Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7409
Chapter 7323: The Grand Wedding!
“I’ve decided to join the war, to fight for the Heavenly Emperor Sect,” Li Tianming said resolutely, his eyes burning with determination.
Li Chaoxi laughed, “Haha, good! A young man with fighting spirit, very good! Then let’s see how you help our Heavenly Emperor Sect win honor and return victorious.”
“I can guarantee that I will do my best,” Li Tianming replied with a smile.
“However… are you sure you don’t need to discuss this with your wife? After all, this not only requires you to remarry, but also involves taking risks,”
Li Dixiao said, his gaze deep and unfathomable. Li Tianming smiled slightly, “This is my decision, and she knows it, so Uncle Xiao doesn’t need to worry about that.”
“That’s good.” Li Dixiao nodded, then added somewhat seriously, “However, I do value this marriage quite a bit, so there are a few things you need to pay attention to.” “
Father, it’s just a fake marriage, what’s there to value? I don’t even care that he has so many wives,” Li Chaoxi said nonchalantly.
“One thing at a time. You two haven’t known each other for very long, so you might not have those feelings for each other yet, which I can understand.” Li Dixiao’s expression was slightly serious. He paused and then said, “However, marriage is a serious matter, and we are a respectable family. So no matter what you think in your hearts, apart from the three of us, in everyone’s heart, you are husband and wife, understand?”
He said these words to Li Chaoxi, but in reality, he was also speaking to Li Tianming.
At this moment, Li Dixiao looked at Li Tianming again and said, “Tianming, this is my only request of you. Can you do it? Only if you can do this can our plan proceed to the next step.”
“I have absolutely no problem with that. In short, no matter what your true situation is, you must act ‘real’ to outsiders, right?” Li Tianming seemed very frank, but then added, “However, this matter is related to Senior Sister Chaoxi’s reputation. I think Senior Sister Chaoxi’s opinion is more important, after all, whether it’s a real or fake marriage, it will affect her.”
“I have no problem with that either. I don’t care about love and romance, as long as I can become stronger.” Li Chaoxi said seemingly indifferently.
Seeing this, Li Dixiao smiled and said, “It’s normal for you young people to have your own ideas, but ideas can change sometimes. When you grow up a bit more, you might have different ideas.”
“Dad, you’re making such a silly joke again. Whose ideas can change? Mine won’t change for a hundred million years!” Li Chaoxi glared.
“Tianming, please excuse my rudeness. Xi’er is just like that; she doesn’t have any bad intentions. She even praises you to me every day.” Li Dixiao smiled helplessly at Li Tianming.
“I understand, Uncle Xiao. I didn’t take it to heart.” Li Tianming said with a smile.
“That’s good.” Li Dixiao smiled gently.
At this moment, Sui Shenyao said in a somewhat strange tone in Li Tianming’s ear, “Why does it feel like Li Chaoxi’s father hopes you two will take your fake relationship and become a real couple?”
Li Tianming responded in his mind, “I feel that way too, but maybe it’s just polite talk, just out of respect, not wanting me to lose face.”
“These two seem close to us, but we can’t completely trust them right now. It’s better to be careful, otherwise, if they take advantage of our trust and do something big, we’ll have nowhere to cry.” Aurora said somewhat solemnly.
“Aunt is right, Little Li, don’t let your brain get the better of you and actually think they have feelings for you.” Sui Shenyao warned.
“How could that be? Let alone a secret promise, even if it were an open promise, I have no reason to accept it, okay?” Li Tianming said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
At this moment, Li Dixiao spoke again, “In a family like ours, regardless of whether your marriage is real or fake, there must be a ceremony that outsiders can believe. Therefore, for the next hundred years, I will personally preside over and organize an incredibly grand wedding for the two of you.”
Li Chaoxi wasn’t particularly surprised by this, after all, father and daughter had already discussed it, and such a wedding was in line with the style of the Li imperial family.
Li Tianming’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. He had thought the fake marriage would be handled discreetly, but he hadn’t expected it to end up being such a grand affair.
Li Dixiao then looked at Li Tianming, whose eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and said, “Tianming, after this grand wedding, I will register you for the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War. After that, you will directly rise to the Hundred Star War God level and possess one hundred star palaces, obtaining resources that others dream of. You must make good use of these resources to transform them into your own combat power and prepare for the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War a thousand years from now!”
“Yes, Uncle Xiao, I understand, and I will certainly not fail in my mission.” Li Tianming clasped his hands and bowed slightly.
Although Li Tianming was very surprised when he first heard this news, after careful consideration, he realized that since it involved his wives, a low-key wedding ceremony would indeed not be able to hide it from others.
If the wedding was not grand enough and was displayed in front of everyone, it would be like announcing to the world that it was a fake marriage, done for cultivation resources, and that the Li Imperial Clan was taking advantage of the situation.
This would not only be very disadvantageous to Li Tianming himself, but also a blatant smear on the Li Imperial Clan.
As a historical imperial clan, to achieve a good ranking in the Ten Thousand Sects Imperial War, they actually needed their offspring to marry outsiders, thus exploiting loopholes to arrange for outside geniuses to help them. If
this got out, it would be an absolute disgrace.
Therefore, they had to be resolute and make the performance convincing to everyone.
This also demonstrated Li Dixiao’s boldness and the pressure he bore. There were definitely many dissenting voices within the Li imperial clan, and he would have to shoulder them.
The extremely high-profile wedding was actually a declaration from Li Dixiao, showing everyone that he, a super-strong member of the Li imperial clan, highly valued the young man Li Tianming and genuinely considered him his son-in-law, with no possibility of a fake marriage.
This series of actions was intended to increase everyone’s trust in the marriage and conceal this underhanded operation.
Finally, Li Dixiao looked at Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi again, and asked seriously, “I’m going to announce all this. Do you have any questions? If not, I’ll go and announce this happy news to the world right away.”
Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi exchanged a glance, then looked at Li Dixiao and said in unison, “No problem.”
Li Dixiao smiled and said, “Okay, then I’ll go and announce it now. The sooner this is done, the better.”
