Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Sect Master Fan Yu and Zuo Jinghe were terribly worried. Hao Rong was no ordinary disciple; he was the Nanxing Emperor's beloved child. He had just returned to the sect and was gone within two days. How could they explain this to the Nanxing Emperor and his empress?

"Have you found out who did it?" Zuo Jinghe asked hurriedly when he saw several disciples from Fengli coming back.

The three disciples shook their heads, their eyes red. Hao Rong was not only their senior sister, but also their dream lover. They were overjoyed to have her back this time. Now separated by the Yin and Yang, and without even a trace of her, they felt heartbroken and grief-stricken beyond words.

"How is this possible! A bunch of idiots! Keep investigating!" Master Zuo Feng's eyes were red with rage. He had accepted several carts of treasures from the Nanxing Empress and had just reassured her with a letter. Now he was in such a mess. Where was his dignity? Who on earth was so clueless that he dared to kill even Zuo Jinghe's apprentice? He would tear that person into pieces!

"Second senior brother, did Hao Rong say anything to you before he died? Or did the Emperor and Empress Nanxing mention anything special in their letters?" Fan Yu pondered for a long time and then asked.

Cuizhu Peak is located at the seventh of the twelve peaks of Wangxi Mountain, and only a single mountain road connects the twelve peaks. For this person to sneak in and kick Hao Rong off Wangqing Cliff, just five miles from the sect's forbidden area, without making a sound, he would have to avoid the sight of at least eight peak masters. How could that be possible? Even he couldn't do it! What powerful figure had Hao Rong offended?

After Zuo Jinghe was reminded by Sect Master Jing, they remembered a few strange things.

"In previous years, Rong'er wasn't very active in the sect competition. This time, the Emperor and Empress of Nanxing specifically asked me to summon her back in the name of the competition. At the time, I wondered why they had to go to such lengths. Later, I figured the Emperor and Empress had their reasons for the request, so I didn't think much about it. Ever since Rong'er came back, she's been absent-minded and not as cheerful as before. She locks herself in her room all day and doesn't go anywhere. When I asked her, she said she was practicing to prepare for the competition. I was happy about that for a while. Now I think maybe she encountered something in Nanxing, so the Emperor and Empress of Nanxing asked her to come back to save her life."

Fan Yu thought it was quite possible. However, with the sect competition approaching, what was he supposed to do now that this had happened? The weather was getting warmer, so the body wouldn't stay there long. He didn't have to keep it that way forever.

At this moment, a disciple came to report that Qi Jianshen and Qin Guanzhi had returned. Fufeng Jianxian and the head of Qingfeng Pavilion also arrived.

"Who are you talking about?" Fan Yu asked in surprise. How could these two be here? Then he suddenly became happy.

He had originally invited Xuantian Sect, the world's foremost sect, to attend the event, but unfortunately, Sect Master Yan was in seclusion. Now, two important figures had arrived—perfect! He quickly had them invited to Zhengfeng. He then instructed Zuo Jinghe to place Hao Rong's body in the cold storage and personally return her to Nanxing after the competition was over.

At the same time, Yangcheng in Nanxing Kingdom was in a state of jubilation.

The Prince of Zhenbei and his wife finally got married.

The streets were decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and drums and music were playing. The elm trees along the road were wrapped with red silk. The crowds of people who came to see the relatives crowded the inns, restaurants and teahouses on both sides.

The wedding procession set out from another courtyard of the Zhenbei Palace. The bride was welcomed into the Zhenshan Garden by tall horses and a sedan chair carried by eight people.

This was the second time that Ruan Chuyin wore a phoenix crown and a red veil on her head, but the excitement she felt was no less than the first time.

Today, she was up and busy before dawn. Same routine, different mood. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

In the banquet hall, everyone except Wei Shizhang and the Xiang family was present, even Xiang Jianzhang who was recuperating in Licheng and Wu Daozi who went to Wangxi Sect had returned.

Kong Huiyin and his wife arrived first. He hurried back and forth to bring Lu Yuhe to help his sister-in-law. Lu Yuhe had eaten melons along the way, and even after arriving in Yangcheng, she didn't forget to stop by the Zhenbei Palace to take a look at the ruins under reconstruction. The battle was fierce.

Along the way, they met Lu Huaisi and the twins Wu Shaoyu and Wu Zhifan who came back one after another to eat melons.

Lu Huaisi was originally planning to make a fortune at the Wangxi Sect's competition, but unfortunately it conflicted with his fifth brother's wedding, so he did not hesitate to give up the temptation of money and come to the banquet.

The whole family gathered together, and it had been so lively for a long time.
