"Guest of the Bai Clan has arrived." Following the shouting from the manager outside, Bai He, Bai Hao and the group from the Bai Clan walked in.
Liu Xuan immediately brought Liu Yifeng to welcome him, "Haha, the Bai Clan Brothers are here? I'm really going to miss this opportunity. "
"Hehe, the Liu Family Patriarch is too serious. As the joyous occasion is near, you actually have a glowing face, haha. " Bai He cupped his hands together and laughed heartily.
"Why isn't Master Bai here? Could it be that you don't want to be entertained in your humble home? "
"The Family Patriarch of the Liu Family is joking. Father is in isolation and cannot come. Please forgive me."
"Haha, no matter. I was just casually saying those words." Liu Xuan immediately changed the topic and turned his gaze towards Bai Hong, Bai Jun and Bai Yu, who were behind the two of them. The young masters and young madams of the Bai Clan were truly dragons among men. Old Master Bai is so lucky to have three such outstanding grandsons and granddaughters. "
When these words came out, Bai Hong and Bai Jun could not help but reveal a little complacency on their faces.
Bai He waved his hand and laughed, "If you want to talk about the dragon and phoenix of men, how can my family's three compare to young master Liu? "Right!"
"Uncles, you flatter me." Liu Yifeng took a step forward and politely cupped his fists. As he spoke, he looked towards the Bai Clan. His gaze finally stopped on Han Chen's body.
Han Chen also felt that the other party was strange and could not help but narrow his eyes as he became vigilant.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Bai Clan's entourage was led into the courtyard and greeted courteously.
Speaking of which, the various big families of Hidden Court City were not as harmonious as they looked on the surface. The open rivalry and the covert warfare were stirred up by the dark currents. These are inevitable. Naturally, Liu Xuan's words contained a little probing meaning.
All the influential families in the Hidden Court City were basically here. Both Bai He and Bai Hao were familiar with each other. Both of them greeted the others whom they knew as well.
Han Chen stood in the middle of the Bai Family line and looked at the people around him calmly. He had grown up here as well, and had come to know quite a few familiar faces. However, due to his special identity, he seemed a little out of place in the group.
"Liu Yifeng, Liu Yifeng. Is this the kind of person Ji Rushi is going to marry? " Han Chen subconsciously turned his gaze towards Liu Yifeng, who was receiving guests.
He was extraordinarily handsome, had an outstanding background, and with his exceptional talent, he was already at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining when he was young. This condition was indeed very compatible with Ji Rushi.
However, from Liu Yifeng's gaze just now, Han Chen could clearly feel a trace of malicious intent. He had a nagging feeling that today's matter wouldn't be as simple as it seemed.
"What are you thinking about?" A gentle voice came as Han Chen's shoulder was patted from behind.
"Hmm?" Han Chen was stunned. The one who patted him was actually Bai Yu, the daughter of his second uncle, and also his cousin. If I remember correctly, this should be the first time you talk to me! "
"Oh?" Bai Yu couldn't help but to be startled, her bright big eyes gently moved, "Really? I can't remember exactly what happened in the past. "
Chapter 87 - Insults
The Liu Family was bustling with noise and excitement. Those who were familiar with each other would chat and laugh. The majority of the people would talk about how Liu Yifeng and Ji Rushi were compatible and envious.
"After today, Young Master Liu will be the future son-in-law of the Ji Clan. "Lady Ji is also the future wife of the Liu Family. Haha."
"What permission? What permission?" "Alright then!"
Listening to the crowd's laughter and discussions, he could feel the bustling atmosphere around him.
Just when Han Chen felt that he was at odds with this environment, Bai Yu lightly patted him on the shoulder and took the initiative to talk to him.
In Han Chen's memory, this was the first time the other party had spoken to him.
"I'm fine!" Bai Yu spread out her hands and gave a slight smile. "I just came here to chat with you because I saw you here bored by yourself."
Han Chen laughed, and did not say much. Perhaps to him, boredom was no longer anything. During the few years he was in Mystical Peak, he had long ago gotten used to it.
Seeing how the other party was treating her so indifferently, Bai Yu couldn't help but lightly frown. Speaking of which, her looks were not inferior to Ji Rushi at all. In Hidden Court City, there were many men who pursued her.
Bai Yu unhappily pouted and said, "You haven't come back in so many years, have you forgotten about the people here?"
"I'm fine!" Most of you remember. "
"Oh? "Is that so?" Her white eyes moved as she pointed to a certain spot, "Then tell me, who are they?"
Han Chen was startled, and looked towards the direction the other party was pointing. It was a middle-aged couple. The man had an extraordinary bearing and was rather heroic. A woman with a kind face and a gentle smile in her eyes.
"Isn't that Ji Rushi's parents? Uncle Ji Chengming and Aunt Su Hui. "
"I really do remember!" Bai Yu laughed softly. That middle-aged couple was Ji Rushi's parents, Ji Chengming and Su Hui.
Many of the people present congratulated Liu Ming as they were about to form a family alliance with the Liu Family. Su Hui and Bai Muxuan were once close sisters, so it was natural for Han Chen to call her "Aunt".
After that, Bai Yu pointed at a few people for him to identify, which Han Chen answered all of them.
"Not bad! When you left the Hidden Court City, you didn't seem to be even ten years old! I still remember so many people! "
"Is that so?"
The two chatted for a while and seemed quite familiar with each other. Just then, Han Chen's heart skipped a beat, his intuition told him that there were two unfriendly eyes staring at him. Lifting his eyelids, as expected, he saw that it was located diagonally opposite to him on the left. A tall and handsome young man was coldly staring at them.
He originally thought that it was Liu Yifeng, but he didn't think that it would actually be someone he didn't know. Han Chen frowned, and asked: "Who is that person?"
"Hmm? You still want to test me? " Bai Yu felt a little surprised and looked over. When she saw that person, she immediately became a little unhappy. " "Hmph, that person is a madman."
"Madman?"
"That's right! "That madman from the city leader's mansion."
City Lord's Mansion? Han Chen muttered softly. Then, witaise of his eyebrows, he blurted out, "Could it be the City Lord's son, Meng Huo?"
"Who else could it be but him? He's the one I hate the most. "He always acts like he is the most respected one in the world. Isn't he already at the ninth level of Qi Refining before us? He just thinks he's amazing."
"Ninth level of the Refinement Realm?" That's quite impressive. " Han Chen expressed his admiration, and looked over, Meng Huo was already walking to another place to chat with someone.
Bai Yu, who was at the side, curled her lips in dissatisfaction. She hated Meng Huo so much, other than his arrogant personality. Another thing was that he had once pursued Bai Yu and openly expressed it. Bai Yu was his woman, so he didn't want anyone to have any ideas about her.
Bai Yu, who was similarly arrogant, was naturally so angry that she was on the verge of jumping. When he first found Meng Huo, he scolded him harshly. However, the latter still did not give up. From time to time, she would express her goodwill towards him, causing Bai Yu to loathe him more and more.
Han Chen was not stupid, he was able to see something. was afraid that he had mistaken himself as a love rival, he laughed and shook his head, not taking it to heart.
"The bride is here!" A clear female voice sounded ou
t, and the attention of everyone present turned to the entrance of the courtyard.
Ji Rushi who was dressed in a white dress appeared in front of everyone, accompanied by the servant Xiao Cui. Today was not the day to get married, but Ji Rushi had put on a bit of makeup. Her cheeks were blushing. She was truly a rare beauty.
Everyone cheered and clapped together.
Ji Rushi's parents, Ji Chengming and Su Huai, all looked at their daughter with expressions of love. Even the patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Xuan, was quite satisfied with this future daughter-in-law.
"Hehe, brother should marry sister-in-law as soon as possible. Become an official husband and wife as soon as possible!"
Right at this moment, a graceful figure jumped out from behind Liu Xuan, held onto Liu Yifeng's hand, and with a bounce, pulled her towards Ji Rushi.
When he saw the young lady that suddenly popped out, Han Chen was startled, and subconsciously blurted out: "It's her?"
"Who is it?" Bai Yu asked, puzzled.
"She is Liu Yifeng's little sister?" Han Chen asked, his eyes staring coldly at the lively and innocent girl.
"That's right! She is Liu Yifeng's younger sister, Liu Xin. "
No wonder she said it was the caravan of the Liu Family that day. Han Chen took a deep breath. The girl called Liu Xin was none other than. It was the rude and unreasonable woman that Han Chen had met in the caravan.
At that time, Han Chen would be lost in the mountains, and would go find them to ask for directions. The man he was talking to had agreed to bring him along, but in the end Liu Xin had rejected him. After the incident, she even called Han Chen a beggar, not worthy to sit in their Liu Family's carriage. Therefore, Han Chen had a very deep impression of her.
"So she is the young lady of the Liu Family. What a coincidence." Han Chen secretly shook her head. No wonder she was so arrogant, she was probably spoiled since she was young.
Under the gazes of everyone present, Liu Yifeng and Ji Rushi walked towards each other. The man was handsome and extraordinary, with an unrestrained demeanor. The lady was gentle and beautiful, elegant and refined. Standing together, it was truly an enviable pair.
"Ru Shi, you're so beautiful." Liu Yifeng had a tender smile on his face.
Ji Rushi's face turned red, her eyes moved, and she said softly, "There are still so many people by the side?"
"Sister-in-law is shy, hee hee." Liu Xin clapped her hands, then covered her mouth and laughed.
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter. The joyous atmosphere was suddenly mentioned. The patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Xuan, and Su Hui, who was standing beside him, looked at each other and laughed. They pointed at Liu Xin and said, "This girl."
"That's right!" Miss Liu Xin is right, we should get married soon. "
"There's no need to wait any longer. I'll just forget about marrying her today."
"Young Master Yi Feng, what are you waiting for, such a beautiful wife?" Finish the joyous event early and enter the bridal chamber, haha. "
Some of the guests started booing and some of the ones who were clueless started booing. Ji Rushi's beautiful face was as red as an apple, she didn't even dare to raise her head.
"Hehe, if it'oem, I naturally have to marry." Liu Yifeng waved his hand, signalling for everyone to stop. "His handsome appearance and smile are still as brilliant as ever." However, I have one more matter to settle today. "
Solve one thing?
Everyone present could not help but be taken aback, while Ji Rushi revealed a puzzled expression. In the end, she stopped in the middle of the Bai Family disciple queue and extended her hand out to point aandsome youth standing beside Bai Yu. "Han Chen, can you stand out for a moment?"
The sudden scene caused Han Chen to instantly become the focus of everyone's gazes. Bai He and Bai Hao, who were leading the team from the Bai Clan, were both slightly surprised. However, Bai Hong, Bai Jun and a few other disciples revealed expressions of schadenfreude.
Ji Rushi's beautiful face changed, her heart full of suspicions. What did Liu Yifeng want to do?
"Han Chen? is it Mu Xuan's sister's child? " Not far away, Ji Rushi's mother Su Hui was surprised.
In the end, what was coming had finally come. Perhaps he knew from the beginning that all of this wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Han Chen squinted his eyes and pursed his lips. He slowly stepped forward to the middle and stopped less than two meters away from Liu Yifeng and the others.
Liu Xin's eyes widened at the side, and she said uncertainly, "You, you're that beggar."
Han Chen frowned, a cold look flashing past his eyes. Liu Xin's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and couldn't help but shrink back. He then frowned, and a trace of rage surged out from his face.
"Is there something Young Master Liu wants from me?" Han Chen's tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Heh." Liu Yifeng had a playful smile on his face, disdain and despise filling his brows, "Han Chen, I'll tell you something today in front of everyone. If it was Ruan Shi who was my person, the marriage agreement between you and her would not be counted at all. From now on, you no longer have any relationship with her. "
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The moment he said that, the entire audience immediately fell into an uproar. The doubt in everyone's heart was solved, and they all revealed expressions of enlightenment.
"Oh, I remember now, it's actually Han Langyu and Bai Muxuan's son."
"No wonder it looks so familiar." Wasn't he studying in the Mystical Peak? Why are you back? "
"It can't be because of Miss Ji, right? I heard that the two of them were previously engaged! "
"Forget it! I heard that he's not doing well at all in Mystical Peak. He'iece of trash who doesn't even have any innate divine abilities. "
Everyone recognized Han Chen, but the majority of them had a look of contempt and disdain on their faces. Long ago, the people from the Hidden Court City knew that Han Chen was a "trash".
When they found out that he didn't have any innate abilities, almost everyone treated him like a joke. It was also because of this that Ji Rushi's father, Ji Chengming, insisted on betrothing her daughter to Liu Yifeng.
The voices of everyone present were like knives that pierced Han Chen's eardrums. Who could defend him? Why did this happen? He had never thought of a marriage contract, but why did the other party still want to target him?
An angry flame gradually ignited in his heart. Han Chen stared coldly at Liu Yifeng, his voice bone-chilling, "What do you want?"
Chapter 88 - Furious Raging
In reality, Liu Yifeng had already set urap for the Liu Family, who appeared to be in high spirits, to get engaged to Han Chen.
Most of the well-known people in Hidden Court City were gathered here. The matter of Han Langyu marrying into the Bai Family for Bai Muxuan. It was already confirmed that Han Chen would definitely attract attention from outsiders in the future. A child born upside down is good. If one's natural talent was dull, the result could be imagined.
The gazes of everyone present were fixated on Han Chen, Liu Yifeng and Ji Rushi.
Ji Chengming and Su Hui's expressions were a little complicated. After all, back then, and Ji Rushi were deemed by outsiders to have been engaged to each other. Now that Liu Yifeng had revealed this matter publicly, it would inevitably affect their Ji Family.
The Patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Xuan, just stood quietly at the side. It seemed that he did not want to interfere with his son. The Liu Family had always been domineering, there was no doubt about it.
As for the members of the Bai Clan, besides Bai Hao and Bai Yu, they were a little angry. The others looked as if it had nothing to do with them. Especially Bai Hong and Bai Jun, traces of gloating could be vaguely seen between their brows.
"Well? "Hehe." Liu Yifeng raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile that was yet not a smile, "Han Chen, I want you to come today. Just like how I told you
not to think about such things anymore. His future husband is me, Liu Yifeng. "
"Heh, then I really have to congratulate you." Han Chen let out a cold laugh. He glanced at Ji Rushi with an indifferent glance, who had an ugly expression, and replied immediately, "I told you earlier, Miss Ji and I are at most ordinary friends. The so-called marriage contract was an even more illusory thing. I, Han Chen, have never thought about these things when I came back. "
Every word was hard, every word was like ice. Han Chen endured the anger in his heart and calmly finished what he was saying.
"Yi Feng, don't make things difficult for Han Chen, there really isn't any relation between us." Ji Rushi pulled on Liu Yifeng's sleeves and advised him gently.
These were just a few words that Ji Rushi had subconsciously said, but in everyone's ears, it had completely changed. All kinds of small discussions were being held in succession, the noise was like the flapping of flies.
"Miss Ji seems to be rather concerned about Han Chen."
"Is there something more to it?"
A fierce look flashed through Liu Yifeng's eyes, and he looked at Han Chen with a face full of contempt, and said, "I think you misunderstood me. What I'm trying to say is that you and Rushu aren't even friends. Trash will forever be trash and will not have the qualifications. "
These words were extremely unpleasant to hear, even Ji Rushi was complaining about it. However, Liu Xin, who was standing beside her, revealed a disdainful smile.
The gazes thrown out by the audience pierced Han Chen's skin like needles. The anger that he was struggling to suppress exploded out in an instant, his fists were clenched so tight that sounds of cracking could be heard, "Liu Yifeng, you better take back what you just said right now."
The surrounding people were all stunned.
The second brother of the Bai Clan, Bai Hao, could not help but frown and was about to step forward to stop Liu Yifeng. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Bai He. "Don't be anxious. Let's take a look first."
