Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

Zhang Shenglin is unaware that he has been exposed and is diligently playing the role of Zhang Shengchun.

After standing in front of Zhang Heshan's house for a while, Zhang Shengchun found an opportunity to stand with Zhang Shenglin. Having been given the persona of being taciturn, Zhang Shengchun felt really uncomfortable. Several times he wanted to speak directly without thinking, but when he thought of the punishment from the clan, he closed his mouth halfway through.

“Time’s up,” Zhang Shengchun reminded him.

Su Xingze was still wondering what time it was when, a second later, a red procession with music and fanfare came towards Zhang Heshan's house. It was the groom's wedding procession.

Hearing the commotion, the boys standing in front of the Zhang family's gate all turned to look. If those gazes had any warmth, the groom's procession would probably have spontaneously combusted.

The boys didn't say a word, but as if they had rehearsed, they tacitly lined up in several rows and surrounded the wedding procession.

The groom, riding at the head of the procession, wasn't surprised. He laughed and cursed, "These rascals."

The two boys immediately surrounded the groom with smiles, and said to him in a very friendly manner, "Uncle Rong, you know we represent Aunt Shengxue, so we can't be stingy."

"Understood." The groom, Zhang Longrong, turned to look at the clansmen who had come with him to fetch the bride. "Brothers, hurry up and send these brats away. Shengxue is waiting for me to pick her up. We can't keep her waiting."

"Haha, Ah Rong, don't worry, these kids are easy to deal with."

Two tall members of the Zhang family stepped forward, took out gold leaves tied with red strings from their pockets, and handed them out to the boys blocking their way.

"Come on, boys, hurry up and grab your lucky money and stop blocking the road. Look at how eager Ah Rong is. If you don't move aside, Ah Rong won't be able to wait patiently for you to move aside."

The boys who received the lucky money were all smiles. When they heard his words, the leading boys exchanged glances, grinned mischievously, and immediately moved aside. However, the groom had only taken a few steps when he was blocked by the boys again.

The young man in the lead had a cold face and looked at Zhang Longrong on horseback with hostility: "I'm not someone you can just dismiss with a little money. If you want me to move aside, you must answer nine questions about the bride correctly."

"If you have answered any question incorrectly, then please go back, Uncle Rong."

Zhang Longrong straightened his expression and said solemnly, "Let's set the questions."

Boy: "What does the bride hate the most?"

Groom: "Fish."

Zhang Shengxue appears gentle on the outside, but she is actually the tough and fierce Iron Lady of the Zhang family. She is someone who remains calm even when facing countless disgusting and terrifying insects in tombs, but in reality, she has an extreme aversion and disgust towards fish.

The boy then asked, "How do you tell if the bride is angry?"

Without thinking, the groom answered directly, "Look at the movement of your fingers."

"..."

Su Xingze watched the two talking and answering from behind the crowd. The young man had an unfamiliar face, but he was actually Zhang Heshan, the nephew of the bride Zhang Shengxue.

Today is his aunt's big day. He was already unhappy about his aunt getting married, and he would definitely try his best to stop the groom from welcoming the bride. However, the groom knew the bride very well. No matter what difficult questions Zhang Heshan asked, he answered them immediately without any hesitation.

After asking the nine questions, Zhang Heshan's expression was a mixture of relief and sadness. At least from these nine questions, he could see Zhang Longrong's true feelings for his aunt.

The groom passed two challenges before arriving at the bride's house. The tightly closed gate was the final and most crowded part of the wedding procession.

As is customary, the groom's relatives and friends distributed lucky money. Su Xingze mingled among them and also received two or three gold leaves. After receiving the lucky money, the young men very politely made way for him.

Seeing how easily they made way, the groom's expression turned serious.

I took two steps forward and sure enough, I saw an incredibly complex mechanism on the door.

He sighed, thinking he would be able to take the bride away soon; no wonder those brats made way so readily.

He calmed down and carefully observed the mechanism on the door.

Countless tiny steel wires covered the door like a spider web. This mechanism, much like a spider web, activated the entire web by touching just one wire. As the web contracted to trap the triggerer, the mechanisms connected to the wires also activated, unleashing a barrage of terrifying attacks.

The only solution is to find the one safe wire in the wire mesh, but there are hundreds of wires in the mechanism, making it very difficult to find the safe one.

Fortunately, Zhang Longrong had a wealth of experience, and this mechanism didn't stump him for long.

The trap was safely dismantled, and at the same time, the door to the bride's house slowly opened.

The bride, dressed in a dazzling red wedding gown, stood at the door, flanked by her brothers. Upon seeing the groom, their already serious expressions turned even colder.

Zhang Shengxue's older brother, who is also Zhang Heshan's father, held his sister's hand and personally handed her over to Zhang Longrong.

"I'm entrusting Shengxue to you."

The bride and groom rode away on the same horse, and Su Xingze heard a young man from the Zhang family urging his companions on.

"Hurry up, let's go to Uncle Rong's house for a drink."

Su Xingze thought that a large family like the Zhang family would have a very complicated wedding process, but he didn't expect that the wedding was so simple.

Moreover, most of those present at the wedding procession were young people; the bride's parents were nowhere to be seen, and it's unclear why.

It is said that he has never heard anything about the clan chief's wife since he came to the Zhang family. He wonders if the clan chief's wife is low-key or for some other reason.

Zhang Shenglin called out to him and then enthusiastically invited the surrounding boys to go to the wedding banquet together.

Su Xingze was still pondering whether the Zhang family had a patriarch's wife, so he didn't follow. The 'Zhang Shengchun' next to him glanced at him, and then, as if just remembering his current identity, reached out and grabbed him, his tone light and urgent.

"Hey! Xingze, what are you daydreaming about? We're going to Uncle Rong's house for a wedding banquet. If we're late, there won't be any left. You're still daydreaming after everyone else has left. If I hadn't noticed, you'd be going hungry..."

The boy in front of him, who was holding his hand, spoke a long speech, panting heavily. Listening to the boy's incessant chatter, a smile flashed in Su Xingze's eyes.

Compared to the boy's usual concise manner, his incessant rambling in order to portray Zhang Shengchun is a huge sacrifice.

Su Xingze was certain that he had spoken more today than he had in the past month.

Zhang Longrong's family lived in the other direction of the Zhang family's main residence. When Su Xingze and his group arrived, the wedding banquet had already started. Fortunately, they arrived not too late, and there were still a few seats available.

Zhang Shengchun pulled Su Xingze to a seat. Su Xingze keenly noticed that the boys who had been so lively at the bride's door had all fallen silent, their faces bearing the same expression of silence and seriousness.

This atmosphere, however, emanated from the area where the adults were. The adults in the Zhang family were completely different from the still lively teenagers; a heavy atmosphere silently enveloped the entire wedding banquet.

Everyone maintained a subtle silence, gazing at the bride and groom with dark, unwavering eyes.

Although it was called a wedding banquet, it was more like a solemn sacrificial ceremony if you didn't know better.
