Huyan Lan answered the QQ call.
Hu Xiao looked at the QQ call interface with Phoenix, which was still in an unreachable state, and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, " Xiao Lan and I get along quite well, how could she possibly be Phoenix?"
Huyan Lan listened attentively to the report on the other end of the phone. She first nodded in surprise, then her beautiful eyes widened, and finally her face was filled with shock. "Okay, I understand."
Jiang Sui asked curiously, " Sister Lan, who called you?"
"My partner at the wedding planning company," Huyan Lan's expression returned to normal, "He doesn't contact me easily, but when he does, it's always because of an emergency at the company—it's never good news."
Jiang Sui tilted her head, "An emergency?"
"This emergency isn't a bad thing, it's a great thing," Huyan Lan said with a deep breath. "There's a prominent family in Kyoto, Japan, who wants to hold a traditional Chinese wedding and hopes my company can handle it."
" Japan holding a Chinese-style wedding?" Jiang Sui asked suspiciously. "Does that mean one of the couple is Huaxia?"
"I don't know the specific details yet," Huyan Lan said, holding up one finger, beaming with delight, "But that prestigious family in Kyoto is extremely generous, with a wedding budget of 100 million RMB!"
"Take the young master?"
Jiang Sui eyes widened, and she screamed in terror.
Hu Xiao's pupils dilated in shock, his face filled with horror. Spending 100 million just to hold a traditional Chinese wedding—that prestigious family couldn't be described as just extravagant; they were truly incredibly wealthy, richer than a nation!
Huyan Lan, with the snow-white peaks of Mount Everest undulating before her, said, "This is the wedding with the largest budget I've ever handled in the wedding planning industry. Even with the most conservative net profit estimate, my company can earn at least 25 million!"
"25 million?"
Jiang Sui felt her worldview had been refreshed. Earning 25 million from a wedding—no wonder modern people prefer to start their own businesses and be their own bosses rather than work for a fixed salary; the two are simply incomparable.
Just then...
Hu Xiao's private phone rang. The caller ID showed Anya. He frowned and answered, "Hello! What's up? Huh, huh? You son of a bitch, say that again!"
Jiang Sui and Huyan Lan both cast surprised glances at them.
Hu Xiao hung up the phone, his eyes filled with horror.
Jiang Sui hurriedly asked, "What happened to your kidney?"
Hu Xiao Roar was in high spirits, unable to hide his excitement.
"My little brother, Anya, just called me and said that the security company I run in Kyoto, Japan, has received a security order for a wedding of a local wealthy family. They're asking for 50 million."
"50 million?"
Not only was Jiang Sui stunned.
Lian Huyan Lan there, stunned.
Hu Xiao paced back and forth, oblivious to everything else, and exclaimed, "Damn it! I'll make at least 40 million from this order!"
"Wow, Uncle Hu, I didn't expect your security industry to be even more profitable than Sister Lan's wedding industry!"
" Xiao Jiang, this is an exception and doesn't represent the entire industry."
"You said the wedding security order you received came from Kyoto."
Huyan Lan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "That powerful family's name wouldn't be the Yugong Family, would it?"
Hu Xiao Roar was taken aback. "How did you know?"
Huyan Lan relaxed her brows and said, "Because my wedding order also came from the Yugong Family!"
"What?"
Kyoto, top floor of the Yugong Tower!
" Sister Liuli... Sister Liuli is Whale Overlord?"
Yugong Nishang stared blankly at the trending news on the international version of Douyin. Her delicate face was filled with a dazed expression. Those light purple long hair and those signature red eyes were none other than her beloved Sister Liuli.
"Is the famous Whale Overlord Honor of Kings, Liuli, actually the older sister of Mao Rabbit · Yuejing, a core member of the Imperial Crown?"
Yugong Nishang's eyelids twitched. He never imagined that their "small" Yugong Family would actually have two "Supreme" members.
My older sister is the strongest support player in the entire Rift.
My younger brother is the strongest mid-laner in the entire Rift!
"So, Sister Liuli went to Huaxia to participate in the Clash of Kings and assist Exalted Emperor in vying for the King Title?"
Yugong Nishang felt that something was off.
If her sister Liuli's purpose in going to Huaxia was only to participate in the Clash of Kings, then she could have flown directly from Kyoto, Japan to Sanya, Hainan, without having to go to Jiangcheng Jiangsu!
"Perhaps we can find the answer in Sister Liuli's diary."
Although he knew that reading his family's diary was immoral, Yugong Liuli couldn't care less; he had to find out his sister Liuli's true purpose in going to Huaxia.
Yugong Liuli flipped through her diary, her pupils dilating in shock!
The diary meticulously records the players my sister encountered in every ranked Peak Tournament since she started playing Honor of Kings. At the end of each season, she also makes a summary to thank the players who helped her rank up.
[Why I still managed to reach the Glory King rank despite playing so poorly in Season 3]
Special thanks.

" Imperial Emperor... Senior?"
Yugong Nishang keenly sensed something was amiss. Unlike the other players who addressed each other by their full names, she specifically added the suffix "senior" when thanking their captain, Imperial Emperor!
Continuing to flip through the diary, I discovered something even more astonishing.
"On December 12, 2016, I crashed into Imperial Emperor streamer), ruining his 100-star ranked match. He added me as a friend and taught me some skills. Imperial Emperor is so kind."
"On April 7, 2017, I ran into my senior for the second time. He used Lady Sun and my Cai Wenji to completely dominate the enemy team. My senior is so amazing!"
"On June 30, 2017, I encountered my senior in a match for the third time. After the game, he gave me a thumbs up. I was so happy!"
"April 4th, 2025, the fiftieth car crash, you're the best, senior!"
Yugong Nishang's mind exploded. At this moment, he finally understood why his sister Liuli's ultimate wish was to go to Huaxia. This wasn't to participate in the Clash of Kings; it was clearly to find their captain, the Imperial Emperor!
" Sister Liuli... Sister Liuli has fallen in love with the Imperial Emperor?"
Even though she was unwilling to face it, Yugong Nishang had no choice but to accept this cruel reality: the captain Imperial Emperor, whom she had been trying to seduce day and night, was the person her sister Liuli had loved for nearly ten years!
"The captain is very well hidden; how could Sister Liuli possibly find him!"
Yugong Nishang's face changed from pale to ashen. Now that her elder sister, Liuli, has been exposed on the stage of the Clash of Kings, the family will soon find out. There is very little time left for her sister, Liuli, to find the Imperial Emperor!
"I have to help Sister Liuli!"
Yugong Nishang bit her tongue hard, immediately opened QQ, and was just about to send a message to Captain Imperial Emperor when the door creaked open and slowly pushed open, a sense of oppression from the depths of her bloodline swept through the entire room.
"Brother... elder brother, what brings you here?"
Clang!
A flash of crimson light streaked past.
Yugong Nishang's purple veil split in two and slowly slid to the floor. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his eyes showed extreme terror, and his petite body trembled uncontrollably.
Click!
The fiery red reverse-blade sword was sheathed, an asymmetrical scarlet sleeve revealed a lean, muscular chest, and a calm, serene voice rang out. "Perhaps you should tell me why Liuli is in Huaxia."
