In the study, Feng Ke got straight to the point and said, "Young Master Ye, I heard that you've severed ties with Zhao Tian Sect?"
Ye Xuezhang frowned slightly, thinking to himself, So they've come for this matter.
"That's correct."
"Alright, then I'll be frank. From now on, the Seven Killers Gang will back the Ye family."
"The Seven Killers Gang is fairly reputable in Cangxi. With us protecting the Ye family, those petty troublemakers in the martial world wouldn't dare to disturb you."
Ye Xuezhang chuckled, "And what does the Ye family have to offer in return?"
"Eight thousand taels of silver annually!"
Ha, what a big appetite!
At this moment, Ye Xuezhang already harbored a killing intent toward Feng Ke! However, today was his wedding day, and not wanting to expose his cultivation, he decided to endure for the time being. Once today was over, he would wipe out the Seven Killers Gang. As long as he eliminated everyone who knew his secret, he wouldn't have to worry about the system's reaction.
"This is no small matter. I need to consider it. How about I give you an answer in three days?"
"Three days?"
"Fine, but Young Master Ye, you'd better think carefully. The Seven Killers Gang is not like Zhao Tian Sect. There are things Zhao Tian Sect wouldn't dare to do for the sake of their reputation, but we have no such scruples!"
After issuing a few threats, Feng Ke left the Ye residence with his men.
Once they were gone, Ye Xuezhang went to entertain his guests, staying busy until late into the night when the guests gradually departed.
"Young Master Ye, if there's any trouble, the Weiyuan Escort Agency is here to help," said Chen Shaoheng of the Weiyuan Escort Agency as he prepared to leave.
The Ye family had collaborated with the escort agency many times over the years, forging a close relationship.
"Thank you, but it's fine. I can handle it."
Chen Shaoheng responded with an "Oh," said no more, cupped his hands in farewell, and left the Ye residence.
After seeing off the guests, Ye Xuezhang made his way toward his bridal chamber.
Today was his wedding day, and his bride was waiting for him in the room for the veil-lifting ceremony. Everything else had to wait.
The Ye residence was vast, featuring a front courtyard, a middle courtyard, a backyard, gardens, corridors, fish ponds, a rear garden, the Eastern Pavilion, the Western Tower, the Southern Courtyard, and various side rooms.
The bridal chamber was set up in the Eastern Pavilion.
The bridal chamber was decorated in festive red, radiating a jubilant atmosphere.
Several red candles illuminated the room with brilliant light, making it bright as day.
The bride sat gracefully on the bed, while the Old Witch stood by cautiously.
"Cult Leader, if you're hungry, shall I fetch some pastries for you?"
"What did you just call me?" A cold voice came from under the red veil.
The Old Witch's heart trembled, and she quickly corrected herself, "Miss."
"Be careful. If my husband notices anything unusual, you know the consequences."
"Yes, I wouldn't dare."
Just then, footsteps approached, and the Old Witch immediately shifted from her servile demeanor to a kindly smile.
The door opened, and Ye Xuezhang stepped inside.
The Old Witch bowed, "My lord."
Ye Xuezhang nodded silently.
Now that the groom had arrived, there was no need for her presence. Understanding this, the Old Witch tactfully left the room.
Looking at the bride before him, Ye Xuezhang felt a moment of distraction.
Although he had mentally prepared himself, getting married so soon still left him with a complicated feeling.
From start to finish, he and Qi Yixuan had only met once.
"My husband, it's time to lift the bridal veil."
Her gentle and melodious voice was as captivating as the song of an oriole.
Snapping back to his senses, Ye Xuezhang picked up the white jade scale rod by the bedside and lifted the red veil from his bride's head.
As the veil fell, Qi Yixuan's peerless beauty was revealed, even more enchanting under the candlelight, making her all the more mesmerizing.
At this moment, Qi Yixuan's face bore a trace of shyness. Her fair, jade-like complexion was tinged with a faint blush.
Her eyes glimmered with affection as she gazed at her husband. Ye Xuezhang, too, stared intently at his new wife.
She's simply stunning!
Over the years, Ye Xuezhang had traveled far and wide and considered himself worldly, yet he had never seen a woman who could match even a tenth of her beauty.
"My husband, shall we drink the nuptial wine now?" Qi Yixuan asked softly after a brief silence.
Outside the bridal chamber, faint whispers could be heard.
"Chun Mei, why is it so quiet inside?"
"Sister Xiaoyu, isn't marriage just about sleeping together? What kind of noise are you expecting?"
Sigh, "You little kid, you know nothing!"
