BXBX NOVEL Chapter 301: Three Generations And Four Swords
Little Pagoda was silent.
Ye Guan pressed on. “Master Pagoda?”
Little Pagoda didn\'t respond.
Ye Guan went silent. Master Pagoda really has a penchant for pretending like he\'s deaf when it matters.
Ye Guan looked around in confusion. If it were his father or grandfather, Little Pagoda wouldn\'t have exclaimed just now. They had to be an unexpected visitor whom Little Pagoda was familiar with…
Who are they? Ye Guan was dying of curiosity.
Just then, Ye Qing shouted, “Brother Ye Guan!”
Ye Guan pushed aside his thoughts and looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing smiled and said, “Don’t get distracted now. Smile and wave at the crowd!”
Ye Guan grinned and looked around to find a boundless sea of people around him. The sea of people existed not just on the ground but up above as well.
Ye Guan’s wedding was today, so those willing to come would come. After all, it was an important occasion for the entire Guanxuan Universe.
As Ye Guan looked around, he saw many familiar faces. However, he failed to see his father or grandfather, making him feel puzzled. When would they come out? Perhaps they were staging a grand entrance for themselves?
Ye Guan couldn\'t help but laugh because his father and grandfather could actually do such a thing based on their personality.
Ye Guan turned to look to his right and saw a young woman. Upon seeing her, he called out gleefully and started waving his hands. “Big Sis!”
The young woman was none other than Ye An! Today, Ye An wasn\'t wearing her usual outfit, which was her crimson skirt. She was wearing a white skirt today embroidered with cloud prints. Her getup made her look less cool but more elegant.
Ye An\'s indifferent gaze landed on Ye Guan.
Ye An wasn\'t saying anything, so Ye Guan yelled, “Big Sis! I\'m here! Sis!”
Everyone was speechless.
Ye An glared at Ye Guan, and she waved her fists lightly to warn him.
Ye Guan chuckled at the warning; his sister was so fierce! If Master Pagoda were following his sister rather than him, he would have gotten smacked three times a day at the very least.
Ye Guan stopped annoying his sister and looked around.
Everyone cheered and congratulated him.
Ye Guan cupped his fist and expressed his gratitude to everyone.
Ye Guan looked up and saw several familiar figures above the clouds.
They were the members of the Yang Clan, Erya and Little White, along with Senior An.
Erya and Little White were licking their hawthorn candies.
Erya waved at Ye Guan and shouted, “Grandson, have a fantastic night!”
Ye Guan’s face darkened. He needed to find an opportunity to speak to Erya and make her change her way of addressing him. He found it really inappropriate for her to call him her grandson.
Swoosh!
Little White took out a ball-shaped object the size of a watermelon. She reached out to press the button on the ball-shaped object. Ye Guan’s eyelid twitched. What is she doing?
Thankfully, Erya stopped Little White in time.
Erya said, “You can set off fireworks, but not this one.”
Little White gesticulated with her claws.
Erya responded, “I know that this bomb is bigger and louder, but people will die if you use this.”
Little White blinked before gesturing with her claws.
Erya slapped her own forehead; her head was starting to hurt. “Goodness…”
Meanwhile, the procession finally arrived at the Ye Residence.
The journey wasn\'t that long, as the Nalan and Ye Residences weren\'t that far from each other.
Ye Xiao and the elders of the Ye Clan stood at the gates waiting for them.
Seeing Ye Guan, Ye Xiao’s face lit up. Ye Xiao then guided Ye Guan and Nalan Jia through the marriage procedure. Once they were done, Ye Guan held Nalan Jia\'s hand and entered the great hall of the Ye Residence.
Qin Guan was sitting on the main seat with a smile. She wasn\'t wearing her usual short sleeves and cotton skirt. Today, she was clad in a red gown, making her give off a festive air.
Ye Guan turned to Qin Guan’s left. The seat was empty.
Ye Guan’s heart sank. Will Father come or not?
He would get married today, so it would be a huge pity if his father failed to show up.
Actually, it wasn\'t just Ye Guan; everyone in the hall and the crowd outside were burning with anticipation. They were excited to see the Sword Master, and they thought it was a given that the Sword Master would come and witness his son\'s wedding.
In addition, Pavilion Master Qin was already here, so the Sword Master would definitely be here soon. Thus, many people eagerly waited for the appearance of the Sword Master, especially the people of Nanzhou.
They had never seen the Sword Master in person, and it made sense because Nanzhou was just a backwater province before Ye Guan\'s meteoric rise.
Despite that, it wouldn\'t be strange if the Sword Master still thought of Nanzhou as the same backwater province many years ago. However, Ye Guan had decided to get married here, so the Sword Master would definitely be here!
The crowd couldn\'t contain their excitement—meeting the Sword Master meant a lifetime\'s worth of boasting material.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan was staring at Qin Guan.
Ye Guan smiled as well upon seeing Qin Guan\'s light smile, and the stone weighing down on his chest vanished at that. Indeed, his father would definitely be here. It was just impossible for him to be missing on his son\'s wedding.
Without dwelling further on it, Ye Guan pulled Nalan Jia to stand in front of Qin Guan.
Buzz!
The buzzing of a sword abruptly pervaded the skies of Nanzhou.
The sound was so loud that everyone instantly deduced the swordsman\'s identity.
The gazes of everyone on the ground turned to the skies, and they saw a rift in spacetime being opened right before their eyes.
Swoosh!
A dazzling sword light tore the rift open, and a man slowly walked out of the rift.
The Sword Master!
The man had an extremely familiar face, so most of the powerful cultivators knelt amidst their excitement and shouted, "Greetings, Sword Master!”
The Sword Master was here. The combined volume of everyone\'s voices was so high that their voice spread across the world and parted the clouds in the skies. It wasn\'t exactly strange, as the Sword Master was the Guanxuan Universe\'s subject of devotion.
Mu Niannian looked at the Sword Master with a smile. Her younger brother was back.
Princess Xin grinned brightly upon seeing the Sword Master. Her heart felt warm to see the Sword Master, as it had been truly quite a while since she last saw the latter. The Sword Master now had a bed full of white hair, but he still looked as charming as ever.
Li Banzhi stared deeply at the Sword Master. The smile on her lips carried a hint of bitterness. She hadn\'t seen him for so many years, so she was surprised to see that he was still as handsome as ever.
Ye Guan broke out into a grin. My father is here!
The Sword Master waved his hand and said, "Please don\'t stand on ceremony, everyone. Please rise!"
He swept his sleeve, and a gentle force lifted everyone in the vicinity. With that, the Sword Master started walking toward the great hall of Ye Residence.
The Ye Clan members and cultivators hurriedly paid their respects; everyone in the Ye Residence was bubbling with excitement. The Sword Master was here; he had come to their residence!
The Ye Clan members and cultivators were convinced that they could boast of this encounter for at least ten lifetimes.
The Sword Master entered the great hall with a grin. He sat on Qin Guan\'s left, looking really happy as he swept his gaze across Nalan Jia and Ye Guan.
Buzz!
A buzzing noise echoed from outside the great hall.
Boom!
A ray of sword light struck the ground, creating a column of dazzling light that extended beyond the clouds. An inscrutable, oppressive aura that wasn\'t any weaker compared to the Sword Master\'s aura swept across everyone, shocking them.
Who is it?
How come they were so strong? Everyone cast curious gazes at the sky.
Rumble!
A rift in spacetime was torn open just then, and a blue-robed man walked out.
The blue-robed man laughed boisterously and shouted, “Son, grandson, I\'m here!”
Ye Guan and the Sword Master’s face darkened.
Son?
Grandson?
The blue-robed man was the Sword Master’s father? The onlookers were stupefied.
Most of the people here were unfamiliar with Sword Master Qingshan, but it made sense as Sword Master Qingshan was away more often than not during the Sword Master\'s era.
However, the Sword Sect was an exception—Sword Master Qingshan was their Ancestor, after all!
The disciples of the Sword Sect knelt and shouted, “Greetings, Ancestor!”
Sword Master Qingshan chuckled and said, “At ease!”
The disciples of the Sword Sect stood at ease and stared at the blue-robed man with thrilled eyes. They were aware of Sword Master Qingshan\'s existence, but the majority of them remained curious about him.
Just then, the blue-robed man said, “Go on; I won\'t go in.”
The people of the Ye Clan sighed in relief.
Today, Ye Guan was getting married, and the Sword Master was his father, which meant the Sword Master would sit at the main seats. If Sword Master Qingshan were to enter, he would have to sit ahead of the Sword Master, which would be a bit appropriate.
The Sword Master stared at Sword Master Qingshan and smiled. “Father, which wind blew you here today? I don’t remember seeing you around when I got married.”
Ye Guan’s face stiffened. Oh, no! Shit is about to get real!
The members of the Yang Family shook their heads and chuckled bitterly.
As usual, the father-and-son pair was bickering again.
Sword Master Qingshan retorted, “Well, you didn\'t invite me.”
The Sword Master was furious, and he said, “I actually have to invite my own father to my own wedding? Are you serious?”
Sword Master Qingshan\'s expression turned solemn at that, and he sounded serious as he said, “You know it was my first time being a father, and I\'m sure you finally understand my feelings at the time. You\'re also a father, after all."
The Sword Master was speechless.
Ye Guan also had no idea what to say. His grandfather was a tad bit ridiculous…
Sword Master Qingshan looked at Ye Guan and asked, “Am I right, my good grandson?”
Ye Guan\'s head throbbed in pain. His grandfather was truly a devious individual.
He had just arrived, but he had already thrown such a dangerous hot potato at him.
Sword Master Qingshan was about to say something when An Nanjing appeared next to him and reminded him. “Today is Little Guan’s wedding; you should not kick up a fuss.”
"Of course, I won\'t." Sword Master Qingshan smiled and replied, “Why would I do that?”
Sword Master Qingshan opened his palm, and two storage rings flew over to Ye Guan and Nalan Jia. “These are my wedding gifts.”
Ye Guan accepted the storage ring with a smile.“Thank you, Grandfather.”
Sword Master Qingshan chuckled. He then pulled An Nanjing to the side.
Ye Guan looked up, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
It seemed his aunt had decided to abstain from attending the wedding.
After a moment of silence, Ye Guan held Nalan Jia\'s hand as they walked toward the Sword Master and Qin Guan. They took deep breaths and got ready to bow when the shrill cry of a sword pervaded the skies.
Ye Guan turned and saw a rift in spacetime above them. A white-robed swordsman walked out of the rift.
Ye Guan froze and went silent. Who is he?
The Sword Master chuckled and explained, “He\'s my sworn brother; you can call him Uncle!”
Uncle!
Little Pagoda said, “He\'s as strong as your father and grandfather!”
Ye Guan instantly fixed his posture and cupped his fist in greeting. “Greetings, Uncle!”
The Unfettered Swordsman was surprised. He examined Ye Guan from top to bottom and smiled. “Your grandfather always talks about you, and it seems that he wasn\'t exactly exaggerating."
Ye Guan hurriedly said, “It\'s all because I inherited my family\'s excellent traits!”
"Pfft!"
Swordmaster Qingshan and the Sword Master burst out into laughter.
Even Little Pagoda was impressed. This brat is really good at licking boots.
The Unfettered Swordsman chuckled and said, “Actually, we\'ve already met.”
Ye Guan was stunned. “Where?”
The Unfettered Swordsman smiled but remained silent.
Little Pagoda chimed in, “Remember the stone stele in the Profound World?”
Ye Guan realized it then. He could still remember how he managed to make a breakthrough in the Profound World, all thanks to a few words on a stone stele that said—the world is vast, and those who wield the sword are free. A meter-long sword in hand, who cannot be killed?
Ye Guan could still vividly remember sensing the arrogance seeping out of those words.
The Unfettered Swordsman smiled and said, “You ought to get married first, and then we\'ll talk!”
With that, he moved to the side.
Ye Guan nodded. Soon, Ye Guan and Nalan Jia proceeded with the wedding ceremony.
Just then, the Path Sword inside of Ye Guan trembled, and the shrill cry of a sword pervaded the air above Nanzhou.
Rumble!
A woman wearing a plain skirt appeared above the clouds.
Ye Guan chuckled and exclaimed, “Aunt!”
The woman vanished before reappearing in front of Ye Guan and Nalan Jia.
She stared deeply at Ye Guan without saying anything.
"It\'s really good to see you here, Aunt!" Ye Guan exclaimed in excitement.
The woman nodded before walking over to Nalan Jia. She patted Nalan Jia with her right hand, and a soft sword glow entered Nalan Jia. She looked at Nalan Jia and explained, “From now on, I forbid anyone from killing you, so you\'ll be safe.”
Nalan Jia hurriedly bowed and said, “Thank you, Aunt.”
Ye Guan hurriedly said, “Aunt, how about me? Give me something, too…”
The woman glanced at him and said, “I have shit; do you want to eat it?”
With that, she turned around and stood next to the Sword Master without even waiting for Ye Guan\'s reply.
Ye Guan froze and went silent.
The Sword Master chortled and said, “All right, let the ceremony begin!”
Ye Guan nodded. He held Nalan Jia’s hand tightly; they were about to bow when—
“Haha!”
A peal of boisterous laughter echoed as a massive rift in spacetime appeared above everyone. A young man walked out of the rift, and his appearance caused the entire world to appear illusory. He was none other than Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao!
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao looked around and laughed. “Perfect! Everyone\'s here. This is really great! This means I can destroy you all at the same time. Hahaha!”
