Xia Feng’s chosen direction was naturally towards Gongyu Jinghan.
Xia Feng led the few people there with a swagger. They had already entered the mansion, and no one came to question them.
After all, the mansion’s barrier had been opened. Such a barrier would take even a Saint Venerable Great Perfection expert some time to break, so there was no need to worry about such matters.
It wasn't as if someone at the Saint Venerable Great Perfection level would be stopped at the door when attending a wedding, right?
That was neither possible nor conceivable.
Therefore, Xia Feng and the others walked very casually, making their way towards the room where the bride was located.
As they approached the bride's room, there were clearly guards stationed outside. When Xia Feng and the others got closer, a guard extended his hand to stop them, saying, "Esteemed guests, you cannot enter here. This is the Deputy City Lord's bridal chamber."
"Alright, we're just looking around," Li Yurou replied with a nod.
"You can tour anywhere without guards," the guard added specially.
Where there were no guards, one could tour. Where there were guards, one could not.
It was just that there were many people today, so places that were off-limits were guarded.
"Chan'er, you all find a place to sit first. I'll take Yurou around for a bit and find you later," Xia Feng turned to instruct Liu Chan.
Having so many people follow along was somewhat inconvenient.
After all, Li Yurou was going to see her childhood friend. If everyone tagged along, wouldn't it startle her?
"Yes, Young Master," Liu Chan nodded and left with Feng Yu'er and the others for the time being.
Xia Feng and Li Yurou circled the area outside Gongyu Jinghan's bridal chamber. Xia Feng then grabbed Li Yurou, and they disappeared, reappearing inside Gongyu Jinghan's bridal chamber, conveniently setting up a soundproof barrier.
Gongyu Jinghan was startled by the appearance of the two people out of thin air.
Before Gongyu Jinghan could speak, Li Yurou was the first to exclaim, "Jinghan, it's me! Do you still remember me?"
Li Yurou's face was filled with surprise. Although Gongyu Jinghan had changed a lot from her childhood, no longer possessing that youthful face and now appearing extremely beautiful, she could still recognize some of her childhood features.
Gongyu Jinghan looked at the beauty before her, scrutinizing her. After a long while, she asked doubtfully, "Are you Yurou?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's me, it's me!" Li Yurou shouted excitedly.
Gongyu Jinghan's eyes suddenly turned red. The two sisters quickly moved towards each other and hugged tightly.
They both poured out their longing for each other over the years, hugging and crying uncontrollably.
Watching the two embracing, Xia Feng recalled a slogan from Earth:
"Soul, your soulmate, the one who truly understands you."
After a long while, Gongyu Jinghan separated from Li Yurou and asked in surprise, "Yurou, how did you find me?"
"I missed you, so I wanted to come and see you. Just now, outside the door, your father wouldn't let me in, so I realized something was amiss. I snuck in to see what your situation was."
Li Yurou briefly explained the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Gongyu Jinghan's expression turned cold. "He doesn't deserve to be my father. He threatened me with his death and forced me to marry this old fogey, Zhi Rui Zhen."
"Old fogey?" Li Yurou was taken aback, then asked with concern, "Jinghan, tell me the specifics. Perhaps I can help you."
Li Yurou cared deeply for her childhood friend. With Xia Feng around, she felt confident.
She knew of Xia Feng's righteous spirit; he was willing to help with any unfair situation.
This was also one of the reasons Li Yurou admired Xia Feng.
"Yurou, don't bother. The opponent's strength is too great, and this matter is settled. Don't act rashly, or you'll suffer."
Gongyu Jinghan shook her head, rejecting Li Yurou's kind intentions.
She didn't want to get her childhood friend involved because of her, which would be a complete loss.
"Yurou, if you don't want to marry and they are forcing you, I can ask Young Master for help." Li Yurou then turned to Xia Feng and asked pitifully, "Young Master, can you?"
"Yes," Xia Feng nodded.
At this moment, Gongyu Jinghan remembered the other person. With a questioning look, she turned to Xia Feng and then asked Li Yurou, "Yurou, is this your dao companion?"
"Ah..."
Li Yurou's face flushed at the question, and she quickly shook her head, denying it. "No, no, it's not."
Seeing Li Yurou's flushed face, Gongyu Jinghan seemed to understand something.
Unrequited love.
