Chapter 141 The Old Granny
"Hey, hello, hello." Several groomsmen rushed up, grabbed his hand, and shook it vigorously to restrain him from wandering off.
The man looked grim. It was only right to let the other side in after receiving three red envelopes, but he had been tricked out of thin air by someone using ventriloquism. How could he face the cultivation world if word got out?
Leaving aside the fact that he can't yet master the divine sense detection that only great cultivators can skillfully control, it's truly embarrassing that his hearing, enhanced by spiritual energy, was also fooled.
There were only two people in the living room: the bride's cousin and an old nanny standing at the door of the boudoir.
That was the bride's mother's older sister. The bride's parents had gone with the clan chief to entertain the Yue family's head and matchmaker, and they only met again after Yue Xingtian successfully brought the bride out.
The old nanny greeted the groom and then made way for him without causing any trouble.
Inside was the final challenge: the bride's best friends had hidden her shoes, and the groomsmen had to put in some effort to find them.
After watching the groom and groomsmen bustling into the bridal chamber, the old nanny turned to look at the bride's cousin who had blocked the door. His eyes held a mixture of regret, resentment, and unwillingness.
The old nanny returned the look with the same glance.
"Don't worry, I'll get revenge for you."
.....
However, none of this concerned Zhong Ming. After he went up to the second-floor balcony, he intended to follow Yue Kaishan inside, but he noticed that Yue Kaishan's expression was off.
"What's wrong, Brother Yue? Your face is so red." Zhong Ming wanted to say it was like the color of a pig's liver, but considering the festive atmosphere of the wedding, he didn't say it.
"It's nothing, I just got tired while carrying the stairs, I'll be fine after a short rest."
Another member of the Yue family leaned over and said in surprise, "Old Kai, you used the Blood Secret Technique - Yue?"
"It's alright, it won't take long. I can't let my cousin lose face. A few days of hard work is no problem." Yue Kaishan leaned against the wooden wall, not daring to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing the bride and groom inside the thin paper window.
"Old Kai, you, you, you, just say so if you can't handle it. Don't you know how serious the aftereffects of the Blood Secret Technique are? You can't cultivate for at least half a month."
For the younger generation, every moment is precious, and they cultivate with utmost urgency in order to enter the Foundation Establishment stage as early as possible. The earlier they advance, the better the results will be. If they miss half a month when they are teenagers, it may take several years of hard work to make up for it.
"It's alright. Blood Secret Technique: Yue is the spell I'm most familiar with. My great-grandfather specifically instructed me to practice this spell more. I won't need more than half a month to recover."
The group subtly moved closer to Yue Kaishan on either side and secretly helped him up.
Just then, the old nanny's voice came from the small living room on the second floor.
“Aunt, you're acting on behalf of my mother. You should see me as you would your mother-in-law. Why aren't you kneeling down? Hey, what brings you here…?”
"I'm here to marry Tang Yue."
"louder!"
"I've come to marry Tang Yue!"
"I told you to speak louder!"
"Snap!" The sound was crisp and loud, and the three people outside the room seemed to find it hard to believe their ears.
This is... an attack on the groom?
The three of them rushed in immediately. As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Yue Kaishan kneeling on the ground, with the old nanny standing in front of him, looking imposing.
The bride stood to one side, her face obscured by a red veil, but she vaguely guessed what was going on and whispered, "Auntie~~"
"Didn't you hear me tell you to speak louder? How can you marry Yue'er if your voice is so soft?"
Yue Kaishan remained extremely steady, with only a slight twitching of muscles behind his shoulders. Veteran soldiers familiar with him knew this was a sign that he was about to make a move.
"Big brother, let's get married."
"I've come to marry Tang Yue!" This angry shout, like a lion's roar, burst forth from the paper window with unstoppable force, echoing throughout the entire courtyard.
The old nanny was momentarily stunned, then smirked and slapped him again.
This time, she wasn't met with a naive and honest face.
In the blink of an eye, Yue Kaishan raised his left hand, his calloused hand gripping the loose, dark-spotted skin like a tiger's claw.
The old woman's body seemed to consist only of slightly thicker skin and sharp, sinister bone claws. After grabbing her, the bone beneath the skin pulled the flesh forward a short distance.
"How dare you be so disrespectful!"
"Quiet." Yue Xingtian's tone was very calm. With a forceful pull, he gripped the old woman's hand so tightly that it almost shattered her bones, and she couldn't help but cry out.
The bride sensed something was wrong. To her, Yue Xingtian was a stranger, and their marriage was merely a matter of family interests. Although her aunt hadn't treated her well, she was still a blood relative.
"What happened? Today is a joyous day, everyone is happy..." The bride instinctively reached for her veil to see what was going on, but another large hand gently held her down.
Yue Xingtian's expression grew even colder, his tall stature allowing him to look down at the old woman before him. "I'm asking you, if I don't shout loud enough, are you going to hit me again?"
"Hmph, of course. If you can't reach that level, then of course you have to beat me, beat me hard! Let go of me, I'm your aunt..."
Yue Xingtian exerted force, forcing her to finish her sentence with a wail instead.
The bride's cousin, the man who was examining the thick red envelope, immediately spoke up to stop him: "This is a major family event for the marriage between Tang Yue and his family. Don't ruin it for yourself."
"Now that you're married, you're my aunt." Yue Kaishan released his grip, his eyes looking at him as if he were a dead man.
The old woman withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, but her eyes became even more ferocious. She didn't get along with the bride to begin with, and if she didn't put the groom in check now, wouldn't the young couple come at her together later?
She was now in a position of moral high ground regarding the marriage alliance between the two families, so she wasn't flustered at all. The other party giving up was a concession, but it was the weaker party who needed to make concessions.
Having managed the Tang family business for many years, she knew that when the other party made concessions, she should press her advantage and seize the opportunity to gain the greatest benefit.
"I'm telling you this now: if you don't meet my standards, you won't be able to marry my bride!"
Yue Xingtian's patience has reached its limit. The "sincerity" that the Yue family has spent today is enough to support another small vassal family. What more do they want?
Upon hearing this, the bride also felt uneasy, took a step forward, and reached out her hand in the direction of the voice, trying to persuade her aunt to stop.
Unexpectedly, a strong force pulled her directly into a tall and warm "wall," her side pressing slightly against strong muscles, and the powerful heartbeat tugged at her heartstrings with every beat.
Sometimes, letting go isn't about letting you go, but rather it's a sign that I'm ready to use my feet.
After a blood-curdling scream, Zhong Ming saw a figure flash before his eyes, and the old woman was instantly kicked away, crashing through the second-floor balcony railing and falling to the ground on the first floor. Even with her mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation, she was still dizzy and disoriented from the fall.
An undeniable force forcefully pulled the bride forward two steps.
Yue Xingtian stood tall and straight like a pine tree, facing the crowd below. Countless surprised, confused, and angry eyes were focused on him.
他 说:
"I'm marrying her today! Let's see who dares to stop me!!!"
