Chapter 29

Park Jeong-sung's joining the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Academy as an exchange student caused quite a stir in Jianghai City.

After all, his resume was indeed outstanding, and he had swept through a circle of swordsmanship geniuses in Kyoto.

Now, by joining the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Academy, wasn't it a clear indication that the academy was excellent?

Therefore, parents in Jiangcheng and the nearby cities included the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Academy in their plans when enrolling their children for the fall.

As for the matter of the sword marks on the Golden Bull, Qin Shenglong used some special means to suppress it.

He also brought the Golden Bull back to the academy, allowing only students with good swordsmanship potential to view it.

This was actually a form of protection for those students, as insufficient talent could easily lead to mental derangement.

In his spare time, he would find Park Jeong-sung to practice swordsmanship, claiming it was for guidance, but in reality, he wanted to extract everything Park Jeong-sung had learned from the Sword Saint Liu Chengxun.

After a few days, Jianghai City returned to peace.

However, in the hearts of many people in Jianghai City, two facts had already been deeply rooted!

First, Jianghai City had a world-class swordsman with extraordinary cultivation!

Second, Jianghai City had a swordsmanship master with extraordinary sword skills!

Although no one knew who these two people were, many had already idolized them.

Even the Jianghai City government seemed to be intentionally riding the wave, engraving simple drawings of the swordsman and the swordsman on many public facilities in Jianghai City.

This undoubtedly made everyone even more convinced that Jianghai City truly had two super experts, one with a sword and one with a saber, whose cultivation was at least at the Divine Sect level!

Ye Xiao was not interested.

Whether it was a world-class swordsman or an extraordinary swordsman, it was just a hollow title.

If people wanted to use him as a spiritual support, that was fine, but he would never come forward to acknowledge it.

Because his current cultivation was far from the Divine Sect level.

If he admitted it, it would attract a bunch of challengers, and he would be in serious trouble.

For a month, Ye Xiao lived his life as usual, shuttling between home and the library, with a slow and comfortable pace.

Apart from Qin Yuyan borrowing and returning books, no one else had much interaction with him.

Gu Hai, since he had a girlfriend and was preparing for the defense team exam, came to the third floor much less often.

This gave Ye Xiao more time to read.

His mental cultivation techniques had already gathered six volumes, but because mental cultivation techniques were indeed rare, it was difficult to find another one.

Fortunately, Ye Xiao was not impatient, otherwise, he would have been driven mad.

In this regard, the Golden Book Spirit was quite suitable for him.

No cultivation was needed; just reading books would automatically handle everything, which was quite perfect!

A month later, Gu Hai's wedding took place.

Ye Xiao attended as a groomsman.

Not only did he have to pay, but he also had to work.

Upon arriving, he and the other groomsmen entered the wedding team's styling room, where the stylists gave them makeovers and changed them into tuxedos.

Not long after, the other groomsmen, who had been dressed up, grumbled as they walked out of the room.

Gu Hai looked bewildered.

"What's going on, guys?"

"Gu Hai, are you intentionally trying to make us look bad?"

"Exactly, what's the deal with you inviting Ye Xiao?"

Gu Hai was confused.

"Is Old Ye bullying you? That's impossible. Old Ye is very honest and never bullies anyone."

"Nonsense! Does he even need to bully us? Just standing there, he makes all of us look like sidekicks."

Gu Hai was at a loss.

He knew Ye Xiao was good-looking, but it wasn't that exaggerated, right?

At that moment, Ye Xiao also walked out of the room.

Gu Hai's expression instantly froze.

"Damn!"

Usually, the library did not require tuxedos, so although Ye Xiao was good-looking, his charm was not fully displayed.

But today, the wedding team not only styled him, groomed his eyebrows, but also dressed him in a very sharp tuxedo.

This completely showcased Ye Xiao's handsome appearance.

He wasn't so handsome that he would make others feel inferior, but he was on par with TV stars.

Ye Xiao felt a bit awkward under everyone's gaze and cleared his throat.

"Should I... leave?"

"Don't be silly. Being good-looking isn't your fault; it's your parents' fault. Let's go, the wedding is about to start."

Ye Xiao nodded.

The bride had already been brought to the hotel, and the guests from both sides were arranged in the hotel.

Just as they arrived at the floor where the wedding was being held, Gu Hai and the other groomsmen had not yet entered when some of the guests from the bride's side, who had not seen Gu Hai before, started to gather their gazes on Ye Xiao.

"Is he the groom? He's so handsome!"

"He looks so good, like a TV star. The Lu family's daughter is so lucky!"

"Today, the Lu family's daughter has a classmate as a bridesmaid, who is also very beautiful."

"I think they should be a couple. The Lu family's daughter doesn't match his looks."

Gu Hai's face turned black.

The other groomsmen muttered beside him.

"We should have not let him come."

Gu Hai cleared his throat, ignoring the awkwardness, and led everyone inside to start the wedding.

Just as they entered, the wedding emcee grabbed Ye Xiao.

"Why are you just arriving? We've been waiting for you. Go rehearse your lines; you'll need them soon."

Gu Hai's face turned even blacker.

Ye Xiao pointed to his boutonnière awkwardly.

"I'm the groomsman; he's the groom."

The emcee laughed.

"Ha ha ha, my mistake, sorry, sorry."

Fortunately, it was a joyous day, and it wasn't appropriate to get angry, so Gu Hai didn't make a fuss.

After muttering a few words, everyone hurried inside to avoid missing the auspicious time.

Inside, Gu Hai first found his wife, held her hand, and declared his ownership.

Feeling everyone's gaze finally focused on him, his mood improved significantly.

Old Lu, seeing his smug expression, looked grim, as if his carefully grown cabbage had been trampled by a pig.

His expression was a mix of helplessness and disdain.

But when he saw the groomsman, Ye Xiao, who was dressed handsomely, he felt even more like crying.

Damn, why didn't I let my daughter get to know Ye Xiao back then?

If my daughter had met Ye Xiao earlier, she would definitely have been won over by him, and wouldn't have ended up with Gu Hai.

Not to mention Ye Xiao's good looks, at least he wouldn't have gone to Red Romance!

Looking at Gu Hai, his heart ached even more.

This was a huge loss!

Ye Xiao greeted him and tactfully moved to a corner to avoid stealing the spotlight from the newlyweds.

"Phew~!"

He exhaled, feeling relieved.

But at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"You're here too."
