"So Miss Han and my Haitao have known each other for a long time," Lin Guoli said with a smile. "I assume there must have been some misunderstanding between you, but it's said that one gets to know someone better after a disagreement, and now you do!"
"That is true," Han Qiushui nodded. "If he hadn't offended Lord Lu, how would I have gotten to know him? Fortunately, Lord Lu wasn't angry, otherwise, he would have been in trouble back then!"
Lin Guoli's expression changed abruptly. He had thought it was a trivial matter, but he hadn't expected it to involve Lu Fan. Lu Fan was Lord Lu of Jiangnan, someone they couldn't easily offend. Even if Lu Fan married Lin Ke, he might not treat them with much leniency.
"Qiushui, no matter what, the Lin family is related to Lord Lu by marriage, so we cannot be too rude," Old Man Han interjected. "Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Lord Lu. You should know our Han family's rules; disrespecting Lord Lu is punishable!"
"I was just saying a few words, Grandfather, please don't take it seriously," Han Qiushui said awkwardly. "It's just bringing up old matters, nothing serious!"
"Sister Han is right, we're just chatting familiarly, which is perfectly normal," Lin Yalan quickly added. "My brother has always been willful, I hope Miss Han won't hold it against him!"
"Of course, I won't hold it against him. If he wants to argue with Lord Lu, that's another matter!" Han Qiushui smiled faintly.
Lin Yalan looked a little embarrassed but dared not say much more. The Han family of Jiangbei were supporters of Lu Fan, and Lu Fan was Lord Lu of Jiangnan, so they naturally dared not offend him lightly.
As more and more guests arrived at the Twin Towers, a large number of people were converging nearby, appearing formidable and exuding an aura of killing intent.
"With the assistance of two family heads and the Thousand Divine Doctor today, we will surely turn Jiangnan upside down," Yun Qingshan chuckled, looking at the three elders.
"Brother Yun is too kind. I've long heard of a Lord Lu in Jiangnan, and today I wish to witness firsthand what kind of divine might Lord Lu possesses, that even the Yun family dares to offend him!" The Zhao family head said, "In the past hundred years, I've never seen such an arrogant person!"
"Precisely, truly a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger," the Wang family head sneered. "I want to see what makes this Lord Lu of Jiangnan so extraordinary!"
"With the help of several seniors, we will surely make the surname Lu bow down and submit. By then, Lord Lu of Jiangnan will also become a prisoner," Yun Bei quickly flattered. "It's just a bit of trouble for you seniors!"
"What trouble is there in this? It's just a trip. Our major martial arts families are friends, and we should help each other," the Zhao family head stated. "Only by uniting can we have such a position in the country!"
"Brother Zhao is right!" Yun Qingshan nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing. This time, he would not sit idly by and would make Lu Fan pay the price.
The humiliation the Yun family suffered in the battle of Jiangbei would be avenged today.
Yun Yiyi looked at the scene before her, feeling a bit helpless. She actually didn't want her family to fight with others, but that was how martial arts families were. If there were grievances, they had to be resolved through force; either submit or perish.
"Lord Lu's wedding is indeed grand!" Li Qing exclaimed. "Roses all over the sky, the entire Qingzhou City is filled with the fragrance of flowers!"
"Even if he has immense wealth, he will likely not escape disaster tonight," Yun Bei said proudly. "This is the consequence of offending the Yun family."
"Yun Bei, although the Yun family is powerful, there are still existences stronger than the Yun family within the country," Yun Yiyi said. "One cannot be too arrogant, or there will be great trouble in the future!"
"Auntie, you are a member of the Yun family, how can you boost the prestige of others and dampen our own spirit?" Yun Bei frowned. "This battle is inevitable today, and Lord Lu of Jiangnan will surely be beheaded!"
Yun Yiyi remained silent. It was precisely because she couldn't stand the family's atmosphere that she had been wandering outside. Now that the Yun family was going to attack Lord Lu, it would be improper for her not to come.
"Master, are you really going to intervene then?" Li Qing looked at Qian Qiuzi. "The Divine Doctor's Hall never interferes in external affairs. If you intervene today, it might cause dissatisfaction among many people, especially in the martial arts world."
"The Yun family is friendly with me and personally invited me, how could I refuse?" Qian Qiuzi said directly. "You don't need to say any more. Since I have already come, I cannot decline. Otherwise, wouldn't it be seen as timid and damage the reputation of the Divine Doctor's Hall!"
With those words, Li Qing quickly nodded and didn't say anything further. Since Qian Qiuzi had made up his mind, he could only follow suit.
However, in Li Qing's opinion, such a major mobilization was unnecessary.
He had heard many stories about Lord Lu in Jiangnan these past few days and was very curious about this Lord Lu.
Outside the Twin Towers, Little White Dragon led the Qingyun Sect members on guard. Seeing a group of people approaching, he couldn't help but frown. They knew very well that it was Lord Lu's wedding day, and so many people appearing likely meant they were not here with good intentions.
Yun Qingshan led the group into the Twin Towers, attracting the attention of many. These people were here to watch the festivities, but they hadn't expected anyone to come and cause trouble.
"Who are you? Do you have an invitation?" Little White Dragon asked. "The Twin Towers have been booked. If you don't have an invitation, please leave quickly!"
"What a joke! Even if your Lord Lu were here, he wouldn't dare speak like that," Yun Bei said coldly. "Hurry and report! Say that the Yun family of Jiangbei has arrived!"
"The Yun family of Jiangbei?"
Little White Dragon was startled. He was quite knowledgeable about the various prominent families, and they were well aware of the Yun family of Jiangbei's influence.
"Are you here to offer congratulations or to cause trouble?" Little White Dragon asked calmly. "If you are here to offer congratulations, you are welcome. If you are here to cause trouble, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
"Do you have the qualifications to say that?" Yun Bei stepped forward, exuding a powerful deterrent. He was a young prodigy of the Jiangbei generation, having reached the peak of Grandmaster cultivation at a young age, and was the most likely candidate to enter the Grandmaster realm in the Yun family soon.
Little White Dragon was displeased and was about to assert himself when Yun Yiyi stepped forward. "You'd better go and invite your Lord Lu! A few of you cannot stop everyone!"
Little White Dragon frowned and couldn't say anything more. Although the Qingyun Sect members were not weak, with so many experts from the Yun family, it was likely they were not here with good intentions. Any slight misstep could lead to endless trouble.
Meanwhile, inside the banquet hall, Lin Ke ascended the main stage, appearing like a fairy, astonishing everyone present. They hadn't expected Lord Lu's future wife to be so beautiful.
Lin Aotian, holding Lin Ke's hand, looked solemn and respectful. Lu Fan stood tall and straight in the center of the stage.
Lin Aotian, with a look of satisfaction, handed Lin Ke over to him, revealing a gratified expression.
