Chapter 563 Yang Family Wedding Banquet
"What's so regrettable? Does the Tianyan Yang family still need to use marriage to show its power?"

"Besides, that person is also a son-in-law and has no influence on the Yang family."

……

Listening to the random discussions coming from all around, Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. He really didn't expect that Mu Renzhi was so good at picking up girls.

Until now he still couldn't understand how Yang Yan, a proud and arrogant young lady whose cognition and values ​​were influenced by the Yang family's teachings, could fall for such a straight-forward person?
"Yang Yan, oh Yang Yan, you are simply throwing the Yang family's face to the ground and stepping on it hard twice."

Murong Ji muttered something, then found a corner to sit down and prepare to start the meal.

To be honest, he has never participated in a banquet of a big family. He also wants to see what delicious food is served at the banquet.

When Chinese people see something new, their first reaction is whether it can be eaten directly, and their second reaction is how can they eat it...

Tushan Rongrong still recorded everything she saw very seriously, and she planned to do the same after returning to Tushan.

Murong Ji leaned his arms on the table and glanced at everyone present. He knew some of them as he had seen them in front of the Chen family's door before.

He had only heard of some people and could only roughly guess their identities.

The seats were filled with Taoist seniors and rising stars.

There were so many people present that Murong Ji suddenly realized that there was not a single person from the Xiao family.

[They are not even doing the superficial thing. The power of the Yiqi Dao League has completely split? ! ! The Tianyan Yang family is intentionally isolating the Xiao family. ]

Before he could think about it, the sound of music suddenly rang out.

This is the wedding opening!

Murong Ji was still too short, and he was sitting a little far back, but he couldn't hide his curiosity.

In desperation, he just stood on the chair and looked outside.

The bright red carpet with a pattern of dragon and phoenix extends all the way to the inner courtyard of the Yang family.

It was also at this time that Murong Ji noticed that this reception room had double doors at the front and back.

Yang Yan, wearing her wedding dress, walked over from the other end of the carpet, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Looking in the direction she was walking, Murong Ji saw the wooden man standing at the end of the reception room.

She still had that dazed look on her face. She wore the wedding dress, but it didn't look very festive. Instead, it looked a little funny.

The wedding proceeded step by step. After Murong Ji understood the general process, he began to look forward to the banquet.

For more than a year, thanks to the dead monkey, it was a luxury for him to have a good meal.

At this time, the maids in the Yang Mansion began to serve the dishes one by one. Murong Ji couldn't name these delicacies, but they were not much worse than the Chinese dishes in terms of color, aroma and taste.

Murong Ji was drooling at the sight, but he could still hold it in. But Tu Shan Rongrong, who was standing next to him, felt a little embarrassed and wanted to dive into the food.

Murong Ji forcefully held down her restless hands and pretended to be relaxed while explaining the surrounding etiquette and regulations to her.

As he was talking, he felt hungry himself. He glanced around and saw that most people's attention was on the wedding banquet in front. So he quietly gathered his strength, secretly prepared some dishes, and put them into Tushan Rongrong's bowl.

Then he looked forward with some anticipation. Yang Yan's wedding ceremony was still going on. He didn't know when it would end. The process was indeed graceful, but in Murong Ji's opinion it was somewhat redundant.

"bump!"

There was a sudden loud noise at the door of Yang Mansion, as if it was kicked open by someone from outside.

Everyone was shocked and the wedding proceedings were interrupted. For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This was simply a slap in the face of the Yang family.

Even if they are mortal enemies, they would never attack someone in such a situation.

Murong Ji turned his head and looked at the side facing the main gate of Yang Mansion. The door of the reception room was closed and he could not see clearly who was coming.

“Who are you! How dare you come to my Yang Mansion to cause trouble!” The old head of the Yang family roared and looked at the gate with a murderous look on his face.

He was already feeling depressed because of his daughter's matter, and now someone was making things more difficult for him. How could he sit still?
"Hahaha, Mr. Yang, don't be so angry." The voice came from far behind the door, but it sounded friendly.

"Xiao Wancheng brought the younger generation of the Xiao family here specially to congratulate you, hahahaha."

As soon as the words fell, the entire reception room fell into silence. The old men sitting in the front row looked at each other, their faces becoming more and more gloomy, but they said nothing.

Patriarch Yang stood up and waved his hand, signaling the Yang family's maid to open the door over there.

The door was wide open, but it made people gasp. The person behind Xiao Wancheng was not a descendant of the Xiao family at all!
What came into view was a group of black-robed messengers. Under the black robes, they were wearing purple clothes. A faint golden magic sword was hanging on their waists. As they walked, it appeared and disappeared in the black robes. They were full of murderous intent and had bad intentions...

"Black Jade Supervisor!!"

After a moment of silence, the old Patriarch Yang stepped forward, with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face, and asked in a deep voice: "Master Xiao, today is a family matter of the Yang Mansion. I wonder why you brought people with swords to the door?!"

"Oh my, what a misunderstanding. It is normal for my subordinates to carry swords with them all the time. We were just in a hurry to congratulate Mr. Yang on his marriage."

While a few people were talking, Murong Ji glanced around and saw that the expressions of the heads of the various families around him were a little strange.

It seemed that they had expected the Xiao family to come, but it also seemed that they had no choice. Murong Ji had been away from Tianxuan City for a long time, and for a moment he was confused. Was this a setup or a coincidence...

But he was sure of one thing, that he had not been exposed yet. [It is not advisable to stay here for long! ] With this thought, Murong Ji decided to retreat.

I raised my head and looked at Xiao Wancheng again. He no longer had the righteousness I had seen before. He was cold and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a despicable villain. His temperament had changed so much that it was surprising.

[In the past year and a half, a lot has happened in the Dao League. ]

Lowering his head, Murong Ji began to think about how to escape. This trip was a bit hurried. He wanted to quietly attend Yang Yan's wedding and have a good meal at the same time.

Go to Wang Quan's house to see my mother again. Come quietly and leave quietly.

But if this trend continues, it seems that he may not be able to achieve what he wants.

Murong Ji's face became darker and darker. He thought carefully to see if there was any memory of the Yang family.

Unfortunately, his memory was fuzzy and he couldn't remember what happened exactly. But based on his experience, he could roughly guess what Xiao Wancheng was going to do.

Just based on this wedding banquet, the people invited by the Yang family even included the family that had confronted each other in front of the Chen Mansion, but the Xiao family was not included.

It is known that Yang Yan's wedding is not just a simple wedding, it is more like a game for the heads of the various families to win over and divide the power of the Xiao family.

The only families that can rival the Xiao family in prestige in the Taoist Alliance are the Wang Quan family and the Yang family. Wang Quan's humbleness is his last trump card, and it would be best if the Yang family took the lead.

After Murong Ji figured it out, he looked at the heads of the families again, and the expressions on their faces seemed much more reasonable. The current situation of the Xiao family was so bad that they were isolated from the world.

For any force, being isolated by everyone is an extremely terrible thing, and the downfall of the family is inevitable.

"Hmph! Xiao Wancheng, I know you have recently taken control of many sects of the Dao League, but taking a son-in-law and determining the status of the son-in-law do not violate the rules of the Dao League, right?"

"Mr. Yang has always been upright and honest. If you want to cause trouble for him, I, Li, will be the first one to disagree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Ji in the corner frowned in surprise. Although there was nothing wrong with what he said, he didn't get to the root of the problem. Or was this old man deliberately confusing people?
If it was Murong Ji who came to deal with the Yang family, his purpose must be to threaten the ruling status of the Xiao family, or he had received information about the situation.

The Wang Quan family is weak, and the only one who can compete with the Xiao family is the Yang family.

With this move, Xiao Wancheng completely crushed their goal... But, is it really that easy? !

"Hahaha! Mr. Li is right. But for the sake of Mr. Yang's lifelong reputation, I have to come this time." Xiao Wancheng's expression became more and more crazy, and he looked like a lunatic.

Murong Ji was not unfamiliar with this state, it was a precursor to becoming possessed.

Murong Ji chuckled. In this world's practice philosophy, there is no such thing as "going astray and becoming possessed by the devil".

However, it doesn't matter whether it exists or not, he doesn't care. For Murong Ji, the biggest task now is to survive.

"We cultivators can be poor, have low talents, and come from poor families, but we must not lose our backbone."

"Moreover, we must have justice in our hearts! What is justice?! Justice means never forgetting that we are human beings! Moreover, we must not forget the justice of the human race! There is an irreconcilable hatred between humans and monsters!"

"But today! There is a person who betrayed his race and colluded with monsters. He still dreams of becoming a phoenix and becoming the son-in-law of a wealthy family." A fierce look flashed across Xiao Wancheng's face, and his finger, which was originally raised high, pointed at the wooden man from a distance.

After the words fell, the whole place was silent for a moment. Then, a whispering sound like a drizzle broke out.

The elders in the lead suddenly realized that Xiao Wancheng had used the same method to perfection these days, and now he was targeting the Yang family.

Everyone feels more or less resentful, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Murong Ji sneered. It was a familiar scene and a familiar look.

It's just that Xiao Wancheng has a different attitude towards the Chen family and the Yang family. The Chen family is a dispensable small family, and there is no reason to frame them.

But the Yang family can't do that. The Yang family is no worse than his Xiao family in the Dao League, so there must be a reasonable reason. Starting with his son-in-law, Xiao Wancheng has put a lot of thought into it.
