“.……”


  The best man patted his chest and said, “What’s the big deal about push-ups? Master Gu, don’t worry at all and just take your pick. We can complete a hundred push-ups in a jiffy.”


  As soon as he had spoken, the person behind the door said unhurriedly, “I don’t mean 100 push-ups shared among everyone. I mean every one of you has to do 100 push-ups.”


  “.……”


  Everyone fell silent.

  “Isn’t that just a tad harsh!”


  “Exactly! How can we pick the correct one at the first go, given there are 10?”


  The bridesmaid in the room replied disapprovingly, “I just heard someone comment that push-ups are nothing.”


  Everyone fell silent again.

  “So be it then.”


  It’s not like they couldn’t do it. Gu Jinglian picked a ribbon and tugged at it. He could hear sniggers coming from behind the door.

  “Wrong, wrong! One hundred push-ups.”


  “A hundred push-ups is too much of a waste of time. Fifty, fifty is more efficient.”


  “Well then, you may replace the remaining push-ups with fifty red packets.

  Since the bridesmaid had spoken, the best man naturally stuffed the red packet hurriedly under the door. They had an abundance of red packets. Anything that could be solved with red packets was a small matter.

  After stuffing the red packets, the groomsmen completed the 50 push-ups.

  To Gu Jinglian, 50 push-ups were nothing. In just a few minutes, he finished all the push-ups.

  “Continue!”


  Only nine ribbons remained.

  In the name of the game, this was a test of telepathy. However, in reality, it was purely based on luck. If it was purely based on luck, it was hard to determine, given that probability was the hardest problem to figure out.

  Gu Jinglian narrowed his eyes and looked at each of the ribbons. He carefully compared them and suddenly realized that there was something fishy about one of them.

  There were obvious signs of the material being used to make knots.

  Gu Jinglian grabbed the ribbon in an instant and violently pulled it back. As expected, the ribbon was connected to the bride’s wrist and tightened immediately.

  “Ah……”


  Having witnessed this, the groomsmen were surprised that Gu Jinglian had solved the puzzle so quickly. At the same time, they asked sharply, “Is it this one?”


  “Yes.” The bridesmaid’s answer seemed reluctant. ‘I guess that’s the right one.’

  “Surely you can open the door now?”


  The best man said in an annoyed tone, “You said that as long as we drew the right ribbon, we’d be able to enter to receive the bride! Open the door then!”


  The bridesmaid at the door did not seem so bold as to make things difficult for Gu Jinglian, the demon king. Although reluctant, she had no choice but to open the door.

  The moment the door opened a crack, the groomsmen surged forward and pushed the door open. Gu Jinglian walked into the room casually. In his western suit, the man’s presence was extraordinary.

  In traditional weddings ceremonies, the groom would usually go out in person, but in the process of receiving the bride, he would be taunted badly by the bridesmaids.

  However, this was Gu Jinglian’s strength. With him around, no one dared to make things difficult.

  In just half an hour, he had easily gained access to the boudoir. It had to be said that Gu Jinglian was rather intimidating.

  No one dared to offend the demon king of the Gu family. Even the members of the Gu family backed off because of Gu Jinglian’s aura.

  Upon entering the room, he saw the bride in the dragon and phoenix gown sitting upright on the bed with a red veil draped over her head. She sat in silence, as if waiting for his arrival!
