C1100 The Family Order
"Li Cheng!"
Along with the shout of the City Lord Mansion's Head Chief, amidst the cheers and congratulations of the guests, all the formalities and complicated procedures of Lian Yifeng's wedding had finally come to an end.
All the guests, according to the pre-arranged main order, sat down and gathered in a large banquet.
Lian Yifeng held Qu Youlan's hand and leisurely walked in front of Yun Fei and Jin Zhong, paying his respects and paying his respects.
Lian Yifeng knew in his heart that if Yun Fei wasn't present, it was still unknown whether he would be able to carry out his wedding smoothly.
Lian Dongming had always coveted Qu Youlan's beauty and talent. Previously, he wanted to take her in as a concubine but was rejected. Hatred grew in his heart, but later on, Lian Yifeng returned with a beauty. This caused Lian Dongming to feel even more vexed and jealous. Lian Dongming had come here on purpose to cause trouble. Luckily, he was forcefully driven away by Yun Fei.
When Lian Yifeng called out "Senior Jin" to the golden clock, it caused Elder Hui, who was standing at the side, to feel even more surprised and shocked. An unremarkable, foot-long Little Golden Dragon had actually been so respectful to by Lian Yifeng. Could it be because it was this young man's pet? This was impossible! Or was it because this Little Golden Dragon also had a great background?
Lian Dongshan was not satisfied with his food as he kept paying attention to the outside of the main hall. His father had clearly said in the Communication Talisman that the appointment of the city lord had already been announced. Calculating the time, it should be arriving at Phoenix Cry City soon. Why hadn't it been announced yet?
Right at this moment, a man wearing the uniform of a family guard ran into the main hall and ran towards the seat of honor.
He was here! Suddenly, Lian Dongshan's eyes lit up and his spirit was refreshed. He could not hide the excitement in his heart.
Although Phoenix Cry City wasn't a first-rate city in Wooden Lotus Star, it was still a very important town that governed thousands of miles. However, it was only a hundred years old, and it was already appointed as the lord of a city. It was rare to see someone in the Lian Family to be in charge of a city. This made Lian Dongshan feel that his father was really lucky to be connected to the Eldest Young Master Lian.
The family guard ran to Elder Hui's side and knelt on one knee. He held an exquisite Jade Box with both hands and said, "Elder Hui, I just received the Family Order. Elder Hui, please read it and announce it to the whole city."
The Family Order was a special method used by the Lian Family to pass down orders. It was also something that only the upper echelons of the family, the Elders Guild, could announce. The content of the Family Order was also the decision of the Elders Guild, and it couldn't be disobeyed.
Elder Hui naturally attached great importance to the Family Order. He bowed to the Jade Box first, then took the Jade Box with both hands solemnly.
The sudden arrival of the Family Order was on the day of Lian Yifeng's wedding. The guests that came included Lian Yifeng, Lian Wanzhou and his family. Even Elder Hui thought that this was a congratulatory speech of the family to Lian Yifeng, or even a reward.
The originally lively and festive hall was now filled with thunderous cheers.
"The grand wedding of the city lord, and the main star family actually congratulates him with Family Order. This is truly a supreme honor."
"That's true. The ancestor of the city lord was Lian Haoran. Back then, his cultivation base and talent were suppressed by his peers in the Consecutive Galaxy. It was just that later on, he unfortunately and heroically died in the Fiendgod Battlefield."
"Perhaps it was because of Senior Lian Haoran that the family bestowed such an honor upon him."
...
Lian Dongshan looked at Lian Wanzhou and Lian Yifeng on the stage with pride and glory on their faces. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing a sarcastic sneer. He thought to himself, "Hehe, smile. There will be a time when you all cry later!"
Looking at Lian Yifeng who was still immersed in the happiness of the wedding and the excitement of waiting for the opening of the Family Order, Yun Fei felt that this Family Order must have something to do with the news of the City Lord's appointment that he inadvertently heard in the inn.
"Mr. Yifeng, this matter..." Yun Fei wanted to say something but stopped himself. Thinking about it, it was better to forget about it. The content of the Family Order was already set in stone and could not be changed. No matter what order it was, Lian Yifeng had to face it. It was just that he would not stand idly by.
Under the anticipation of the guests and Lian Yifeng's family, Elder Hui opened the sealed Jade Box and took out a brocade scroll. He slowly opened it.
The words on the scroll emitted a faint golden light, and Elder Hui read it aloud. As he read it, golden words flew out of the scroll and gathered in the hall.
"Family Order, Lian Yifeng of the Wooden Lotus Star's Phoenix Cry City, although he is the City Lord. He did not manage the city well, and his actions were mediocre. He did not do much, which led to the decline of the industry in Phoenix Cry City, and the suffering of the people. I have failed to fulfill the heavy responsibility of my family. Now, I have exempt Lian Yifeng from his position as the City Lord. He would become the commander of the guards of the east gate of Phoenix Cry City. Lian Dongshan of the Wooden Lotus Star's Xing Luan City was extremely talented, and he was a young man with great achievements. He was appointed as the City Lord of the Phoenix Cry City. I'll be there as soon as the order is given."
When Elder Hui announced the order, the hall was silent. The contents of the Family Order had exceeded everyone's expectations. Lian Wanzhou and Lian Yifeng's expressions changed dramatically, and their faces were filled with grief, humiliation, and helplessness.
This Family Order was clearly targeting Lian Yifeng, wanting to rush to his wedding day. Come! He wanted to humiliate ___ and make him suffer in front of all the guests in the city! To Lian Yifeng, falling from the clouds in front of his family and friends... It was too cruel!
A dignified City Lord, a City Lord who had no mistakes and had a good reputation among the people in the city. He was instantly demoted to a guard commander who guarded the main gate. This not only made Lian Yifeng's family unable to believe it, but also his family. Even the guests who came felt that it was inconceivable.
However, the golden words of the Family Order that was condensed in midair were still glittering brightly, showing the authenticity of the Family Order.
Elder Hui, who was reading the Family Order, was also stunned for a moment before he slowly put away the embroidered scroll. After putting the Jade Box in, the golden characters within the hall also dispersed with a loud bang. The originally silent hall immediately became in an uproar. Almost all the guests felt that this Family Order was unfair. They were all complaining about Lian Yifeng's injustice.
Elder Hui had been stationed in the Wooden Lotus Star for a long period of time, so he had some understanding of the Phoenix Cry City. He was well aware of Lian Yifeng, the city lord of Phoenix Cry City, and was quite competent. From the bottom of his heart, he also felt that this Family Order was unfair. He also knew that Lian Dongming's bloodline was suppressing and humiliating Lian Yifeng. However, he was powerless to do anything about it. He had also received many benefits from Lian Dongming's bloodline over the years.
After putting away the Jade Box, he turned around and said to Lian Yifeng, who seemed to have lost his divine soul, "Little Feng, this is the Family Order. No matter what, you should carry it out. I will rush to Xing Luan City right now and announce to Eastern Mountain that he will be coming to attend my appointment."
"Elder Hui, there's no need to trouble you with such a long journey. Dongshan is here!" Among the crowd, Lian Dongshan leaped up and flew over.
Kneeling on one knee, he clasped his hands towards Elder Hui and said, "Junior Lian Dongshan greets Elder Hui. Dongshan has already heard the contents of the Family Order from below. Dongshan will definitely not disappoint the family's expectations and entrusted the task of rebuilding Phoenix Cry City."
"Since that's the case, it's also good. Dongshan, go back and make some preparations. Come and attend tomorrow's appointment." Elder Hui waved his hand and said.
"Elder Hui, according to the Family Order, the order is given. Dongshan dare not disobey. Actually, there's nothing to prepare. I can attend the appointment now!" Lian Dongshan said.
