Chapter 147 Did she change her mind so quickly?
After much thought, Hu Wei still couldn't come up with a solution.
While scratching his head in frustration, he suddenly saw a group of bodyguards enter. He immediately had a bright idea and secretly stood at the back.
"Hua, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of Tianwu Escort Agency, has arrived!"
The servants at the gate took the invitation from the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), opened it, and immediately bowed in greeting.
Hu Wei, who was standing at the end of the line, took out a pair of nunchucks and pretended to study them casually.
But he was still very nervous, even more so than when he faced a charge of thousands of cavalry.
A servant immediately stepped forward and led Hua Biaotou forward. There were a total of thirteen people from Tianwu Escort Agency, all of whom were Hua Biaotou's sons or apprentices. They were all dressed in casual clothes, but they were still quite elegant.
Perhaps the Shen family was in a hurry and didn't keep a careful count of the invitations and the number of attendees, which allowed Hu Wei to sneak in.
Upon entering the Shen family home again, Hu Wei was still deeply moved.
After entering, you'll find pavilions, terraces, hills, and flowing water everywhere.
We passed through more than ten gardens, each with a different style, and we could even see moon and sun wheel styles.
These are the different courtyards that the Shen family built to accommodate different groups of people.
You can even see a statue of a divine eagle here, which is a totem of worship representing the Kingdom of Huoluo.
The further he went, the more inferior Hu Wei felt.
But he quickly composed himself.
Until they arrived at the inner courtyard.
In the inner courtyard, the Shen family fully demonstrated its profound heritage.
The entire 3,000-square-meter garden plaza in the inner courtyard began to sink amidst the sounds of gears and rumbling.
This scene feels particularly out of place given the ancient social context.
Ten Iron Guards took off, and countless fireworks exploded in the sky.
The outer perimeter of the inner courtyard was completely supported by a barrier over fifty meters high, divided into nine layers.
Then, the main hall in the center began to slowly rise several meters.
With this design, the main hall at the very center will be clearly visible to the thousands of visitors!
Just like the concert itself, it was incredibly impressive.
Then, the Iron Guard stood at the outermost edge. The metallic texture, coupled with the inexplicable aura of the divine ointment, made everyone around him tremble.
Hu Wei mingled with the crowd and entered the outermost ninth floor.
The clamor of conversations from the surrounding area reached my ears.
"My goodness, the engagement of Miss Shen is such a grand affair!!"
"Yes, I wish I were the leader of the Valley God Sect..."
"You? Don't even think about it in your next life. With your Grand Martial Master cultivation, you're doomed in this life. The leader of the Valley God Sect should at least be a Grandmaster!"
"I was just saying it offhand, but this viewing platform hasn't been opened in years. The last time was when Emperor Yanwu himself came, wasn't it?"
"Yes, the Shen family hadn't used it for many years. I heard it was damaged when it was first used. I didn't expect it to be repaired this time!"
"It's magnificent! This trip was definitely worthwhile. By the way, is that the Iron Guard?"
"Yes! It's said to have been left behind by Shen Mengqi, an ancestor of the Shen family, more than a thousand years ago. I never thought I'd still see it more than a thousand years later! One of these Iron Guards can fight a Grandmaster!"
"You're quite knowledgeable. Let me tell you, over a thousand years ago, the Shen family ancestor, under the orders of Emperor Jiling, created an overwhelming army of iron guards to fight against the legendary hidden immortals."
That battle was devastating; the sky darkened, the sea surged, and a violent storm swept across most of Leizhou. It shows how glorious the Shen family was back then!
"Sir, who actually won that battle back then?"
The old scholar, when asked the question, laughed heartily: "Back then, those immortals sponsored Emperor Ji Ling to unify the Wuji Empire, and then Emperor Ji Ling used this to sweep across the world and completely unify the entire continent."
However, the Hidden Clan sent a deity to marry Emperor Jiling, intending to interfere in the internal affairs of the Wuji Empire.
Emperor Jiling at that time was wise and powerful. How could he be willing for his descendants and even the entire human race to be enslaved by these gods?
So he poisoned his own fairy concubine, then gathered the elite of the human race, formed the Five Elements Army with the five major families, and launched a war between humans and gods aboard the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Fleet created by the ancestor of the Shen family!
In that battle, the human race's elite forces were almost completely wiped out, the fleet was reduced to less than one-hundredth, and Emperor Jiling and others were also seriously injured and on the verge of death.
But it's clear that we won!
In the war between humans and gods, we humans have won!
From this day forward, there will be no more immortals flying through the heavens, no more sorcerers abducting entire cities for alchemy! No more divine beasts entering cities to devour humans! And no more humiliation of immortals ordering emperors to kneel!
The old scholar roared with fervor, and the young people around him were also very excited.
But after a moment, his expression turned dejected: "But after that, Emperor Jiling died, the grasslands rebelled, the Moon Wheel Kingdom was restored, and countless so-called great Confucian scholars denounced Emperor Jiling's tyranny."
But so what? Even if he was cruel and senile in his later years, he is still a hero of humanity!
"The old gentleman is right!"
"Yes! I had no idea there was such a history. Thank you for pointing it out, sir..."
Before they knew it, a large crowd had gathered around them.
After hearing these things, Hu Wei gained a better understanding of the Shen family.
Deep down, he also wished he could be such a hero.
But there was also a hint of self-deprecation in it.
I am powerless to protect even a small part of Yunzhou, yet others are able to protect the entire human race.
He felt that the Shen family absolutely could not continue like this. How could they face their ancestors from a thousand years ago by joining the Valley God Sect as thieves?
He raised his head and looked towards the main hall in the center.
Just then, three tolls of a bell came from the main hall.
Dressed in a festive red robe, Shen Haisheng laughed and said, "Today is the engagement ceremony of Shen Miao, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and Xu Tianyi, the leader of the Valley God Sect. You are all longtime friends of the Shen family, and we should celebrate this joyous occasion together!"
"Congratulations, Miss Shen, congratulations, Master Xu..."
"Congratulations, Miss Shen, congratulations, Master Xu..."
……
Hu Wei became nervous. He looked up and saw that everyone in the main hall was from the Shen family.
There were four or five young people among them, but he didn't seem to recognize any of them.
I was a little confused. Wasn't he supposed to be an old man?
He quickly pushed aside the people blocking his way and looked up for a closer look.
He couldn't help but curse, "Yue Shan!! Good! Very good!"
He was furious. How could he not know about the relationship between Shen Miao and himself?
Now that Shen Miao is getting engaged to someone else, he not only doesn't stop her or send anyone to tell her, but he also takes the initiative to attend the wedding. What a good brother he is!
I knew it! A rich kid like him has never respected me!
Hu Wei stared ahead resentfully, and the people around him unconsciously moved away from him, clearly indicating that this man wanted to cause trouble.
"You're not trying to cause trouble, are you!"
A young man suddenly spoke up to question it.
Hu Wei snorted coldly: "None of your business!"
After saying that, he exuded a powerful aura, and a strong burst of true energy swept over us.
But the young man was also quite defiant: "You're not trying to steal the bride, are you? I'm going to report you... Hey! Someone wants to..."
"Hey, hey, hey... young man, what are you doing? Please, I wouldn't dare to steal a bride! I'm just... I'm just a little angry because I heard Miss Shen is going to marry an old man..."
"What?! Wasn't Miss Shen supposed to marry Master Xu? How did she turn into an old man?"
Hu Wei frowned: "You mean..."
The young scholar immediately stood up and looked towards the main hall: "That's right, isn't Leader Xu wearing a groom's attire?"
Hu Wei was startled and immediately looked over.
"really……"
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.
"Shen Miao wouldn't have changed her mind so quickly after we argued, would she...?"
