Chapter 722 - 720: Inherited Mystic Charlatan 45
After some polite conversation, everyone took their seats.
Ah Chen noticed Lin Xixi busying herself among the crowd. When their eyes met, Lin Xixi nodded at her; she seemed much more mature compared to three years ago.
It turned out that someone at today’s event had started live streaming, and the Fu Family didn’t stop it. In fact, some of the younger generation from the Fu Family were even greeting people on camera, making them appear very down-to-earth.
"Our White Mountain Sect gained a lot of reputation from the last event and picked out many promising young talents. Now, the traditional sects are all eager to keep up with the times and are more than happy to promote their sects. So, they aren’t opposed to these things," Ge Yu explained in a low voice.
Besides Luo Yun, there were several other talented individuals in the volunteers selected that time. The White Mountain Sect certainly benefited greatly.
Although sects often prefer to take in young children as disciples to train them from a young age,
they are always willing to accept those who are particularly gifted, even if they’ve never trained before.
Ah Chen understood, and she withdrew her gaze from those who were live streaming.
The occasion was a traditional Chinese wedding, with decorations reflecting the grandeur of a major sect.
As soon as the auspicious time, calculated earlier, arrived, the wedding ceremony commenced.
However, despite it being a traditional Chinese wedding, the bride’s red veil and such were omitted.
Fu Yingshu and Deborah appeared together, and the venue fell silent.
One had an Eastern appearance, the other a Western one, yet they both looked exceptionally good, making a perfect match standing together.
Moreover, those who knew even a little were aware that Deborah’s soul was actually Eastern.
She initially chose to return using a Western shell only to deceive Wen Song.
According to her, this Western shell was a gift from the system to compensate for past grievances. Curiously, Deborah’s appearance had grown increasingly Eastern over time in this shell.
As they moved to the front, the wedding ceremony continued.
When the ceremony concluded, the whole venue erupted into a lively atmosphere.
The live stream channels of those broadcasting were flooded with viewers. Even those who previously doubted the pair had to admit, three years later, that they still looked well-matched today.
[The feelings between two people are only known to them, others would do well to keep silent.]
[Wishing you a happy hundred years together.]
[Today is a good day; certain people should refrain from being annoying.]
[Boss Feng coming to support indicates that the Fu Family is quite influential.]
The moment when Fu Xianhe greeted Ah Chen was not captured in the live stream, and these streamers knew to keep some things discreet.
So, they were entirely unaware that Fu Xianhe’s favorable attitude stemmed from being unable to gauge Ah Chen’s depth, hence he treated her with respect.
"Miss Feng, can I defeat Fu Xianhe?" Hua Wen’s voice rang out, "But with so many people here today, if I cause trouble, the Mystical Art World might not just stand by and watch."
"Considering that I’ve already transcended the Human Clan, they are Mystic Masters, and seeing non-human troublemakers, they wouldn’t just stand idly by."
He had no qualms about himself, but he couldn’t implicate Miss Feng or the Hua Family.
After thinking it over, Hua Wen decided to find another opportunity.
"You could probably defeat Fu Xianhe," Ah Chen replied through telepathy, "but the opponent surely has some hidden trump and has been training for years, so your chances against him are uncertain."
With the loss of the Strange Bone, Hua Wen’s training time was still too short.
With members of the Mystical Art World present, Hua Wen alone couldn’t kill Fu Xianhe or retrieve his item.
However, if those people did not interfere, there might still be a chance.
"Then I’ll wait," Hua Wen had made his decision long ago and was not discouraged by this.
Although acting today could ruin Fu Xianhe’s reputation,
he wasn’t someone who acted recklessly without considering the consequences.
Ah Chen did not say anything further, neither approving nor disapproving, and Hua Wen took her silence as consent.
At this moment, Fu Yingshu and Deborah were drinking the traditional toast on stage.
[Host, it’s time.] A sudden voice rang out that Ah Chen heard, but no one else did.
In that instant, Fu Yingshu let out a muffled groan, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the floor, landing on the carpet, it didn’t break, it just rolled a few times before coming to a stop.
He involuntarily staggered backward, his body swaying, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, disbelief in his eyes. Meanwhile, Deborah, still standing where she was, maintained her calm demeanor.
Her face showed no panic, carrying the same smile from before, with a wine glass still in her hand.
Guests were in uproar, only then realizing that Fu Yingshu had a dagger lodged in his heart, causing commotion in the entire wedding hall.
What was going on?
[What is happening? Why is Deborah doing this?]
[Isn’t it outrageous for this to happen during the wedding?]
[Why would she kill Fu Yingshu? Do they have some enmity?]
[Logically, there should be no enmity.]
[Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, what I thought was a wedding turns out to be a bride killing the groom at the wedding?]
[I want to know why.]
[So do I.]
[The dagger’s in the heart position, won’t Fu Yingshu die? Though I don’t particularly like him, he hasn’t done anything wrong, right?]
Ge Yu was shocked and stood up abruptly, though he had no intention of stepping forward.
Fu Xianhe reacted the fastest, already at Fu Yingshu’s side, constantly applying talismans on him, then feeding him a Medicine Pill. However, the dagger was temporarily left in place, as rash removal, with it lodged in the heart, could endanger Fu Yingshu’s life.
"Deborah, you... why?" Fu Yingshu couldn’t understand, he genuinely liked Deborah, or he wouldn’t have married her. It was supposed to be the happiest day, yet she mercilessly stabbed a dagger into his heart.
He couldn’t recall doing anything to offend Deborah, right?
"I thought we didn’t have any grudges?"
"I need an explanation."
Disciples of the Fu Family had already surrounded Deborah. Fu Xianhe, with a livid expression, guarded Fu Yingshu and glared angrily at Deborah.
He never expected himself to be so wrong, realizing Deborah’s lack of genuine affection for Fu Yingshu.
If it had been someone else, that stab would have been fatal.
But Yingshu was different; possessing the Strange Bone, even without immediate treatment, it couldn’t take his life.
No matter what explanation Deborah provided today, he couldn’t let go of someone who attempted to take his son’s life.
Deborah’s face turned cold, and she didn’t immediately answer Fu Yingshu’s questions. Instead, she closed her eyes, seemingly sensing something.
Suddenly, she spoke, "Have I succeeded?"
[Yes, host, you have succeeded. This time you successfully obtained the heart’s blood of the Chosen One. From now on, all the fortunes of this world can be taken away by us.]
"That’s good." Deborah laughed; she could also feel a very special power permeating her entire body.
She had certainly returned to settle scores with Wen Song, but more importantly, to find the next Chosen One and extract their heart’s blood.
