Chapter 604 - 279: Li Changqing’s Return!
Li Jingsong directly blocked the path of the two.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Li Jingsong, with sighs all around the city. What was this person doing?
Daring to stand in front of Yue Qingwu and Lin Qingyi's wedding carriage?
Was he courting death?
Monarch Yuehan watched this scene, squinting his eyes.
At this moment, experts in Celestial Sea City were about to step forward, but Monarch Yuehan leisurely said, "Stand down."
Since Monarch Yuehan had spoken, they naturally hurriedly retreated.
Monarch Yuehan did not stop it because he also recognized who this person really was.
His former good brother.
Li Jingsong.
Li Jingsong's gaze lingered on the woman with the veil. For countless days and nights, this girl had appeared in his dreams.
He had imagined her wearing a phoenix coronet and red bridal dress countless times, but Li Jingsong never thought that it would be someone else by Yue Qingwu's side.
"Li Jingsong, what do you mean by this?"
At this moment, Lin Qingyi took a step forward in mid-air, calmly looking at Li Jingsong. Today was his day of great joy, only to be stopped here by Li Jingsong. The whole world was watching; Lin Qingyi's voice was icy cold, even harboring hidden murderous intent.
Was he here to stir up trouble?
Hearing the name Li Jingsong, Yue Qingwu, sitting there, shivered slightly.
But soon after, Yue Qingwu regained her calm. Perhaps she had long thought a day like this would come, but Yue Qingwu never thought it would be at her wedding.
"Yue Qingwu, shouldn't you say something to me?" Li Jingsong stood there in despair, holding a pot of wine, his eyes slightly dazed as he looked at the person in front of him.
"What do you want me to say?"
Yue Qingwu said indifferently, "I thought we had broken off long ago. It's been so many years, and have you never looked for me? Why, now that I am marrying someone else, do I still need your approval?"
"Yes, I haven't looked for you for many years." Li Jingsong chuckled bitterly, "I'm no longer the Painting Saint. I felt unworthy of you, so I hid away, like a coward. I thought that because I hid, you couldn't find me. But now, I finally realize that if you wanted to find me, it would have been the easiest thing in the world, only you never bothered to look, right?"
"To you, I'm just garbage, someone who is useless after being used. You told me you wanted to see the dragon, just to deceive me to go to the Void Dragon Island. You just wanted me to make way for your brother, am I right?"
With a miserable laugh, Li Jingsong said, "Perhaps you never expected that I could return alive from the Void Dragon Island, right?"
After saying this, Yue Qingwu did not speak, only raised her hand to remove the veil from her head.
The moment the veil was pulled off, a complex expression flickered in Li Jingsong's eyes.
Yue Qingwu was still as beautiful as before!
So beautiful, it moved the heart.
She could easily capture a man's heart.
Playfully manipulated at will.
Li Jingsong was one.
Lin Qingyi was another.
Once, as one of the most trusted by Realm Master Cangyuan, Lin Qingyi ended up betraying Jiang Tianyun, a result entirely due to Yue Qingwu's prowess.
Understanding this, Li Jingsong laughed self-mockingly. So, he too had been played like this back then.
"Since you've said this much, what does it matter if I admit it?"
Yue Qingwu stood up, gazing at Li Jingsong and said, "Yes, sending you to Void Dragon Island to paint dragons was indeed my idea! I indeed never expected you to come back alive from there. I originally thought you would never appear before me again, and now you come to me, what is it that you want?"
"Just to know the truth?"
"If so, the truth is here, and now you can leave."
Yue Qingwu's attitude was very cold.
"I..."
At this moment, Li Jingsong was somewhat bewildered. Perhaps he had imagined Yue Qingwu in any other way in his heart, but never this way?
For a moment, Li Jingsong found himself at a loss for words.
"Brother Li, today is my sister's wedding; let's not make it unpleasant. Why don't we have a cup of wine together?"
Just then, Monarch Yuehan's ethereal voice came.
Upon hearing this, Li Jingsong looked towards Monarch Yuehan sitting far away on the throne of Realm Master Cangyuan, then calmly said, "This 'Brother Li' is something I dare not accept. You are the renowned Realm Master Cangyuan, and I am nothing but a stray dog. How can I bear you calling me Brother Li?"
Upon hearing this, Monarch Yuehan was not angered but smiled, "Brother Li, we were once good brothers. There's no need for this now. My little sister was mischievous then and tricked Brother Li to the Void Dragon Island; that was her fault. I heard it damaged Brother Li's foundation, so why not stay, let me have a look? I have many Secret Techniques in Celestial Sea City, perhaps they can restore Brother Li's foundation."
"No need to trouble the esteemed Realm Master with this."
"It's merely a case of my poor judgment, a punishment brought upon myself." Li Jingsong sneered coldly, "Whether it was Yue Qingwu doing it, I'm not clear now. After all, Realm Master Cangyuan can abandon even his own son, and trap and kill his own wife. To you, my outsider's life is just as worthless as grass."
Upon hearing this, Monarch Yuehan's face darkened.
