Chapter 46
Chapter 46 046[VIP]
As one of the world's top assassins, Zhongyuan Yidianhong's eyesight is unmatched.
When the invitation was handed to him, he had already spotted two names faintly visible beneath the hollowed-out gilded surface.
One of them was the character "Master."
It seemed there was no doubt about the identity of the woman before him. It wasn't a common surname.
"Is his master an acquaintance of Ayu?" Shi Qingruo suddenly asked.
Yidianhong dared not lose focus any longer and returned her gaze to the scene before her. Then,
from beneath the mask, she heard Gongzi Yu's voice: "Not an acquaintance, but rather someone who needs to witness this event."
"Then I won't fight you for that item." Shi Qingruo smiled, pointing to the golden cylinder from earlier. "Since it's a coincidence, I hope you and your disciple will be able to attend."
She was about to leave, and Gongzi Yu, guided by her, turned around and headed back the way they had come. The two continued their slow journey down the dark, busy street, occasionally stopping at roadside stalls to examine the novelties.
Yidianhong stood there for a moment, clutching the invitation, before leaving.
He was certain he hadn't seen it wrong. When Shi Qingruo said, "You must come," his eyes shone with a recognizable innocence and sweetness.
Such a look might be found in someone long residing on an island, oblivious to worldly affairs, but it would never be found in the Holy Leader of the Misty Heaven Alliance. Perhaps, even if someone with such eyes were lucky enough to ascend to that position, it wouldn't last long, nor would they accomplish the feats that would garner renown in the capital!
There must be something fishy going on.
...
"This is the situation."
He placed the invitation before the black-clad swordsman, explained what had just happened, and respectfully stepped aside.
In the martial arts world, most people shudder at the mere mention of Zhongyuan Yidianhong, precisely because of the legend of the assassin known as the "Soul-Searching Sword Shadowless." However, few know that he isn't a lone assassin, but rather a member of a mysterious organization.
The swordsmanship he employs was also taught by the master who raised him.
The masked man in black let out a strange laugh, questioning not the accuracy of his observations about Shi Qingruo, but rather—
"If I remember correctly, they are a senior-disciple relationship?"
"Yes," another person present replied.
Compared to the assassin leader, who already wore a mask to conceal his identity, this one went even further.
He was completely obscured by a black cloak, with only two followers behind him revealing half of their faces, the upper half of which was covered by a bat mask, revealing the identity of their master.
He operated a unique island on the sea, known as Bat Island, and frequently conducted business with the assassin leader before him.
This trip to Bianjing to witness the unfolding event was a joint effort, originally intended to see if there was any opportunity for them to fish in troubled waters.
However, Fu Zongshu's downfall was so swift and decisive, and even top experts like Yuan Shisanxian were slain in the encirclement. Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Society, due to Gongzi Yu's sudden decision, withdrew from the conflict outside the capital.
If they had stayed, the Six Gates would have had a handle on them and made them their next target. So, they all tacitly retreated to the black market in Anyang.
But then, they unexpectedly received this... interesting news.
Xue Xiaoren was unaware that Gongzi Yu had already detailed his identity beneath the mask to Shi Qingruo that very day. He continued in his peculiar voice, asking the man before him, "What does Young Master Bat think of this?" "
Young Master Bat," referring to the young master of Wuzheng Villa, Yuan Suiyun, pondered for a moment before replying, "He's made a very interesting deal." "
What do you mean?"
Yuan Suiyun smiled. "Childhood sweethearts, brothers and sisters who grew up together, reunited, resolved their previous misunderstandings, and finally put aside their past grudges. Is it strange that they're getting married?"
"Of course not," Xue Xiaoren replied. "But remember, one of them is the Dragon Leader of the Azure Dragon Society, and the other is the Holy Lord of the Mysterious Heaven Alliance."
That would be very strange.
These two were not easy men to deal with.
If it weren't for the Azure Dragon Society's intention to devour Fang Geyin's former followers, and Gongzi Yu's personal appearance within the Mysterious Heaven Alliance, they wouldn't have even known that these dormant forces were actually obeying the orders of one man: the Dragon Leader, Gongzi Yu.
He had been hiding for so many years, so he must have some grand agenda.
The Saint Master of the Misty Heaven Alliance, though she rose to Saint Master from the Saint Master's wife, has, since taking charge of the Misty Heaven Alliance, collaborated with the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower to purge the Six and a Half Hall, enforce internal order, recruit new members, and leverage the killing of Yuan Shisanxian to whitewash the Misty Heaven Alliance. Her tactics are exceptionally skillful.
Since these two are now strangers, it's unlikely they'll rekindle their past.
Unless
...
one of them's memories regressed to a time before they left the mountain to train.
From what Yidianhong saw today, it was none other than the Master's wife who exhibited this behavior.
"So, I say, Young Master Yu has made a very interesting deal."
Yuan Suiyun raised his hand and beckoned to a guard beside him, whispering a few words to him. The guard quickly left the area, returning about a cup of tea later to report back to Yuan Suiyun.
Along with the other invitation, he delivered another.
"What do you mean?"
"Just as I expected," Yuan Suiyun chuckled.
He traced his fingertips over the name, embossed in gold, on the invitation, and the corners of his lips curled up beneath his cloak.
"Not only did he send us the invitation, he also made an announcement. He's marrying his junior sister. From now on, Shi Qingruo will enjoy the same treatment as he does within the Azure Dragon Society, and everyone must obey his wife's orders. Since we're reuniting, to prevent further complications, the wedding banquet will be held soon."
At first glance, it sounded like a natural wedding, albeit a bit hastily staged.
But with Gongzi Yu's status and influence, a grand ceremony wouldn't be difficult.
Furthermore, to show his affection for his junior sister, he had already preemptively offered the Azure Dragon Society's influence to her, leaving no one to question his intentions.
Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Society wasn't acting as a direct supporter of Fu Zongshu, as Yuan Shisanxian had. They were simply competing with the Misty Heaven Alliance for a new recruit after Fang Geyin's death, so their status wasn't a major issue. At least, the people of the Misty Heaven Alliance didn't have that stance, truly positioning him as an enemy.
But he clearly wanted to do more than just marry his junior sister.
Yuan Suiyun had already continued, "Before Guan Qi shattered the void, he left the position of Saint Leader of the Misty Heaven Alliance to Madam Shi, but he never said he wanted her to remain a widow. His madness had decimated his prestige within the Misty Heaven Alliance, but it was Madam Shi's recent actions that had helped secure her position."
She could remarry, but...
"Once this marriage is finalized, even if the Azure Dragon Society and the Mitian League don't merge immediately, Young Master Yu will be able to control the Mitian League through Shi Qingruo. Complete annexation is only a matter of time."
To others, he seemed deeply in love, his conversation with Shi Qingruo that day, the scene of the riot at the Mitian League, seemed to be the source of his gray hair.
However, Yuan Suiyun saw this guy as a schemer obsessed with power, from kidnapping Shi's wife to the sudden announcement of their marriage.
Why didn't he have such a useful junior sister? Not only was she a beauty, but she was also a very capable one.
Thinking of the Huashan Sect Leader, whom he had manipulated, Yuan Suiyun felt a pang of disgust.
But what mattered more now was the current situation.
Xue Xiaoren had already asked, "Are you going to the wedding banquet or not?"
"Yes," Yuan Suiyun replied firmly. "Why not?"
"After the downfall of the Liufenbantang and the execution of Yuan Shisanxian, we all know why you and I retreated here to discuss matters."
Business is slowing, and bosses are always anxious, especially those like them who are unique.
Xue Xiaoren understood: "Young Master Yu wants to find a new way and make it work. We might as well help him."
If he had held the wedding banquet in Bianjing City, they wouldn't have to think twice and would have simply refused.
Yuan Shisanxian, despite his martial arts prowess, had died there.
They couldn't withstand such a toss.
But now, Young Master Yu had chosen to hold the wedding banquet in the northern black market, undoubtedly aiming for a quick victory.
Even if someone could get the news and arrive in time to disrupt the wedding, the number would be small.
"Indeed, we're just in a good position to lend him a hand. I just don't know... how long his control over the Master's Wife will last,"
Xue Xiaoren replied. "If he dares to do such a thing, he must have his reasons. We should just wait and see what happens. Why worry so much?"
After all, they were just guests at the wedding banquet, weren't they?
Seeing Yuan Suiyun nod in agreement and rise, he glanced aside.
Yidianhong led the way, escorting the Bat Prince out.
This had to be a meeting that was enjoyable and beneficial for both host and guest, so it was only right to follow proper etiquette.
But perhaps it was Yidianhong's imagination, but the Bat Prince who followed him seemed to follow the same path as him, as if he felt that following this path was the safest route.
But he was a killer, so he didn't need to worry about it. He simply buried his doubts in his heart and returned to Xue Xiaoren.
Yuan Suiyun quickly returned to his quarters, removing the black cloak that had draped him, revealing his handsome, gentle features.
However, anyone still present would have noticed his sinister expression, a stark contrast to the one he'd shared with the others by the Jinshui River that day. It also matched his lightless eyes, a dark, chilling darkness that was unsettling.
He'd lied to Xue Xiaoren. He likely didn't simply want to lend a hand to Gongzi Yu; he wanted, and had the ability, to do more.
However, the more he helped, the greater the reward he expected.
He couldn't understand why, with his status and talent so superior to ordinary people, heaven would punish him with yet another, blinding punishment. Since he already lived in darkness, he should have condemned more people to the same hell he had, rather than being like Hua Manlou of the Jiangnan Hua family, who could still so easily face life with a smile.
He quickly wrote a piece of paper and instructed the guard outside, "Deliver this letter to Young Master Yu for me."
As the guard leaped down the cliff with the letter, he brushed past another member of the Qinglong Society, delivering an invitation.
He looked back and saw the man nimbly climbing toward the top, heading for the cliff cave of another distinguished guest.
If he remembered correctly, the young master had previously told him that there lived a female demon from the desert...
called, Stone Guanyin?
But right now, this demon wasn't in a good mood.
Xue Xiaoren and Yuan Suiyun had been "forced" to come here, and so was she.
The female disciple holding the bronze mirror only needed to glance up to see a lingering shadow lingering on the beautiful face before her.
Even her usual charm had faded somewhat against her slender, well-proportioned figure.
But she couldn't be blamed for her behavior. She didn't care about the lives of Wuhua and Nangong Ling, even though they were her own sons. What concerned her was that her plans to stir up trouble in the Central Plains had been thwarted, that the secret treasure she sought in Kucha had yet to be found, and that she had nearly run into the formidable enemy, Shuimu Yinji, upon arriving in the capital.
None of these things satisfied her!
In the desert, the mention of "Stone Guanyin" terrified her, but in the Central Plains, she seemed less important.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw a figure approaching.
The next moment, Stone Guanyin reached out to snatch the bronze mirror and smashed it in front of the female disciple.
Amidst the shattering shards, the person knelt.
The girl, with her head bowed, looked a world apart from the Stone Guanyin before her. Her face was almost devoid of its original appearance, as if ravaged from head to toe by lava. Only her eyes remained bright and clear, like a spring in the desert.
It was these eyes that, even after disfiguring her and changing her name from Wusi to Wurong, Shi Guanyin still felt an indescribable jealousy.
"Wuyi abandoned me and gave herself the name Liu Wumei. Now, she's revealed Wuhua and the others' backgrounds and is being sheltered within the Mitian Alliance. Do you want to emulate her?" "
Disciple, I dare not," Qu Wurong replied, holding the invitation in front of Shi Guanyin. "This is the invitation just delivered by the Qinglong Society."
"Invitation?" Shi Guanyin took it in confusion, then saw the prominent wedding announcement, instantly ignoring the previous rivalry. "The wedding of Young Master Yu of the Qinglong Society and the wife of the Master of the Mitian Alliance?"
"That's what the person who delivered the invitation said."
Shi Guanyin was silent for a moment. "...That's quite interesting."
It seemed that simply describing the event as "interesting" would somewhat do the identities of the two being married a disservice. The fleeting thought in her mind was not much different from what Xue Xiaoren and Yuan Suiyun had thought before.
She had thought that her trip from the desert to Bianjing was doomed to fail, and she would have to swallow the loss even if it meant losing her teeth. However, this sudden news seemed to tell her that she still had a chance to turn the tide.
If things were really as she guessed, she might as well stay here for a while... and watch the fun!
She supported her chin with one hand, leaning against the edge of the couch, looking this special invitation back and forth several times, and suddenly said: "Wu Rong, go give a gift to that master's wife for me, and say it's our early wedding gift."
Qu Wurong stood up silently and, following Shi Guanyin's instructions, placed a box of treasures she had brought from the desert into a brocade box before leaving the room.
The messenger who had delivered the invitation remained outside. Upon hearing that she was returning with a gift, he carefully examined the now-veiled woman. "I can only inform you. Whether you can see her depends on the Madam and the Dragon Head,"
Qu Wurong nodded.
She paused at an entrance for a moment before the messenger who had brought the information reappeared, motioning her to blindfold herself with a black cloth and walk with him, holding the rope.
She accepted the offer without hesitation.
Compared to the maze Shi Guanyin had set up in the desert, this place was clearly less terrifying.
When she removed the blindfold, a bright red hue, shrouded in a beauty rarely found in this world, caught her eye. Even after years of peace, she couldn't help but shudder at the sudden sight.
The girl in the bright red wedding gown seemed to be trying on clothes. She hadn't yet removed her elaborate attire, only taking off her hair crown and letting her hair down, looking at her with interest.
This didn't seem like the attire for someone entertaining guests, but this casual gesture on such a rare beauty didn't seem rude, and instead seemed innocent.
Qu Wurong was stunned when she saw Shi Qingruo raise her eyes and smile, holding up the hem of her skirt and approaching her.
Her eyes, made even more radiant by the red dress, were reflected in the precious light of the glazed palace lanterns.
Qu Wurong almost subconsciously felt a boundless fear, because... because this was a face that Shi Guanyin would want to destroy if she ever saw it.
"Your master is truly polite..." Shi Qingruo tilted her head, pulled a vibrant purple gem from the box, and then let it tinkle between her open fingers, dropping it back with a clang. She seemed oblivious to the gem's value, simply picking it up and putting it down according to her own whims.
But no one would be offended by her actions.
"She's not being polite," Gongzi Yu said, bringing the dazed Qu Wurong back to his senses.
The man who had spoken was also dressed in red, which accentuated the snow-white hair that cascaded over his shoulders and back, making him even more alluring.
The bronze mask he wore and his unusual hair color betrayed his identity.
He spoke coldly, "She found an opportunity to have her disciple see my future wife."
"Why is she looking at me?" Shi Qingruo asked suspiciously. "Another person I've met before?"
"Perhaps," Gongzi Yu replied ambiguously, waving his hand, signaling the visitor to send Qu Wurong away.
The gift had been delivered, and the giver could return.
For Qu Wurong, she had already learned what she needed to know from what she had seen and heard, and there was indeed no need to stay here any longer.
But she didn't see that the moment the door closed behind her, the bride in red reached up and casually brushed her loose hair back. Her expression had cooled, and there was no trace of her previous innocence.
"It seems your reputation is really bad. Everyone believes you're trying to seize this opportunity to annex the Misty Heaven Alliance and is rushing to help you."
Gongzi Yu had already removed his mask. Shi Qingruo turned and saw that his face was speechless at these words. "The Qinglong Association hadn't appeared in public before, so what reputation do I have?"
What bad reputation did he have? At least it was much better than that Bat Young Master.
This should have been due to Zijin's own outstanding acting skills.
Six months ago, when she married Guan Qi, everyone believed that the crazy Guan Shengzhu had coveted her beauty and had forced her to death. Now, it was his turn to take the blame.
Shi Qingruo raised an eyebrow, and Gongzi Yu's cheeks twitched slightly, but he ultimately chose to keep his mouth shut.
He had already agreed to remove his mask and try another possibility, so he should cooperate with her next move.
She wanted to deal with all those people he had listed who were roaming the martial arts world under disguise, just as she had removed his mask that day. The best and fastest way to do that was a wedding banquet like this.
With "Gongzi Yu" retired from the martial arts world and Shen Lang's disciple Shen Guyan just entering the martial arts world, the members of the Qinglong Society needed somewhere to go, and a wedding banquet was equally necessary.
Besides, he wasn't at a disadvantage, was he?
"What are you thinking about?"
Gongzi Yu coughed lightly, disguising himself. "Nothing, just a little regretful."
Ever since Guan Qi shattered the void, there had been no one who had admired Yu Zijin and didn't want to marry her, but in the end, he had gotten there first.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, he had received the invitation first.
No matter what, he had to distribute the wedding invitations far and wide, letting everyone know about this happy event.
To enhance the wedding banquet's appeal, or perhaps to further bolster its credibility, he was using it as an opportunity to reach out to the Misty Heaven Alliance. The wedding date was set too soon!
Someone would surely arrive before the banquet, but not everyone.
What a shame...
Shi Qingruo, observing Gongzi Yu's distracted state, sensed he wasn't up to any good reason. "Why? It's a shame you didn't know the wedding dress you'd prepared would be stained with blood in a few days?"
Before Gongzi Yu could say anything, Shi Qingruo reached out to him.
He was startled.
But before he could place his hand on hers, she said, "Give me back the Ziwei Soft Sword."
The wide sleeves of her robe were perfect for concealing a weapon.
...
Invitations were being sent out one after another on the Anyang black market.
News of the reconciliation and impending marriage between the Dragon Head of the Azure Dragon Society and the Holy Lord of the Misty Heaven Alliance spread like wildfire along with the invitations.
When Qi Shaoshang and Wuqing arrived in a small town south of Anyang, they received this shocking news.
"Mrs. Shi is probably being coerced by Young Master Yu, or perhaps he's used some special method to facilitate this marriage." Wuqing's expression and tone were startlingly cold. At first glance, the wheelchair-bound captain looked like a statue of jade.
A closer look revealed a hint of fatigue between his brows, as if he hadn't slept properly in days.
His hands, resting on his legs, were silently clenched together.
Qi Shaoshang had a strange hunch that Chief Constable Wuqing's reaction wasn't simply out of concern for Shi Qingruo's safety, but rather because he felt more vulnerable than ever to his disability.
Entering the Anyang black market to investigate, Wuqing's wheelchair-bound nature made it impossible.
He bowed his head in thought for a moment, then turned to Sikong Zhaixing and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to infiltrate the black market."
"Even if you didn't tell me, I would do it," Sikong Zhaixing replied.
That day, Lu Xiaofeng heard from Hua Manlou that Wuqing and Qi Shaoshang were heading north to look for someone. When he went to see Ye Gucheng, he also left the Mi Tian League and caught up with the two of them.
Putting these three identities together, it looked like "official, bandit who turned good and then became an official," a somewhat bizarre situation. But unexpectedly, they had received the news first, and
such great news!
Although Sikong Zhaixing had only known Shi Qingruo for half a year, she was already certain of one thing: she disliked having her life and actions dictated by others, and certainly would not be held hostage by someone offering all their wealth.
Therefore, she certainly wouldn't flee the important task entrusted to her by Ye Gucheng regarding Baiyun City, daring not to return to Bianjing for the time being. Nor would she be moved by Gongzi Yu's renunciation of evil and his joining her in the siege of Yuan Shisanxian. There
must be something fishy behind this marriage!
He didn't know much about the Azure Dragon Society, but he couldn't help but harbor two suspicions.
Gongzi Yu was Shen Lang's apprentice, and among those who had accompanied him on his previous voyages was a renowned prodigy named Wang Lianhua. Mastering disguise and poison techniques, she compiled these skills into a book titled "Lianhua Treasure Mirror." Perhaps this contained a poison capable of manipulating the human mind.
Or perhaps he had someone disguise himself as Shi Qingruo, using the fact they were from the same school to fabricate rumors of an impending marriage.
Whichever it was, he knew it instantly!
Sikong Zhaixing said, "Please ask Chief Constable Wuqing to send a message to Bianjing. I'll go to the Anyang black market." Wuqing
couldn't walk, and Qi Shaoshang had lost a hand. Both were highly recognizable, making him the most convenient person to do the job.
He had just reached the door when he suddenly stopped. "If I don't return on time, please ask the Chief Constable to consider the worst-case scenario of Madam Shi being controlled by someone else."
Before Wuqing could say anything else, Sikong Zhaixing had vanished from his sight.
This world-class thief had always possessed a remarkable ability to slip in and out without a trace, but he had previously often spent time within the Misty Heaven Alliance, almost mistaking him for a skilled intelligence scout.
Now, it seemed, was the perfect time for him to shine.
As Sikong Zhaixing walked through the Anyang black market, he had assumed a different look.
He'd been here before, settling a deal with someone in the past. His arrival was incredibly smooth, making it almost impossible to tell he was there with a purpose.
He sat down at a stall with familiarity, exchanging signals with the vendors, giving the impression he was a regular.
Little did he know, he was constantly observing his surroundings, taking in everyone and everything.
"There's been a lot more people here lately, is it all because of that wedding?"
the stall owner replied smoothly. "I heard the black market owner reached an agreement with the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, allowing him to rent the place out. So, a lot of Azure Dragon Society personnel were brought in to ensure security for the wedding. But I think he's a rather strange guy. If that's the case, why not just hold the wedding at the Azure Dragon Society?"
On paper, the Azure Dragon Society had no direct connection to the Anyang black market, and the stall owner was right. But if Sikong Zhaixing were to ask, he'd suspect the black market owner and the leader of the Azure Dragon Society were actually the same person. Given Gongzi Yu's previous style of hiding in the shadows, he could definitely do this.
Despite this thought, he said, "Perhaps it was that Madam Master's idea? The Misty Heaven Alliance is, after all, a major gang in Bianjing City. The Seventh Saint Master can't marry on someone else's territory. Besides, the Azure Dragon Society is too secretive. If they really held the wedding there, some guests wouldn't dare come."
He pointed at himself, his words self-evident.
The stall owner laughed, "That's right. People like us who run shady businesses don't like to go to such dangerous places."
Sikong Zhaixing selected a few bottles of poison from the stall, counted a few pieces of silver from his pocket and pushed them over, seemingly gossiping casually, "Come to think of it, you got here before me. Have you ever seen what Madam Master looks like? She was able to marry Guan Qi first, and then convince the Azure Dragon Society's leader to marry her. I guess she must be a rare beauty."
He said regretfully, "If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Bianjing to join in the fun. Otherwise, I would have seen her face."
"Don't worry." Seeing the deal done, the stall owner's smile became more genuine than before. "I heard that the master's wife was around the stall to the west before, so she must live in that area. If you're lucky, you might see her again. It's a pity that Young Master Yu seems to be very protective of others, so she's rarely seen alone. The next time we see her will probably be around the wedding banquet."
Sikong Zhaixing simply thanked him and continued to wander the black market, his steps vaguely moving westward.
He had broken into many large mansions and gangs, and had a rough idea of the black market's defenses and the residences of important personnel.
The transportation of various utensils and jewelry before the wedding banquet would inevitably reveal some clues.
He calmed himself, suppressed his worries, and took a closer look at a cave he had chosen, forming a rough plan.
A skilled thief who can't even find the owner's room is out of business! When
Shi
Qingruo returned the next day, she sensed the presence of another person in the room.
She slowly entered, her face suddenly brightening. "Sikong Zhaixing, you're the fastest,"
she said, as a figure flashed from behind the screen.
Though Shi Qingruo had never seen this person before, she could easily identify him from the familiar look in his eyes.
It was Sikong Zhaixing.
Sikong Zhaixing opened his mouth, feeling as if he had more to say, like how he had managed to arrive here through repeated identity changes. In the end, he only managed to ask, "Why... aren't you called Little Bat anymore?"
He stared intently into Shi Qingruo's eyes.
In those clear, ever-present eyes, there was no trace of manipulation, and his previously tense heart finally settled.
She was alright; that was all that mattered.
There was much more to say, unspoken.
She said, "You don't know, but there's a man here named Bat Prince. He runs a brothel overseas called Bat Island. He kidnaps people from all over the place and forcibly sews their eyes shut to help them adapt to the darkness..."
She sighed softly, "I just feel that 'bat' isn't a nice word, and it shouldn't be used on my friends."
Sikong Zhaixing was startled, then quickly asked, "So, should I tell everyone I'm planning to steal the treasures from a wedding banquet?"
Although Shi Qingruo wasn't wearing her red dress today, the furnishings in the room were all wedding-related, especially the pair of red dragon and phoenix candles on the table, so eye-catching that he wanted to be the first to steal them.
It vaguely reminded him of... the first time he saw her.
But back then, she wasn't sitting at the table, weeping, lamenting her fate. Now, she simply stood amidst the crimson, as calm as if she were strolling into it.
Facing Sikong Zhaixing's question, Shi Qingruo pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled: "No, let's not steal. Bring more people to grab the bride."
Come... come to grab the bride?
Her smile became even wider: "Since it's a wedding banquet, it should be lively and lively."
