Chapter 538: The False Bride
Jiao Wan’er had no idea what Xia Qingqing was planning, so she let herself be supported as they walked outside. However, as she saw the bridal chamber getting closer, her face finally changed as she asked, “What are you trying to do?”
“Wan’er, I have no other choice. I had to resort to this last-ditch plan.” Xia Qingqing settled Jiao Wan’er in the shadows of the bushes and then calmly walked towards the bridal chamber.
“Stop, who goes there?”
Zeng Rou, being from the Wangwu Sect, had people from her sect guarding outside the bridal chamber, as they were her family.
The guards quickly noticed someone approaching. When they saw it was Xia Qingqing, they immediately saluted and said, “So it’s Leader Xia.”
“I’m here to talk to Sister Rou,” Xia Qingqing smiled slightly. The charm she displayed at that moment made the guards momentarily dazed.
“Leader Xia, we don’t mean to make things difficult for you, but there’s no reason for the bride to see anyone at this time,” one of the guards hesitated.
Xia Qingqing’s face immediately turned stern as she coldly said, “What? Just because you have a new leader, you no longer respect me, the former leader?”
After Yuan Chengzhi’s accident, Xia Qingqing had been the nominal leader of the Golden Serpent Camp. Although many of the leaders didn’t take her seriously, these ordinary soldiers had no idea of the internal power struggles. Seeing Xia Qingqing angry, they started to panic.
