Sword Among Us c1-1268

*****

  Before the carriage drew close to the bank, it stopped. Many of the players who were waiting over there suddenly sensed something, and a thought popped up in their heads. They turned their heads to look at the depths of Lake Tai. They could hear vague zither notes coming from it. It sounded like a proper piece, and it came from a layer of fog, which was located at the depths of Lake Tai.

  The zither notes were mixed with sounds that made it something was coming toward them courageously.

  When they heard this, a lot of people instantly became alert.

  They originally thought that they would need to wait for a while before they could enter Mantuo Villa even when the parade was already facing Lake Tai, but now, they finally obtained their answer.

  Two fast sailing sh.i.p.s tied with two red silk clothes shot out of the thin layer of fog, and tied on the bows of the sh.i.p.s were the large Chinese characters , which meant double happiness.

  Then, dozens of other fast sailing sh.i.p.s shot out.

  Soon, more than one hundred sh.i.p.s filled the lake.

  And in the blink of an eye, hundreds of sh.i.p.s charged out of the thin layer of fog in Lake Tai. They were originally vague, but they soon became clear, and they moved so quickly that they were like speedboats.

  Many pairs of eyes at the bank could not help but be dumbfounded when they saw this impressive and spectacular scene.

  Those people who had been talking about how there was no music also shut up, because there were three musicians on each of the hundreds of sh.i.p.s who led the other sh.i.p.s.

  Zither sounds filled the air, and they were accompanied by other instruments. They instantly decorated the quiet Lake Tai until it looked like a lake of music. The happy music elegant traveled leisurely on Lake Tai. When the sh.i.p.s drew close to the lake, they harmoniously welcomed the parade who came from afar.

  The sh.i.p.s changed formation when they drew close to the shore.

  All the sh.i.p.s with musicians on them moved to the sides and formed two independent camps to keep a distance from the bank.

  A large fleet of sh.i.p.s sailed forward from behind. By now, there were already at least one thousand sh.i.p.s that entered the people's sights.

  They formed groups, and each group had six sh.i.p.s forming a line.

  They were neat and orderly, and they appeared in a manner as if they only wanted to appear after the people started complaining about how it was impossible for Mu Clan to not delay the wedding.

  Two Mu Clan members could be found on each ship.

  They then used two hidden weapons which were usually used in battle to quietly fix the sh.i.p.s in place with hidden force.

  A path which was wider than sixty-five feet was fixed between the sh.i.p.s by the bank.

  The sh.i.p.s behind also quickly fixed themselves in place in this manner. Then, they used ropes which they had prepared beforehand to catch the sh.i.p.s in front of them.

  In a flash, a delightful red carpet connected with red silk was swiftly formed on Lake Tai in a fantastic manner before everyone's eyes.

  The red carpet was, of course, made up of these countless red sh.i.p.s connected together. They spread out into Lake Tai in a steady fashion before the carriage and countless players.

  Wind Chimes had left the parade at some point of time, and she personally led the large group of zither players by the sides of the red carpet made of sh.i.p.s to play a joyous tune that was as smooth as the water running down from mountains.

  When they saw this scene, many of the players by the bank were full of excitement, and warmth filled their hearts.

  It was no wonder why the Mu Clan members had repeatedly stressed that the wedding would not be delayed.

  'So, aside from the ten-thousand man parade, Mu Clan had also mobilized a large amount of manpower to spontaneously create a red carpet on the water. They actually managed to instantly lay out a path on the water that leads to Mantuo Villa!'

  "Who designed this…?"

  "Whoever it is, he or she is a genius."

  "Whew."

  "Do you see the zither players by the sides. I think the person in the lead is Demonic Sound Duchess."

  "The one leading the xiao players seems like Eastern Heretic's disciple."

  Countless players discussed this matter by the bank, and their voices soon caused the people at the bank to notice the situation at the bank. The crowd was rife with excitement, and the atmosphere quickly became lively. If it were not for the fact that there were a lot of Mu Clan members and a lot of people from the other three sects in the four great sects around to maintain order in the crowd, these people might have already been unable to hold themselves back from running to the bank to admire this glorious scene.

  "Who came up with this plan?"

  "Phoenix Dances and the girls in the University of South China used a total of 63,679 sh.i.p.s. Well, boss? We didn't embarrass you, right?"

  Little North took up the role of the carriage's coachman on short notice. Since he was dressed in red as well, he looked high in spirits, and he also giggled at Happy with a smug look on his face.

  "...Draw all the money required in this event from my contribution points. Also, convert all the time you spent in this into contribution points, and make it double. I can't let all of you waste your time and money for me." Happy did not know what sort of expression he should have at that moment. But with so many people watching, he could only maintain a faint, stiff smile on his face while he "viciously" sent a private message to Little North.

  "Hehe." Little North, of course, knew that Happy was actually very pleased with what he saw. He turned his head around and cracked the whip, and the carriage slowly moved on the red carpet.

  The petal shower followed.

  Beneath their feet were sh.i.p.s that moved up and down because of buoyancy. In the air was the rather damp fog from the lake and petal shower that was filled with an elegant fragrance, along with pleasant music that filled Lake Tai.

  This scene caused Happy and Xu Xin to feel as if they had fallen into the world of immortals, and they felt as if they were moving on clouds.

  As the carriage slowly moved on the red carpet, the parade stayed at the sides of the red carpet to sandwich the path so that they could welcome the numerous excited players who came from everywhere to attend the wedding.

  But when these excited people walked on the red carpet, they were no longer as relaxed as before once they came face to face with the dignified, stern, luxurious, and grand parade. They did not want to joke around either.

  While many Mu Clan members with high qi realms watched them, they nervously raised their feet to walk on the red carpet and enjoyed the feeling moving up and down because of the sh.i.p.s, which made them feel as if they were in paradise, but at the same time, they were as nervous as girls getting on sedan chairs.

  "Darn it, it's too embarrassing." A man with a golden emblem sewn on his c.h.e.s.t only managed to take a few steps forward before he could not help but pour out his woes to another sect master who walked together with him. "While I was fighting in the war at the plains, I was never this nervous, not even when I fought against Hu Bilie's Golden Horde. During that time, I killed as much as I drank water. I didn't think that a day like this would come to me, where I feel as if my feet don't even belong to me when I walk."

  Right after he spoke, the sect master next to him gave him a wan smile. "We're in the same boat."

  The people at the back were clearly not that much better.

  While they were on their way, they would occasionally run into some of the friends they were familiar with in Mu Clan's parade or some of the rather famous people in various parts of the game. They wrapped their fists in their palms and saluted these people nonstop.


  These sect masters had come over here to join the wedding to congratulate Happy, and they also wanted to form a good relationship with the four great sects.

  Compared to these people's cautious attitude, which reflected even in the way they spoke, those players who came here purely to admire the wedding of the century were not as respectful and shocked.

  "Those friends of mine will definitely be so envious when they see the situation over here…"

  "Yeah. I wonder just how much money is spent just making this path. Whew…"

  "Seriously, you're so crass. How could you be talking about money in front of Mu Clan?"

  "Heh heh…"

  "The parade we met on our way here is already an eye-opener. I didn't expect that the red carpet made of sh.i.p.s would be even more interesting. I wonder if it will be even livelier when we get into Mantuo Villa. Ah... I really want to go there immediately…"

  "Don't run around. Be quiet."

  "It should be fine if we use lightness skills, right? I saw someone use Illusory Demonic Steps on the lake just now."

  "It's fine if you use lightness skills, just don't use martial arts. You're surrounded by Mu Clan members, and we even have some from Chivalry Sect around us… What the heck? They're staring at us! Come on, do they just have to do this just because we look a little uglier?"

  There were two people in the surging, and they had average looks. While they sent private messages to each other, someone suddenly came up from behind them and whispered, "You're the Dual Soaring Thieves, right? The duo who are running wild at Lingnan?"

  When they heard the person speak, these two people had their expressions change. Their gazes shone with nervousness as they quickly smiled obsequiously. "Brother, you must be joking. The Dual Soaring Thieves at Lingnan are an ugly looking bunch. They're very easy to recognize. You've got the wrong person."

  That person stared at the duo calmly and said with a flat tone, "Is it now? Those in the Embroidered Uniform Guards have a way to see through those wearing human skin masks. Who do you think you're trying to fool with your little tricks? There are plenty of us in Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, and Wind Assault Tower who are working in Embroidered Uniform Guards. Think about this carefully. If anything happens during the clan master's wedding and it has something to do with you… Just think about it carefully."

  Once he finished speaking, that person did not say anything else. He turned around and walked into the crowd, leaving those two behind to be drenched in cold sweat, because they had indeed been harboring some ulterior motives. They suddenly felt that the Mu Clan members' gazes on them were actually full of malicious intentions, even though they were just watching them from both sides of the road.

  Chapter 1071 - “Silver Wolf, You Bastard”

  There were more than one hundred thousand Chinese heroes who came from everywhere. They stepped on the red carpet that led from the port of Lake Tai to Mantuo Villa with great excitement. The red carpet that stretched for dozens of miles allowed them to understand what it meant to be extravagant and what it meant to display a person's splendor. At the same time, they also saw Mu Clan's strong charisma. There were plenty of people around, and the dense group stretched out to dozens of miles away from the port. More than one million people rushed over from everywhere in the Chinese server to attend this wedding of the century. In fact, something like this was unprecedented.

  In fact, there were some foreign players who had fair skin and blue skin in the crowd.

  Compared to the Chinese players, these foreign players, who obviously came from elsewhere, were so shocked that they could not possibly be shocked even further. When they walked on the red carpet, they were so cautious that they looked as if they were on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood.

  "This might be the most expensive and lavish red carpet I've ever walked on in my life!"

  "Even the president cannot possibly mobilize a parade of tens of thousands of people and more than one million people to come forward as an audience…"

  "Oh, goodness!"

  "Look at those immortals. They're so graceful, and I can even smell their fragrance. This is something even Ultimate Hall doesn't have!"

  "This is the Chinese plains!"

  "It's no wonder why these rumors kept circulating around the internet, saying that we would never be able to experience the real world of martial artists if we didn't come to the Chinese plains. It's worth it that we've spent wandering about like vagabonds on the sea for half a month. All this… is too magnificent. It's too shocking! I don't even know what sort of good words I should use to describe these things anymore."

  "Once the wedding ends, I'm going to paint all that I saw and heard and put it in my safe so that I can look back on this event in the future. It'll definitely be a very interesting page in my life!"

  "Let's go. We mustn't miss the grand spectacle the wedding is definitely going to present to us."

  The Mu Clan members sent away the foreign players with stern expressions and calm gazes. They watched them walk on the red carpet, and their hearts were filled with endless pride. At the same time, they also sized up all these unfamiliar faces in the crowd.

  They were not just there as a parade to escort the bride and bridegroom, they were also there to protect the red carpet. Before the wedding was over, no one was allowed to destroy the achievement they spent countless blood, sweat, and tears to make. To others, this might just be a beautiful experience, but to them, who were the people behind the scenes, they were the creators of the event, and everything in the event was theirs.

  They would not allow anyone to threaten the red carpet.

  *****

  When Happy and Xu Xin's carriage arrived in Mantuo Villa, a grand door had already been temporarily set up at the port over there. The huge Chinese character (double happiness) was placed on top of the door, and under it was a huge cauldron.

  "The bride and bridegroom has appeared!"

  "Open the lid! Light up the fire!"

  As a loud whoosh rose, the lid was lifted by a Mu Clan member who rushed past him. Crackling flames rose from the cauldron.

  From the moment the person moved past him, Happy was already able to recognize him. It was Thunderous Battle!

  Once he lifted the lid, he quickly went into the crowd. After a few seconds, he revealed an excited and expectant face, along with an honest smile.

  He was a middle-aged man who was already married, and yet he went to snatch this task. He even looked as if he was worried someone would discover him. It made him look a little ridiculous.

  Even though she had a red covering over her head, Happy was able to sense Xu Xin showing great teamwork with him by turning her head to face him. They smiled at each other.

  Wandering Know-it-all arrived in front of the carriage with a grin and stared at Happy. "Congratulations, Happy!"

  "Didn't you say that you won't get out of Beijing? You broke your own vow today, and you're going to be real busy in the future."

  "Hehe." Wandering Know-it-all cackled. Naturally, he knew what Happy meant when he said those words. His title, which he was very proud about, had a transcendent status in the Chinese server, but today, he broke his vow and got out of Beijing for Happy, and he even served as the emcee. Next time, if someone he was familiar with invited him to be an emcee again, it might be very difficult for him to refuse it.

  "Don't worry, as long as those people can make their wedding to be as lively as this one and put on a spectacle as grand as yours, I will definitely leave Beijing willingly to work for them."

  Happy was immediately rendered speechless.

  Wandering Know-it-all's words were really vicious…

  There were only a handful of people in the Chinese server who had the right to put on such a spectacle today. Because of it, Wandering Know-it-all had actually used the glory Happy enjoyed today to refuse everyone's invitation, and he could even do it with a legitimate reason.

  Both said nothing, but just looked at each other an
d smiled.

  Wandering Know-it-all schooled his expression and shouted loudly, "Bridegroom, please carry the bride down from the carriage! Once you jump over the fire basin, you will enjoy prosperity, be in love with each other forever, and hold each other's hands until your hair turns white!"

  *****

  At that moment, the Chinese heroes who followed behind them had already arrived at the bank through the sh.i.p.s Mu Clan had spontaneously assigned for them.

  The group of players who were specially tasked to film the wedding eagerly went to the closest spot to the wedding, and they continued to film the wedding which had yet to end behind the sentry line that the Mu Clan members had formed.

  When they saw Wandering Know-it-all, many people could not hold back from gasping in amazement once more!

  "Wandering Know-it-all personally came over here to be the emcee…"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/sword-among-us_13772664505174105/%E2%80%9Csilver-wolf-you-bastard%E2%80%9D_49538478756645749 for visiting.

  "Whew!"

  "This is big news!"

  "That's nothing. They've always shared a good relationship with each other. I'd find it strange if Wandering Know-it-all didn't appear. Look at the honored guests over there. There's Wind Void, Phantasmal Shadow, Night Rain Follows Wind, and some other sect masters. All of them have arrived…"

  "Urk… the sect masters of the four great sects are here. This is truly the grandest wedding of the century in the Chinese server. No one will be able to top this in the future…"

  "Yeah."

  More people arrived at Mantuo Villa.

  "Look! The bridegroom is carrying the bride…"

  "Is that huge cauldron the brazier? What the heck?! Who exactly made this practical joke? That's a huge brazier! How are the people who don't know martial arts supposed to jump over?!"

  Someone in the crowd cried out in an exaggerated fashion.

  While countless people craned their necks to wait, Happy readily carried the bride on his back. He did not even bend his knees and just rose into the air lightly. Then, he glided over the brazier slowly.
