Chapter 251 - 103: A Beauty’s Wrath (Part 3)
Inside and outside of Lie Family Mansion, several hundred tables were arranged for the wedding feast. The celebratory firecrackers had gone off, leaving red paper scattered all over the ground.
General Tianwei had changed out of his martial robe into a bright red wedding attire, riding a tall, strong steed, his face glowing with happiness.
Outside the Lie Family Mansion, Lie Chang’an was nodding and bowing obsequiously, a sight that provoked disdain in onlookers.
While joyous music played outside, in the courtyard of Lie Family Mansion, Lie Sisi was covered with gauze, her face crisscrossed with yellow-green scars that were thinly veiled.
She bowed deeply: "Second Grandfather, Sisi will not let you down on this journey."
After the Pill Master examination, Lie Sisi returned to Lie Family Mansion and remained in solitude for several days.
The cold ruthlessness of Fa Xiaoyun had sobered her up from the headiness of love. She began to see things more clearly.
Having realized this, Lie Sisi was not only free from despair, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yue Xiaoqi, in your previous life, you were alone and fearless.
But in this life, you have family and friends by your side, and any one of them is your Achilles’ heel."
Lie Sisi understood that now Yue Jinghua, as a Danlu Alchemist, was akin to having a talisman that protected her from death. The Fa brothers wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on her no matter who came to power.
To strategically retreat is to advance, and blind recklessness is foolish.
