“This…”
Chen Tao was still a little hesitant, but when he saw that Chen Yang and Chen Xuan had grown into pillars of the family, Chen Tao nodded.” Alright, I’ll guard the spiritual fields on behalf of our Chen family.””
When Chen Yang heard this, he quickly smiled and said,”Great Elder, I’m going to the Li family to propose marriage.”
Our Chen family is going to hold a grand wedding banquet.”
“Yes, sir!” Chen Xuan smiled and left.
The news of Chen Tao’s return swept across Nanyang like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
At the same time, another piece of news erupted. Patriarch Chen Tao was going to marry Patriarch Li Xue of the Li Clan.
All of a sudden, the aristocratic families of Nanyang looked at the Li family with envy.
From the moment Chen Tao married Li Xue, the Li family had been completely tied to the Chen family.
In order to cling to the Chen family’s thigh, the Li family was actually willing to marry off their ancestor. How ruthless!
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the wedding.
On this day, in Li Xue’s room at the Li family’s residence.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Li Xue said worriedly,””Little Ke, do you think I’ve aged?”
“What are you talking about?” Li Ke, the head of the Li family, laughed.”! see that your elegance has not diminished.””
“That’s good, that’s good.” Li Xue sighed.” It’s been decades. Brother Tao is finally willing to marry me.”
Li Ke still wanted to say something, but he suddenly heard a burst of welcoming music. He immediately smiled and said,”Forefather, the bridal escort team is here. I’ll go and welcome them first.”
“Okay, you can go.”
Outside the Li Residence, Chen Tao looked at the Li Residence nervously.
He was about to marry what he wanted, so even Chen Tao couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
Yang Chen saw through Tao Chen’s nervousness and came to Tao Chen’s side,””Forefather, now that you’ve gotten what you wanted, what’s there to be nervous about?”
Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Tao Chen nodded and stepped into the Li Residence.
“Li Ke greets Ancestor Chen, greets Patriarch Chen.”In the Li Residence, Li Ke smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
“Patriarch Li, there’s no need to be so polite.” Yang Chen reached out and helped Li Ke up. He smiled and said,”! wonder how the bride’s preparations are going?”
“Our ancestor is naturally prepared, but according to the rules, it won’t be so easy for Ancestor Chen to marry a bride.”Li Ke laughed.
This was an old rule in Da Qian. When one married a bride, they had to pass some small tests.
To prove that he could protect the bride and bring her happiness.
The commoners had to abide by this rule, and so did the members of the aristocratic families.
Seeing this, Chen Tao took a deep breath and slowly said,”Alright, if you have any tests, just bring it on.”
“Ancestor Chen, you’re great!” Li Ke clapped his hands, and a member of the Li family brought over a wooden table.
On the wooden table, there were three small bowls.
Li Ke came to the table and pointed at the small bowl on the table.”Ancestor Chen, Chen Clan Leader, these three bowls don’t look like much. However, one of the bowls was different from the other two bowls.”
“If the groom wants to protect the bride, he must have good observation skills. Only by being able to identify danger in time can he ensure that the bride will not step into danger.”
“Therefore, the first test is to find the different bowls. Take note, you can’t make a move. You can only stand there and observe.”
Chen Tao glanced at the three bowls and pointed at the porcelain bowl in the center.” There’s a crack in the lower right corner of this bowl.”
Seeing this, Li Ke couldn’t help but clap his hands.” Not bad. As expected of the famous Ancestor Chen, you passed this stage.””
Yang Chen, who was standing at the side, tried his best to hold back his laughter. What kind of assessment was this? As long as one cultivated to the Meridian Opening stage, they would be able to sense the difference.
This Li Ke was obviously going through a process to tell the Chen family that the Li family valued their bride very much.
“A groom not only needs to have keen observation skills, but also the strength to protect the bride. The second test was to lift the giant rock in front of him.”Li Ke pointed to the west.
Following Li Ke’s finger, Yang Chen and Yang Ming saw a huge rock that weighed about 500 pounds.
Seeing this, black lines appeared on Yang Chen’s head.
Good heavens, how much do you want your ancestor to be married off?
This 500 jin boulder was indeed a test for ordinary people. It was even an impossible test.
However, for Chen Tao, who was at the peak of Pulse Unsealing, it was as easy as taking something out of his pocket.
Immediately, Chen Tao moved to the front of the huge rock, mobilized his spiritual energy to his right hand, grabbed the exposed part of the huge rock, and lifted it up without any effort.
“Not bad, not bad.” Li Ke smiled and clapped as he walked to Chen Tao’s side.” It seems that the groom is not only observant, but his protection is also outstanding.”
“Next is the final test. After passing it, Ancestor Chen will be able to bring the beauty home.”
“The third test is to test the groom’s temper and patience.
The bride would throw a tantrum at times, and at this time, the groom would have to coax the bride to make her happy.”
“I’ve found two clansmen who don’t like to laugh for the groom. I’ll ask the groom to make the two of them laugh for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”
As Li Ke’s voice fell, two expressionless members of the Li family walked up to Chen Tao.
Chen Tao looked at the two of them and said,”Smile.”
“Hahahaha, this is too funny.”
“That’s right, that’s right. I can’t hold it in anymore, hahaha.”
Looking at the two’s clumsy performance, Chen Tao couldn’t help but feel that even if it was just a formality, there was no need to be so perfunctory..
