Chapter 242: Objection

"Excuse me... are you here to attend my parents\' wedding?" She raised her chubby little face, asking hopefully.

"Yes, we are your father\'s friends."

"Wow, what a cute little girl! What\'s your name?"

"My name is Du Juan. What\'s your name, sister?"

"I\'m Huang Yueru, a friend of your father from Hongye High School."

"Liu Yao here, your father and I became friends after an interesting start."

"Haha, I’m Wang Siyu. Little girl, I’m also one of your dad\'s friends..."

The people at the front were members of Hongye High School’s battle team.

"Brother, you are so handsome," Little Du Juan said as she gazed at the black-haired boy in front of her.

Gu Haochen, also known as Little Sword Immortal, couldn\'t help but smile smugly, "Am I more handsome than you father?"

Little Du Juan tilted her head thoughtfully, "Today, Daddy is the most handsome."

What a clever answer.

Everyone burst into laughter. After going through that difficult battle, the two rival teams had become fast friends. The team members added each other on LightChat and frequently scheduled training sessions on the light-network. This was the advantage of self-improvement. A couple of years ago, those from Hongye High School, known as the sixth powerhouse in the league, would never have paid any attention to the underdogs from Red Flag High School.

There were also team members from other schools behind the group from Hongye High School, including star players from the league. Among them was Zheng Shou, also known as The Beast, and a few others. They had been fierce enemies on the battlefield, but had now become friends in real life. They had shown up not only because of their connection to Bai Longfei but also because they had received a call from Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei now had a massive influence in the high school league. Even though he had not intentionally cultivated friendships with his peers, for some reason, many had already begun to see Li Xiaofei as the spiritual leader of this year\'s high school league participants.

It wasn’t just because of Li Xiaofei’s strength. It was also because, during a match, in front of everyone, he boldly shouted that forbidden word at the entire Liuhe Base City— Championship!

In an era where the league had suffered the oppressive rule of the five prestigious schools for decades, Li Xiaofei was the first ordinary high school student to defy their monopoly and shout out the slogan for winning the championship.

This word struck a chord in the hearts of countless ordinary students. It had birthed hope like a sword piercing through the clouds. Many secretly admired him for this reason alone. So, they all came with just a single phone call.

In that call, Li Xiaofei had explained the situation clearly. He had also made it clear that attending might offend the Du family, one of the five great families. But they all still came.

This was youthful passion. They were all at the prime of their lives and full of youthful vigor. They were still in those years when dreams hadn’t died, and ambitions still burned brightly in their hearts. How could they retract a helping hand extended to a friend just because of the Du family\'s threats?

When Bai Longfei received the news, he was shocked and hurried downstairs to greet them and express his gratitude.

"Haha, Little Bai, you’ve really outdone yourself."

"You rascal, we’ve known each other for a while, and you’re getting married without inviting me? Are you afraid I won’t give enough as a wedding gift?"

"That’s not very loyal of you."

"Wow, the groom, marrying so young!"

The crowd immediately began teasing Bai Longfei as soon as they approached.

Bai Longfei felt immense gratitude in his heart. He knew that they were here out of respect for Li Xiaofei, but he still repeatedly bowed in thanks and happily arranged for everyone to take their seats. The waitstaff at Qingya Pavilion couldn’t help but look at Bai Longfei with newfound respect when they saw how the boss’ young husband managed to gather so many top students under such circumstances.

The once quiet hall suddenly became lively and bustling. Little Du Juan flitted around the crowd like a happy cuckoo, quickly becoming the center of attention.

Guests continued to pour into the hall. Shen Yan, known as the Little White Dragon in the Waves, arrived with his assistant, who was wearing black stockings. Principal Chen Fei, with his peach blossom eyes, along with Old Qin and more than ten other teachers from Red Flag High School, also showed up to attend the wedding.

Shortly after, the legendary businesswoman Xiao Hongye, accompanied by her assistant, appeared at the doorway. Then, the members of the Cloudy Sky Gang also arrived. Hall Master Chu Yuntian, Yang Cheng, and other influential Hall Masters, all dressed in suits and ties, came bearing gifts, trying to look respectable.

The elite members of the Cloudy Sky Gang\'s hunting team, led by their top enforcer Li Junjie, appeared fully armed and full of energy, taking positions around the Qingya Pavilion and the surrounding streets to maintain order.

"What are you doing here? Just here to watch? Get lost and stop blocking the way."

"And you, not satisfied? Come out and fight me one-on-one."

"The Cloudy Sky Gang is handling this. If any of your gangs have a problem, step forward and speak up."

"If you have nothing to do, then scram and stop being an eyesore."

Li Junjie, the top enforcer known as Red Pole, cursed the gang members who had come to support the Du family without hesitation or mercy. The members of the smaller gangs quickly retreated with their tails between their legs. The Cloudy Sky Gang had become a force to be reckoned with and was not to be provoked.

In the distance, Du Hongfei, hidden among the crowd, watched the scene unfold with clenched teeth, his face twisted in bitter hatred. After being brutally beaten last time, Du Hongfei had gone back and conducted a thorough investigation until he finally uncovered Li Xiaofei’s background. He discovered that Li Xiaofei was just a high school student who also happened to lead a gang.

Du Hongfei swore that he would get his revenge. However, the Du family’s elder patriarch discovered some of his covert actions and put a halt to it. The old patriarch promised him that he would have a proper chance for revenge.

Today was supposed to be that opportunity. Du Hongfei had organized a large group of people to surround Qingya Pavilion under the guise of a non-violent non-cooperation protest. His goal was to make Bai Longfei and Miao Youwei, that detestable couple, as uncomfortable as possible, to throw a wrench in their plans, and at the same time, to irritate Li Xiaofei.

But the scheme he had so cleverly devised was completely thwarted by a single phone call from Li Xiaofei.

"How does this little bastard have so much influence?" Du Hongfei seethed with anger and humiliation in secret.

He was filled with an intense desire to order the Du family\'s top fighters to tear Li Xiaofei to pieces and teach these poor students who dared to disrespect the Du family a lesson they would never forget. But the stern warnings from the elder patriarch echoed in his mind, and he restrained himself. The time wasn’t right yet. He would hold back for now. After all, he was certain that he would have his revenge today.

Another half hour passed, and the guests had all arrived. The wedding ceremony finally began as beautiful music began to play in the restaurant.

As the emcee passionately delivered the opening words, the newlyweds walked hand in hand onto the stage. The sacred moment had finally arrived.

The hall filled with the sound of thunderous applause and waves of blessings from all around. Everyone clapped while smiling warmly at the happy couple. But just then...

Bang!

The doors were suddenly flung open.

"I object." A loud but aged voice echoed from outside the door.
