"Today, on such a special day, I'm going to fulfill my promise and say what I've always wanted to say in my heart. I'm going to tell that girl that I hope she'll marry into the Yang family and become my wife!"
Yang Jian's voice was incomparably loud and clear, echoing throughout the plaza for a long time.
"Senior Brother Yang Jian, who is she?"
"Senior Brother Yang Jian, say her name."
The disciples below the stage began to make a ruckus.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down. Allow me, Yang Jian, to say her name." When he saw the crowd's reaction, Yang Jian raised his hands and gestured for them to quiet down.
Everyone immediately fell silent, eagerly awaiting the name that Yang Jian was about to say.
Although they were a hundred percent certain that it was Liu Yuhuan, they were still a little curious before Yang Jian could say her name.
"That person is Murong Xue of the Murong family." Yang Jian finally revealed the name with a dazzling smile.
His words immediately caused the originally quiet plaza to become even more silent. Everyone had a shocked expression on their faces.
They all thought that it would be Liu Yuhuan. Who would've thought that Murong Xue would suddenly pop up?
Most importantly, Murong Xue's relationship with Linlong was unclear.
No, that's not right. They should be lovers.
In any case, they'd seen Murong Xue standing by Linlong's side on countless occasions.
Liu Yuhuan, who was standing at the front, turned pale. She thought that Yang Jian would say her name too. Who would've thought that it would be Murong Xue?
"Although she hasn't been at the academy for the past year, I heard that Xue 'er has successfully entered the Sky Evolution Academy and has become one of my junior sisters …" Yang Jian continued.
However, at this point, he felt that something was amiss.
Logically speaking, after he said such words, the people below the stage should be congratulating him. Why did everyone look so shocked?
"What, what's wrong?" Yang Jian furrowed his brows.
"Nothing much. Congratulations to Senior Brother Yang Jian for being able to be with Junior Sister Murong."
"Congratulations to Junior Sister Murong for marrying into the Yang family."
A few voices rang out from below the stage. Those who said these words clearly looked rather embarrassed.
Although Yang Jian felt that something wasn't quite right, he still had to continue speaking. Most importantly, he didn't feel that his relationship with Murong Xue had changed in any way.
"I didn't inform Xue 'er about this because I wanted to give Xue' er a surprise. I found out from the people around me that Xue 'er is already here. Xue' er, after you hear what I have to say, please come up to the stage," Yang Jian said with a blissful smile.
"Mm. Junior sister Murong, this seems a little surprising, no?" Linlong turned around and smiled at Murong Xue.
Murong Xue's expression was one of shock and bewilderment.
Yang Jian felt very awkward. After he said that, there was no reaction from the crowd. It was as if Murong Xue didn't hear him at all.
"Xue 'er, don't be shy. I know you're below the stage, so come on up." Yang Jian's expression was a little ugly.
However, after a while, there was still no response from the crowd. It was as if Murong Xue wasn't even there.
"Xue 'er isn't here?" Yang Jian's expression grew even uglier. He turned around and spoke to a young man not far behind him.
This was the person who had told him that Murong Xue was already here.
"Senior brother Yang Jian, she's really … really here." When he saw that Yang Jian was clearly suppressing his anger, the young man's voice began to tremble.
"Then where is she?" Yang Jian's voice grew even heavier.
From what he could tell, this person had lied to him. If Murong Xue was really here, she would definitely rush up to the stage at the first sign of trouble.
"Junior sister Murong really is here, but … but I don't know where she is right now," the young man said miserably.
There were so many people below. Where would he find the time to keep an eye on Murong Xue?
"Junior sister Murong is here."
At that moment, a voice rang out from the back of the crowd.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice. Indeed, they saw Murong Xue in a secluded corner.
But wasn't that Linlong standing next to Murong Xue?
Could it be that Murong Xue had made a deal with senior brother Yang Jian, then rejected him because of Linlong's appearance?
That was the thought that flashed through everyone's minds.
Of course, as far as they were concerned, Linlong was courting death by standing here.
Murong Xue wasn't holding hands with Linlong, and there was some distance between them. Thus, Yang Jian didn't notice anything amiss.
As a result, when he saw Murong Xue, the smile that had just disappeared reappeared on his face.
"Xue 'er, what do you think? Are you frightened by my methods?" Yang Jian smiled confidently.
He really did see a hint of shock on Murong Xue's face.
Perhaps because so many people were looking at them, Murong Xue seemed to have calmed down. She spoke slowly, "Senior brother Yang Jian, did you remember wrongly? I never promised you anything."
What?
Could it be that Yang Jian's previous promise was just wishful thinking on his part?
When they heard Murong Xue's words, the corners of everyone's lips twitched.
"Xue 'er, on this day last year, didn't I tell you that I would marry you when I left?" Yang Jian frowned, the veins on his forehead bulging.
"This …" Murong Xue seemed to be thinking hard. After a long while, she came to a sudden realization, "Senior brother Yang Jian really did say that, but I've always treated you like a neighbor's older brother. Even when you said that, I thought you were just joking."
When they heard Murong Xue's words, everyone's lips twitched again.
Not only had Murong Xue forgotten about that, she didn't take Yang Jian's words seriously at all. It was all wishful thinking on Yang Jian's part.
"Then why don't I, your senior brother, say this very seriously to you? Senior brother, I hope that you can marry into the Yang family and become my wife! "Yang Jian's voice boomed through the entire plaza, his expression ugly.
He stared intently at Murong Xue.
Ever since he was young, he'd gotten whatever he wanted. Even if he wanted the moon and stars in the sky, his family and elders would do everything in their power to fulfill his wishes. He refused to believe that Murong Xue would turn him down.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Murong Xue.
