Chapter 1027: Rescue Hou Jingwu
The lords of the major sect families and powers all entered the grand hall of Jiu Hua Sect, while their attendants, along with the ordinary disciples of Jiu Hua Sect, took their seats outside.
In this great hall, the various Elders and stewards of the Jiu Hua Sect gathered; one might say all the experts of the Spirit Sea Realm and above from the entire Jiu Hua Sect were here.
At the foremost sat Xie Yuquan and the Second Elder, both donned in festive red robes for the occasion. Arranged on either side of them were rows of chairs and tables where the representatives from the attending powers settled down.
"First, I would like to express Jiu Hua Sect’s gratitude to all friends who have gone to great lengths to join my daughter’s wedding," Xie Yuquan said as he stood and addressed everyone present.
He rose and spoke directly to the crowd.
"Sect Leader Xie is too kind. As the esteemed Sect Leader of Jiu Hua Sect, who commands the vast Jiu Hua Sect with its thousands of disciples, how could we not come to celebrate such an important event as your daughter’s wedding?"
A Sect Leader from a first-class Sect remarked with a smile on his face.
The others agreed with him, one after another.
"Thank you all for coming. Now, let’s wait patiently for the bride and groom to make their entrance," the Second Elder suddenly announced.
Xie Yuquan’s eyes flickered for a moment, but he said nothing and sat down.
In Die Wu’s room, she was dressed in a festive red bridal gown, her eyes sparkling with a trace of pain.
"Jing Wu, I’m sorry. For my mother’s sake, I had to do this. I hope you can forgive me," Die Wu muttered to herself, a tear rolling down from her eye.
