Chapter 350: Gathering (4)
They say a woman has two faces: before makeup and after makeup.
The power of the bride’s makeup was truly remarkable.
Though her body was childlike, her striking features were unmatched anywhere. Jeokhwa-ran flaunted a radiant beauty like a single red rose.
Cheongso-so, whose features had always been delicate and whose face was as white as snow, displayed a fresh beauty that could rival any ion drink model.
However, the wedding proceeded with such swiftness, precision, and efficiency that there wasn’t much time to admire the bride’s beauty.
From the moment Jie Hua and I entered, exchanged bows, shared a toast, and our master, today’s officiant, ascended the podium—it hadn’t even taken twenty minutes.
It was only natural. After all, so many people were waiting for the event that would begin after the wedding ceremony: the Second Heavenly Martial Arts Tournament.
It felt a bit disappointing, like the spotlight had been stolen from the main event, but what could one do?
It’s only natural to anticipate a bloody battle far more than a tedious wedding ceremony.
What’s more, this event even featured young masters representing each faction. Comparing it to modern times, it felt akin to a numbered UFC championship event. For martial artists, it was certainly something to look forward to.
And perhaps reflecting the guests’ mindset,
“Don’t fight, live well. Have lots of children too.”
The master delivered a wedding speech in a mere 17 characters, including special symbols.
