I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 5: I, Bai Feier, will not marry a good-for-nothing!

"It is an honor for our Mo family that the Sect Master of Qianyou Sect has graced our humble abode with his presence!"

"Haha, alright, Elder Mo Xin, you flatter me. On this wedding day, I will also present a thousand-year-old Purple Soul Flower to express the goodwill of my Thousand Nether Sect."

The Mo family mansion was very large, and the layout of the courtyards was excellent, with pavilions and towers everywhere. The banquet had already been set up, and more than a hundred guests had arrived. Although it was not a large number, these people were all quite famous cultivators in the Sun Flame Dynasty, each representing their own power, and any one of them was no weaker than the Mo family.

The patriarch of the Mohist school sat in the main seat of the banquet hall, watching his Mohist family's hall bustling with guests, feeling a surge of delight. How glorious the Mohist ancestors had once been!

Unfortunately, their descendants are disappointing. Not only have they lost their family fortune in many ways, but they have also managed to become kings and tyrants in Qingmu City. In the past, all the forces that came to celebrate would have had to rely on the Mo family to survive!

Now, their Mohist school can also enjoy such unprecedented prosperity!

Although, this was still somewhat thanks to the Bai family's influence.

The Mo family patriarch was secretly pleased, but a kind and gentle smile appeared on his face. He said to everyone, "Gentlemen, let me first offer you all a toast."

After he finished speaking, he raised his wine cup and said, "Today is the wedding day of Mo Cheng, the eldest young master of the Mo family. I would like to offer everyone a toast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp, and everyone around him raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp as well.

Praise and compliments poured in, making the Mohist patriarch's face beam with smiles.

He quite liked these flattering words. Only… the thought of that nine-lived demon cat still made his heart ache.

How did she manage to get away?

Thinking this, the Mo family patriarch's eyes flickered. After sitting down, he looked at the table next to him, where Mo Cheng was chatting and laughing with a group of playboys he knew.

This made the Mo family patriarch frown.

This guy is truly hopeless, but he is, after all, their descendant. Although the Bai family married off a good-for-nothing, they had seen Bai Feier, the patriarch of the Mo family, and she was absolutely top-notch in appearance and demeanor. So it wasn't a bad treatment of Mo Cheng.

Once the elder of the Bai family leads Bai Feier out, the wedding ceremony will proceed smoothly.

On the other side, Gu Heng arrived at the gate of the Mo family mansion. Xiao Xi peeked out from his arms, very quietly.

Many mortals came to witness the wedding, but most of them were just there to casually join in the cultivators' joy and have a decent meal; they didn't really care about the wedding itself.

Gu Heng took out the marriage invitation, and the Mo family guards at the gate let him in. But after Gu Heng entered, he still heard a disdainful voice from behind: "Hmph, a bunch of useless people, all here to freeload. They've never seen the world before!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng paused briefly but did not turn around.

He continued walking inside.

But Su Jinxi looked at him in surprise. Such a reclusive master of medical skills, who had reached the pinnacle of his art, was being humiliated by someone who was not much stronger than an ordinary person, yet he remained calm and composed... It seems that this state of detachment is not something that just any powerful person can achieve.

At least Su Jinxi couldn't do that.

The venue was very large, and ordinary people sat in the small seats at the very edge.

"Oh, Doctor Gu is here too!"

"It's a rare treat! Doctor Gu, please find a seat. This food is really good!" Gu Heng walked over, and many people greeted him. Among the people present, there were few who hadn't been to his clinic for treatment; they were all regular customers. He responded to each of them and casually chose an empty seat to sit down. A dazzling array of dishes were laid out in front of him, and Xiao Xi, who was in his arms, jumped out and landed on the table.

The Mo family patriarch stood at the highest point of the banquet hall, looking around with great pride.

"See that? That's the patriarch of the Mohist school."

The middle-aged stonemason next to Gu Heng patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the Mo family patriarch at the highest point, and looked on with envy.

Gu Heng knew this stonemason. He was also a cultivator in his early years, although he hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Later, he was seriously injured in a conflict with someone, and his foundation was completely destroyed. But he was a cultivator before, and he had been out and about and seen the world. So when he spoke, Gu Heng looked in the direction he pointed.

"Oh...it's nothing special."

In fact, he had never seen a cultivator of this status before, but Gu Heng really didn't care. He had come to terms with it; if he couldn't be a cultivator, wouldn't it be just as peaceful to be a mortal?

"Alas! Doctor Gu, you are so short-sighted! The Mo family patriarch was already at the Nascent Soul stage a hundred years ago. There are only about ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the entire Sun Flame Dynasty. We are extremely lucky to have met him even once in our lives!"

The stonemason shook his head, muttering things like "what a pity."

Gu Heng wasn't interested, but he was still willing to engage in conversation with him.

"This senior is really patient..."

Su Jinxi wagged her tail, thinking to herself.

Just kidding, she's lived for thousands of years, she's incredibly knowledgeable!

But the medicine cabinet was filled with herbs, some of which even Su Jinxi had never seen before. She naturally found the stonemason's words utterly ridiculous. Even she couldn't fathom the cultivation level of the man before her, so how could the stonemason possibly discern it? Yet he genuinely treated Gu Heng like some naive mortal. This was a Supreme Saint-level Medical Saint! He didn't even need a pill furnace or true qi to refine medicine!

She really wanted to say that, but in order not to scare these mortals, disturb Gu Heng's carefree days of playing in the mortal world, or anger him, Su Jinxi held back.

Moreover, she's here today to get her revenge!

The Mo family patriarch still dares to hold a wedding? Ha! She, Su Jinxi, the dignified elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat, will never tolerate being taken advantage of while she is sick!

Wait a minute, the Mohists will cause trouble!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was extremely lively, with guests from all walks of life exchanging toasts and drinks.

At this moment, the patriarch of the Mo family finally coughed twice.

The cough startled all the guests, who all looked up at the Mo family patriarch.

Suddenly, a burst of music rang out, and the once noisy banquet hall instantly fell silent, for the bride had made her entrance! Gu Heng also looked over there. The woman, dressed in a red dress and covered with a large red veil, had an incredibly graceful figure. Her steps were like lotus blossoms, and she slowly walked in from the side. With each step she took, she seemed to bring a gentle and seductive charm that struck the depths of the men's souls, causing many to let out low gasps of admiration.

Beside her stood an elder in a green robe, but his stern and even somewhat worried expression was rather strange.

But ordinary people who come to freeload don't care about that.

"She is indeed as beautiful as a fairy!"

"Tsk, such a beauty, I really don't know how the Mo family poached her from the Bai family."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard it was the Bai family who proposed the marriage alliance. There's quite a story behind it. And the woman who's going to marry into the family seems to be a good-for-nothing..."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, still unable to see her face, and many people were already staring wide-eyed at the woman.

Gu Heng narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing across them. Who exactly is behind that red veil?

He felt that this woman seemed somewhat familiar.

At this moment, the patriarch of the Mo family also spoke. He said in a voice as loud as a bell: "Everyone, today is a day of great joy for my Mo family. Bai Feier, the daughter of the Bai family patriarch, is now marrying Mo Cheng, the young master of my Mo family. Please bear witness!"

In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene was pushed to a very high level, and the guests all echoed each other. Mo Cheng also got up and walked to the side of the Mo family patriarch.

As for Bai Feier, no one could see what expression was on her face beneath the red scarf. Only the Mo family patriarch seemed to sense something was amiss...

Then, she walked over, but a sharp sword light followed her out!

With a single sword stroke, she ripped open her headscarf, and in an instant, the aura of a seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator erupted, stirring up the spiritual energy within ten steps around her, astonishing everyone! That aura rushed straight towards Mo Cheng, leaving him horrified, but fortunately, the Mo family patriarch was right beside him, and with a wave of his sleeve, he blocked it.

"Hmph, to get married!?"

"I, Bai Feier, was once a prodigy, and I still am a prodigy!"

"I will never marry a useless piece of trash like you!"

Bai Feier's sword was pointed directly at Mo Cheng, her long hair fluttering, her red dress like fire. This sudden change left everyone dumbfounded.

Su Jinxi looked at the stage, secretly amused...

It seems that she wasn't the only one who wanted the Mo family to be humiliated at this grand wedding.

Gu Heng was equally surprised, because the woman in the red dress, now tense and ready to fight, was none other than Bai Feier, who had visited his clinic earlier that day!
