"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!"
Gongsun Zhi pointed at Li Huan and angrily berated him, no longer caring about his personal image.
Li Huan smiled slightly.
"The wedding banquet already stinks to high heaven, why would I bother to fart? Wouldn't that be redundant?"
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
Gongsun Zhi said sternly, "My first wife, Iron Palm Lotus Qiu Qianchi, passed away more than ten years ago. How could she be alive?"
Li Huan retorted: "Besides you, who else witnessed Qiu Qianchi's death?"
Gongsun Zhi was taken aback, then said, "She accidentally fell into the crocodile pool in the cellar and was swallowed alive by several crocodiles. Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Iron Palm Clan, also knows about this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Qianren stood up.
"Amitabha! My sister died a terrible death. I was heartbroken when I heard the news that day!"
Gongsun Zhi was shocked when he saw his second brother-in-law.
"Chief Qiu! You... how did you become a monk?"
Qiu Qianren said, "Fourteen years ago, this humble monk converted to Buddhism and became a disciple of Master Yideng. The Iron Palm Clan has long since disbanded."
Gongsun Zhi said, "I live deep in the Valley of Heartbreak, completely oblivious to the affairs of the martial world. I didn't even know that Chief Qiu had become a monk. Alas..."
"Don't change the subject!" Li Huan snapped. "Qiu Qianchi didn't die after falling into the crocodile pit!"
Gongsun Zhi shouted angrily, "Alliance Leader Li! You are clearly causing trouble and deliberately ruining my wedding!"
Li Huan said, "I'm not targeting you personally, but I can't bear to see Miss Long deceived by you and fall into your clutches!"
Little Dragon Girl hurriedly asked, "Alliance Leader Li, what evidence do you have that Mr. Gongsun's wife is still alive?"
Suddenly, a fair-skinned, beautiful, and elegant young woman walked by.
"Alliance Leader Li, my mother has been dead for more than ten years. Don't cause trouble here and delay my father's wedding!"
This woman was none other than Gongsun Zhi's daughter, Gongsun Lü'e.
Li Huan laughed and said, "Of course I have proof! Please lead the way, Miss Green, to the crocodile pool in the cellar and rescue Qiu Qianchi!"
Gongsun Lü'e asked in surprise, "Does Alliance Leader Li mean that my mother is still living in the crocodile pit?"
"Hahaha..." Gongsun Zhi laughed wildly.
Inside the hall, many people were also chuckling.
They all believed that no matter how high Qiu Qianchi's martial arts skills were, she would not have survived if she fell into the crocodile pond, let alone survive on her own for more than ten years!
Li Huan said, "That's right! Qiu Qianchi is in the crocodile pool; she's not dead at all!"
Gongsun Zhi's face darkened: "Li Huan! You are so young, yet you have become the leader of the martial arts alliance. It is clear that you rely entirely on your words, are good at lying, and fool the people of the martial arts world!"
Snap!
Guo Jing slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Master Gongsun! Don't slander Alliance Leader Li! He defeated the Mongols at the 'Heroes' Banquet' at Lu Family Manor in Dasheng Pass..."
"Junior brother!" Li Huan interrupted Guo Jing, "Today, I don't intend to subdue Gongsun Zhi with martial arts. I must use the truth to convince Gongsun Zhi and make him confess his crimes in public!"
"Confess?" Gongsun Zhi looked down on Li Huan. "This Valley Master never associates with people from the martial arts world, nor does he have any dealings with them. What crime have I committed?"
Little Dragon Girl said, "Alliance Leader Li, Mr. Gongsun is kind-hearted and definitely not a vicious person!"
Damn it, Xiaolongnu has been brainwashed by Gongsun Zhi and firmly believes that he is a virtuous gentleman.
Gongsun Zhi raised his head and laughed arrogantly.
"I, the Valley Master, am too lazy to argue. Alliance Leader Li, please send people to the Crocodile Pool to search!"
"If Qiu Qianchi cannot be found, Alliance Leader Li, kneel before me and kowtow to apologize!"
"Furthermore, return all three boxes of jewelry you previously collected, and then get out of the Valley of Heartbreak!"
"Okay!" Li Huan immediately agreed, "It's a deal!"
Gongsun Lü'e observed Yang Guo, then asked Gongsun Zhi, "Father, are you really letting me take him to the crocodile pond?"
Gongsun Zhi waved his hand: "Go and come back quickly!"
Gongsun Lü'e looked helpless and had no choice but to agree.
Li Huan gestured for Yang Guo to come closer and whispered a few words of advice.
Yang Guo's face showed excitement after hearing this.
He clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, I know what to do!"
Yang Guo immediately followed Gongsun Lü'e and quickly left the hall.
Gongsun Zhi announced loudly, "This Valley Master and Miss Long are deeply in love and have chosen this auspicious day to hold our wedding ceremony. We hope that all distinguished guests will refrain from further inconvenience!"
After speaking, Gongsun Zhi tugged at the red ribbon, reminding the dazed Little Dragon Girl.
Li Huan said, "What the hell are you in such a hurry? We can hold the wedding ceremony when Yang Guo and Green Girl come back!"
Gongsun Zhi's face twitched, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Leader Li, I have already agreed to let you send people to the Crocodile Pool. Don't push your luck!"
Li Huan said to Xiaolongnu, "Miss Long, if you trust me, please wait a moment and postpone the wedding ceremony. What's wrong with that?"
Little Dragon Girl gazed at Li Huan, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
“Mr. Gongsun, there must be some unresolved questions in Alliance Leader Li’s mind. Please wait a moment and let Alliance Leader Li completely dispel his doubts.”
Although Xiaolongnu's voice was soft, it intimidated Gongsun Zhi.
"Since my wife has spoken, I, the Valley Master, will concede another step and see what tricks Alliance Leader Li is up to!"
After Gongsun Zhi finished speaking, he considerately took Xiaolongnu's arm and invited her to sit down and wait.
Li Huan unscrewed the cap of the chilled cola and tilted his head back to gulp down a few mouthfuls
Huang Rong whispered, "Brother Huan, you've already gotten three chests of jewelry from Gongsun Zhi, so why are you still stopping him from marrying Miss Long?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Miss Long is too naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world. I'm afraid she'll be deceived by Gongsun Zhi!"
Huang Rong said, "Gongsun Zhi appears refined and unrestrained, but there is a sinister air hidden between his brows; he is definitely not a kind person!"
Li Huan deliberately praised, "Rong'er has rich experience in the martial arts world and is good at reading people's expressions. She is much better than Xiaolongnu!"
