Chapter 1070: The Decision on the Jade Throne

The long-awaited wedding between the head of the Mu family and Xiao Yuyan finally arrived under everyone’s eager attention!
On this day!
Gusu City, and even the entire Taihu region, was in an uproar. Everywhere, one could see galloping horses and martial artists from various factions.
The brightly decorated procession stretched from the Murong family’s residence in Gusu City all the way to the dock. Countless Mu family disciples, beaming with joy, explained to the guests and martial heroes the exact time and precautions for the wedding at Manduo Villa!
Many martial artists who had come from afar initially thought it was tedious and ignored the Mu family disciples to head straight for the dock. But when they reached the lakebank, they were stunned!
“Wow… there are so many people!”
Even before reaching the dock, the crowd stretched hundreds of meters ahead…
As far as the eye could see, there were only backs of heads!
The dense crowd turned this area into a place even busier than a marketplace.
The noise was deafening, and everywhere, people from various factions greeted each other and chatted. Many of them wore golden gang insignias on their chests; experts from the Dragon-Phoenix List or the Famous Masters List could also be seen.
However…
Whether they were leaders of major gangs or experts from the Famous Masters List, they all waited patiently behind the crowd, never trying to push their way forward.
Even rival gangs, upon arriving here, had no choice but to put aside their hostility, put on cheerful smiles, and avoid interfering with each other as the Mu family disciples moved about.
Seeing this, some arrogant people who had come from afar dismounted and humbly asked the surrounding Mu family disciples when they would be able to board the boat.
“Hehe, just wait a moment. In another moment, our wedding procession will arrive. Once the bride and groom reach Manduo Villa, everyone can enter together,” said the Mu family disciples, both men and women, with great patience, even though they had answered this question countless times.
“Has the wedding procession not arrived yet?” Many people wondered inwardly and asked anxiously, “Won’t that cause a lot of delays?”
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any delays.”
Those people had originally planned to say that with so many people waiting on the shore to take turns going to Manduo Villa, it would take a long time. But seeing their confident assurance that the ceremony wouldn’t be delayed, they quickly shut up.
Meanwhile, more martial artists and curious players kept arriving here…

Standing in the crowd, I saw those people, just like me before, casting a glance around before carefully asking about the time and details of the Mu Family’s disciple’s wedding. Each of them chatted casually with those around them in a calm and composed manner, exuding an air of superiority free from arrogance or impatience.
More and more people were gathering!
Fifteen minutes passed in no time…
At that moment!
A group of experts in red robes rushed towards the dock on fast horses, full of energy, shouting, “The master is here! Mu Family disciples, clear a path for the bride!”
Hearing this call, the chatter by Taihu Lake instantly ceased. Countless people turned around to look toward the road where the group was coming from…
In the distance, only a long red dragon could be seen marching grandly towards them!
“It’s finally here!”
“With so many wedding processions, how are we supposed to get through?”
“Will they stay here?”
Such discussions arose one after another at the edges of the crowd.
…
“Sorry!”
“Could you please move aside?”
“Thank you.”
The Mu Family’s disciples moved swiftly…
The people near the dock also cooperated fully. Upon hearing they needed to move aside, they promptly stepped back.
After the Mu Family’s escort team stationed by Taihu Lake joined in, a five-meter-wide path quickly formed from the outer edge of the crowd leading to the Taihu Lake dock!
Boom! Boom…
The procession rushed forward from the distant road.
It became clearer, larger, and more magnificent by the moment—it looked like an army of red warriors, full of power and dignity!
“Truly worthy of being the greatest expert under heaven and the leader of the largest gang in the Central Plains. He even uses tens of thousands of people and an entire day for his wedding—only he could pull off such a display.”
“I heard it wasn’t a happy idea.”
“I heard that too. It seems it was organized by a group of happy classmates… There are over fifty top experts alone in the procession, with tens of thousands more joining from every city along the way…”
“What’s that? Wait until you see how many people follow behind the procession—that’s when you’ll be really shocked!” someone in the crowd said.
This quickly drew disdain from many:
“Tch, we already knew. The news stations reported it—several hundred thousand people are following behind… And they still call it the century wedding of the Central Plains martial world!”
“A century wedding, huh. The bride must be so lucky.”
Among the crowd, many female players stared at the grand display with gleaming eyes, their excited expressions making the male companions around them nervous and regretful, sweating profusely as they cursed themselves for joining in the excitement.

As the procession drew closer, the ground trembled frequently… Everyone was eagerly awaiting it! … The bride and groom, who were of greatest concern to everyone, had been persuaded from the front of the procession to the middle, where they entered a magnificent, custom-made jade carriage from Suzhou City. Eight snow-white, magnificent horses pulled the carriage forward at a steady pace.
“These guys really know how to go all out.”
Kai Xin felt extremely uncomfortable sitting in their luxury jade carriage—rumored to be something only emperors could use.
“You’ll see what true extravagance looks like in a moment,” Xu Xin said calmly, sitting there effortlessly while gently massaging her sore calves from riding for so long.
“If they even managed to get their hands on something meant for emperors, what else could be more surprising?” Kai Xin naturally took Xu Xin’s calves to his lap, ignoring her startled cries, and began massaging them with his internal energy.
“Huh?”
At first, she was very unaccustomed, but soon she felt a warm flow from Kai Xin’s palms, which greatly relieved her soreness and brought comfort.
“Can hidden energy be used like this?”
“There’s more. Do you want to know?” Kai Xin smiled slyly.
Xu Xin, whose face was already delicate, blushed. “No need, just a little massage is enough…” She stopped resisting and let the unscrupulous man take advantage of the massage to flirt.
“By the way, how’s things on your end? Has Xifeng Tower tried to break through?”
“You guessed right. Meiying hopes I can help her disrupt Meng Yun’s plans outside the capital and create an opportunity for her to escape.”
Kai Xin then recounted his achievements that day.
Xu Xin’s expression grew increasingly serious.
“You’re in great danger now. That woman, Meng Yun, is extremely cunning. She’ll definitely team up with the Evil Emperor to frame you. If anything happens to you, a month in prison is inevitable.”
“I know.”
Kai Xin smiled, enjoying Xu Xin’s smooth, delicate skin as he replied, “That’s why I told her she needs to think it through—how to proceed and when to act. She has to follow my instructions.”
Hearing Kai Xin’s explanation, Xu Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Which area of the Central Plains does Meiying plan to break through to? Maybe I can help.”
“You?”
“Don’t forget, among the four top gangs in the Central Plains, our Mu Family is the foremost. The Heroic Gate, the Wind and Rain Alliance, and Xifeng Tower all follow our lead. From today onward, I’m the legitimate female head of the Mu Family. Asking them to investigate a certain area should not be a problem, right?”

“Of course, who would dare offend my wife?”
“……”
Her delicate face turned red as Xu Xin reminded the heartless man to answer her question.
“The coast, I guess. Shadow also knows how powerful Yipin Hall and the Wild Wolf Organization are, so they no longer plan to expand Xifeng Tower on a large scale. They seem to intend to fight guerrilla-style, gradually weakening Yipin Hall while waiting for the heroes of the Central Plains to build up enough strength to confront them.”
Xu Xin nodded after hearing this.
But instead of thinking too much, she stared into Happy’s eyes and asked, “What about you?”
“What about me?” Happy was taken aback.
“My lord of the Mu Family, you’re still alone. Do you plan to continue fighting against the Wild Wolf Organization and Yipin Hall by yourself? Or do you want to join that Fox Charm under Xifeng Tower and become her thug?”
“How could that be? Only you, Xu Xin, would make me a thug. How could I possibly join Xifeng Tower… Besides, that woman can’t even control your man.”
“…That’s so mean.”
Xu Xin quickly dodged Happy, who tried to get close to her:
“Since you don’t want to join Xifeng Tower, don’t you plan to form your own gang, like the Mu Family?”
“I used to want to, but things changed too quickly. I had just started building up my own strength when the Central Plains turned into what it is now…”
“What does that matter? You still managed to overthrow Yipin Hall all by yourself back then and drove them to the Western Regions.”
Xu Xin looked intently into Happy’s eyes and said seriously, “You can do it here, so you can definitely do it there. It’s just that there’s an Evil Emperor in the way. Besides, you yourself admitted that once you reach the Wuwei realm, you’ll have a chance to defeat the Evil Emperor.”
“You want me to establish a Mu Family?”
“I don’t want you to lose to that woman, Meng Yun. And…” Xu Xin’s tone changed as she gently leaned into Happy’s arms. “I hope you can be happy there too… Although I can’t go and help you, I don’t want you to come back exhausted… Every time I see the tired and strained look in your eyes, it breaks my heart… It really hurts… But I don’t know how to help you…”
As she spoke, Xu Xin’s eyes gradually turned red, filled with tears.
Noticing the slight tremor in the woman in his arms and the fragile vulnerability in her voice, Happy felt a pain in his heart and instinctively held her tighter:
“Who said you haven’t helped me?” Happy gently stroked Xu Xin’s smooth hair and smiled. “At least you’ve already helped me make up my mind…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the jade throne bell rang.

“Boss! We’ve arrived at Taihu Lake. Come and take a look at the red carpet we’ve prepared for you over the past half month…”
