As I dragged my heavy body towards the front hall, the front hall was already crowded with people.

The maids and servants were running around in a panic. I stopped a familiar servant and asked what was happening in the front hall.

The servant usually served around Lady Bi. His voice was hoarse and breathless:

"Sir, a group of unknown people arrived in the front hall, clamoring to take over the lordship of our city master. They started fighting without warning, even releasing poisonous smoke. Many guests in the front hall have collapsed, and those of us waiting outside dare not approach."

Thinking about the situation Lady Bi was facing, my heart ached. Just as I was about to rush into the front hall with my sword drawn, the servant grabbed me and hesitantly said:

"Sir, you better not go. I don't believe that scoundrel's words, but I can't guarantee that the city master and others won't believe him!"

My heart sank, realizing that in the front hall, Lord Wencheng must have already loudly declared my identity as a spy.

I forced a smile and said, "Even if they believe it, as long as I can save them, all grievances can be resolved."

The servant nodded blankly, then shook his head.

So be it.

I instructed him to hide with the surviving servants in the mansion, while I took my sword and headed towards the front hall.

"Lord Jiang, you're getting old. The past intimidation by force is no longer effective! In my opinion, a wise person knows the times; why persist? Become my subordinate!"

I heard the arrogant and self-important words of Lord Wencheng echoing through the hall.

"Yue'er!" exclaimed the city master's wife.

"By now, everyone in the hall has been affected by my poison. Even the strongest internal energy is useless. Once I find the newlyweds today, your Jiang family will be reunited!"

"Go, bring out our most esteemed bride and groom of the day." Lord Wencheng waved his hand, instructing a lackey to find me.

Peeking through the door crack, I saw Jiang Chengyue's face pale as Lord Wencheng dragged him up from the ground by the neck.

On the other side, City Master Jiang and his wife were sitting on the ground, their faces also looking eerie, with many martial artists collapsed around them.

But there was no sign of Lady Bi.

It seemed Lady Bi had not appeared yet, while Lord Wencheng believed she was with me.
