The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 69 - The Crisis at Wedding Ceremony (1)

Chapter 69 The Crisis at Wedding Ceremony (1)

The wedding ceremony was held in the only seven-star hotel in Yunyan City—Yunxiao Hotel.

The name of the hotel might sound vulgar, but it had a huge background. It belonged to the Yun Family.

It was said among the folk in Yunyan City that the city was named after the Yun Family.

However, it could not be true. As the old saying went, a wise man would not believe in rumours. Thus, the rumour was only a topic at wine table.

Those who stood at the top of the power all knew it was a rumor. Nevertheless, the rumor made the Yun Family famous.

The Yun Family knew very well that a great tree might inspire the wind and that they should keep a low profile. However, no matter how powerful they were, they could not stop others from gossiping about them.

Therefore, the rumor became more and more ridiculous. In the end, the rumor became “the Yun Family owned the whole Yunyan City”. As a result, each action of the Yun Family would attract the attention from many people.

It was true of the wedding ceremony between the Yun Family and the Hua Family that would be held today.

The ceremony would begin at one o’clock in the afternoon.

All the big shots in Yunyan City were gathered in Yunxiao Hotel.

“The wedding cars arrived!”

Someone shouted.

On hearing the voices, the big shots, as well as the citizens in the city, all looked at the cars that were approaching in a formidable array.

The leading car, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, stopped.

Yun Nanfeng got off the car. Tall and straight, he had a handsome face and a perfect background; he was exactly the perfect Mr. Right that many women had dreamed about.

His appearance made the girls from both rich and ordinary families scream excitedly for him.

Yun Nanfeng behaved perfectly. After getting out of the car, he went to the rear door and opened the door for Hua Qingwu gently, which made the women present even more fascinated by him.

Hua Qingwu’s appearance caused a stir among the crowd. At the moment, everyone was stunned and at a loss for words after seeing her.

A fairy descending to the mortal world from the ninth heaven, that’s what they could describe her.

In front of Yunxiao Hotel, fireworks that would sound 100,000 times flared and did not stop until half an hour later. The smoke caused by the fireworks rose up to the sky like a mushroom cloud.

The bright red carpet covered the road over a hundred meters away.

Hua Qingwu and Yun Nanfeng stepped onto the red carpet arm in arm.

The beautiful woman and the handsome man formed the most beautiful scene of the day.

“You seemed very nervous.”

Yun Nanfeng moved his arm minutely because Hua Qingwu almost cracked it. He was curious why she, a weak girl, had such great strength.

Hua Qingwu tried hard to relax, and she whispered in a low voice as well, “Thank you!”

With a gentle smile on his face, Yun Nanfeng nodded at the guests around as a greeting while whispering to her, “Never mind. We are just taking what we need.”

Hua Qingwu chuckled and stopped talking, trying her best to be a good bride though it was just temporary.

No one noticed that a beautiful seven-colored bracelet shone brightly under the sun on her wrist.

After walking through a corridor, they came to an open grassland.

The grassland behind Yunxiao Hotel covered an area of more than one thousand square meters.

The wedding ceremony would be held on this grassland. The red carpet, white dresses, and the gather of the distinguished guests all showed that it was a luxurious ceremony in a low key.

Though the master of the ceremony was a top master in the country, he was as wordy as other masters.

“Dear guests, friends, and relatives, welcome you to attend this ceremony in such a sunny, joyous day...”

The master tried his best to liven up the atmosphere.

“Mr. Yun Nanfeng, do you want to marry the beautiful and elegant lady beside you, no matter she is rich or poor...”

Those rich youngsters could not help but cheer upon hearing the words.

Yun Nanfeng took the microphone in the master’s hands, looked around, and said loudly with a gentle expression, “No, I don’t!”

All the people present were shocked by the words.

The master of the ceremony broke out in a cold sweat. He thought he heard it wrong. As his duty was to liven up the atmosphere, he immediately said with an embarrassed smile, “Take it easy, everyone. Mr. Yun must be joking with us.”

“Oh...”

Those who were present suddenly realized it was a joke.

Yun Nanfeng looked at the crowd with a smile, looking gentle and elegant. He raised the microphone and said loudly, “I’m not joking, and you didn’t hear me wrong. Let me say it again, I don’t want to marry her.”

Yun Nanfeng spoke out “I don’t want to marry her” word by word and in an accented tone.

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Hua Qingwu, saying, “Miss Hua, are you willing to marry me?”

Hua Qingwu suddenly laughed brightly like a blooming flower. She replied word by word like Yun Nanfeng did, “Of course, I’m not. I don’t want to be forced to marry anyone.”

After three seconds of silence, discussions broke out in the place.

The smiles on the faces of the Yuns and the Huas froze.

“Yun Nanfeng, are you clear about what you’re doing now?” Yun Baishan, the head of the Yun Family, suddenly stood up, pounded on the table, and asked angrily.

Yun Nanfeng looked at him with a weird expression, saying, “Since you were questioning Yun Nanfeng, I’ll let him answer the question.”

Yun Nanfeng took out a small remote control, and the huge screen behind him lit up.

What was supposed to be played on the screen was something about the wedding, but at the moment, it was something nasty.

On the screen was a dark room.

Just as everyone present felt confused, the door of the room was opened, letting in some light.

When the light fell on the dark figure in the room, all the guests yelled out in surprise.

Everyone saw clearly that it was a naked man with dark skin in the room. The man was extremely skinny, like a skeleton covered by human skin. Seeing him, the guests all felt chilling, and their hair stood on end.

At the moment, among the guests, a lovely round-faced girl with big eyes, who looked like the movie star Zhao Liying, could not help but scream shrilly. With a pale face, she trembled violently.

There was a handsome man, a beautiful woman, and an old man sitting beside the girl. The old man had a grey beard and grey hair and was full of spirit and energy.

“Tangtang!” The old man looked worried. He hugged the girl in his arms tightly, patted her back, and comforted her. “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I’m here with you...”

The handsome man and the beautiful woman exchanged a glance and hurriedly comforted the girl as well.

The young girl gradually calmed down, but she still trembled violently. She said in a stuttering voice, “It’s... it’s that thing who caught me and took me away...”

“What?” The old man’s eyes bulged like copper bells, and a threatening aura rose up from his body.

The man and the woman instantly looked grave as well.

The guests around the old man stepped backward subconsciously.

They could not afford to provoke the old man. The old man was from the Su Family and had a tacky name, Su Laohu. Nevertheless, he was a legendary figure. Even a three-year-old child in Yunyan City could tell two or three exploits about the old man.

The old man was once a general and had joined the Vietnam War. Having taken part in countless wars, small or big, he was addressed as “Soul of Army” by the president of the country. Though he was in half-retirement, even the powerful Yun Family dared not provoke the old man for he had made a lot of achievements and his students were all over the world.

“Old Dog Yun, if you can’t explain this to me, I’ll perish your family at all costs.”

The old man kicked the chair into pieces, and his roaring voice sounded loudly in the place. Su Tang was the old man’s only granddaughter and was always well-behaved, so the old man doted on her very much.

Several days ago, Su Tang was missing. The old man was so worried about her that he ordered all the male members of the family regardless of their positions to come back. Even the old man’s youngest son, who served in a secret national department, also hurried back after receiving the old man’s call. From this, one could tell how much the old man doted on his granddaughter.

Even some senior officials of the country were alarmed by the news. However, the old man still failed to find the girl even after he sent out all the forces of the Su Family.

In those days, the old man did not eat or sleep, and lost much weight.

Just as the old man gave up all his hope, Su Tang returned home herself. However, she was so scared that she forgot what had happened except that someone saved her.

The old man was so furious that someone actually dared to hurt his granddaughter. Since Su Tang had forgotten everything, the old man could only vent his anger on his sons. Even though his sons were powerful figures, they were scolded by the old man harshly.

Unexpectedly, Su Tang suddenly remembered what had happened several days ago. Seeing his granddaughter so scared, the old man was itching to summon an army and perish the Yun Family.

The handsome man and the beautiful woman sitting beside the old man were full of killing intent, especially the man. He stared at Yun Nanfeng fixedly and wanted to kill him for he almost broke down after being scolded and beaten by the old man during these days.

The guests were in a state of anxiety; they were afraid that they would be involved as the old man was so angry.

“Grandpa Su, please rest assured. I’ll explain it to you. Please watch the video first.” Yun Nanfeng’s expression did not change from beginning to end.

Yun Nanfeng pressed the button of the remote control, and the video continued playing.
