Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 873 - 874: The Show Begins

Lan Jiaojiao was already beautiful, and after putting on the red wedding gown and carefully dressing up, she became even more radiant and captivating.

Qin Yi, hiding behind the screen, had to admit that Lan Jiaojiao was truly beautiful. He wondered which bastard would have such good fortune in the future to marry Lan Jiaojiao.

After a lot of fuss, which lasted nearly two hours, Lan Jiaojiao was about to lose her temper before it finally ended.

"Miss Lan, there's still some time. Please rest well! When the time comes, we'll come to get you.

By the way, Miss Lan, you cannot eat anything during this time to avoid ruining your makeup."

"Get out!" Lan Jiaojiao coldly spat out the word.

The old woman's face darkened, but she said no more. With a disdainful snort, she left with her people.

Qin Yi walked out from behind the screen, sizing up Lan Jiaojiao, "I have to admit, you look really pretty dressed up like this."

"Are you feeling tempted?" Lan Jiaojiao asked with a smile.

Qin Yi did not notice the hope in Lan Jiaojiao's eyes and joked, "Don't be silly! We're buddies. Would you feel tempted by your buddies?"

A flash of disappointment passed through Lan Jiaojiao's eyes.

Buddies?

But I don't want to be your buddy.

However, as long as you're happy, I'm willing to be your buddy.

"Stop the nonsense and help me take this thing off quickly."

This wedding gown was not meant for Qin Yi, and every second it was on her was torture.

Qin Yi nodded, pulling Xiao Lian out from under the bed and then waking her up.

Xiao Lian opened her eyes, initially a bit confused, but when she saw that the Second Elder was with Lan Jiaojiao, and she was not in her own room, she immediately sensed something was off and her face changed as she opened her mouth to shout.

Qin Yi raised his hand, forming a seal, and cast a strange symbol into Xiao Lian's brow.

Xiao Lian's eyes immediately became dull, like a puppet.

"Did you turn her into an idiot?" Lan Jiaojiao was somewhat reluctant. Although Xiao Lian was a bit loose, she was innocent, after all.

Qin Yi shook his head, "It's a Sealing Soul Talisman. As long as it's removed, she'll be fine. Don't worry!"

Lan Jiaojiao was relieved, "Are you going to watch me change her clothes?"

Qin Yi was slightly stunned and touched his nose before awkwardly going behind the screen.

Before long, Lan Jiaojiao said, "Alright, come out."

Qin Yi walked out to find that the wedding gown on Lan Jiaojiao had been put on Xiao Lian.

"I have to say, your figures are quite similar."

Lan Jiaojiao was displeased, "Nonsense, my figure is much better than hers."

Qin Yi pouted and shook his head helplessly.

"What do you mean by shaking your head? Are you saying my figure isn't good?" Lan Jiaojiao said proudly, puffing out her chest.

Qin Yi awkwardly touched his nose, "It's good."

"That's more like it." Lan Jiaojiao said, covering Xiao Lian's head with the red veil on the side, "How is it? No flaws, right?"

Qin Yi looked for a moment and nodded slightly.

Lan Jiaojiao was a bit excited, "Next, let's hope the show goes on without a hitch."

In fact, the show had already started.

In the courtyard where Baihua Pavilion resided, the three women led by Zi Yuan rushed to Elder Chen Qingxia's room, saying that Bai Jingqing had gone missing.

Chen Qingxia was still a bit uncomprehending and instinctively asked, "What do you mean by missing?"

Zi Yuan said, "I went to Junior Sister Bai's room just now and found signs of a fight there. Junior Sister Bai is not around, and we've searched all around but couldn't find her."

Chen Qingxia's face changed drastically.

Bai Jingqing was the future of Baihua Pavilion, and if something happened to her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Without asking more questions, Chen Qingxia rushed directly to Bai Jingqing's room. She saw overturned tables and chairs, broken teaware; indeed, a fight had occurred here.

"What happened?"

A woman around Chen Qingxia's age walked in, saw the mess, and frowned.

This person was Yan Yunfeng, an Elder of Baihua Pavilion, who was here with Chen Qingxia to congratulate the Fang Family.

Chen Qingxia kept a cold face, speaking in a deep voice, "Something must have happened to Jingqing."

Yan Yunfeng's face changed drastically, "What on earth happened?"

"Zi Yuan and the others came to find Jingqing just now and found she wasn't there, with signs of a fight in the room."

Yan Yunfeng's brows knitted, "Someone who can fight Jingqing and not alarm us, who has such skills?"

As she finished speaking, Yan Yunfeng instinctively exchanged a glance with Chen Qingxia.

Chen Qingxia spoke in a low voice, "It seems we thought of the same thing; only the elders of the various families could achieve this."

"This is the Fang Family. If anything happened to Jingqing, they can't absolve themselves from responsibility. Let's go find them."

...

On another side, Qin Ankang hastily found Mo Fushui and Mo Tianheng, telling them that Mo Wuji was missing.

Mo Fushui and Mo Tianheng reacted similarly to those on Chen Qingxia's side.

"You've been following Wuji all along, don't you know what happened?"

Mo Fushui looked at the mess in the room and asked Qin Ankang.

Qin Ankang bowed his head, "I went to get breakfast for the Young Master earlier and was away for just over ten minutes. When I returned, the Young Master was gone."

"With Wuji's current cultivation, there's no one among the younger generation who can match him, so this can only be the work of the elders from various families," Mo Fushui said coldly.

Mo Tianheng nodded, "Fang Family, Nan Family, Lei Family's best young disciples all died in the Secret Realm. They've always harbored a murderous intent toward Bai Jingqing from Baihua Pavilion and Wuji. It seems this can't be unrelated to them."

"This is the Fang Family. With Wuji missing, they can't avoid blame. Let's go find them. Wuji cannot come to harm."

Mo Tianheng and Mo Fushui didn't even have time to gather disciples, quickly departing for the Fang Family's main hall with Qin Ankang.

Today was the wedding of Young Master Fang Zhiyi from the Fang Family, so the Fang Family members would surely be in the main hall.

As they approached the main hall of the Fang Family, Mo Tianheng and his group encountered Chen Qingxia and her group.

Both sides wore dark expressions.

"Elder Chen, why such haste?"

Though the Five Great Families targeted each other secretly, they hadn't completely torn faces, so the basic etiquette was still observed. After all, it concerned the dignity of a great family.

Chen Qingxia glared at Mo Fushui and the others, sternly asking, "Was it you who did it?"

Mo Fushui and the others were full of surprise.

"Elder Chen, what did we do?"

The murderous intent flickered in Chen Qingxia's eyes, "My Baihua Pavilion disciple Bai Jingqing is missing. Was it you who did it?"

Mo Fushui and Mo Tianheng were shocked, exchanging a look.

"Bai Jingqing is missing too?"

Yan Yunfeng frowned and asked, "What do you mean by 'Jingqing is missing too'? Did someone from your Mo Family also go missing?"

Mo Fushui nodded slightly, speaking in a low voice, "My Mo Family's Young Master Wuji is also missing. There are signs of a fight in his room."

The people from Baihua Pavilion were stunned; they hadn't expected Mo Wuji to be missing too.

Chen Qingxia spoke in a low voice, "It seems we are in a similar situation; there are signs of a fight in Jingqing's room as well."

Mo Fushui said angrily, "It appears someone is targeting our two families. Bai Jingqing and Wuji are the most outstanding disciples of our two families. If something happens to them, it would impede the future development of our families."
