Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052 The Outburst of Conflict

In contrast, the stunningly beautiful woman beside the old hag, the woman whom Tang Xin called "Aunt Wen," namely Wen Suqin, the mother of the four Gu sisters, now had an even grimmer face. From the aura she exuded, Ye Fei knew that she was also a master at the Great Ascension stage. However, she was not a strong-willed person and was even somewhat timid.

Regarding the old hag’s use of her daughter to make the sect powerful, Aunt Wen disagreed. But it seemed that she simply didn’t dare to resist her master. However, this was already within Ye Fei’s expectations.

The thing Ye Fei valued most was family affection. Aunt Wen had chosen to compromise with her master back then for the lives of her four daughters.

Over the years, she hadn’t been able to figure out a way to break free from the control. She might seem a bit useless, but she had always been concerned about her daughters at heart.

The first thing she did after becoming the sect leader was to bring her daughters over. As for what was happening now, it was completely beyond her expectations. So, Ye Fei didn’t blame her.

Instead, he felt very sympathetic towards her, and also a bit angry at her lack of assertiveness.

Although he desperately wanted to immediately take action and kill those bastards who were forcing his beloved girl, Ye Fei didn’t do it.

Because at this moment, Gu Xuehan and the others hadn’t shown up yet, and he didn’t have a powerful helper like Ye Zhilin by his side. In a situation where he couldn’t be in two places at once, he was afraid that it might bring misfortune to those poor four sisters. So, he could only forcefully hold back his overwhelming killing intent and wait patiently.

"Xinxin, why is the custom here so strange? When others get married, doesn’t the bride come with her relatives? Why hasn’t Xiaohan arrived yet?" Gu Shishi suddenly asked Tang Xin.

Tang Xin furrowed her delicate eyebrows and said, "I don’t know either. When others get married here, the bride usually comes with the female guests from her side."

The two girls huddled together and made some random guesses. But after just a few words, they pulled Tang Yu and Miao Chan into chatting about other things. The four of them had only met Gu Xuehan once during the Spring Festival and hadn’t even talked much.

So, they didn’t have much of a relationship. When Tang Xin had proposed that Ye Fei help them earlier, it was just out of her kindness. She couldn’t bear to see such a beautiful girl who was even prettier than herself be ruined by that bastard Zhang Xi.

Unlike the relaxed four girls, Ye Fei was extremely anxious at this moment. What he was afraid of wasn’t anything else, but that Gu Xuehan might do something stupid. He knew how strong-willed this girl was and was even more aware of how deep her feelings for him were.

Now that she was forced to get married to another man, it wouldn’t be strange for her to do something extreme for his sake.

Fortunately, from the old hag’s smile, it could be seen that the possibility of an accident was very small. After all, she still needed to use Gu Xuehan to establish a connection with the Tang Sect, so she should be on high alert. Precisely because of this, Ye Fei was able to wait here. Otherwise, he would have already run out like a headless chicken, searching around aimlessly.

Just when Ye Fei was burning with anxiety, someone came in from outside and announced, "The bridal carriage has arrived!"

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone involuntarily looked towards the door. However, Zhang Xi, the bridegroom, didn’t go out to greet them. Instead, he just stood at the door waiting. It was unclear whether he was trying to show off or what.

Moments later, everyone saw Gu Xuehan being helped in by a middle-aged woman. Today, she was wearing an ancient-style bridal outfit with a phoenix crown and a red shawl, looking even more beautiful than usual. But her little face was extremely pale, and her originally beautiful, big eyes were all red and swollen, obviously showing that she had just been crying.

Seeing this scene, Ye Fei’s heart felt as if it was being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand, and the pain was almost unbearable. He immediately wanted to slam the table and stand up, pull Gu Xuehan into his arms, take good care of her, and then take action to kill all those who had bullied her, leaving not a single one alive!

But at the very moment when he was about to explode, Ye Fei suddenly stopped. Because he noticed that at the moment when Gu Xuehan came in, a look of determination suddenly flashed in the eyes of Wen Suqin, whose face had been ashen before.

Although this was the first time Ye Fei had met Wen Suqin today, after all, she was the mother of Gu Xuehan and the other three sisters. Ye Fei naturally didn’t want her to remain timid all the time. Now that she seemed to be on the verge of an outburst and Gu Xuehan wouldn’t be in danger for the moment, he decided to wait and see.

Although Gu Xuehan’s eyes were red and swollen at this moment, she had a different kind of pitiful and charming beauty, which made Zhang Xi secretly amazed and also feel very proud. He immediately stepped forward with his head held high, reached out to grab Gu Xuehan’s little hand, and said, "You’ve finally arrived. Now that the auspicious time has come, let’s go in and perform the ceremony quickly."

Unexpectedly, Gu Xuehan suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding Zhang Xi’s lecherous hand, and shouted sharply, "Don’t touch me!"

"You..." Zhang Xi’s face immediately turned ashen. Originally, he was very proud to be able to marry such a beautiful girl.

At this moment, he wanted to take this opportunity to get close to her and also make everyone envy him.

But he was immediately poured a bucket of cold water, and naturally, he was very annoyed. He turned to look at the old hag and asked in a deep voice, "What’s going on here?"

The old hag was also very shocked. After hearing Zhang Xi’s accusation, she suddenly glared at Wen Suqin beside her and shouted, "Suqin, what’s going on? How did you teach your daughter to make her so impolite!"

"Master, since Xiaohan has always disagreed with this marriage, why don’t we just call it off?" Wen Suqin lowered her head and said weakly.

"Just call it off because you say so? Then why did you agree in the first place?" At this time, the Grand Elder of the Tang Sect suddenly spoke up. Although it was a matter between the younger generation, the person involved was his disciple. The other party’s public refusal to go through with the marriage made him lose a lot of face, so his tone was already very unfriendly.

In the past, with Wen Suqin’s timid nature, when facing such a powerful master who was much stronger than herself, she probably wouldn’t have dared to say a word. But today, she summoned up her courage and retorted, "My daughter and I have never agreed to this. All of this was decided by you without our consent..."

"Shut up! Suqin, you’re getting bolder and bolder. You dare to disobey your master’s words!" The old hag interrupted Wen Suqin sharply, and her face was extremely ferocious.

"Obey your words?"

Wen Suqin raised her head and, for the first time in her life, stared defiantly at the old hag.

"Since I was a child, when have I not obeyed you? Because of obeying you, I didn’t dare to be openly with the man I loved. I didn’t even dare to complain when you sent people to kill him. Because of obeying you, I abandoned my daughters for more than ten years and didn’t dare to leave the sect. Because of obeying you, I practiced martial arts day and night, all for the sake of fulfilling your ambition. Except for those few years when I ran away, I’ve always been your marionette!"
