Su Qing had intended to throw it to the little girl, and was happy when she caught it.
Zhang Xiaoqiang knew what his wife was thinking, but he was also very happy that the little girl caught the bouquet.
After the festive event ended, the two also came down from the stage.
Seeing this, everyone swarmed around to congratulate them.
"Congratulations to Sect Leader Zhang on your wedding."
"Congratulations to Sect Leader Zhang on your wedding."
"Congratulations to Sect Leader Zhang on your wedding."
"..."
Su Lai and Da Hu were not in a hurry to go up and offer their blessings.
Qiangzi had his hands full now.
Going up would only be adding to the chaos, especially with so many people.
Returning gifts one by one was a long process.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Su Qing were busy until half past six in the evening.
Su Lai and Da Hu were not in a hurry and waited all along.
It wasn't until dusk, when the guests had mostly retired to their prepared rooms to sleep, that Zhang Xiaoqiang finally got a breather.
Su Lai looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had been busy all day, and teased, "Qiangzi, your wedding is really tiring."
Zhang Xiaoqiang sighed helplessly, "Alas, there's no other way."
Su Qing, standing beside them, stroked the little girl's head and smiled, "Little one, have you been waiting too long?"
Yu Yijun shook her head, a smile appearing on her chubby little face, "No, Auntie Su Qing looks so beautiful today."
Su Qing gently pinched Yu Yijun's cheek, happily saying, "Little one, you have such a sweet mouth."
Su Lai coughed dryly and slowly said, "Shall we start now?"
Da Hu didn't speak, but looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang beside him.
Zhang Xiaoqiang immediately said, "Let's!"
Without a word, the three of them filled their cups, clinked them together, and drank them dry.
Just then, a disciple suddenly walked over and whispered a few words into Zhang Xiaoqiang's ear.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang's brows furrowed slightly, and he then said, "Guests are guests. Send them some food and wine to share in the joy."
"Yes."
The disciple replied and turned to leave.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Su Lai and the other two again, raised his wine cup, and smiled, "Come, let's keep drinking!"
Seeing the situation, Su Lai asked, "Did something happen?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head and smiled, "What could happen? Come, we won't go home until we're drunk today."
Su Lai's expression instantly turned serious.
Seeing his expression, Zhang Xiaoqiang had no choice but to explain, "A disciple just reported that there are over two hundred people from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau down the mountain."
"People from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau?"
Su Lai was a little surprised, "What are the people from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau doing here?"
Da Hu, standing beside them, said, "They're probably here to prevent an attack from the Divine Cult, right?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded in agreement, "Da Hu is right. The martial world is in turmoil now. On this joyous day, our defenses are bound to be weak. They're probably worried about an attack from the Divine Cult."
Su Lai nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense."
The Supernatural Affairs Bureau sending over two hundred people would have no other purpose than to prevent an attack from the Divine Cult.
"That's not right. When did the Divine Cult become so diligent?"
Su Lai was full of doubt. He had never heard of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau ever deploying people alone to act as guards for a sect.
Da Hu was also puzzled and shook his head, "I don't know."
Zhang Xiaoqiang seemed to have thought of something, but a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Who knows? But since they're kindly offering help, we naturally have to send them some food and wine."
Su Lai and the other two nodded in agreement.
The three of them started drinking again.
It wasn't until four in the morning that the three of them finished their drinks.
Su Qing coaxed the little girl to sleep before coming out to support the already unconscious Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Perhaps it was because they hadn't drunk with Qiangzi for a long time, but the two of them drank a lot and were now fast asleep on the table.
As for Zhang Xiaoqiang, he hadn't gotten drunk in a long time. With his two old friends present, he was now completely insensible.
Su Qing first instructed the disciples to help Da Hu and Su Lai to their rooms to rest, and then helped Zhang Xiaoqiang back to their room.
For the next two days.
Zhang Xiaoqiang dealt with guests during the day and got drunk with Su Lai at night.
In the afternoon.
After this last meal, all the guests left one after another.
Su Lai and Da Hu planned to depart the next day.
After seeing everyone off, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the disciple beside him and asked, "Have the meals for the brothers from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau down the mountain been sent?"
The disciple nodded, "They have been sent."
Zhang Xiaoqiang grunted and then instructed, "Today is the last day. Send some more wine down and tell them they've worked hard these past two days."
"Yes."
The disciple nodded and left.
Su Lai turned to Su Qing, a smile on his face, and said, "Wife, help me pack some food and get two pots of my stored wine."
Hearing this, Su Qing looked a little confused, "Are you going to see someone?"
He usually instructed his disciples to handle things, but calling her personally now meant he was going to see a very important friend.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not answer, but smiled and said, "To see someone."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqiang was not going to explain, Su Qing did not ask further and turned to prepare the food.
A moment later, Su Qing had packed the food and brought two pots of good wine.
Zhang Xiaoqiang took the wooden box and the two pots of wine without saying a word, turned, and walked outside.
On the summit of the back mountain, Yu Daochen had been guarding there for three days.
"Have all the sects that attended the wedding left?"
If the Divine Cult didn't attack today, they wouldn't attack anymore.
His mission was also complete.
However, the more this was the case, the more uneasy he felt.
If it was just Du Yong who had betrayed them, he would definitely seize this opportunity to collude with the Divine Cult from inside and outside to attack the Yan Shu Sect.
If not, then perhaps Zhang Xiaoqiang might be with...
Thinking of this, Yu Daochen shook his head again, dismissing the thought.
The sun hung at the peak of the mountain, its afterglow dyeing the surrounding clouds red.
Yu Daochen looked into the distance and slowly said, "Why have you come here?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked slowly towards him, a forced smile on his face, "Today is the last day. Don't you want to have one last meal?"
Yu Daochen turned to look at Zhang Xiaoqiang. He was wearing a suit again, but it was vastly different from before.
Especially in terms of his demeanor.
Yu Daochen shook his head and smiled, "No, I should be leaving tomorrow."
"That won't do."
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked over, carrying the wooden box and two pots of wine, "A guest is a guest. On such a joyous occasion, how can we let a guest leave without a meal?"
He had long guessed that it was Yu Daochen who had called the Supernatural Affairs Bureau to guard the place.
The two sat cross-legged facing each other, their eyes meeting, neither intending to speak.
The air became quiet at this moment.
A gentle breeze blew across their faces. Yu Daochen smiled and blessed him, "Happy wedding."
"Thank you."
Zhang Xiaoqiang replied, opened the wooden box, and took out the dishes one by one, "The road up the mountain is not short. Eat it while it's hot. It will lose its flavor if it gets cold later."
