Chapter 3680: Sword Fighting Across the Realm (19)
Ning Shu didn't believe a single word of what Qin Nianzhi said. Let alone a single word, she didn't even believe a punctuation mark. Right now she was saying, ‘Eldest Senior Brother, you are so good,’ but the moment Situ Xun appeared, she would toss this ‘eldest senior brother’ to the back of her mind.
In truth, loving or not loving someone else wasn't a mistake, but Ning Shu felt that Qin Nianzhi was simply insulting Chong Xuefeng, time and time again.
"Since we are husband and wife, we are one entity. I do not hope for any deception or concealment to exist between us. Situ Xun harbored ill intentions toward you, are you still associating with him?"
Ning Shu locked her gaze on Qin Nianzhi and asked.
Qin Nianzhi's eyes dodged somewhat at first, then she pursed her lips, and finally said, "We are no longer associating."
"Is that so? If Situ Xun entangles you again, you must firmly refuse him. Since he is seeking revenge for the previous demonic cult leader, he will definitely hurt you."
Ning Shu said without changing her expression.
"I know, Eldest Senior Brother. I will definitely not have any more entanglement with Situ Xun. He lied to me. He is a liar. I will never pay any attention to him again in this life."
Was this making a resolution?
This was clearly acting coquettishly, alright?
Ning Shu truly couldn't help but want to pound her chest. This, this…
"We are getting married in three days, prepare yourself well."
Tell Situ Xun you are getting married, so Situ Xun can hurry up and snatch you away.
Even if Qin Nianzhi wrote in her letters that she wanted to sever all ties of affection and righteousness with Situ Xun, given Situ Xun's thick skin, he would definitely come to snatch the bride.
Just like in the storyline, when Qin Nianzhi became pregnant, would Situ Xun let his woman take his child and marry someone else?
For the sake of Qin Nianzhi's reputation, Chong Xuefeng decided to marry Qin Nianzhi. In fact, this was also Chong Xuefeng bringing humiliation upon himself.
Three days later, Wanjian Manor was once again filled with a joyous atmosphere. After a lapse of two months, Wanjian Manor was hosting a joyous event again.
Ning Shu once again put on the bright red wedding robe, tied her long hair, and hosted the guests with an imposing and dignified appearance.
Wearing her dowry wedding clothes and covered with a bridal veil, Qin Nianzhi slowly arrived at the main hall supported by maids. Now it was time to bow to Heaven and Earth.
Ning Shu and Qin Nianzhi each held one end of the red silk lover's knot and walked into the main hall.
Father Qin sat in the position of the high hall with a smile on his face. Looking at him, one could feel a sense of relief, as if his daughter and son-in-law getting married would allow them to shake off the demonic cult's entanglement.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth."
"Second bow to the High Hall."
"Husband and wife…"
"Wait a minute." A voice interrupted the master of ceremonies. Everyone looked toward the door and saw Situ Xun arriving with numerous members of the demonic cult.
Hearing Situ Xun's voice, Qin Nianzhi immediately swept off her bridal veil, looked at Situ Xun, and said with a voice carrying a hint of crying, "Situ Xun, why did you have to come? I have already severed all ties of affection and righteousness with you. Please do not come to disturb me. I am already going to marry my senior brother."
Ning Shu: …
If you do not know how to speak, then do not speak. Truly, what are you doing?
Ning Shu was simply dumbfounded. In saying this, was she not just admitting that she herself had some entanglements with Situ Xun and the people of the demonic cult?
Anyone with a little bit of a brain wouldn't place the person they were marrying in such an embarrassing situation, especially with her own father sitting in the high hall and so many people from Wanjian Manor present.
Moreover, almost all the sects of the entire martial world were gathered here.
You have to consider the occasion when speaking, girl.
Starting tomorrow, she feared her title as the king of green hats would spread throughout the martial world. Tsk…
Sure enough, Qin Nianzhi only had Situ Xun in her mind. Why was she not feeling sorry for her eldest senior brother at a time like this?
Ning Shu: Hugging myself with a heartache.
Father Qin stood up and said indifferently, "If Cult Leader Situ has come to attend the wedding banquet, please take a seat at the tables. Do not interrupt the newlyweds from holding the ceremony."
Father Qin's attitude toward Situ Xun was neither haughty nor humble, though one could see the disgust toward Situ Xun in his expression.
Situ Xun smiled slightly. Looking at Qin Nianzhi in her wedding dress, he said, "Last time, you also fell into my arms wearing a wedding dress like this. This time, I have brought you a grand gift."
Hearing about a grand gift, Qin Nianzhi couldn't help but shrink back. Last time he mentioned a grand gift, it was to force her to leave with him, to disregard everything and leave with him. And this time? Was he forcing her to leave this time as well?
Qin Nianzhi looked at Ning Shu. She couldn't leave again this time. She had already let her eldest senior brother down once, and she absolutely couldn't let him down again this time. Qin Nianzhi had a premonition that if she truly entangled herself with Situ Xun again, her eldest senior brother would definitely, definitely be very, very disappointed.
She couldn't hurt her eldest senior brother again.
Situ Xun curled the corners of his mouth, appearing exceptionally evil and alluring, while also carrying a deep malice. He clapped his hands, and the subordinates under him immediately carried up an ice coffin.
This ice coffin was carved from a massive block of ice, and inside it, someone seemed to be sleeping.
The ice coffin emitted white, freezing smoke under the sunlight.
Seeing this ice coffin, Father Qin's expression changed drastically. Situ Xun said to Father Qin, "This thing looks familiar, right?"
Qin Nianzhi didn't know who was sleeping inside the ice coffin. She let her imagination run wild, and even thought it might be Situ Xun's lover.
"Who is it?" Qin Nianzhi asked.
"It would be faster to ask your father about this, would you not say, Sect Leader Qin?" Situ Xun looked at Father Qin while grinning broadly and smiling.
Qin Nianzhi looked at her father. Father Qin looked at Situ Xun gloomily. He had flown into a great rage. "Where did you find this?"
Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. This must be the coffin of Qin Nianzhi's mother. Father Qin actually hadn't buried her and kept his beloved wife frozen in an ice vault the entire time. Over ten years, that was truly not an easy feat.
"Back then, it was this woman who caused my adoptive father… it was exactly this kind of venomous woman who caused him to suffer qi deviation, causing my adoptive father to die at a young age. Therefore, I decided to present a grand gift, which is to whip her corpse at her daughter's wedding. I believe this gift will be unforgettable for a lifetime."
Situ Xun said this with a beaming smile on his face. His expression was alluring, but the words he spoke made people feel exceptionally chilled.
To whip the corpse of the bride's mother at someone's wedding, to whip the corpse of someone else's wife.
This truly was quite an excellent idea!
Qin Nianzhi looked at Situ Xun dumbfounded. Was this Situ Xun still the Situ Xun she knew?
How could Situ Xun be so evil? Moreover, Qin Nianzhi never expected that her mother had actually not been buried after dying, but had been kept in an ice vault by her father the entire time.
Although it was her own father, Qin Nianzhi still felt a chill run down her back.
To not let a mother be laid to rest in the earth, and instead constantly finding ways to preserve her remains. Her father truly loved her mother deeply.
Yet her father had never told her, and she had never even seen what her mother looked like. There wasn't even a portrait in the house.
She had originally thought it was because her father was afraid the sight would bring back painful memories.
In short, Qin Nianzhi's heart was a chaotic mess. Situ Xun had come to whip her mother's corpse. It made Qin Nianzhi feel very agonized, extremely agonized.
