However, just like the stalker had said, he could expose Yang Kai’s identity by simply shouting it out loudly. By then, Yang Kai would never be able to leave White Jade City.
In that case, he could only play it by ear. He wanted to find out who was behind all this and what their intentions were.
They took countless turns as Yang Kai followed that person.
He suddenly realised that White Jade City was currently bustling with noise as the sounds of drums could be heard from time to time.
As though noticing his doubt, the person at the front said in a small voice, “In three days, the Meng Manor’s Eldest Young Lady and our Young City Lord will be getting married. It’s wonderful news for all of us in the city.”
“They’ll be married in three days?” Yang Kai was astonished upon hearing that.
“That’s right. The Young City Lord has personally proposed marriage, and the Meng Family Patriarch agreed to it. It could be said that the Meng Family has found a powerful backer.”
Yang Kai’s face fell as he realized he was one step too late. Feng Cheng Si had made a quick and decisive move.
During the encounter at Gratitude Shrine, Yang Kai said that he had a better chance of winning the Eldest Young Lady’s heart as he was close to her; however, he was soon asked to escort some goods following the Meng Family Patriarch’s order. Eventually, there was an ambush that awaited him.
Now, he had lost all his advantages while Feng Cheng Si had gained the upper hand.
He didn’t think that Feng Cheng Si was a despicable person. He had his own motives for coming to this Samsara World, so he had to do his best to achieve his goals. The person with better methods would have the last laugh.
The fact that he was ambushed should have nothing to do with Feng Cheng Si. He reckoned that it was the Meng Family Patriarch’s doing.
However, Yang Kai had no idea who the middleman between the Meng Manor and Hidden Treasure Peak was.
From Yang Kai’s perspective, he naturally wouldn’t allow the wedding to take place; however, he didn’t have enough time to come up with a solution in just three days, and he was now faced with this situation that was shrouded in mystery.
“We’ve arrived at our destination.” The man stood in front of a house and extended his hand.
Yang Kai nodded and stepped into the house, but there was no one inside.
He turned to look at the man, who appeared embarrassed, “Sir told me to bring you to this place, and there were no further instructions. He said that you’ll realise he really means no harm after you enter.”
After a moment of silence, Yang Kai went further into the house and saw a red invitation card on the table.
While feeling doubtful, he picked it up and realised that it was an invitation card from the Meng Manor. With this invitation card, he would be able to attend the Eldest Young Lady’s wedding in three days.
Yang Kai arched his brow as he felt a sense of discomfort that his intentions had been seen through.
This invitation card was apparently targeted at him. The mastermind realised his thoughts and even created an opportunity for him.
There was no doubt that this invitation card was difficult to come by as the average person wouldn’t be able to get his hands on one. Fewer than 100 people in White Jade City had the right to receive such an invitation card.
The mastermind left behind one invitation card here for him, which suggested that the person had a powerful background.
The person who led Yang Kai to this place secretly fled while the latter was going through the invitation card. Yang Kai didn’t bother stopping him.
Since the mastermind had made such an arrangement, he naturally wouldn’t harm Yang Kai in the short term. It was obvious that this person wanted Yang Kai to make a scene at the wedding. His scheme would definitely be revealed by then.
Yang Kai didn’t intend to be led by the nose as he pocketed the invitation card. In the middle of the night, he put on some dark clothes and secretly left.
He had to head to the Meng Manor to see whether he could enter the inner court and see the Eldest Young Lady.
Yang Kai had been a personal bodyguard in the Meng Manor for several months, so he was fully aware of the arrangements within the manor. He felt that he had a chance to sneak in.
However, the reality was that the security in the Meng Manor had become far stricter. He still hadn’t found a chance even after waiting for a long time, so he could only give up in the end.
In that case, he could only look for an opportunity in three days. With the invitation card, he was supposedly able to enter the Meng Manor safely. The problem was how he was going to see the Eldest Young Lady in that situation and ask her about her intentions, thus allowing him to bring her out of that place.
He had snatched a bride during a wedding before, so this was not a new experience for him. At that moment, he was torn between tears and laughter.
