Return

Within the Su Family, firecrackers crackled in unison, gongs and drums shook the heavens, and the air brimmed with festivity.

Inside the Su Family's spacious council hall, distinguished guests filled every seat. All the notable figures of Great Flame City had arrived to attend the wedding of the Grand Elder's son, Su Yuanba.

The Grand Elder wore a broad smile and a bright crimson robe as he sat upon the patriarch's seat, gazing down at the countless guests. He was truly overjoyed today.

The Grand Elder had three sons. His eldest was a cultivation prodigy who had joined the Blazing Fire Sect. His second remained by his side, and his cultivation was no weaker; he could become the future family head.

Only his third son was a fool. Yet today, even that third son had married a wife as beautiful as a flower, making others green with envy.

So what if he was a fool? He, Su Yuanba, controlled the Su Family, one of Great Flame City's three great families. With a single word from him, whatever he wanted would be his.

"That piece of trash is dead. Taking advantage of today's wedding, I will also make preparations to shed the title of acting patriarch and become the true patriarch. My second son, Su Wuyan, shall be the young patriarch."

"Ha ha ha!"

Su Yuanba laughed heartily, brimming with pride and satisfaction.

"Bring in the newlyweds!"

At that moment, someone below shouted loudly. Su Wuzhi, dressed in a groom's robe and wearing a large red flower, was helped into the hall. He grinned foolishly, snot hanging from his nose. "Marrying a wife, I'm marrying a wife! Hehe, from now on I'll sleep with my wife."

The people around them looked on with contempt. This fool even knew he was supposed to climb into bed with his wife.

Beside the fool, Su Yu'er wore a large red bridal veil. Her body trembled faintly, and soft sobs could be heard. She was going to marry a fool.

"Brother, Yu'er can no longer take care of you."

"Brother, as long as you are well, Yu'er will be at peace."

"Brother, Yu'er actually wanted to... but sadly, Yu'er does not have that fate."

Yu'er spoke silently in her heart. More tears streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string, falling onto the floor and shattering with a snap, just like her heart, already smashed to pieces.

It turned out that she had agreed to marry beneath herself because the Grand Elder had promised to protect Su Hao.

Yu'er had only married the fool for Su Hao's sake.

But she did not know that the Grand Elder had already made his move today, and her brother had nearly died.

No, to be precise, her brother had already died. The Su Hao now alive had been reborn anew—the Lotus Incarnation, the Innate Dao Body!

"Lift the red veil!"

Someone shouted loudly.

The fool grinned, his snot flowing into his mouth as he tore away the red veil from Yu'er's head. "Hehe, wife, I have a wife..."

Yu'er's face was revealed.

At once, it drew gasps of amazement.

Everyone around them froze. Some of the young men even widened their eyes, like mosquitoes spotting fresh blood, unable to tear their scorching, greedy gazes away.

Beautiful—far too beautiful!

Dressed in a crimson robe, with jeweled hairpins and light makeup, Yu'er was simply breathtaking.

Such a woman was heaven's masterpiece, flawless jade, a beauty among beauties.

Many people secretly sighed in regret. Such a peerless beauty was actually going to marry a fool. What a pity, what a tragedy—truly casting pearls before swine!

"Ha ha ha!"

The Grand Elder laughed again.

His smile overflowed with boundless smugness.

He saw the burning, jealous gazes below, but so what?

They could only stare and crave, unable to touch her in the slightest. She was to marry his son—she would be the daughter-in-law of Su Yuanba.

"Newlyweds, bow to Heaven and Earth!" the shout rang out again.

The fool hurriedly lowered his head, sucking on his fingers as he muttered, "Bow to Heaven and Earth..."
