“Gao Yulou, your mother is calling you for lunch!”
A clear voice with a teasing tone drowned out all of the noise of the large wedding procession. The expression of Lu Shaoyou, who got down from a horse just now and was ready to kick the door of the sedan chair, changed immediately. He looked up and saw someone standing in the corner of the street.
That slender man was covered by a dark robe and a mask that was decorated with a wacky smile. He stood in the corner of the street, looking at the festive party quietly.
“Who is that guy? Why does he stand over there? Why haven’t I noticed him until just now?”
The appearance of Junior Leopard shocked all those who had confidence in their cultivation. Even though the scene was really noisy, those who had special tasks all received more than one warning in advance that some people may cause trouble here. Therefore they had maintained their vigilance the whole time. But this man appeared in the corner without being detected. How impressive his hiding technique was!
Junior Leopard was provoking Gao Yulou, but the latter was not impulsive. He held the sword, staring at Junior Leopard firmly. His treacherous expression made Junior Leopard uncomfortable. “Only a competition in Qi Power, I don’t care!” Junior Leopard thought.
“Who are you and what’s your aim?”
As Junior Leopard was about to release his Qi Power to confront with Gao Yulou, a woman came out from the crowd. She was a little fat, wearing red clothes and holding a red feather fan. She must been have made up with lots of cosmetics, which fell down with her each movement. That was the woman matchmaker of the Lu Mansion.
The one who should come forward to take the charge in such circumstances should be a woman matchmaker. Though the Lu Mansion knew it was a bit strange to do so, they were not willing to break the rules. What was more, that woman matchmaker was not weak, she was a famous woman in Jianghu, too.
Otherwise, she couldn’t have the qualification to be their woman matchmaker.
Junior Leopard also knew it. Wang She had told him all these things in advance. But he knew that woman wouldn’t be a hindrance to his task, because he was not here for Lu Shaoyou.
“Who are you? Why are you standing in my way?”
“My name is Wu Shangying, a woman matchmaker of the Lu Mansion and the Ma Mansion. Today is a good day for these two families, if you’re here for a wedding feast, we appreciate it. But if you’re here for trouble-making, then you must pay for it.” said Wu Shangying, trying to smile with her powdered face. At the same time, a strong Qi Power was emitted from her. The imposing manner, together with her fat body, was truly a bit threatening. But Junior Leopard was not nobody. He knitted his brows slightly in the face of such power and that Qi Power just disappeared 10 feet away from his body.
“It’s none of your business, nor the Ma Mansion’s or the Lu Mansion’s, so you shouldn’t threaten me with those two families. I’m just here for Gao Yulou. Gao Yulou, your mother asked you to go back and eat lunch. Don’t you understand?”
Gao Yulou was extremely annoyed. He made a cold snort and walked one step forward with his sword. Lu Shaoyou also sent forth a strong sense of sword’s will with a gloomy face. It seemed that he wanted to teach Junior Leopard a lesson prior to Gao Yulou.
“Wait, wait, wait! Today is a good day. You’re the bridegroom, you can’t fight casually.” seeing Lu Shaoyou was about to fight, Wu Shangying rushed to prevent him. At the same time, she got in the way of Gao Yulou.
“Since you’re coming for Gao Yulou, I shouldn’t have held you back. But Gao Yulou is our vital guest today. If you have any grudge with him, could you please put it off and handle it another day, just for the sake of the Lu Mansion.”
“But why?” Junior Leopard sneered, “Handle it another day? How ridiculous. Should he be the bridegroom and have to enter the bridal chamber? Is there any difference in handling it today or another day? As to the Lu Mansion, why should I respect you?”
“How dare you?”
Even Wu Shangying who was trying to patch up the quarrel became a little angry now. She was keeping a low profile only to avoid troubles. If it was not today, she definitely would fight with Junior Leopard immediately. How could Junior Leopard be so annoying?!
However, she kept her temper once again. She realized that Junior Leopard was here to make trouble. It was very possible that he was here to disturb the wedding. As to the reason why he came for Gao Yulou but not Lu Shaoyou, it was obvious. There was no one with a higher cultivation or more threatening than Gao Yulou in the team which was conveying the wedding. The mysterious man in front of her must aim at drawing Gao Yulou away, so it was imaginable that more trouble would appear if Gao Yulou was drawn away.
Thinking of this, Wu Shangying felt much more whiny. People who have the confidence to make trouble in the marriage between the Lu Mansion and the Ma Mansion must have huge backgrounds.
How dare one be so risky if he had no strength?
“If you stick to playing with fire, I’ll help you!” Lu Shaoyou couldn’t bear it any more. Anyhow, today was his wedding. Though he had no enthusiasm for this political marriage, he couldn’t endure such a huge shame. It was unbearable for anyone to stand this disgrace, let alone a Level Eight expert.
“You?” Junior Leopard was a bit hesitant when seeing Lu Shaoyou put himself forward, “But I’m not here for you, I want Gao Yulou.”
“You want Senior Gao but I want you! If you want to fight with Senior Gao, you must fight with me first.” Lu Shaoyou said, gloomily. His tone made people feel scared.
“No.” Junior Leopard nodded his head and said, “I’d like to kill you and then kill Gao Yulou. But you’re the son-in-law of Governor Ma now, I can’t take the risk of offending the Ma Mansion. Of course, you may break off the engagement with Governor Ma, since you’re so intent on giving Gao Yulou a hand. How about that?”
“Shut up!” Lu Shaoyou changed his face sharply. How he wished he could beat Junior Leopard to death. How dare he speak those words out! Junior Leopard really pushed it too far.
If this could be tolerated, what could not?
“Junior fellow, just let me handle him now since he’s determined to be killed by me. You’d better come in quickly. Don’t miss the auspicious timing.”
Gao Yulou, who stood behind Lu Shaoyou, smiled after he felt great anger. He walked pass Lu Shaoyou and stood in front of Junior Leopard.
“So, guy, let’s discuss your death now.”
“Hah, even if I’ll die, I’d like die in another place. This area is surrounded by so many people and someone will get married here. It’ll be so unlucky if it’s tainted with blood.”
“All right!” Though Gao Yulou knew Junior Leopard was aiming to draw him away, he agreed with pride. He detected the fact that this guy had high cultivation. But he was only on Level Six. A Level Six cultivation was nothing for a Level Seven expert. Gao Yulou was confident that he would win no matter where.
“It seems that he’s only a scrap. To draw me away, a Level Six cultivation is really not worth mentioning. But he dares to provoke me, he must be confident in his hiding and escaping techniques. Well, it’s so naive of him to have such confidence. He won’t be able to get out of my control! Even if someone will cause trouble here, he won’t succeed in a few minutes. It won’t be late if I go back after killing him and working off my anger. Hah hah.”
