Tian Meng Ji was a little embarrassed, but he swallowed his pride then he pretended to ask Bei Li Yan casually, "When is the wedding being held?"

Bei Li Yan tilted her head with a puzzled look, "Who… you mean my lord and young madam's wedding?"

​​

"Who else?!" Tian Meng Ji scolded him.

Bei Li Yan was used to Tian Meng Ji's temper so he didn't take offense at Tian Meng Ji's rude reply instead he found it funny, "Why are you asking, if I'm not mistaken you weren't invited" he smiled sarcastically.

Tian Meng Ji's face turned red as his irritation flared within him, "Who said I wasn't invited!" he hit the table harder and the table broke, luckily Bei Li Yan quickly grabbed the cup and flask with both hands.

"Well, you're not on the guest list..." he said calmly as he placed the wine bottle and wine cup on the side table.

Tin Meng Ji choked with anger, what else could he say he was indeed not invited by Zhao Li Xin, actually Zhao Li Xin didn't want to meet him at all. Tian Meng Ji clenched his fists and groaned furiously, "It's all because of that vixen!"

"Watch your mouth!" Bei Li Yan's expression suddenly darkened at the same time the cheerfulness he shows before disappearing without a trace, "You better not insult the young madam in front of me!" he sternly warned Tian Meng Ji.

Bei Li Yan's serious attitude made Tian Meng Ji's hatred towards Lory deepen, "Hemp, were you also tempted by that vixen!"

"SILENCE!" Bei Li Yan's anger sparks, he throws the wine cup right at Tian Meng Ji's feet.

Tian Meng Ji was surprised he didn't expect to receive such a strong reaction from Bei Li Yan. Anger and frustration swelled up inside him and he blamed everything on Lory, "You!" Tian Meng Ji got up from his seat abruptly "What's the matter with you, are you against me because of that woman, did that vixen seduce you too!"

The Qi inside Bei Li Yan burst like wildfire, and all the furniture around them slammed against the wall and throw out of the window. Bei Li Yan shook with fury, "How dare you tal like that about her, what do you know about her, do you ever know what she had been through…"

Tian Meng Ji shut his mouth while Bei Li Yan shoots dagger at Tian Meng Ji "You are a stubborn and petty man, no wonder Lu Yao and Tang Mei Yi able to fooled you for years" Bei Li Yan coldly sneer.

However, Tian Meng Ji did not know that Bei Li Yan and the other King's palace cultivations had improved greatly under Zhao Li Xin's supervision. Bei Li Yan released seventy percent of his strength and it was enough to tame Tian Meng Ji's powerful Qi.

Bei Li Yan raised his chin as he scoffed at Tian Meng Ji "Why can't I talk like that about them if it's true? Lu Yao never loved you and you know it yourself, you know he's been obsessed with other men for years. Son. You knew that all along too. Lu Yao was just using You to protect her from her enemies the same as Tang Mei Yi, she is a woman who runs a mercenary group, she receives a fee by killing other people whether the person is guilty or not, she had shamelessly takes advantage of Zhao Li Xin's name to expand her influence and her group"

Bei Li Yan's words make Tian Meng Ji speechless, everything he said was true so he had no words to rebuke.

Anger still enveloped him, Bei Li Yan's expression was filled with anger and disappointment towards Tian Meng Ji but most importantly he felt sad for Zhao Li Xin. From the start, he knew Zhao Li Xin only allowed very few people in her small circle, and Tian Meng Ji was one of the people in that small circle, yet Tian Meng Ji hurt Zhao Li Xin again and again.

All this time Bei Li Yan had pity on Zhao Li Xin, never in his life had she seen someone who had everything but at the same time, he had nothing at all. The power he had, the wealth he had acquired, and the reputation he had received were nothing to Zhao Li Xin. Bei Li Yan could see the emptiness in his eyes grew every day. Seeing Zhao Li Xin's eyes was like seeing the night sky without moon or stars, only darkness and cold remained and it was painful to see him like that.

Jin Hao said what scared him was not because Zhao Li Xin died from poison, but he worries one day he deliberately took his own life just because he felt there was nothing to do or he ended up getting tired of living.

Bei Li Yan used to say Jin Hao was overthinking but actually, he felt the same way, maybe after all his enemies died and he stood at the pinnacle of life he would finally lose the only joy he had when that happened, what else left for him.

Everyone close to Zhao Li Xin was worried because Zhao Li Xin seemed more detached by surrounding her, like Zhao Li Xin living inside the invisible glass. He could see them but he was never a part of them, even with Mong Ki and Mong Yi beside him since childhood they still couldn't enter the impregnable glass around Zhao Li Xin. They were all worried but there was nothing they could do, then one day Lory suddenly came.

As if the fire within him finally ignited, Zhao Li Xin finally found something that he could love and cherished. for once in Zhao Li Xin's life that he had a reason to keep on living.

That's why no one in the Hei Shen sect cared about Lory's true identity, no one bother about her background, they didn't care whether Lory was a stupid woman or a scheming woman, she could be a gold digger or a vicious woman but they don't care as long as she could keep the fire within Zhao Li Xin alive.

Why couldn't Tian Meng Ji see this, without Lory he would return to being a living shell again, what Tian Meng Ji failed to understand is that Lory is one and only Zhao Li Xin's chance to survive.

"Tang Mei Yi even tried to kill the young madam out of jealousy and Lu Yao helps her. Let me ask you between the young madam and Tang Mei Yi who is better? "

Tian Meng Ji's jaw remained hardened, he found it hard to accept this, "But she is an outsider...a witch!" he remained persistent.

Bei Li Yan sighed helplessly, slowly the corner of his mouth lifted, he looked at Tian Meng Ji deeply and said: "She is much more than that..." he profoundly said.

The old man's eyebrows furrow, he had seen that woman fight against the Sanguan family so he knows Lory is more than meets the eyes however, because of that he felt more worry for Zhao Li Xin safety, "What if she hurt Zhao Li Xin?"

Bei Li Yan smile "The only way she would hurt milord if she was dead…"

Tian Meng Ji still have it hard to believe "Why Li Xin love her so much"

"Because she make him feel good to be alive"

Lory looked at the dome roof painted with a beautiful painting above his head, then he saw the carved walls painted in gold and silver. Under the domed roof, dozens of giant crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling and illuminates the room with a silvery glow.

Lory then realized that she was wearing a long tulle dress decorated with diamond beads, she wondered when she changed her dress, Lory subconsciously touched her head and realized someone had done her hair.

Suddenly he heard a commotion behind him and Lory reflexively turned around, what she saw next took her by surprise. Lory thought her heart stop beating as she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Lucas with a dark purple suit and black tie climb the white marble stairs, his messy blue hair was comb straight back, make his face feature more defined, Lucas's smile was gentle with the hint of playfulness just like she remembered. Tears brimmed in her eyes as Lucas got closer.

Lucas then stopped one step away from her and then he slightly bent his waist with one hand resting on his chest, then he slowly straightened his back and stretched his arms towards her in a gentlemanly manner.

Lory saw his hands were wearing white gloves, Lory couldn't help but smile as she took Lucas's hands with a graceful smile.

Lucas winked at him before he led Lory down the stairs. when Lory came down the stairs she cast her eyes across the guests in the room and she couldn't believe her eyes.
