Chapter 541: 527 Chapter 541: 527 In the early morning, this was undeniably the most lively morning Wasteland City had seen in months.
Before the sky was fully lit, people were already bustling about.
Red lanterns hung all over the corridors. Red windows, red walls, everywhere was red.
People preparing food were everywhere. Several courtyards were linked together, each with its own tasks to carry out.
Mu Wanlan was dressing up Ling’er in a vibrant red dress, adorned with various accessories on her head. They had been at it for over two hours in front of the bronze mirror, and Wanlan was starting to feel hungry and a little impatient, saying, “Hey, I think it’s good enough.”
But Wanlan shook her head and said, “No, this mont is one of the most morable in your lifeti.”
“Perhaps not, it’s not necessarily the most morable mont of my life.”
“We need to make you the most beautiful girl in Wasteland City today.”
“I see it more like making a fool out of .”
Wanlan patted her and encouraged, “Don’t always talk about yourself like that. I heard Ye Chen has found several excellent doctors who will soon arrive in Wasteland, so maybe you really will be able to stand again.”
Upon hearing this, Ling’er smiled faintly. She was more accepting now as opposed to her previous refusal.
“Oh, don’t worry, I believe you will be able to stand again.” said Mu Wanlan.
“I’m really hungry. If I don’t eat soon, I might faint. You’ll then have to represent at the ceremony.”
“Don’t scare .” Wanlan pushed a nearby maidservant and said, “Go fetch so food right now.”
The maidservant nodded and left.
“They said it would be a simple ceremony, but they are making such a big deal out of it. I feel like I’m wearing a pineapple on my head.”
“How can it be simple? You are going to be the lady of Wasteland City. If your wedding isn’t grand, it wouldn’t make sense.”
Ling’er replied, “But it’s just about finding soone to share life with. How things will turn out in the future is uncertain. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointnt.”
“It’s your wedding day. Please say sothing beautiful.”
“Truth is, I prefer sothing casual without the heavy burden. It is more relaxing, devoid of pressure. If life turns out well, it should be. If it doesn’t, it’s still acceptable.”
“You’re too negative.” Wanlan continued to fuss with the decorations. Outside, many people had already arrived, and many tables were set up directly on the streets.
Wasteland City was awakened by their noise.
The maidservant ca back with a roast chicken.
Ling’er saw it in the mirror and pushed away Mu Wanlan’s hands, saying, “That’s enough, I need to eat.”
Wanlan seed a bit taken aback and said, “This girl, just holding a whole roast chicken. Aren’t you supposed to cut it first?”
“Everyone is busy. I don’t know where the cook who cuts the chicken went.” replied the maidservant.
Ling’er said, “Stop being so pretentious. I think it’s fine this way.”
“Don’t you dare get this outfit dirty.” warned Mu Wanlan.
“Enough, pour so tea.”
“Hehe, you’re such a foodie. I think eating seems more important to you than getting married.”
Ling’er laughed after hearing this.
The wedding ceremony was presided over by Can Mo.
There were a lot of people. Most of them were from different clans. The New City Sect wanted to use this opportunity to promote their sect. They had beaten the Third Demon twice since their return to Wasteland City. However, they hadn’t had much interaction with other sects. Now they wanted to use this opportunity to interact with them and provide an opportunity for people interested in joining the New City Sect to et.
Many rchants also arrived. Their presence was vital to the rapid developnt of Wasteland City.
Ye Chen stared anxiously at Ling’er’s room, waiting.
Li Mo said, “Don’t be anxious, Ling’er is still getting dressed.”
“I’m not anxious.” Ye Chen replied.
“Can Mo is presiding, there won’t be any problems.”
Ti dragged on.
Eventually, Mu Wanlan brought out Ling’er, dressed like a pineapple bun, and handed her to Ye Chen.
She was indeed beautiful.
Today was the happiest day of Ling’er’s life.
Ye Chen was still sowhat nervous and made several mistakes. In contrast, Ling’er didn’t seem nervous at all.
Ling’er smiled and said, “Why are you so nervous?”
“I’m not nervous.”
After going through an array of intricate ceremonies that Ye Chen couldn’t keep track of, they finally managed to complete them all in accordance with the instructions given. Amidst the sound of firecrackers and people’s laughter, they finished all the rituals after more than two hours, dragging the sun all the way to the top of the sky.
Worshipping heaven and earth, bowing to the elders, bowing to each other as husband and wife…
Suddenly, soone found Can Mo. Urgent news had arrived from Tianle City.
Ye Chen noticed a serious change in Can Mo’s expression. He assud sothing must have happened and imdiately thought of Tianle City.
Can Mo still wanted to keep it hidden.
Ye Chen hurried over and asked, “Did sothing happen in Tianle City?”
Can Mo replied, “It’s nothing.”
A subordinate behind him answered, “The Third Demon’s Yuan nhai, accompanied by a large group of people, headed towards Tianle City during the third watch.”
Ye Chen imdiately asked, “How many people are they?”
“At least twelve hundred people.”
Li Mo exclaid angrily, “Damn it, this Third Demon is really taking advantage of today to cause trouble.”
Kong Sha said, “Perhaps they just want to intimidate us.”
But at this mont, whether the Third Demon’s n really just wanted to scare them, bringing along suddenly twelve hundred people, was sothing they had to be cautious about. Tianle City had only a little over five hundred people. If the people of the Third Demon were not just scaring the New City Sect, with so many people going to Tianle City, Jiang Zhuge would be surely overwheld.
Ye Chen quickly called out, “Li Mo, go quickly and gather our troops.”
“Now?”
Can Mo said, “Let’s continue with the wedding ceremony.”
Ye Chen turned his head back, looking at Ling’er, who was still veiled.
Everyone was watching, the ti was evidently very urgent.
“Li Mo, you go down and gather the n, I’ll be there soon.”
“Got it.” Li Mo went down first.
Ye Chen and Ling’er hurriedly completed all the remaining rituals and then Ye Chen escorted Ling’er to their room.
In the room, Ling’er’s veil was lifted. Even though her face had been covered, she had heard the commotion in the courtyard and had a general idea of the situation.
“Is the Third Demon really going to attack us or just trying to stir up so trouble?” Ling’er asked.
Ye Chen sat across Ling’er, glanced at her, and said, “Whether they’re really attacking or just stirring up things, we need to take it seriously. After all, they ca with twelve hundred people. If they’re really attacking Tianle City, Jiang Zhuge can’t resist. It is worrying if they really an business.”
Upon hearing this, Ling’er also seed quite nervous, constantly rubbing her hands, asking, “What’s your take?”
“It might be possible they just want to cause so stir, but we have to go over there, especially since Yuan nhai led the team.”
Ling’er nodded, saying, “Understood, you have to go. If they truly want to attack Tianle City, it won’t be able to hold on for a long ti.”
Ye Chen nodded.
“Ah, our marriage ceremony is completed, it’s all right, the matter at hand is more urgent,” Ling’er said.
“Regrettably, I can’t stay here.”
“You have to go, can’t rely on guesses.”
“I understand, perhaps it’s just a revenge for Gua Zhengnie, a bluff after all, they could withdraw soon.”
Ling’er gave a slight smile and said, “This Yuan nhai, he’s just jealous of our progress.”
“To suddenly turn a wedding into this kind of situation…” Ye Chen said.
“Heh, it’s okay, I’m very happy, as long as I can be with you, it’s fine.”
“Or, I could ask Can Mo to go.”
“No, Yuan nhai showed up, and brought so many people, you can’t not go there. If they truly aim to attack Tianle City, they want to have a decisive battle with us, it’s unacceptable if you don’t go, you must confront it.”
“I always said, you are the person who understands best.”
Ling’er gave a faint smile and said, “Now is a critical ti, Tianle City cannot have any mishaps. If Tianle City falls, all the advantages we’ve built up would collapse, we must let everyone know our determination.”
That’s also what Ye Chen thought.
“Really, the priority is the matter at hand, I’ll be waiting for your safe return.”
Li Mo walked in and said, “The disciples have been gathered, we managed to mobilize a thousand people, leaving five hundred in Wasteland City.”
Ye Chen heard and nodded.
Ling’er said, “Go ahead, if Third Demon left last night, they’re closer to Tianle City, to be on the safe side, you should hurry over. Don’t worry about , be careful.”
Ye Chen nodded in agreent, Li Mo had already left.
Ye Chen squatted down, looking at Ling’er, sowhat reluctant to leave, he touched her forehead.
“Really, don’t be so sentintal.”
Ye Chen smiled at hearing this, “I will rush back as soon as I can.”
“Don’t worry about , there are many people here, I will take care of myself.”
Ye Chen stood up, went towards the courtyard, and shouted, “Mu Wanlan, take care of Ling’er.”
He then left the courtyard with Li Mo.
Li Mo was extrely angry, swearing, “These tortoise bastards, they deserve to be disciplined, we need to slaughter them.”
Ye Chen didn’t say anything, and headed towards the direction of the square. At the square, the disciples had already gathered, Can Mo and Kong Sha were also present.
Li Mo was still venting, “Why not seize this opportunity to annihilate the Third Demon once and for all.”
“Don’t be so impulsive,” Ye Chen said, gradually calming down.
Can Mo and Kong Sha ca to see Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said, “Can Mo, stay here and hold down Wasteland City. Right now, we still don’t know what kind of mischief Gua Zhengnie is up to. Maybe it’s just a way for him to vent his anger over Gua Zhengnie’s death. But no matter what, we need to take it seriously.”
Can Mo nodded.
“We’ve mobilized a thousand people now, leaving five hundred here. Keep an eye on the surroundings. If there’s any movent at all, you must inform imdiately.”
“Got it, don’t worry. Maybe they’re just trying to prevent your wedding ceremony from going smoothly.”
“No matter what their real intentions are, we must be cautious. Maybe it’s not that!”
“I know, I will keep a close watch on Wasteland City.” Can Mo said.
