Chapter 1072: “You Bastard, Silver Fox”

Millions of heroes from all over the Central Plains, eager and excited, stepped onto the “red carpet” leading from Taihu Port to Mantuo Villa. The red carpet, stretching for miles, showcased true luxury and grandeur, while also demonstrating the Mu family’s immense influence—crowds packed tightly for miles long, with millions coming from various parts of the Central Plains to attend this once-in-a-century wedding, an unprecedented event!
Among the crowd, one could even occasionally spot some foreign players with fair skin and blue eyes!
Compared to the heroes of the Central Plains, these players from foreign lands were even more stunned. Walking on the red carpet, they moved cautiously, as if stepping on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
“This might be the most expensive and luxurious red carpet I’ve ever walked on!”
“Even a president probably can’t muster tens of thousands of guards and millions of tourists…”
“Oh! God!”
“Look at those fairies—graceful and fragrant; such elegance isn’t even found in the most prestigious places.”
“This is the Central Plains!”
“No wonder it’s said online that one can’t truly understand the world of martial arts without coming to the Central Plains. The half-month of hardship at sea was worth it—everything here is so spectacular and astonishing! I don’t even know what wonderful words to use to describe it.”
“As soon as the wedding ends, I’ll turn what I’ve seen and heard into a photo collection to keep in my safe—definitely a page worth remembering!”
“Hurry up! We must not miss the grandeur of the wedding.”
The disciples of the Mu family watched solemnly as the foreign players approached the red carpet, filled with pride, while also quietly observing every unfamiliar face in the crowd.
They served as both guards and protectors of this red carpet, ensuring that no one could ruin the masterpiece that required so much effort and dedication from them. To outsiders, it might be a wonderful experience, but for them—the ones behind the scenes—they were the creators, the owners of it all.
They would not allow anyone to threaten this red carpet…
…
When Kai Xin and Xu Xin’s carriage arrived at Mantuo Villa, a grand gate had been temporarily erected at the dock, with a huge character “Double happiness” beneath it and a large cauldron placed below.
“The bride and groom have arrived!”
A person Kai Xin never expected stood at the dock, beaming, serving as the host:
“Open the cauldron!”
“Light the fire!”

With a whoosh, the lid of the cauldron was lifted by a disciple from the Mu family who dashed past, and fierce flames rose from within.
Kai Xin recognized the person’s identity the moment they moved—it was Lei Zhan!
After lifting the lid, Lei Zhan quickly disappeared into the crowd, and only after a few seconds did his simple, excited, and hopeful face reappear.
It was quite amusing to see a married middle-aged man taking on such a task, trying so hard not to be noticed.
Even through the red veil, Kai Xin could sense Xu Xin turning her head to smile at him.
Bai Xiaosheng walked up to Yu Luan with a smile and looked at Kai Xin:
“Congratulations, Kai Xin!”
“Weren’t you supposed to stay out of the capital? You made an exception today—there will be plenty for you to do from now on.”
“Hehe.”
Bai Xiaosheng laughed. He naturally understood what Kai Xin meant—his reputation in the Central Plains was unparalleled, but today he had made an exception to leave the capital for her, even acting as the master of ceremonies. In the future, it would likely be hard for him to refuse invitations from acquaintances.
“Don’t worry. As long as those people can organize something as grand as this, I, Bai Xiaosheng, am willing to leave the capital and work hard for them.”
Kai Xin was speechless.
Bai Xiaosheng’s words were truly extraordinary…
To pull off such a grand event, only a few people in the Central Plains might be qualified. By doing this, the other party could use his glory today to reject everyone else, with full justification.
“…”
The two exchanged smiles.
Bai Xiaosheng grew serious and announced loudly:
“Groom! Carry the bride down from the sedan! Step over the fire basin for a life filled with prosperity, love, and happiness, together until old age!”
…
By now, the heroes from various parts of the Central Plains who had followed had landed from other boats temporarily arranged by the Mu family.
A group of players who had come specifically to film the wedding rushed to the nearest spot and continued filming beyond the security line set up by the Mu family’s disciples.
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng, many couldn’t help but exclaim in awe again!
“Bai Xiaosheng himself is here as the master of ceremonies…”
“Tsk tsk!”
“What great news!”
“What’s there to be surprised about? They’re already very close. I’d find it strange if Bai Xiaosheng didn’t show up. Look at those guests over there… Mo Feng, Mei Ying, Ye Yu Suí Feng—those big names are all there…”
“Uh-uh, the leaders of the four major gangs are gathered. This is truly the most grand wedding in the Central Plains ever. It’s unlikely anyone will surpass it in the future.”
“Mm.”
More and more people arrived at the Manduo Villa.
“Look, the groom is carrying the bride now…”

“Is that big cauldron a brazier? Damn! Who would be so silly? With such a huge brazier, how can someone without martial skills get across?” someone in the crowd exclaimed exaggeratedly.
“Huh!”
As countless people watched eagerly, Happy simply picked up the bride without bending down, rising lightly into the air and gliding smoothly over the cauldron.
At the highest point, a clear voice suddenly rang out in the air: “Happy… there’s a jade Ruyi on the railing above your head that hasn’t been taken off. Without it, you can’t lift the bride’s veil.”
Happy’s body in the air paused slightly.
By then, they had already passed that railing…
At lightning speed! Happy, dressed in red and looking valiant, suddenly raised his hand to grab something!
Whoosh!
Before anyone could react, a large red flower hanging high above the door was suddenly grabbed by an invisible force and into Happy’s hands.
“You bastard, Silver Fox! How dare you play tricks on me!” Happy shouted angrily, startling everyone present. “Who would be so bold as to trick the master of the Mu family?” Then they saw a piece of the jade Ruyi visible inside the flower in Happy’s hand, and recalling the name he had called, they immediately understood—it must be some kind of “prank” within the Mu family.
Many foreigners present looked puzzled:
“What is he holding?”
“A jade Ruyi,” replied some experienced people with knowing smiles.
“A jade Ruyi? It sounds nice, but what’s its use?” The foreigners naturally didn’t understand.
“It’s prepared by the Mu family’s disciples for their master. Its original meaning is ‘may everything go well’… Now, it’s probably used to lift the bride’s red veil.”
Many in the crowd understood then, realizing it was a thrilling little stunt prepared by the Mu family for the groom…
But for Happy, who had the skill to capture dragons, this stunt was a piece of cake—just a bit thrilling at that moment.
The moment he landed…
Countless Mu family disciples burst into thunderous applause and cheers!
Many martial artists watching also smiled knowingly at this ingenious twist and cheered and applauded.
The bustling atmosphere at Manduo Villa suddenly startled those on the red carpet who were moving slowly. Realizing they must have missed something, many hurried to speed up and rushed over using their lightness skills.
With so many people, there surely wouldn’t be enough space at the dock.

At this moment, many people finally understood why the Mu family rushed into the “Crossing the Fire Pit” ritual without waiting for more people to arrive. Once they crossed the fire pit and stepped on the fragrant petals scattered everywhere, the bridegroom carried the bride under the escort of the procession into a sea of colorful lanterns. Manto Villa’s scenery was already outstanding, like a paradise on earth. After being carefully decorated by a large group of people, it had turned into a sea of lanterns—lanterns hung everywhere on the railings, rooftops, and treetops, delicate and beautiful, with a vibrant red glow. The word “Double happiness” was prominently displayed without ruining the aesthetic of the lanterns, giving people a sense of warmth as if they were in their own courtyard. Countless players following the bridegroom and bride were quickly captivated by the surrounding scenery… The procession moved through the crowd. Amidst the bustling figures, many people quickly realized an astonishing fact—they had lost sight of the main characters amidst the lanterns and beautiful scenery! The bridegroom and bride were gone… Many people tried to walk into Manto Villa, but were immediately informed by the Mu family’s disciples that the bridegroom and bride had gone to the wedding venue from this side. If they wanted to walk there, it would take at least half an hour to take in everything. “Is there a shortcut?” “There’s a flat area on the back mountain of Manto Villa… It’s just a few miles west… Follow the red carpet and you’ll find it.” “We’ve set up a banquet there.” The crowd quickly changed direction! They weren’t there to admire the lanterns but to watch the century wedding… They couldn’t afford to miss anything else! The news spread quickly, and the crowd’s rush toward Manto Villa was finally averted… The flat area on the back mountain of Manto Villa was originally desolate! But after being decorated by the Mu family’s disciples, it had turned into a sea of red—covered with red carpets and petals, and even a huge white jade platform had been set up in the middle, standing out like a splash of green among the flowers. As more people arrived, the once empty flat area quickly filled up… Bai Xiaosheng, who had been escorted there in advance, stood on the white jade platform and couldn’t help frowning at the scene before him. Although he had expected the Mu family head’s wedding to be extremely lively with guests from all directions, there were still too many people… In less than ten minutes, most of the wedding venue, which could originally hold hundreds of thousands of people, was already occupied. Aside from the area around the white jade platform, which was still relatively spacious, other places were barely big enough for people to stand, let alone move around. Yet countless people waited eagerly, showing no signs of impatience…

Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng exchanged a glance with Yin Hu, who was in charge of security. The latter nodded, and a firm, powerful voice rang out from the white jade platform in all directions: “Prepare the wine!” In an instant, the scent of wine filled the crowded crowd…
