The useless second daughter of the Hua family

At midnight, a wedding procession walked along the street, with a sedan chair, two bearers, and a groom riding a tall horse.

The streets were deserted, without any music or celebration. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was not a normal wedding procession.

This was Hua Miaomiao's third time riding in a bridal sedan. She felt helpless, but after all, she had experience and was familiar with the process.

"Why are you so nervous? I'm not really asking you to marry me." The lion-tiger beast was held in her arms and was barely strangled to death, so he had to speak out to remind her.

Hua Miaomiao curiously raised it in front of her eyes and their eyes met.

"So you can speak? Then why did you pretend to be mute before?"

The lion-tiger curled his lips and gave her an idiotic look.

"Xiaoyu is not the same as before. If I open my mouth to speak, aren't you afraid of scaring her?"

Hua Miaomiao didn't care. After all, compared to a tiger with claws and wings, being able to speak was nothing. She thought Xiaoyu would definitely accept it well.

At noon, they stayed at a restaurant in Xinliu Town and heard the diners around them mention an unwritten rule in the local area.

Xinliu Town is divided into east and west sides, connected by a stone arch bridge in the middle.

Trade flows between the east and the west, and interpersonal relationships are normal, but there is never any marriage.

This was not a rule that existed in ancient times, but in recent years, whenever a sedan chair passed over the bridge, something unusual would happen. Some brides were frightened to death, and some grooms fell into the water. Although no one was killed, everyone was frightened and tacitly formed this rule.

Hua Miaomiao looked at the Imperial Master standing beside her, her head tilted, and an evil idea came to her mind.

"Master Imperial Master, it's a rare opportunity for you to have a private visit. Why don't you show some sympathy for the people?"

The Imperial Master picked up the teacup, stood up and walked to the next table without responding to her words.

Hua Miaomiao followed without giving up and continued to lobby.

"How about you take a look at what's going on?"

"Don't cause trouble. Before Xiuzhu and the others left, I promised to keep a good eye on you."

A few days ago, Hua Niaoniao received a message from Hua Ruling. The letter did not say the specific situation, but only asked her to go there as soon as possible.

After discussing, the two sisters decided that Xiuzhu Pifu would follow Hua Niaoniao, while Hua Miaomiao would stay behind to drag the National Master. After all, the National Master was very capable, and with him around, nothing would happen to Hua Miaomiao.

Hua Miaomiao, adhering to the principle that less is more, will certainly not miss this opportunity.

"I don't care. I'm going to find out."

The Imperial Master saw that there was no turning back and could only follow her.

So, we have the current situation.

Hua Miaomiao placed the liger on her lap and stroked its fur as she would a dog.

"You said Xiaoyu is alone in the inn, is that okay?"

"Don't worry, she has already fallen asleep and won't wake up before dawn. She is no longer a mortal, her spiritual power is abundant and pure, and ordinary monsters cannot hurt her."

"You seem to be very interested in her."

Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but complain, and rubbed its round head with more strength.

The liger squinted its eyes in enjoyment and wagged its tail contentedly.

Suddenly, it felt a chill. It stood up and jumped to Hua Miaomiao's feet, staring at the sedan door with wary eyes.

The bridal sedan had reached the middle of the arch bridge. Yu Yao and Wang Chao put the sedan down and stood guard beside it, one in front and one behind.

A slender white hand lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, revealing the Imperial Master in a bright red wedding gown. Under the moonlight, his mask reflected a bright glow.

"Master Imperial Master, no groom would wear a mask to welcome his bride?"

"I'm not really going to marry you, are you planning on marrying me for real?"

There was a hint of disdain in his words, as if he was afraid of being depended on.

"I……"

Never mind, knowing that he was forced to come here, she would not bother with him. After Hua Miaomiao comforted herself, she forced a smile.

"If it really comes later, have you thought of any countermeasures?"

"No!" A straightforward answer.

"that……"

Hua Miaomiao was interrupted as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I have already inquired about it. The only groom who fell into the water was pushed into the water by the rioting crowd. So the target was not the groom."

Very good, very good, either he is the groom or she is the bride.

"then what do I do?"

"You came here on your own. Haven't you thought of a solution?"

Hua Miaomiao gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "Am I not relying on you too? I won't be angry, I won't be angry. If I get sick from anger, no one will be able to help me."

"I know, you've got to be kidding me, I... Ouch!"

The wind was blowing hard, and the sedan chair was blown sideways. The lion-tiger beast suddenly fell to the feet of the imperial teacher, who threw it into Yu Yao's arms with disgust.

Hua Miaomiao was thrown all over the place, holding on to the sides of the sedan chair with both hands. At the same time, a ghostly voice came from her ears, "Li Niang, is that you?"

As the sound got closer, Hua Miaomiao felt something right next to her ear. The cold air blew gently behind her ear, making her hair stand on end. She could no longer bear the stimulation and screamed continuously.

When the imperial teacher heard the noise, he held onto the sedan door with one hand and jumped in.

Hua Miaomiao didn't see clearly what came in, and stretched out his hand to punch. Fortunately, the national teacher was quick-witted and blocked it with a palm.

"It's me, don't be afraid."

His entry seemed to make the evil creature even more angry, and the sedan chair shook even more violently, as if it was about to rise from the ground.

The two demons and one beast outside the sedan became anxious when they saw that there was no response after the Imperial Master went in.

"Hua Miaomiao, are you okay?" Wang Chao shouted towards the sedan chair that had already flown into the air.

The Imperial Master held Hua Miaomiao steady with one hand and supported the sedan chair with the other, and said to the people outside: "Go back to the inn first, we will go see what is going on."

The bridal sedan flew high into the sky, heading somewhere. Hua Miaomiao never expected that she would ride in the bridal sedan three times, each time more exciting than the last.

"Well, it doesn't seem so bad anymore. You can let me go now."

After Hua Miaomiao's reminder, the Imperial Master seemed to realize that he had almost embraced the other person in his arms. He let go of her hand unnaturally and moved to the side.

Hua Miaomiao felt disliked again. She turned away in annoyance, lifted the curtain and looked at the stars outside the window. It was the first time she had seen the stars so closely, as if she could pick one with her hand.

"What a nice view……"

"Yes, it's really beautiful." The national teacher also came over and sighed sincerely, "Do you want it?"

"What?" Hua Miaomiao turned around and looked up at him, not knowing what was going on. He asked so naturally, as if he could really pick one for her if she nodded. She vaguely remembered that someone once said he would pick a star for her.

"Why do I have to wear a mask all the time?" Hua Miaomiao thought to herself and asked casually.

The Imperial Master lowered his head. The distance between them was so close that he could clearly see himself in the other's eyes.

He doesn't have those pink eyes, he is not Tao Yao, Hua Miaomiao thought to herself. For some reason, she suddenly missed that person a little.

"I hope that the person who takes off my mask is my destined one."

"Uh..." I don't know how to describe it. This Imperial Master is so innocent and a little cute.

"Do you really want to see what I look like under the mask?" the national teacher asked seemingly unintentionally.

"I dare not even think about it! You should just keep waiting for your sweetheart to lift the lid... no, lift the mask."

The Imperial Master turned around with a look of disappointment, leaned against the sedan on his side, and said no more.

The atmosphere in the sedan was eerily quiet for a moment.

Suddenly, the sedan chair accelerated and fell downwards. Hua Miaomiao was not paying attention and fell out.

The Imperial Master stepped forward and chased after them. He held Hua Miaomiao with one hand and tightly grasped the edge of the sedan with the other.

The feeling of weightlessness brought by the rapid fall made Hua Miaomiao dizzy. She looked up at the master of the state. His red robe was blown in four directions by the wind, and his flying black hair lost its usual elegance. His half-exposed arms had veins due to excessive force. His half-exposed delicate face, with his jawline clenched due to force, was so beautiful under the moonlight that people could not take their eyes away.

"Master Imperial Master, I don't think I know your name yet."

Although it was not the right time, Hua Miaomiao really wanted to ask.

"It's already this hour, can you please think of something serious?"

You can hear that he is gritting his teeth, and I don't know if it's because of the effort or anger.

"Now that I have gone to the underworld, I should know who my fellow travelers are."

The Imperial Master didn't want to pay attention to her. He closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before uttering a word.

"Snow."

"what?"

"I said, you can call me Xue, I don't have a last name."
