Maran Ma clapped his hands.
Not far away, Tanya Zhan, now dressed in a pristine white wedding gown, was escorted in by a crowd of attendants.
Her features were exquisite, and beneath the makeup, she looked even colder and more striking.
Tanya Zhan walked gracefully, and unlike the aloof impression Yuna Pu gave, everyone here knew Tanya much better than Yuna.
So as everyone watched Tanya Zhan at this moment, what they felt was pure beauty.
Especially now, without Yuna Pu's half-veiled mystique, Tanya's face was fully exposed, and the visual impact was even stronger.
The Zahn patriarch was wheeled out in a wheelchair by attendants.
Zane Zhan's face was still swollen from injuries that hadn't fully healed.
Both followed beside Tanya Zhan, their faces dark and grim, but they had no choice but to move forward.
"Beautiful."
Maran Ma's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly: "From today on, Tanya Zhan of the Zahn Family will be my wife."
This is the first excitement of the day!
Maran Ma was unrestrained, his voice booming across the hall.
As soon as his words fell, thunderous applause erupted.
Everyone applauded and cheered, creating a lively scene.
The men mostly envied Maran Ma for marrying such a beautiful wife.
The women mostly envied Tanya Zhan for marrying into the powerful ancient-martial Ma Family.
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Tanya Zhan kept a cold face and moved forward.
Her gaze swept lightly past Maran Ma's face, finally landing on Yuna Pu, who stood beside Patriarch Yun, half-veiled.
The two women's gazes met in midair, then fell silent.
Previously, Tanya Zhan had inquired about Yuna Pu and knew she had a brief history with Evan Lin.
Before coming, Yuna Pu had heard that Tanya Zhan was close to Master Lin from Seacrest.
Both women had more or less the same feelings toward Master Lin from Seacrest.
They both liked him, but neither dared to express it.
Both hoped he wouldn't come and risk himself.
After today, both women would belong to Maran Ma of the ancient-martial Ma Family.
One as wife, the other as concubine.
Congratulations, Young Master Ma, for marrying such a beauty.
Patriarch Yun smiled and offered congratulations.
Then I must thank you, Patriarch Yun, for sending one more.
Maran Ma made a joke, and the two exchanged a smile, their tacit understanding clear without words.
Let's begin. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish.
Tanya Zhan walked up to Maran Ma, looked at him, and spoke.
Behind her, the Zahn patriarch closed his eyes, and Zane Zhan's face was full of humiliation.
Don't rush. Before we exchange rings and get married, there's one more thing I need to finish.
Maran Ma reached out and grabbed Tanya Zhan's wrist as she was about to walk into the hall.
He squinted, then swept his gaze around, scanning the countless guests below.
Looking at the eager faces in the crowd, Maran Ma suddenly grew serious and said in a deep voice: "As I just said, my ancient-martial Ma Family will not concern itself with Rivercrest affairs from now on. All matters in Rivercrest, big or small, will be handed over to the Zahn and Yun families."
As everyone knows, Rivercrest has always had five major families, each with tremendous power.
