Chapter 2293
byIn the inner hall, Luo Jin held the silk ribbon of the bride, smiled slightly, and turned to walk inside.
At this time, on the table on the left of Yang Kai and the others, an old man with gray hair suddenly stood up, smiled and walked towards the two of them, and stood still in front of the two of them.
The sound of wind and percussion instruments stopped, and the gongs and drums fell silent. The scene suddenly became solemn and respectful.
The old man smiled and said, “I am very honored to witness this marriage for the city lord.”
After a pause, he then continued, “On this auspicious day, the two of you are tying the knot and forming a happy union. I hope that in the days to come, the two of you will love each other deeply, have a harmonious marriage for a hundred years, and treat each other with respect. Do the two of you agree?”
Luo Jin smiled and said, “Luo mou agrees!”
The old man nodded and turned to the bride and asked, “And you?”
The bride’s delicate body trembled slightly, and a pleasant voice came out from within the phoenix coronet: “I…”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly changed slightly, and the throbbing and uneasy feeling in the depths of his heart became even stronger. He always felt that he should be very familiar with this voice!
Before he could continue to listen clearly to whose voice this was, suddenly, from somewhere in the inner hall, a person shouted in a trembling and coquettish voice: “I don’t agree!”
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.
Everyone looked in the direction of the source of the sound in unison, wondering which audacious person would dare to make the city lord lose face in front of countless powerhouses.
Luo Jin’s expression was even more furious, and he turned his head and shouted in that direction: “Who is so bold!”
His face was almost distorted with ferocity. Today was the day of his concubine ceremony, a joyous occasion but he had never expected that it would be ruined at this critical moment, and a thick murderous intent couldn’t help but rise in his heart.
His eyes were filled with a cold light, and he carefully examined the direction of the sound source. He snorted and said, “What? Have the courage to ruin this seat’s good deed, but not have the courage to stand up and admit it?”
Immediately, a guest beside him shouted, “Stand up obediently and apologize to the city lord. Maybe you can be spared from death. If you dare to be stubborn, today next year will be your death anniversary!”
Luo Jin said, “Today is this seat’s happy day. This seat doesn’t want to take a human life. You stand up obediently, and this seat will not make things difficult for you!
After the words fell, in a certain place in the crowd, a person suddenly stood up.
The person was wrapped in a black robe from head to toe, making it impossible to see the true face. However, seeing the person’s height and figure, it was clearly a woman.
“Capture!” As soon as Luo Jin saw this person stand up, he suddenly waved his hand.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, immediately several warriors from the City Lord’s Mansion rushed towards that person.
The woman stood there. She didn’t seem to be panicked at all. Just as those people were about to rush in front of her and capture her, she suddenly lifted the black scarf on her head and revealed her true face.
Under the gaze of everyone, they all suddenly widened their eyes, dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
“Ah?”
“This…”
“The eldest lady?”
The several martial artists from the City Lord’s Mansion who charged towards the woman were originally imposing, ready to directly capture this woman and then take her to a secret place to discipline her well. But upon seeing her appearance, their complexions all changed drastically. They withdrew their moves in mid-air and landed in a sorry state, all dumbfounded.
Because they discovered that the person who had disrupted the ceremony at a critical moment was none other than the Youdaoplaceholder0 daughter of the City Lord’s Mansion – Luo Bing!
Qiu Yu suddenly stood up and stared at Luo Bing in astonishment. He never expected that Luo Bing had actually been in this inner hall all along, and even disrupted the ceremony of the City Lord.
He had just separated from Luo Bing yesterday, and at that time, Luo Bing was still fine. He couldn’t figure out for the life of him why, just one night later, Luo Bing would do such a thing.
For a moment, the inner hall was completely silent, and everyone looked at Luo Bing with strange expressions, not knowing what she was trying to do.
“Bing’er!” Luo Jin’s body also trembled, and he stared at Luo Bing with wide eyes. “How did you…”
Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to have suddenly discovered something and said in a deep voice, “Who bullied you?”
He saw that his precious daughter’s eyes were swollen and red, obviously having cried for a long time. And her voice was hoarse, so he didn’t recognize Luo Bing’s voice at the first moment just now.
He instinctively thought that someone had bullied Luo Bing.
Qiu Yu quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva beside him, for fear that Luo Bing would say his name. He thought that Luo Bing was like this all because of himself.
“No one bullied me.” Luo Bing pursed her red lips.
“Really no one?” Luo Jin narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
“Really not.” Luo Bing shook her head. After a moment of silence, she said, “Father, I ask you for one thing.”
Luo Jin sighed and said, “Let’s talk about it later. You go back to your room and rest first.” Deep in his heart, he was very angry and blamed Luo Bing for being so unmindful of the overall situation that she had damaged his dignity and face in front of so many powerful people. Now he just wanted to quickly finish this concubine ceremony and then ask Luo Bing exactly what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Luo Bing didn’t mean to be obedient at all. She just shook her head and said, “No, I have to ask you for this thing now. It will be too late if it’s any later.”
“Bing’er!” ” Luo Jin’s face was full of anger, and he sunken his voice lowly shouted.
Luo Bing instinctively trembled, as if she was a little scared, but her gaze was extremely firm. She still looked at her father, full of pleading.
Seeing her like this, Luo Jin immediately knew that he definitely couldn’t persuade her. He could only sigh and smile at the guests from all directions, saying, “Everyone, I’m sorry. My daughter has been spoiled too much by me, so she’s a bit naughty. I hope she didn’t spoil everyone’s interest.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but relax their expressions. They thought that they had long heard that Luo Bing was highly favored by the city lord. Unexpectedly, she was spoiled to this extent and actually dared to be so naughty at the concubine-taking ceremony.
They all said it was okay and looked very considerate of Luo Jin.
Only then did Luo Jin look at Luo Bing and say, “Speak, what do you want to ask your father for, actually choosing this time… If it’s too difficult to handle, see how your father will deal with you later!” Although there was a threat in his words, there was a smile on his face. Obviously, he didn’t really mean it, but it was a manifestation of doting.
The guests also let out kind laughter and praised the city lord for his fatherly love like a mountain and so on.
Luo Bing bit her red lip, stretched out her hand and pointed beside Luo Jin, and said, “Daughter wants to ask father to let her go!”
After the words fell, the inner hall, which had originally restored a little festive atmosphere, once again fell into a strange silence. Many guests opened their mouths wide, as if they couldn’t believe their ears. And some other people knew that today’s matter might be a bit difficult to handle. For a while, they were all a little uneasy and secretly probed Luo Jin’s face.
Luo Jin’s smile on his face suddenly froze and gradually subsided, and the gloom on his face was almost enough to scrape off a layer of frost, and his eyes were gradually filled with anger.
After a long while, Luo Jin said, “Bing’er, you go down and rest. You are probably too tired!”
He originally thought that his daughter’s opposition to this marriage just now was to take the opportunity to blackmail him and ask him to agree to some difficult conditions for her. He also had full psychological preparation, but now it seems that things are not like this at all. Luo Bing really opposes this marriage.
How could Luo Jin agree? Even if he doted on Luo Bing no matter how much, he would not let the bride go away in full view of the public. If he really did this, where would his face be? Where would his majesty be? I’m afraid he won’t be able to manage Tianhe City and become the city lord here in the future.
“Daddy, you promise me!” Luo Bing pleaded.
“Presumptuous!” Luo Jin shouted angrily, looking at Luo Bing with hatred for iron not becoming steel, and said, “It seems that Daddy doted on you too much before, making you lose your sense of proportion. Get back to your room and don’t step out of the room without my permission!”
“Daddy…” Luo Bing cried, “People are not voluntary. Why do you force others to do what they don’t want to do? Will you let her go.”
“Hiss…”
Bursts of hissing sounds rang out.
Although everyone knew in their hearts that almost none of Luo Jin’s concubines had married him voluntarily, this kind of thing should just be kept in one’s own stomach, and no one would point it out. But if it was brought up and said in public, the meaning would be different.
And it was precisely Luo Bing who said these words!
All the martial artists in the entire inner hall, after hearing these words, felt their hearts jump suddenly. There was a strange feeling that a violent storm was about to come, making people uneasy.
“Let her go, daughter will always be by Daddy’s side in the future, honor you, and listen to you. Daughter will never cause trouble again and will definitely be obedient in the future.” Luo Bing was still crying and pleading.
Luo Jin’s face almost distorted, turning ironish, and he shouted: “What are you talking nonsense about!”
Luo Bing said: “I’m not talking nonsense. I know who she is and why she wants to marry you. Just let her go.”
Luo Jin shouted angrily, “What are you all looking at?” The young lady has gone crazy. Hurry up and take her down and take good care of her.”
Hearing his order, the few martial artists of the City Lord’s Mansion who had been at a loss before finally moved again and rushed towards Luo Bing one after another.
However, at this moment, a person who had been sitting beside Luo Bing suddenly stood up, grabbed Luo Bing’s neck, and with a pale white eyeball, looked around at the crowd, and coldly snorted, “Whoever dares to come over, I’ll crush her to death!”
The few warriors of the City Lord’s Mansion who rushed over were shocked and once again fell from mid-air in a flurry of confusion.
The other guests who came to congratulate also widened their eyes again, never expecting that today’s ceremony would be so full of hidden undercurrents and twists and turns.
“It’s him!” Yang Kai’s brows furrowed, looking at the one-eyed eyed, long-haired who was holding Luo Bing hostage a thoughtful look flashing across his face.
He still remembered that yesterday in that restaurant, he had encountered this strong man. This guy seemed to be called Chai Hu. At that time, it was precisely because he had a friction and fight with another group of people that he left the restaurant early.
I never thought that this guy named Chai Hu would actually mix into the ceremony and even dare to hold the eldest daughter hostage of the City Lord’s Mansion in full view of everyone.
However… this person only has the cultivation of the Void King Third Layer. Even if he has Luo Bing in his hands, I’m afraid his fate is still worrying.
Thinking of this, he looked at the new bride who had been standing beside Luo Jin again. Since seeing this new bride, he had had a strange feeling. And at this moment, when he looked over, he saw that the new bride’s delicate body was trembling, as if struggling with something.
