93: Chapter 93 Fallen petals are not heartless things, paying respects to the Gu family patriarch.

After a few rounds of drinks, a Quasi-Emperor Elder of the Ice Phoenix Clan was holding a wine cup when his gaze inadvertently swept across the direction of the bridal chamber. Suddenly, his hand trembled, and the wine spilled out.

"What is it?" another Elder asked.

The Elder did not answer, but instead asked in confusion, "Is the one getting married today Gu Chen? The same Gu Chen from the Genius Tournament?"

Saintess Bing Xin nodded, "Yes."

The Elder looked incredulous, "How could his cultivation be the Saint Realm?"

Saintess Bing Xin was stunned for a moment, completely failing to understand what her Elder meant!

"What?"

"A Saint. Gu Chen is in the Saint Realm."

The Elder's voice was trembling.

He clearly remembered that the Genius Tournament had just ended not long ago, and at that time, wasn't Gu Chen's cultivation only at the first level of the Sovereign Realm?

It had only been a few days since then?!

"How long has it been since the Genius Tournament ended? He was only at the first level of the Sovereign Realm back then. Only a few days have passed, and he's already in the Saint Realm?"

Saintess Bing Xin's mind buzzed. She had been wondering just now why she couldn't perceive Gu Chen's cultivation!

She had thought he was Cultivating some kind of Cultivation Technique to hide his cultivation, but now it seemed it wasn't hidden—it was simply beyond her range of perception!

The Saint Realm. In just a few short days, he went from the first level of the Sovereign Realm to the Saint Realm, skipping the Peak of the Sovereign Realm and the Half-Saint stage, going directly to Saint!

"How is this possible?" Saintess Bing Xin looked incredulous!

This speed of Cultivation was simply ridiculously fast!

Even top Geniuses in the Central Plains might not be able to do what he did!

Meanwhile, Grand Elder Bing Yun expanded her Divine Sense.

Everywhere it passed, there were only Saints. She dared not probe the back mountain of the Gu Family; there were several auras there that she didn't even dare to touch!

Soon, she withdrew her Divine Sense, picked up her wine cup, looked at the Imperial Rank spirit wine inside, and gave a bitter smile!

"No need to think about it. With this concentration of Spiritual Qi and these resources, it's not impossible to reach the Saint Realm in such a short time."

She paused, "What's more, there must be an expert guiding him from behind!"

The two Quasi-Emperor Elders fell silent.

They didn't want to admit it, but the facts were right before their eyes!

The Gu Family was not something they could fathom!

Inside the bridal chamber, the lights were bright!

Gu Chen sat on the edge of the bed, with Ru Shuang sitting next to him. There was a distance of one fist between them!

Neither of them spoke.

Firecrackers were crackling and popping outside, and the noise from outside the window gradually faded away!

Gu Chen took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Ru Shuang, and said, "Miss Ru."

Ru Shuang also looked up at him.

Gu Chen opened his mouth, his face turning red, "Um, I..."

Ru Shuang watched his stuttering appearance and couldn't help but smile, "You what?"

Gu Chen took a deep breath and took Ru Shuang's hand, "From now on, I will treat you well!"

Ru Shuang lowered her head and said softly, "Okay."

The two fell silent again!

The red light shone on Ru Shuang's face, making her look so beautiful she didn't seem like a real person.

Gu Chen looked at her, his heartbeat fast like a drum!

"Miss Ru," he spoke again.

"Hmm?"

"Can I call you Shuang'er?"

Ru Shuang didn't answer, just nodded.

"Shuang'er."

Gu Chen took a deep breath, reached out, and gently lifted Ru Shuang's chin!

Ru Shuang's eyes were watery as she looked at him. As they stared at each other, their faces drew closer and closer!

Suddenly, a soft sound came from outside the window!

Gu Chen's brow furrowed!

Ruining my good time!

"Did you hear that?" Gu Qingshan asked in a low voice.

"No, it was too quiet," Li Shuangxu shook his head.

"Get closer."

Several people pressed their ears even closer.

Gu Chen walked to the window and suddenly pushed it open!

Outside the window, several heads were squeezed together with their ears pressed against the window. Gu Qingshan, Li Shuangxu, and several other Gu Family Disciples held their breath, afraid of making a sound!

When the window opened, several of them lost their footing and fell to the ground with a thud!

They didn't expect to be discovered despite being so stealthy!

Gu Chen stood at the window, looking at the people on the ground with an expressionless face, "What are you doing?"

Gu Qingshan lay on the ground, looked up at Gu Chen, and gave a cheeky smile, "We were just passing by."

"Passing by? Passing by my window?"

Gu Qingshan stopped talking.

"Passing by my window, and pressing your ears against it?"

Li Shuangxu scratched his head awkwardly, "Um! Young Lord, we came to learn!"

Gu Chen's mouth twitched, "Learn? Learn what?"

Gu Qingshan looked at Li Shuangxu, Li Shuangxu looked at Gu Qingshan, and both spoke at the same time, "Learning how to be a groom."

Gu Chen's face darkened, "Get out, get out, get out!"

Uttering such lewd words!

Several people scrambled up and ran away dejectedly. After running a few steps, Gu Qingshan turned back, "Young Lord, keep going! Go for it!"

Gu Chen picked up a smelly shoe and threw it at them!

Gu Qingshan ducked his head, and the shoe flew past his forehead, hitting a tree. The group ran away quickly!

Gu Chen closed the window and turned back to the bed.

Ru Shuang looked at him and couldn't help laughing, "Was it them?"

Gu Chen sat next to her and sighed, "Yeah, this bunch of guys just need to be taught a lesson."

Ru Shuang smiled.

Gu Chen watched her smile, and the nervousness in his heart dissipated quite a bit. He took her hand again.

"Shuang'er."

"Hmm."

"Tonight we..."

Ru Shuang's face reddened again, she lowered her head and didn't speak.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and blew out the candle!

The night was gentle.

Outside the window, the moon hid behind the clouds.

Fallen flowers are not heartless things...

Early the next morning.

When Gu Chen woke up, Ru Shuang was still asleep.

He looked at her face, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart!

This person would be his wife from now on!

He gently kissed her forehead and got up to put on his clothes.

Ru Shuang opened her eyes, looked at him, and looked completely satisfied.

"Morning," Gu Chen said.

Ru Shuang sat up, lowered her head, and said, "Morning."

Gu Chen walked to the window and pushed it open. The morning light shone in. He turned back to look at Ru Shuang and reached out his hand.

"Let's go, it's time to pay respects to the Old Ancestor."

Ru Shuang nodded, took his hand, and got out of bed.

The sunlight shone on them, and their shadows were cast side by side on the ground, very close to each other.

On the plaza, the banquet had already been cleared!

The Gu Family Disciples were cleaning up. Seeing Gu Chen and Ru Shuang, they all greeted them with smiles!

"Good morning, Young Lord. Good morning, Young Lady."

Ru Shuang's face was flushed red, but she still nodded.

At the back mountain, Gu Xuan was lying on a recliner. Seeing the two walk up, he smiled, "You're here?"

Gu Chen nodded, "Old Ancestor."

Gu Xuan glanced at them, "Did you rest well last night?"

Gu Chen's face turned red, "Very well."

Gu Xuan smiled and didn't ask further, "Go on, spend more time walking around with your wife."

Gu Chen nodded and left, holding Ru Shuang's hand.

Meanwhile, Grand Elder Bing Yun, accompanied by Saintess Bing Xin and the two Quasi-Emperor Elders, was led by First Elder Gu Yushan towards the back mountain!

The back mountain!

Grand Elder Bing Yun's footsteps faltered!

Several people were standing in a row in front of them!

Grand Elder Bing Yun could not perceive the auras of these people in front of her. Her palms were sweating, but she didn't stop walking. She walked up to Gu Xuan and bowed deeply.

"Ice Phoenix Clan Grand Elder Bing Yun, pays respects to the Gu Family Ancestor."

Gu Xuan opened his eyes and glanced at her, "Sit."

Grand Elder Bing Yun straightened up and sat on the stone stool nearby!

Saintess Bing Xin and the two Elders stood behind her, not daring to even breathe loudly!

It wasn't that they didn't want to sit; they didn't dare!
