Chapter 2444: Chapter 2443: That Shout of ’No!’ in Ziwei Hall
"Hahaha~~~"
However, Qin Yitian’s words ultimately only provoked louder mockery from Qin Qiyu and Xiao Sisi.
"Yitian, do you actually think you can change anything? Marrying Xiao Huang is your best destination." Qin Qiyu’s lips curled into a cold smile, her words full of disdain.
Xiao Sisi lightly waved her fan and echoed, "Yes, cousin, stop struggling pointlessly, reality is always harsh."
"Lin Dong, he won’t come!"
Qin Yitian pressed her lips tightly without retorting, but the light in her eyes grew even more determined.
She knew her fate seemed to have been clearly arranged, yet the persistence in her heart for love burned like a raging wildfire, impossible to extinguish.
Just at that moment, steady footsteps were heard from outside the door.
Qin Feng, Qin Yitian’s brother, entered with a serious expression.
He looked at Qin Yitian, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but eventually turning into determination.
"Yitian, time’s up, come with me." Qin Feng’s voice was deep and powerful, and he extended his hand to personally escort her down that irreversible path.
Qin Yitian looked at her brother, her eyes reddened slightly. She took a deep breath, mustered the courage, and said:
"Brother, I beg you, let me make my own choice. Do you remember mother’s words before she died? She hoped we could both find our own happiness."
"You used to hate arranged marriages the most, didn’t you? How come now you’ve become the person you hated the most?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng’s body trembled slightly, and his mother’s face flashed in his mind.
But then, the light in his eyes dimmed again, overshadowed by ambition and interests.
"Yitian, you don’t understand. This is not just your business, it concerns the future of the Qin family. I can’t let you be headstrong!" Qin Feng’s voice carried a hint of decisiveness; he forcibly grabbed Qin Yitian’s hand, intending to lead her to the great hall.
Qin Yitian struggled, but the power was disproportionate, and she could only be dragged along step by step by her brother.
Her heart was filled with despair and reluctance, but she hadn’t given up. She believed that there was always a glimmer of hope.
Behind her, Qin Qiyu and Xiao Sisi followed with smug expressions.
"Qin Yitian, even your brother is against you this time. How can you possibly resist fate?" Qin Qiyu shook her head and said.
Unable to resist, Xiao Sisi snorted and murmured, "Even your brother wants you to marry my cousin Xiao Huang. How could you foolishly think Lin Dong, who’s not even related to you, would come to take you away?"
The two people believed that Lin Dong would not come!
Meanwhile, in the great hall, guests filled the room, the atmosphere was solemn and grand.
Qin Yitian was brought to the center of the hall, facing Xiao Huang, who was about to become her "husband," yet her heart felt no joy or anticipation.
She wore a richly ornate bridal gown, tightly held by Qin Feng, stepping into the wedding hall threshold.
At that moment, all eyes focused instantly, and the atmosphere inside the hall seemed to freeze.
"Beautiful, so beautiful!"
"This woman seems born from the heavens!"
"The ancient divine beauties are no match!"
"..."
This was the common reaction of the guests upon first seeing Qin Yitian.
But soon, these guests’ reactions diverged.
Among the crowd, there were also many young and beautiful female guests. They were once admirers of Xiao Huang, now watching Qin Yitian with intense jealousy, muttering in their hearts.
"Such luck, actually marrying Xiao Huang!"
But soon, they showed disdain, believing Qin Yitian was just a pawn of a family alliance.
Many male guests, on the other hand, stared at Qin Yitian’s heavenly beauty, dazed.
They began to envy Xiao Huang.
"Xiao Huang marrying such a beautiful wife, truly his fortune!"
"To sleep with such a fairy for one night, I’d willingly reduce my lifespan by ten years!"
"..."
Groom Xiao Huang sat in the great hall, dressed in a groom’s suit, gold crown on his head, his expression cold and dignified.
His gaze brightened slightly when Qin Yitian stepped into the hall but soon returned to calm.
In Xiao Huang’s heart stirred a subtle ripple; he had never expected that Qin Yitian dressed in bridal attire would possess such extraordinary charisma and beauty.
However, he was well aware that this marriage was not just about two people but also the alliance of two major powers, forcing him to maintain composure and reason.
Long Ban, as Lin Dong’s friend and good brother, stood aside, his gaze deep.
He watched Qin Yitian, quietly contemplating.
He fully understood the meaning behind this wedding.
"Big brother, you mustn’t come! This place is a Dragon’s Den and Tiger’s Lair, with four powerful Heavenly Realm Martial Artists waiting in the shadows like a praying mantis, waiting for a cicada like you to walk in!"
In one aspect, he prayed Lin Dong wouldn’t come, fearing Lin Dong might perish today!
On the other hand, he felt sympathy for Qin Yitian. If Lin Dong didn’t come, then Qin Yitian’s fate was doomed to be tragic!
Tang Qing, at this moment, quietly stood aside as well.
Her gentle gaze fell on Qin Yitian.
In Tang Qing’s heart were complex emotions, showing both sympathy for Qin Yitian’s ordeal and respect for her relentless spirit.
"If it were me, placed in Qin Yitian’s position, would I be so resolute and choose death over submission?" she asked herself.
Unfortunately, there was no answer.
Because she hadn’t met a man like Master Lin yet!
Tianxing Feng, invited to the wedding due to circumstances, stood among the crowd, his sharp gaze scanning the surroundings.
Tianxing Feng had no interest in this wedding, believing there was a high chance Master Lin would show up.
Therefore, he came!
He was only interested in Master Lin!
As for Qin Qiyu and Xiao Sisi, their reactions also varied.
Qin Qiyu looked at Qin Yitian, suddenly becoming complicated.
"Sister, your daughter has ultimately followed your path. Both mother and daughter are equally foolish!" she muttered inwardly to herself.
Xiao Sisi was full of disdain, regarding Qin Yitian as just a pathetic tool used by her family, like her mother, undeserving of sympathy or respect.
She eagerly watched Qin Yitian’s current predicament!
"Qin Yitian, would you choose to commit suicide like your mother to defend your honor? Heehee..." Xiao Sisi laughed in her heart.
She hoped to see this wedding turn into Qin Yitian’s funeral!
While Qin Feng, as Qin Yitian’s elder brother, remained inscrutable in his thoughts at that moment.
At this moment, the MC’s voice rang out.
"The bride has arrived! Please, the bride’s brother, place the bride’s hand into the groom’s hand. Begin the wedding ceremony!"
Inside the great hall, the lights were bright, reflecting faces filled with expectation or jealousy.
Qin Feng stood by Qin Yitian’s side, his hands trembling slightly, a complicated emotion flickering in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, preparing to carry out this crucial symbolic ritual of their family alliance - gently placing his sister Qin Yitian’s hand into the groom Xiao Huang’s hand.
However, at this decisive moment, Qin Yitian suddenly spoke up, her voice was light, yet like a bolt from the blue, instantly breaking the silence in the hall.
"No!"
A simple word, but like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake surface, creating ripples.
The guests’ expressions instantly froze, some surprised, some curious, others incredulous.
And Qin Feng’s face completely sank!
