The servant was immediately terrified upon hearing this. "What, what should we do? We've ruined the literary master's place!"
Bai Chen squinted, deep in thought, his eyes flashing with wisdom as he looked up:
"Regardless of who they are, we should at least go down and greet them."
Having said that, he led the servant and Wen Hexuan downstairs—
Gu Liyan stood downstairs with a blank expression, holding a red silk ribbon in her hand, surrounded by a group of menacing-looking people.
Mo Chen chuckled smugly in the contract space, "I told you not to touch anything. What if someone tries to take something valuable and then tries to frame you? They could sell you and still not pay for it! Look at you, look at you, so many people are watching you now!"
Gu Liyan curled her lips: "What kind of treasure is a red silk ribbon? I just thought that the position of this ribbon at the door was unlucky and blocked my love and life luck, so I took it down! Who knew that as soon as I took it down, I was pushed in by the passers-by who were watching the show outside, and then surrounded by a bunch of fierce-looking guys inside!"
Little did Gu Liyan, a newcomer, know that in this world, every unmarried man and woman who is about to get married hangs a red silk ribbon in front of their door on their wedding day. This red silk ribbon is called the "matchmaker's ribbon".
Anyone who removes the matchmaker's silk ribbon is dissatisfied with the marriage.
If you fall in love with the newlyweds wearing red silk, you will receive the blessings of the world when you tie the red silk together. However, before that, you must defeat the original newlyweds and obtain their blessing before you can successfully take your beloved away.
Gu Liyan was naturally unaware of the rules of this world. She had inexplicably removed the matchmaker's silk ribbon, not understanding its meaning. Looking around blankly, she spoke nervously:
"Gentlemen, I... I mean no harm. I just came to ask for a drink. Please, have mercy and let me leave."
"Hmph, you came here to cause trouble for the Wen family, and you think you can just leave? Not so easy!" The guards that the Wen family had left there to watch over the red silk jumped out.
They never expected that there would be someone in this city who would dare to oppose the Wen family. Even the Wu family would probably have to think twice before acting against them!
Gu Liyan's display of cowardice, coupled with the guards' unwavering resolve, immediately drew shouts from the surrounding crowd:
"Yes! Don't leave!"
"We absolutely cannot let him leave!"
Gu Liyan looked at everyone blankly, utterly helpless. "I truly had no intention of causing trouble, nor do I wish to offend the Wen family. Could you please allow me to leave—"
"Hmph, you want to leave? You'll have to wait until Young Master Wen arrives, then you can fight him before you go!" The captain of the guards refused to back down at all.
Gu Liyan's lips twitched involuntarily, and a sense of panic welled up inside him. "What did I do unintentionally? It feels like I've stirred up a hornet's nest!"
He just looked at the red string hanging by the door and felt a little awkward, so he took it down, didn't he?
How did this become someone who disrupts the event?
Just then, a pleasant voice came from the second floor:
"Who's causing trouble?"
Gu Liyan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome man with an otherworldly air descending from the second floor. Behind him was a scholarly-looking young man, and behind them was an ordinary-looking servant.
Upon seeing Bai Chen descend, everyone respectfully greeted him:
"Boss Bai!"
"It's Boss Bai!"
"Greetings, Boss Bai!"
Bai Chen walked to the center of the second floor and noticed Gu Liyan holding a red silk ribbon in her hand.
When they arrived downstairs, they walked up to Gu Liyan, looked him over, and couldn't help but stare at him with a surprised expression.
Her stunningly beautiful features made even a man as beautiful as him feel inferior. What was even more surprising was that she exuded a noble aura comparable to his own, and her seamless elegance made him lower his head in shame.
When Bai Chen was looking at Gu Liyan, Gu Liyan was also looking at Bai Chen. He was also slightly taken aback. The Bai Chen that Huahun Tong saw was radiating a holy and otherworldly aura.
"This person is born with good fortune; he is a gift from heaven." Gu Liyan couldn't help but look at Bai Chen with surprise and joy, her heart filled with cheers.
Just then, the captain of the guards spoke again:
"Boss Bai, you're one of Wenhao Gongzi's men, and this guy actually dares to come and cause trouble. What do you say—"
Bai Chen squinted at Gu Liyan and spoke gently, "Young master, it seems that I am a complete stranger to you. Why did you bring this matchmaker's silk to disrupt the wedding and ruin Young Master Wen's event?"
Gu Liyan was stunned, and exclaimed in surprise as she held up the silk in her hand, "Ah? This, this thing is proof of the wedding abduction?!"
Gu Liyan was so startled she almost dropped the silk she was holding. "I... I really didn't know! I didn't mean to take it down! I just thought it was unlucky to have it hanging on the rafters, so I took it down. I really didn't know..."
Seeing Gu Liyan's flustered appearance, Bai Chen couldn't help but chuckle, "Young Master is really interesting. It's as if the whole world doesn't know about the incident of disrupting the event and the matchmaker's silk."
Gu Liyan immediately broke out in a cold sweat, stammering, "I, I just..."
Bai Chen squinted at Gu Liyan and chuckled, "Hehe, so you don't know who I am, young master?"
Gu Liyan awkwardly asked, "You, aren't you Boss Bai?"
Bai Chen paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Yes, I am Boss Bai..."
Seeing Gu Liyan's expression, Bai Chen squinted and smiled, "Since you and I are both in the mortal world but unwilling to be tainted by it, and we are so destined to meet today, then..."
Gu Liyan stared at Bai Chen in astonishment. Bai Chen removed the red silk ribbon from his head, revealing a head of flowing black hair that contrasted sharply with Gu Liyan's silver hair. The two equally beautiful figures stood side by side, captivating all who beheld them!
