As they chatted, all the guests arrived, and the wedding banquet was about to begin.

After being informed by a servant, Jiang Xiaochuan, Zhuge Jingxing, and others arrived at the front yard.

Just as the servants responsible for registration outside the mansion were about to get up and return to the mansion to close the gate, they saw another group of people walking over.

There were more than a dozen people who came, led by a hot young woman in revealing clothes.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the servant looked puzzled and re-examined the registration book in his hand, confirming once again that, apart from Jiang Xiaochuan, all the guests who had received invitations had arrived.

So, the people walking towards Zhuge's residence now are those who came uninvited.

Given the Zhuge family's status, anyone who could associate with them would certainly not be an ordinary person. Therefore, even if the visitor was not invited, the servants of the mansion would not dare to take it upon themselves to expel them.

"May I ask who you are?"

One of the older servants stepped forward and asked.

The woman in the lead glanced at him coldly but didn't speak. Instead, the tall, menacing-looking man behind her shouted:

"With the three leaders of the Kowloon Gang right in front of you, you lowly servant, why don't you get out of my way!"

As he spoke, he opened his large hand and slapped the servant away.

Although the mansion gate was some distance from the courtyard where the guests had gathered, everyone who came to the Zhuge family for the banquet today was a martial artist with profound cultivation. Therefore, the commotion outside the gate naturally alerted them.

"The Kowloon Gang? What are they doing here?"

"Today is a joyous occasion for the Zhuge family. Could it be that the Nine Dragons Gang is here to cause trouble?"

"I don't think so! Although the Kowloon Gang is quite powerful, it's still slightly inferior to the Zhuge family. I think the Kowloon Gang probably wants to take this opportunity to reconcile with the Zhuge family!"

As several guests whispered among themselves, the group claiming to be from the Kowloon Gang appeared before them.

Zhuge Jin, the head of the Zhuge family, and his cousin Zhuge Qi both looked at the woman leading the group, their expressions rather unpleasant.

“Yu Lengjiao, the invitations sent by my Zhuge family did not include the Nine Dragons Gang. What is the meaning of your unauthorized intrusion into the Zhuge residence?” Zhuge Qi questioned with a serious expression.

Yu Lengjiao, the third-ranking dragon, glanced at Zhuge Jin, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Patriarch Jin hasn't spoken yet, but you, Zhuge Qi, have already spoken first. Could it be that you're the one in charge of the Zhuge family now?"

"--you!"

Yu Lengjiao's words instantly enraged Zhuge Qi. If Zhuge Jin hadn't raised his hand to stop him in time, he probably would have attacked with his palm.

"What brings the three dragon heads to our door at this hour?"

This time, it was Zhuge Jin who was asking the questions.

"Of course I've come to offer my congratulations!"

Yu Lengjiao laughed and said, "Such a joyous occasion as your son's marriage, yet Patriarch Jin didn't even send anyone to inform the Nine Dragons Gang. It's clear that our two families' decades-long friendship has become so distant. It's truly heartbreaking."

Zhuge Jin glanced at the guests watching the spectacle on both sides and said in a calm tone, "Since the three dragon heads have come to offer their congratulations, the Zhuge family naturally welcomes them. Please, the three dragon heads, take your seats."

Seeing Zhuge Jin say this, Yu Lengjiao chuckled and said no more. She led her subordinates to the side and joined the guests.

When the guests around saw Yu Lengjiao swaying her graceful figure as she walked over, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes, and they all moved a few steps to the left and right to keep a sufficient distance from her.

Yu Lengjiao seemed used to everyone's actions and didn't care at all. After finding his seat, he smiled and looked in the direction where Zhuge Jin was.

Yu Lengjiao's arrival was just a minor incident; it did not delay the auspicious time or hinder the formal proceedings of the wedding.

Just as the newlyweds, dressed in their wedding attire, were about to perform the wedding ceremony, a young man's voice suddenly rang out from among the guests:

"Wait! I don't agree to this wedding! Shi Rui can't marry him!!"

Everyone was stunned at first, and then looked at the person who spoke with disbelief.

I don't know if they've eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, daring to cause trouble at Zhuge's house at this time.

At this moment, an unassuming old man stood up and walked out under everyone's gaze.

As he walked, the old man raised his hand and ripped off the human skin mask from his face, revealing his true appearance.

Jiang Xiaochuan, who was mingling among the guests, then saw that what was hidden under that skin was actually a young face with distinct features.

Two men and one woman, three young people of similar age, appeared at the same wedding banquet, which made Jiang Xiaochuan quickly imagine a drama of love and hate.

Jiang Xiaochuan then glanced at the groom, Zhuge Yunxuan, before shaking his head and saying to Zhuge Jingxing beside him, "Don't worry. This kid isn't as handsome as your second brother, so the bride probably won't run off with him."

Jiang Xiaochuan's seemingly comforting words left Zhuge Jingxing somewhat amused and exasperated.

In his view, Yu Shirui and his second brother were truly in love, so he naturally didn't think this suddenly appearing kid could do anything.

However, this kid's disruption added a flaw to what should have been a perfect wedding, which angered Zhuge Jingxing, who had a close relationship with his second brother since childhood.

Of course, those who shared the same feelings were Zhuge Jingxing and Zhuge Yunxuan's father, Zhuge Jin, and his cousin, Zhuge Qi.

Of course, there were also Yu Shirui's parents, who were even more furious than the Zhuge family, as well as Yu Wei, the patriarch of the Yu family.

Although the Yu family is also a major family at the Iron level, compared with the Zhuge family, they are simply insignificant.

Therefore, this marriage alliance with the Zhuge family was a golden opportunity for the Yu family to rise to prominence.

Destroying this marriage would be detrimental to their family's development, and they absolutely will not allow this to happen!

Yu Shirui's father, Yu Qifeng, immediately stepped forward, angrily pointing at the young man and scolding, "Where did this brat come from? Don't you know where you are? How dare you run wild here? If it weren't for this joyous occasion, I would have killed you with one blow! Hurry up and kowtow to Patriarch Zhuge to admit your mistake!"

"Kneel down and admit your mistake?"

The young man looked at Zhuge Yunxuan with a face full of grief and indignation and said in a stern voice: "I, Han Xiuyuan, would rather die than kowtow to the father of the enemy who wiped out my clan!"

These words caused an uproar among the audience.

Zhuge Yunxuan looked at Han Xiuyuan and said coldly, "Don't you dare to make false accusations! I don't even know who you are, so how could I possibly kill your people!"

Upon hearing the name 'Han Xiuyuan,' all the Yu family members present, including the bride Yu Shirui, were startled, and their expressions became momentarily unnatural.

Although this awkwardness was quickly concealed, it was still noticed by Zhuge Jin.

The young man named Han Xiuyuan didn't seem to be lying. As the successor he was grooming, he knew Zhuge Yunxuan's every move perfectly, if not exactly.

Once Zhuge Yunxuan has committed a major act like wiping out an entire clan, it will be impossible to hide it from him.

Then it becomes obvious who the real culprit was in annihilating Han Xiuyuan's clan.
