Chapter 229: Chapter 228 Wait a Moment

Ye Jiujun’s expression was stern, his eyes proud and self-confident as he stood on the stage, condescending to all below. He then continued:

"There’s no chance that anything will go wrong. I, Ye Jiujun, assure everyone present that today’s wedding will absolutely and certainly proceed as normal. Let alone whether anyone dares to cause trouble on Ye Family’s territory."

"Even if someone does, my Ye Family and I, Ye Jiujun, will make such a person pay the price!"

"The price of life and death!"

Ye Jiujun’s words were firm, and the murderous intent in his eyes made many people pause, fearing he might truly rage.

However, after finishing his speech, he casually laughed again, changing his demeanor faster than the weather, and gently said to Lan Yue Yuxue: "Yuxue, you may continue."

Lan Yue Yuxue looked at him in surprise, a hint of disgust and nausea emerging in her heart.

She was well aware of Lan Xiyue’s situation.

She also knew full well the reason behind today’s wedding.

Lan Yue Yuxue had been eagerly awaiting Lin Hao’s arrival, hoping he would take Lan Xiyue away from here.

But now.

She was beginning to worry instead.

Could Lin Hao truly rescue Lan Xiyue from this place?

Lan Xiyue had agreed to get married in the first place to protect Lin Hao. If Lin Hao showed up here, wouldn’t all that Lan Xiyue had done be in vain?

Lan Xiyue certainly wouldn’t want Lin Hao to come...

With a heavy sigh in her heart, Lan Yue Yuxue glanced at the disheartened Lan Xiyue, then continued: "Alright then, as parents, Ye father, Lan father, do you have anything to say?"

"Nothing, I’m very happy."

"Me too."

Both fathers made their statements indifferently; they were well aware that this marriage was nothing more than a transaction for mutual benefit, with the Lan Family merely seeking protection.

So.

There was not much else to be said.

"Alright, on this auspicious day, although the weather is not favorable, everyone is delighted at heart," Lan Yue Yuxue forced a smile, "Next, we will begin the ceremony of bowing to heaven and earth."

"Newlyweds, are you ready?"

Ye Jiujun frowned as he noticed that Lan Yue Yuxue was being too verbose; normally, they would proceed directly to bowing to heaven and earth.

Still, he nodded.

"Newlyweds, bow to heaven and earth!"

At that moment, someone shouted loudly from beneath the stage.

Ye Jiujun turned and bowed towards the gate.

Lan Xiyue, though unwilling, slowly bent her waist.

"Hold on." Just then, suddenly, a somewhat elderly voice rang out from below.

Everyone instinctively looked over.

They saw that the one who had stood up was the Sect Master of Mingyang Sect, Huai Shian!

Lin Hao had not yet appeared, and Huai Shian, unable to restrain himself any longer after sending Lin Hao a text message, stood up to intervene.

"What’s the matter, Sect Master Huai? Anything you need?" Ye Jiujun looked at Huai Shian with an extremely displeased and irritable gaze, making no effort to hide it.

Lan Xiyue looked up, puzzled, not understanding what Huai Shian was getting at.

"Young Master Ye, pardon the interruption, but I have a doubt, and I’m not sure whether it is appropriate to voice it now," Huai Shian said, appearing not to notice Ye Jiujun’s expression, his tone unhurried and with a smile on his face.

"Speak." Ye Jiujun barely regarded Huai Shian, his impatience palpable.

"Last time, several of my Mingyang Sect disciples died, and according to the Lan Family, they were killed by a young man. Moreover, this young man is likely to come here."

"I’ve been waiting for him to ask when he will come, if at all."

"Hmm?" Ye Jiujun looked towards Lan Cangye sitting above the stage.

Lan Cangye, for his part, was somewhat familiar with the situation and explained with a grin: "The Mingyang Sect has experienced some issues recently, losing two Elders. The Sect Master here can’t wait any longer; the young man he’s referring to is the same youth that Xiyue was following before."

"So that’s how it is." Ye Jiujun’s expression eased a bit upon hearing this explanation; at least this old guy wasn’t stirring up trouble.

"Sect Master, there’s no need to worry. That guy said he’d come today, but I don’t think he dares to. Even if he doesn’t show up, I, Ye Jiujun, won’t let him off the hook."

Ye Jiujun said with a smile, "Daring to make my future wife his slave, that person’s life is already mine."

Huai Shian wanted to say something more, but suddenly, his phone vibrated slightly.

He looked down.

It was a text message.

The message was just two words.

On the way!

"Since this is the case, then I can rest assured," said Huai Shian. "I’ll leave it all to Young Master Ye to make decisions on behalf of Mingyang Sect. Just now, this old man couldn’t help himself and to express my apologies, I will certainly visit later to apologize."

After finishing speaking, Huai Shian sat down.

Then,

Ye Jiujun glanced at Lan Yue Yuxue, signaling for him to continue.

Lan Yue Yuxue nodded slightly to the person below, and the man who had previously called out loud said again, "Bow to heaven and earth!"

Ye Jiujun bent over once again, bowing.

Lan Xiyue seemed to have lost her soul, her movements wooden and sluggish as she slowly bent down.

"Wait a minute!"

However, just when Lan Xiyue was about to bend down,

A venerable voice rang out in the hall once more.

The crowd instinctively looked towards Huai Shian, only to see that Huai Shian was sitting properly and innocently.

Following that,

Everyone saw Song Taishan standing up.

"Elder Song, what’s the matter now?" Ye Jiujun was quite unhappy. It was one thing to be interrupted once, but this was already the second time.

Could this wedding proceed at all?

"I’m sorry, Young Master Ye, I deeply apologize, but I really can’t help interrupting," Song Taishan, much like Huai Shian, disregarded Ye Jiujun’s annoyance.

"Just speak your piece." If it were Huai Shian again, Ye Jiujun would have already lost his temper, but when facing the Song Family, he dared not act recklessly.

After all, the Song Family’s influence in Jiangbei was significant and deep-rooted. Although the Ye Family could provoke some, dealing with the Song Family would ultimately be troublesome.

Not only was Ye Jiujun discontented, Ye Lidao was also extremely unhappy, looking towards Song Taishan.

"It’s the same issue the Elder Huai mentioned earlier. Our Song Family also lost people to that youngster. We’ve been looking for him for a while now, without success."

Song Taishan said at his leisure, "Seeing Young Master Ye’s demeanor, it seems you have found him. Since Young Master Ye can make decisions on behalf of Mingyang Sect, perhaps you could also help the Song Family out."

"Sure."

Ye Jiujun replied noncommittally.

"Good, good. In that case, I can also rest assured." Song Taishan then sat down. As for stalling for time, this was as far as he could go.

If Lin Hao still didn’t appear, he and Song Qinghong had no choice but to take the hard approach and seize the person themselves.

"Continue," Ye Jiujun waved his hand, "go straight to the last step."

"Alright!"

The person below answered tremblingly, seeing that Ye Jiujun was quite displeased. Although he was also a Cultivator, he couldn’t bear the fury of the former.

Immediately, he raised his voice and said, "The couple bows to each other!"

Ye Jiujun turned around happily.

Lan Xiyue turned around blankly.

The two faced each other.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as the two were about to bow to each other, another voice suddenly sounded.
