7 Wedding Procession

"Xiao Che!!!" the waiter exclaimed loudly, grabbing everyone's attention inside the tavern.

The waiter apologized to everyone for his rude behavior, then took a seat next to Yagami.

'Hmm, from the actions of this waiter, it seems that this Xiao Che is either a very powerful person or has a deep background',  Yagami thought to himself.

"Ahem, sir, it seems I'm right that you're new in town, aren't you?" the waiter asked.

"Kind of, how did you know?" Yagami replied.

"For two reasons, first because I've never seen you in town before, as the floating cloud city is small, and the population isn't large. Strong cultivators like you aren't many, and I've already seen them all, but you, sir, it's the first time I've seen you. Secondly, because of your unfamiliarity with Xiao Che, as everyone living in the city knows who Xiao Che is very well," the waiter explained to Yagami.

"Hmm, how did you know I'm a strong cultivator?" Yagami asked again.

"Well, sir, just look at yourself, you have a majestic appearance and a perfect physique, also your expensive clothes, plus your strange eyes... oh, I apologize, sir, I don't mean to be rude, I meant to say that your eyes emit a sense of awe!" the waiter clarified himself, fearing Yagami's anger.

"Hmm, so it seems. Relax, don't worry, let's leave these speculations aside and tell me more about Xiao Che," Yagami said, then tossed a profound celestial coin onto the table.

As soon as the waiter saw the celestial coin, he drooled with greed.

"Yes, sir, of course, I'll tell you everything."

"Hmm, good," Yagami said with a smile.

"Xiao Che is a member of the Xiao Clan, which is considered the strongest clan in the floating cloud city, but he's not like other members because he was born with destructive profound veins, which means he's disabled. However, he still has a strong background because he's the son of Xiao Ying and the grandson of Xiao Lie, who is the fifth elder of the Xiao Clan and the strongest one in the city. Therefore, despite being disabled, no one dares to hit him or bully him," the waiter explained Xiao Che's background slowly and accurately.

'Disabled, then. It seems he's the person I'm looking for indeed. It seems I must find him, but as for treating him, I don't know anything about that. Never mind, I'll leave it to the system.'

"Xiao Lie and Xiao Ying, can you tell me about their cultivation bases?" Yagami asked the waiter again.

"Yes, sir, Xiao Lie's cultivation base is level 10 of Spirit Profound Realm, while his son, Xiao Ying, is in the True Profound Realm. But, sir, there's something else, Xiao Ying has already passed away for a while now due to assassination by an unknown person," the waiter said.

"Hmm, it seems according to the waiter's words, I'm the strongest person in this city currently. But I shouldn't trust anyone; I'll remain hidden and approach this Xiao Che".

"Hmm, good, is there anything else you can tell me?" Yagami asked the waiter.

"Yes, yes, sir, next week is Xiao Che's wedding day!" the waiter replied.

"Wedding? With whom and where? Tell me," Yagami raised his eyebrow, then said to himself.

'It seems like a perfect opportunity to get closer to Xiao Che'.

"As for this, sir, Xiao Che's luck defies the heavens. He will marry the most beautiful young genius in the floating cloud city! She's the daughter of the city's mayor Situ," the waiter said.

"Interesting, the weakest guy is about to marry a beautiful girl and the daughter of the mayor above that. What a wonderful story. Hahaha," after gathering his information, Yagami stood up and left the tavern, leaving behind the happy waiter who had received a profound celestial coin.

'Okay, it seems I'll execute my plan after a week. Now I must start practicing my techniques, gaining experience, and preparing for what's coming!"' After that, Yagami headed to book a room in an inn located west of the city.

He spent about 16 hours learning and practicing his skills, then rested and gathered information in the remaining time. Thus, a week passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of his plan's execution came.

Yagami left the inn and headed to the road where the wedding procession would pass, then mingled with the crowd, waiting for Yun Che to pass by. But the strange thing was that all these people weren't happy to see Xiao Che; on the contrary, they were all angry or, to be more precise, envious of his luck to marry the daughter of the city's mayor Situ.

After a while, the wedding procession appeared in Yagami's sight. It consisted of several horses, with Xiao Che in the middle, accompanied by guards sent by his grandfather Xiao Lie to protect him from any unknown person.

Yagami noticed Xiao Chi and stared at him, trying to analyze his personality.

"I thought he would ride in a carriage today, but contrary to my expectations, he's using a horse. I guess not all rumors were true."

"The disabled guy despised by everyone is about to marry our city's jewel; surely he will be proud."

"I heard that the young master of the Yun Clan and several others from other clans are crazy in love with Xiao Qingyu. Do you think they will come to stop this wedding?"

"I don't think so. Although Xiao Che is disabled, his grandfather is Xiao Lie. All fighters in our city respect him. Since his only son died, he only has this grandson left. And if anyone dares to interfere with Xiao Chi's wedding, they will face Xiao Lie's wrath. I think all the young men who love Xiao Qingyue have been captured and are confined to their homes."

"Ah, the woman of my dreams is about to marry a disabled person like him. I'd rather die than accept this reality."

'Xia Qingue?' Yagami surprised by hearing this new name at this moment.

While Xiao Che was riding on his horse, his eyes remained calm, and his face exuded a kind of charm and elegance. His long hair fluttered behind his clothes, and all the whispers of the crowd reached his ears, but it seemed that all that jealousy, hatred, and resentment from the crowd didn't affect him at all. With a small smile on his face, several girls' hearts were stolen because of that face.

Despite all the young men hating Xiao Che  to the core, in their hearts, they had to admit that Xiao Shi's appearance was worthy of marrying Xiao Qingyue...
