Chapter 412: 264 Gathering in Pingjiang City, the Most Bizarre Engagement Ceremony (3 more updates)_2

...

Tang Wan hung up the phone and soon arrived at the train station. She waited at the exit for about ten minutes before she saw a familiar figure.

"Master Qiao!" Tang Wan waved at him.

The man, in his early forties, was lean and sharp, with neatly cropped hair and dressed in a black cloth shirt. Despite the warmth of spring, his attire still gave a somewhat chilly impression, yet his posture was proud and erect.

His proud demeanor and sharp eyes made even the natural chill of early spring pale in comparison.

"I’ll take your luggage." Tang Wan walked over, just about to take his luggage, but he refused.

"I’ll handle it myself."

His voice was extremely cold, even devoid of warmth, and then he followed up by saying, "It’s quite heavy, you can’t handle it."

Tang Wan just smiled; his way of showing care was always so awkward.

"I’m just getting engaged, I didn’t expect you to trouble yourself to come all this way..."

"Your master couldn’t make it back, so he insisted I come to represent our sect as family and to support you."

Tang Wan’s master specialized in Cyan Feather burning blue and often used jade, while the man before her was Qiao Wangbei from the Wusu Qiao Family, who excelled at jade carving, devoted and even obsessed, often secluding himself at home without much social grace, his speech always carrying a hint of aloofness.

Since he was a good friend of her master and was technically two years her senior, although not from the same sect, Tang Wan still addressed him as ’Master Qiao.’

"Thank you, Master Qiao." Tang Wan smiled.

Qiao Wangbei took a deep breath, grumbling to himself. His apprentice was getting married and couldn’t make it back, and he had to come and hold the fort? What was this all about?

When asked about it, the response he got was, "Because you look rather fierce and can keep things under control!"

An engagement party, not a brawl. What’s with controlling the situation?

And it’s not that I look fierce, just a bit stern!

Qiao Wangbei arrived alone, without any companions or acquaintances, and as he was a close friend of her master, Tang Wan arranged for him to stay at her home.

As soon as he entered the house, Qiao Wangbei opened his luggage, "Wanwan, tomorrow is your engagement. I’ll give you your gift now."

"Master Qiao, you’re too kind. I’m really happy that you could come; you shouldn’t have gone to any expense..."
