Free Web NovelChapter 2022: Chapter 2022: Arriving Just in Time!
As for why Qi Rong was like this, the reason was simple.
Ever since Qin Nishang arrived, no matter where they were, the first person everyone noticed was always Qin Nishang!
Even when they went out and walked down the street, most of the attention was also on Qin Nishang!
Qi Rong was proud and arrogant, narrow‑minded by nature, so of course she was extremely upset!
You had to know, she was by no means ugly; more importantly, she was the daughter of the Qi Family Head, while Qin Nishang was just an adopted daughter!
What right did she have to steal her spotlight!
What she couldn’t understand even more was why her own father had to take that girl in as an adopted daughter!
Now, though, she understood: her father only wanted to use her as a bargaining chip, a chip to latch onto a greater power!
And now, everything was unfolding exactly as her father had wished!
In truth, it wasn’t as though she herself didn’t want to marry Ni Sheng; it was just a pity that he didn’t fancy her!
That made the jealousy and hatred in her heart burn even fiercer!
At the same time, there was also a peculiar thrill!
Because she knew that Qin Nishang had someone she loved!
Right now, seeing Qin Nishang’s dazed, pained expression, she was delighted—delighted to the extreme!
Qin Nishang simply ignored Qi Rong’s words.
"Qin Nishang, I wonder if that sweetheart of yours knows you’re about to get married?"
Qi Rong went on with a laugh:
"Tell me, what do you think he’ll do when he finds out?"
"Get out!"
Hearing that, Qin Nishang snapped coldly.
"You..." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
At those words, Qi Rong’s willow brows shot up, a ball of fury roaring to life inside her!
"What, you want to make a move?"
Qin Nishang shot her a disdainful glance.
Qi Rong really did want to hit her, but she didn’t dare!
Forget Ni Sheng not letting her off—her own father wouldn’t let her off either!
In the end she just gave a cold snort, flung the door open, and stormed out...
After Qi Rong left, Qin Nishang’s tears began to fall on their own!
Of course, she was a strong person; she wasn’t going to give up now!
Even though the hope was slim!
But she had also prepared herself for the worst; she would never allow that young master of the Ni Family to defile her!
Never!
She had even steeled herself to self‑detonate!
"You big bastard! Big lecher! Big scumbag! Where are you!"
Qin Nishang muttered to herself.
She hadn’t expected that before she could seduce that big bastard, she’d first attract Ni Sheng instead!
"Nishang, why haven’t you changed yet!"
Just then, a middle‑aged man pushed the door open and walked in. Behind him trailed a few matron‑like women.
When Qin Nishang saw this man, her eyes went completely cold!
To think that back then she’d even been grateful to him for taking her in; she’d never imagined he’d harbor such darkness in his heart!
Seeing the chill in Qin Nishang’s gaze, the middle‑aged man spoke gently:
"Nishang, I’m doing this for your own good. Once you marry Ni Sheng, you’ll never have to worry about anything again. There are so many people who’d envy you but could never get what you’re getting!"
"Qi Huang, don’t you think you’re being a bit too hypocritical?"
Qin Nishang said mercilessly.
At that, the middle‑aged man’s face instantly turned incomparably dark:
"Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Today, whether you marry or not—you’re marrying!"
He had originally wanted to come persuade Qin Nishang one last time, but he hadn’t expected her to be so ignorant of what was good for her!
"You all, dress her up and change her clothes. The welcoming procession will be here any moment."
Qi Huang tossed out those words and left as well.
...
Before long, cheers erupted outside the Qi Family gates!
The welcoming procession had arrived!
Ni Sheng leapt down from the back of a Blood Horse at First Turn of the Pure Origin Realm, and at his side were several young men of the Ni Family!
Right now, after meticulous grooming, Ni Sheng looked even more handsome and dashing, his bearing extraordinary!
Many young women who had come to watch the spectacle were staring so hard their eyes were burning!
They only hated that the one Ni Sheng had set his sights on wasn’t them!
Qi Rong felt this even more keenly, biting down hard on her silver teeth!
Why?!
At this moment, two matrons were helping a woman covered with a red bridal veil walk over!
Even though he couldn’t see her face, just from her figure alone, Ni Sheng’s eyes went straight!
"Miss Qin, let me help you into the sedan."
Ni Sheng said warmly, extending a hand toward her.
Qin Nishang didn’t speak, but she twisted her body and dodged away.
Ni Sheng’s brows knit slightly, his expression turning a bit ugly.
It had been only a month ago, during a chance encounter on the street, that he had run into Qin Nishang and been stunned as if by a celestial maiden!
After asking around, he learned she was actually the adopted daughter of the Qi Family Head!
So he had personally gone to propose marriage!
When he proposed, she stubbornly refused, saying she already had someone in her heart!
He hadn’t expected that with the wedding at hand, she still didn’t know what was good for her!
"Young Master Ni, don’t mind her. Nishang is a young girl, she’s just shy!"
Qi Huang hurriedly stepped forward and said.
That line did help Ni Sheng out of the awkwardness, so his face didn’t look quite so bad.
Then the two matrons helped Qin Nishang into the bridal sedan.
To avoid further accidents, they skipped the complicated rites; after the simple procedures were done, several men lifted the grand sedan and headed toward the Ni Family estate!
And of course, the entire Qi Family entourage went along.
...
As the welcoming procession made its way toward the Ni Family, Su Chen arrived as well.
He landed outside the city gate and then let the Thunderwing Eagle fly off!
After entering the city, he looked at the bustling streets and murmured:
"Made it just in time!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
These last few days, he had traveled day and night without rest, anxious and on edge, urging the Thunderwing Eagle to fly at full speed, terrified he wouldn’t make it in time!
Fortunately, he’d made it!
"Excuse me, how do I get to the Ni Family estate?"
Seeing someone pass by, Su Chen hurriedly grabbed him and asked.
"Young man, you’re going to the Ni Family to attend the ceremony too, right?"
Hearing this, the man gave Su Chen a once‑over and said.
"That’s right."
Su Chen nodded with a smile.
The man didn’t overthink it and told Su Chen the address of the Ni Family.
"Much appreciated!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
With that, he headed off in the direction of the Ni Family estate...
...
At this moment, although the bridal sedan had yet to enter the gate, the Ni Family estate was already packed with guests!
Even though the Ni Family’s main hall was large enough, there were simply too many guests to fit, so they had no choice but to arrange things out on the Ni Family Martial Training Ground!
When Su Chen arrived at the Ni Family gate, the two guards at the entrance immediately stopped him:
"Please show your invitation."
Likewise, because there were far too many guests and it was impossible to properly receive them all, the Ni Family had stationed their own guards at the gate to handle the guests who had yet to arrive.
Of course, it was also because all the important guests who were supposed to be here were already inside by now.
"I’m really sorry, but I accidentally lost my invitation on the way here."
Su Chen said.
Hearing that, the two guards immediately prepared to drive him off!
Just then, two Spirit Notes worth two hundred thousand each appeared in Su Chen’s hand, and he offered them over with a bright smile.
In the Cangxuan Territory, Spirit Notes were also universally accepted!
When they saw the denomination on those two Spirit Notes, the guards’ eyes lit up at once!
