Chapter 39

At the entrance of the wedding hall, a beautiful sixteen year old girl entered, her red clothes with phoenix designs were simply beautiful, and even the veil that covered her face couldn't hide her beauty.

Instantly all the people in the hall stood up to admire this beautiful young woman, even the older generation couldn't help but give the girl a few glances.

"Definitely the number one beauty of this city."

"Of the city? Hmph! She's probably the most beautiful woman in the Empire!"

Voices boomed throughout the wedding hall at the same time other people began to sigh in disappointment.

"It's a pity that she's marrying that Xiao clan trash..."

"The young master of the Xiao clan, he is a frog wanting to eat the flesh of a swan..."

These wailing voices came from people who had a certain animosity against the Xiao clan, and also from some young master from other clans who always coveted the beauty of the Xia clan princess.

Itachi who was standing at a distance turned his face to look at the girl he rescued years ago, and even he had to admit that she turned out to be a great beauty, but it still wasn't enough to move his heart.

"Her talent is really amazing... I wonder what these people would say if they knew that she is already in the True Profound Realm..." He thought as he looked at the girl.

"My universe seems to react to something that is in her body, I wonder what it is..."

With these thoughts he turned his gaze to the center of the hall, where Yun Che was staring at Xia Qingyue with a huge smile on his face, he probably had the same thought as most of the people present.

Xia Qingyue who entered the hall didn't look sideways and slowly walked forward, in her mind she just wanted to finish this arranged marriage before leaving for the sect to cultivate. She had bigger goals than marrying a man she doesn't even like.

As she walked towards Yun Che, her heart began to beat harder, as if she wanted to tell him something, but she simply couldn't say what it was.

"What is happening to me?" She thought.

To the people watching her walk there was nothing unusual, but Yun Che seemed to have sensed that his bride was in a strange state, but he blamed that as her being embarrassed to marry someone as handsome as him.

Poor Yun Che.

When she was only a few steps away from reaching the center of the hall, Xia Qingyue felt her heart beating harder, and as if she couldn't resist she turned her gaze in a specific direction of the wedding hall.

And there he was, the one she had been looking for, the one she had been longing for all these years.

Xia Qingyue had two goals, the main one being to find her mother and bring her back so they could live as a normal family again, and her second goal was to find again that boy who had saved her life years ago, that boy who showed her eyes she would never forget.

Her beautiful black eyes met the beautiful onyx eyes of the young man standing in a secluded corner of the wedding hall.

Even if all these years had passed, she would never forget that boy's eyes, she would never forget the features that his face possessed. She didn't know when or how, but she was hopelessly smitten with this young man.

Her heart that seemed agitated slowly calmed down, it was as if the moment she looked at the young man her body and soul relaxed, he gave off a sense of security that she only felt with her mother.

Itachi who crossed his gaze with Xia Qingyue felt his heart give a slight thump before it calmed down again. He never expected that a glance through this girl's veil could make his heart skip slightly, this was definitely the first time for him since he came to this world.

"It looks like she recognized me... I just hope she doesn't have any hatred towards my person because of what I talked about years ago." He thought.

The gaze of both of them lasted only a few seconds, but to Xia Qingyue it seemed like an eternity that she would easily agree to stay.

The people around seemed not to have noticed this contact, but one person in specific noticed this abnormality and therefore turned his gaze to face Itachi with a nasty face, as if Itachi had stolen something that belonged to him.

"Who does he think he is? Facing someone else's wife? I'll definitely ask my grandfather." Yun Che thought as he turned his gaze to Xia Qingyue.

As if he hadn't noticed Yun Che's gaze on him, Itachi continued in the corner he was in to watch this wedding ceremony. He felt that the atmosphere of the wedding was relatively pleasant if you took away the mean comments that some people were making from time to time.

Soon, Xia Qingyue arrived in front of Yun Che and due to the clothes they were both wearing, they looked like a couple made for each other but all the people thought this was a complete affront because the only good thing the young master of the Xiao clan had was his looks, the rest of him was completely trash.

Itachi felt that he had seen enough of the wedding, and since he didn't want to keep waiting, he decided to find some inn to rest before taking Xia Qingyue away tomorrow. At first he had intended to take her after the wedding, but he realized that this might not be good, so he opted to do this tomorrow.

Xia Qingyue again felt her heart skip a beat, and realizing who was the cause of this, she turned her head slightly towards the direction where Itachi was, and realizing that he was leaving, her heart seemed to sink.

"He must think I'm in love with the Young Master of the Xiao clan..." She thought.

This was the first time her emotions had gone out of control since she started cultivating the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace arts, and she couldn't help it was as if she was bound to the young man.

"Since the bride and groom are here, we'll start the wedding ceremony, then-"

...

Itachi had already left the wedding hall, but before finding an inn to rest, he decided to walk around the surroundings of this small town as it was already getting dark the town seemed brighter, showing that even though it was a small town and far away people still knew how to party.

"The moon is really beautiful..." He thought as he walked through the town and at the same time watched the bright moon in the sky that was slightly dark.

With these thoughts he decided to enter the nearest hotel, but before he could do that, he heard a female voice in the distance calling him.

"Please wait!"
