Chapter 598: Chapter 334 Wedding Celebration_1 Chapter 598: Chapter 334 Wedding Celebration_1 A while had passed.
As the clan mbers gradually arrived, the number of people inside the cave dwelling had reached nearly eighty.
It seed that among the Lin Family, all the mbers who were in the late stage of Qi Refining and above, and who could free themselves, had all co to celebrate Lin Tianming’s wedding ceremony.
As for those below the late stage of Qi Refining, they did not have the privilege to sit here; Lin Shihua had unifiedly arranged for them to gather within the Family Elders’ Hall.
At this ti, the vast courtyard was filled with tables, with many family mbers sitting around talking and laughing joyfully, sharing stories of the past years.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon.
Lin Xingrong still stood at the entrance of the cave dwelling, gazing far into the square ahead, seemingly anticipating sothing.
...
“The auspicious ti should be about right, Third Uncle and the others should be arriving soon!” Lin Xingrong muttered softly.
Just then, several figures appeared on the square, led by none other than Lin Shikang and Ye Pinghai, followed by Lin Shilu and Lin Shigong and other clan mbers of the “Shi” generation.
Seeing the arrivals, Lin Xingrong’s face lit up with excitent, and he imdiately went to greet them.
“Xing Rong pays his respects to the elders, and to Uncle Ye!”
Lin Xingrong bowed deeply in a solemn greeting, smiling as he greeted the elders as well as Ye Pinghai, who had temporarily erged from seclusion.
“Haha…”
Lin Shihua smiled and waved his hand, then instructed, “Xing Rong, please lead Third Brother and the others inside!”
“Your father and I will take Tian Ming and the girl to the ancestral hall to pay tribute to our ancestors first; afterwards, we’ll co to et the rest of the elder clan mbers.”
“By the Clan Leader’s decree!”
Lin Xingrong respectfully responded and then signaled Lin Shikang and Ye Pinghai to enter the cave dwelling.
As a few of them entered the dwelling, all the chatting clan mbers inside stood up to pay their respects to Lin Shikang and the others.
“Today is Tian Ming’s joyous day, and it is rare for all of us to be together, please sit down!”
Lin Shikang said calmly as he waved his hand and then, along with Ye Pinghai, made his way to the main hall of the cave dwelling.
Outside the dwelling, as Lin Shikang and the others left, Lin Xingrong and Lin Shihua did not linger either, starting to fly towards the direction of the family ancestral hall.
It wasn’t long before the two of them arrived in front of the ancestral hall.
At that mont, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi stood side by side, waiting there specially.
Upon seeing the newcors, Lin Tianming imdiately led Qin Xi to approach them.
“Tian Ming pays his respects to the Clan Leader, and to father!”
Witnessing this, Qin Xi also perford a reverent salute and said, “Qin Xi pays her respects to the Clan Leader, and to father!”
Then, Lin Shihua glanced at Qin Xi, who wore a golden robe and whose stunning beauty was strikingly well-matched with Lin Tianming at her side.
“Haha…”
Lin Shihua nodded in satisfaction and said, “Young lady, you need not be so formal. After paying tribute to the ancestors and eting the family’s elders, you’ll be one of our Lin Family mbers!”
At these words, Qin Xi blushed slightly, appearing sowhat shy.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming took her hand, conveying a sense of comfort.
At this ti, noticing Lin Tianming’s gesture, Lin Shihua chuckled heartily, then said, “It’s about ti, follow inside!”
Upon finishing, Lin Shihua cast several Law Decrees to open the protective restrictions of the ancestral hall and then walked in with large strides.
Following him, Lin Xingrong also waved his hand, indicating for Lin Tianming and Qin Xi to follow.
“Xi’er, let’s go!”
Lin Tianming said, then took Qin Xi’s hand and walked deeper into the ancestral hall.
Soon, the four of them passed through the corridors and arrived inside a hall deep within.
At this mont, Lin Shihua looked around, his gaze sweeping over the myriad Spirit Tablets.
anwhile, Qin Xi, experiencing the ancestral hall for the first ti, curiously surveyed the surroundings, her thoughts unknown.
As for Lin Tianming, he stood quietly next to Qin Xi, looking at the many nas on the Spirit Tablets, and was lost in mories.
It had been a long ti since he had visited this family ancestral hall; the last ti he ca was after the battle on Green Bamboo Mountain with the Jin Family Cultivators,
Later, when Lin Shigang and Lin Shihe’s lifespans had co to an end and their Spirit Tablets were placed in the hall, he was out fulfilling a family task and did not get the chance to escort them on their final journey.
Looking back, nearly twenty years had passed since his last visit to the ancestral hall.
Now, re-entering the hall, it was on the day of his own wedding.
After a while, he collected his thoughts and saw that Lin Shihua, with a serious expression, took out several offerings from his storage bag to refresh the sacrificial table.
Having done that, he lit a few sticks of incense and, with great respect, made three bows to the central ancestral tablet of the progenitor.
Behind him, Lin Xingrong stood by with reverence, his eyes filled with affectionate rembrance and a touch of joy.
Ti passed, unknowingly, as Lin Shihua finished the preparatory work.
At that mont, he still stood in front of the sacrificial table, then, after a glance at Lin Tianming and Qin Xi below, he took on a deep and solemn tone.
He then started to speak, “On this most auspicious and joyful day, our clan descendant Lin Tianming and the daughter of a Loose Cultivator, Qin Xi, are united in marriage. We co to pay respect to all our forebears, marking the comncent of the wedding ceremony.”
As his words echoed, Lin Xingrong ushered Lin Tianming and Qin Xi to bow in reverence, followed by presenting a cup of Spiritual Wine.
anwhile, Lin Shihua continued his recitation.
From his sowhat peculiar words, one could discern he was recounting Lin Tianming’s contributions to the family over the years, as well as revealing Qin Xi’s background.
At the sa ti, amidst these peculiar phrases, there was also an expression of hope for a bright future.
Lin Tianming and Qin Xi stood side by side, waiting and following the guidance of Lin Xingrong, paying their solemn respects.
After a little less than half an hour had passed.
