Hearing the shout coming from one corner of the square, everyone turned their heads to look.
There, in the corner of the square, Wang Yan unexpectedly stood, while Ma Jun, who had been sitting, was now kneeling at Wang Yan's feet, clutching Wang Yan's leg and sobbing bitterly.
The chair Ma Jun had been sitting on was now shattered, yet fragnts of an array were visibly scattered on it.
Everyone present was a Demon Cultivator, and all understood that this chair was likely an imprisoning array, binding its occupant immobile.
Seeing this, Fang Han glared back at Fang Jinqiu, clearly recognizing this trouble was caused by his own son.
Yet, since matters had reached this point, Fang Han could not rebuke Fang Jinqiu openly.
At this mont, Ma Jun cried out as he spoke, "Boss, on that day in Wanghai City, a few people from the Fang Family ca to take Roy away. Roy and I resisted, but their cultivation was too high, and we were captured. Roy must have been coerced by them. Boss, you have to rescue Roy."
Tears stread continuously from Ma Jun's eyes, his face drenched in tears.
Seeing Ma Jun's tearful appearance evoked belief in most present.
After all, Ma Jun looked so genuine it seed implausible he was faking.
But, since this was the Fang Family after all, how could anyone dare to speak up?
Only Fushi arched his brows and attempted to speak but ceased after glancing at Wang Yan.
Wang Yan pulled Ma Jun up, saying, "Ma Jun, have you forgotten what I told you? I promise, you will marry Roy."
These words were spoken by Wang Yan in the villa area of Wanghai City previously.
At that ti, Ma Jun was exhilarated upon hearing Wang Yan's promise, but now it felt like ages ago.
Ma Jun raised his head, staring blankly at Wang Yan, and asked, "Boss, really?"
Wang Yan nodded resolutely, saying, "No one can stop what I say. Stand up, Ma Jun, don't show weakness to the enemy."
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Ma Jun imdiately stood up and wiped the tears from his eyes forcefully.
Though deeply trusting Wang Yan, Ma Jun was now anxious due to witnessing the enigmatic depths of the Fang Family these past days.
Wang Yan pulled Ma Jun along, facing Fang Han and his son with an icy deanor.
Guests imdiately cleared a path for Wang Yan and Ma Jun, leading them before Fang Han.
Glancing at Fang Han, Wang Yan asked, "Anything left to say?"
Fang Han, though aware Roy didn't wish to marry Fang Jinqiu, was unaware Roy had a lover. Yet things had escalated, forcing his reluctance to yield in front of guests.
Fang Han coldly replied, "Hmph, this young man is rely a passionate suitor of my daughter-in-law. Just think, why would my daughter-in-law choose him? Our Fang Family is mighty, my son akin to a Demon Emperor. Anyone would choose the Fang Family over this young man. I advise you to quit this obsession. For the sake of your passion, I won't hold it against you. Leave now."
Hearing Fang Han's words, guests nodded thoughtfully.
Fang Han indeed exuded the deanor of a great clan leader, possessing magnanimity akin to a ship. Despite being affronted, he allowed these young n to leave unfettered.
At this, the guests' sympathies shifted back toward Fang Han and his son.
So guests even advised Wang Yan, "Young man, you should go back."
"Yes, quickly thank Clan Leader Fang for his graciousness and leave imdiately."
"Young n ruin things with such foolish passion, luckily Clan Leader Fang is forgiving."
Unexpectedly, Wang Yan did not leave, but sneered coldly, saying, "What hypocrisy, if your conscience is clear, dare you let the bride say a word?"
Hearing Wang Yan's insistence on hearing the bride speak annoyed several guests.
Soone imdiately scolded, "This young man knows nothing, I think he's reckless beyond bounds."
"Indeed, Clan Leader Fang, you're too generous not to act. Just say the word, and I'll teach this brat a lesson."
With Wang Yan being denounced by everyone, guests were about to surge forward.
Then, on the side, Fushi said, "Hold on, everyone. Why won't Clan Leader Fang let the bride speak to lay this young man's doubts to rest? Perhaps there's indeed sothing amiss."
Fang Jinqiu glared at Fushi in anger upon hearing him aid Wang Yan.
Fang Han smiled wryly and said, "Since Senior Fushi has spoken, letting the bride speak poses no issue."
With these words, Fang Han approached the bride and said to her beneath the headcover, "Will you stay in my Fang Family, just say a word?"
From behind the cover, a sweet voice answered, "Of course I'm willing."
Hearing this unexpected reply left Ma Jun stunned; his eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth agape, eyes filled with confusion: "Impossible! Roy wouldn't say that, I don't believe it. I want to uncover her veil and hear it from her."
With these words, Ma Jun rushed forward.
The guests frowned upon hearing this.
The bride's veil is ant to be lifted by the groom upon chamber entry, not by a stranger.
This showed that the young n were indeed reckless fools or re troublemakers.
Seeing Ma Jun rush over, Fang Jinqiu imdiately blocked him and swung a punch.
Ma Jun, preoccupied with Roy, was rendered panic-stricken by Roy's words and couldn't evade Fang Jinqiu's blow.
Even if Ma Jun's heart was present, he couldn't dodge Fang Jinqiu's punch.
As Fang Jinqiu's punch neared Ma Jun, Wang Yan quickly pulled Ma Jun back, shielding him.
Fang Jinqiu's punch, thus, missed.
Fang Han, next to the bride, said to Fushi, "Senior Fushi, satisfied?"
Fushi nodded, "I detest hypocrites, self-serving, and thankless ingrates. Clan Leader Fang letting the bride speak proves your family's integrity."
Upon hearing Fushi, Fang Han laughed aloud, "As the gentleman says, it was you who considered the Fang Family earlier."
Once everyone sided with the Fang Family, Ma Jun felt more distressed, and his sole reliance lay on Wang Yan.
Ma Jun looked helplessly at Wang Yan, asking, "Boss, what do we do?"
Wang Yan shook his head, saying, "It appears Roy's heart changed, Ma Jun, let's go."
With these words, Wang Yan took Ma Jun and turned to leave.
At this mont, Wang Yan embodied Ma Jun's last hope; seeing Wang Yan at a loss, Ma Jun felt the sky crumble atop him, following Wang Yan distraughtly.
Seeing their lone silhouettes invited the guests' disdainful gazes.
Fang Han, relieved, called Fang Jinqiu to the bride's side, instructing the etiquette master, "Proceed with the three rites."
The master responded promptly, "Auspicious ti has co, the newlyweds bow to heaven and earth."
Just as Fang Jinqiu bent to bow, Wang Yan, far away, asked Ma Jun, "Ma Jun, do you believe Roy's heart changed?"
In a weary voice, Ma Jun replied, "I don't believe it."
"Nor do I." Wang Yan's cold voice followed.
