Chapter 1964: Chapter 1963: Xia Ba
"Brother Wang Ye, please go home now. We eagerly await your proper delivery of Yun City’s jewels to our family," Wang Long said with a smile.
Wang Ye nodded, mounted his horse, and with the sound of drums and gongs, the bridal procession quickly left the courtyard, heading straight for the Xia Family.
The moment Wang Ye disappeared from view, Wang Long’s smile froze, and his expression turned grim. He promptly slapped Wang Yan across the face.
Wang Yan was sent flying by Wang Long’s slap, his left cheek swelling up. Hastily, he rolled to Wang Long’s feet, and with fear, he said, "It was obvious. I intended to kill with what I put inside, and the news of me suddenly fainting was true. I also don’t know what happened just now..."
"Hmph!" Wang Long raised an eyebrow, his expression twitching. "The expensive poison I got that even Shi Xiu Yun didn’t understand was ruined by you! What am I supposed to do now? Am I just going to watch Xiahou Dun marry that piece of trash, Xiao Che?"
"Boss, that girl just came out, and there are plenty of opportunities before the wedding. It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to step in, but we can definitely incite the Yiwen Family and the nobles in the fortress, as they all covet Xiao Che and hate the thought of marrying him. As long as we incite them to act together, you should be able to achieve it.
If it’s that easy, why put so much effort into using a deadly toxin!"
Wang Long coldly interrupted Wang Yan.
"Wang Ye is a failure, but his grandfather Wang Li is ranked tenth in the Lingxuan Realm, a force no one in Yun City can contend with. Who dares to provoke him?
Xia Qin Yue’s father never opposed this marriage. Making a public spectacle of it would only offend Xiao Li and the Xia Family. Even if a few from the Yi Family and the City Lord’s Mansion dare to act out, their families would certainly do everything to stop it."
"Besides, didn’t you see Elder Xiao Hong personally accompany them? With him there, who could stir up any trouble!"
Wang Long said, clasping his hands together, making a cracking sound. The first time he saw Xia Qin, he was more surprised and shocked, but later he lost his rationality. From that moment on, he vowed to make Xia Qin Yue his woman for life.
But now Xia Qin Yue was actually going to marry the most looked down upon member of the Wang family, Xiao Zhe, how could he stand this?
’Boss, actually, you really don’t need to worry that much.’
Wang Yan glanced at Wang Long’s face and cautiously said.
’Think about it, the only reason Xia Qin wants to marry Wang Ye is because of a promise she made 16 years ago. Even if she marries him, she won’t let a delinquent like Wang Ye lay a finger on her. In the future, when she marries into our Wang Family, you, boss, will have more opportunities to interact with her. I fear, with the comparison of your appearance and talent against that no-good Wang Ye, eventually even Xiao Qingye won’t be able to advise her against it. By then, please make contact.’
After hearing Wang Yan’s words, Wang Long’s dark face began to relax, his long, narrow eyes slowly narrowing. He pointed his finger at his nose and said softly.
"You make sense. It seems not poisoning those wastes wasn’t such a bad thing."
Today, Yun City is very lively. Naturally, this is because of Wang Ye and Xia Qin’s wedding.
Wang Ye’s wedding isn’t much of a big deal; no one really cares, but Xia Qin’s wedding is absolutely an event that shakes the whole of Yun City.
The Xia Family isn’t a purely Xuanwu family; they are a family that has engaged in business for generations.
But they are undoubtedly one of the wealthiest families in Yun City. However, this doesn’t mean the Xia Family is weak. With their immense wealth, the Xia Family can naturally employ numerous experts to protect their family’s assets.
Yet, many people feel helpless.
Since the Xia Family wants to marry off such a radiant daughter of the heavens to a drifter like Wang Ye without any future. Naturally, they feel more envy and jealousy.
When the Xia Family wants to marry off their daughter, the event is sure not to be shabby. As soon as Wang Ye stepped out, he saw an extravagant red carpet at the door. It started from the Wang Family entrance and stretched in a zigzag pattern towards the Xia Family. Although the distance between the Xia Family and the Wang Family is not very far, it’s not exactly close either, spanning over ten kilometers. In other words, this red carpet is at least ten kilometers long. Apart from the Xia Family, no other family in the entire Liu Yun Fortress has such a grand gesture.
When the Xia Family’s bridal procession appeared, the streets of Liu Yun Fortress immediately became crowded, with people piling up on the sides of the road to watch the procession. As they progressed, various whispers reached Xiao Che’s ears.
"Look! That’s Wang Ye, grandson of Wang Li, the fifth elder of the Wang family. Born with defective mysterious veins, it’s said he won’t reach the original Profound Level in his lifetime."
"Yeah, this is the first time I’ve seen him."
"No wonder you haven’t seen him. Such a good ancestor to come from, yet to have such a disgrace as a descendant, what a waste. Often out there losing face? Xia Qin marrying such a person, it’s really misfortunate.
"Her father and the Head of the Xia Family are said to be brothers, and when Xia Qin was born, she nearly didn’t survive; if it weren’t for consuming a large dose of the Xuan Pearl, she wouldn’t be here. Xia Hong Yu agreed to marry her off to Wang Yin’s son when she turned 16."
"Now Xia Qin is 16, and Wang Yin’s son is a failure, but Xia Hong Yu has always been sentimental and doesn’t want to break the promise made back then. Otherwise, how could trash like him marry Xia Qin?"
"Such a pity! Xia Qin is the jewel of our Liu Yun Fortress. If Xia Qin was taken from the Wang family’s fifth elder’s grandson, she’d be worthless. I’m a hundred times better than him! The world is just too unfair! This world is just too unfair!"
"My dream goddess marrying such a failure makes me unwilling to bear it until death.
On horseback, Wang Ye’s eyes were as a deep pool, bright and profound, like crystal, radiant and elegant. Dressed in vibrant red bridal wear, his long hair was combed back, exuding an otherworldly grandeur.
His ears were filled with various sounds. Different sorts of gazes fixated on him—envy, resentment, admiration, hatred, disdain—but he seemed oblivious to them. He always bore a fresh smile, but how many girls in the world lost their souls to his black-and-white eyes?
Wang Ye’s Xuanwu is extremely sluggish, yet his appearance is not as dismal as Wang Long’s.
So, even though countless young talents held opposing and jealous attitudes toward Wang Ye, they had to admit inwardly.
"I thought Wang Ye would ride in a sedan today, but I didn’t expect him to be on horseback. Indeed, his spiritual energy seems quite different from the rumors."
"Ha!" he scoffed. "He’s a failure despised by all. Today, he’s marrying our Liumen Fortress’s jewel, Xia Qin, naturally causing a great uproar! Wouldn’t dare show up, huh?" a voice muttered grudgingly.
"I heard that young master and the City Lord’s grandson are racing to catch Xia Qin Princess. You think they might come to disrupt the wedding?"
