Jing Teng was secretly shocked. Some of the people who blocked her way along the way were even as strong as her, but none of them could withstand the power of his sword. How did this man cultivate? He was so young, yet so powerful.

The key point is that he's also quite handsome...

She quickly came to her senses and, seeing that it was getting late, said, "Let's find a place to rest nearby before it gets dark. It's dangerous to be out in the wild at night."

Zuan asked curiously, "The ones we've encountered along the way haven't been difficult to deal with."

“At night, some much more powerful beings come out to roam, far stronger than those encountered during the day,” Jing Teng replied.

Although Zuan wanted to reach Zhichuan as soon as possible to complete the mission and find the whereabouts of the other girls, her words were clearly not unfounded. In addition, with Wei Suo's face turning almost blue, he finally stopped: "It would be good to rest for a night."

As soon as they landed, Weisuo ran to a corner and started vomiting. Qiu Honglei and Jing Teng both disgustedly kept their distance.

Zu'an went over and patted him on the back, asking with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Motion sickness... Ugh..." Before Vesso could finish answering, he vomited again.

Zuan: "..."

It must have been tough for him to be hanging behind him all the way.

"Hey, there's a manor up ahead, it looks like they're having a wedding," Qiu Honglei said, pointing to a courtyard not far away.

However, it was more like a fortified village than a manor, with walls, crenellations, and watchtowers surrounding it.

In these chaotic times, it's not surprising that powerful local magnates would set up strongholds to defend themselves. On the contrary, it would be problematic if there were only ordinary houses in the middle of nowhere.

"Who goes there?" Just then, dust billowed up as a group of people on horseback returned from afar and surrounded the group.

Zuan noticed their attire; they wore some armor, but not much, clearly indicating they weren't a regular army, but rather resembled armed farmers.

He replied, "We were traveling and passed through this area. Seeing that it was getting dark, we wanted to find a place to stay for the night."

The leader, a burly, dark-skinned man with a sturdy build, laughed heartily: "You've come at just the right time. We're celebrating a happy occasion here, so come and have a drink with us."

A person nearby hurriedly advised, "Brother Zhang, be careful, it might be a trap."

The burly, dark-skinned man replied, "Don't worry, this young man looks respectable and doesn't seem like a bad person. Besides, who brings two women along to do bad things?"

As for Vesso, who was standing to the side, he was simply defined as a sidekick and didn't need to be mentioned at all.

“Miss is always kind-hearted, and today is her big day. If she knew that we turned people away and caused them to be harmed by evil spirits, she would definitely blame us.”

Upon hearing his words, those people immediately fell silent.

Upon hearing the burly man's invitation, Zu An cupped his hands in greeting: "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

So the group of knights followed them into the manor. On the way, they chatted and learned that the other party's name was Zhang Yong, and that he was the head of the manor's guards.

Today is the day their daughter is choosing a husband and getting married.

Vesso couldn't help but sigh, "With such a large estate, it's no wonder she doesn't marry out but instead invites men to marry into her family."

"Why can't I have such good things?" The thought of how the princess of Bright Moon City took Zu An as her husband, and how he now had a celestial woman like Qiu Honglei by his side, made Wei Suo feel even more discouraged.

As they entered, they were suddenly stopped. An old man who looked like an accountant handed them several invitation cards: "Are you relatives of the man or the woman?"

Judging from this, it's clear that a gift is to be given.

Zhang Yong was immediately embarrassed: "Uncle Wang, they are just passing by, and I just invited them over."

At this moment, Zu'an laughed and said, "It's alright, we should indeed give a gift."

After saying that, he took out some gifts and handed them over. The old accountant immediately beamed with joy: "Oh, you're too kind, you're too kind. I can't accept this..."

Although she said that, she had already taken his gift.

"How should we address everyone?" The old accountant picked up a pen to record the gifts on the gift list, which was already filled with names and gifts from each person.

Zhang Yong slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, I actually forgot to ask everyone's names."

Just as Zu An was about to answer, Jing Teng's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Don't say your real name."

Zu An was taken aback, but quickly understood and said calmly, "My name is Daniel Wu."

Hearing him say that, Qiu Honglei, being a clever woman, immediately came up with an alias: "My name is Qiu Xiang."

Jing Teng spoke calmly: "Jing Tian."

Wei Suo was stunned, but he wasn't stupid and immediately said, "Wei Xiaobao."

Meanwhile, deep within the manor, in a secluded chamber, a woman dressed in a bright red bridal gown with a veil on her head slowly opened her eyes and muttered to herself, "Hmm, she seems to resemble the people the Ghost King mentioned."
