Chapter 164 Banquet
Hearing the sudden voice behind him, Xiao Chen was slightly startled. How could someone walk behind him without him noticing?
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man in a red robe. The man had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes seemed to hide two cold blades, which made people feel a chill at a glance.
There was no one else who could hide his own aura so deeply except the owner of Danfeng Manor, Bie Lifeng.
Xiao Chen immediately reacted and bowed his hands and smiled, "I am new to your manor. I came out for a walk at night, but I didn't expect to get lost. I apologize for disturbing the owner of the manor late at night." ✾✫✶
Bie Lifeng smiled and said, "It's okay. In this case, why don't I take you back?"
Although he said so, he was thinking at the moment, there were many disciples patrolling in the manor, how could this person come here quietly? However, tomorrow is his big day, and he doesn't want to ruin the atmosphere tonight, or cause trouble.
Xiao Chen could naturally guess what he was thinking at the moment, and smiled and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, the owner..."
Along the way, Bie Lifeng was very talkative, but Xiao Chen was not very familiar with the Xianbei Ancient Realm, and he almost exposed himself several times.
Suddenly, Bie Lifeng looked at him and asked, "I see that you have an extraordinary aura. I wonder who your master is?"
Xiao Chen had already thought of the words in his mind, and smiled and said, "I am a disciple of Xuanyun Sect, my surname is Gu and my name is Bai."
"So it's Gu Bai..."
Bie Lifeng nodded slightly, and said, "I met Master Ziyang a few years ago. I didn't expect that in just a few years, Master would have another outstanding disciple like Gu."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Master, the head of the sect, has not accepted disciples for many years. I am a disciple of Elder Qingfeng."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Bie Lifeng patted his forehead and said with a smile, "Look at my memory, I forgot that Master Ziyang no longer accepts disciples."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Yufeng is far superior to me, but I don't have the blessing to become the closed disciple of the head master."
As he spoke, he secretly broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, before he intercepted the two people from Xuanyun Sect today, he followed them all the way and figured out some things about Xuanyun Sect. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the flaws would have been exposed at this time.
After returning to his residence, Xiao Chen didn't dare to go out rashly again. Everything could only be planned at the banquet tomorrow.
That night, he didn't want to sleep. When it was dawn, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers from the village. He thought that Bie Lifeng was strange. It was just a birthday banquet, but he had to make it so grand. At what time did he start beating gongs and drums?
He simply left the house and walked towards the manor. When he arrived, he saw gongs and drums beating in the manor, lanterns and decorations everywhere, red flowers hanging high, and petals covering the ground. It was much more festive than when he came yesterday evening.
Xiao Chen felt a little strange, and found a young man who was visiting and asked in a low voice, "My dear brother, this... is the birthday of the manor owner so grand every year?"
The man smiled and said, "It was not so festive last sixty years. This time the manor owner must have come up with something special..."
Last sixty years...
Xiao Chen wondered how many years this Bie Li Feng had lived, but he didn't look old. After waiting for a while, the gongs and drums became louder and louder, which made him upset. He simply went to the table next to him to drink by himself, but at this time, he suddenly found that the people from the Ye family were there last time.
Why are the people from the Ye family here?
Xiao Chen quickly turned his head to the side. Last time he robbed Ye Shisan's Tianji card, the matter was not over yet. At the beginning, he didn't know how powerful the Ye family was. Now he knew a little bit. However, he changed his clothes. There were so many people here today, so it was not easy for the other party to find him.
It was not until noon that Bie Lifeng came out from inside wearing a bright red wedding gown. Seeing him come out, the guests at the table were jubilant, but Xiao Chen was so stunned that he didn't even notice that the wine in the glass was full.
"This time, we really want to congratulate the owner of the Bie Manor! Haha!"
"Congratulations!"
"So that's it... Congratulations to the owner of the Bie Manor, congratulations!"
Many people stood up from their seats and bowed to Bie Lifeng on the stage to congratulate him. The sound gradually overwhelmed the joyous gongs and drums at the moment. Only Xiao Chen's lonely figure was still sitting on the chair.
On the stage, in addition to Bie Lifeng, who was wearing a bright red wedding gown, there was also a woman in a rosy dress. However, the woman had a red veil on her head, so her appearance could not be seen. She was carefully supported by two maids beside her.
What was going on...
Xiao Chen was completely stunned. Wasn't today Bie Lifeng's birthday party? Why was it his wedding day? That woman... who was she? Wei Yang... no!
He wanted to use his spiritual sense to explore the past, but as soon as his spiritual sense explored the past, it was immediately blocked by a mysterious force, followed by two cold eyes from Bie Lifeng.
Oops...
Xiao Chen thought to himself that it was not good. This Bie Lifeng had lived for hundreds of years and his Taoism was far superior to his own. His spiritual sense was detected by him, but that woman... her height and body shape were almost the same as Wei Yang. Could it be, no, it was impossible.
His heart was pounding, and until the voices in the crowd gradually died down, Xiao Chen slowly calmed down and stared at the stage intently.
Bie Lifeng took a step forward and said with a loud laugh, "Please don't blame me for not informing you in advance, please don't blame me..."
"Haha!" A white-bearded old man in the audience laughed, "Now, the owner of the manor is not going to tell us? Who is this girl?"
"Haha! The owner of the manor, please tell us, who is this girl?" Many people in the audience immediately followed and laughed.
Bie Lifeng smiled, looked at the woman behind him, and his voice became much gentler, "Yanran, come up."
Yanran...
Xiao Chen was stunned again. What Yanran? There were rumors outside that this girl didn't remember anything, not even her name, so where was Yanran? No, her name is not Yanran...
The woman, supported by two maids, walked up slowly, like a willow supported by the weak wind. Bie Lifeng smiled and said, "Yanran and I met two years ago. At that time, I came back from the desert and saw Yanran fainted in the desert... I fell in love with Yanran at first sight. I thought that I would be alone in this life, but I never thought that God would let me meet a beautiful woman and let Yanran appear beside me..."
Xiao Chen did not listen to what he said next. At this moment, the two words "Weiyang" appeared repeatedly in his mind, not "Yanran".
After waiting for a long time, Bie Lifeng turned to the woman and said gently, "Yanran, are you... willing to be my wife?"
The audience was quiet at once, and everyone stared at the stage without saying a word. Although the woman was covered with a red veil at this moment, it seemed that she still couldn't hide the shyness on her face. After a long moment, she nodded gently.
"Good! Good!"
The audience immediately cheered, "Master Bie and Miss Yanran are a match made in heaven, good! Good!"
"Wait a minute!"
However, at this moment, a voice that was out of tune with the surroundings was heard. Xiao Chen stood up. At this moment, everyone looked at him, thinking that this man was too rude and didn't know any rules.
Bie Lifeng immediately looked at him, still with a smile on his face, "I wonder if you have anything to say, little friend Gu?"
Xiao Chen said, "The owner just said that he met Miss Yanran two years ago. Does the owner know where Miss Yanran lives and whether her parents are still alive?"
"This..."
Hearing this, many people around looked at each other in surprise. Today is Bie Lifeng's big day. It's a bit too much of a spoiler for him to say such a thing, but thinking about it carefully...it seems that this question is not wrong?
Bie Lifeng still had a smile on his face, and looked at the people below the stage, and said with a smile, "Yanran was seriously injured at that time, and she didn't remember anything after waking up, but Bie promised that no matter what method he used, he would definitely let Yanran recover her memory, and then accompany her home to meet her parents."
Hearing this, everyone around was relieved, which was not wrong. Bie Lifeng looked at the woman again, and said affectionately, "Yanran, will you marry me?"
This time, the woman still nodded shyly without saying a word. Just when everyone was about to congratulate, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand again, "Wait!"
"What's wrong with little friend Gu?"
This time, the smile on Bie Lifeng's face finally disappeared, and his eyebrows wrinkled, seeming to be a little impatient, and the people around him also looked at Xiao Chen without saying a word.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. The owner and Miss Yanran are a perfect match. How can such a beautiful couple be so careless?"
Hearing what he said, the guests seemed to think it made sense, but this kid, why does it seem like he is deliberately trying to make things difficult for Bie Lifeng today?
Sure enough, Bie Lifeng was displeased, "I said that when Yanran's memory recovers in the future, I will go home with her to meet my parents. Besides, Yanran is willing to become Bie's wife today, not because Bie forced her. I don't know why little friend Gu has so many questions?"
"My friend, don't make a fuss anymore. Today is the owner's big day. Sit down quickly and don't talk anymore."
The people around him also began to persuade him.
Bie Lifeng stopped looking at him and winked at the MC, who immediately came up and said with a loud laugh, "The auspicious time has come..."
"It looks like a flower but it's not a flower, and no one cares to let it fall. Thinking about it, it's heartless but thoughtful... I wonder if you still remember, girl?"
Without waiting for the MC to finish, Xiao Chen suddenly said another sentence, and this time, the surroundings fell into a dead silence, and Bie Lifeng's face seemed to be gradually covered with a layer of frost, and the MC was stunned.
Xiao Chen frowned and walked forward, while walking, he slowly said, "Most flowers of plants and trees in the world have five petals, but snowflakes have six petals, so snowflakes have another beautiful name, called Weiyang flower..."
This time, the woman on the stage finally trembled slightly, and then looked at Xiao Chen. Although she was covered with a red veil, at this moment, Xiao Chen had already determined that she was Weiyang, otherwise she would not have any reaction to hearing this sentence!
"Gu Xiaoyou, what do you mean..."
Bie Lifeng's face was already very cold. Xiao Chen looked at him and said, "Today, the owner of the manor may not be able to get married."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around him. Bie Lifeng's face was as cold as ice. "What did you say?"
"I said, she is not your Yanran."
After Xiao Chen said that, he didn't care about so much. He immediately started the Lingxian Step, flew onto the stage, and stretched out his hand to remove the red veil on the woman's head. This was too fast and too sudden. No one could see clearly, and no one reacted.
"Not yet..."
However, before Xiao Chen could utter the word "Yang", he froze in his tracks and could not utter another word.
