The Persona Is Set—This Wedding Must Be Crashed!

"Lin Yin failed. Her soul lamp has gone out."

Inside a branch of the Hidden Dragon Society, a man spoke with an ugly expression.

"It seems Qin Luo has a powerhouse above the Saint Realm protecting him."

"I'd say there's a chance that thing has already fallen into the hands of the Great Qin Dynasty. Don't forget Su Qianchen."

"What do we do next?"

"Don't make any moves for now. Keep a close eye on that thing. As for the Reverse Scale, find out whether it's in Qin Luo's hands or someone else's."

"Send a woman to get close to Qin Luo. Find a way to win him over."

The beauty trap had been one of the damned best schemes since ancient times, and he tossed it out without hesitation.

"Fine, I agree. At the same time, I suggest we leave the Imperial Capital of the Great Qin Dynasty immediately. This place may no longer be safe."

"Fine! We'll leave first."

Chen Zhanshan still had military duties of his own. This time, he had secretly slipped out from the city he guarded.

No one knew about it at all.

"You should sneak back. Don't expose the relationship between us," Qin Luo instructed.

"Yes!" Chen Zhanshan nodded. "Your Highness, take care on the road."

After Chen Zhanshan left, Qin Luo and the others picked up speed. Without stopping for even a moment, they headed straight for the Ten Thousand Mountains.

During this time, a rumor was spreading through the Ten Thousand Mountains with growing intensity.

Within Myriad Sword Manor, a young woman finished reading the storybook in her hands, her expression full of quiet resentment.

"Miss, that Young Master Ye actually has another woman in his heart. Hmph... how dare he!" the maid beside her said indignantly.

The young woman's name was Zhao Lingyin, the eldest daughter of Myriad Sword Manor. Ever since Ye Chen had played the hero and saved the beauty, the two had developed mutual feelings over recent days. They were already nearing the point of discussing marriage.

Yet she hadn't expected Ye Chen's lover to suddenly appear at such a critical moment.

She looked at the storybook again and sighed. "After all, Brother Chen knew Sister Ruyan before he knew me."

"I just wonder how heartbroken Brother Chen will be when he learns that Sister Ruyan is getting married."

"So what if she's getting married? Once she marries someone else, Young Master Ye will only have Miss."

Zhao Lingyin shook her head slightly. "You underestimate Brother Chen too much. If Sister Ruyan and Brother Chen no longer had feelings for each other, then naturally he wouldn't say anything if she got married."

"But they were forcibly separated by their sect elders. Sister Ruyan doesn't want to marry the young master of Divine Weapon Valley. She must be waiting bitterly for Brother Chen to pull her out of the fire pit."

"Brother Chen will definitely act impulsively. Sigh..."

When Ye Chen first heard the news, he had actually been quite happy.

Because he had been portrayed as a talented and handsome young man, and branded with the image of someone loyal and righteous.

For a time, countless people came to know the great name of Ye Chen.

But now, something felt off.

Liu Ruyan was getting married. Fine, she was getting married.

But why was every bit of news saying that Ye Chen would definitely go crash the wedding?

"I bet someone as loyal and righteous as Ye Chen will definitely crash the wedding on the day of the ceremony!"

"That's right! How could Ye Chen allow his beloved woman to become another man's wife?"

"There's a kind of love called never abandoning, never giving up!"

"A man like Ye Chen will definitely crash the wedding even if it kills him! If he doesn't go, I'll eat two jin of shit!"

"Exactly! Ye Chen is a role model for all young people of our generation. How could he fear power and oppression?"

"I heard that when Qin Luo, the Holy Son of Taixu Sacred Land, tried to forcibly marry Liu Ruyan before, Ye Chen defeated the strong while weak and drove him out of Taixu Sacred Land!"

"If Ye Chen doesn't crash the wedding, I'll never believe in love again for the rest of my life! But if Ye Chen does crash it, I'll definitely offer my humble support and go cheer him on!"

Looking at the scattered remarks sent to him, Ye Chen was utterly numb.

It was as though they were saying that if he didn't go, then Ye Chen would be an ungrateful man who abandoned his wife and children.

He thought of a crucial issue. Perhaps Zhao Lingyin knew as well.

He hurried toward Zhao Lingyin's courtyard.

After they met, before he could explain, Zhao Lingyin spoke first. "Brother Chen, you don't need to say anything. I understand. I understand everything!"

She threw herself into Ye Chen's arms, her tears already soaking his clothes.

"I saw the story of Brother Chen and Sister Ruyan. I support you going to crash the wedding and bring Sister Ruyan back. I'll ask Father to help you!"

"Myriad Sword Manor will stand behind you!"

Well then...

Ye Chen was completely numb.

What was the main reason? That damned novel had spread too widely!

Qin Luo had described the love story between Ye Chen and Liu Ruyan with twists and turns worthy of a raging tide.

He had turned himself and Taixu Sacred Land into the great villains.

The day Qin Luo was judged had been rewritten by Qin Luo into a plot where he tried to forcibly marry Liu Ruyan, while Ye Chen caused havoc in Taixu Sacred Land for her sake and forcibly suppressed Qin Luo.

It had to be said that the people of this world were truly starved for entertainment.

In an instant, Ye Chen's persona had been established: sentimental and righteous, unafraid of tyranny. He was practically becoming the idol of hundreds of millions of young people.

If Ye Chen didn't go, his image would collapse.

Today they might raise him onto an altar, but one day, he would fall into the mud.

"Brother Chen, let's go together and bring Sister Ruyan back."

"Don't worry, I won't be jealous."

Zhao Lingyin looked up at Ye Chen. So young, yet so sensible that it made one's heart ache!

With Ye Chen being roasted over the flames, there was no possibility of retreat.

He stroked Zhao Lingyin's hair and spoke gently. "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

"I won't let my woman suffer even the slightest harm. No one can!"

Since he couldn't retreat, he would charge forward!

If he succeeded in crashing the wedding this time, his reputation would surely soar. Then, among the younger generation of the Ten Thousand Mountains, Ye Chen would certainly command tremendous prestige, and a single call from him would draw countless responses!

Risks and opportunities coexisted!

Since that was the case, he needed to plan this properly!

He had to borrow the power of Myriad Sword Manor, and he also needed to borrow the strength of another sect.

The Alchemy Cauldron Sect!

He possessed the lost inheritance of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, and he was also its most gifted alchemy genius. He was confident he could win over the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.

There was one more person. He had a childhood sweetheart whom he might be able to contact now.

Mobilize every force he could mobilize and ignite the battle against Divine Weapon Valley!

This battle had to be won!

Within Taixu Sacred Land, Liu Ruyan had also received that storybook. Aside from a few names, she was completely unfamiliar with the rest of the plot.

It began with Ye Chen saving a beauty like a hero, the beauty falling for him, and the two secretly developing feelings. Ye Chen joined Taixu Sacred Land for Liu Ruyan's sake, secretly protecting her through numerous missions and secret realms, helping her escape danger time and again.

The villain Qin Luo repeatedly slandered Ye Chen, then claimed the credit for Ye Chen's protection of Liu Ruyan as his own.

It made her furious, making her feel that Qin Luo was truly awful.

But upon thinking about it, wasn't this plot actually Ye Chen slandering Qin Luo and driving her farther and farther away from him?

Then came the misunderstanding being cleared up. Ye Chen exposed Qin Luo's hypocritical mask, while Taixu Sacred Land sheltered Qin Luo and everyone became a villain.

Ye Chen attacked in fury and suppressed Qin Luo, only to be heavily injured by Taixu Sacred Land. If not for Liu Ruyan's desperate pleas, Ye Chen would have been slain on the spot.

Ye Chen left behind one sentence: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never look down on a poor young man!

That sentence also deeply shook the countless oppressed disciples from the lower ranks, all of whom dreamed that one day they could hold their heads high.

Ye Chen's reputation reached its peak.

Liu Ruyan became sick with longing, unable to eat or drink. In the end, Taixu Sacred Land even wanted to use her as a tool for a marriage alliance, merely to exchange her for a Saint artifact.

This stirred the sympathy of many women as well. They all spoke up for Liu Ruyan, even openly calling for Ye Chen to crash the wedding!

With the groundwork laid to this extent, it truly wouldn't make sense if Ye Chen didn't appear.

Liu Ruyan could even picture Ye Chen causing havoc at the wedding, crashing it and taking her away.

"If Ye Chen really comes to crash the wedding, should I go with him?" Liu Ruyan murmured.

Marrying Ye Chen would be far better than marrying that so-called young master of Divine Weapon Valley.

The young master of Divine Weapon Valley was worse than Qin Luo by ten million miles. In Liu Ruyan's eyes, he didn't even qualify as a lapdog. The sight of that man made her sick to the stomach.

Even though Ye Chen had done those things to slander Qin Luo, the charisma of a Child of Fortune still remained.

Especially now, when everyone believed Ye Chen was the righteous protagonist and Qin Luo was the villain.

The truth didn't matter. What mattered was what others said and what others believed.

"If Ye Chen dares to appear, I'll dare to break off the engagement!"

"Rather than marry someone I don't love, I'd rather die!"

Reading the novel had swept Liu Ruyan up in its fervor. It wasn't just her—everyone who had read it had already imagined a joyous ending.
