Lu Qian admitted without hesitation, "That's right. What else could I have done? Originally, I sealed your acupoints and planned to deal with it first before entering the bridal chamber. After the guests left, if you didn't come to find me, I would have to rush over to inform you. Who would have thought that even a hundred careful plans would slip up? I was on guard against everything, but I forgot that your internal energy had improved greatly recently. Before the twenty-four hours were up, the internal energy in your body had already helped you open your acupoints. That's fine. I was here trying my best to smooth things over for you, but you came running over to make trouble. Just wait and see. In a few days, this matter will definitely spread throughout Jianghu! When that time comes, let's see how you, the Alliance Leader, will put your face? If you don't want to thank me, then I'll let you be for the sake of our friendship. But you shouldn't have scolded me like that! "
Li Yijie beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying, "Brother Lu, oh Brother Lu, you're so muddle-headed! How can you think of smoothing things over now? You're really neglecting the essentials. No wonder after so many years of hard work, you're still not cut out for great things! Whatever reputation and face, go to hell! If you had told me about Xueer earlier, I would have been able to save her earlier! Now she's been in the hands of the Seven Demons for about a day and a night. How can she be in good condition? I don't know how much she's suffered, how much she's suffered! You … you … if anything happens to Xueer — "
Yuan Yi stepped forward and patted his shoulder, saying, "Brother Li, calm down. Everyone here today is willing to honor us with their presence. No matter how close we've been to each other in the past, we're all friends. Everyone in Jianghu can be considered to have their own power. Although most of us can't be said to have a life-or-death friendship with you, we're all duty-bound to help you when you're in trouble! It just so happens that everyone here is a ready-made coolie. Let's go around and ask around. Maybe we can find some clues. Everyone picks up firewood, the flame is the highest. Don't shoulder everything by yourself. "
Li Yijie's mind was a complete mess. He didn't even have the leisure to say a word of thanks. He hurriedly replied, "Then I'll have to trouble you!" But then he remembered that he wasn't familiar with most of these people, yet he had to trouble them to do such a dangerous thing. If he was the enemy of the Seven Demons, if he wasn't careful, he would lose his life.
However, when he saw that everyone's faces were filled with righteous indignation, and a few of them had already turned around and walked to the door. They were all very enthusiastic, so he didn't want to appear too distant. Perhaps in comparison, he was the one who really wasn't "material for great things". After this sudden change, he had almost completely lost his direction. Fortunately, Yuan Yi was quite calm and was still able to command, which was a great help to him. In his anxiety, he asked Lu Qian, "Does the Seven Malevolent Demons have anything to say?"
Lu Qian's mind went blank. He said, "No. Maybe he thinks that you'll understand what he wants to do." Li Yijie angrily said, "To hell with the tacit understanding!" He raised his voice and said, "Friends who came to watch the ceremony, I, Li Yijie, have caused you trouble. If you're willing to help, I'll naturally be grateful. If you're not willing, I won't force you. Stay here and drink some wine! "
A Snow Mountain Sect disciple said, "Alliance Leader Li, what are you saying? The righteous sects of the Central Plains have always been united. Now that we've met a rare and powerful enemy, if we don't join hands, how can we win? We're not trying to save an ordinary bride, we're trying to save our future Alliance Leader's wife! If you want to find her, our Snow Mountain Sect will be the first to help! " Since there was a precedent, all the sects and schools responded in unison. In the end, almost everyone agreed to help.
Li Yijie was so moved that he wanted to cry. He had never thought that this group of righteous sect disciples was so cute. He used to say that people were cold and indifferent, but it seemed that was not the case. He cupped his fists and said, "I, Li Yijie, will remember everyone's kindness. In the future, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will repay you! We won't say any more polite words for the time being. Let's split up and search. Once there's any news … even if it's the most insignificant clue, we must immediately send a messenger pigeon! We can't let go of any clues. "
Lu Qian stepped forward and said, "Brother Li, I'm also responsible for this. Let me go with you!" Li Yijie couldn't even be bothered to look at him, and said, "There's no need. You should stay here and continue the incomplete ceremony with Little Jade." As he spoke, everyone had already retreated out of the room.
Lu Qian's heart throbbed with pain as he looked at the hall that had instantly become silent. Suddenly, someone tugged at his sleeve. He turned his head and saw that it was Cheng Jiaxuan. He still had a timid expression on his face. Just looking at him made him angry. He said unhappily, "Why are you still here? Let's help them look for him! "
Cheng Jiaxuan said softly, "No, I'll stay with you. I don't know where to look, and Alliance Head Li won't be happy to see me. He doesn't need me to curry favor with him. "
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Fine. We're just two unwelcome people. We'll just stay here and wait for a while."
He felt an indescribable grief and indignation. He muttered to himself, "Was I really wrong? It seems that I was born to be a bad person. It's rare that I did a good deed and wanted to give my beloved woman to a good brother. Who would've thought that it would give birth to such a series of troubles? If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. After finding out about their marriage, I should've stayed far away. But now I'm pretending to be magnanimous? You see, even the heavens won't allow me to be so hypocritical. "
Cheng Jiaxuan comforted him, "Don't say that. It's not your fault. It's just that Alliance Head Li was angry and didn't choose his words carefully. I know that you still love Elder Sister Xueer, so why force yourself to let her go? Besides, even if you weren't with her at that time, you couldn't have changed her destiny. You're just taking the blame for Alliance Head Li. "
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly became excited and said, "I have an idea! Let's go find the Lord Baylor Ling! " He was still worried that Lu Qian wouldn't understand, so he patiently explained, "Xuan Shuang is … 'his' disciple. Maybe he knows some secret place to contact him. Unfortunately, he's been locked up by the Noble Consort Yun recently. I can't see him, so I'll have to rely on your help. "
Lu Qian raised his eyebrows, thinking that it would be great if there was really such a channel. But when it came from Cheng Jiaxuan's mouth, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. He said, "So what? Could it be that you've found out the whereabouts of the Seven Fiends Demon and are planning to betray him? Besides, I'm not a god. You can't see the Lord Baylor Ling, and he's the number one criminal under the Noble Consort Yun's strict watch. Do you think I have a way to see him? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said seriously, "Anything depends on effort. You haven't tried it yet, so how do you know it won't work? You want to expand your influence in the palace. Haven't you long wanted to curry favor with the Lord Baylor Ling? Now that he's in prison, he's definitely anxious to get out. If you can help him at this time, it's no different from sending charcoal in snowy weather. He'll remember your kindness … "
Lu Qian listened to her clear and logical explanation, but he still wasn't convinced. But he was a person who loved merit as much as his life. As long as there was even the slightest possibility, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity to render meritorious service. After thinking about it again and again, he finally nodded slowly. Cheng Jiaxuan was so happy that he clapped his hands and jumped up and down. Lu Qian secretly gritted his teeth. She got what she wanted, but she pushed all the dangerous burdens onto his head.

Shen Shiyun's eyes and ears were wide. It had only been a few hours since the incident happened. Her trusted aide had already come to report everything in detail.
Shen Shiyun looked pensive. Her fingertips lightly tapped on the table as she muttered to herself, "Li Yijie is really destined to be a troublesome person. Originally, it was the day when the bitterness was over and the sweetness was about to begin. Finally, he and Shimei formed a good match, but in the end, they still parted on bad terms. However, this is also good. Since he can't get married, he still has to stay by my side and work for me. He himself is worthless, but I still value the title of Wulin's Alliance Head very much. What's the situation now? Has he suffered a blow and become depressed again? Is he going to close his door and drink to drown his sorrows? "
The Imperial Bodyguard said, "No … it's exactly the opposite. He's more motivated than anyone else. He's the first one to run out to look for him. His gang of scoundrels also went with him. "
Shen Shiyun sneered, "He can't even keep an eye on his own bride and has to trouble the guests to help him look for her. This time, Li Yijie has really made a big fool of himself. Speaking of which, Nangong Xue is a jinx. Wherever she goes, she brings disaster with her. Official Lu lost Qing Tian Village because he sent people to look for her in the past few days. Young Marshal Yun has gone through fire and water many times, and everything has always been smooth sailing. However, when he met her, he even lost his life. As for Li Yijie, until now, he still hasn't achieved much. It's all because of this good Shimei who has always been by his side. "
The Imperial Bodyguard said in a low voice, "Niangniang is right. The most important thing now is to analyze the changes in the situation and the pros and cons it will bring to you." Shen Shiyun said, "Since I'm willing to silently observe the development of the situation, the situation is naturally on the positive side. I've long disliked that woman. She's always so eccentric, as if I'm going to touch her precious Shixiong! How I want to discipline my son, it's not up to her to interfere. The reason I listened to her suggestion like this is only to attract the fire to burn her own body. "
The Imperial Bodyguard said, "According to Official Lu, since the Seven Malevolent Demons only captured that stinky girl and didn't kill her on the spot, perhaps they were planning to use her as bait to threaten Lord Li." Shen Shiyun snorted coldly and said, "I've overestimated him. Humph, how could I know that he's so careless? Since he's captured that woman, he should just kill her. What's the point of threatening her? "
