Chapter 228: Chapter 227: The Wedding is Going to Have Trouble

Some people, no matter where they go, become the center of attention, a star among stars; for them, God doesn’t just open a window, but two doors as well.

Lan Yue Yuxue is such a person.

With her extraordinary beauty and intelligence, from the day she stepped into the entertainment industry, she soared to the top, becoming a leading star in less than a year.

Over the years, calling her a leading star is actually an understatement; her popularity and attractiveness are so immense, even ’beyond top-tier’ would not be an overstatement.

Nobody expected her to show up at Lan Xiyue’s wedding banquet.

After all, this girl’s background is too mysterious; neither the Lan Family nor the Ye Family might have been able to invite her here.

Her appearance, indeed, was a surprise.

Under the guidance of Lan Yue Yuxue, several hundred people in the room took their seats one after another; although no specific arrangements had been made, all the big shots and the astute knew exactly where they should sit.

The first three rows were reserved for the main seats of the Ye and Lan families.

The Song Family took the fourth row, Mingyang Sect the fifth...

Although everyone seemed to seat themselves casually, it implicitly marked the hierarchy of their strengths and weaknesses.

With a beaming smile, Lan Yue Yuxue provided commentary for this marital event.

Her brows scanned the room, seemingly in search of someone.

Not finding the figure she hoped to see, a flicker of disappointment passed through the depths of her eyes.

"Dad, do you think he will come?" Song Taishan asked in a low voice.

"I don’t know," Song Qinghong shook his head.

To be truthful, he really couldn’t guarantee; the alliance between the Ye and Lan families was like a union of the powerful. Looking over the entire regions of Jiangbei and Binhai, how many would dare to confront them??

Lin Hao is just a young man, a Grandmaster at most. No matter how talented he is, in one month’s time, he could only hope to reach the level of a Primordial Qi Master at best.

Song Qinghong really couldn’t be sure whether Lin Hao would still come or if he’d be intercepted on the way by people arranged by the Lan and Ye families.

After all, when he arrived, he had sensed many masters lurking in the shadows.

"If he doesn’t come, what do we do?" Song Taishan asked.

"No matter what, we stand by his side; one cannot be fickle when it comes to alliances," Song Qinghong calmly said.

"Mhm."

Song Taishan nodded.

Huai Shian looked around, also searching for Lin Hao’s figure, but unfortunately, Lin Hao had yet to arrive.

Outside the hotel, even at noon, the drifting heavy rain showed no sign of stopping; the overcast skies seemed to hint that something significant was about to unfold.

Today’s weather is very ominous.

Yet, it can’t stop the Lan Family’s wedding ceremony.

Ten minutes in, Lan Yue Yuxue stepped forward and announced loudly, "Distinguished guests, thank you for attending Ms. Lan Xiyue’s and Mr. Ye Jiujun’s wedding!"

"Next, we will proceed with the ritual of honoring heaven and earth, may the parents of both parties please come to the stage!"

Following Lan Yue Yuxue’s words, high-pitched music began to play and along with it, two groups of middle-aged men and women, dressed to the nines, stepped onto the stage and sat down on the chairs that had been prepared.

"Alright, next, please welcome Ms. Lan Xiyue and Mr. Ye Jiujun!" Lan Yue Yuxue continued.

As her words fell, at the end of the red carpet, outside the flower baskets, a man and a woman slowly stepped in from outside.

Surprisingly, the woman was not cling to the man’s arm; they walked side by side like friends, heading forward.

Ye Jiujun was dressed in a suit, with a slicked-back hairstyle, his face exuding confidence and pride.

Lan Xiyue was dressed in a very casual dress, her expression void, and her gaze dull.

The states of the two were obviously different.

However, amongst the crowd, as if they hadn’t noticed, there was warm applause, and every face was filled with smiles and envy.

Here, this was the main venue for their wedding, and those who could come here were few, all of them important figures.

Besides this, there were also sub-venues, where the younger generations of various families gathered; the best hotels in Jiangbei and Binhai had been booked out, with their lobbies broadcasting the wedding live through a big screen, showing the conditions of the two couples at the wedding.

Of course, few people appeared on camera, as most in the main venue were those who did not wish to show off too much, with most of the images focusing on Ye Jiujun and Lan Xiyue.

"What a beautiful bride."

"Yes, Lan Xiyue is so beautiful."

"Ye Jiujun isn’t bad either."

"I heard that Ye Jiujun is a Cultivation Master as well!"

Within the crowd, there was much discussion, and these younger generations from various families looked at the two on the big screen with envy.

At the main venue, Ye Jiujun and Lan Xiyue had already reached the stage.

Lan Yue Yuxue said just in time, "Bride and groom, today is your big day. According to traditional wedding rituals, next is the ceremony of bowing to heaven and earth. But before that, do you two have anything to say?"

Lan Yue Yuxue first handed the microphone to Lan Xiyue.

Lan Xiyue looked at her mournfully, without a word.

The atmosphere became quite awkward for a moment.

"Ha, our bride’s joy is beyond words. Then, Mr. Ye Jiujun, as a man, surely you can still speak, right?"

With a few words, Lan Yue Yuxue dissolved the awkward silence, eliciting a round of hearty laughter.

Ye Jiujun looked at Lan Yue Yuxue with satisfaction.

He had his eyes on Lan Yue Yuxue for a long time, trying to bring her into his fold, but to this day, the Ye Family couldn’t clarify her background, which prevented him from making a move.

Little girl, one day, you will be mine too.

Ye Jiujun laughed gracefully, accepting the microphone: "I am very happy to marry Xiyue today. Everyone knows that Xiyue has always been a proud daughter of heaven, and I think, there are few in this world who can match her."

"I, Ye Jiujun, barely qualify as one. I want to thank Lan mother and Lan father for giving birth to such a wonderful daughter, as well as my father, Ye Lidao, and my mother, Jiang Ling, for their cultivation and upbringing over the years allowing me to be worthy of Xiyue."

"Also, thanks to all the guests here, the uncles, aunties, grandpas, and grandmas in the main venue, and the brothers and sisters in the sub-venue!"

As soon as Ye Jiujun spoke, there was a burst of applause, and everyone was obviously very satisfied with his speech.

"The weather today is not good, heavy rain overnight and it hasn’t stopped until now," Ye Jiujun’s tone shifted as he suddenly said,

"Some people have speculated, saying that perhaps the Ye Family has committed some heinous deeds, and the heavens wish to punish us."

"Such speculation, of course, is unreliable. The amount of money my Ye Family donates to charities every year is beyond what many could even imagine; countless impoverished families have grown up benefiting from our generosity."

"Some even say that there will be trouble at today’s wedding."

At this point, Ye Jiujun’s smile suddenly faded, turning extremely serious.

The serious expression made many people shiver involuntarily.
