A megaphone?
Chen Wenyi's eyes widened first, then she blinked hard. Finally, she stared motionlessly at the things the men opposite were holding.
At this moment, she heard the unique crackling sound of a megaphone, as if it were the most beautiful sound in the world.
She actually saw a megaphone here! This kind of thing only existed in modern times. Could it be that in this small world, she wasn't the only transmigrator?
This was simply wonderful! After being here for so long, she never expected to meet a fellow countryman today. Looking at it this way, the expert who divined her fate was truly formidable!
He predicted that the original owner would face a great calamity, and that as long as she survived it safely, she would meet her destined person during the marriage proposal today.
Divine! Truly divine! It seemed that although she wasn't the protagonist, she was at least a supporting character with a name and a surname!
Chen Wenyi didn't know if she could get married, and frankly, she didn't care much, but meeting another transmigrator was a gift from heaven!
Moreover, the people opposite looked very powerful, and must be doing very well.
But which of them was the transmigrator? And how should she recognize him?
Chen Wenyi's eyes sparkled as she looked at the few people on the opposite rooftop. The thought that one of them was likely a transmigrator, and had learned such powerful martial arts, increased her confidence in learning the art of light footwork.
With the guidance of Su Muqing and the others, the crowd began to slowly disperse. Some with ill intentions tried to cause trouble in the chaos, but they were all apprehended by the men on the rooftop with excellent vantage points and thrown to a high place with no escape.
Fortunately, their intervention was timely. By the time the street could be used normally, apart from a few people who had fainted due to prolonged oxygen deprivation, there were no fatalities. This was considered a blessing in disguise!
Especially the children. Because they were squeezed between the adults' legs, and their upper bodies were tightly pressed together, the air below was actually more abundant than above. Therefore, most of the children were merely frightened.
When Leng Ren and his team went to Tianzhao Country to find medicine, they had once saved drowning soldiers. Coupled with Su Muqing's instructions, they were able to quickly assist the unconscious people themselves.
A joyous marriage proposal by throwing a silk ball almost turned into a thrilling, large-scale life-threatening event.
When the crowd lined up in an orderly fashion to receive wedding rice and money, and the crisis was completely resolved, the Chen family patriarch couldn't help but be moved to tears. He looked at the people on the opposite rooftop with immense gratitude.
After the commotion, the sun was already setting. At the repeated invitation of the Chen family patriarch, Su Muqing and his companions flew to the third floor of the Yingbin Tower.
These individuals were all exceptionally skilled and possessed an extraordinary aura, clearly not ordinary people. Furthermore, they had helped the Chen family resolve such a significant crisis, and were naturally received with warm hospitality by everyone in the Chen family.
The potato pancake that Leng Ren had been holding was almost mashed by him. The embroidered ball in his other hand was even more慘不忍睹 (miserable to behold), with more than half of it kicked into a dent. The red threads inside were exposed unevenly, making it look like it could fall apart at any moment.
Looking at the embroidered ball in his hand, Leng Ren pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward and extended the ball to the Chen family patriarch.
"Uncle Chen, I apologize for kicking your beloved's embroidered ball. It was not intentional. If you are willing, I can go and buy you another one and have Miss Chen throw it again."
Unexpectedly, when the Chen family patriarch saw the damaged embroidered ball that Leng Ren presented, he laughed heartily, his eyes crinkling. Perhaps he was too happy at that moment, as his portly physique and triple chin jiggled with his laughter.
To everyone's bewilderment, the Chen family patriarch grabbed Leng Ren's arm. "Hahahaha… why throw it again? Where is there a need to throw it again? Didn't you just send the embroidered ball back? My good son-in-law…"
The moment his arm was grasped, Leng Ren's eyes tightened, and he suppressed the instinct to throw the person away. The surroundings fell silent, and only then did he realize what the Chen family patriarch had called him.
What did he call him? Good son-in-law?
Su Muqing and Huo Qiyuan exchanged a glance, seeing the amusement in each other's eyes. The other members of the Leng team were also taken aback by the Chen family patriarch's address, but they soon found themselves eager to watch the spectacle.
The Chen family patriarch was in a truly good mood, never expecting that his destined person had truly appeared. The ball was thrown by his daughter at the auspicious hour. Although it didn't hit anyone, the person kicked it away, which was considered a connection. Now that he had retrieved the ball, wasn't he his good son-in-law!
"Hahahaha! Announce to everyone to start distributing celebratory gifts! For all who congratulate my Chen family on gaining a fine son-in-law, the celebratory gifts will be doubled!"
Before Leng Ren could voice his polite refusal, the Chen family patriarch shouted to the servants waiting below. The Chen family had always been generous, and today, with the happy occasion, they were even more so.
Soon, the street was filled with laughter and joy. To receive double the gifts, the congratulatory voices continued for a long time without ceasing.
Watching the people in front receive double portions of wedding rice and money, those still queuing behind could only fret. After the scare they had just experienced, they were much more subdued now. Even if they were anxious, they could only obediently wait at the back of the line, not daring to push forward recklessly.
To be honest, Leng Ren was genuinely bewildered, and had remained silent. He didn't understand how he had become the chosen son-in-law just by returning the embroidered ball.
As for the protagonist of this marriage proposal event, Chen Wenyi, she hadn't paid attention to her father's words at all, and had automatically ignored the fervent congratulatory cheers from below.
This was because she was currently intently observing the people in front of her, trying to discern who her "fellow countryman" was.
After looking around, Chen Wenyi finally focused her gaze on Su Muqing. While the silver-haired man was very handsome, he looked very cold. Moreover, he had a strong ancient aura about him, so he was quickly ruled out.
Su Muqing was petite. Although her face had been modified, it only made her face look less astonishingly beautiful. However, upon seeing her ear piercings, and the slight protrusion of her chest even after being deliberately bound, Chen Wenyi instantly determined that this person was a woman disguised as a man.
Furthermore, the way she looked at Chen Wenyi was different from the girls she had encountered since her transmigration. They were either shy and timid, or pedantic and listless, devoid of life.
