Who is Qingyun Li Qianfan?
Among the thousands of people present, perhaps only the Young Master Tianci would know, and no one else.
Even.
Lan Yunhai, who had vowed to take both Su Ziyu and Ning Xiaolan into his embrace, couldn't be bothered to remember this name.
Likewise.
How many people among the thousands present knew the name of his wife, Su Ziyu?
However, it was certain that Su Ziyu's reputation here was far more resounding than Li Qianfan's.
At the very least.
Lan Yunhai, Murong Mingyuan, and Scorpion, among others, had not only heard of her name but had also seen Su Ziyu.
So.
Why did Li Qianfan come to congratulate Young Master Lan and Miss Murong on their wedding in place of his wife, Su Ziyu?
Moreover.
Before his arrival, the brain-jolting melody of "Black People Carrying Coffins" drifted in.
Was this melody suitable for a joyous wedding?
Silence.
The hall, filled with as many as a thousand people, suddenly fell into a silence as sharp as a cut throat.
This was because their normal thought processes simply couldn't accept this sudden turn of events.
Their brains simply crashed—
But their eyes could see what they wanted to see.
Two coffins.
Two vermilion large coffins were carried into the hall by twelve men and women.
Bang!
The coffins landed with a resounding thud that made the floor of the hall tremble.
Everyone not only saw the two coffins but also the white paper pasted on them, which clearly read: "Congratulations to Young Master Lan Yunhai and Miss Murong Mingyuan on your grand wedding!!"
A wedding full of joy and guests.
Yet, someone played a coffin-carrying tune and brought in two coffins.
What was this?
Huh?
What was this!!
Before the thousand or so people present could react, four men dressed in black, with straw ropes tied around their waists, each grabbed a corner of a coffin and roared in unison: "Lift!"
The two heavy solid wood coffins were quickly lifted by the four of them and stood upright at the entrance of the hall.
As the coffins were raised, the unnailed lids clanged to the ground.
And then—
Dead people!
Two dead people, who had been forced into the coffins and then had their limbs and chests nailed to the coffin boards with steel bars as thick as a thumb, were suddenly thrust into the sight of everyone present.
These two dead people were a man and a woman.
The man's name was Niu Shuo.
The woman's name was Yan Lili.
They were both dressed in festive red clothes and had rouge and powder applied to their faces, looking quite festive.
But their eyes, which were almost bulging out of their sockets, were covered with a film like white fish skin, staring blankly at the most radiant newlyweds in the hall.
It was unspeakably eerie!
Silence.

The scene remained deathly silent.
Whether it was the hotel staff, the guests, or the people from the Lan family of Tiandong and the Murong family of Sixiang, they were all staring blankly at the two coffins.
Staring at the two dead people in the coffins, their brains continued to crash.
Even the most timid person made no sound at this moment.
Only the speakers outside the door continued to play the brain-jolting "Black People Carrying Coffins" melody.
Everyone suspected they were dreaming.
If they weren't dreaming, how could they possibly see such a preposterous and eerie scene?
Who were the ones carrying the coffins?
The "Black People Carrying Coffins" melody finished.
Click.
Click-clack.
The crisp and pleasant sound of high heels on the floor echoed from behind the coffins.
Then everyone saw—
A peerless young woman exuding an evil charm, with a young man on her left arm, entered with graceful steps in high heels.
The young woman's gaze swept across the room.
She slightly parted her cherry lips and said, "I'm very sorry, it seems we're late. But it doesn't matter. As long as our gift is sincere, even if we're late, I believe Young Master Lan Yunhai and Miss Murong Mingyuan will warmly welcome us."
Whoosh—
The crowd snapped back to reality as if waking from a dream!
The first person to regain consciousness was the ill-mannered Young Master Tianci.
He almost peed himself—
Excitedly.
Young Master Tianci roared in his heart: "Buddha, thank you! Thank you! Although I don't know who gave Li Qianfan the courage to come to Yufeng Mountain Villa and stir up trouble at the Lan family's wedding just because he can fight, I wholeheartedly welcome him with both hands and feet. Buddha, please bless Li Qianfan and let him snatch Lan Yunhai's new bride tonight! If that happens, I'm willing to abstain from women for a month."
Slap.
Lan Ximing was the second to regain consciousness. He slammed the table heavily, pointed his finger at Li Qianfan and Jing Ran, and roared hoarsely, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble at the wedding of my Lan family and the Murong family of Sixiang!"
Chu Yazhi was the third to regain consciousness.
Her delicate face was ashen, but unlike her husband, she didn't waste words asking who the man and woman were.
Instead, she was exceptionally decisive and shouted sternly, "Scorpion, kill this man and woman on the spot!"
Scorpion was the fourth to regain consciousness—
"Madam, you can rest assured!"
Scorpion let out a sinister laugh and, along with his three companions (who were also the trusted confidantes of the Lan Yunhai family, the same ones who had tried to forcibly search Su Ziyu that evening), lunged towards Li Qianfan.
At this moment.
Even the most respected Elder Lan and the most distinguished members of the Murong family could not stop Chu Yazhi's order for Scorpion to kill Li Qianfan and Jing Ran on the spot.
"Ah, there are dead people!"
Many people in the venue sobered up, and the timid finally screamed in fear at the sight of the two dead people, covering their eyes with their hands.
Lan Yunhai's face also suddenly turned ashen.
"Damn it!"
Murong Mingyuan, dressed in her wedding gown, let out another娇叱 (jiāo chì - sharp scolding), and with a flip of her wrist, drew a golden whip from her waist.
"Mingyuan, you don't have to do it yourself!"
Lan Yunhai instinctively tried to stop her, but she pushed him away with her hand.
"Whoever dares to ruin my wedding will surely die."
Murong Mingyuan娇叱 (jiāo chì) again, kicked off her high heels, raised the whip high, and like a small white mare, charged towards the entrance.
With only one thought.
That was to whip Li Qianfan and Jing Ran to death with the horsewhip!
Only then could she wash away the disgrace of them daring to disrupt her sacred wedding.
As for Elder Lan.
His old face was pale, his heart trembled, and he wailed internally, "Is the bad premonition about to come true?"
He couldn't afford to hesitate.
He stood up abruptly and roared at Scorpion and the others who were rushing towards the entrance, "Stop! Don't hurt anyone! Let's talk and negotiate if there are any problems."
Before Elder Lan's words could finish—
Chu Yazhi, her delicate face contorted, cursed viciously, "Old man, at a time like this, you still can't hurt people?"
Elder Lan, who had such great prestige, was actually being cursed as an "old man" in public by his eldest daughter-in-law.
Elder Lan froze, looking bewildered.
But he could see!
He could see!!
Scorpion, who had rushed to Li Qianfan first, had just raised a fork, intending to stab him in the heart, but his wrist was grabbed.
Li Qianfan's right arm was held by Jing Ran's left hand.
When Scorpion lunged over, Jing Ran showed no intention of letting go.
As the eldest grandson of Yang Xiao, the only son of Li Wujiang, if he couldn't kill Scorpion with one hand, he might as well die!
Slap.
Li Qianfan's left hand locked onto Scorpion's right wrist.
Before Scorpion could react, Li Qianfan's left foot lashed out like lightning.
Duang.
One kick landed heavily on Scorpion's lower abdomen.
"Ah—"
Scorpion, who had been fantasizing about stabbing Li Qianfan to death with a fork, or at least severely injuring him, suddenly felt excruciating pain in his wrist and a tearing sensation in his abdomen, and let out a shrill scream that he could no longer control.
