The man in the black robe was completely covered up, with only his eyes showing. His appearance was entirely obscured.

Master Sima, on the other hand, was much more enthusiastic. He personally stepped forward and took the other man's arm. Their expressions seemed very intimate.

Unfortunately, the man in black robes didn't appreciate it and simply shook off his hand.

All the guests present were incredibly curious about the man in black robes, but unfortunately, Master Sima had absolutely no intention of introducing him.

"Let's go to the flower hall."

Dinner was very lavish, but unfortunately, the man in black didn't appear at all. It was as if he had been forgotten.

Yan Qing couldn't forget him; on the contrary, she was now incredibly curious about this man in black.

Rule Six of the "One Bow to Heaven and Earth Rules":

An unexpected guest at your wedding can be of great importance to you.

If I'm not mistaken, the identity of this man in black must be related to the secret hidden here.

So she secretly gave her older brother a wink.

Yan Che patted the table, pretending to be full and satisfied.

"Master Sima, we've all eaten and drunk our fill. I wonder why that guest from earlier wouldn't join us for the meal?"

Master Sima smiled politely, “He is timid and prefers to be alone. I have already had the steward bring him his meal. You can all rest assured.”

He stood up, bowed to everyone, and said with a smile, "In that case, everyone should go back to their rooms and rest early. See you tomorrow."

He then clapped his hands toward the door, and immediately a group of maids dressed in green vests entered and stood in order beside the guests.

Yan Qing's expression brightened. Standing next to her was Lingxi, who had disappeared earlier.

Lingxi winked at her, and Yan Qing immediately felt relieved.

Master Sima's voice rang out again, "Please follow the maids back to your rooms to rest. If you need anything, just tell them."

Lingxi waved to her in perfect unison, "Miss Su, please come with me."

Stepping outside, it was pitch black; there wasn't even a streetlamp. Lingxi, carrying a lantern, led the way.

"Miss Su, watch your step. The road here is a bit difficult to walk on. Please be careful not to fall."

Yan Qing was a little puzzled. Why was there suddenly a large artificial lake right behind the front hall?

This doesn't conform to feng shui principles at all! Strange, strange.

After circling the lake, they finally arrived at a spacious courtyard.

There are exactly five guest rooms in the courtyard. One is in the center, and there are two guest rooms on each side.

The guest rooms all look exactly the same, except for the slightly different room numbers, which are "Heaven, Earth, Qian, Kun, Center" in that order.

Lingxi pointed to the second room on the left, numbered "Di," and said, "Miss Su, this is your guest room."

The others also stopped in turn. The old monk went into the middle room, designated by the character "中" (zhong). Yan Che took the room designated by the character "天" (tian), the salt merchant Liang Gongzi took the room designated by the character "干" (gan), and the remaining doctor Zhang and his wife took the last room designated by the character "坤" (kun).

After entering the room, Lingxi immediately closed the door. Only then did she cautiously turn her head.

“Master, you must remember that no matter what happens tomorrow, do not be the first to speak out.”

Yan Qing nodded. It seemed that something was bound to happen tomorrow.

Lingxi wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out. She could only awkwardly point to her mouth.

Due to the rules, even NPCs in dungeons cannot say certain things freely.

She told her master that many adventurers had died in this dungeon. No one had ever cleared it yet.

Also, the rules of this dungeon are a bit wicked. The rules for clearing the dungeon are stated at the beginning, but the hidden secret required to clear it isn't specified.

Many adventurers have lost their lives because of this. She cannot reveal the secrets required by the rules until the master herself discovers them.

Most importantly, none of the secrets discovered by other adventurers that she knew were required by the rules for clearing the game.

She wanted to remind her master to be careful. But after her master followed her in this time, she realized that she seemed to be targeted by the dungeon rules.

What should she do? Lingxi was extremely worried. She didn't want anything to happen to her master.

Yan Qing didn't know what Lingxi was thinking, but seeing her desperately trying to speak but unable to utter a word, she knew the other was trying to remind her. However, the dungeon rules didn't allow her to do so.

It seems that taking Lingxi away from here will not be an easy task!

Surprisingly, the night was very quiet, even excessively quiet.

When she woke up in the morning, the courtyard was covered with red "double happiness" characters. What made her even more uneasy was that there were even some at the door of her guest room, but she didn't hear a sound.

After meeting up with her brother, the two of them followed the main group to the front hall, where the wedding ceremony would take place today.

Yan Qing and her companion were probably the last to arrive. When they arrived, everyone was busy congratulating Master Sima.

Today, Master Sima was dressed exceptionally smartly. His bright red robe made him look radiant, and he seemed to have been completely transformed.

It's true that people are in high spirits when they have good news!

"Congratulations, Master Sima!" Yan Qing also stepped forward to congratulate him.

"well!"

Master Sima seemed rather impatient; as soon as all the guests had arrived, he immediately instructed his servants,

"No need to wait any longer, please invite Madam up, let's begin."
