Bitter Realm: A Happy Person Traveling Across China

Guiliang Military Prefecture.

In the wedding hall, after the deathly silence, lies the deathly silence and chaos before a volcanic eruption.

The red silk and red wedding decorations throughout the hall now reflected the rapidly expanding, glaring dark red bloodstain on the ground, as well as Feng Qianji's gradually losing warmth, creating an extremely eerie and regrettable scene.

The smiles on the guests' faces had long since frozen and shattered, turning into expressions of shock and bewilderment, their mouths agape.

Gui Liang Tianxia, ​​who should have been one of the happiest protagonists today, had a livid face, his chest heaving violently, and his angry eyes almost spitting fire!

He stared intently at Feng Qianji's still-warm body on the ground, then looked at his son and daughter-in-law, who were still in shock.

What a shame, what a shame!

On the day of the wedding of the young master of the Ghost Liang Military Mansion, at a celebratory banquet where heroes from all over the world gathered, such a shocking murder occurred, and the one who was assassinated was none other than the young master of their Ghost Liang Military Mansion.

Fortunately, in the end only Feng Qianji died, but it was not as simple as just the death of one Feng Qianji.

This completely trampled on the face and prestige of his Guiliang Military Prefecture!

Regardless of any hidden motives behind this matter, and regardless of why Yu Ren Fei Jing went mad...

Yu Renfei's knife struck Gui Liang's military headquarters squarely in the heart, and in front of the entire martial arts world, it was a resounding slap in the face to Gui Liang Tianxia!

"Guards!" Gui Liang Tianxia roared suddenly, his voice like thunder, "Chase after him! You must capture Yu Ren Fei Jing!"

Upon hearing Gui Liang Tianxia's order, the Gui Liang military guards, who had been unable to contain themselves, along with some Jianghu diners eager to show their loyalty, all responded in unison and set off to chase after Yu Ren Fei Jing, who was fleeing outside.

Seeing that Yu Renfei was about to be in danger, Mu Shaoai and Tan Wuyu quickly flashed to the door and blocked him.

"Wait a minute! Please hear me out!" Mu Shaoai quickly said.

Almost simultaneously, Tan Wuyu stepped forward and stood beside Mu Shaoai, saying in a deep voice, "Lord, please calm down! This matter is suspicious; please refrain from taking action for now!"

Just as the two tried to stop them, an even faster figure—Deer King Bo Hanbo—emerged from the door like an arrow, heading to find Yu Ren Fei Jing.

Gui Liang Tianxia, ​​enraged beyond belief, laughed coldly. He stared intently at Mu Shaoai and Tan Wuyu, his voice snarling through clenched teeth: "Mu Shaoai! Tan Wuyu! What else is there to say? On my son's wedding day, in full view of everyone, you committed murder, staining the wedding hall with blood! Tell me, what else is there to say?"

The last sentence was a roar, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

Mu Shaoai was extremely anxious, but she could only grit her teeth and plead, "Lord of the Manor! Yu Renfeijing's condition was clearly abnormal just now. Please, Lord of the Manor, calm your anger and give us some time to find out the truth!"

Tan Wuyu immediately chimed in, his tone steady yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Lord, Yu Renfeijing is a pillar of the righteous path, always upholding justice. His actions today are utterly abnormal. Please, Lord, postpone the assassination order. The Pharmacist and I are willing to stake our lives on bringing Yu Renfeijing back as soon as possible, investigating the matter thoroughly, and giving the Ghost Liang Military Command and all the heroes of the world a clear and transparent explanation!"

At this moment, Huangfu Xiaochan, the master of the remnant forest who had been silently observing, also stepped forward slowly.

He gently patted Gui Liangtianxia's shoulder, which was tense with anger, his voice low yet carrying a soothing strength: "Old friend, calm down for now. I also find this matter strange. Let's give Mu Shaoai and Tan Wuyu a chance to find out the truth!"

Gui Liangtianxia's chest heaved violently as his gaze swept across the faces of Mu Shaoai, Tan Wuyu, and Huangfu Xiaochan, his eyes filled with uncertain emotions.

While directly ordering the pursuit and killing of Yu Renfeijing would be satisfying, it would inevitably offend Mu Shaoai, Tan Wuyu, and others. Moreover, a forced pursuit might not even succeed and could push things to an even more uncontrollable state. Now that only one diner has died, there's no need for that...

(Luckily, Gui Liang Tianxia was inherently evil, so he had to turn evil eventually. You can't blame Gui Liang Tianxia for wanting to kill his friends; his carefully raised son died, and although he wasn't his biological son, he had raised him for so many years and had developed feelings for him. Yet they all defended the murderer, Yu Ren Fei Jing. Gui Liang Tianxia probably decided to drop the pretense and just kill these hypocrites.)

Just as Gui Liangtianxia was struggling internally and the situation was at a stalemate, on the other side—

The bride, Yan Qingcheng, was already terrified and her face turned pale. She clung tightly to Gui Liangfeiyu's arms, her delicate body trembling slightly. Her veil had already slipped off in the chaos, revealing her pretty face, which was filled with fear.

Although Gui Liangfei was still shaken and his back was soaked with cold sweat, as the young master of the Gui Liang family, he forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, gently patted his wife's back, and comforted her in a soft voice, "Yan'er, don't be afraid, I'm here, it's alright now."

After calming his wife down, Gui Liangfeiyu turned his gaze to Ye Jinming.

He clearly remembered that at the last moment before the blade struck his body, Ye Jinming flashed and saved him.

Then, Gui Liang Feiyu bowed deeply to Ye Jinming, his tone sincere and excited: "Thank you so much, Young Master Ye, for saving me. Otherwise, I would already be a corpse. Feiyu is here to express my deepest gratitude to you!"

Ye Jinming smiled slightly, gently waving his black fan, his tone calm yet tinged with amusement: "Young Master Gui Liang, you flatter me. You should thank yourself."

Gui Liangfei was taken aback upon hearing this, and then recalled his bold and magnanimous response when Ye Jinming teased him on Ping Mountain about whether he was afraid of being implicated by the Demon Realm.

At the time, I thought it was just ordinary politeness. I never imagined that the good deed I planted that day would bear the fruit of saving my life!

Thinking of this, he was filled with emotion, and his gratitude and respect for Ye Jinming deepened even further.

"Young Master is too kind." Gui Liang Feiyu straightened up, his gaze resolute. "Regardless of the circumstances, this kindness is like a second birth! From this day forward, whatever Young Master Ye commands, as long as it does not violate chivalry and righteousness, nor does it harm heaven and reason, Gui Liang Feiyu will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

At this moment, Gui Liangtianxia, ​​who had barely suppressed his anger, also came over.

He first glanced at his son, confirming he was unharmed, and felt somewhat relieved. Then he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Ye Jinming, his tone complex, containing both gratitude and the reserve and scrutiny of a powerful figure: "Young Master Ye, the situation was critical just now, thank you for saving my son. This time, the Ghost Liang Military Bureau owes you a tremendous favor. What Yu'er said is exactly what I meant. If you ever need anything in the future, Young Master, the Ghost Liang Military Bureau will certainly do its utmost to help."

His words carried considerable weight, amounting to a promise made on behalf of the entire Guiliang Military Prefecture.

Ye Jinming closed his folding fan, gave a perfunctory bow, and said in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant: "You are too kind, Lord. It was an emergency, and the situation was critical at the time, so there was no time to think things through. However... having this Steward Feng take the blame for you has ultimately resulted in the loss of one of your capable officers. I hope you will not blame me for my abrupt actions."
