NOVPUB"These forces are certainly wealthy, having given so many wedding gifts..."
Zhao Gang glanced at the gift list, expressing his amazement.
By then, the combined value of the wedding gifts from all the great forces had already exceeded a billion Spirit Crystals.
With this rate, it was feared that after the wedding, even if the total value of the gifts they received did not reach two billion Spirit Crystals, it would not be much less.
Though these Spirit Crystals were far less than what they had earned from the Northeast King or their investment in this venture, it was merely the powers on a slightly better administrative star of the Kodis Empire.
Well... possibly, along with some powers on surrounding administrative stars.
Like those forces that had economic transactions with the forces on this administrative star. After hearing about this event, they reported to their headquarters and dispatched representatives to participate.
Like those forces wishing purely to curry favor with Fang Ao, or to avoid offending him.
That being said, it was still astounding.
"No wonder, during our time on Earth, many civil officials enjoyed hosting banquets for their weddings, their children’s weddings, their birthdays, their children’s births, children’s, centenarians, children’s birthdays, children’s good exam performances, relative’s funerals, annually, biannually, triennially...
They even hosted banquets on Sundays, each one bringing substantial income..." Zhao Gang shook his head, feeling nostalgic.
He was unaware, it was precisely the grandeur of the wedding he had organized that had compelled these forces not to offer meager gifts. Had he known, his reaction would have been something else.
Indeed, on Earth, there were people who kept playing these kinds of tricks in various creative ways to receive more gifts.
However, Zhao Gang didn’t take these gifts to heart.
He simply desired to make Lin Yun’s wedding better.
The expenses were hefty, but compared to Lin Yun’s income speed, it was insignificant.
"The wedding begins..."
"We welcome the brides and grooms, the bridesmaids and groomsmen to the floor..."
"We welcome the family members of the bride and groom to the floor..."
On the wedding stage, a host kept chanting with a smile.
The gentle wedding music sounded heavenly.
On the stage, in the center, Lin Yun, Lin Mengmeng, and Xia Qingqing, hand in hand, stood shoulder to shoulder.
Behind them followed a group of handsome groomsmen and beautiful bridesmaids.
In front of them, families from all three sides were settled, every face beaming with a smile.
Further out, Lin Yun’s core subordinates, either smiling or appearing awestruck, bestowed blessings, looking at Lin Yun, Lin Mengmeng, and Xia Qingqing.
Representatives of some great forces either sat not far away, downstairs or upstairs, at various viewing seats. Stay tuned to freewebnovel
Even though many viewing seats were quite distant, most of them had excellent vision and could clearly see the wedding ceremony.
Those who couldn’t, could open the virtual projection before them, and the wedding scene would appear before their eyes, very clear.
This wedding was attended by nearly a million spectators.
Those who couldn’t sit in the nearby viewing seats had been arranged in this way.
Outside the building.
Projections of the wedding appeared in the sky all over the administrative star.
This wedding was supported by all the powers on this administrative star. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
After the end of the wedding, within three days, all goods on this administrative star would be discounted by at least thirty percent, a joint decision made by all forces.
The equivalent of universal celebration.
"What a luxurious wedding..."
"Heavens! It’s so dreamy!"
"Are these the fellow townsmen of imperial envoy Fang Ao? They look a bit different from us, but they are so good-looking..."
"Indeed, particularly the two brides, so beautiful..."
"It’s a pity, our social standing is insufficient, we can’t be on the scene to witness it, it would be amazing if we could just take a look on the spot..."
"It’s said that only the Viscounts have the privilege to be on the spot, even the first-class Barons are not eligible..."
"If the first-class Barons are not qualified, it’s unthinkable for us commoners. However, it’s understandable, given the venue’s limited capacity..."
"More than that, have you seen the wine glasses there? A relative of mine followed a lord who was eligible to enter the scene, it’s said, a single wine glass was worth ten Spirit Crystals, not Imperial Coins. Ten Spirit Crystals equivalent to one hundred thousand Imperial Coins, that’s what a commoner could earn from working for several years..."
"My God! A single wine glass worth a hundred thousand Imperial Coins, numerous like them were seen in the projection! How much would they all sum up to? If I could go in and take away one wine glass, just one would be enough..."
"It’s precisely because of this kind of thinking from the likes of you that we commoners can’t get in..."
"What are wine glasses? Did you see those white jade ornaments? It’s said by some prominent figures that any one of them is worth over a thousand Spirit Crystals, which exceeds the money we could earn in our entire lives..."
Many ordinary people all over this administrative star openly expressed their sentiments, discussing the value of many items at the wedding scene, extremely excited.
Wealth moves the heart, men die for wealth, birds perish for food.
Undeniably, this saying held true in many places.
It was applicable on Earth, and here as well.
The value of many items at the wedding scene made many people extremely excited.
...
"Hm? Fang Keqing, he’s not sitting in the main seat, instead standing respectfully on the side? What’s happening?"
"Respect in his eyes, it’s definitely genuine..."
"Could it be, the bride and groom of this wedding have a higher social status than Fang Ao?"
"Fang Ao isn’t the leader of that battleship?"
As this wedding progressed, some representing the forces at the scene, suddenly witnessing this scene, shivered, shocked by what they saw.
Fang Ao was an early stage tenth level cultivator, even within the entire Kodis Empire, he was an exceptional existence. His power, social status was unimaginable.
Fang Ao wasn’t the leader of this team, Fang Ao was respectful towards others, such things greatly shocked them.
"Could it be, the groom or the bride of this wedding was a member of the noble family that Fang Keqing had originally served? Even though Fang Ao has evolved into the early stages of the tenth level, he’s still much loyal to this noble family?"
Suddenly, one person pondered, surmising.
"Very likely so, being a powerful subordinate, he’s not betrayed his noble house, remained loyal all this time, such things are not unheard of..." One person nodded.
"However, Fang Ao isn’t just some ordinary powerful figure, he’s an early stage tenth level cultivator, an exceptional existence in the entire Kodis Empire..." One person frowned.
"Not necessarily, a tenth level cultivator in the Kodis Empire who is still loyal to his noble house, isn’t an anomaly. Just like the guest Mr. Moer muta..." One person shook his head.
"It seems, it should be so."
"No wonder, this wedding, Fang Ao’s investment is so massive, even if it was his own son’s wedding, an average person wouldn’t be this extravagant, but if it’s a direct descendant of the noble family he pledges loyalty to, there is no problem."
Many people were nodding in agreement.
Everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation.
No wonder they thought so, a tenth level cultivator in the Kodis Empire, with his status, position, and power was exceptional. They couldn’t think of any other possibilities.
In the entire Kodis Empire, there were only about a dozen or so openly known tenth level cultivators.
The possibility of Fang Ao being defeated and then subdued was minimal.
Perhaps, the Kodis Royal Family had the ability to do so, but the royal family wouldn’t do so lightly.
Because, such subdued persons would be hard to control and could easily lead to the royal family losing popular support.
They couldn’t see any signs of royal descendants in this team either.
Besides, the appearance of these people noticeably differed from humans in the Kodis Empire.
