Evil of all ages

Chapter 188: Being cheated

Li Yanliang: "What, you've already kept three thousand retainers, and you still think it's not enough?"

"Why not raise more? Don't worry about what people say. Raise ten thousand or twenty thousand, preferably more than the Imperial Guards."

Li Wukong: "Nonsense! You say I keep three thousand retainers, so I keep three thousand retainers?"

"This prince also accuses you of keeping a private army, forming cliques, engaging in corruption and bribery..."

Li Yanliang: "Hehe..."

"..."

Those around them, seeing the two princes vying for power to this extent, all pretended to be deaf and dumb; they were just there to drink the wedding wine.

I really don't want to know things I shouldn't know.

At this moment, Huang Taichu said he had something to say, and the eldest prince and the third prince immediately stopped arguing and turned to look at Huang Taichu.

“Your Highnesses, if you continue like this, I’m afraid your fate will be the same as that of the Sixth and Seventh Princes.”

"Imprisoned in my dungeon."

Huang Taichu said casually.

Upon hearing this, both princes' eyes darkened.

"Is this your prophecy? Or can you see a vision of the future?"

Li Wukong knew that Huang Taichu, the son of the Ghost King, was definitely not an ordinary person. With a Ghost King as his father, he must also possess strange and unusual abilities.

Perhaps it can predict the future, or even see scenes of the future.

"If it wasn't us, then who was it?"

Who took that seat?

Li Yanliang also thought that Huang Taichu had this ability, and couldn't wait to ask.

Those around them thought the two princes had gone mad, daring to ask such a question, especially if there were any Imperial Guards present.

Whether the two princes will be punished or not, they don't know, but they will be in trouble for hearing things they shouldn't have.

Now they pray that the son of the Ghost King will not answer the two princes' questions directly.

Even if you want to answer, wait until they're not around before you do.

"I'm not a prophet, I'm just kindly reminding you that you're all too noisy."

"Furthermore, I hope the two princes will not come on my wedding day, as it will affect my mood."

Ordinary people wouldn't dare say such things to the two princes, but Huang Taichu didn't care. After speaking, he led his sister to another empty table.

The two princes looked slightly displeased; no one had ever dared to be so disrespectful to them before.

But the thought that Huang Taichu was the son of the Ghost King filled them with deep apprehension.

It's best not to provoke the son of the Ghost King before you've accomplished anything significant.

"Humph"

The eldest prince and the third prince both snorted at each other, then stood up, walked away, and refused to sit at the same table.

Soon, the dishes were served.

This means the wedding ceremony is about to begin.

Huang Taichu and his sister occupied a table by themselves. Looking at the table full of delicacies, Wei Qianlan ate whatever she wanted without being polite.

They weren't afraid of wasting food because they couldn't finish it all, and there was still plenty of food left over.

Don't underestimate Big White just because it's small. If it wants to, it can eat the equivalent of a mountain's worth of food in one meal.

Huang Taichu took a few bites and then saw Di Qingtian and his newlyweds come out and enter the main hall, where everyone else gathered around.

Even Wei Qianlan, who was halfway through her meal, ran over to join in the fun.

Seeing that there were many people, Huang Taichu sat there without moving, watching Di Qingtian and the princess through the shared gaze of the Greedy World-Devouring Gu.

Pay homage to heaven and earth

Second worship at the high hall
Husband and wife bowing to each other
After escorting the princess to the bridal chamber, Di Qingtian came out to offer wine to everyone.

Everything went so smoothly.

By the time Huang Taichu and his sister emerged from the princess's residence, it was already night.

Huang Taichu did not take his sister back to the Huang family mansion on Qingfeng Street, but instead returned to the new Huang residence.

Di Qingtian had promised Huang Taichu a large house, but Huang Taichu still complained that the house Di Qingtian gave him was a bit too small.

Don't take the one Di Qingtian gives you, create one yourself.

Not wanting to be too far from the South City Prison, they used money to buy all the land deeds of dozens of households just 800 meters away from the prison.

Demolish all houses and rebuild.

In about ten days, I want to rebuild a mansion comparable to a royal palace.

To complete it within ten days is impossible for the people of this world.

But Doraemon can materialize all of Doraemon's gadgets using his materialization ability.

With the people from the Ghost Market starting the work, plus his clone using Doraemon gadgets to assist, it was completed within ten days—a piece of cake.

As for the reaction of the people in the capital, they must have been extremely shocked.

But this needs no explanation. Because he is the son of the Ghost King, and this son of the Ghost King is getting married.

It's not normal for the Ghost King's father to use his supernatural powers to conjure up a mansion for his son.

And so, fewer and fewer people in the capital questioned the existence of the Ghost King.

Back to the Huang residence
After Wei Qianlan fell asleep while holding the big cat, Huang Taichu also lay down to rest.

Time passes

On the wedding day, Huang Taichu rode a horse to pick up his bride.

Bai Donglai arrived with a group of children.

He showed the invitation to Mr. Fu, handed him the gift, and then went inside with the children.

The Huang residence was also divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard. Bai Donglai knew that the children were not qualified to enter the inner courtyard, so he arranged for all the children to sit at the banquet in the outer courtyard.

Just as he was wondering whether he should sit at the banquet in the outer courtyard with the children or go into the inner courtyard, Wei Qianlan ran over carrying the big cat.

"Mr. Bai, my brother has instructed that there is a place for you inside. Please come with me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Donglai followed Wei Qianlan into the inner courtyard, agreeing with the guest's suggestion.

There weren't many banquet tables set up in the inner courtyard, just twenty.

Bai Donglai was quite surprised when he saw so many innate experts.

There are at least fifty or sixty of them, and many innate experts are unfamiliar with them.

That's not important. What's important is that the more prominent the table is, the more powerful the person sitting at it is.

At the second table at the very front, there were late-stage Innate Realm experts and peak Innate Realm experts.

And the first table at the very front

There were three people sitting up there.

Unlike other martial artists, he could not easily sense the cultivation levels of these three people.

This made his face change.

He realized that these three people, like him, were all Grandmasters of supreme strength.

The supreme masters are not supposed to be kings who never meet, so how come he encountered three of them all at once?

This left him speechless. The imperial court only had five Grandmaster-level experts, and four of them were gathered here…

"Have they all disguised themselves?"

This is Bai Donglai's heartfelt sentiment.

He didn't recognize any of the three people.

There are only so many grandmasters and supreme experts in the world. It's impossible for so many unfamiliar grandmasters and supreme experts to suddenly appear. He couldn't help but suspect that they were all disguised.

His guess was correct; the three were indeed Ye Wuji and Luo Sanxiao.

"Wait, do you mean I should sit at that table?"

Bai Donglai suddenly had this premonition.

Then he saw Wei Qianlan skipping and hopping to the table where the three of them were sitting.

"Mr. Bai, here, here, your spot is here."

Wei Qianlan pointed to the stool next to Ye Wuji and shouted.

And that table only had five stools.

However, Wei Qianlan's shout made everyone in the inner courtyard look at Bai Donglai.

Oh no, I've been scammed!

This is Bai Donglai's heartfelt sentiment.

At this moment, he felt like crying but had no tears. He clearly wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want others to know that he was a Grandmaster.

But not everyone here knew that he was a Grandmaster Supreme.

You see, all three of them were disguised, but he was the only one who wasn't. This is clearly a setup against him.

"Is there a mistake? I'm just a teacher. What qualifications do I have to sit in that position?"

Bai Donglai still wanted to struggle a bit, hoping that Wei Qianlan would understand his meaning and arrange for him to be placed in a corner.

Unfortunately, he encountered a silly and cute little girl.

"Impossible. I may be stupid, but I couldn't have misheard. That's exactly what my brother told me. He said to sit here when you came."

Wei Qianlan acted as if she hadn't made a mistake.

"Ah~"

Seeing this, Bai Donglai couldn't help but sigh deeply.

But given the circumstances, he knew that any explanation he gave would be useless.

We could only go forward and sit down.

Once he sat down, the room was filled with whispers and gossip about him.

This left him feeling quite uneasy, wondering why he was the only one who had been scammed.
