Chapter 97: Make a Wedding Reception
Chapter 97
Su Muhan, a cultivator, not only could compete with the heavens for longevity but also had extremely strong recovery abilities. Although his nose was bruised and his face swollen last night, he had already returned to his handsome appearance early next morning.
Song Jixing had originally planned to find a studio to do some research first and then ask her senior martial sister what kind of photography style she liked before selecting some photos to try out.
But she was directly conquered by Shen Feixian’s photography works instead.
Shen Feixian presented the photos he usually took, along with some special effects he made himself.
"Junior martial sister, whatever look you like, I can capture for you. I guarantee that the photos I take with my phone will look better than those taken by photographers out there. Junior martial sister, will you consider me?" Shen Feixian said earnestly.
"We are all part of the same sect. It would be unwise to give benefits to outsiders. Junior martial sister, I can give you a 30% discount, what do you think about that?"
After seeing Shen Feixian's works, Yu Qing was quite satisfied and nodded.
Yu Qing: "It’s fine if senior martial brother can be the photographer."
The two started a pleasant cooperation. Yu Qing spent a few thousand to buy Shen Feixian a used camera as compensation for the photography.
Since wedding photos had been taken already, it would be too wasteful if they didn't get married.
Shen Feixian somehow managed to find out much information, all of which he told Song Jixing in detail.
Things like the two were childhood sweethearts, the sects and different cultivation techniques they practiced, as well as their parents and relatives.
More importantly, Shen Feixian found out one critical piece of information. The two had agreed to become cultivation companions after both forming their Golden Cores.
Yu Qing was the first to form her Golden Core while Su Muhan was still lingering in the Foundation Establishment Stage for over twenty years. He finally came to Qingyun Sect yesterday, which was also the day they traveled to this world together.
It just so happened to be the day Qingyun Sect’s treasury opened.
Su Muhan was not originally on the guest list. He had just broken through to the Golden Core Realm and rushed directly over. Yu Qing was unaware of all this.
He had assumed they could immediately share this joyous news, but unexpectedly, the two had almost become eternally separated. Fortunately, Su Muhan also crossed over.
If not for true love, who would have arrived so quickly?
At the end, Shen Feixian even artistically added, "Junior martial sister, there is a common saying that one day in heaven is equal to a hundred years on earth. You see, this Su fellow cultivator was only late by a step, but he almost missed senior martial sister Yu for over half a year! Junior martial sister, you still have to cherish the person right in front of you!"
After listening, Song Jixing felt somewhat moved internally but did not show it externally. She just calmly opened her mouth, "Senior martial brother, what books have you been reading recently?"
"I haven't been reading books, just some TV shows."
"Then senior martial brother should read less of those!"
Not every TV show can be learned from!

Marriage is a major event, not to be taken lightly even in the mortal realm.
Preparing a wedding banquet involves all aspects, including the vows exchanged by the bride and groom before the witnesses of heaven and earth, as well as entertaining guests and decorating the bridal chamber.
As soon as Wang Sheng heard that the school was going to host a wedding celebration, he went directly to Qi Yun to recommend himself.
Wang Sheng pulled Qi Yun and started introducing himself right at the school gate: "Teacher Qi, don't look at me as just a seafood seller. I can cook too! Starting from my great grandfather's grandfather, my family has been working in kitchens. My ancestors were even imperial chefs with a family culinary legacy! Our company's procedures are very well-established now. We have catered all sizes of commercial banquets, with the largest one serving three thousand guests..."
Wang Sheng chatted away about his credentials, but seeing Qi Yun didn't seem very interested, he immediately changed his tone.
"Teacher Qi, I didn't come to you for this job to make money, I just want to contribute my share of heart and effort!"
In fact, Qi Yun didn't really understand matters regarding the cafeteria. His job was to teach the children while handling other things were left to martial brother Shen and elder Wen Ren.
Considering the special nature of this matter, Qi Yun didn't dare agree right away. But he first asked martial brother Shen Feixian and made a call back very soon. The reply from the other end was also prompt.
As soon as Shen Feixian heard that Wang Sheng's place could cater large banquets, he agreed straight away.
It was a rare joyous occasion to let everyone take a break. The outer sect disciples needn’t cook either and could just focus on eating.
When asked about any special requirements for the banquet menu, Shen Feixian only gave one requirement: it didn’t matter whether the dishes were expensive or not, the key was that everyone must eat their fill and eat with gusto openly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng nodded and asked again, "Then how many tables of guests will there be?"
Qi Yun saw the message sent by martial brother Shen Feixian and said, "For a start, calculate the dishes based on two hundred tables. There can be more dishes but fewer people may turn up."
Wang Sheng took careful notes but felt something amiss later when preparing. What did it mean to have more dishes but fewer people?
Since it was a wedding banquet held in a school, Wang Sheng had assumed by default it was for school teachers. For teacher's weddings, more student colleagues and such would be invited as guests, so having guests to fill two hundred tables shows the depth of connections.
There were no major requirements on the dishes, only the request to have the quantity for two hundred tables prepared for both lunch and dinner. Finally, Wang Sheng also asked about the date of the wedding celebration.
Shen Feixian: "The banquet can be held whenever the dishes are ready!"
Wang Sheng: ???
Wang Sheng had heard of selecting an auspicious date to hold the wedding but never selecting the dishes first before deciding on the wedding date.
In a daze, Wang Sheng asked again to confirm if this was an engagement celebration.
Qi Yun’s reply was very definite: it was a wedding celebration, the kind where the bride and groom complete their marriage rituals.

Since it was senior martial sister getting married, Song Jixing as the junior martial sister had to prepare some gifts.
Back in the cultivation world, Song Jixing could have easily gifted spirit stones or artifacts. But things were different now. Here she was dirt poor without anything.
After racking her brains for a long time, Song Jixing decided to clean up a room in the rented house next door as the bridal chamber for senior martial sister. Additionally, she also prepared a car.
From her interactions with senior martial sister these days, Song Jixing could sense her fondness for cars through her words and actions.
The kind that could be driven on the streets and refueled.
Although senior martial sister didn't have a driver's license, Song Jixing believed they would be able to resolve this issue soon.

The wedding banquet proceeded just as Shen Feixian said: whenever the dishes were prepared, it could directly be held.
Wang Sheng spent seven days to prepare banquet dishes for four hundred tables, along with over forty chefs.
Fortunately, the school cafeteria was spacious enough to provide sufficient operating space for these chefs.
Over a hundred outer sect disciples plus some guests who had travelled from afar attended this wedding celebration.
Apart from them were also people from the company Yu Qing worked at, as well as the agents of Song Jixing and Feng Juechen respectively.
Song Jixing had directly taken leave to attend while it seemed like Feng Juechen had postponed his activities to be here.
The reason given for the postponement was simple. Feng Juechen also informed his fans directly on Weibo that he was going to attend his senior martial sister's wedding celebration (note: not Song Jixing).
By stating it was not Song Jixing, could it really not be Song Jixing?
In the eyes of the fans, Feng Juechen only had one named senior martial sister: Song Jixing!
Just this one message successfully crashed Weibo again.
