2552 The Wedding Scene 2 (2/2)

Before he could make up his mind on what to do next, a loud explosion from afar distracted him. Clouds of black smoke could be seen rising from the administrative center of Luo Hua City. The explosion was so loud that everyone could feel the ground shaking. In shock, the people followed the sound and peered at the explosion site.

”The governor's residence has exploded!” A voice exclaimed.

The dark clouds from the explosion had filled almost half of the sky. Dust and ashes from the shattered building still lingered in the air, forming a spectacular view of a rising mushroom cloud. It was really happening!

The entire scene unfolded too suddenly, so the crowd began to panic. People started shoving one another in order to get out. In just a matter of seconds, the place had turned into chaos. Some people starting screaming, ”What is happening? Why is the governor's residence on fire?”

”Could it be that the people from the Devil Kingdom are here?”

”Governor, you should go and have a look.”

”Let us go and have a look.”

The heated discussions went on. These voices seemed to achieve their desired effect as they built suspense in the crowd. Convinced, the people from each tent started to move towards the exit as the square continued to lose its order.

Kun Xueyi felt that hope had just returned. It looked like Gu Xijiu had succeeded. He moved a little but was immediately stopped by an arm that was wrapped around his waist. Yun Yanli whispered hoarsely into his ear, ”Xijiu. where do you think you are going?”

He sounded rather callous. Kun Xueyi sighed. ”Yun Yanli, your residence is burning down. Aren't you going to have a look?”

Yun Yanli had momentarily deactivated the spell that he used to prevent Kun Xueyi from talking, which allowed him to respond. Certainly, his volume was still restricted. All he could do was speak softly, so other people could not hear what he said.

Yun Yanli gave him a smile, but it was not genuine. He got even closer and said with a harsh tone, ”The men from the Devil Kingdom must have caused it, right? Are they trying to use this distraction to save their master?”

Kun Xueyi frowned at him. ”So what? Your house should be the main concern.”

”It is merely a building that is worthless to me.”
