Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 163: The picture shows the dagger
Fan Xian stood in front of the Prime Minister's residence for a long time, forcing himself to be brave.

During this time, the group members hid in the mirror space, winking and making faces at him.

Fan Xian was both annoyed and amused, but he couldn't show it and could only pretend not to see them.

But then again, thanks to the group members, Fan Xian's attention was diverted a lot, and he finally got through this tacky ceremony and saw the wife he had been longing for.

After a round of ceremonial music, the gates of the Prime Minister's residence slowly opened again.

Two matchmakers led the bride, Lin Wan'er, out.

Today, Lin Wan'er was dressed in bright red, with layers of sleeves and skirt, like the red glow of the evening, beautiful and joyful. As she walked, the ornaments on her body jingled softly, and the jade belt at her waist hung down, making her figure as graceful as a willow, gentle and elegant.

Seeing this, the group members stopped making jokes and looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces.

The Kyoto residents who were watching the spectacle were immediately intrigued and started shouting.

Some young people even shouted loudly, urging the bride to lift the red cloth so everyone could see.

If it were just a bunch of jeers, no one would care on such a joyous occasion. But some reckless fools had no sense of propriety when they spoke, causing Lin Yu to frown and give them a dismissive glance.

In an instant, an invisible force surged into their bodies, sealing off some of their acupoints and rendering them unable to make a sound.

Of course, a few careless words wouldn't make them mute for the rest of their lives.

Lin Yu acted with great restraint, only silencing them for three days as a small punishment.

Fan Xian noticed the disappearance of those voices in the crowd and immediately glanced at Lin Yu gratefully.

Lin Yu smiled and gestured for him to go forward and greet the bride.

Unfortunately, the Qing Kingdom also had a set of routine procedures for welcoming the bride.

After this procedure was completed, Lin Wan'er, dressed in red, gently stepped into the wedding sedan chair.

Throughout the entire process, Fan Xian didn't manage to exchange a single word with her, make a single glance, or even have any physical contact with her, which truly disappointed the onlookers.

……

Upon returning to the Fan residence, guests had already arrived, and music and ceremony filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

The bride was first led to the bridal chamber to sit down, while the groom, Fan Xian, stood in the main hall, smiling and talking with the guests.

This was the proper procedure for a wedding in a prominent family. Lin Yu did not step forward to disturb them. He simply led his group to sit in the VIP seats, ignoring the high-ranking officials and nobles around them, and continued to toast, chat, and laugh on their own.

Under the same repelling spell used in the New York Temple, no one around them could detect their presence.

But whenever they pass by, they will deliberately go around it, and they don't find this behavior strange at all.

Seeing this, Fan Ruoruo, who had deliberately kept Lin Yu out of her sphere of influence, was secretly alarmed.

After a moment's thought, she decisively stood up and sat down at the table where Lin Yu and the other six were.

Sure enough, as soon as she sat down, the Prince Jing's son, who had been stealing glances at her, immediately looked blank, as if he couldn't find her anywhere, and scanned the bustling Fan residence.

Fan Ruoruo exclaimed in amazement, "How did you do that?"

Lin Yu said casually, "It's just a little magic, nothing special."

"I see……"

Fan Ruoruo nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized what he meant and stared at him in astonishment, saying:

"what?!"

"Spell?!"

Although she had long suspected Lin Yu and the others' identities, this was the first time she had received official confirmation from them!
Lin Yu smiled, not answering directly, but instead glancing at the Prince Jing's heir not far away and asking, "Don't you like him?"

Fan Ruoruo calmed down and looked at the group members at the table, whose faces were different but mostly smiling and kind. She said softly, "The Prince of Jing is a talented man in the capital. It is Ruoruo who is not good enough for him."

Yun Ye nodded and said, "I understand, I just don't like it!"

Su Haoming, standing nearby, chuckled and said, "Ruoruo, don't be shy. With Brother Lin here, they can't hear what you're saying. If you don't like something, just say so. You're Lao Fan's own sister, so your brothers will definitely stand up for you!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fan Ruoruo's heart stirred.

After a moment's hesitation, she said in a low voice, "But I heard that the emperor intends to bestow a marriage upon me, I..."

"So what?" Su Haoming said nonchalantly, "Just say the word, sister, and I'll immediately go to the palace and have a good talk with that Emperor Qing!"

Fan Ruoruo was startled upon hearing this and quickly said, "That won't do!"

She only wanted to ask her brother and his mysterious friends what methods they had to escape the emperor's arranged marriage, but she never thought of encouraging them to risk breaking into the palace and directly questioning the emperor!
Lin Yu and the other group members exchanged glances, then said with a smile, "Alright, Xiao Su, stop teasing her!"

"Ruoruo, don't worry. Fan Xian already has a plan for this. Just decline and leave the rest to your brother!"

Fan Ruoruo paused slightly, then nodded as if she understood.

Afterwards, Fan Ruoruo hid among the group members, avoiding the crowd and their gazes, and truly enjoyed a period of peace and quiet.

Fan Xian and the guests toasted and drank for a while, then Fan Xian came over and sat down next to his sister.

Su Haoming and Yun Ye raised their glasses with smiles, letting him know that the groom was no match for his sister-in-law and had nowhere to run away.

Fan Xian doesn't mind drinking; what he minds is who he drinks with.

He accepted all the toasts offered by his group members, knowing that with his magical powers, he could easily metabolize the alcohol simply by circulating his energy throughout his body. After drinking around the room, Fan Xian frowned, looking at the wine cups with disdain, and said:
"What kind of lousy wine is this? Does it even deserve my brother Lin's status?"

"..."

Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then said irritably, "Just say what you want to drink, don't beat around the bush!"

"Big brother really understands me!" Fan Xian gave a thumbs up and said expectantly, "Do you still have cherry blossom wine in the Moonlight Shop window? I'd prefer the kind made from icicle cherry blossoms. I'd like to take a bottle to use when we drink the nuptial wine!"

"You're quite picky..."

"Hehe, I tried it at the Moonlight Shop window a couple of days ago, and it really tastes good."

Just like the real taste that you care about!
Lin Yu mentally complained, while simultaneously flipping his right hand and conjuring up four glass bottles the size of oil drums, which he then placed on the table.

The moment the stopper was opened, a slightly cool and delicate fragrance immediately filled the air.

Fan Xian's eyes lit up. He immediately raised his hand and used his magic to draw some of the light blue wine, storing it in the small bottle he had taken out, and carefully put it into his storage bag.

"Brother, you too—"

Fan Ruoruo stared wide-eyed at her brother with an incredulous expression.

Fan Xian glanced at her, raised his hand to pat her head, and said gently:
"You'll know sooner or later, and today is a good day!"

As he spoke, he poured his sister a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Try it. This is a rare delicacy that you can't find in Qing Kingdom. After drinking it, I guarantee your skin will be fair, delicate, smooth, and as clear as jade!"

Oh?
Fan Ruoruo's eyes lit up, and she even forgot about the question from before, hurriedly picking up her wine glass.

"This younger sister toasts all my brothers!"

"Ha ha!"

The group members couldn't help but laugh and raised their glasses.

Lin Lie, standing next to Fan Xian, tugged at him and asked with a wink, "When are you going to hold the wedding ceremony?"

Fan Xian's smile froze, and he complained, "It's still early. I heard from them that we'll have to wait until at least the afternoon."

It's only just past noon, which means there are still at least two or three hours left!
He Jingfeng and Lin Lie exchanged a glance, both of them showing sympathy.

……

……

After several rounds of drinks, the group members had a good time relaxing and sharing in Fan Xian's joy.

During the banquet, Fan Ruoruo drank a lot of wine made from icy cherry blossoms and got so drunk that she collapsed on the table, almost missing the most important part of the wedding ceremony.

Fortunately, Lin Yu intervened and helped her get rid of the smell of alcohol, which allowed her to witness her brother's wedding.

Finally, the time for the wedding ceremony arrived. Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er held the two ends of the red silk ribbon and gazed at each other tenderly through the red cloth.

Such a cheesy scene sent chills down the spines of the group members, who couldn't help but rant and rave in the group chat.

Fan Ruoruo, on the other hand, was deeply moved, her eyes reddening and brimming with tears...

Because many officials and dignitaries came to witness the ceremony, the group members only complained in the group chat and did not cause any trouble on the surface. They just quietly watched Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er pay their respects to heaven and earth and to their parents.

After this part of the ceremony, gifts from all sides arrived one after another.

Among the gifts were not only congratulatory gifts from the empresses of the palace, but also a large amount of wealth bestowed upon the couple by Emperor Qing, as well as the four characters "May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years" written by the emperor himself.

Such courtesy was like a bombshell, making the officials of the six ministries look even more serious.

However, Fan Xian himself, who received the congratulatory gifts, showed no interest in them.

Even when it was written by the emperor himself, there was no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

Finally, amidst joyous music, the marriage between the Fan and Lin families was finalized.

The newlyweds were led to their bridal chamber under the smiling gaze of Si Nanbo Fan Jian, and the guests began to gradually leave.

Fan Xian chased away his father and aunt, dismissed the maids and servants, and then pulled out his younger brother Fan Sizhe, who was hiding under the bed. Only then did he close the door to the bridal chamber and walk up to the bride.

Noticing the shadow in front of her, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but clench her hands, which were hanging on her knees.

Her pink lips, hidden beneath the red veil, were lightly bitten, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she felt both apprehensive and expectant about what was about to happen.

Strangely, after Fan Xian walked up to her, he did nothing. Instead, he stood quietly for a long time until she was about to take matters into her own hands, at which point he finally reached out and lifted the red cloth.

Accompanied by the rustling sound of silk rubbing together, Lin Wan'er held her breath, nervously opened her eyes, and then—she saw Fan Xian and the six strange-looking young men behind him.

"what--"

Before the scream could escape her lips, Fan Xian quickly covered them with his hand and said with a wry smile:
"Shh, Wan'er, don't get excited. Do you remember Brother Lin I told you about?"

"..."

Lin Wan'er was slightly taken aback, then her face turned bright red, and she whispered, "It's them?"

"Not bad!"

Fan Xian embraced his new wife and said with a smile, "Believe me, now is the real gift-giving part. We can skip the usual formalities, but the gifts from my six friends are absolutely essential!"
