Watanabe Goryu is an incredibly proud person, but last ti, at the small lake by Watanabe Manor, he was obviously humiliated by Ling Zhenfei because of Watanabe Hideaki.
So this ti, Watanabe Goryu will definitely be angry and embarrassed. As soon as Ling Zhenfei steps onto the stage, he'll surely jump to seek Ling Zhenfei out for a fight.
In the temple, there are naturally many steps to follow, starting with a symbolic cleansing using holy water.
Then there's the priest's blessing. Since Hoshino igetsu is a Celestial Maiden, her status within the Ittō-ryū is very high, so the priest's blessing is also perford by Hoshino igetsu.
From the mont he saw Hoshino igetsu this morning, there hasn't been a trace of emotion on her face, as if she doesn't recognize them at all.
But Ling Zhenfei knows that deep down, Hoshino igetsu must be very terrified, as the person she loves is marrying her own sister, and she still has to recite the blessings.
If it weren't for the continuous comfort from Ling Zhenfei and Hoshino Junka last night, who knows what kind of state Hoshino igetsu would be in today.
Although she is a priest of the Ittō-ryū, after all, it's her own sister getting married, so after reciting the priest's blessings, Hoshino igetsu still gave her blessings to Hoshino Junka.
She also made a solemn promise to Ling Zhenfei, telling him to treat Xiao Xia well in the future, or she would never forgive him.
Ling Zhenfei and Hoshino igetsu t each other's eyes; though their faces showed no expression, their eyes were filled with emotion.
At this point, there was nothing Ling Zhenfei could do. He solemnly said to Hoshino igetsu.
"Rest assured, I will certainly treat my woman well in the future, making her the happiest woman."
What Ling Zhenfei said seed to be directed at Hoshino Junka, but it was also ant to tell Hoshino igetsu.
Although it appears that this wedding is between Ling Zhenfei and Hoshino Junka, it is actually the wedding of Ling Zhenfei, Hoshino igetsu, and Hoshino Junka. The blessings just now were actually vows.
Next is the Three Offerings Ceremony, where the bride and groom offer wine three tis, with each offering consisting of three cups.
Then it was ti for the most crucial part, where the couple pledged their wedding vows.
This segnt, due to modern changes, involves the priest asking questions, followed by both parties speaking their vows.
Hoshino igetsu spoke a whole lot initially and then asked everyone.
"These two newlyweds are about to beco husband and wife, and the Supre God is aware of this and has agreed. Does anyone here oppose this?"
This is usually a re formality, and after a three-second silence, Hoshino igetsu would announce them as husband and wife, followed by the exchange of rings.
However, just as Hoshino igetsu finished speaking, soone suddenly shouted from below: "I object."
Everyone was taken aback. For soone to say such a thing now, it was clearly an attempt to disrupt the event, and it was the venue of the Hoshino Family.
It's essential to know that, despite the ti constraints, the Hoshino Family had invited so very important people, including Bin Qi Wu.
If soone were to disrupt the event now, it would be the greatest insult to the Hoshino Family.
Everyone turned to look at the speaker and saw two people entering the venue.
No one knew when these two had arrived; they were standing at the temple's entrance, and everyone recognized them as Watanabe Kazushi and Watanabe Goryu from the Watanabe Manor.
The mbers of the Hoshino Family instantly rose and surrounded the two individuals.
At this point, Watanabe Kazushi spoke: "What, do you want to start a fight? The priest just asked if anyone objects; can't we object?"
Watanabe Kazushi's words were sowhat soft; regardless of his current capabilities, only the two of them ca. But this ti, a significant number of people from the Xinjing world were present.
Almost all the Ittō-ryū experts were here, and if a fight broke out, they really couldn't withstand it.
Since many renowned figures, including those well-known in the Ninja circle, had co to the event, it was obvious they couldn't start a fight directly.
The people of the Hoshino Family just surrounded the two.
Hoshino Yuji stepped up to Watanabe Kazushi and asked, "Watanabe Kazushi, do you an tomorrow is the arena fight? What are you doing here today?"
Watanabe Kazushi sneered, "Hoshino brat, you truly have no sha. Tomorrow is the Ichinin arena fight, yet you've found such an expert to marry your little girl today; your intentions are sinister."
Hoshino Yuji laughed: "Watanabe Kazushi, we didn't invite you to our family's wedding, yet you ca uninvited and even said such things. The Ichinin arena is a trivial matter.
We can't not allow our family mbers to marry just because there's an arena fight. Where's the sense in that?"
Watanabe Kazushi said: "Hoshino Yuji, don't give that; I see many reputable experts here at this event. Why don't we ask them if what you did was fair?"
Hoshino Yuji replied: "Our Hoshino Family's wedding—and irrespective of the timing—makes sense. Whether or not tomorrow is the arena fight, even if tomorrow were the end of the world, we will marry if we want to."
Watanabe Kazushi then noticed an old gentleman sitting not far away and addressed him: "Isn't that our much-respected Mr. itoku?"
Mr. itoku, as the most revered figure in the Ninja Family, do you not think this situation is unfair?"
The man referred to as Mr. itoku stood up and asked: "How is it unfair?"
Watanabe Kazushi said: "Everyone knows that tomorrow, our Watanabe Family is set to duel with the Hoshino Family. The duel is between the two families, not other participants. Now the Hoshino Family is marrying today, which practically ans today's groom is joining the Hoshino Family—this is blatant cheating."
Mr. itoku said: "Where's the cheating?"
Watanabe Kazushi replied: "Mr. itoku, if this isn't cheating, then should I imdiately find a Great Practitioner of the Pursue Heart State and have him marry a person from the Watanabe Family, so we'll have one in the battle tomorrow?"
Mr. itoku replied: "The Hoshino Family's wedding may be a bit hasty, but all the procedures are according to regulations. They applied yesterday.
According to the Master of the Hoshino Family's intentions, this haste is due to the difficulty of finding a good date, and today is a good date. Irrespective of tomorrow being your duel date, the wedding has no effect."
After hearing this, Watanabe Kazushi was infuriated, his face turning red, as he angrily spoke to Watanabe Kazushi: "Hoshino Yuji, you are truly shaless and eternally despicable."
Hoshino Yuji laughed: "Who's despicable, you know in your hearts."
Watanabe Kazushi said: "Anyway, I do not consent to this wedding."
Watanabe Goryu also added: "Neither do we consent."
The two seed intent on causing a big scene here when suddenly, Ling Zhenfei, who had been standing at the front all along, spoke up.
