Mo Chen returned to the contract space, while Gu Liyan arrived alone at the entrance of the town. To Gu Liyan, the town Cheng Wu had described was practically a vast city!
"Wow, it's huge!" Gu Liyan exclaimed in astonishment as she looked at the bustling city. "I never imagined this new world would be so prosperous."
As they walked toward the city center, more and more people's eyes were drawn to Gu Liyan.
"Look at that person..."
"Is he that one?"
"It must be! It must be! Otherwise, she wouldn't be dressed like that..."
Hearing the voices around him, Gu Liyan looked down at his clothes. They were spotless white, and there was nothing wrong with them. He then walked with a puzzled expression to the young woman who was nearby and discussing him with the others.
"Miss, may I ask what you are saying..."
The girl who was asked a question by Gu Liyan blushed immediately, covered her face, and ran away shyly.
Seeing this, Gu Liyan was even more puzzled. Had she frightened the other party? With her unparalleled beauty, that seemed impossible!
From within the contract space came Mo Chen's hearty laughter: "Look, you've scared that little girl away!"
Gu Liyan replied speechlessly, "What? How is that possible! Others may not know how handsome I am, but don't you know?"
"Besides, I've already proven it to you! Let alone women, I could seduce every man in the world without any problem!"
Before Mo Chen could respond, a loud shout suddenly came from not far away:
"The head of Qingge Hall, Bai, is getting married! Come and see!"
"Hurry, hurry! Let's go see Boss Bai!"
Upon hearing the name Qingge Hall, Gu Liyan's eyes lit up immediately. "I've been searching high and low, it seems Qingge Hall has an event going on!"
Gu Liyan immediately became interested and followed the crowd toward Qingge Hall.
——
Qingge Hall, second floor
The young man in white was dressed in white, with black hair adorned with a red ribbon on his head. A dot of vermilion was placed between his delicate and handsome brows. This was the attire of a married man in this world...
Besides these, the people dressed in white and with stunningly beautiful appearances were mostly disciples of Qingge Hall.
Da da da...
Just then, footsteps sounded on the stairs, followed by footsteps behind. The voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of childishness and shyness, "Brother Bai, Brother Bai Chen..."
Bai Chen turned his head and saw a boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had a youthful and immature face with some anxiety and a hint of anger as he looked at Bai Chen.
"Brother Bai Chen, I heard from others that today is your wedding day. I didn't believe it at first, but I never expected that you would actually agree to that beast Wen Hao's proposal!" Wen Hexuan clenched his fists and spoke angrily.
Bai Chen smiled slightly, a helpless look in his eyes. "Yes, Wenhao's sincerity moved me, so I agreed. After all... this is the only possible outcome for the people of Qingge Hall."
Upon hearing this, Bai Chen immediately exclaimed anxiously, "But you don't have to marry him! You have better options! Wenhao is a notorious playboy, how can you be with him! If, if I could, I would also..."
Before Wen Hexuan could finish speaking, Bai Chen interrupted him, "Xiao Xuan, this world is very, very big. We all meet countless people. However, in such a vast world, there are only a few rules that are suitable for our survival, and there is only one right person for us..."
Bai Chen gave Wen Hexuan a deep look. "And you, you won't be that person..."
Wen Hexuan stared blankly at Bai Chen, not expecting Bai Chen to reject his kindness so simply and clearly.
But they had promised to be together forever!
Has he really forgotten this promise, this vow?
Wen Hexuan lowered his head, pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and said unwillingly, "Brother Bai, we...we didn't we agree on something..."
Bai Chen immediately interrupted Wen Hexuan, "Don't dwell on the past, just forget what you said before!"
Wen Hexuan raised his head in a daze, staring blankly at Bai Chen, still unable to believe what he had heard: "Brother Bai, you, you really... really did something to me..."
Bai Chen looked up at the boy he had watched grow up and shook his head. "Xiao Wen, I'm sorry. I hope you can forget what I said before from today onwards."
"But……"
But we used to be so close, how can we just forget each other like that?
Wen Hexuan didn't believe it. He couldn't believe that his brother Bai Chen could be so heartless!
Just as Wen Hexuan was about to say something, hurried footsteps came from downstairs, followed by a servant running up, urgently saying, "It's bad! Master Bai, there's someone causing trouble downstairs!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chen abruptly stood up, staring at the servant in astonishment. A fleeting look of joy crossed his face, but after glancing at Wen Hexuan, he was immediately overcome with disappointment. The mix of emotions, both joy and sorrow, brought his face to the brink of death...
In this world, what is called "crashing the party" is actually kidnapping a bride! And under the heavens, those who dare to kidnap a bride are either scions of noble families or powerful masters.
Bai Chen frowned and asked, "Did you see clearly which family the newcomer belongs to?"
The servant thought for a moment about the man's appearance downstairs, then shook his head and hurriedly said, "I can only tell that he is very handsome and refined, but he doesn't exude any obvious spiritual power. I've never seen him in the city before."
Bai Chen frowned even more deeply. "I heard that many young men from noble families have been sent to the capital for training recently. It seems they are guests who unintentionally removed the matchmaker's silk ribbon!"
