Chapter 289 - 289: Wedding (2)



Everyone in the crowd was shocked to a certain extent since they all knew some parts of the story between Jiang Zhi Shu and the Jiang Family.

That is everyone except for Lin Fan who just sat there with a calm smile on his face.

​​

If this was a normal situation, he wouldn't just be shocked, he would also be angry since Jiang Zhi Shu had directly broken the promise between them. However, this wasn't a normal situation.

Lin Fan wasn't surprised by Jiang Zhi Shu's appearance at all since he was the one who told him to come this way.

Lin Fan had already guessed parts of the Jiang Family's plan, so he didn't mind playing along with them. If they had already guessed that Jiang Zhi Shu was involved, there was no need for him to keep hiding himself.

Rather if he did show himself, this would turn this fight into an internal family struggle which would make it harder for others to interfere. 

Moreover, there were plenty of plans that the Jiang Family designed around Jiang Zhi Shu that they couldn't use now unless they were to reveal their dirty little secrets. It was fine to use them when Jiang Zhi Shu hid himself since no one could connect the two together, but it was definitely easy to do so once he revealed himself.

This time, it was Lin Fan's turn to operate in the shadows.

Jiang Qi Tai and Jiang Zhi Shu just faced each other for a bit before Jiang Qi Tai took Yuan Xiang Qin by the hand, leading her over to one of his groomsmen standing on the side and having him take her away.

Jiang Zhi Shu tensed up when he saw this. He clearly wanted to chase after her, but first there was something else he had to do.

When Jiang Qi Tai turned back to Jiang Zhi Shu, he tilted his head and asked, "It seems like you have something to ask?"

Jiang Zhi Shu knit his brows as he said one simple word, "Why?"

Jiang Qi Tai stretched his hands out and said, "I wonder, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Zhi Shu couldn't control his emotions as he shouted out, "You know what I mean! I thought that you were my closest brother, the one that would always be there for me and her!"

A trace of darkness and hidden bitterness flashed in Jiang Qi Tai's eyes when he heard this, as he said with a bit of emotion in his voice, "What do you understand about me? You've never known anything about me and you're asking me this?"

Jiang Zhi Shu couldn't help revealing a hurt look as he said, "She and I both trusted you."

This time Jiang Qi Tai's face turned completely dark as he said, "Look where that trust has gotten you."

Without waiting for Jiang Zhi Shu to say a thing, Jiang Qi Tai turned to an old man who was sitting in the first row and said, "First elder, are you sure you still want to go through with your plan or are you going to stand up for the Jiang Family?"

The first elder Jiang Mu sitting in the first row of the wedding hall knitted his brows when he heard this, but he relaxed them just as quickly, not allowing himself to show any further emotions.

He sat there stroking his beard for a few seconds before giving a sigh and saying, "They say the young will surpass the old eventually, you definitely prove that. The Jiang Family will be united in the end."

Then Jiang Mu turned to Jiang Zhi Shu and said, "Xiao Shu, you know what kind of place this is, please just leave."

Jiang Mu was actually one of the elders that had supported Jiang Zhi Shu in the beginning, so he was actually quite close to him. If he had a choice, he would rather end this peacefully than let it escalate any further.

But that wasn't the case today since Jiang Zhi Shu had no intentions of backing down.

Jiang Zhi Shu still had respect for his elders as he cupped his hands to Jiang Mu, but then he said, "I'm sorry elder Mu, but I can't comply today."

Jiang Mu gave a sigh before waving his hand and turned without a word.

The two guards who had followed Jiang Mu to this wedding came out to grab Jiang Zhi Shu and take him out, but they didn't even have a chance to approach him before they were sent flying by the rocks that had appeared around him.

When those rocks appeared, there were many people who knitted their brows to look at Jiang Zhi Shu. After all, these rocks had the aura of an expert in the peak Platinum Realm.

If they came from Jiang Zhi Shu himself and he was already in the peak Platinum Realm, what kind of concept was this?

Jiang Zhi Shu was indeed a genius, which was why the Jiang Family had focused much of their resources in nurturing him. However, that had already ended a long time ago and he had been kicked out of the family.

If he were able to reach the peak Platinum Realm during this time without the support of the Jiang Family, he might have been an even greater genius than the Jiang Family had expected. If that had been the case, they might need to reconsider their thoughts.

But they soon noticed that this power didn't belong to Jiang Zhi Shu himself, so they calmed down. It seemed like he was borrowing this power from some pet.

That did make sense since there was no way Jiang Zhi Shu wouldn't know that the elders would come to the wedding today. After all, this was a wedding that was being held by the Jiang Family, so he would need at least the ability to fight against a peak Platinum Realm Expert if he wanted to accomplish anything.

Even with this display, Jiang Mu didn't personally make a move since he was after all the first elder of the Jiang Family. He had his status to uphold.

Jiang Mu turned to another old man who had been sitting in the first row who nodded back before standing up. This old man was another elder of the Jiang Family, the sixth elder, Jiang Tie.

Jiang Tie was the other elder who had supported Jiang Zhi Shu when he had been in the Jiang Family, which was why Jiang Mu had chosen him to take care of Jiang Zhi Shu. If it was Jiang Tie, at least he would have some discretion in how he treated Jiang Zhi Shu.

After coming forward, Jiang Tie hesitated for a second before summoning out his pet. It was a strange pet, it was a puppet that was completely made of iron.

Jiang Tie looked at Jiang Zhi Shu with an awkward look as he said, "Xiao Shu, sorry about this." Then he shouted, "Combine!"

With a flash of light, the puppet suddenly flew towards Jiang Tie and completely transformed. It opened up and wrapped completely around Jiang Tie's body, like a suit of armour.

Like his namesake, Jiang Tie was an expert who used this special Iron Golem pet to create a suit of iron armour for himself. Combining his own power with this Iron Golem pet, it allowed him to become a powerful physical cultivator.

With this Iron Golem pet, he had defeated countless enemies and gained plenty of battle experience which had helped fuel his cultivation, allowing him to reach the peak Platinum Realm. So even though he was the youngest out of all six elders, he definitely wasn't someone who could be ignored.

Jiang Zhi Shu didn't worry since he had Rocky behind him.

This was one of the special trump cards that Lin Fan had lent Jiang Zhi Shu.

Jiang Zhi Shu knew how powerful Rocky was after fighting with it last time, so he knew that even if he was facing a peak Platinum Realm Expert, he would have no problem being able to match them.

Jiang Zhi Shu pulled out his normal spear and wrapped Rocky's stone laws around it, adopting a ready stance as he faced Jiang Tie.

Jiang Tie once again hesitated a second, but then he charged out without any hesitation at all. Jiang Tie had raised his fist which had his laws of stone gathered around it, hardening the iron armour around his hand.

The Iron Golem armour was already strong enough by itself, but after being hardened by stone laws, it became hard enough to punch through iron sheets.

Jiang Zhi Shu still wasn't worried since he knew that Rocky was a mutated beast.

Mutated beasts were regarded as the kings of pets since they were beasts that could skip levels to fight. Even if Rocky was only in the high Platinum Realm, its laws were more than enough to take on this peak Platinum Realm Expert.

The tip of the spear and the fist collided, balancing for only a single second before the tip of the spear bent slightly and Jiang Zhi Shu had been pushed back by several steps.

Jiang Zhi Shu looked down at the spear in his hands and knew that he had made a mistake.

If he had been facing any other elder, it would be fine since Rocky's laws would be strong enough to stop them. But this wasn't the case with Jiang Tie and his impregnable defense.

It was so strong that Jiang Zhi Shu's weapon couldn't last even if Rocky's laws matched his.

But Jiang Zhi Shu didn't panic. He just casually put his own weapon away and pulled out a pure white spear.
