Everyone passing by along the way looked at Bai Mian with envy. Being able to form a dual cultivation partner with the Young Lord of Scorpion City would mean that she would become the Young Lady of Scorpion City in the future, with an extraordinary status.
Especially the Lord of Scorpion City is about to break through in his cultivation and will soon become a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. Such cultivation is rare in Jingwu Country and is extraordinary.
In their eyes, Bai Mian, whose cultivation level was only at the Qi Condensation level, had just taken this action, like a crow flying onto a branch, transforming into a phoenix, and from then on, he would soar into the sky.
Many people who used to be hostile to Bai Mian now showed a look of flattery in their eyes.
Even the elders of the Bai family looked at Bai Mian with great satisfaction.
All the laughter and joyful looks around her ears seemed extremely sharp to Bai Mian, like sharp knives that forced her into hell. But now, she felt lucky.
Although Bai Mian was beautiful, her expression was numb. Surrounded by her maids, she walked stiffly into the hall, came in front of the elders of the Bai family, and stood next to the young master of Scorpion City.
"Bai Mian, you finally didn't let me down again. From now on, as the wife of Nephew Tang, you must behave yourself and learn how to be a good wife. You must learn how to please your husband. Do you understand?"
Bai Jiumu told Bai Mian with great peace of mind.
Bai Mian lowered his head and ignored him.
"Hmph, you are still thinking about that brat? I'll make you suffer later." The young lord of Scorpion City sneered in his heart and moved his eyes away from Bai Mian's face.
Just as he was about to speak, a noisy sound came from outside, interrupting the festive atmosphere in the lobby.
"How dare you! Who is making a noise outside? Today is a big day for my Bai Mansion, and it is not appropriate to see bloodshed. Come, drive all those people away." Bai Jiumu shouted angrily.
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the Bai Mansion collapsed with a loud bang, and several figures flew in from outside, knocking the guests in the mansion unconscious and causing chaos.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that someone would come to cause trouble at such an important moment today.
Bai Mian, who had originally had a dazed expression, suddenly had something in her heart. She turned around abruptly, her pupils trembling, and the immortal demon seed planted deep in her heart conveyed a familiar breath.
Her eyes suddenly became moist: "...Here it comes."
"Senior Sister Bai, why haven't you sent anyone to deliver the promised northern map to me? I've been waiting for so long." A calm voice came from outside the door, and then a dark shadow walked in.
"Since you are grounded here, I will come and get it myself."
"What nonsense you are talking about! The northern map is the foundation of my Bai family. How can I give it to a nameless person like you? Who are you?" The head of the Bai family shouted angrily, his voice containing cultivation and rolling.
Some people with low cultivation and ordinary people felt their eardrums hurt when they heard this sound, and it was of no use even if they covered their ears with their hands at the first moment.
Just as everyone was confused, the Young Lord of Scorpion City took a step forward with a cold look in his eyes. He clasped his fists and said, "My dear uncles, today is the day of my wedding to Bai Mian. I didn't want to talk about this matter, but who knew this person would be so bold as to intrude on this dual cultivation ceremony."
"I can't hide it anymore."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed and they looked towards the Young Lord of Scorpion City.
Bai Jiumu's face turned extremely gloomy. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "Could it be that he already knows about Mian'er and this stranger? Damn it, why is he still here?"
He was angry.
The clansmen who were arranged to assassinate Xue Kong last night did not send back any news in the morning. He thought they had succeeded. During the day, he was affected by the sudden appearance of the young master of Scorpion City and his early marriage, and for a while he forgot about Xue Kong.
Unexpectedly, Xue Kong not only did not die, but was so bold as to appear here.
What made him feel even more uneasy was that from the tone of the Scorpion City Young Lord, it seemed that he had known about Xue Kong's existence for a long time.
If this incident affected the marriage between the two families, the Bai family would have offended Scorpion City for no reason and created a powerful enemy for themselves.
"I wonder what Bai Mian has been through all these years out there, to have such a junior brother. I heard from the servants that just yesterday, Bai Mian met with this so-called junior brother in public, and even threatened to give him the map of the north."
The Young Lord of Scorpion City had a pathetic expression on his face. He said, "I'm worried that Bai Mian might be deceived by some bad guy, so I'm holding the Dual Cultivation Ceremony ahead of time to bring her back and prevent her from making a serious mistake."
"Who knew this man could be so audacious? I'm afraid he came here not only for the northern map, but also for my wife Bai Mian!"
The moment these words came out of the mouth of the young city lord of Scorpion City, there was a huge uproar.
There was a lot of discussion for a while.
Before, they didn’t know why the young lord of Scorpion City was so anxious. It turned out that there was something behind it. For a moment, all the unfriendly eyes were cast towards Xue Kong.
"I can testify for Brother Tang that this person possesses the ability to deceive people. I'm afraid Miss Bai has been bewitched by this. I ask the head of the Bai family to make the decision for Brother Tang. Capture this person today and hand him over to you for your punishment."
The young man surnamed Feng also took a step forward, stood beside the young city lord of Scorpion City, and sneered.
"Unfilial daughter!"
Pop.
A loud slap landed on Bai Mian's face. Bai Jiumu's face was filled with rage, his face red and his neck thick with anger. He pointed at Bai Mian and said viciously, "Listen to how generous Nephew Tang is, and you, ungrateful, did such a ridiculous thing."
"Why don't you apologize to your nephew immediately and ask for his forgiveness!"
Bai Mian felt a little dizzy at this time. She had received a solid slap in the face just now. Bai Jiumu did not hold back in order to show off in front of the Young Lord of Scorpion City, and left a big slap mark on her pink face.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Bai Mian's mouth.
"Apologize... hehe." Bai Mian laughed bitterly. She raised her head and met the gazes of her clansmen and elders. Those gazes were filled with reproach and unkindness, and even ridicule.
She was already disillusioned with her people. She turned around and looked at the young lord of Scorpion City with hatred, then suddenly turned around and walked out of the lobby.
This scene shocked everyone, and the expression of the young city lord of Scorpion City immediately became gloomy and cold.
Bai Mian trotted out of the lobby, walked through the surging crowd, and threw herself on Xue Kong's broad and thick chest. Her whole body seemed to melt into Xue Kong's arms, and a low sob sounded softly.
"Heartless, selfish, and indifferent, but...he still came."
"Even if I'm not worth mentioning, even if I'm nothing, please take me away, take me away from here, and then you can kill me or chop me up as you please. I don't want to see these people anymore."
Xue Kong gently pushed Bai Mian away, pinched her chin, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and spoke calmly: "Senior Sister, those years in the Demon Sect didn't change you. Now, do you understand?"
"Whether it's friendship, love, or even family, they will betray you and become insignificant."
"I came here today just for the map."
"but……"
