Chapter 408 Su Yuan's Wedding! A True Lord's Gift! (3.2K views, please subscribe!)

After two days of sailing, Su Yuan and his group returned safely to Longcheng County.

After returning, he settled Chen Nuoyi, Mo Tisi and Qi Hanya, and then immediately went to overturn the case against the Feng family.

This matter is actually not difficult to handle. All that is needed is to make a brief contact with Vice Commissioner Fan, who is in charge of the affairs of all the prefectures and counties in Dongzhou, and ask him to order the Ziqi Prefecture to thoroughly investigate the Feng family case.

Of course, this contact with Transport Commissioner Fan was not only about the Feng family's affairs, but also to inform him that preparations for his promotion had been made.

There are three requirements for being promoted directly to the fifth rank of Imperial Inspector.

First, he made outstanding contributions in suppressing bandits at Dangkou.

Second, the public's approval rating exceeds 80%.

The third is to raise three million spirit coins.

Previously, Su Yuan had not been able to raise the full three million spirit coins.

But after recruiting Feng Chuanxiang, he could then legitimately sell the heads of the two great pirates, Wu Sheng and Xue Jiao, and also line his own pockets with their wealth.

In this way, not only was the three million raised immediately, but there was also a considerable surplus.

Transport Commissioner Fan was very satisfied with Su Yuan's efficiency and would soon send someone to receive the three million spirit coins.

Then, in less than a month, Su Yuan will be able to take office.

As for overturning the verdict against the Feng family, Transport Commissioner Fan handled it with a single word, without any difficulty.

Within seven days, Ziqi Mansion will definitely give Su Yuan, Feng Chuanxiang, and the people of the world a satisfactory answer.

So it seems that who says the celestial official system in the Heavenly Law World is inefficient? As long as the money is right, the efficiency is frighteningly high.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Su Yuan handed over three million spirit coins, and the Purple Qi Mansion thoroughly investigated the Feng family case, clearing the Feng family of all wrongdoing.

That same day, under Chen Nuoyi's cover, Mortis went to Wutong Island to bury the Feng family's remains that she had secretly collected over the past ten years.

Three days later, the time finally came for the county magistrate's wedding.

On this day, the people of Longcheng County spontaneously decorated the town with lanterns and colorful decorations, making the entire county town a lively and festive place.

As the people expected, County Magistrate Su spared no expense in hosting a lavish banquet, inviting over a million people from the entire city. With the addition of various grand ceremonies, the total cost of the wedding reached nearly a million spirit coins.

Su Yuan couldn't initially gather nearly a million spirit coins.

Fortunately, the four major families and six major sects were very understanding and generously contributed more than half of the spirit coins for this grand wedding.

Of course, Su Yuan did not use any demonic techniques or finger methods to hint at anything during this time.

It was entirely because the leaders of the four major families and six major sects were overjoyed when they heard the news that Su Yuan was about to be promoted. They joined forces to fund the event, hoping to send this plague away in style.

As for the other half of the spirit coins?
County Magistrate Su personally went to sea to kill wanted criminals and pirates such as Lin Yonghua and Captain Jin, and used their heads to exchange for the reward money.

In this way, not only was enough money raised for the wedding, but the threat from the sea was also completely eliminated for Longcheng County.

This can be considered as living up to the expectations of Longcheng County.

The mansion gifted to Su Yuan by the Lin family was filled with distinguished guests. Su Yuan, dressed in a red wedding gown, smiled and toasted each of the guests in the courtyard.

Chen Nuoyi and Mo Tisi, who served as a maid in the dowry, were naturally waiting in the bridal chamber, but Qi Hanya was different.

The girl was currently patrolling the courtyard gate with her hands behind her back, dressed in a guard uniform, looking very proud of herself.

It wasn't Su Yuan's intention to make Qi Hanyue the guard of the house; it was the girl's own request.

Because she didn't know much about the style of official uniforms, she saw that the guard uniform and the constable uniform looked similar, so she equated the two professions. Then she happily received a set of guard uniform and walked around inside and outside the county government office.

The constables and officials dared not offend her and pretended not to see anything.

In fact, the difference between guards and constables is roughly equivalent to the difference between security guards and police officers.

Su Yuan didn't expose the matter, but simply asked Qi Hanyue to guard the courtyard gate today and prevent any suspicious people from entering.

After all, protecting the county magistrate is one of the duties of the constables, so Qi Hanyue happily accepted the task.

Unfortunately, after most of the day, Qi Hanyue didn't see a single troublemaker.

This made her slightly dissatisfied, feeling that she had failed to fulfill her role as the "county magistrate's personal bodyguard."

Just as the banquet reached its midpoint and there were hardly any guests left, a figure suddenly appeared in Qi Hanyue's line of sight, immediately catching the girl's attention.

The person who came was a simply dressed old woman, carrying a box in her hands, and walking towards this side with a smile.

"She was an old woman I didn't recognize."

A thought flashed through Qi Hanyue's mind, and she immediately went to meet him, saying with a stern face:
"Grandma, County Magistrate Su is holding his wedding inside. Do you have an invitation?"

The kind-faced old woman carefully examined the pink-haired girl, then shook her head and said:
"I didn't receive an invitation."

"Then what are you here for?"

Qi Hanyue asked curiously.

The old woman said quietly, "I'm here to deliver takeout."

"Delivering takeout?"

Qi Hanyue was slightly taken aback, then, as if by reflex, she waved her hand seriously and said:
"No takeout orders allowed!"

"Little deliveryman, if you dare to force your way in, don't blame this constable for slinging you out with a fork!"

Old woman: "..."

Listen to this, does this sound like something a constable would say? This is just like a security guard.

While the old woman remained silent with a complicated expression, Qi Hanyue seemed to have thought of something and scratched her head in confusion:
"Wait, does the Heavenly Law World even have a job called food delivery driver?" "No, something's wrong!"

The pink-haired girl's beautiful eyes instantly sharpened, and she stared seriously at the old woman, saying:
"Are you perhaps a spy? Come with me..."

As she spoke, Qi Hanyue reached out to touch the rope around her waist, but at that moment, a tremendous force suddenly appeared at the back of her neck, pulling her backward.

Qi Hanyue was startled, thinking she had been ambushed. She quickly turned her head and saw Su Yuan dressed as a groom.

She felt a slight sense of relief, but then noticed that Su Yuan's expression was both tense and respectful, as if the old woman in front of him was some very important person.

"Senior Wuluo, why...why are you here?"

Su Yuan looked at the old woman in front of him and asked cautiously.

"Senior Wu... Wu Luo? Mom!"

Qi Hanya was stunned, staring in shock at the person in front of her.

Isn't the barrier of the Celestial Law World very thick? Why did my mother suddenly appear?

The old woman spoke softly:
"Don't be nervous, I won't beat you brats. Besides, this is just an avatar of mine, not my real body."

"As for why I've come... it would be impolite of me not to offer a congratulatory gift on my disciple's wedding."

Su Yuan nervously swallowed, feeling the same tension as when he was about to elope with his girlfriend and secretly hold a wedding, only to be blocked at the door by his future mother-in-law.

It's even worse than that, after all, the woman you married is your mother-in-law's adopted daughter, while her biological daughter is someone you sent to guard the gate... This is such a mess, it's no wonder she's been killed!

"Senior Wuluo, this is all an act to conquer the Heavenly Law World...it's not a real marriage."

Su Yuan said cautiously.

The old woman gave Su Yuan a deep look and sneered:
"Just don't take this too seriously."

"How could that be? You're joking, old man."

Su Yuan quickly tried to laugh it off, but cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

Even when facing the Blood Soul True Monarch's murderous intent back then, his level of tension was less than one-tenth of what it is now.

Because the current situation cannot be resolved by strength and luck alone.

Qi Hanyue saw Su Yuan's predicament and timely came to his rescue:
"Mom, stop scaring Su Yuan. What gift did you bring us? Let us see it quickly."

The old woman glanced sideways at her daughter:
"It's not you who's getting married, why would I bring you a gift? This is for Nuoyi and Suyuan."

The pink-haired girl gave an embarrassed smile and scratched her head.

The old woman didn't keep them in suspense and opened the box in front of the two of them.

To their surprise, the box was completely empty.

Qi Hanyue looked puzzled: "Mom, there's nothing here. You didn't send me air from Earth, did you?"

Then the old woman slowly said:
"Didn't I say I'm a food delivery person? I'm waiting for the restaurant to prepare the food."

"Oh, the food is here."

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out towards the clear blue sky and gently clenched her fist.

To Su Yuan and Qi Hanyue's astonishment, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.

It was none other than Blood Soul True Lord!
At this moment, Blood Soul True Monarch was like an insect stuck in amber, struggling but unable to move.

His expression had lost all its former majesty; he was staring at the unremarkable old woman with a look of terror on his face.

"Senior, I was wrong! From now on, I will avoid Su Yuan whenever I see him. Please spare my life!"

Blood Soul True Monarch spoke with a mixture of fear and trepidation, his tone extremely humble.

But the old woman showed no intention of communicating with him, and clenched her aged hand again.

With a shrill scream that could not be heard, Blood Soul True Monarch's body suddenly shrank, turning into a bead mixed with blood and gray.

Immediately afterwards, the forces inside the bead repelled each other, separating it into two beads, one gray and one red.

The next second, the two beads, each the size of a baby's fist, transformed into two streaks of light and swiftly fell into the wooden box.

Su Yuan stared intently at the two beads.

Then, on the inner wall of the gray bead, the terrified face of the Blood Soul True Lord would appear from time to time.

Inside the red bead, a baby sleeps soundly with its eyes closed, surrounded by shimmering blood.

Su Yuan judged that the former should be the soul of Blood Soul True Monarch, while the latter was the other party's physical body and nascent soul.

According to Su Yuan's understanding, the soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator should reside inside the Nascent Soul.

The fact that the two are now separated can only mean one thing... Blood Soul True Monarch is dead, and his death was not peaceful!
His soul no longer possesses the possibility of possession and rebirth; only pure soul power and the memories of this person's entire life remain.

Thinking of this person, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel his mouth go dry.

A terrifying being, conservatively estimated to be at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, just died like that?
If it was Wuluo Zhenjun's true form that did this, he could understand.

But the old woman in front of us is merely an incarnation that was sent into the Heavenly Law World by some means!

A single avatar can instantly kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator...

This terrifying being, who rules the most worlds and is known as the Undying One, truly deserves to be one of the strongest Nascent Soul cultivators in the Blue Star Federation.

Su Yuan was extremely grateful that the other party was an ally. If he had been an enemy of the Blue Star Federation, he would not have known how he could have won against such a terrifying being.
