910. Huge impact
The news that Xiao Yan, the young master of the Starfall Pavilion and heir of the Xiao clan, had married Xiao Yixian, the master of the Medicine and Poison Valley, became the most important news in the entire Central Continent in a very short time.
The couple's status and influence are enough to garner such attention. The added factor of the turbulent situation in Zhongzhou makes this wedding even more extraordinary.
Of course, different people have different opinions on this matter.
Ordinary people in Zhongzhou with average strength would naturally only see this as a marriage alliance, since it involves the high-ranking officials of two forces. Xiao Yan is the champion of the Pill Gathering, and Little Fairy Doctor is the Valley Master of the Medicine and Poison Valley. Such an open matter is something that even ordinary people can pay attention to, so they are naturally very interested in it.
People at a higher level, such as the middle and upper management of the Starfall Pavilion, wouldn't find it particularly surprising.
After all, the love between Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yan needs no proof. They even have a child together, and if it weren't for the many unexpected events that occurred, their marriage would have happened much sooner. Ultimately, this is just a formality; it would have come sooner or later anyway.
Those who know Xiao Yan better will have an additional layer of concern. Xiao Yan's wedding was very clear: one-on-one, only with Xiao Yi Xian!
However, Xiao Yan has more than just Little Fairy Doctor by his side. The closest one is Xun'er, who has completely severed ties with the Ancient Clan for Xiao Yan's sake. If Xun'er were to disregard this, it would seem unreasonable from any perspective.
Another one is Qing Lin, the maid who has been by Xiao Yan's side throughout the Pill Gathering. At first, perhaps because she didn't show off, no one understood Qing Lin's strength.
However, with a single sword strike cleaving through the Spirit Clan's grand formation and the ability to fight against a veteran powerhouse like the Heavenly Nether Demon, Qing Lin's strength is beyond question. Moreover, she is now the undisputed empress of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan.
Although Qinglin acts as Xiao Yan's maid, no one dares to truly regard her that way.
Of course, these things are ultimately just speculations in the minds of outsiders.
The wedding organizers, Starfall Pavilion, were already in full swing. With his elder brother Xiao Ding presiding, everything was being arranged meticulously for Xiao Yan. Little Fairy Doctor had no family, but Venerable Wind and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan automatically assumed that role.
Venerable Feng also declared that he would make sure the wedding was beautiful and that Little Fairy Doctor would marry Xiao Yan in style.
Under the deliberate arrangement of the Starfall Pavilion, the impact of this wedding far exceeded the change of the position of Pavilion Master between Elder Yao and Venerable Feng.
Any powerful figure from a force with a good relationship with Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan, or Little Fairy Doctor naturally received an invitation to the wedding. Because of its unprecedented influence, those who received the invitations and their respective factions were naturally very interested in this unprecedented wedding.
Burning Flame Valley was naturally one of the forces that received the invitation.
Holding the red invitation card still fragrant with the scent of elixir, Tang Zhen said to the Fire Cloud Ancestor in front of him, "The invitation card is actually made of ten-thousand-year-old evergreen vine. The Starfall Pavilion certainly has quite the grandeur."
"That little guy Xiao Yan deserves such a grand display, both in terms of the marriage itself and his personal strength." Ever since Xiao Yan decided to leave the Nine Dragons Thunder Steel Fire in Burning Flame Valley and learned the Heaven-Rank Battle Technique of Fire Cloud Ancestor, Fire Cloud Ancestor has been full of praise for him.
Now that I know Xiao Yan is getting married, I am genuinely happy for him.
"Ancestor, the invitation specifically mentions that you are invited to go in person!" Tang Zhen continued.
Normally, in this kind of situation, only elders would intervene. Tang Zhen going in person is already a great show of respect. It's only because Xiao Yan is an exception for Burning Flame Valley that Tang Zhen probably wouldn't have specifically brought this up with Ancestor Fire Cloud.
"Go! Since they've personally brought it up, of course we should go."
Then, as if he had thought of something, Old Ancestor Huoyun said to Tang Zhen, "Moreover, I have a feeling that this trip might not be just about a wedding."
"Oh? What else does the Ancestor think there could be? Could it be that even the marriage is just a pretense?"
"A wedding is still a wedding, but it's hard to say what might happen afterward. As the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, what's your opinion of Valley Master Xiao of Medicine and Poison Valley?"
"Remarkably, as the leader of an emerging power, he has done an almost impeccable job. Moreover, he is very tactful in his conduct and his cooperation with our Burning Flame Valley has been exceptionally successful."
Fire Cloud Ancestor nodded: "I haven't had much direct contact with her, but from what you've said, I know what kind of person she is. Xiao Yan has already advanced to the level of a one-star Dou Sheng after returning from the Heavenly Tomb, which means he has a very high probability of obtaining Xiao Xuan's inheritance."
"The Starfall Pavilion now boasts three experts at the Dou Sheng level. If they don't do something after this, I'd hardly believe it."
After hearing the ancestor's analysis, Tang Zhen continued, "Ancestor, what about us? Should we choose to cooperate with them?"
The conflict between Xiao Yan and the Ancient Clan has long been out in the open. Cooperating with Xiao Yan almost means directly opposing the Ancient Clan. In the past many years, even the leading forces in the Central Continent have been extremely cautious in dealing with families descended from Dou Di.
"In the Central Plains, major storms and conflicts are bound to come sooner or later, and it's only a matter of time before we choose to cooperate. Although I can't be sure about cooperating with them right now, based on my experiences, Xiao Yan is not the kind of person who would mistreat his own people."
……
Invitations from the Starfall Pavilion were sent out to various parts of the Central Continent during this period, and conversations similar to those with the Burning Flame Valley were constantly occurring, although the focus of each conversation was slightly different.
Of course, regardless of the outside commotion, the Starfall Pavilion's preparations for the wedding proceeded extremely quickly. With the unwavering support of the two major powers, the Starfall Pavilion was soon filled with a festive atmosphere.
The wedding day was 15 days after the announcement.
To ensure the grandeur of the wedding, both Starfall Pavilion and Medicine Poison Valley made ample preparations. Three days before the wedding, Medicine Poison Valley released another major announcement.
For three days, anyone who is injured can seek help for free at any of the pharmacies under the jurisdiction of the Medicine and Poison Valley!
This news practically set the entire Central Continent ablaze. Countless people praised the actions of the Medicine and Poison Valley, and were even more eager for Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor's grand wedding.
