Chapter 369: The Start of a Wedding Hijack

“Right now, the protagonist of the ‘Inner Voice’ flow, Li Yuan, is obediently staying at the Cliff of Reflection.”

“According to his inner voice, the plot won’t start until the last day of his confinement.”

“So, there’s no need to worry about him for now.”

“As for the protagonist Lin Yu, who has the ‘Confession for 99 Days’ system, we don’t need to worry about him either. We can deal with him after he’s confessed for seventy or eighty days…”

“Given that, it’s time to check on Murong Bufan…”

“Let’s see what he did to turn himself into ‘Murong Bufew’!”

Recently, Wang Haoran had been frequently using the “Any Door” to visit the ancient martial world, gathering information on people Murong Bufan cared about.

There were very few, only two, and both were women:

Wang Yuanjun, the sister of the current head of the Wang family in Yongling Town, and also Murong Bufan’s mother.

Wang Yuxi, the daughter of the current head of the Wang family in Yongling Town, and also Murong Bufan’s former fiancée.

As for the Wang family, they were the most prominent family in Yongling Town, which was under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Holy Land.

The Wang family’s development had been greatly supported by the Murong family, so the two families had a very good relationship and often intermarried.

Just like Murong Bo and Wang Yuanjun, and Murong Bufan and his cousin Wang Yuxi.

However, after the decline of the Murong family, the relationship between the two families began to deteriorate.

In fact, about three months before the Murong family was exterminated, the Wang family forcibly broke off the engagement, causing the Murong family to lose face.

According to insiders, at that time, Murong Bufan stubbornly shouted, “Thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank, don’t bully the young and poor!”—a phrase that left a deep impression!

However.

The engagement breakup was decided by the Wang family elders themselves, and the person involved, Wang Yuxi, actually didn’t want to break off the engagement with her childhood sweetheart cousin.

“It’s not a typical engagement breakup story… and the childhood sweethearts have a strong bond…”

“Even after the breakup, people have seen Murong Bufan publicly promise Wang Yuxi that he would definitely marry her…”

Suddenly.

Wang Haoran had a new idea—

“System, since Murong Bufan and the female lead Wang Yuxi have such a strong relationship.”

“If Wang Yuxi were to get married, do you think Murong Bufan would show up?”

[Of course he would!]

<Of course he would!>

Xiaoxing, although not fully understanding the situation, followed the system’s response.

Then, the small figure appeared, jumping into Wang Haoran’s arms for a hug.

“Xiaoxing, good girl!”

Her silver hair was gently stroked by Wang Haoran, making her feel very happy.

Wang Haoran continued speaking.

“If it were in the past, with Murong Bufan’s personality, if Wang Yuxi were getting married, he would definitely cause trouble.”

“But now that he’s become ‘Eunuch Murong,’ if his mindset has changed, and his childhood sweetheart ‘good sister’ is getting married, what if he gives his blessings instead…”

[…I don’t think that would happen…]

[By the way, Host, why do you care about this?]

“Because I thought of something interesting!”

Wang Haoran smiled.

“System, think about it!”

“In the old novels, it was always the villain forcing the female lead into marriage, and then the male lead would come to hijack the wedding.”

“But now, times have changed.”

“Nowadays, the plot often starts with the protagonist realizing they’ve transmigrated into a novel, becoming the ‘villain’ who forces the female lead into marriage.”

“And according to the plot, the so-called ‘male lead’ will come to hijack the wedding and conveniently take down the ‘villain.'”

“Just when the ‘villain’ is panicking, suddenly, ‘ding—’ a system arrives!”

“With the system, the ‘villain’ gains confidence and prepares to suppress the male lead to earn system rewards.”

“On the day of the grand wedding, the ‘villain’ gathers all the forces of the family or sect, setting up an inescapable trap, waiting for the ‘male lead’ to walk right into it!”

“With the system and prior knowledge of the plot, the ‘villain’ easily beats the ‘male lead,’ who was supposed to show off, into a dead dog.”

“The female lead then comes out to plead for mercy.”

“And even though the ‘villain’ has acted, they can’t bring themselves to kill the ‘male lead’ because the ‘male lead’ has high luck and is protected by the heavens!”

“So the ‘villain’ takes advantage of this, saying that for the female lead’s sake, they’ll spare the ‘male lead’s’ life, as long as the ‘male lead’ bows down.”

“But this ‘male lead,’ who is stubborn at best and arrogant at worst, refuses to comply.”

“Thus, the ‘villain’ uses this to make the female lead disappointed in the ‘male lead’s’ bad temper.”

“The relationship between the male and female leads begins to crack.”

“The ‘villain’ then takes advantage of the situation, winning the female lead’s favor, wooing her, suppressing the male lead, and earning system rewards!”

After Wang Haoran finished speaking.

The system was silent for a long time: [……]

It only said one thing.

[…Host, have you been flirting with other systems?]

Wang Haoran: “……?”

What nonsense are you suddenly spouting?!

“Of course not!”

[Hmph, then why are you so skilled at this!?]

“……”

“System, are you… doubting me?”

Helpless.

Wang Haoran sighed, then, with a tone of disappointment, began to weave… began to confide.

“I’ve been working tirelessly to earn luck points for you, even going to certain shady sites to study!”

“Now that I’ve learned something, I wanted to share it with you.”

“But you’re doubting me!”

“Sigh, I never expected that you wouldn’t even have this little bit of trust in me!”

[…Really?]

“Absolutely genuine!”

[…Alright then… Host, I’m sorry…]

Although the system apologized, its voice sounded quite happy.

The speechless Wang Haoran continued.

“System, what do you think about using this wedding hijack ‘villain’ tactic against Murong Bufan?”

“Do you think it’ll work?”

[It definitely will!]

“Then let’s give it a try!”

Although this tactic might not be the most effective, it’s fresh and interesting!

As for how to get the Wang family to marry Wang Yuxi to him, Wang Haoran already had a plan.

However.

Just as Wang Haoran was planning to find a time to visit the Wang family in Yongling Town.

Another protagonist came knocking on his door—

It happened after dinner.

While taking a walk, Xia Xinyan suddenly brought up something about Lin Yu.

“Haoran, did you know?”

“That Lin Yu is really a piece of work!”

“After being released from the detention center, everyone thought he would lay low for a while.”

“But he didn’t. He started causing trouble again that very day!”

Wang Haoran was curious, “Did he go to confess to Xi Qingmeng again?”

“No!”

Xia Xinyan’s tone was full of disdain:

“If he had continued confessing to Senior Qingmeng, people might have praised him for being devoted.”

“But this time, he didn’t go to Senior Qingmeng; he went to confess to another school beauty from our school!”

“…Who was it?”

Wang Haoran asked, and Xia Xinyan immediately answered—

“It was Ranran!”

“He actually went to confess to Ranran!”
