After a period of time, the higher-ups of the Howling Sword Hall finally appeared one after another. The first was the third hall master of the Howling Sword Hall, Ji Yun. He was dressed in a fiery red robe, and his slightly long hair and mustache were slightly pale. Although he looked a little haggard, he seemed to be in a good mood. After all, his son was getting married, and he was about to get married to his elder brother.
After he entered through the main door, he passed through the right side of the meeting hall and expressed his goodwill to the banquet guests he met along the way. When he was about to reach the tables of the Blue Water Palace, Xue Yan said to Han Yu in a low voice,"Hey, silly girl, you and your brother grew up in the Howling Sword Hall. Do you recognize that man?”
Han Yu looked at Ji Yun, who was slowly approaching from afar. She frowned slightly and had a complicated expression."That person is Uncle Ji Yun, my father's sworn brother. It's been eight years since we last met, and he's looked a lot more haggard.”
Xue Yan's bright eyes turned, and she said with a serious expression,""Then when he comes over later, don't attract his attention first. If he recognizes you, don't be in a hurry to admit it. Otherwise, if the two of you talk, I'm afraid it will ruin your brother's plan, understand?”
There was a hint of confusion in Han Yuqing's eyes, but she still nodded obediently and said,"Alright, Sister Yan 'er, I'll listen to you.”
At that moment, Ji Yun had almost arrived in front of them. He swept his gaze over them. Perhaps there were too many people present, or perhaps Han Yu had grown into a lady, or perhaps Ji Yun had other things on his mind. In short, he did not notice Han Yu. He only greeted the sect master at the table and walked forward.
When Ji Yun walked to the front desk, Situ Sheng had also appeared. He was still wearing the purple brocade robe and had a full beard. His eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life and he looked very haggard. However, he was not in a good mood like his third brother. He entered through the main door and passed by from the right. On the way, he only nodded politely at famous people before silently walking up to the front desk.
The last person to appear was naturally the groom, Ji Wenlong. With a fair and handsome face, he pretended to put his hands behind his back and swaggered into the door. His crimson clothes were slightly flirtatious, and his expression was particularly arrogant. He was much more energetic than the two hall masters. As soon as he entered the door, he walked straight to the front desk along the red carpet. He did not forget to greet the many Jianghu heroes with excitement.
Li Hua did not like this kind of arrogant young master. She frowned and said in a low voice,"Looks like the groom is in a good mood today. He's even swaggering when he walks.”
"It's no wonder he's in a bad mood after marrying a beauty like Yun Meng!”Xue Yan responded to Li Hua's words and looked at Ji Wenlong carefully. She frowned with some doubt and disappointment."What is Yun Meng thinking? A man like him…"
"Sister Yan 'er, do you also think there's a problem?”Han Yurou frowned." Brother Wenlong always bullied my brother when he was young. Sister Meng hated him because of that. How could she be willing to marry him?"”
When the girls heard this, they all nodded in understanding. Li Hua was a little confused, so she asked Han Yu,"You sound as if you grew up in the Howling Sword Hall, but why did Yan 'er say…?”
"Sister Li Hua, it's Yan 'er's fault." Xue Yan looked down at Li Hua apologetically and said," I was worried that you wouldn't bring Xiao Yu with you, so I lied that she was my sister. In fact, she's the daughter of Han Feng, the second master of the Howling Sword Hall. Her name is Han Yu. Her brother and I are best friends. The three of us came together this time, and our goal is…" Xue Yan told them the reason why she came to look for Yun Meng, as well as Han Ye's unfortunate encounter. Everyone fell silent after hearing that.
" Yan 'er..." Li Hua frowned and said angrily,""To think that I treated you as a sister the first time I saw you. You actually waited until now to tell me about this!”
" I'm sorry…" Xue Yan frowned and said guiltily,""I was worried that it would put you in a difficult position because this matter would affect the relationship between the various sects and our sect. After all, it's just a private matter. It's better for me and Dumbo to…"
At this moment, a disciple of the Blue Water Palace interrupted her and said,"Yan 'er, you really shouldn't have said it.”
"Yes." Another disciple of the Blue Water Palace added,""Because if you say it, it won't be your problem alone. It'll be our problem.”
Li Hua looked at Xue Yan with 30% anger and 70% concern and said,"We, the people of the Blue Water Palace, will never be unable to distinguish right from wrong. But if what you said is true, how can we, as sisters, stand by and watch?”
"That's right!" Even Yu 'er did not eat anything. She placed a bunch of grapes on the table and said,"It's not our style to let you face those bad guys alone!”
"Yan 'er, no matter what, we will definitely stand on your side!”The disciples of the Blue Water Palace said in unison.
" Sisters…" Xue Yan suddenly remembered that when she first met Feng Ru, Feng Ru had also stood on her side without saying a word. Only the Blue Water Palace could give her such a warm feeling of reliance. However, when she was touched, she shook her head and refused,""Sisters, I appreciate your kind intentions, but the enemies that Dumbo has to face are too many and too strong. You all treat me as a sister, so how can I drag you all into this? Besides, Dumbo himself doesn't like to involve others..."
"Are there many enemies?" Li Hua smiled disapprovingly." It's just nice. I've long disliked Wu Daoshan, Chen Qinghe, and those people."”
"Yes, I am." "Since you know that you're facing too many enemies, why don't you ask us to help you?" asked the other female disciples of the Blue Water Palace.”
Yu 'er laughed and said,"Hehe, beat them until they kneel on the ground and call me grandaunt."”
Yu 'er's words made all the girls laugh, while Han Yu's gentle brows furrowed as she thanked the disciples of the Blue Water Palace with tears of gratitude,"Thank you, everyone. If brother knew that so many people were willing to help him, he would definitely be very happy.”
"If you want to thank someone, thank Yan 'er." Li Hua smiled as she grabbed Xue Yan's fair little hand and said,"Who asked her to be our sister? How could an elder sister ignore her sister's difficulties? Let's wait and see."
Xue Yan looked at Li Hua and realized that this chivalrous lady from Jiangnan had an aura similar to Feng Ru's. It was the aura of faith and care. Many people found it strange that a sect founded by a group of women could last so long in the martial arts world. That was because there was a kind of power behind them. That kind of power was called unity!
Xue Yan looked at everyone and gradually stopped worrying. Her beautiful eyes flashed with determination, as if she and her sisters would be able to stand firmly in front of the enemy even if they were to face thousands of troops.
At that moment, Situ Sheng, Ji Yun, and Ji Wenlong had already gone up the stage. As the elders of the hall master, Situ Sheng and Ji Yun sat down on the only two seats at the front desk. Ji Wenlong, on the other hand, was in high spirits as he shouted to the crowd,""Alright, thank you very much for coming to my Howling Sword Hall. I'll invite Madam to take a look!”Ji Wenlong's words did not seem to take the two elders behind him seriously at all. The words he said were not in line with etiquette at all. His arrogant and frivolous personality was obvious on his face.
"Madam, come in!" Ji Wenlong shouted at the door.
Then, a woman in a red dress slowly walked to the front of the hall. Her head was covered with a red scarf, and her hands were elegantly placed on her abdomen. Just as her lotus feet stepped through the door, a fragrant and intoxicating wind blew in. When the people in the hall smelled this fragrance, regardless of whether they were men or women, they all felt relaxed and happy. They floated as if they were in a fairyland, as if they were flying in the nine heavens.
As the fragrance passed, the hall was silent. Everyone turned their heads to the door when they smelled the fragrance. They saw a woman in red with a graceful figure walking along the carpet. Although no one could see her face because of the red scarf, they could only see her beautiful hair that was as bright as spring water and silky silk. They could only see her delicate skin that was as white as snow and flawless white jade. They could only see her wonderful state like the West River in the water and the Moon Goddess. Her waist was like flowing silk, her hands were like fine clouds, and her figure and curves were full of charm. If it was a little less, it would be delicate and moving. This was a wonderful figure that only a fairy from the Nine Heavens could possess!
Ji Wenlong looked at the stunned faces of the crowd and his expression became even more smug. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the heroes below the stage."Everyone, how is my wife?"
Most of the men were stunned. Then, they came back to their senses and praised Ji Wenlong, such as " something extraordinary "," something that can be found in heaven but not on earth "," a beauty that can topple a country "," unparalleled ", and so on. Wu Daoshan, Chen Qinghe, and the others were cursing Ji Wenlong for picking up such a Celestial Being. Only Ji Wenlong was still smiling proudly.
"She is Situ Yunmeng?" Li Hua looked at the beauty walking slowly, her almond eyes widening as she exclaimed,"She's already so seductive even if she doesn't take off her veil. If she does, wouldn't she want those men's lives?”
"Maybe…maybe it's just her body that's attractive. When she uncovers it, her appearance is ordinary.”Yu 'Er gulped. She did not have much confidence when she spoke.
"Yu 'Er is wrong." Xue Yan crossed her arms in front of her chest, looked at Yun Meng, and said with a smug smile,""I was lucky enough to be her companion, and I daresay many girls would be ashamed of themselves if they took off that veil.”
"Is it that exaggerated?" Yu 'Er said unhappily, but her expression seemed to be convinced.
Xue Yan nodded confidently, but she felt someone tugging at the corner of her clothes. She turned around and saw Han Yu frowning and staring at Yun Meng. She said to Xue Yan,""Sister Yan 'er, I keep feeling that there's something wrong with Sister Meng.”
"Yes, there's still a big problem!" " She left the team without my permission," Xue Yan said unhappily." Now, she's marrying such a frivolous and flamboyant guy for no reason. I'm worried for her!" However, she listened to whatever Ji Wenlong called her, and she didn't know if she was forced to do so.”
"I don't know why, but I feel like Sister Meng was forced to do this," Han Yu said worriedly.”
"Actually, I think so too." As Xue Yan spoke, she gently placed a hand on Han Yu's knee, raised her delicate brows, and said,"Don't worry. As long as we know that Yun Meng was forced, we'll drag her down even if that idiot doesn't come.”
Han Yu nodded when she heard this, but the worry between her brows was difficult to dispel.
While Xue Yan was comforting Han Yu, she was also a little anxious."Where did this stupid fool go? Yun Meng was about to get married, and it would be too late if she didn't come!”
However, there was no sign of Han Ye. Yun Meng went up to the stage and stood side by side with Ji Wenlong. However, Situ Sheng, as the hall master, still had to say something before the ceremony. At this time, Ji Wenlong pretended to invite Situ Sheng over and said respectfully,"Uncle, your son-in-law and your daughter are about to get married. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Although Situ Sheng didn't like Ji Wenlong, he couldn't say anything now that things had come to this. He stood in front of his daughter and Ji Wenlong and said to the crowd,"Thank you, martial arts heroes, for coming to my sect to attend my beloved daughter and nephew Wenlong's wedding banquet.”As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that eight years ago, he had discussed with his two sworn brothers about the martial arts competition and marriage. He couldn't help but look at the vicissitudes of life as he lamented,"It's a pity that my second brother died early, and my niece is also cultivating in Mount Shu. My only nephew, Han Ye, who I was lucky enough to meet, is unwilling to return. Although I know that many people in the martial arts world want to get rid of him, I only hope that he can attend this wedding banquet.”
Ji Wenlong felt that this uncle of his was really talkative, but due to the occasion and his own identity, he only sneered and thought,"Humph, you old thing. After that good-for-nothing Han Ye dies, I'll marry Yun Meng, kill you, and take over the Howling Sword Hall. Then, I'll torture your daughter every day and make her beg for death!”
No one knew that Ji Wenlong's heart was so twisted. They only saw Situ Sheng sweep his gaze across everyone present and sigh, as if he was very regretful.
The hall was silent for a while. Everyone had their own ideas. Situ Sheng sighed and was about to turn around when he heard someone in the crowd shout coldly,"Uncle, don't sigh. Isn't nephew here?”
"What?!" When Ji Wenlong, Wu Daoshan, Chen Qinghe, and Chen Yaohai heard the voice, they could not help but be shocked. Even the usually calm Li Yinsong could not sit still. They all turned their eyes to the table of the Divine Martial Temple where the voice came from. They saw the person who called himself an ascetic monk from the Western Regions sitting at the table flip off his black hoodie and reveal his delicate face to everyone. His cold and indifferent eyes made everyone present tremble with fear.
When Han Yu saw the man with a cold expression, she held Xue Yan's slim arm and said excitedly,""Brother is here! Brother is finally here!"
