Chapter 966: Wang Mingren Remarries

Chen Xiang'er often argued with Wang Mingren over trivial matters and had a bad temper. While Wang Mingren could tolerate these things, Chen Xiang'er repeatedly challenged his boundaries, publicly embarrassed him, and even sent people to monitor him. Wang Mingren could no longer bear it.

He wasn't a prisoner, so why should he be monitored? Chen Xiang'er clearly didn't trust him.

Kindness is easily forgotten, while wrongs are long remembered. People easily forget the good done to them, but they always remember the bad.

Chen Xiang'er was indeed very good to Wang Mingren, but her actions had eroded all his positive feelings for her. Now, the mere thought of Chen Xiang'er made Wang Mingren feel sick.

One doesn't fear scrutiny as much as comparison.

Ximen Feng was different from Chen Xiang'er; she gave Wang Mingren ample respect and trusted him completely. In front of Ximen Feng, Wang Mingren felt like a man; in front of Chen Xiang'er, he felt worthless. With every comparison, his aversion to Chen Xiang'er grew stronger.

"She should change, right?" Wang Changsheng said, somewhat unsurely.

"Change? I thought that way too at first. I gave her so many chances. Every time I yielded, she pushed further, becoming increasingly outrageous. Changsheng, you're a man too; tell me, if it were you, could you tolerate it? It was Junior Sister Li's birthday celebration, and I didn't tell Chen Xiang'er, I just went to congratulate her myself. She suddenly showed up at Junior Sister Li's dwelling and subjected Junior Sister Li to a barrage of very harsh and sarcastic remarks. After that, the disciples who used to be close to me stopped contacting me much. I have my dignity too."

Wang Mingren roared loudly, his expression somewhat distorted, as if he wanted to devour Wang Changsheng.

Hearing this, Wang Changsheng didn't know how to respond. He wasn't Wang Mingren and couldn't fully comprehend Wang Mingren's pain.

Wang Ruyan always showed Wang Changsheng great respect in front of others and never once lost her temper with him. Wang Changsheng found it hard to believe that a woman like Chen Xiang'er existed in the world.

Chen Xiang'er embarrassed Wang Mingren in front of others and even sent people to monitor him—her need for control was simply too strong! Wang Ruyan would never act this way; in fact, she even encouraged Wang Changsheng to marry Fairy Ziyue! They already had descendants spanning ten generations and their relationship was excellent.

"Uncle Mingren, so you divorced her? I heard she has a significant background; I'm afraid she might make trouble for you in the future." Wang Changsheng said vaguely. If Chen Haibin became angry, he would first cause trouble for Wang Mingren, and then for the Wang family.

Wang Changsheng felt a huge headache. If Wang Mingren provoked a Nascent Soul cultivator over other matters, he could understand it. Even if it were due to romantic entanglements, he could also understand, but Wang Changsheng found this particular situation very difficult to handle.

"I've already divorced her. I feel sick just seeing her now. Martial Uncle Chen has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, but as long as I act carefully, he shouldn't be able to do anything to me. At worst, we'll find a place to hide until I reach the Nascent Soul stage, then we'll return to the main sect." Wang Mingren's aversion to Chen Xiang'er was extreme. Given that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had already achieved Nascent Soul cultivation, he presumed Chen Haibin wouldn't go too far, otherwise, it would be awkward for everyone involved.

Of course, as a disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, he still had to obey the sect's commands. He believed his other martial uncles would not allow Chen Haibin to act recklessly, especially since his own aptitude was good, making his chances of reaching Nascent Soul relatively high. Wang Mingren was already at the seventh layer of Core Formation and was confident he could cultivate to the ninth layer within fifty years and attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. If he didn't become one of the 'Five Prodigies of Taiyi', acquiring a Nascent Soul spiritual item would require an enormous amount of contribution points. If he became one of the 'Five Prodigies of Taiyi', upon reaching the ninth layer of Core Formation, he could apply for two Nascent Soul spiritual items, along with other supplementary items like magic treasures or formations.

Wang Changsheng didn't know what to say. It's difficult for even an upright official to settle family disputes. This was a relationship dispute, and Wang Changsheng found it hard to judge right from wrong, especially since it was all Wang Mingren's side of the story. Wang Mingren had already divorced Chen Xiang'er; the matter was settled. Even if Wang Changsheng blamed him, it would be useless. Given Wang Mingren's attitude, he clearly had no intention of reconciling with Chen Xiang'er. Frankly, Wang Mingren reconciling with Chen Xiang'er would have been beneficial for the Wang family's development, but since Wang Mingren utterly loathed Chen Xiang'er, there was nothing that could be done.

Wang Changsheng let out a bitter smile. He had already provoked the Nine Nether Sect and the Sun Moon Palace, and now it seemed he was about to provoke the Taiyi Immortal Sect too. He felt it was incredibly difficult.

"Changsheng, if you find this difficult, we won't force you. I can take Feng'er and leave, and we'll return after we reach the Nascent Soul stage." Wang Mingren said sincerely, a hint of nervousness in his expression.

Wang Changsheng sighed deeply and said, "There's no need for that. That would be no different from betraying the sect. If he brands you as such, you won't be able to explain it away. Just be very careful! Since you're determined to marry young friend Ximen, as a junior, I won't stop you. I just hope you don't regret it."

The weight on Wang Mingren's heart lifted. He said, "I've already made one mistake; I won't make another. To be honest, I know I've wronged Xiang'er. If there's a next life, I'll make it up to her."

"Since you've decided, then strike while the iron is hot. Three days from now is an auspicious day. If you both agree, you can get married then, and we will be your witnesses."

"Changsheng, thank you." Wang Mingren said gratefully.

"As family, we don't need formalities. I believe that Great-Uncle Yaolong, wherever he is, would also wish for you to pursue your own happiness." Wang Changsheng vaguely remembered Wang Yaolong telling him, "You're still young," when he first arrived in Immortal Fate City. In the blink of an eye, Wang Changsheng was now an elder, and Wang Yaolong was no longer alive.

Three days later, Wang Mingren and Ximen Feng were married on Silver Serpent Island. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, being of a lower seniority, sat to the sides as Wang Mingren and Ximen Feng bowed to Wang Yaolong's portrait.

"First bow to the elders, second bow to heaven and earth, third bow between husband and wife. The ceremony is complete."

Under the witness of numerous Wang family members, Wang Mingren and Ximen Feng officially became husband and wife.

"Great-Uncle Mingren, today is your joyous day. Your granddaughter will drink first to show respect; please drink at your leisure."

"Great-Uncle Mingren, your grandson toasts you."

"Ancestor, your grandson will drink first to show respect."

Wang Mingren held a high seniority, so many clan members toasted him. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan also offered him toasts. Wang Mingren accepted every drink; today was the happiest day of his life.

An hour later, Wang Mingren returned to his room, his face flushed. Ximen Feng sat by the bed, her head covered with a red silk veil. Wang Mingren removed the red silk veil, revealing Ximen Feng's exquisite face. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she seemed a little excited. She had waited a long time for this day, and now her dream had finally come true.

"Feng'er, I've finally married you. From today onwards, you are my wife. Based on my understanding of Chen Xiang'er, she might try to retaliate against us. You..."

Before Wang Mingren could finish, Ximen Feng's fingers gently covered his mouth. With a face full of tenderness, she said, "Husband, from today onwards, we are husband and wife. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be by your side. As I've said, 'May we find one heart, and grow old together, never to part.'"

Wang Mingren choked up a little, nodding as he said, "Okay, Feng'er. I promise you too, I will always be good to you. In this life, I will never let you down. If I ever do, may I be struck by lightning and..."

Before he could finish, Ximen Feng stood up, wrapped her arms around Wang Mingren's neck, and pressed her red lips to his. Soon after, their clothes flew in all directions, and the room was filled with the vibrant intimacy of spring.
