Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 158 My Husband

It was still dark.

Patrol teams and disciples from the Demon Suppression Academy were mobilized throughout the city to search for suspicious persons from house to house.

The killing of the Demon Suppression Academy disciples in the city last time has already alarmed many people.

This time, it was members of the Yuan family who died.

The government offices in the outer city and the entire Demon Suppression Academy were alarmed and sent people out to investigate the murderer.

In an instant, chaos erupted throughout the city, and people were awakened from their sleep.

Important locations on all streets have been blocked off.

Those vendors who got up early to do business, and those who got up early to do chores, were all confined to their homes.

The government suddenly issued an order that everyone in the outer city must stay at home today and cannot go anywhere.

So after daybreak, the streets of the entire outer city of Wangxing City were deserted, except for solemn-looking road blockers and some hurried searchers.

The atmosphere throughout the city suddenly became incredibly tense.

In a small courtyard in the Red Leaf Alley.

Nightingale had gotten up early and was making breakfast in the kitchen.

Grandma had already gotten up and was helping her add firewood to start the fire.

Luo Qingfeng and Aya were still sleeping in their rooms.

Grandma asked curiously, "Why is Aya up so late today? She's usually up long ago by now."

Nightingale, spreading out the pancakes, said, "Maybe I went to bed late last night."

When she talked about last night, her face suddenly turned red.

Although I tried my best to restrain myself last night, even covering my mouth with my hand and biting someone hard, I still couldn't help but make quite a commotion in the end.

Although that girl Aya didn't speak, her ears were extremely sharp, so she must have heard it.

Grandma gave her a meaningful look and said, "Ah Ying, you and Ah Feng are already like this, haven't you thought about when to get married?"

Nightingale paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "No wedding ceremony."

Grandma asked doubtfully, "Why don't we have a wedding ceremony? It's improper for two people to be together without one. People will laugh at you, and they'll laugh at Afeng too. Besides... Afeng is so outstanding, aren't you afraid that if you don't have a wedding ceremony with him now, he might marry someone else later?"

The nightingale didn't speak again, silently spreading out the pancakes.

After a moment, she spoke softly, "I don't want to drag him into this."

Grandma sighed, "Is it because of our family?"

Nightingale shook her head, and just as she was about to speak, a series of noisy footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a loud knocking.

Someone outside shouted, "Is anyone home? Open the door!"

Nightingale frowned, put down the spatula, walked out of the kitchen, and asked, "Who's there?"

The person outside replied, "It's the government! Open the door quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the nightingale paused for a moment, then immediately went over and opened the courtyard gate.

Four men dressed in government uniforms with broadswords at their waists stood outside the door, along with two men in blue robes.

The blue robe had the emblem of the Demon Suppression Academy embroidered on the cuffs and chest.

Nightingale's expression turned serious.

One of the officials took out a piece of paper and said coldly, "We are ordered to search every household on this street. We hope you will cooperate! Call out everyone in your family and produce your place of origin and residence documents. If there are any strangers here, call them out immediately! If you conceal anything, you will bear the consequences!"

Nightingale frowned slightly, took out her Demon Suppression Academy badge, handed it over, and asked, "What happened?"

"Oh, it's someone from our South Campus."

The two men in blue robes looked surprised when they saw the nameplate.

One of them quickly took a look and was even more surprised, a warm smile spreading across his face: "So it's Junior Sister Ye from Team One! We've long heard of Junior Sister Ye's great name, but we've never met her before. Seeing her today, it's clear she lives up to her reputation."

Another man whispered, "Could it be one of the three... cough cough... it must be."

The two men took another look at the girl in front of them, and she was indeed as tall, beautiful, and extraordinary as the legends had said.

Upon hearing that the people from the Demon Suppression Academy were there, the officials were also quite surprised and quickly became very polite.

After exchanging pleasantries, Nightingale asked again, "Senior brothers, what exactly happened?"

The tall young man sighed and whispered, "Something terrible has happened. Last night, one of our disciples from the South Courtyard was killed. The disciple's name was Yuan Fang, and he was from the Yuan family."

Upon hearing this, Nightingale was immediately startled.

The tall young man then whispered, "You've probably heard of him. His father, Yuan Tong, is a steward in the second team. He has people in the Earth Rank and even the Heaven Rank departments within the academy. So this matter has shaken the entire academy, and the government has dispatched all its personnel; they're currently searching the entire city..."

Nightingale froze, her expression shifting before turning grave: "Have you found any clues about the murderer?"

Both shook their heads.

The constable beside him said with a fawning expression, "If we had found any clues about the murderer, we wouldn't be searching like this, looking for a needle in a haystack, searching every house in the whole city. I heard that the murderer is elusive, extremely powerful, and incredibly audacious. He killed people in the Yuan family's mansion, and by the time the Yuan family's guards arrived, the people had already vanished without a trace. You must know, that young master Yuan was at the seventh level of the Open Heaven Realm, and he had two guards with him at the time, yet all three were killed in the blink of an eye. You can imagine how terrifying that murderer's strength is..."

Nightingale frowned and said, "In that case, the murderer must have at least the cultivation level of the ninth star of the Open Heaven Realm, otherwise he would never have been able to kill so quickly and escape unscathed."

They all nodded in agreement.

At this moment, another constable said somewhat embarrassedly, "Lord Nightingale, according to regulations, although you are from the Demon Suppression Academy, we still have to conduct a personal inspection. We are truly sorry."

Nightingale nodded and said, "Of course."

At that moment, Grandma came out of the kitchen.

Aya also came out of the house and stood in the corridor with a blank expression.

Nightingale introduced them: "This is my grandmother. She's very old and has difficulty walking. That's my younger sister. She can't speak and rarely goes out."

Then he turned to his head and said, "Aya, go inside and get the household registration and residence documents."

Before Aya could enter the house, another person came out, holding several books, and asked, "Sister Nightingale, are these the things?"

The eyes of the people at the door all turned to him.

Luo Qingfeng stood somewhat timidly at the entrance of the main room, his clothes disheveled and hair loose, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand.

The constable immediately asked, "And who is this...?"

Nightingale said calmly, "My husband."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

The two men from the Demon Suppression Academy, in particular, showed a look of doubt and suspicion on their faces.

I've never heard that this young woman got married.

At this moment, Luo Qingfeng walked down the corridor and came to the group. He handed the document to a constable and said, "We are not married yet, but Teacher Cao and Deacon Yuan of the South Courtyard know about my relationship with Sister Nightingale."

After saying that, he took out a nameplate from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "I am Luo Qingfeng, a disciple of the first team of the Human Rank Department of the North Courtyard of the Demon Suppression Academy."

"North Campus?"

The two disciples from the Southern Academy were taken aback. The taller man quickly took the nameplate and examined it, then exchanged bewildered glances with the other man.

"It is indeed the nameplate of the North Academy. I never expected that Junior Sister Ye would actually..."

Both of them were somewhat disappointed. They gave a dry laugh and nodded as a greeting.

The tall man returned the nameplate and smiled, "Then congratulations to Junior Sister Ye and Junior Brother Luo."

Luo Qingfeng accepted the nameplate, cupped his hands and said, "When we get married, we will invite you two senior brothers to come and have a drink at our wedding. I hope you two senior brothers will not refuse."

The two chuckled dryly and quickly replied, "Definitely, definitely."

Nightingale said, "There are only these people left in the house. Officers, you may go in and search again."

Seeing that the two men were from the Demon Suppression Academy, the constables had no right to go in and search them. They quickly smiled and said, "No need, no need. We're just doing our duty and taking a look around. Since you're both from the Demon Suppression Academy, there's nothing to check. Sorry for disturbing you."

After saying that, he cupped his hands in farewell and took his leave.

The two men from the South Courtyard also smiled and bowed to take their leave.

The group turned and left.

After walking a short distance, one of them whispered, "Sigh, I didn't expect Junior Sister Ye to already have a husband, and they're already living together. If the people in the courtyard knew, they'd probably be kicking themselves..."

The sound of wind and snow quickly drowned out their voices.

Nightingale stood at the door for a while longer, then reached out and closed the gate. She turned around and looked at someone.

Luo Qingfeng walked towards the kitchen and said, "It smells so good, did Sister Nightingale make pancakes again?"

Nightingale immediately followed him, pulled him into the kitchen, and closed the door.

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Sister Nightingale, what are you doing? It's broad daylight, and Grandma and Aya are watching outside."

"Cough cough... Aya, let's go inside and go to sleep. This weather is unbearable unless we're under the covers..."

Grandma immediately pulled Aya away, went inside, and closed the door behind her.

In the kitchen, Nightingale looked at the boy before her with a complicated expression. After a long while, she finally spoke in a low voice, "Was it you?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head: "Of course it wasn't me. I was exhausted after serving Sister Nightingale last night and fell asleep immediately. I just woke up, how could it be me?"

Nightingale stared at him for a while with a complicated expression, then whispered, "You finished before midnight last night, and I felt something was off..."

Luo Qingfeng immediately said, "Sister Nightingale, are you saying I'm too fast?"

Nightingale blushed, glared at him, and said, "Don't change the subject. Was it you? I was bullied by them yesterday, and Yuan Fang was killed today. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

Then her gaze softened again: "Besides you, who else would help me like this?"

Luo Qingfeng neither denied nor admitted it, and said softly, "Sister Nightingale, you are so beautiful and kind, there must be many people secretly helping you."

Nightingale looked at him with watery eyes, bit her lip, and blushed as she said, "But, I only let you bully me..."

Luo Qingfeng hugged her slender waist, lowered his head and kissed her again, saying, "Don't overthink it, this has nothing to do with us, and you don't need to worry."

The nightingale looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Of course I'm worried. If something happens to you, what... what will I do?"

Luo Qingfeng held her in his arms, gently stroking her hair, and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll always be with you."

The nightingale pressed against his chest, tears streaming down her face, and hugged him tightly.

at the same time.

At the Yuan family mansion, Yuan Tongzheng, his eyes red, was roaring furiously.

"Useless! Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

All the guards in the mansion were kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed. Two of them were already dead, their blood flowing all over the ground.

Yuan Tong roared for a long time before staggering backward, leaning against a pillar behind him, panting heavily, his face contorted as he glared at the person at the door: "Have you found Yang Jing?"

The man at the door kept his head bowed tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Not...not yet."

"waste!"

Yuan Tong roared and slammed his fist into the pillar next to him.

Suddenly, the thick pillar cracked and shattered into pieces, scattering across the ground.

"Who is that beast! I will personally tear him to pieces and grind his bones to ashes!"
