Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 491: Chapter 244: Jealous Rivalry

Chen Cheng was to marry Linji City’s peerless twin beauties, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang of the Shen Family. The wedding was set for three days’ time.

When the news broke, it sent shockwaves through all of Linji City!

The city’s countless young prodigies had the strongest reaction of all!

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were peerlessly beautiful and possessed outstanding Martial Arts Talent.

Moreover, they hailed from the Shen Family, one of the Four Great Clans of the Inner City. With such an illustrious background, they were truly the darlings of destiny.

The two sisters had always been proud, never giving any of the young prodigies so much as a second glance.

Not even Young Master Jiang Lang of the Jiang Family—another of the Inner City’s Four Great Clans and the rumored successor to the City Lord—could elicit a single smile from them.

To say nothing of the other young prodigies in Linji City.

This only added to the peerless beauties’ aura of nobility and mystery!

In the eyes of countless young prodigies, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were figures to be admired from a distance, never to be sullied—lofty existences, like goddesses from the highest heavens.

An unspoken consensus had formed in everyone’s mind.

In all of Linji Prefecture, there was likely no one worthy of such peerless women.

Even in all of Su State City, perhaps only a supreme genius on the level of a True Disciple from the Great Dao Sect could possibly win their favor.

But now, the peerless beauties were suddenly getting married!

For the countless young prodigies of Linji City, this news was nothing short of a devastating blow!

The young prodigies were filled with grief and indignation, yet they dared not harbor any jealousy or hatred!

Because the man marrying the Shen Family’s peerless beauties was even more dazzling than they were—an existence of immense radiance, as brilliant as the sun, moon, and stars.

He was Chen Cheng, a prodigious Martial Dao genius from a humble background who, in just two or three short years, had risen meteorically to become the number one martial artist of Linji City’s younger generation.

Today, this Martial Dao genius was not only the number one martial artist of Linji City’s younger generation but also the Vice Director of the Linji City Demon Suppression Department!

He had become one of the few great figures in all of Linji City to wield absolute power!

In the face of such a powerful figure, even the most arrogant, condescending, and conceited young masters, who usually acted without restraint, dared not utter a single word of criticism!

All they could do was cry out in their hearts and then find other outlets to vent their grief and indignation!

As a result, for several days straight, business in Linji City’s brothels and pleasure boats boomed to an unprecedented degree.

Chen Cheng, of course, was unaware of these matters, and even if he had been, he had no time to concern himself with them.

After settling the marriage details with Patriarch Shen, Shen Mingyuan, and the Shen Family Elders, Chen Cheng began making the necessary arrangements.

Ordinarily, Chen Cheng’s wedding should have been held at his family home—the Chens’ residence on Locust Tree Lane in the Ruyi District of South City District.

However, Chen Cheng wasn’t one to fuss over such details and chose to hold the wedding at the Zheng Martial Arts Hall.

Shen Mingyuan had once offered to provide Chen Cheng with a large manor in the core of the Shen Family estate for him and his family to live in.

But Chen Cheng had politely declined.

’Before my master, Mr. Zheng, left for Su State City, he instructed me to look after the Zheng Martial Arts Hall. If I were to just leave, I would be failing the trust he placed in me.’

The Shen Family’s concern was undoubtedly his safety, but Chen Cheng was no longer the man he once was. He was now confident enough to fear no one in Linji City!

’Common thugs and minor villains pose no threat to me, of course.’

’The only ones who pose a threat are the Organ Refining Realm Ancestors of the Inner City’s Four Great Clans and the City Lord, Jiang Botao.’

’Now that I am the Vice Director of the Demon Suppression Department, these people wouldn’t dare make a move against me in broad daylight!’

’Besides, even if an Organ Refining Realm expert did attack me, I’m confident I could escape unscathed!’

A conversation with Director Xia Lingfeng at the Demon Suppression Department had made Chen Cheng realize something: one cannot be timid and fearful in all things.

When faced with dangers lurking in the shadows, one must strike back with force!

’Back then, my master, Mr. Zheng, was in an even worse situation than I am, but he managed to fear no one.’

’As his True Disciple, there’s no reason I can’t do the same!’

The wedding preparations proceeded in an orderly fashion. With Sixth Madam Luo Yunzhi helping to organize everything at the Zheng Martial Arts Hall, Chen Cheng had almost nothing to do.

At the Demon Suppression Department, Sang Lanzhi showed him the ropes to familiarize him with his duties, after which there wasn’t much else for him to do.

The Demon Suppression Department’s main duties were to monitor the movements of the Demon Sect and handle demonic calamities in various regions.

Daily affairs were handled by two other Vice Directors, both at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Perfection.

Chen Cheng, having just been promoted, was tasked with assisting them with overall coordination and scheduling, essentially serving as their aide.

According to regulations, when there were no Demon Slayer missions, Chen Cheng was required to report for duty at the Demon Suppression Department every day.

However, since Chen Cheng was about to be married, Xia Lingfeng granted him a few days of leave.

Chen Cheng was more than happy to have the free time.

With his own True Disciple courtyard abuzz with wedding preparations, Chen Cheng spent most of his days cultivating his Martial Dao alone in the backyard of Mr. Zheng’s main residence.

「Three days later.」

All arrangements were complete. The Zheng Martial Arts Hall was festooned with lanterns and streamers, creating a joyous, celebratory atmosphere.

His True Disciple courtyard was especially lively. Mr. Zheng’s five wives, all his young children, and the female family members of the Martial Arts Hall bustled about, helping with the final preparations.

Many people from the Shen Family had arrived as well.

In the main building of the Cyan Dragon Courtyard.

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, dressed in magnificent red bridal gowns, sat before a bronze mirror.

Exquisite makeup adorned their stunningly beautiful faces, making them appear even more radiant and lovely.

Mu Xiaowan, also in a red dress, periodically touched up their makeup or helped them select various pieces of jewelry.

After marrying into the Chens’, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang would still live in separate courtyards—the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger compounds, respectively.

However, they had many private things to discuss with Mu Xiaowan, so they had come to the Cyan Dragon Courtyard to get ready.
