On the day of the engagement!
The Lu family still managed to overshadow the recent funeral, and the entire Lu family had decorated their home in bright red. Furthermore, some prominent families from the cultivation world also sent representatives to offer their congratulations.
As for Luo Chen’s side, Su Lingchu, Ye Zhengtian, Lin Hualong, and various other bigwigs from all over the country had originally intended to come. After all, given Luo Chen’s connections, the bigwigs from all walks of life would definitely come to congratulate him in person.
However, Luo Chen had rejected them all, not allowing a single one to attend.
On the day of the engagement, media from all walks of life and even many outsiders arrived here, and the arrangements for the engagement day were broadcast in real time on the internet via pictures or text.
However, the internet had already exploded into a frenzy.
“I will not offer my blessings. How can my husband marry another woman?”
“Strange, why are there no bigwigs from various circles who are on good terms with Luo Wuji?”
“Tch, what is so strange about that?”
“Luo Wuji is now a crippled man, and tomorrow is the cultivator gathering. It is obvious that people are looking to cause trouble for him. Even the bigwigs from various circles are unwilling to show their faces and get involved with him,” someone replied in the forum.
Various discussions and comments arose.
However, someone took a photo of Lu Shuixian and posted it online.
“Damn, no wonder Luo Wuji wants this marriage alliance. If it were me, I would be willing too!”
“She is too beautiful, simply like a fairy descending to earth, and this is without makeup, she is not even wearing any cosmetics!”
Many people exclaimed in admiration.
Even many women exclaimed in admiration, finding her truly beautiful.
In that photo, Lu Shuixian appeared noble and coldly beautiful. Although her expression was cold to the extreme, she possessed a unique kind of beauty!
“Are you sure Luo Wuji is worthy of her?” someone questioned.
“I think so too. This time, Luo Wuji has gotten a huge bargain.”
The heated discussion on the internet had already begun.
On the Lu family’s side, the decorations were almost complete. Although not all the major cultivation families had come, there were still thousands of people in total.
Fortunately, the Lu family’s large courtyard was like a grand garden, capable of accommodating so many people.
Moreover, even if those who came were not the heads of the cultivation families, they were still prominent figures.
“The Zhang family from Hebei has arrived!”
“The Tong family from Shaanxi has arrived!”
“The Tuoba family from Qinghai has arrived!”
“…”
Someone at the entrance continuously announced the arrivals to the Lu family in a loud voice.
“Why are all the people arriving those invited by our Lu family?” Lu Heshan frowned.
“His cultivation is ruined now. Who would still pay attention to him?”
“Besides, do you think Luo Wuji has any connections in the cultivation world?” Lu Chuan sneered.
In fact, this point did make Shen Yuelan and Luo’s father somewhat embarrassed.
After all, the names loudly announced at the entrance were all people invited by the Lu family, bringing generous gifts.
However, there was absolutely no movement from Luo Chen’s side.
“Hmph, with this kind of son-in-law, he still put on airs in front of our Lu family before?” the person responsible for reception at the entrance said dissatisfiedly.
“Alright, just receive them properly,” another young man responsible for reception said, but a cold sneer and mockery were also hanging on his face.
Previously, Luo Chen had stepped into the Lu family with such a glorious posture, and Luo Chen himself was already a prominent figure.
But now, for such a major event as an engagement, not a single person had come to offer congratulations.
Would this not make them a laughing stock?
In contrast, on their Lu family’s side, bigwigs from all walks of life, especially the various bigwigs of the cultivation world, had come in person.
This was enough to illustrate the influence and status of the Lu family in the cultivation world!
Seeing this, even Lu Shuixian could not bear to watch any longer.
“Dad, did we really overestimate Luo Wuji a bit before?” Lu Shuixian asked. Today, as required, she was wearing a bright red long dress, which had been specially flown in from France.
Designed by a top designer, although it was a Western design, it also incorporated a few Eastern elements, making Lu Shuixian the centre of attention wherever she went!
“Is this not a good thing?”
“Is it not now clear at a glance exactly how much foundation Luo Wuji has?” Lu Chuan said with a cold sneer.
Indeed, this was the time that could best reveal a person’s foundation.
“But Father, is this really all for our Lu family’s side?” Lu Shuixian asked in confusion.
Because the foundation of the Lu family was definitely more than this.
After all, both Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan were presidents of the Cultivator Association. Based on this alone, those who came today should definitely not just be representatives of the major cultivation families, but the family heads themselves!
“I told them not to come,” Lu Chuan said, specifically patting Lu Shuixian on the shoulder!
Lu Shuixian suddenly realised this, and the face that had been tense all morning instantly broke into a smile.
“What about Grandpa’s side?”
“I will go and persuade him,” Lu Chuan said with a cold sneer.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a commercial vehicle was also driving towards the Lu family at Longhu Mountain.
However, for such a short distance, they had already been driving for almost an hour.
Annie and Kaidi Howard in the car were both frowning.
Because Wuzhou was truly too strange today.
The Bentley cars in front were almost lined up in a row, and the roadside was completely filled with Rolls-Royces and the like.
“Is there a luxury car gathering in Wuzhou today?”
Because on this single short road, all kinds of luxury cars were simply packed to the brim.
Even in Europe, such a scene would be impossible!
Bentleys and Rolls-Royces were practically everywhere, and as for various supercars, such as Bugattis, Koenigseggs, and so on, they were too numerous to count.
As for Ferraris and Maseratis, they were simply not worthy of being mentioned.
Moreover, they all had out-of-town licence plates.
The traffic jam had paralysed the entire city of Wuzhou.
And the top leader of Wuzhou had already called the Wuzhou Transport Bureau many times.
“We are also puzzled, and since there are important figures inside the cars, it is not easy for us to intervene,” the Transport Bureau reported helplessly.
“Do you know how many luxury cars have arrived?”
“It has already exceeded one hundred thousand.” This number made the top leader of Wuzhou instantly gasp in shock!
“They are still increasing and entering the city in large batches. We heard that all three expressways are blocked.”
Finally, the top leader of Wuzhou went out in person, but turned around and went back as soon as he stepped out the door.
Because one look at the licence plates completely terrified him.
He casually glanced at the licence plates of a few cars and immediately understood that the people inside were definitely not individuals he could afford to offend.
The key point was that these cars were only coming to Wuzhou, as if by prior agreement, but none of them were leaving the city.
Terrified, the top leader of Wuzhou started making phone calls one by one after returning.
After all, with so many important figures arriving, it would be troublesome if they were here for an inspection.
In the end, a ten-mile-long street was lined on both sides with supercars, almost to the point where they could not be packed any tighter.
“Have all the luxury cars in the country come today?” many people said in astonishment. Luxury cars were everywhere, as if they were completely free.
This grand spectacle left many locals in Wuzhou stunned, and eventually, there were even private planes flying around in the sky, seemingly looking for a place to land.
Meanwhile, on the Lu family’s side, until the ceremony was about to begin, no one had arrived for Luo Chen.
The seats were divided into two sides. The left side was for the people invited by the Lu family, and hundreds of chairs were already completely filled.
There were even quite a few people standing behind them, densely packed.
Luo Chen’s side was arranged on the right.
However, it was completely empty. Apart from Shen Yuelan, Luo’s father, and Feilong, there was only Luo Chen.
The hundreds of empty chairs were particularly glaring!
Lu Heshan frowned and spoke.
“Let the engagement ceremony begin.”
