"Is there still hope for my face?"

Ghost Face stared nervously at Tang Ming.

"Aren’t you confident in my medical skills? I guarantee you’ll regain your former beauty."

Tang Ming puffed out his chest confidently, "Actually, when you were injured back then, you should have contacted me immediately. Then you wouldn’t have suffered for so many years."

"That’s great. Brother, if you can help my wife restore her face, I’d be so grateful."

Iron Foot excitedly grabbed Tang Ming’s hand, "Back in the day, my wife was a great beauty. I’ll be lucky in the future."

"Hmph, are you really that dissatisfied with how I look now?"

Upon hearing this, Ghost Face was displeased.

"No, no, but everyone loves beauty. If you can be more beautiful, that’s the best."

Iron Foot explained, and then the three of them entered the Mu Estate with smiles and laughter.

Overnight, all the corpses and traces of the fight at the Mu family were completely cleared away.

The following morning, the entire Mu estate was brightly decorated, bustling with excitement. At the same time, the blockade of Glazed Island by the two major families was lifted, and the Su Family members successfully arrived.

When Su Xiaoxi and Liu Mengting saw Tang Ming, the two women directly rushed into Tang Ming’s arms, crying tears of joy.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry. Aren’t I fine now?"

Tang Ming, dressed in formal attire, held the two beauties, continuously comforting them.

"You’ve been missing for so long without sending us any news. It worried me to death."

"Exactly! I even thought you were dead."

"By the way, where’s Xiaoli?"

"Why are you dressed up so grandly? What on earth happened?"

...

After exchanging pleasantries, the two finally noticed that the atmosphere was off.

Su Tianyu, with his special status, was invited by the Mu family to the reception room for discussions upon arriving at the Mu estate. After all, the Su Family is now the top family in the Imperial City, with a status and presence no less than the Mu Family, though their power seems lesser after being extracted by the Dragon Group.

"Well... I’ll take you to see Xiaoli first, then explain slowly."

Tang Ming opened his mouth but truly couldn’t explain.

Su Xiaoxi and Liu Mengting were both his fiancées, and now he was about to hold a wedding with Mu Zixin. The relationship was too messed up.

Worried about Li Xiaoli, the two women didn’t ask much and followed Tang Ming to Li Xiaoli’s residence. After entering the room, both of them were dumbfounded.

They saw Li Xiaoli lying in bed, placed as an offering, and a white-haired old man standing at the altar table lighting incense.

"What’s going on?"

Su Xiaoxi and Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming, bewildered.

"I can’t explain this either."

Tang Ming scratched his head. He couldn’t possibly tell the two women the secret about Li Xiaoli, but how to explain it?

"Tang Ming, you’re here. Offer incense to the ancestor first, then speak."

The old lunatic commanded without turning his head.

"Yes...this is my master. Be mindful."

Tang Ming whispered a reminder, then obediently walked to the altar to offer incense to Li Xiaoli.

"This is insane! Why do they have Xiaoli set up like an offering?"

Liu Mengting murmured in shock and suspicion.

"I have no clue. It looks so eerie."

Su Xiaoxi shook her head in confusion.

"Master, these two are my fiancées and also friends of Xiaoli."

After offering incense, Tang Ming hurriedly introduced.

"Fiancées? Do they know you’re getting married today?"

The old lunatic turned around, examining Liu Mengting and Su Xiaoxi without any expression.

"Getting married? Who are you marrying?"

Liu Mengting and Su Xiaoxi exclaimed.

"I..."

Tang Ming’s lips twitched. This old lunatic’s mouth was too fast, and he hadn’t even thought of what to say yet.

"He’s holding a wedding today with the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Zixin. I, as the officiant."

The old lunatic adjusted his attire and stated straightforwardly.

"What?"

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi and Liu Mengting both widened their eyes, looking at Tang Ming in disbelief.

"Cough, cough, explaining this is a bit complicated. Simply put, while we were trapped on the sea, many things happened, and then... it happened unexpectedly."

Tang Ming looked at Su Xiaoxi and Liu Mengting awkwardly.

"But you can’t marry Mu Zixin!"

Liu Mengting glared at Tang Ming with an ugly expression, "You know that we don’t get along with Mu Zixin, and given her temper as a young lady, why would she marry you?"

Su Xiaoxi frowned at Tang Ming without speaking. With her more mature mindset than Liu Mengting, she could imagine what might have happened between Tang Ming and Mu Zixin when they were trapped on the island?

In such a situation, not to mention people who don’t like each other, even enemies might get together.

"I..."

"What are you arguing about? Don’t you have any manners?"

Seeing Tang Ming left speechless by Liu Mengting’s questioning, the old lunatic grunted unhappily, "It’s common for men to have multiple wives. As women, you should understand your man. Your confrontational attitude is not the behavior of a virtuous wife."

"I’m not some virtuous wife."

Liu Mengting’s eyes reddened, "He already has so many women, and I’ve said nothing about it. But why must he marry Mu Zixin? I’m his legitimate fiancée; we haven’t even held our wedding. What right does Mu Zixin have to hold a wedding with him? What about me?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Meng Ting, enough."

Su Xiaoxi quickly hugged Liu Mengting.

"Hmph! You’re only engaged, and if you care so much, I’ll make the decision for Tang Ming to break off the engagement with you, so you won’t be upset."

The old lunatic spoke domineeringly, very displeased with Liu Mengting’s attitude.

"You, what gives you the right to decide for him?"

Liu Mengting’s face changed, glaring at the old lunatic angrily.

"Because I’m his master. Once a teacher, forever a father. Since Tang Ming has no parents, I’m his father."

The old lunatic scowled, "I’m telling you now, if you don’t please me, don’t expect to enter Tang Ming’s house."

"You..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengting couldn’t help but start crying.

"Master, master, please calm down. It doesn’t need to escalate like this."

Tang Ming quickly interceded, "My engagement to Mengting was decided by my senior master, and it involves many things behind it. You can’t overrule it."

"Nonsense! As your master, I can decide. If that old man behind you has issues, let him come to me to argue."

The old lunatic sneered disdainfully, "Just as I’m recovering from a serious illness without an opponent, not having a showdown with him back then is a regret."

"Uh... let’s just forget it, right?"

Tang Ming’s mouth twitched. Though he didn’t know how powerful Tang Cha was, the old lunatic’s past feats were too insane. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would win or lose.

"Master, please don’t be angry. Mengting is young, and it’s natural for her to act impulsively. I’ll definitely try to persuade her gently."

Su Xiaoxi held Liu Mengting and quickly tried to mediate.

"Hmm, your behavior is not bad. This is the grace a noble lady should have."

The old lunatic nodded approvingly, "My disciple absolutely cannot be a man afraid of his wife. A man must act like a man."
