534 Wedding, Deputy Island Lord Fasci (1)
Five days later, Redeye and Qi Xiao held a wedding banquet for their relatives and friends.
Xu Jingming turned up with his wife and daughter.
“There’s so many people.” Xu Lixing followed her parents to the particular virtual world and saw a large number of guests flying to the central nebula.
“The bride is a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform of the Demon Cloud family,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “The Demon Cloud family has more than 30 galaxies with a population of trillions. The numbers will be astonishing even if only the core members attend the wedding.”
Compared to the bride’s family and friends, the groom had relatively fewer guests.
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming and his family arrived at the colorful central nebula. Redeye and Qi Xiao were welcoming the guests.
“Junior Brother Wu Ming,” Redeye greeted warmly. He was especially happy today and smiled brightly.
Qi Xiao was also very happy. The entire Demon Cloud family agreed to the wedding without any objections.
“Uncle Lan, this is Junior Brother Wu Ming, whom I often talk to you about,” Redeye said to a thin elder. At the same time, he explained to Xu Jingming, “I was raised by Uncle Lan.”
Xu Jingming immediately bowed when he saw him. “Mr. Lan.”
This elder was a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform, one of the top existences on Spacetime Island. However, he was very old—over 90,000 years old. The owner of Spacetime Island had arranged for Mr. Lan to take care of Redeye.
“Your reputation precedes you, Wu Ming.” Mr. Lan smiled warmly. “This is a good era for the Primordial Research Institute. There was Redmond first, then Wu Ming. Even Redeye was recruited by the Primordial Research Institute.”
“Let’s chalk it off to me having to hide my identity at the mysterious land? Spacetime Island didn’t take a fancy to me,” Redeye said with a smile. “Instead, the Primordial Research Institute recruited me.”
“Junior Brother Wu Ming is here?” A middle-aged man walked over with three companions.
“Senior Brother Pan Li,” Xu Jingming immediately greeted politely when he saw who it was.
Pan Li Demon Cloud—he was the current patriarch of the Demon Cloud family and was also the only Lv. 10 Origin lifeform in the family! The three beside him were the three Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms of the Demon Cloud family.
The Demon Cloud family had a large population, so logically speaking, there was no need for the patriarch and the three elders to attend a member’s wedding.
However, it was different today—Redeye’s status was astounding!
There were many guests attending the wedding. The Demon Cloud family’s patriarch and the three elders wouldn’t take the initiative to greet ordinary guests, but they did so for Xu Jingming. It was an honor.
“I met Senior Brother Redeye before I became an Origin lifeform,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “I naturally have to attend this wedding.”
“I heard from the couple that you helped them tie the knot,” Pan Li commented with a smile.
Xu Jingming still had some respect for Senior Brother Pan Li. The Primordial Research Institute had four powerhouses that were good at sonar attacks, and Pan Li was one of them. Over the years, Pan Li had contributed greatly on the Void Celestial battlefield.
Xu Jingming was impressed, and Pan Li also had the intention of befriending him. The two chatted happily.
…
The interior of the nebula was the guest area. The guests were seated according to their status and relationship with the bridal couple.
“Who’s that? Mr. Lan and Patriarch Pan Li went to welcome him.” Many people sat at the edge and watched from afar.
“I saw Miss Xu Lixing. That man should be Miss Xu Lixing’s father… Lord Wu Ming. He’s the fastest person to become an Origin lifeform in this era. They say that it won’t be long before he becomes a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform…”
“Wu Ming? So it’s him.”
“I’ve seen his Battle of the Apex matches. He looks different.”
“He hadn’t become an Origin lifeform back then, so he naturally had to hide his identity. This is his true appearance.”
“The Pearwood Group has some reputation in the Hunter Cosmic Sector these days, but this is the first time I’m meeting Lord Wu Ming.”
“I’ve seen Miss Xu Lixing more than ten times, but this is also my first time meeting Lord Wu Ming.”
These guests were of reputable status as well, but Xu Jingming didn’t participate in many events. In particular, he had been guarding the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector in recent years and didn’t participate in commercial events at all. He only showed up here today because it was his good friend’s wedding.
“Junior Brother Wu Ming, your seat isn’t far from mine. I’ll bring you over,” the patriarch said warmly.
The three elders of the family accompanied him, but they didn’t dare to interrupt casually. They only replied when there was a chance.
“Your family can head in to grab a seat first. I still have guests to welcome,” Redeye said.
Xu Jingming nodded and headed for the guest area.
Xu Jingming’s family of three had seats reserved for them right in front of the guests’ sitting area. Not far from them was Patriarch Pan Li’s.
“Please enjoy yourselves. Pardon us while we continue welcoming the guests,” Patriarch Pan Li said with a smile. “Sorry about it; it’s a busy day. Let’s get together another time. Many of my friends want to get to know you.”
“Senior Brother Pan Li, go ahead. Let’s meet up another day,” Xu Jingming replied.
Pan Li rushed to the forefront with the three family elders. They didn’t need to entertain ordinary guests, but they couldn’t slight some important guests.
Guests arrived one after another—Senior Brother Gu Shan, Senior Sister Moyu, and some other Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms were considered ordinary.
The arrival of some Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms drew attention.
“His Majesty Ancient River is here.”
The entire guest area suddenly stirred.
Xu Jingming and his family also looked over.
A black-haired, middle-aged man wearing some relatively casual wear—a black-gold robe—arrived with six Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms behind him.
