I turned to leave, a cold smile forming in my heart.
"Wait! Shanshan, don't go. Don't leave Xiaoyao Sect. I will definitely give you an explanation," came the voice of the former Sect Leader, Xiao Jingyan!
I paused for a moment but did not turn back.
"Yifeng, hurry, go check on your father!" Xiao Jingyan's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the commotion in the hall and interrupting my thoughts.
It was only then that I noticed that Xiao Jingyan, who had been slumped in a wheelchair, had somehow awakened. The dullness in her eyes was replaced by a bright gleam.
Meanwhile, the once arrogant Acting Sect Leader, Xiao Yifeng, now seemed drained of all strength, collapsing to the ground with a pale face, trembling lips, and eyes filled with terror.
Xiao Jingyan's gaze was clear and her tone resolute, a stark contrast to her earlier dazed state; it was as if she had transformed into a different person.
Xiao Yifeng froze at her words, and then, as if grasping onto a lifeline, he hurriedly called for inner disciples to take the foaming-at-the-mouth and unconscious Xiao Zhiyuan to the Healer. He then stumbled towards Xiao Jingyan while dragging Su Jin along.
"Mother, you finally woke up!" His voice trembled with excitement and barely concealed emotion. "This is Su Jin, your daughter-in-law."
Su Jin lowered her head and spoke softly, "Greetings, Sect Leader."
Xiao Jingyan's gaze shifted between the two of them, a fleeting sharpness flashing in her eyes as her lips curled into a cold smile.
"Good, good, good," she said slowly, each word seeming to be squeezed out through clenched teeth, carrying an icy chill.
I watched the scene unfold, a cold smile creeping across my face.
The recently awakened Xiao Jingyan, after three years of suffering from Soul Loss Syndrome, certainly had an interesting reaction.
It seemed that today’s Good Show had only just begun.
"Mother, how are you feeling?" Xiao Yifeng asked with concern, trying to ease the tension in the air.
Xiao Jingyan smiled faintly. "Thanks to the Healers' careful attention, 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 disarray and panic.
"That's good to hear." Xiao Yifeng sighed in relief but dared not meet Xiao Jingyan's gaze. "Mother, Jin'er and I have some matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave."
Xiao Jingyan nodded, watching them depart with a cold gaze that held no warmth.
I stood to the side, locking eyes with Xiao Jingyan.
Her expression was complex; it seemed 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 heavy.
Xiao Zhiyuan's condition showed no signs of improvement, and the expressions of those present grew increasingly grim, filled with anxiety.
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng and Su Jin reappeared in the grand hall.
The two looked hurried and serious, as if they had something important to announce.
"Everyone," Xiao Yifeng said loudly, though his voice trembled slightly, "after careful consideration, Jin'er and I have decided to proceed with the wedding."
This statement caused an uproar in the room.
"Yifeng, are you out of your mind?" 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 about your father? What about Xiaoyao Sect?"
"You are simply insane!"
The crowd erupted in 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 Xiaoyao Sect have a future."
I watched this scene with cold eyes, a sneer forming in my heart.
