Li Ruolan sighed. Who knows how horrified she was when she heard Feng Che say those words last night? At the same time, she was happy for Xue'er. Since her husband's accident, she had wanted to go and be with him, but in the end, she couldn't bear to leave Xue'er and Grandpa Feng.

Although the Feng family had that incident, they were still a powerful and influential family. Putting the family aside, Feng Che was excellent in terms of character, appearance, and strength. Moreover, his niece was the famous Ji Jiuying in the Heavenly Domain, who had the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Nine Heavens Divine Palace behind her.

Xue'er will certainly not feel wronged marrying Feng Che. Even if the Hell Gate wants to bully Xue'er, they will have to think twice before doing so. The more Li Ruolan thought about it, the more satisfied she became with this marriage.

By this time, the lobby was already full of people, and Ji Jiuying and her group had arrived early as well.

Soon, Feng Qingxue appeared outside the door, carrying a faint scent of incense, indicating that she had just come from the ancestral hall.

"They're here! They're here!"

"Wow, so this is the head of the Feng family?"

"So beautiful."

Those around couldn't help but praise her. Feng Che looked at the person who walked in slowly, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes, and his gaze involuntarily followed the red figure.

"Sister Feng looks so beautiful today, doesn't she, Second Uncle?"

Feng Che nodded, then quickly came to his senses and glanced at Ji Jiuying and Qingling. He saw that their smiles were teasing, and a hint of helplessness flashed in their eyes.

Feng Qingxue walked to the main seat, knelt before Feng Xingzhou, and said in a clear, cold voice, "Grandpa!"

"Okay, okay..."

"Xue'er, our Feng family doesn't have so many rules. You've already given me the Heart-Protecting Jade. Now, Grandpa will hand over this jade pendant, which represents the head of the Feng family, to you. From today onwards, you are the head of the Feng family."

Feng Qingxue bowed and accepted the jade pendant with both hands. Her eyes reddened slightly. This jade pendant was originally worn by her father, Feng Qingchuan, but now it was on her. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

She then knelt before an empty spot on the main seat, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "Thank you, Father—"

Li Ruolan, standing to the side, had reddened eyes and kept wiping away the tears that were about to fall with her handkerchief.

Feng Xingzhou sighed softly, as if it were just yesterday that he had just let Qingchuan succeed him as the head of the family... A wave of melancholy washed over him.

Feng Qingxue wiped away her tears, stood up, and faced the crowd.

"Dear uncles, elders, and fellow villagers, from today onwards, the Feng family will be under my management, Feng Qingxue. I hope you will all take good care of me."

"Congratulations, Patriarch Feng."

Congratulations!

In an instant, the hall was filled with congratulatory words and various noises. However, this joy did not last long before the sound of gongs and drums came from outside the door, and everyone looked towards the door.

"Hmm, is this a big fuss because someone has proposed marriage to the Feng family head?"

"It's not impossible. I've heard that ever since Feng Qingchuan's accident, Old Master Feng and Madam Feng have focused all their attention on Feng Qingxue."

"Who is it?!"

"······"

"Hiss—Second Uncle, it can't be you...!"

"no!"

Feng Che said with certainty, which left Ji Jiuying and the others somewhat bewildered. If it wasn't her second uncle, then who was it? She wanted to see who was so bold as to try to steal her aunt right in front of her.

Everyone looked expectantly towards the entrance. Old Master Feng and Madam Feng exchanged a glance and saw joy in each other's eyes, while Feng Qingxue on the stage couldn't help but look at Feng Che.

Feng Che frowned, met Feng Qingxue's gaze, and shook his head.

Feng Qingxue's smile froze instantly. It wasn't him...?

Just then, a group of people carrying betrothal gifts swaggered in. Seeing these unruly people, Old Master Feng and Madam Feng's faces darkened. Before they could think further, two men appeared at the door and walked in with smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Feng!"

Tu Ba, the second-in-command of Hellgate, walked up, accompanied by Qi Feng.

The men's faces darkened, and Old Master Feng stepped forward: "Tu Ba, Qi Feng, what are you doing?"

"Old Master Feng, can't you see? Of course I'm here to propose marriage. Isn't it wonderful to have two happy occasions today?" Qi Feng's arrogant voice rang out.

"How dare you!"

As they spoke, Qi Feng had already reached Feng Qingxue and said in a low voice, "Qingxue, I don't care who saved you that day. You have to agree today, whether you like it or not. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the Feng family's business can continue smoothly. Do you think your father would rest in peace in the afterlife if he knew that the Feng family had been defeated by you..."

You bastard!

Feng Qingxue's raised hand was grabbed from behind, and spiritual energy quickly gathered, striking Qi Feng sharply. With a loud bang, Qi Feng, like a kite with a broken string, crashed heavily onto the betrothal gifts, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Young Master!"

This scene happened so fast that no one had time to react. The person Feng Qingxue was protecting felt a warmth in their heart.

"Don't worry, now that he's here, it saves me the trouble of going to Hell's Gate to look for him."

Feng Qingxue let him pull her along and nodded slightly, which put Feng Xingzhou and Li Ruolan's minds at ease.

The onlookers were taken aback when they saw the two holding hands on stage. What was going on? Could it be that the Feng family and the Feng family had formed a marriage alliance? How come they hadn't heard a thing?

Tu Ba's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Second Master Feng, today is the day my eldest nephew proposes marriage to the Feng family. What do you mean by this?"

At this moment, Qi Feng also stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the two people on the stage with resentment. His heart sank. It turned out that he had been misunderstanding all along. He originally thought that she liked Feng Yu, but he did not expect that she liked the Second Master Feng!

"Isn't it obvious enough?" Feng Che raised the two people's clasped hands as he spoke, and said, "I'm afraid it won't be as you wish. Feng Qingxue is my betrothed, Feng Che's wife. What? You Hell Gate want to steal her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers started discussing among themselves. The Feng family had been hiding their relationship too well, and they had actually gotten involved with the Feng family. The person in question was Feng Che, who was one of the top weapon refiners in the Heavenly Domain.

"Master Feng is too domineering!" Qingling said in a low voice.

Ji Jiuying nodded: "I feel like my uncle is about to fall in love..."

Qi Feng's eyes widened, and he hissed in a low voice, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Why haven't I heard this before? Just a few days ago, Master Feng said you were still unmarried!"

"Qingxue, you're lying to me on purpose, aren't you?"

Feng Qingxue looked at him coldly: "Qi Feng, I have no reason to lie to you. Feng Che is indeed my fiancé."
