Chapter 280: The Wedding Hall and Hidden Emotions

The entire Nianbadu Ancient Town was filled with festive joy.

Compared to its usual sparse population, today it was far more lively with many more people around.

Even many items were being sold at rare discounted prices and countless people did not want to miss the opportunity and came to purchase goods.

Bai He sighed inwardly.

Why had he not brought more money when he came?

Then he remembered that he probably did not have much money left anyway.

When they arrived at Yaowang Pavilion, it was decorated even more beautifully than in Ye Shiyuan’s dream.

The lanterns and decorations hung everywhere, the flowers bloomed brightly along the path, and even many rare treasures were displayed.

No wonder Zhou Yifei said this was real.

How could it not be real?

If this were fake, such an extravagant display would be far too costly.

Yaowang Pavilion was never short of treasures and those who came to offer congratulations were all prominent figures.

Bai He even saw Ning Huasang.

As the Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda, his appearance here was quite normal and Dai Mubai had also come.

Dai Mubai and Yao Guang were, at the very least, old acquaintances.

Unlike when he saw Bai He, Dai Mubai was extremely respectful when he saw Zhou Yifei.

"Third Senior Sister."

"It has been a long time. When are you going to take off your mask?"

Dai Mubai touched his cold mask.

"Third Senior Sister, I am afraid I will have to disappoint you. I will not be able to take off this mask anytime soon."

Zhou Yifei glanced at him helplessly.

"I will leave Junior Brother with you for now. Take him to see Yao Guang first."

"Alright."

This time, it was Bai He who felt speechless.

He was not a ten year old child.

He was almost eighteen years old already.

There was no need for someone to lead him around.

Dai Mubai still wore a mask, but this time it was a different one.

In truth, Dai Mubai was not ugly.

No, he was actually extremely handsome.

At least in his memory, that was the case.

However...

Why would he use such a strange mask to cover his handsome face?

Was he afraid others would covet him?

"Host, behind every sorrowful story, there is always someone wearing a mask."

Mo Zhu was speaking nonsense again.

"Where do you want me to take you?"

Bai He waved his hand.

"No need. I will just walk around on my own."

Dai Mubai lowered his head and said beside Bai He’s ear.

"Let me tell you something. Ning Rongrong is here today as well."

This was probably the worst news Bai He had heard all day.

"Huh?"

"Yes. She is here. I am not sure whether she has truly become afraid, nor whether she has truly let things go. You should be prepared."

Bai He let out a disdainful snort.

"Let her come. Am I supposed to be afraid of her?"

"You’re so foolish. Don’t fall into someone else’s trap. When that happens, no one will be able to help you."

After Dai Mubai said this in an ambiguous tone, he turned around and left with a faint smile.

"Host, don’t be angry."

"I’m not angry."

Bai He objected, but it had very little convincing power.

"Master."

Hearing Ye Shiyuan’s voice, he suddenly turned around.

Behind him was only Ye Shiyuan alone.

As for Xu Feng, he had long since disappeared into the crowd at some unknown point in time.

Clearly he did not know those people, yet at this moment he was chatting and laughing as if they had been friends for years.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

Bai He’s expression had turned strange from the moment Dai Mubai spoke to him earlier.

Something about his mood had clearly changed.

Bai He pushed Ye Shiyuan slightly.

"It’s all because of you."

Ye Shiyuan looked at Bai He’s departing back, feeling somewhat baffled.

Had he done something wrong?

"Host, how can you take your anger out on the protagonist for no reason?"

"I can’t even complain a little now?"

Bai He felt that the place was too noisy, so he decided to find somewhere quiet to stay for a while.

Dai Mubai had said that Ning Rongrong had come.

Bai He looked around but could not find Ning Rongrong anywhere, not even beside Ning Huasang.

Had she really come? Or was Dai Mubai just teasing him?

"Master?"

A flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a gold blue flower with somewhat unusual in appearance.

It shaped like a rose and carried a fragrance that was not strong but very pleasant.

Bai He subconsciously reached out to take it and look at it carefully, but still handled it gently.

Yes, he very carefully handled it.

If he damaged the flower, he would feel heartache.

"Where did you get this flower? Did you just pick it casually?"

"Of course not. I went outside and bought this flower. It’s called an eternal rose. Master, do you like it?"

"Don’t think that just by trying to please me, I will forgive you."

Ye Shiyuan scratched his head.

"But I don’t even know what I did wrong?"

"So the things you did wrong before don’t count anymore?"

Ye Shiyuan’s lips moved slightly, but he had no way to argue back.

"Ning Huasang is here. Senior Brother Dai Mubai told me his daughter also came."

Ye Shiyuan was slightly startled, of course he still remembered what had happened in Spirit Pagoda.

"What does that have to do with me? I did not know she was coming. I came here with you, Master."

"Then what if she comes looking for you?"

Ye Shiyuan placed the flower into Bai He’s palm.

"Your gaze has been fixed on me the entire time. How would she even have a chance to approach me?"

"You sure know how to say nice things. If I were not watching you, you would probably secretly meet her behind my back."
