Chapter 245 Uninvited Guest

It would be interesting to consider inviting the disciples who were scattered all over the place to come back and attend the wedding, but Xin Zhen thought about it and decided not to.

There is chaos and war everywhere now. Those students who study medicine are powerless and it is dangerous for them to travel. Just write to them and let them know when the time comes.

Oh, there are also Hu Qingniu and his wife. There’s no need to say much about them. No one knows where they have gone into seclusion. It’s impossible to find them even if you want to.

Xin Zhen sorted out his thoughts and found that he indeed had very few friends in the Yitian world, but he did know quite a few patients nearby.

But there is nothing wrong with it. The most important thing for a person is to enjoy himself, not to have a wide circle of friends.

Since no disciples were invited, Chang Yuchun might not be able to come. The Wudang Sect would probably only send a second-generation disciple and Zhang Wuji, at most four or five people. Add to that eight or nine of their own disciples, so two or three tables would be enough.

The wedding was scheduled for a month later, and Xin Zhen prepared very carefully. He took Zhou Zhiruo to cut a wedding dress, and when the time was almost right, he bought a lot of red cloth and red paper, wrote red couplets and big happy characters himself, and asked his disciples to cut window paper and hang red lanterns to decorate the yard with joy.

Since there were too few guests, they tried their best to make up for it with the environment so that Zhou Zhiruo wouldn't feel regretful.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo didn't really care about this. She only cared about whether she could marry Xin Zhen. Every day, apart from teaching his disciples and when Xin Zhen was making these decorations, she watched everything happening happily, and her smile became more and more frequent.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of summer, and there was already some autumn wind, and their wedding was just around the corner.

The day before, Xin Zhen contacted the butchers and fishmongers and prepared food for four or five tables. He invited a banquet chef with a good reputation nearby to help, and also invited a matchmaker with a good reputation nearby to do Zhou Zhiruo's face and makeup.

Early in the morning on the wedding day, the whole yard was bustling with activity. Zhou Zhiruo was busy putting on makeup and preparing to get married.

Xin Zhen was much busier. The oldest of his disciples was only in their teens and could basically not take on any responsibilities. He had to do everything by himself, such as welcoming guests, arranging seating, serving dishes and so on.

Fortunately, Xin Zhen had seen all kinds of big scenes, so he handled them in an orderly manner.

Just waiting for the guests to arrive.

Not long after Xin Zhen got up, a disciple who was sent out to the intersection to welcome the guests came back and said, "Master, Ming Cult Master Yang has brought people to give gifts."

Xin Zhen was stunned: "Yang Xiao is here?"

When they went out to take a look, they saw that not only Yang Xiao had come, but also White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng, Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao, and the Five Scattered People had all come, followed by dozens of men carrying all kinds of boxes and the like.

Yang Xiao laughed and handed Xin Zhen the gift list, and Xin Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

There were a total of 200 gifts written on more than ten pieces of gold-mud paper. The first one was "a pair of jade lions", the second one was "a pair of emerald phoenixes", and after countless jewels, there were "one hundred special purple wolf hair twigs", "forty ingots of tribute Tang ink", "one hundred pieces of Xuanhe mulberry paper", and "eight squares of top-quality Duan inkstones". The rest were all clothes, hats, belts, costumes and utensils.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master Yang is really thoughtful. I have no way to return your gift. I can't just give you a few carp from the Han River. That would be too shabby."

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Master Zhou saved our Ming Cult. This is a great favor, but your leader is unwilling to do it. We also refused to accept the gifts we gave you. We can only take this opportunity to express our gratitude."

Everyone laughed together.

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, saying, "Please come in, everyone. Fortunately, we prepared two extra tables, otherwise it would not be enough."

Wei Yixiao walked into the courtyard and looked around. He was surprised and asked, "Master Zhou, why did you only set up four tables for your wedding? You didn't invite anyone?" Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's true that we didn't invite anyone. We just sent an invitation to Wudang Mountain and one to Brother Chang. Brother Chang probably couldn't come, so we just informed him. But how did you, Master Yang and Wei Fuwang, know about this?"

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Since you asked the Mingjiao members to deliver the invitation to Chang Yuchun, isn't it normal for us to know?"

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, saying, "The anti-Yuan cause is in full swing recently, and I don't think you guys have time to come."

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "We can skip other things, but how can we not come to your wedding, Master Zhou?"

Everyone laughed and said, "That's right!"

Xin Zhen was about to invite Yang Xiao and the others to take a seat when Wei Yixiao suddenly said, "Master Zhou, we are here today to congratulate you and Miss Zhou on your wedding, and secondly, there are rumors in the martial arts world that the Heavenly Sword is in your hands.

So there are many people with bad intentions who want to take advantage of the opportunity to rob, so we are here to help if needed."

Xin Zhen frowned and said, "You should know a lot about the Sword of Heavenly Sword being in my hands. Why is it only revealed now? Is there someone behind the scenes fanning the flames?"

Yang Xiao nodded and smiled: "That should be the case. It doesn't matter. It will be revealed today anyway."

When Xin Zhen heard Yang Xiao say this, he knew that he must have made some arrangements, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will rely on Master Yang and the others today."

Yang Xiao and the others quickly bowed and said, "Master Zhou, you are too polite."

Another disciple came in and reported: "Master, Master Zhang of Wudang has arrived with his disciples."

Xin Zhen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master Zhang is here? How many people are here?"

The disciple said, "More than a dozen people have come, five of the Seven Heroes of Wudang have come, and there are nine third-generation disciples."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master Zhang is too generous, but there are not enough seats."

Yin Tianzheng smiled and said, "How difficult is that, King Ye, quickly contact the nearest restaurant and ask them to arrange for the banquet to be delivered.

Hero Zhou, don't worry about these things, go and greet Master Zhang, we will take care of the rest."

Xin Zhen nodded and hurried out to greet him. Sure enough, not long after he walked out, he saw Zhang Sanfeng walking towards him in a brand new robe with wide sleeves and a very impressive temperament.

Following behind him were Yu Lianzhou, Yu Daying, Zhang Songxi, Yin Liting, and Mo Shenggu. Among the three generations of disciples were Song Qingshu and Zhang Wuji and others. Except for Song Yuanqiao, all the Wudang people came out.

Zhang Sanfeng saw Xin Zhen coming out to greet him and laughed, "Brother Zhou Yan, I'm here to ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Xin Zhen bowed and smiled, "Master Zhang and the Wudang heroes have come together. I am really honored. Please come in quickly."

Yu Lianzhou presented a gift list on behalf of Wudang. Xin Zhen glanced at it and saw only some ordinary gifts. But at the end he looked at Zhang Sanfeng in surprise. The last thing written on it was: A copy of Tai Chi Sword Scripture.
