Peerless Genius System

Chapter 713: Marriage

Gu Qianxue had no say over the matter of whether she should marry Xiao Luo. Gu Zhanguo had sent her to Mount Tianshan ever since she was a child. To her, Tianshan Elder was not only her Master but was also like a parent to her. Since Tianshan Elder wanted her to marry Xiao Luo, she would not object. Also, she had taken a fancy to Xiao Luo, so she naturally approved the decision.

Xiao Luo was also being persuaded by Xiao Quanren and Elder Long. His need to become attained greater strength and power left him with no other choice but to agree to the marriage. But he had some tricks up his sleeve. He planned to fake the marriage with Gu Qianxue, and it would be a marriage in name only. He did not want to disappoint or hurt Gu Qianxue.

Since both parties had finally agreed, that marriage proceeded!

The three elders were the most powerful beings in that world. They prepared everything in a matter of a few hours, adhering to the rituals from ancient times. They arranged for a band to play the traditional trumpets, had a butcher slaughter the pigs, and chefs to cook the meals. These people were all abducted and did not know where they were. They were going about their daily routines when suddenly they blacked out. When they awoke, they found themselves in that world covered with ice and snow.

They fearfully followed the orders of the three elders and did not dare to disobey!

Gu Qianxue was dressed in a bright red bridal gown. Her skin was fair and smooth, and she looked elegant and beautiful. Her eyes swept across to Xiao Luo, who dressed in the groom’s attire. She shyly took a glance at his face and her face turned bright red.

“Cough, cough...”

Elder Long cleared his throat, then turned to the bride and said, “Gu Qianxue, do you want this man, Xiao Luo, to become your husband? To marry him? Love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him, and remain faithful to him until the end of his life. In sickness or health or any other...”

“Shut up, Long! What the hell are you doing now?” Before Elder Long could finish, Tianshan Elder interrupted him.

“Junior Sister, this is what the priests of the West say when they marry off a couple,” Elder Long explained.

“This is the East. Why are you blindly copying those foreign customs? Just follow the eastern tradition and stop following foreign customs here.”

Tianshan Elder sat in the front seat and looked resplendent in her beautiful costume. She looked like a young woman, but the way she spoke made the newcomers cower. The seniors had abducted these men to help with the wedding preparation. Confused and afraid, they could not help but wonder if they were dreaming, for seeing a young girl who behaved like an elder was rare.

Elder Long had tried to create a more romantic ceremony, but he got chided for adopting foreign rituals. That upset him.

However, he quickly overcame his pique and shouted excitedly.

“First bow to heaven and earth!”

Xiao Luo and Gu Qianxue bowed to the sky.

“Second bow to the relatives and elders!”

After shouting that out, Elder Long teleported to the hall and stood between Xiao Quanren and the Tianshan Elder. He accepted the bow from the new couple with no modesty. He even acted the part and took a sip from his teacup.

“Couple, bow to each other!”

Elder Long continued to shout in a loud voice after he finished sipping his tea.

“Alright, send the couple into the bridal chamber!”

Xiao Luo and Gu Qianxue entered the cave abode. Only the two of them could enter. Tianshan Elder stood guard outside the door. That was a warning to everyone. That night was the couple’s wedding night, and if anyone dared to enter and disturbed the couple, they would not be let off easily.

“Ridiculous! They are just out of their minds!”

Gu Qianlin had been immobilized the entire time, and could only watch everything happening but could not stop the event. She was furious and trembling in anger. She was not only upset with the three elders, but she was also furious with her younger sister, Gu Qianxue. She knew that Xiao Luo was already married, yet she still insisted on marrying him.

Why?

Why, indeed?

Was Xiao Luo that good? He was a devil who killed without batting an eyelid!

...

...

That night, the mellow moonlight radiantly shone on the snowy landscape, enveloping the entire snowy mountain with its misty radiance. It looked as if the heavens had covered it with a layer of light gauze.

“Have a glass of wine to warm up.”

Tianshan Elder said as she released the restraint on Gu Qianlin.

Have a glass of wine?

Gu Qianlin was furious. She stretched her numb body and drew her gun. She pointed it at Tianshan Elder and shouted, “You old lunatics, how could you force my sister to marry a married man? I will... sue you all!”

“Sue me?”

Tianshan Elder laughed scornfully. Suddenly, she moved like a silent ghost and appeared right beside Gu Qianlin, who was over 10 meters away from her.

It startled Gu Qianlin, and in panic, she suddenly fired the gun in her trembling hand.

BANG!

An ear-piercing gunshot rang out. The bullet flew out of the chamber and headed straight at the Tianshan Elder’s forehead, right between her eyebrows.

Just when everyone thought the shot would pierce through Tianshan Elder’s head, the speeding bullet stopped ten centimeters from her. There was an invisible force that prevented the bullet from reaching her.

For god’s sake, what are we seeing here?

The abducted people were shocked and watched in wide-eyed fear. They were so bewildered by what they saw they froze even as they were eating.

“Gulp!”

Gu Qianlin broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed her saliva. The Tianshan Elder was not even afraid of bullets. Was she an old monster that had lived for thousands of years?

“You are my disciple’s older sister, so I won’t put you in a difficult position. But you need to consider the situation and refrain from testing my temper. If I really cannot hold back and injure you, or if I accidentally disfigure your face, then do not blame me!”

Tianshan Elder reached out and grabbed the bullet floating in mid-air. Then, with a flick of her fingers, the bullet flew with tremendous speed and force toward an enormous boulder in the distance.

The speeding bullet left a trail of light and hit its target in an instant.

BOOM!

There was a loud explosion when the speeding bullet shattered the boulder into tiny fragments.

Gu Qianlin felt drenched in a cold sweat, and her limbs were trembling with fear. The gun in her hand could no longer give her any sense of security.

“This is my territory, so do not misbehave yourself, got it?” Elder Tianshan said. She reached out and patted Gu Qianlin on her shoulder as a warning. Then she turned around and walked back to the outdoor banquet, grabbed a leg of a goat along the way, and taking a bite of it.

Elder Long and Xiao Quanren had to clean up the mess. They sent the abducted men back to where they were picked up.

Thump!

Gu Qianlin fell to her knees. She felt that her world had crumbled, and all of her knowledge did not apply to this place. Everything she had seen and heard at Tianshan made her feel like that world was strange and crazy.

Everything she had learned conflicted with what was happening in this unknown world, and she suddenly realized that her beliefs meant nothing at all here.
