As the Universe Turns - Chapter 164
Chapter 164 Banquet
Hearing the sudden sound behind him, Xiao Chen was slightly shocked. How could someone walk behind him without him noticing?
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a big red robe. This man had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he had a smile on his face, his gaze seemed to contain two cold blades hidden deep within it, causing others to tremble with fear at a single glance.
Apart from Villa Master Bie Lifeng, there was probably no one else who could hide his aura so deeply.
Xiao Chen immediately reacted. He cupped his hands and smiled, “This junior has just arrived at your manor. I came out for a walk at night, but I didn’t want to, but I got lost. Please forgive me for disturbing the manor master late at night.”
Bie Lifeng smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. Since that’s the case, why don’t I send my little friend back?”
Even so, he was thinking in his heart, there were many patrolling disciples in the manor, how did this person come here quietly? However, tomorrow was his big day, and he didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere or create any complications tonight.
Xiao Chen could naturally guess what he was thinking. He smiled and said, “This way, I’ll trouble the Villa Master …”
Along the way, Bie Lifeng was very talkative. On the contrary, Xiao Chen was not very familiar with Immortal North Ancient Realm, and he almost revealed himself several times.
Suddenly, Bie Li Feng looked at him and asked, “I see that little friend’s aura is extraordinary. May I know which sect you are from?”
Xiao Chen had already thought of a good explanation in his heart. He smiled and said, “This junior is a disciple of the Profound Yun Sect. His surname is Gu Mingbai.”
“So it’s little friend Gu Bai …”
Bie Lifeng nodded slightly and said, “I met Daoist Ziyang a few years ago. I didn’t expect that such an outstanding disciple as Gu Xiaoyou would appear under Daoist Ziyang in just a few years.”
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “It has been many years since the Sect Master accepted disciples. This junior has learned from Elder Qingfeng.”
‘”Right, right” Bie Lifeng immediately patted his forehead and smiled, “Look at my memory. I forgot that Adept Purple Sun no longer accepts disciples.”
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Yes, Senior Brother Yufeng’s cultivation is far above this junior’s, but this junior doesn’t have the fortune to become the sect master’s closed disciple.”
As he spoke, he secretly pinched a cold sweat in his heart. Fortunately, before he intercepted Xuan Yun Sect and the other two, he had followed them all the way and made some things clear about Xuan Yun Sect. Otherwise, he would have revealed a flaw by now.
After returning to his residence, Xiao Chen did not dare to rashly walk around. He could only wait until tomorrow’s banquet to make his plans.
He didn’t have the heart to sleep that night. When dawn came, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs, drums, and firecrackers coming from the manor. He thought to himself that it was strange for Bie Lifeng. It was just a birthday banquet and he had to make it so grand. It was only an hour before he started to beat the gongs and drums.
He left the house and walked towards the manor. At that time, the gongs and drums in the manor sounded in unison. Lanterns and red flowers hung high and the ground was covered with petals. It was much more joyous than the night before when he came to the manor.
Xiao Chen felt a little strange. He found a young man who was a guest and whispered, “Brother, is this … is Villa Master Bie’s birthday so grand every year?”
The man smiled and said, “The last one was not so joyful. This time, the Villa Master must have a different idea …”
The last one …
Xiao Chen wondered how many years Bie Lifeng had lived, but he didn’t look old. After waiting for a while, the sound of gongs and drums grew louder and louder, causing him to feel distracted. He simply went to the nearby table to pour himself a drink. However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the people from the Ye Clan were also there last time.
Why are the people from the Ye Clan here?
Xiao Chen hurriedly tilted his head to the side. Last time, he snatched Ye Shisan’s Heavenly Ji Token. This matter had not been settled yet. Back then, he did not know how powerful the Ye Clan was, but now he knew a bit. However, he changed his clothes. With so many people here today, it was not easy for the other party to discover him.
It was almost noon when Bie Lifeng walked out of the room dressed in a bright red robe and full of spring breeze. Seeing him come out, the guests on the table were overjoyed. However, Xiao Chen was deeply stunned. He did not even notice that the wine in his glass was full.
“I really want to congratulate Villa Master this time! Haha!”
“Congratulations!”
“So that’s the case … Congratulations, Villa Master! Congratulations!”
Quite a few people stood up from their seats and bowed their hands to congratulate Bie Lifeng on the stage. The sound gradually overshadowed the joyous sound of gongs and drums. Only Xiao Chen’s lonely figure was still sitting on a chair.
On the stage, besides Bie Lifeng, who was dressed in a bright red robe, there was also a woman dressed in cloudy robes. However, the woman’s head was covered with a red lid and her appearance was invisible. She was carefully supported by the two maids beside her.
What’s going on …
Xiao Chen was completely stunned. Wasn’t today Bie Lifeng’s birthday party? Why was it his wedding day? Who was that woman? Wei Yang … No!
He wanted to probe with his divine sense, but the moment he did, he was immediately stopped by a mysterious force. Immediately after, two cold gazes appeared in Bie Lifeng’s eyes.
Shit …
Xiao Chen thought to himself. This Li Feng had lived for hundreds of years, and his cultivation was far above his own. He had sensed his divine sense, but that woman … her height and physique were almost the same as Wei Yang’s. Could it be, no, impossible?
Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat. It wasn’t until the noise in the crowd gradually subsided that Xiao Chen gradually calmed down and stared fixedly at the stage.
Bie Lifeng took a step forward and laughed loudly, “Don’t blame me for not informing everyone in advance. Don’t blame me …”
“Haha!” A white-bearded old man smiled and said, “Then, isn’t the Villa Master going to tell us now? Who is she, Miss?”
“Haha! Don’t tell me, Villa Master, who is this girl?” Quite a few people below the stage immediately chuckled in agreement.
Bie Lifeng smiled and looked at the woman behind him. His voice became much gentler, “Yanran, come up.”
Yanran …
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. There were rumors outside that this girl didn’t remember anything, not even her name, so where did Yanran come from? No, her name is not Yanran …
The woman was supported by two maids. His actions were like a weak breeze supporting a willow, Slowly walking up, Bie Lifeng smiled and said, “Miss Yanran and I met two years ago. At that time, when I came back from the desert, I met Miss Yanran who fainted in the desert … I fell in love with Miss Yanran at first sight. I originally thought that Miss Yanran and I were lonely in this life. I never thought that the heavens would let me meet a beauty by chance and let Miss Yanran appear next to me …”
Xiao Chen did not listen to what he continued to say. At this moment, the word “Wei Yang” appeared repeatedly in his mind, not “Yan Ran”.
After waiting for a long time, he saw Bie Lifeng face the woman and said gently, “Yanran, are you … willing to be my wife?”
The audience fell silent. Everyone stared at the stage without saying a word. Although the woman was covered with a red lid, it was as if she could not hide the shyness on her face. It was only after a while that they saw her nod her head gently.
“Good! Good!”
“Bie Manor Master and Miss Yan Ran are a match made in heaven. Good! Good!” The audience immediately cheered. “Bie Manor Master and Miss Yan Ran are a match made in heaven!”
“Wait a moment!”
However, at this moment, a voice that was incompatible with the surroundings rang out. Xiao Chen stood up. At this moment, everyone looked at him, thinking that this person was too rude and didn’t understand any rules.
Bie Lifeng immediately looked at him with a smile on his face, “Little friend Gu, do you have anything to say?”
Xiao Chen said, “The Villa Master just said that we met two years ago. Does the Villa Master know where this Yanran girl lives and where her parents are still alive?”
“This …”
Hearing this, many people in the surroundings looked at each other in dismay. Today was Bie Lifeng’s wedding day. It was too damaging for him to say such words. However, thinking about it carefully … it seemed that this question was correct?
Bie Lifeng still wore a smile and looked at the crowd below the stage. He smiled and said, “At that time, Yanran was heavily injured. When she woke up, she didn’t remember anything. But don’t promise me that no matter what method you use, she will definitely recover her memories and accompany her home to meet her parents.”
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd immediately felt relieved. This was also true. Bie Lifeng looked at the woman again and said affectionately, “Yanran, are you willing to marry me?”
This time, the woman still nodded in embarrassment and did not say anything. Just as everyone was about to congratulate him again, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and said, “Wait!”
“Little friend Gu, what’s wrong?”
This time, the smile on Bie Lifeng’s face finally disappeared. His eyebrows furrowed, as if he was getting impatient. Everyone around looked at Xiao Chen without saying a word.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Since ancient times, all marriages have been arranged by parents. The Villa Master and Miss Yan Ran are good friends. How can they be so hasty like a beautiful family?”
Hearing what he said, the guests present felt that it was reasonable. However, this brat, no matter how he looked at it, it was as if he was deliberately going to have a hard time with Bie Lifeng today.
Sure enough, Bie Lifeng was furious and unhappy. “I already said that when Yanran’s memory recovers, she will meet her parents at home. Moreover, Yanran is willing to be another wife today, not forced by someone else. I wonder why Little Friend Gu has so many questions?”
“Little friend, it’s best for you to stop messing around. Today is the Villa Master’s wedding day. Quickly sit down and stop talking.”
The surrounding people began to persuade him.
Bie Lifeng no longer looked at him and handed a look to the Master of Ceremonies. The Master of Ceremonies immediately walked up and laughed loudly, “Good luck has arrived …”
“It seems like flowers are not flowers, and no one cherishes teaching pendants. However, thinking about it, it is heartless and thoughtful … I wonder if you still remember me, Miss?”
Before the Master of Ceremonies could finish speaking, Xiao Chen suddenly said another sentence. This time, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence. It was as if a layer of frost had gradually enveloped Bie Lifeng’s face. The Master of Ceremonies was even more stunned on the spot.
Xiao Chen furrowed his brows and walked forward. As he walked, he slowly said, “There are five flowers of vegetation in this world, and six snowflakes alone. Therefore, there is a beautiful name for snowflakes, called the Wei Yang Flower …”
This time, the woman on the stage finally trembled slightly and looked at Xiao Chen. Although her head was covered in red, Xiao Chen had already determined that she was Wei Yang. Otherwise, when she heard this, she would not have any reaction!
“Little friend Gu, what do you mean …”
Bie Lifeng’s face was already very cold. Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “Today, the Villa Master may not be able to get this kiss.”
“What did you say?” Bie Lifeng’s face was as cold as ice.
“I say, she is not your Yanran.”
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he didn’t care about that much. He unleashed the Ling Xian Steps and flew onto the stage. He reached out and removed the red cover from the woman’s head. This time, it came too quickly and too suddenly. No one could see it clearly, and no one could react.
“No…”
However, before Xiao Chen could utter the word “Yang”, his entire body froze in place, unable to utter a single word.
