During his lifetime, Wang Li held an unrivaled position in the Wang family, and even the elders of the time were clearly respectful and distant towards him.

Due to extraordinary talent, Wang Ying was destined to become the strongest of his generation in the Wang family. In a world where Xuan Power reigns supreme, Wang Li, as Wang Ying’s father, naturally garnered respect from the entire Wang family. However,

Wang Ying was assassinated, his only grandson Wang Ye was wasted in the Xuanxue Realm; now Wang Li is the most powerful person in Yun City, but his son is dead, his grandson disabled, and without heirs, who would fear him? His position in the Wang family has collapsed.

Wang Li was not angry, having grown accustomed to the daily mockery from these people, so he laughed easily and said,

"I’ve already seen your expression, you don’t need to drink anymore. My eldest grandson, Wang Chengzi, has just broken through to the Yuanshen Xuan Realm seventh layer, but he’s far away and can’t stay here, so I must personally secure him soon," Wang Chengzi said, standing up himself.

"Has the Yuanshen Xuan Realm already been broken through to the seventh layer of Yuanshen Lianti? At just 17 years old, achieving such accomplishments, this child’s future is truly limitless."

It’s no wonder you look radiant today; Wang Xin’s four heavenly kings also stood up, congratulating Brother Three with amazed expressions.

Though this seemed best, his expression had already revealed anger. At that time, these four called him brother and occasionally showed him respect and courtesy, but after Wang Ying died and Wang Ye’s Mysterious Veins were proven defective,

their attitude toward him underwent a drastic change, and now he was largely ignored. He often boasted in front of his son and grandson, even mocking him recklessly at his grandson’s wedding, using his grandson’s achievements to tear open the emotional wound he least wanted to touch.

The sudden shift in atmosphere caused the ceremony leader to sweat profusely, skipping all the subsequent procedures, and saying roughly: "The bride and groom head to the bridal chamber, esteemed guests, please enter!"

In the deafening sound of gongs and drums, Wang Ye and Xia Qin held their wedding ceremony and entered Wang Ye’s courtyard together under everyone’s watch. Wang Ye’s usual bridal chamber was decorated in red: a big red carpet embroidered with dragons and phoenixes,

A large character of double happiness, the room filled with red ribbons and silk, a dazzling golden curtain, two large red wedding candles, the body painted with golden flying dragons and azaleas. The candlelight sparkled through a gold glass curtain almost as tall as the floor,

Filling the room with a dreamy, hazy, radiant light, like a wedding hall isolated from the outside world.

Xia Qin sat on the bed, led by her maid Dong Lixia, who closed the door and exited quietly. The room suddenly became very quiet, with only faint sounds of her own breathing.

Xia Qin sat silently while Wang Ye refrained from approaching her, standing at the doorway, staring in the direction of the door, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

"Seeing my grandfather bullied like this, especially on such an important wedding day, I am very saddened."

A cold, soft voice sounded in his ear; Wang Ye’s expression tightened; Xia Qin actually took the initiative to speak to him. The words were quite sharp, but he remained surprised.

Wang Ye turned his gaze aside, hesitantly saying, "Please remove the Phoenix Crown; it’s too heavy, and wearing it for long would be uncomfortable."

The bride’s Phoenix Crown must be removed by the groom, but previously, after being ’frozen’ to save her, the proud Wang Ye didn’t want to touch this sinful item anymore. Naturally, he also didn’t believe Xia Qin truly wanted to remove this crown for him.

The crown with pearl tassels was quietly removed, and soon, an incomparably beautiful face met Wang Ye’s eyes. When those beautiful eyes were raised to meet his gaze, Wang Ye was stunned.

They were a pair of indescribably beautiful eyes, as if all the world’s blue waves had fully blended into these dreamlike eyes.

In the dim room, her face was white as jade, her lips like the world’s most exquisite petals, her nose seemingly carved from the world’s most beautiful snowflake stones, carrying a natural nobility and pride.

"Indeed, the name is real."

And I’m not afraid," Wang Ye mumbled, staring into her eyes from head to toe.

Not blinking, not moving, the beautiful eyes possessing infinite gravity, like an abyss that drew his consciousness and thoughts into them, making it difficult to escape.

He and Xia Qin had been paired since childhood, but besides occasional glances in their youth, he hadn’t seen her true face until 10 years old due to Xia Qin rarely going out, while Wang Ye always felt inferior.

Knowing Xia Qin was harmed by Mysterious Veins filled him with self-reproach, and she rarely stepped beyond the Wang family’s doors, only hearing occasionally from others that Xia Qin would be a great beauty when she grew up, hearing from others that she would become an unrivaled beauty.

When she finally saw Xia Qin’s true face, the shadows she had imagined in her heart vanished instantly even though there were memories of her two lives before her, Wang Ye’s heart was disrupted by her appearance for quite some time.

He couldn’t conceive anything more beautiful than the sight in front of him, and this girl the same age as him was only 16; girls at this age haven’t had the time to fully develop their beauty, he couldn’t imagine in a few years to what extent Xia Qin’s charm would reach. Perhaps too beautiful, perhaps too beautiful.

Such a surprise appearance of a brow and smile was enough to let the world of this girl, whom from today also became his wife, fall; Wang Ye couldn’t suppress a deep sense of unreality.

And you, and the rumored you, and my imagined you, are completely different."

The rumors said your Mysterious Veins were destroyed, you could only reside in the first layer of the Xuan Realm for life, your only playmates were your aunt Wang Ling and brother Ba, your only advantage was your looks."

Your Xuanqi is not only weak but also turbid, so unquestionably, your Mysterious Veins are defective. However, all the rumors about your Qi seem wrong."

Xia Qin halted three steps in front of Wang Ye, her beautiful eyes directly meeting his gaze. "You might be deliberately hiding, but from the first time I saw you until now, contrary to the rumored inferiority complex,

your attitude always carried a pulse-raising arrogance.

When I froze your arm at home with Tiangou, your reaction was so calm it startled me; if your arm hadn’t frozen in such a short time, I would even think Tiangou failed. Now,

In the hall, you and your grandfather Wang Li were mocked on such an important occasion, yet neither your expression nor heart rate showed any anomaly, any fleeting anger vanished, such mental fortitude not easy even for mid-level Li Xuan Realm powerhouses!"

Even as you gazed at me, your eyes ached with obsession, but never relented!"
