Chapter 2176: Fetching the Bride
Old Patriarch of the Lin Family, asked the question in her heart.
"Tian Ce, who is this Dong Lin? Grandma has never heard of a hidden clan with the surname Dong."
She thought for a long time and couldn't think of any hidden clan with the surname Dong.
Lin Tiance explained to her, "This Dong Lin is the future son-in-law of the Qin Family…"
As he spoke, he recounted the events from the Qin Family banquet to the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family.
When she heard that he was just a First Stage Grandmaster yet could surpass levels to defeat Tang Que, who was suppressed to the realm of Third Stage Great Master, and call Tianxing Feng and Long Ban brothers, the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family was also surprised.
"It seems that this Dong Lin is a potential stock. In the future, he will surely become a pillar of the hidden Qin Family." The Old Patriarch of the Lin Family nodded with a smile.
She seemed very satisfied with her grandson's friendship with this person.
Seeing the people her grandson Lin Tiance was now befriending, all hidden clan's proud sons, at this moment the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family felt that he had truly grown up.
Now, he had grown from a mundane world's young master to a proud son of the Martial Arts World.
It seems that his trip to Kunlun was not in vain!
At this moment, Lin Dong had already walked in.
It was also his first time coming to the ancestral home of the Lin Family, though he was born here, he felt no sense of belonging to this place.
"Grandma, this is Brother Dong Lin." Lin Tiance quickly introduced Dong Lin to his grandmother.
At the same time, he also introduced the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family to Lin Dong.
"Brother Dong Lin, this is my grandma. The Old Patriarch of our Lin Family from the Capital City…" Lin Tiance also introduced the other party to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong gave a slight bow to the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family: "I've seen the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family."
Given his current identity, he had to pay this respect.
The Old Patriarch of the Lin Family laughed and said, "Young Master Dong, there's no need to be so polite. It's my grandson Tiance's great fortune in three lifetimes, and also our Lin Family's honor, to have such a young hero like yourself as his best man."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Old Patriarch of the Lin Family didn't say much more, and left everything for Lin Tiance to handle.
Lin Tiance said to Lin Dong and Xiao Huang, "Brother Dong, Brother Xiao, I'll explain the process of today's big wedding to you first."
"In a moment, we'll start with breakfast. After breakfast, we prepare attire, red packets, flowers, and such things…"
"We set off at ten in the morning to fetch the bride. First, we bring the bride back to our Lin Family Ancestral Home to serve tea to our Lin Family elders. At noon, we have lunch at our Lin Family."
"After the events here conclude, we go to the Jingdu Cathedral in the afternoon, and the wedding ceremony officially starts there in the evening…"
After introducing the process, Lin Tiance then led Lin Dong, Xiao Huang, and the others to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Lin Tiance, Lin Dong, Xiao Huang, and others changed into new clothes, and Lin Dong also changed into the specially prepared groomsman attire.
The quality of the clothing naturally needed no mention, all were custom-made suits by those designers of the Ancient European Country's royalty, worth millions.
In addition, Lin Tiance also prepared many red packets, flowers, candies, and other gifts for fetching the bride.
At ten o'clock, Lin Tiance first made a call to Qiao Xue, informed them, and then set off to fetch the bride.
Lin Dong and Xiao Huang, as the groomsmen, took the groom's car with Lin Tiance.
Of course, there were far more people going to fetch the bride than just the three of them. Besides them, there were other people too.
Some of Lin Tiance's cousins, younger cousins, and some of his other friends, like Wang Xiuxin, were also there.
Lin Dong naturally also noticed Wang Xiuxin.
Although Wang Xiuxin had a good relationship with Lin Tiance, he was obviously not qualified to be his best man and was playing a subordinate role in the wedding party.
However, he was very clear about his status, without any complaints.
Lin Dong gave Wang Xiuxin a faint glance, having spared him many times in the past for Wang Taisui's sake, but he showed no remorse.
This time, Lin Dong would not let him go.
Seeing Lin Dong looking at him, Wang Xiuxin's face also slightly changed, as in the past in Southborne, he had conflicts with Lin Dong under the guise of 'Dong Lin'.
At this moment meeting his gaze, he quickly lowered his head.
The current opponent was not someone he could afford to offend.
Even Young Master Lin Tiance treated him as a guest of honor; how could he, a lackey of Lin Tiance, dare not to bow down?
The car quickly arrived at the villa community where Qiao Xue was.
At the entrance to the community were festive decorations hanging.
There stood two rows of people, all big shots from the Capital City.
Among them, were people from the Qiao Family in the Capital City!
The head of the Qiao Family was waiting here.
Regarding the Qiao Family from the Capital City, Lin Dong had previously also interacted with some of their people. For example, Qiao Xixi of the Qiao Family, and Qiao Renyi of the Qiao Family…
Previously when Lin Dong was in Jiangbei, the Qiao Family in the Capital City even sent two Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists, the Deaf old man and the Blind old man, to deal with Elder Qiao.
Both the Deaf old man and the Blind old man were slain by Lin Dong.
This event was already a long time ago, over a year ago.
At this moment, Lin Dong was seeing the head of the Qiao Family in the Capital City for the first time.
The Qiao Family, although considered a big family, was a few levels below that of the Lin Family from the Capital City.
Whether in terms of the family's martial arts foundation, commercial foundation, or power, they were far inferior to the Lin Family from the Capital City.
The head of the Qiao Family looked about fifty and was also a martial arts expert, but only with the strength of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist.
Not even as good as Lin Tiance!
Previously, the Qiao Family from the Capital City clearly showed hostility towards Elder Qiao's branch. However, after learning that Qiao Xue and Lin Tiance had a marriage agreement, they immediately came to apologize.
They also gained Chu Yunxiu's forgiveness and now became part of Qiao Xue's maternal family.
This is also why the Qiao Family members appeared here.
At this moment, seeing the groom's car arrive, everyone was in a commotion.
"The groom is here."
"Let's ask the groom for red packets later."
"..."
Amidst everyone's cheers, the car door opened, and Lin Tiance got out with Lin Dong, Xiao Huang, and others.
Lin Dong observed the surroundings and found that Qiao Bing was not among the crowd.
He also activated his "Perspective" ability and found that Qiao Bing was not in the villa either.
In the villa, Qiao Xue and Chu Yunxiu were present, but Qiao Bing was not.
At this moment, Lin Dong's eyes became increasingly cold.
It indeed confirmed his suspicion.
Qiao Bing, like Li Qingcheng, had been imprisoned by Lin Tiance and the people behind him.
As for where they were being held, even Lin Dong didn't know.
"Surely, it must be a Heavenly Realm martial artist who covered up their auras, causing my Ten Thousand Miles Tracking to be unable to pinpoint their exact location." Lin Dong secretly said in his heart.
Earlier, he had used the Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Technique to investigate the whereabouts of Li Qingcheng and Qiao Bing but found nothing.
Only a Heavenly Realm martial artist could avoid the tracking of Lin Dong's Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Technique.
This is why Lin Dong agreed to be Lin Tiance's best man.
He wanted to find out the whereabouts of Li Qingcheng and Qiao Bing.
