The wedding of Fan Wudi concluded in this eerie atmosphere.

Once the ceremony was over, the old patriarch and Long Qiushui, while suppressing the anxiety in their hearts, greeted their guests and left for the Fan Residence. They needed to know what had happened.

Initially, they intended to stay and bless the young couple's wedding.

But now, they couldn't afford to worry about that anymore.

At this moment, Chu Yan hurried over and whispered something to the old patriarch.

Fan Wudi's expression changed instantly. He told Long Qiushui, "Qiushui, can you stay here for Fufu's wedding? I need to go back!"

Although Long Qiushui was also anxious, she understood the gravity of the situation. She nodded immediately and softly replied, "You go busy yourself, leave these matters to me."

The words warmed Fan Wudi's heart, he softly said to Long Qiushui, "The problem has been resolved, but Chu Mo was injured and is unconscious. I need to rush back immediately, don't be too worried."

Long Qiushui wore an anxious expression, "Is he okay?"

Even though they weren't emotionally close, she was very concerned about Chu Mo, because they were now legitimately family. Their fates intertwined. Hearing of Chu Mo's unconsciousness due to injuries, Long Qiushui felt her heart tightening.

"Don't worry!" Fan Wudi glanced at Long Qiushui, then called a few of his trusted aides and left quickly.

The incident had, after more than half an hour of brewing, quickly spread throughout Yanhuang City.

The nobles and officials who attended Fan Wudi's wedding banquet learned about the incident as soon as they left the banquet hall.

Only at this time did they understand why the Emperor reacted the way he did.

"My god... a Vermilion Bird! I always thought it was just a legend!"

"Why isn't it an Azure Dragon?"

"These aren't the real questions. The main issue is how could a Vermilion Bird guard an ordinary person?"

"Young Master Chu may not be an ordinary person! Could an ordinary person do so many incredible things in just one year?"

People were abuzz with speculation, but the center of their discussions was always one person — Chu Mo.

The Emperor rushed back to the palace with his entourage, as for the wedding of Xu Fufu, even without this incident, he would not have attended.

After all, he was the third generation of the not-so-outstanding Xu Family. His prestige wasn't high enough to warrant the attendance of the monarch at his wedding. Moreover, he was also expelled from the Xu family.

Now the Emperor needed to have a thorough understanding of what had happened! Whether Chu Mo was truly unconscious or pretending to be, and what his reaction should be in each case was crucial.

This could potentially concern the future fate of the whole Great Xia!

Unavoidably, this young man was too outstanding, he was able to accomplish many earth-shattering feats at such a tender age.

Xu Zhongliang left directly to avoid suspicion and also to ascertain what had happened.

Marshal Fang Mingtong, however, rushed directly to the Fan Residence.

However, even though he was able to easily enter the Fan Residence, he was stopped by Qi Shan and was unable to meet Chu Mo.

"Are you Mr. Qi?"

"Yes, I am now the guardian of Young Master Chu who is currently unconscious from severe injuries, and it is not convenient for him to have visitors. I request that the marshal leave for now. Once the young master regains consciousness, I will be sure to relay your visit!"

Left with no choice, Fang Mingtong leaves the Fan Residence while simultaneously arranging for close surveillance of the situation.

Chu Mo's every move now has the ability to reverberate through the nerve center of Great Xia's top echelons. If anything were to happen to him, it would be crucial for Great Xia's high-ranking officials to be informed immediately.

"Ah...he's growing up too fast," Fang Mingtong sighs, shaking his head as he leaves the Fan Residence.

The people of Yanhuang City are naturally most concerned about the giant bird, its entire body aflame.

With rumors about this giant bird flying about, it doesn't take long for the entire Yanhuang City to be abuzz.

Xu Fufu, who is preparing for his own wedding, finally hears about what just happened. The exiled Tenth Young Master Xu, is almost driven mad by the news.

"The wedding is off...what's there even to contemplate!" he exclaims angrily.

"Dammit, my brother's life is hanging by a thread, and here I am, preparing for a lavish banquet...if I could go on with this, would I even be human?"

"No, I must go check on him. No one should even attempt to stop me!"

"Mei'er, you're on my side, aren't you? Let's go check on him together!"

"Ah, my Mei'er is the best indeed. I have come to see the cold-heartedness of people. They believe that since I, Xu Fufu, have been evicted from my home, and hence have lost my ability to be used, they no longer wish to attend my wedding...This royal banquet hall, I find annoying anyway!"

Despite Chu Yan and others' attempts to convince him otherwise, Xu Fufu refuses to listen and loses all interest in continuing with the wedding.

On one hand, Chu Mo's life is hanging in the balance, and Xu Fufu is naturally the most worried. He's eager to know his brother's wellbeing. On the other hand, because Chu Mo is not around, many who were planning to attend Xu Fufu's wedding out of respect for Chu Mo...have all left!

This is precisely why Xu Fufu openly condemns the fickleness of human nature.

The young master of the Xu family finally understands how much the family name has benefitted him and recognizes whose influence truly counts. Even if it's someone very close, that influence is not his own!

Xu Fufu, holding Liu Mei'er's hand, affectionately says, "Mei'er, regardless of whether we hold our wedding or not, or when we hold it, in my heart, you are already my wife! Rest assured, we will strive together as husband and wife. Even if we can't keep up with Brother Hei's pace, there will come a day when I will make the world...think twice before they belittle me."

Liu Mei'er understands Xu Fufu's current state of mind and gently responds, "Being married to you is the biggest fortune of my life. Being your wife makes me the happiest woman in the world! But for now, let's go to check on Young Master Chu. I'm very worried about him, too."

"Let's go!" Xu Fufu, holding Liu Mei'er's hand, rushes straight to the Fan Residence.

Long Qiushui and Chu Yan look at each other and can only follow them back to the Fan Residence with a bitter smile on their faces.

However, they, along with Wang Dafa, Long Qiushui, Chu Yan, who also arrive at the same time...all fail to see Chu Mo.

Xu Fufu is on the verge of losing his temper when Fan Wudi, who returned earlier than them, appears with a grave expression. Seeing Xu Fufu, the old man's face shows a touch of reassurance as he says in a heavy voice, "Mo is not in the residence!"

"What?" Xu Fufu is shocked at the news.

Liu Mei'er's face also pales at the news.

The old man says, "Don't worry, he's not in danger!"

Bearing Chu Mo, the Rooster complains all the way along to the small dog, "You little snot-nosed mutt, you tell me, if it weren't for my mighty strength today, wouldn't this boy be dead meat? It's thanks to me, the mighty Rooster, right?" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation, and monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.
