When Xiao Chubing spoke those words, the room fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone looked at each other with disbelief, their eyes wide in shock. That arrogant braggart who claid he would unify the Five Peaks is her husband?
Just as one wave settled, another rose—Murong Fei had not fully recovered from the previous shock when Xiao Chubing's words stunned her on the spot once again.
"What... what? That Ling Fan is actually my cousin's husband?" Murong Fei's heart roiled with waves of disbelief and astonishnt.
Murong Bai stood frozen in place. If his niece's words were true, this matter seed quite severe.
Although everyone was unclear about Ling Fan's background, the attitudes of Hou and Mu Ji towards him seed to imply he was no ordinary man!
Otherwise, how could they possibly set aside such grievous hatred and willingly submit?
Murong Qi, who had been quietly observing the scene, couldn't help but take a sharp breath. Could sothing have been overlooked? Did this cousin, who ca from the Secular World, have so hidden identity or background?
Gu Sheng's expression darkened. He didn't recognize that damn Ling Fan; his only desire was to subdue Murong Zun, his granddaughter-in-law-to-be.
If what Xiao Chubing said was true, it only fueled his urge to conquer more.
"Hmph, that damn Ling Fan is your husband? I've never experienced the thrill of conquering a married woman~" Gu Sheng's eyes glead with a mix of excitent and agitation, a barely noticeable sinister smile curling at the corner of his lips.
Gu Liangji frowned, uncertain if Murong Yan's words were true, and imdiately turned to look at Murong Zun.
The dazed Murong Zun suddenly snapped back to reality and looked at Xiao Chubing with icy disdain, "Hmph, you're quick-witted indeed. Do you think I'll believe you just like that?
I have had your useless husband investigated. If he were truly impressive, why wouldn't he have laid a hand on you in two years of marriage?
Young Master Gu is a talented young man, a true dragon among n. I painstakingly arranged this marriage for you. You should be grateful. That Young Master Gu is considering you as his bride is a blessing you cultivated over lifetis; you should cherish it!
I understand you've developed so sentintal attachnt to your forr useless husband, having been with him for so long; even I can comprehend that.
Let's be honest, if you beco attached to a dog over ti, let alone a living person!"
About Xiao Chubing's husband from the Secular World, he seed to have so impression, seemingly also called Ling Fan.
But there are many with the sa na in the world; it couldn't possibly be the sa person and even if it were, he wouldn't care. Just an insignificant ant from the Secular World, how capable could he be!
As for Hou and Mu Ji just now, they must have been compromised by so unspeakable leverage.
Watching the scenario unfold, Gu Liangji suddenly realized what was happening. However, he felt a bit hesitant, thinking that a forced marriage wouldn't be sweet.
"Patriarch Gu, let the young people handle it themselves. Feelings take ti to develop, and I believe Gu Sheng can win over my granddaughter's heart!" Murong Zun laughed it off with a chuckle.
"Grandfather Murong, rest assured, I will take extra care of Yan'er and earn her recognition!" Gu Sheng quickly affird, though a flash of ruthlessness briefly passed through the depths of his eyes.
Gu Manjing inwardly scoffed, "This is utterly absurd. This wretched woman has challenged the honor of the Gu Family ti and again. Just wait and see how the Gu Family deals with you!"
Taking a deep breath, Gu Liangji did not want to linger any longer and promptly made a fist-and-palm salute before turning to walk out of the hall.
Subsequently, two elderly won from the Gu Family flanked Xiao Chubing, seized her in the middle, and led her away. Xiao Chubing's complexion turned pale as she struggled a few tis, but was powerless to resist!
At this mont, outside the Murong Family hall, hovering a hundred ters above, a helicopter remained stationary.
Within the cabin, Ling Fan's expression was dark as water, having clearly perceived everything that had just happened in the hall through the Divine Sense he had sent out.
Upon learning that Xiao Chubing might have been captured by the Murong Family, Official Ling had imdiately arranged for a helicopter to rush over.
He hadn't expected that upon his arrival, he would witness a scene that made him furiously livid— they were actually forcing Xiao Chubing into marriage.
This guy still didn't know about his wife being physically examined by others, otherwise, he would have exploded right there!
"Young Master Ling, this is the place, right? I'll descend now!" The pilot, surprised in his heart, hadn't expected such a hidden paradise here, and today was the first ti he had co to know of it!
"No need, you can go back later. Whatever you see, don't blabber about it when you return!" Ling Fan casually reminded.
Then, with the pilot gaping in shock, he directly opened the cabin door and jumped from a hundred ters in the air!
Inside the hall, Gu Liangji was suppressing a full chest of anger. The wedding procession today was as vexing as attending a funeral, with nothing going smoothly; he felt every cell in his body was suffocating and wanted to vent to soone, but had no target!
Gu Liangji, followed by a group, had just stepped out of the hall when a dark shadow flashed overhead and plumted from the sky.
"Boom!" It struck the ground like a teor.
Instantly, the ground in the outer square cracked open, dust billowing, and a huge crater ford, with the crack extending right up to Gu Liangji's feet.
The people who had just exited the hall were imdiately staggered by the sight, their faces full of astonishnt, unsure of what was happening now!
Murong Zun, coming out from behind, felt a toothache. Today, on this day of choosing a spouse, he had checked the almanac, so why was everything so wrong?
The Murong Family's patrolling disciples and those practicing martial arts could not help but be alard, all turning their gazes this way.
As the mountain breeze swept through, the dust settled, and a handso young man, expressionless, appeared in everyone's sight.
Upon clearly seeing the figure before her, Xiao Chubing couldn't help her shoulders trembling, tears falling in two lines, for this man, like a hero destined for her, had finally descended from the skies at her most perilous and helpless mont!
Murong Fei's mouth gaped open, almost crying out in shock, unbelievingly staring at the figure before her—it was Ling Fan, who she had encountered at Shennong Peak, who else could it be?
"Could it be that what Xiang Hou and Mu Ji said before was all true? Even cousin's words?" Murong Fei muttered to herself confusedly, her thoughts in disarray.
"How dare you! Who dares to create havoc in my Murong Family?" Murong Zun's face turned steely, and he bellowed.
Today's succession of events and provocations had completely ignited the raging anger within Murong Zun!
Ling Fan surveyed the crowd with a frosty gaze, finally resting on Xiao Chubing.
The sight of her haggard and pale face pained his heart deeply, evident of the tornt she had suffered at the Murong Family!
Ling Fan took a deep breath, his eyes ice-cold as they settled on Murong Zun, he coldly said, "You old fool, are you even fit to be human?
Not even recognizing your own daughter, and now daring to snatch my wife to give her away, you damn it, do you think I, Ling Beiming, am easy to bully?"
