21 Chapter 21 She is smart

Everyone was shocked by Yang Chen's strength. And the revelation that he had a hidden master helping him made them even more astounded.

The question on everyone's mind was just how powerful his master must be if Yang Chen could effortlessly overpower an elder. 

Speculations arose about the mysterious master's abilities and what kind of training Yang Chen had undergone to achieve such extraordinary strength.

"I won't let my master know about what happened today at my wedding. Unfortunately, my master didn't like a place that was crowded. Otherwise, he would deal with you all. And my grandpa wouldn't see any blood flow either."

Bullshitting skills were legendary. It was the unknown ID specialty, it seems.

"Now let's make this marriage ceremony continue, and don't talk shit anymore."

Yang Chen then looked at Xia Qingyue. He couldn't see her expression or feel any emotion coming from her. It was really unsettling. He wondered what really happened to her.

"Follow me."

It was time for him and her to go to the bridal chamber. As for Xiao Lie, He should be able to clean up the mess he made easily.

And it was like he said. He just laughed and acted like what he had done was just normal for a young man to have hot blood and make a mistake.

He hoped that the elders would forgive him for his little mistake.

Of course, all of the elders couldn't say anything as they were afraid that his master might be nearby. They just smiled and acted along with Xiao Lie.

...

"Coward, all of them. Don't you think so?"

Yang Chen asked Xia Qingyue while they walked toward the bridal room with her maid.

Xia Qingyue didn't reply, and Yang Chen didn't know what was inside her head. Her maid was also silent, but he could see the awe in her eyes toward him. 

'Don't tell me she is like Lin Ruoxi. Am I destined to be married to women who have a problem with their emotions? But Lin Ruoxi's condition was better than hers just by looking at it.'

Yang Chen couldn't help but feel annoyed as he compared Xia Qingyue's behavior to that of Lin Ruoxi. He hoped that he wouldn't meet someone like these two again. But what everyone wished for often didn't align with reality, and Yang Chen couldn't escape the possibility of encountering similar situations in the future.

They reached the bridal chamber in less than five minutes.

The bridal chamber was the room where he usually lived. It had been decorated entirely in red. The carpet on the floor was finely embroidered with a dragon and phoenix that flew upon clouds, an auspicious symbol for a blissful marriage. 

The room full of red silk also contained a large "double happiness" sign and two red candles were shining brightly between a golden lamp. 

The dragon and phoenix engraved on the candle seem to sway in the twinkling light. The flickering candle touched the golden glaze curtain and seemed to fill the room with a dreamy, hazy color. 

It was isolated from the outside world and gleamed in such a way that would make one's eyes soften.

Xia Qingyue's maid, Xia Dongling, escorted Xia Qingyue to sit in her bed and then soundlessly stepped out of the room while closing the door. 

The room became silent, and they could only vaguely hear the soft sound of their breathing.

Xia Qingyue sat there quietly, soundless, and motionless. Yang Chen did not approach her but instead stood near the doorway and thought about something.

He didn't want to be in the same room as her. He didn't know what would happen.

"What sect?"

A soft, clear voice entered his ear.

"Hum? You can talk. I thought you were mute."

"What is your sect? I couldn't feel you using profound energy at all when you attacked your elder."

Xia Qingyue didn't care about him mocking her and still asked the same question.

Yang Chen shook his head, then replied.

"No, he is not my elder, and why should I tell you anything about me? This marriage was just fake. We are not really husband and wife. Telling someone about their ability is stupid."

Yang Chen felt the urge to smoke, but he wouldn't smoke even if he had a cigeratte. It wasn't a good habit.

Xia Qingyue went silent and closed her eyes. She then took down the phoenix coronet. Yang Chen could now see her face clearly. She was really beautiful, on par with Lin Ruoxi.

"So the rumor is true that you are very beautiful, but your eyes were like dead fish. I'll give you 9 out of 10."

Xia Qingyue's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she listened to Yang Chen's comment. She was a little surprised by his blunt honesty, but she couldn't deny that his words held a hint of truth. 

"And you are not what the rumors say nor what I had imagined as well."

Xia Qingyue rose, and the touching curve of her body was exposed as she approached Yang Chen. Her eyes shone like water as she slightly parted her lips. 

"Rumors say that your vein was disabled so you can only stay at the 1st level of the Elementary Profound Realm. Because of that, you have a weak physique and low self esteem since you only stay at home. Your only friends are your little aunt Xiao Lingxi and my younger brother Yuanba. The only thing on your body that can be regarded as an advantage would be your appearance."

"Your Profound aura is not only weak and murky but your Profound Vein is indeed disabled. However, your personality is completely different from what the rumors claimed you to be. Don't mention that strage technique."

Xia Qingyue stopped at a distance of three steps before Yang Chen as she stared straight at Yang Chen with her beautiful eyes. 

"Who are you really, Are you really Xiao Che?"

'She is really smart. What answer should I say to her?'
