Chapter 227: Chapter 226: Gathering of Heroes

"Ghosts!"

The woman screamed, pulling the man along as they ran frantically, heedless of the black night, the slippery path, or the heavy rain.

Yet they failed to notice Lin Hao in the midst of the thunder, his lips twitching slightly.

Once they were far away, Lin Hao had no choice but to get up and move to a new location.

Not long after he left, as anticipated, the duo returned but found the place empty, devoid of anything.

Battling against the lightning, Lin Hao sprinted with a speed that could surpass some cars.

En route, he used Primordial Qi to shield himself from the lightning and took out his mobile phone from the Void Ring.

He knew that today he would receive information about Lan Xiyue.

As soon as the phone appeared in his hand and connected to the network, several text messages popped up.

Apart from messages of concern from his parents, there were also messages from the Song Family and Huai Shian sending an address and inquiring how he was doing.

The last message was a multimedia message,

Opening the message, Lin Hao saw a photo of the beautiful and elegant Lan Xiyue, smiled, and then put the phone away as he searched for a new place to continue his tribulation.

...

This night was exceptionally long, the sky densely covered with dark clouds as the relentless rain poured down until morning without a sign of stopping.

Water pooled in the streets, and early commuters complained about the grim weather.

However, troubling as the weather might be, the day’s business must go on, including the Lan Family’s wedding, which showed no signs of being postponed.

Early in the morning, the Ye Family’s wedding procession sped down road after road toward the Lan Family’s residence.

Lan Xiyue, of the Lan Family, did not wear a wedding dress but instead donned casual clothes, which still could not hide her charm.

"Miss, why aren’t you wearing a wedding dress?" Xiao Rou asked.

"The sight of me in a wedding dress is not for just anyone to behold," Lan Xiyue replied, her face icy. If it wasn’t for her personal promise to this marriage, she would have left long ago.

At such a time, as a member of the Lan Family, she could not let them be embarrassed.

Moreover, she vaguely knew from her grandfather that the Lan Family was facing a significant crisis, although she did not know the specifics.

But she was clear that this marriage carried a great responsibility.

She both hoped for something unexpected to happen to the marriage and hoped it would not.

The Ye Family’s wedding procession was exceptionally grand, with more than a hundred luxury cars marching through the streets and alleys to the Lan Family’s villa complex, triggering countless people to take photos.

It was not yet bright outside.

At least, it wasn’t very bright due to the heavy rain, making the whole of Binhai gloomy and somber.

The Ye Family’s fetching of the bride went smoothly, remarkably so.

Ye Jiujun had initially planned to go with more than ten friends to crash the gate.

Who knew that as soon as they reached the door, Lan Xiyue came out by herself, not even giving her a glance before sitting in the main wedding car.

"Brother Jiu, this..." Ye Jiujun’s friend hesitated, as traditionally, there should be a process of "battling" for the bride.

This turn of events was unexpected for everyone.

A dark shade flashed through Ye Jiujun’s eyes.

Arrogant?

Once she was married to him and it was a done deal, he wanted to see if she could still be so haughty.

The women of Ye Jiujun were always well-kept and obedient.

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, Ye Jiujun followed the main wedding car.

The other guests naturally didn’t dare to say much, one by one they got into their vehicles, and the long procession began to make its way back.

The location of the Ye Family’s feast wasn’t far from Binhai, nor was it especially distant from the Lan Family; these great families are almost always clustered in areas renowned for their eminent figures and inspiring landscapes.

The Lan Family is located on the eastern side of the scenic area, while the Ye Family is on the southern side. In terms of land area, the two are quite similar, each possessing the size of a mountain.

The wedding was held within the Ye Family’s private hotel.

This private hotel was the epitome of luxury, far beyond the scope of star-rated evaluations. If one must rate it, it would be at least five stars and up.

Every tile in the hotel, every piece of decor, was incredibly valuable; even the trash bins were made of pure silver. It was a place of opulence and extravagance.

The first floor of the hotel was specially prepared for wedding ceremonies. Early in the morning, the place was already teeming with people, as one big shot after another graced the venue with their presence.

At the entrance, the person at the registration desk loudly announced each guest’s name.

"Zhang Family, Zhang Shaosheng!"

"Jiangbei’s Liu Family, Liu Yuhuang."

"The Zhong Family from Jingdu..."

"Tiandu Club, Gong Yuliang arrives."

Each name called may not have been famous, unseen in the public eye, but without exception, each belonged to a true big shot.

The rich listed in the wealth rankings were nothing but dirt compared to them; perhaps not even quantifying as that.

For those like them, money was just a number, the least important thing in life; what they sought after was pleasure and power.

"Song Family, Song Taishan, Song Qinghong, arrives!"

"Mingyang Sect’s Huai Shian!"

Huai Shian, Song Taishan, and Song Qinghong entered together.

Even in such a setting, the two from the Song Family were esteemed figures.

The Mingyang Sect was, similarly, no less powerful.

The trio walking together immediately drew many a gaze.

"Uncle Song, Old Ancestor Song, Sect Master Huai, have some wedding sweets." Ye Jiujun, stationed at the door, handed over wedding candies to the trio.

Lan Xiyue stood to one side, dumbfounded, showing no particular reaction.

Upon seeing the Song Family and the Mingyang Sect, her eyes filled with deep dislike.

If not because of the Mingyang Sect, how could she possibly have returned to marry Ye Jiujun?

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

The three of them smiled and offered their congratulations, then, without much further ado, made their way into the hall. As soon as they did, many flocked around them, trying to cozy up.

But for the trio, mingling with these people was the last thing on their minds; they looked around the place, hoping to catch sight of Lin Hao and see if he had arrived.

Unfortunately, after searching the whole hotel, Lin Hao was nowhere to be found.

"The auspicious time has arrived!"

Just then, a woman’s voice suddenly echoed in the hotel. Following the source of the sound, everyone saw a woman on the other side of the hotel. No less beautiful than Lan Xiyue, indeed more mature, with a more voluptuous figure and more enchanting, the woman, wearing formal attire and holding a microphone, appeared within everyone’s sight.

Lan Yue Yuxue!

The hostess of this wedding banquet was none other than Huaxia’s A-list celebrity, Lan Yue Yuxue.

Everyone was slightly startled.

All those who came were high-profile figures; stars and celebrities, they had all had their fill countless times.

Yet, this Lan Yue Yuxue was one that many had desired but never managed to obtain.

Each time it seemed they would be successful, an invisible force would emerge, obstructing their pursuit, and for various reasons, they would end up failing.

"The auspicious time has arrived, please all guests, find your seats in the hall, and in ten minutes, the ceremony to honor Heaven and Earth will commence." Lan Yue Yuxue stood among the crowd, her smile radiant as she spoke to everyone, her eyes seemingly capable of captivating anyone, young or old, leaving many completely mesmerized.
