The many guests below, witnessing the scene before them, also showed a touch of tenderness. Such a grand wedding, even in a kingdom, would be rare. The entire city was adorned with roses, showcasing immense generosity.
Especially from the floor-to-ceiling windows, roses cascaded continuously, dyeing the entire Qingzhou Lakeside crimson. Within the Qingzhou Lakeside, the river surface was covered with roses, causing ripples.
"Mr. Lu, do you take her as your lawfully wedded wife?" the host asked, holding the microphone. "For better or for worse, in sickness and in health!"
"I do!"
Lu Fan's voice was gentle as he gazed at Lin Ke with deep affection.
The guests below were deeply moved by the touching scene. Lin Yalan, in particular, felt a surge of emotion; perhaps this was the true meaning of marriage.
However, at this very moment, Han Yunhai flung open the doors of the banquet hall and rushed in anxiously. No one knew what had happened, and everyone was filled with curiosity.
This was a crucial moment, and Han Yunhai's sudden appearance caused many to be surprised.
Lu Fan cast a meaningful glance at Han Yunhai. Han Yunhai seemed to understand Lu Fan's unspoken message and remained rooted to the spot.
He had intended to inform Lu Fan that the Yun family of Jiangdong had gathered many experts, and it might not be appropriate to step forward now.
"Miss Lin, do you take Mr. Lu as your husband? For better or for worse!" the host's voice rang out.
"I do!" Lin Ke nodded solemnly, her eyes filled with love for Lu Fan.
After the ceremony concluded, the guests took their seats, their gazes turning curiously towards Han Yunhai. It was Lu Fan's wedding day, and Han Yunhai's abrupt intrusion was highly unusual. As a powerful figure in Jiangnan and Lu Fan's trusted confidant, how could he make such a mistake?
"What happened!" Lu Fan asked Han Yunhai, knowing very well that Han Yunhai always acted with discretion and would not be this hasty without a significant reason.
"My lord, the Yun family has brought many experts to the Twin Towers," Han Yunhai said solemnly. "The experts from the Qingyun Sect have already engaged them, but their numbers are vast, and many of them are highly skilled. I fear..."
As he spoke, everyone in the hall rose to their feet. It was the wedding day of Lord Lu of Jiangnan, and the arrival of the Yun family's experts could only mean they were seeking revenge.
"They have quite the nerve! Today is my lord's wedding day, what are they trying to achieve?" Fatty Chen said coldly.
"Xiao Ke, wait for me here!" Lu Fan said with a smile. "I'll be back once I've settled things!"
"I'll go with you!" Lin Ke exclaimed. "We are husband and wife now; we will face difficulties together."
"Don't say that. I'm just going to meet some friends; it's not as serious as you think," Lu Fan reassured her. "I'll be back soon!"
With that, Lu Fan strode out of the banquet hall, followed by Han Yunhai and his other subordinates. The Yun family from Jiangdong's arrival today was likely a hostile one, and they would not stand idly by.
Inside the banquet hall, there was a stir. No one knew exactly what was happening, but they were all aware that a great battle might ensue, otherwise, why would the Yun family from Jiangdong come today with so many gathered experts?
Lin Ke, who had intended to follow, was held back by Lin Aotian. "He will handle it. You just need to wait quietly; that will be the greatest encouragement for him!"
"But..." Lin Ke frowned, looking worried.
"It's alright, nothing will happen!"
Fatty Chen chuckled. "Miss Lin, don't worry. With us here, Mr. Lu will be perfectly fine. It's better for you to stay here so as not to distract Mr. Lu!"
Reluctantly, Lin Ke nodded, her heart filled with anxiety. Today was his wedding day, yet someone dared to provoke them. If anything were to happen to Lu Fan, how could she bear it?
"The Yun family of Jiangdong seems to be a martial arts family," Lin Haitao remarked. "If Mr. Lu were to lose, wouldn't the Lin family be in trouble?"
"What? Do you wish for Mr. Lu to lose so badly?" Han Qiushui slowly stood up. "Even if Mr. Lu loses, my Han family will steadfastly support him and follow his lead!"
"Indeed!"
Old Master Han suddenly stood up. "I want to see just how formidable the Yun family is to come all the way to Jiangnan in person."
At this moment, many people turned their gazes towards the Twin Towers, filled with anticipation. They had never witnessed such a grand spectacle.
The many experts from the Han family left the banquet hall and headed towards the Twin Towers, appearing ready to face death. Without Lu Fan, there would be no Han family. Now that Lu Fan was in trouble, they would not flinch, even if it meant their annihilation.
Outside the Twin Towers, the many experts from the Qingyun Sect formed a barrier, but they were under immense pressure. The Yun family alone had a Grandmaster, along with several other prominent families. Such a formidable display was unprecedented, and their faces were pale with fear.
"If Mr. Lu doesn't come down, we don't mind going up ourselves," Yun Bei said coldly. "We'll just smash his banquet hall and turn his joyous occasion into a funeral!"
"How dare you be so arrogant!" Little White Dragon said sternly. "Mr. Lu will be here soon, and then we'll see about you!"
"You probably haven't understood, have you? It won't matter even if he comes," Yun Bei sneered. "Because he has no control over the overall situation!"
"Quite the boastful words from a defeated foe, daring to speak so boldly!"
Lu Fan's voice rang out, followed by his many subordinates, exuding an imposing aura. He showed no signs of distress at the Yun family's arrival, and his eyes held a murderous intent.
"It's him!"
Yun Yiyi was startled, and Li Qing beside her was also surprised. They had encountered Lu Fan before and hadn't realized that Lu Fan was the esteemed Mr. Lu.
However, it made sense. Being able to repel Li Qing with a single move, in this generation, only the Mr. Lu of Jiangnan could achieve such a feat.
"What? Do you know him?" Yun Qingshan asked. "Or do you have some connection?"
"It's not exactly knowing him; we've met a few times," Yun Yiyi said with an awkward smile. She actually felt that Lu Fan was a good person, not like a villain. Unfortunately, their allegiances differed, making them adversaries.
"Is this the Mr. Lu of Jiangnan before us?" Patriarch Zhao said with a smile. "Truly awe-inspiring. To possess such Grandmasterly skills at such a young age is truly enviable! However, even with formidable strength, one cannot act recklessly. How can you dictate terms to the Yun family!"
"I say, old man, have you had too much to drink?" Lu Fan shot back. "When did I ever dictate terms to the Yun family?"
Patriarch Zhao's expression changed. As the head of a prestigious martial arts family and a Grandmaster himself, being addressed so rudely by Lu Fan stripped him of his composure.
"Mr. Lu, there's no need for such agitation," Qian Qiuzi said with a smile. "Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding. If Mr. Lu apologizes, we can withdraw."
