"Yes, that's why I came here."
Lin Bufan's attitude became serious. "Those two girls, one is called Little Dragon Girl, and the other is called Li Mochou, right?"
Gongsun Lü'e exclaimed in surprise, "So Li Mochou is your friend. She is indeed one of the brides. However, the other girl is not called Xiaolongnu. Her surname is Liu, and we call her Miss Liu."
"It's her, Miss Liu is Little Dragon Girl."
Lin Bufan was absolutely certain.
Just like in the original novel, Xiaolongnu separated "Yang Liu Yi Yi" because of Yang Guo.
Since Yang Guo's surname is Yang, she will take the surname Liu, meaning she will be his companion.
"Miss Lü'e, could you take me to see those two young ladies?" Lin Bufan asked.
Gongsun Lü'e bit her lip, her face showing reluctance, and turned her back to Lin Bufan.
“Young Master Lin, please forgive me for being unable to do so. I will not be able to see the two brides before nightfall.”
"Oh? Why?" Lin Bufan asked, puzzled.
Gongsun Lü'e explained, "Father forbids it because several guests have come today. They are from outside the valley, just like the young master. To avoid any complications, Father has hidden the bride, and even I am on guard."
"Your father is indeed very cautious." Lin Bufan's expression darkened slightly.
Seeing his unhappy expression, Gongsun Lü'e quickly comforted him, "However, the bride will appear at the wedding, and you will be able to see them."
"May I attend your father's wedding banquet as a guest?"
"Of course you can. Few people come to the Valley of Heartbreak, and my father would also welcome you as guests."
Gongsun Lü'e led the way, taking Lin Bufan to the reception hall.
The wedding banquet will be held in the lobby tonight.
Lin Bufan walked in and saw several familiar faces—Golden Wheel Monk, Huo Du, and Darba.
There are also several masters at the Grandmaster level, including the four great masters of Mongolia under Kublai Khan: Yin Kexi, Xiao Xiangzi, Nimo Xing, and Ma Guangzuo.
Oh, so the guests Gongsun Lü'e was referring to were them.
Lin Bufan recalled the original plot of The Return of the Condor Heroes: when Xiaolongnu was about to marry Gongsun Zhi, Jinlun Fawang and his gang did indeed mistakenly enter the Valley of Heartbreak.
They came in pursuit of Zhou Botong, and Yang Guo, having allied with Jinlun Fawang and joined forces with him, should also have been present.
However, with Yang Guo absent, the plot has undergone a slight change.
Yang Guo had already severed his arm beforehand, presumably to find the condor.
So where is Zhou Botong? Is he stealing treasures from the Valley of Heartbreak?
Lin Bufan did not see him.
When Huo Du and Darba saw Lin Bufan, they were almost scared to death, and they remembered the scene at the Heroes' Gathering where Lin Bufan defeated them with a single Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms.
"Master, he...he...he's come after us." Huo Du's mouth trembled.
The Golden Wheel Monk glared angrily at Lin Bufan, his face turning ashen as he recalled the past with lingering fear.
This kid, I don't know where he stole his Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill from, and he learned it so well that it still hurts him to this day.
The three were filled with negative emotions, and a large number of golden fragments fell from their bodies and flew towards Lin Bufan.
Unfortunately, there are no benefits; it's all just accumulating emotional points.
"Golden Wheel Dharma King, it's been a long time," Lin Bufan greeted him earnestly.
The Golden Wheel Monk's lips twitched a few times, his resentment soaring: "Lin Bufan, you've gone too far! Didn't this humble monk agree to fight you again in sixteen years? Why are you so relentless, tracking this humble monk all the way here?"
"You're overthinking it. I don't have time to track you down."
As Lin Bufan spoke, he found a good spot to sit down, and was about to sit opposite the Golden Wheel Monk.
The Golden Wheel Monk angrily asked, "Could it be that the Old Urchin Zhou Botong also stole a piece of your fat and big mutton, and you came here to track him down?"
"No, I'm here to find someone, to find the bride of the Valley Master of Heartbreak."
Looking for a bride?
Nemo Xing, Yin Kexi, and the others looked at each other, then burst into laughter at Lin Bufan.
"Young hero, the Valley Master is getting married, and you're trying to steal him away? That's not very kind of you."
"Exactly, exactly. They treated you like a guest, yet you coveted their bride. You're incredibly audacious."
"A lecherous man."
The last person to speak was Ma Guangzuo, a master from the Western Regions, a short man, who called Lin Bufan a lecherous scoundrel.
Lin Bufan, his temper flaring up, didn't care about anything else and unleashed his One-Finger Divine Skill.
With a loud bang, the teacup in Ma Guangzuo's hand shattered, and tea splashed all over him.
Ma Guangzuo was furious. As a grandmaster and one of the four great warriors appointed by the Great Khan of the Mongols, how could he allow himself to be bullied?
"You're asking for it, kid."
He swung a spiked club, jumped onto the table, and flew towards Lin Bufan.
He wanted to kill Lin Bufan in one fell swoop.
Coincidentally, Lin Bufan had the same idea and, without saying a word, unleashed a Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.
It felt quite good to kill someone in front of the Golden Wheel Dharma King using the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.
The dragon-elephant phantom slammed violently into Ma Guangzuo's chest, producing a dull thud.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Guangzuo's body flew backward at lightning speed and slammed into the wall with a thud.
He coughed up blood, his head drooped, and he died before he could even say his last words.
"He killed Ma Guangzuo."
Yin Kexi, Nemo Xing, and Xiao Xiangzi were on high alert and all brandished their weapons, ready to attack Lin Bufan together.
At this moment, Fan Yiweng, the steward of the Valley of Heartbreak and also Gongsun Zhi's eldest disciple, finally appeared and shouted, "Stop! Are you all going to fight and cause trouble?"
Yin Kexi said angrily, "He killed one of our companions and tried to steal your valley master's bride. Do you think he deserved to be killed?"
Fan Yiweng was shocked upon hearing this. He glanced at the corpse embedded in the wall and was immediately enraged, accusing Lin Bufan: "Young hero, you've gone too far! The Valley of Heartbreak..."
