Counterattack from Douba

Chapter 445
In the entire Xuankong Continent, only the Holy Land of the Immortal Kingdom can hold down the Ancient Emperor's family. Among the two holy lands, the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Buddhas is an outsider, and has never participated in worldly disputes.

Among the three great immortal kingdoms, Baxian Kingdom is a subsidiary force of Xuantian Holy Land, Sword Immortal Kingdom and Baxian Kingdom have always been hostile, and Baihua Immortal Kingdom is a kingdom of daughters, and its Buddhist system is comparable to that of Ten Thousand Buddhas Holy Land.

Once the goal is determined, it will be easier to handle, at least you can prepare the way to deal with it in advance.

The most important thing right now is to ensure a smooth wedding. For this, the Gudi family must have made sufficient preparations.

However, in order to be on the safe side, Zeng Xiaoshi asked the Beast God to send an order for the Eight Great Beast Clan Supremes of Yinwu Mountain to dispatch together to help out.

On the second day, the ceremony of winning the lottery was held in the Great Hall of the Ancient Clan. There were high-level members of the Gu Clan and some distinguished guests who had good friends with the Gu Clan. It was very grand.

There are a total of "six ceremonies" in the wedding ceremony in Xuankong Continent, namely Nacai, Asking Names, Najibun, Nacai (betrothal gift), choosing a date, and welcoming in person. Among them, the first four rites are engagement ceremonies, and the last two rites are marriage ceremonies.

But Zeng Xiaoshi's situation is different from others, except for accepting the lottery and personally welcoming, the rest were completed by the old Taoist priest during the engagement ceremony.

So, now he only needs to finish winning the lottery, and then he can get married.

Early in the morning, he and Gu Yuan put on their gowns, and after finishing their preparations, they walked towards the Gu Clan Hall.

Countless crowds of people watching the ceremony gathered along the way, and it was extremely lively. Under the eyes of everyone, the two entered the ancient clan hall.

In the main hall, there are hundreds of people sitting, each one's cultivation level is no less than that of a Martial Saint.

Especially the dozen or so people sitting right in front of the main hall, each of them has an extraordinary bearing, and they are all bigwigs.

The two in the middle are Gu Qingfeng and his wife. Gu Qingfeng and Zeng Xiaoshi have already met, and they are as detached as last night.

Gu Qingfeng's wife, named Ning Yuhua, was from a top eighth rank faction in the Eastern Immortal Territory. Although she was over fifty years old, she had a radiant appearance, dignified and noble, and she must have been a first-class beauty back then.

And her cultivation has reached the level of a half-immortal, but it is different from Gu Qingfeng, only a junior half-immortal.

Behind the two of them, sat the eight elders of the ancient clan, all of whom were above seven-star martial saints, and around them, there were no less than 50 martial saints wearing ancient costumes.

On both sides of Gu Qingfeng and his wife, there are several distinguished guests sitting on each side, each with their own characteristics, which are easy to identify.

Among these people are the leaders of the three major organizations in the ancient domain, including the Alchemy Alliance, the Artifact Refining Association, and the Immortal Ancient Merchant Alliance.

In Xuankong Continent, there are four major organizations: Alchemist Alliance, Artifact Refining Masters Guild, Immortal Ancient Merchant Alliance, and Immortal Shadow.

These four organizations are in charge of the most abundant cultivation resources. Don't dare to offend them easily.

In addition, there are also powerhouses of ninth-rank forces such as Tianjimen and Xuanyuan Family, each of whom has a high level of cultivation, which is moving.

The moment Zeng Xiaoshi and the other two stepped into the hall, the discussion in the hall suddenly stopped, and all eyes were on Zeng Xiaoshi.

"He is the son-in-law of the Gu family? Why can't he see his cultivation?"

"The people next to him should be the ones who came to present the prize, but they are only one-star Martial Saints. Isn't that too low?"

"After all, he came from a small place, what kind of decent master can he get?"

"Yes, I heard that this young man is an orphan with a rough life experience, and he has been staying in a small place called Dakang Kingdom before."

"However, I've heard that he's flourishing in the Northern Continent, and even established a force called Martial God Palace, so he has some skills."

"Hehe, the Northern Continent is just a barren land. Even a low-star martial saint can dominate, so they just toss about in such a place."

Although everyone cared about the face of the Gu family, there were still some people whispering about it.

For this marriage, they are not very optimistic.

After all, Zeng Xiaoshi's background is too low, and his reputation is not obvious, so it is really difficult to compare with a super family like the Gu family.

And the so-called Xianjiemen has disappeared in Xuankong Continent for thousands of years, except for a few old antiques, most people have never even heard of it.

Therefore, in their minds, Zeng Xiaoshi was just a bumpkin from the countryside. Given their preconceived notions, they inevitably felt contemptuous.

Facing the imposing manner and eyes of the heroes, Zeng Xiaoshi was calm and composed, stepped forward slowly, and saluted: "Junior Zeng Xiaoshi, brought the housekeeper Gu Yuan to come to accept the lottery. I have met my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and all seniors."

Gu Yuan was behind him, and followed suit. After a few salutes, he took a few steps forward and handed the dowry to Gu Song, the elder of the Gu family who was in charge of accepting the gifts.

Six rings plus a list of betrothal gifts were packed in an exquisite gift box.

Gu Song took the gift box, and casually took out the gift list to prepare for singing.

However, when he saw the content on the gift list, his eyes suddenly widened, his face was full of astonishment, his hands trembled a little, and he couldn't make any sound anymore.

When the people around saw this scene, they were filled with all kinds of speculations, and started discussing again.

"What's wrong with Elder Gu Song? Doesn't he know the name on the gift list?" Someone asked suspiciously.

The person next to him shook his head, "I guess the level of the gift is too low for Elder Gu Song to open his mouth."

"To be able to surprise Elder Gu Song like this, this kid's gift must be a big surprise. I really can't wait to know the answer."

The eyes of the good-for-nothing are full of ridicule, which can shock Elder Gu Song, if the treasure is not too good, then it must be too bad.

"Elder Gu, quickly take out the treasure, let's open our eyes!" Someone's eyes were beating with excitement.

"Yes, Elder Gu, the future uncle of the Gu family must have prepared a very brilliant gift for you, tell us quickly."

Seeing people booing around, Gu Song clenched the gift box more tightly, moved his lips, but didn't know what to say.

The scene was a little awkward.

The people of the Gu clan looked at Zeng Xiaoshi with a bit of unkindness, this kid unexpectedly presented such a big problem to Elder Gu Song, this is a slap in the face of the Gu clan!

Gu Qingfeng's heart also skipped a beat, what the hell did this kid do, it really didn't occur to him that he could embarrass the always steady Gu Song like this.

Ning Yuhua, the wife of the patriarch next to him, looked at Gu Song, and said in a deep voice, "Gu Song, why haven't you reported the list of gifts?"

"Ma'am, this..." Sweat dripped from Gu Song's face, he turned his gaze to Gu Qingfeng, and winked, "Patriarch, why don't you report it!"

"What?" Gu Qingfeng was a little dazed. Could Gu Song, who has always been prudent, really say this?
It's over, this kid must have screwed up the bride price.

Gu Qingfeng gave Zeng Xiaoshi a hard look, thinking about how to smooth things over.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ning next to her suddenly shouted angrily: "Gu Song, report the gift list!"
