"Holy shit, holy shit!"
"Quick, look! The National Preceptor is kneeling!"
"My god, he’s kneeling to Ye Zixiao?"
"A knife across the butt, I've seen it all!"
Witnessing the ancient National Preceptor kneel, and seeing his retinue raise their curved blades, even the less experienced members of the Lin family, who hadn't seen much of the world, exclaimed with excitement.
This was a ritual from the Demon Kingdom.
They had seen it on television.
When the Demon Kingdom's Saintess ascended, the King led his subjects in such a prostration!
Countless eyes fixed on Ye Zixiao. The audience wanted to know what this crazy Ye had become. How could he, a live-in son-in-law, a pretty boy, receive such treatment?!
At this very moment.
The National Preceptor, kneeling on one knee, called out.
"Respected Mr. Ye, I, on behalf of the Demon Kingdom's Saintess, the King, and the Queen, sincerely invite you to visit the Demon Kingdom and further deepen the friendship between our two nations."
"Aho, aho, Aho!"
Dozens of attendants shouted in unison.
Their voices were high-pitched, their momentum like a rainbow!
"Good, good, good, please rise quickly."
Ye Zixiao was about to break. He had never seen such a scene! He thought, his second senior sister could really stir up trouble. It was fine for her to send the National Preceptor to offer congratulations, but why did he have to kneel?!
The National Preceptor gracefully rose.
The attendants sprang up, their heads bowed straight.
Amidst the exclamations of thousands of people in the entire manor, Ye Zixiao sent his father-in-law, Lin Dong, to escort the National Preceptor to the side of Luo Meixi and ordered his father-in-law to sit with him.
A National Preceptor!
He could not be treated carelessly!
Ten minutes later, the manor quieted down again. The guests, as if by unspoken agreement, craned their necks and looked towards the entrance of the Lin family, wondering if any more important figures would arrive.
The Demon Kingdom's National Preceptor had already arrived.
Could there be anyone more impressive?
On the street outside the manor, a long convoy of luxury cars was parked along the roadside. It seemed that no more important figures were coming, as those remaining outside were essentially security personnel and attendants.
The Chu family's formation.
They were now in a state of panic.
After seeing the National Preceptor, Li Yan had lost all interest in the wedding. He took important officials from the Beihai City government and hurried to the backstage for a meeting.
As for Commander Chu, he was furious, his teeth aching. But he quickly calmed down because, as far as he was concerned, as long as they didn't leave Beihai City, there was nothing to be nervous about.
After all.
The hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Beihai were his.
A group of military generals, dressed in plain clothes, gathered around Commander Chu, murmuring in low voices, discussing what to do next, and whether to still make a move against Ye Zixiao.
"Let's forget about it!"
"Commander, you must think twice!"
"Yes, Commander Chu, Ye Zixiao's identity is a mystery. The Crown Princes of the three major cities, Luo Meixi, and the Demon Kingdom's National Preceptor are all here. If we make a move, it could blow up!"
Several trusted generals strongly advised.
"What are you panicking about?!"
Commander Chu glared, his right hand behind his back, a cigarette clamped in his left hand, exuding an imposing air. "The three Crown Princes are very powerful, but this is Beihai. They wouldn't dare to start a fight here."
The trusted generals nodded slightly.
Commander Chu continued, "Luo Meixi has a lot of influence, but she's just a celebrity at best. If I want to kill someone and take revenge on my own turf, would I care about an actress?"
The trusted subordinates nodded again.
"As for the National Preceptor!"
Commander Chu took a drag of his cigarette, pursed his lips, and said, "No matter what his relationship with Ye Zixiao is, he's a foreigner. He wouldn't dare to act rashly. If he makes a move, it will affect the friendly relations between the two countries."
"Commander, then your intention is..."
A division commander asked anxiously.
"The Chu family's wedding is canceled. We'll watch the Lin family's wedding first. After their wedding, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll notify the Xiao family to make their move, and we'll make our grand finale appearance."
"Received!"
"Understood!"
The trusted generals accepted the orders.
Just as everyone was about to disperse, the street, which had quieted down, was suddenly filled with the roaring sound of engines? It seemed another motorcade was approaching!
"Holy crap, someone else is coming?!"
"Who else could be an important figure?"
"Why do I think it looks like military vehicles?"
"Damn, the good show keeps coming!"
The guests, who had just calmed down, stood up again upon hearing the noise. Some shorter individuals, unable to see, simply stood on their chairs, craning their necks to watch.
On the street outside the manor.
Indeed, another motorcade had arrived.
This motorcade wasn't long, about ten vehicles, but they were all military armored SUVs. Some of them even had Gatling guns mounted on their cargo beds.
A piercing screech of brakes echoed.
The military convoy stopped at the entrance.
With a clang, the doors of the military vehicles were flung open, and a large group of guards immediately assembled, all carrying firearms, quickly approaching one of the vehicles.
"Security!"
"No unauthorized personnel allowed near."
"Report, no anomalies."
The guards shouted professionally.
The car door was pulled open from the outside. A middle-aged man in an administrative jacket jumped out with an imposing aura. He said with a stern expression, "Guard company, follow me inside. The rest wait here."
"Yes!"
"Guard company, clear the way."
"Make way."
With crisp shouts, a company of guards escorted the jacketed man forward. They walked with long strides into the entrance, and the jacketed man stood before the person taking notes.
"He-he-hello, Officer!"
The Lin family member in charge of notes stammered!
"Officer, may I ask who you are..."
The Lin family member responsible for announcements trembled.
"Damn it!"
The middle-aged man in the jacket laughed heartily and said loudly, "I don't have money for gifts, so I'll give this handgun to the Ye kid to play with. This gun has killed many enemy generals."
Saying that.
He tossed a handgun onto the table.
"Th-this this..."
"Officer, may I ask who you are?"
The person taking notes and the announcer were so frightened they didn't know what to do. Firstly, the scene presented by this jacketed man was far from ordinary. Secondly, who brings a handgun to a wedding as a gift?
"This is the greeting card, look carefully."
The head of the guard company handed over a card.
The announcer took it with both hands.
It took over a minute before the announcer finally accepted the title on the card. He tremblingly raised the microphone, swallowed, and was about to announce it.
But when he opened his mouth.
He couldn't make a sound!
"I'll do it!"
The company commander snatched the microphone.
"From the Dragon Country's Dragon Capital Protectorate, the Dragon Country's War Department Supreme Command, under the Second Officer Ling Fei, the First Protectorate Army Chief of Staff, Lei Guoan, wishing Mr. Ye Zixiao a happy wedding."
His voice was loud and clear, every word distinct.
As his voice fell.
The entire manor fell into an eerie silence!
Ten seconds passed.
No one dared to speak!
However, apart from a very small number of insiders, the vast majority of people were thinking to themselves, because just hearing the title read by the company commander was enough to scare them to death!
The Dragon Country Protectorate?
The Dragon Country War Department Supreme Command?
Second Officer Ling Fei?
Protectorate Army Chief of Staff?!!!
Perhaps many people didn't recognize this Chief of Staff, but no one in the entire venue was unaware of who Ling Fei was. Ling Fei, the Second Officer of the Dragon Country Protectorate, was in charge of the entire Dragon Country's army.
Ling Fei's Chief of Staff was here?
Why?
Attending Ye Zixiao's wedding???
Just as most people were excited, confused, and bewildered, the Commander of the Beihai City Garrison, standing among a group of trusted generals, suddenly his legs went weak, and he plopped down onto the ground.
Commander Chu felt a warmth in his crotch.
He had actually wet himself from fear!
