《The Cruel Tyrant》100

Su Mu replied: "I am just a nameless nobody not worth mentioning."
The big man raised his hand and was about to continue speaking when he caught a glimpse of everyone gathering in the hall. Among them, a young man who was somewhat similar in appearance to Ye Qingfeng was exchanging greetings with the guests.
This should be Ye Qingfeng's elder brother. Su Mu sat in the corner silently and did not plan to go forward for a chat.
However, Ye Qingchen was unable not to notice Su Mu's figure at a glance. Su Mu's appearance was too outstanding. Today's guests were mostly people from jianghu. It was not to say that there were none with eye-catching appearances, but few were like Su Mu with such a captivating appearance and such a powerful aura. Moreover those people were all familiar faces. Su Mu was like a big light lit in the dark so it was difficult for Ye Qingchen not to pay attention. He finished chatting with a group of guests, then went straight to Su Mu's table, and said in a genteel and polite manner: "I am Ye Qingchen, may I ask for this brother's surname?"
Su Mu returned the courtesy and said: "I am Su Mu, I have long admired the name of Eldest Ye Gongzi, and it is my fortune to finally see you today."
Last name Su? Ye Qingchen's heart suddenly skipped a beat in alarm, could it be that the one in the imperial city came in person? Ye Qingchen felt a thin layer of sweat covering his back, and the smile on his face became stiff. Was it too late to evacuate the guests? If most of the affluent people of jianghu died here today, wouldn't their Xuefeng Villa and Jinglin be finished?
"You....."
"Brother Ye, what's wrong?" Su Mu interrupted Ye Qingchen, who had finally spoopened his mouth with difficulty, with a puzzled look, and continued to ask: "Are you feeling ill?"
"No, no, I'm fine." Ye Qingchen let out a breath in a hurry, secretly thinking that he was just scaring himself, how could the Crown Prince come here himself. Even if he came, according to the Crown Prince's style of behavior he would just directly kill the people and snatch Ye Qingfeng away. How could it be possible that he would just sit here and introduce himself with a fake name?

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and the couple of the day slowly walked in from the door. When they walked in some more Su Mu finally saw through the crowd that Ye Qingfeng was being supported by someone as he walked. Ye Qingchen said to Su Mu with a joyful expression: "The new couple has arrived, please come to the inner hall with me to observe the ceremony, brother Su."
Su Mu quirked the corners of his mouth and said, "Fine." After speaking, he stood up and looked at Ye Qingfeng, who was surrounded by the crowd and dressed as a bridegroom, with a sword-like gaze.
Ye Qingfeng, who was being supported as forward, felt cold sweat sprout on his back and couldn't help but feel startled. Looking sideways, he saw Su Mu standing with his elder brother. That face that haunted his days and nights currently had a smile on that caused his hair to stand on end. But at this time, not only did his sealed pressure points immobilize movement it also muted his voice. He couldn't speak at all and he could only blink his eyes at Su Mu, but Su Mu seemed like he did not see it at all and along with the crowd he entered the hall with Ye Qingchen to observe the ceremony.
Ye Qingfeng was so anxious that the back of his wedding robes became soaked with sweat, and he didn't know what this little unscrupulous and heartless guy was up to, not even making a movement at all even now. Did he really want to watch him get married with someone else?
At this time, he was already standing in the middle of the hall, waiting to be called to complete the wedding rites. Ye Qingfeng remained stiff and uncompromising, causing Ye Haolin to glare at Ye Qingfeng. If not for the fact that the newlyweds would be entering the bridal room afterwards perhaps he would have instantly jumped up and given him a good beating. But at this moment, he suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure, and Ye Haolin stood up violently in shock.
Madam Ye and the bride's father, Qin Wanli, also stood up abruptly. Qin Wanli vigilantly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, brother Ye?"
"He's here." Ye Haolin stared at Su Mu, the latter flashing him a bright smile.

Qin Wanli's heart skipped a beat and he said with disbelief, "What? He's here!"
Ye Haolin nodded and signaled Qin Wanli not to do anything. Even if everyone here went up against the Crown Prince the outcome would still not be in their favor. In any case, the other hadn't made a move yet, so it was best to complete the wedding rituals first.
The wedding presider on the side received a sign and hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "Bow first to heaven and earth....."
Ye Qingfeng stiffened his neck and stubbornly refused to bow his head. Ye Haolin clenched his fists anxiously and kept gesturing with his eyes at the person behind Ye Qingfeng, signaling him to press Ye Qingfeng down quickly.
Su Mu smiled slightly and flicked his fingers at the pressure point of the person behind Ye Qingfeng, immediately making him unable to move. Ye Haolin was also a martial arts expert and immediately noticed it. He glared at Su Mu then gestured at Ye Qingchen with his eyes and said: "You go."
Ye Qingchen looked at his angry father, and then at the equally angry Ye Qingfeng, and was finally defeated under his father's gaze. Pretending to not see Ye Qingfeng's angry glare he pressed against his neck, whispering in Ye Qingfeng's ear: "Even at this stage, that person still hasn't made any movements. Give up, you should have understood already that he does not lack men. So why do you wrong yourself like this? Just properly finish the wedding rituals."
You know a fart, let me go! Ye Qingfeng motioned with his eyes.
There was a stalemate for a long time, and the eyes of everyone present also gradually changed. Thinking of the rumors spreading outside, many people's eyes began to take on a gossipy light, and the bride with a veil next to Ye Qingfeng also squeezed the red handkerchief in her hand anxiously.
"What are you waiting for, hurry up!" Ye Haolin whisper-shouted to Ye Qingchen, and then to the presider: "Start again."

The presider had no choice but to raise his voice and shout again: "Bow first to....."
However, the presider had yet to even finish speaking when his voice was overwhelmed by a burst of wild and arrogant laughter.
"Hahahahahaha.....Xu has arrived late to Second Eldest Ye Gongzi's wedding, Xu must ask Villa Master Ye and Hero Qin to not be offended....."
This voice was very penetrating and came from far away and clearly heard by everyone's ears. Ye Haolin and Qin Wanli stood up at the same time, and Su Mu also turned to the source of the voice along with everyone present.
On the courtyard wall outside the door suddenly appeared a middle-aged man with white hair but the delicate skin of a baby. His eyes swept the crowd like steel needles, and suddenly his attention was caught by Su Mu. His fingers curled his sideburns and looked at Su Mu with obscene eyes: "I didn't expect that there would be such a delicious little guy in this remote place, when finished with matters Ben Zuo must have a good taste." (TN: Ben Zuo, self-reference used by jianghu masters, similar to the Ben Gong used by imperial members)
Ye Haolin walked out of the crowd and looked at the middle-aged man standing on the wall. His expression was unkind and he said: "Clan Master Xu, it is my son's big wedding today and it is not suitable to take up arms. If Clan Master Xu has any suggestions, please come back another day."
In the blink of an eye the middle-aged man appeared in the courtyard, and at the same time a group of people in black cloaks also swarmed in through the door. Xu Wenxiu shook the dust that did not exist from his clothes, and sat down leisurely on a stool placed by his subordinate. He sneered: "I think today can't be better, it's just right for a fight."
In the middle of the hall, Ye Qingfeng still had his pressure points sealed and could only stand there like a stump of wood. Ye Qingchen saw Su Mu approaching and said kindly: "Brother Su....."
But before he even finished speaking, he saw Su Mu quickly unlock Ye Qingfeng's pressure points. He couldn't even stop him even if he wanted to. Ye Qingfeng, who was finally released, grabbed Su Mu's wrist and the two disappeared in front of Ye Qingchen in the blink of an eye.
At the back of the wedding hall, Ye Qingfeng kept one ear out to the movement outside while pressing Su Mu under his body and sucked fiercely on the other's lips. Su Mu punched him and said angrily: "Get off!"

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
