Soul Loss Syndrome had just awakened Xiao Jingyan three years ago, and her reaction was truly intriguing.
It seemed that today’s Good Show was only just beginning.
"Mother, how are you feeling?" Xiao Yifeng asked with concern, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Xiao Jingyan smiled faintly. "Thanks to the care of the Healers, I am recovering well."
Her tone was calm, as if the earlier wedding farce had never occurred, as if she hadn’t noticed Xiao Yifeng’s current embarrassment and panic.
"That's good to hear." Xiao Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief but dared not meet Xiao Jingyan’s eyes. "Mother, Jin'er and I have some matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave."
Xiao Jingyan nodded, watching the two depart with a cold gaze that held no warmth.
I stood by, locking eyes with Xiao Jingyan.
Her expression was complex, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
I felt a stir in my heart and was about to speak when I saw her gently shake her head, signaling me not to act rashly. Understanding her cue, I silently stepped aside and observed the unfolding situation.
Time ticked by, and the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense.
Xiao Zhiyuan’s condition showed no signs of improvement, and the expressions of those present became more grim, filled with anxiety.
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng and Su Jin re-entered the hall.
Both appeared hurried and serious, as if they had something important to announce.
"Everyone," Xiao Yifeng said loudly, his voice trembling slightly, "after careful consideration, Jin'er and I have decided to proceed with the wedding."
At these words, the hall erupted in an uproar.
"Yifeng, are you crazy?" someone shouted angrily. "Your father is still at the Healer's, uncertain between life and death, and you have the nerve to think about getting married!"
"Exactly! What do you think this will do to your father? What about the Xiaoyao Sect?"
"You are simply out of your mind!"
The crowd was filled with accusations, their anger palpable.
Xiao Yifeng's expression remained resolute. "Precisely because of this, we should complete the wedding. Father would want to see us married; he would want to see the Xiaoyao Sect have a future."
I watched this scene with cold eyes, sneering inwardly.
Xiao Yifeng, oh Xiao Yifeng, your shamelessness is truly astonishing.
To achieve your goals, you spare no effort.
Just as the crowd continued to argue, Xiao Jingyan suddenly spoke up.
"Very well." Her voice was not loud, but it clearly resonated throughout the hall, laced with a hint of mockery and coldness. Everyone froze, unable to believe their ears.
Xiao Jingyan slowly stood up, her gaze piercing as she scanned the room. A powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall.
"Since you insist on getting married, then go ahead," she said, each word deliberate and chilling, as if pulled from an ice cellar, sending shivers down the spine.
Xiao Yifeng was overjoyed. "Thank you for your understanding, Mother!"
Su Jin also wore a delighted smile. "Thank you, Sect Leader."
The two hurriedly approached Xiao Jingyan, ready to bow in respect.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred.
A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Jingyan's eyes, and her aura shifted dramatically, becoming as fierce as a drawn sword, radiating power.
"Kneel!" she commanded sharply, her voice booming like thunder throughout the hall.
Xiao Yifeng and Su Jin were caught off guard, collapsing to their knees with pale faces, trembling uncontrollably.
The room fell silent; everyone was stunned by this unexpected turn of events, not daring to breathe.
I squinted my eyes, a flicker of anticipation rising within me.
A good show was about to unfold.
