think about how he felt inside. The more he thought about it, the more painful it became, a feeling of suffocation.
He felt that if this continued, he would eventually be crushed, he would collapse. He couldn't overcome this
mental hurdle. Defeating him, even killing him, was the only way to untie this knot in his heart.
But he knew that defeating him was incredibly difficult, almost like climbing to heaven for a man. He simply didn't have the courage. Qin Chuan was like an insurmountable mountain blocking his path.
...
Young Master Long was originally the most humiliated one, but now many people felt that Wenren Tingfeng was no better off, even more humiliating in many people's eyes.
However, they didn't know that Young Master Long was no longer the same Young Master Long. What he had done before was now insignificant to him.
However, the resentment in his heart did not lessen, but rather intensified, because he now possessed the right to revenge, but he needed time.
He remembered his hatred for the Wen family and for Qin Chuan, but for now, he needed to endure.
He simply didn't know that Qin Chuan had already seen everything.
What was initially a tense moment, even escalating to physical violence, ultimately passed peacefully, with everyone still laughing and chatting as the wedding proceeded.
But afterward, rumors spread like wildfire, naturally about how cowardly the Wen family was, how pathetic Wenren Tingfeng was, and how the Wen family's young lady was rejected.
And of course, there was also the story of Young Master Long, whose engagement was annulled. What was originally a shameful event for Young Master Long had been diverted, resulting in less gossip about him.
With everything settled, Qin Chuan planned to take his junior sister back home, and also visit his parents.
His junior sister hesitated about whether to bring her son along, but Qin Chuan didn't actually want Young Master Long to go back.
Young Master Long was, after all, a threat. If he knew where his parents were, it wouldn't be good; it would make Qin Chuan uneasy.
Junior Sister, being a Celestial Emperor martial artist, naturally considered many things. Although she couldn't know for sure, she knew one thing: Qin Chuan didn't like her son.
"Mother, I won't go. You and Uncle-Master go together!" Young Master Long said calmly.
He had no real connection to Junior Sister's master; he only felt a connection to his father, and even this mother held only a slight connection.
Junior Sister nodded. She felt this was for the best, but how could she leave him alone?
"I'm worried about you being here alone," Junior Sister said worriedly, looking at Young Master Long. Young
Master Long was slightly taken aback.
This was his mother. Although she hadn't raised him, there were reasons for it, and at least she had given him life. Now he could sense that his mother didn't not love him; she had been forced into difficult circumstances before, and he couldn't blame her. She was a good mother.
"Mother, don't worry, I can protect myself now," Young Master Long smiled.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Even if he were to face Wenren Yunchui now, he could still save his life."
The Death Demon inheritance is terrifying. Before it matures, its ability to survive is indescribably terrifying, which is why this inheritance is so formidable. It
's terrifying when it matures, and its ability to survive before it matures is terrifying.
The junior sister paused slightly, nodded, and reached out to rub Long Dashao's head: "Take care of yourself. I'll be back soon. You're my child."
Long Dashao bowed slightly: "Yes, Mother, please take care too. I'll wait for you to come back here."
The junior sister smiled and left with Qin Chuan.
Qin King City!
The Qin Family!
This is Qin Chuan's father's family, and also Qin Chuan's family. Two lifetimes, yet Qin Chuan didn't feel awkward.
Actually, Qin Lang and Shenhuang were his parents in his previous life, while Qin Feng and Helian Wu were his parents in this life.
But all of this wasn't contradictory. It's said that powerful individuals can have many identities and avatars when they reach a certain level, and can even travel between several worlds, but Qin Chuan finds it hard to understand now.
But he is no longer conflicted. His two lives have completely overlapped. He almost split apart because of these two identities, but in the end they merged into one. Everything fell into place naturally, and he has achieved a state of complete peace of mind, reaching a new level.
He is Qin Chuan. Both families are his families, but many things are inexplicable, so he can only ensure that his two families do not intersect.
