”Gao Yulou, your mother is calling you for lunch!”
A clear voice with a teasing tone drowned out all of the noise of the large wedding procession. The expression of Lu Shaoyou, who got down from a horse just now and was ready to kick the door of the sedan chair, changed immediately. He looked up and saw someone standing in the corner of the street.
That slender man was covered by a dark robe and a mask that was decorated with a wacky smile. He stood in the corner of the street, looking at the festive party quietly.
”Who is that guy? Why does he stand over there? Why haven't I noticed him until just now?”
The appearance of Junior Leopard shocked all those who had confidence in their cultivation. Even though the scene was really noisy, those who had special tasks all received more than one warning in advance that some people may cause trouble here. Therefore they had maintained their vigilance the whole time. But this man appeared in the corner without being detected. How impressive his hiding technique was!
Junior Leopard was provoking Gao Yulou, but the latter was not impulsive. He held the sword, staring at Junior Leopard firmly. His treacherous expression made Junior Leopard uncomfortable. ”Only a competition in Qi Power, I don't care!”Junior Leopard thought.
”Who are you and what's your aim?”
As Junior Leopard was about to release his Qi Power to confront with Gao Yulou, a woman came out from the crowd. She was a little fat, wearing red clothes and holding a red feather fan. She must been have made up with lots of cosmetics, which fell down with her each movement. That was the woman matchmaker of the Lu Mansion.
The one who should come forward to take the charge in such circumstances should be a woman matchmaker. Though the Lu Mansion knew it was a bit strange to do so, they were not willing to break the rules. What was more, that woman matchmaker was not weak, she was a famous woman in Jianghu, too.
Otherwise, she couldn't have the qualification to be their woman matchmaker.
Junior Leopard also knew it. Wang She had told him all these things in advance. But he knew that woman wouldn't be a hindrance to his task, because he was not here for Lu Shaoyou.
”Who are you? Why are you standing in my way?”
”My name is Wu Shangying, a woman matchmaker of the Lu Mansion and the Ma Mansion. Today is a good day for these two families, if you're here for a wedding feast, we appreciate it. But if you're here for trouble-making, then you must pay for it.” said Wu Shangying, trying to smile with her powdered face. At the same time, a strong Qi Power was emitted from her. The imposing manner, together with her fat body, was truly a bit threatening. But Junior Leopard was not nobody. He knitted his brows slightly in the face of such power and that Qi Power just disappeared 10 feet away from his body.
”It's none of your business, nor the Ma Mansion's or the Lu Mansion's, so you shouldn't threaten me with those two families. I'm just here for Gao Yulou. Gao Yulou, your mother asked you to go back and eat lunch. Don't you understand?”
Gao Yulou was extremely annoyed. He made a cold snort and walked one step forward with his sword. Lu Shaoyou also sent forth a strong sense of sword's will with a gloomy face. It seemed that he wanted to teach Junior Leopard a lesson prior to Gao Yulou.
”Wait, wait, wait! Today is a good day. You're the bridegroom, you can't fight casually.” seeing Lu Shaoyou was about to fight, Wu Shangying rushed to prevent him. At the same time, she got in the way of Gao Yulou.
”Since you're coming for Gao Yulou, I shouldn't have held you back. But Gao Yulou is our vital guest today. If you have any grudge with him, could you please put it off and handle it another day, just for the sake of the Lu Mansion.”
”But why?” Junior Leopard sneered, ”Handle it another day? How ridiculous. Should he be the bridegroom and have to enter the bridal chamber? Is there any difference in handling it today or another day? As to the Lu Mansion, why should I respect you?”
