Chapter 163 Lu Ziting Reports Su Ying'er

The marriage of the Lotus Sect's chief disciple was no small matter, and the joyous news of their impending union spread quickly.

The news naturally reached Ye Li's ears as well. Upon hearing it, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Married?"

The scene where Lu Ziting almost killed Su Ying'er was still vivid in my mind, and now, only two days later, he is going to marry Su Ying'er.

While gossiping with Ye Li about sunflower seeds, Sangsang spat out the shells and said, "That's right, but I heard..."

She lowered her voice, "It seems that Senior Brother Lu was forced by True Person Qingyu."

Ye Li understood; that made sense.

A teacher for a day is a father for life. No matter how unwilling Lu Ziting was, he dared not disobey Master Qingyu's orders.

Sangsang, unaware that Ye Li had already guessed most of it, said mysteriously, "I heard it from my fellow disciples who went to deliver the congratulatory gift to Su Ying'er. When they went to deliver the gift, they asked why it was in such a hurry. Su Ying'er said that they had experienced life and death in the Golden Sand Illusion Realm and were deeply moved. They didn't know whether tomorrow or an accident would come first. Lu Ziting couldn't wait to marry her, so it was a bit rushed."

Ye Li chuckled to herself.

Su Ying'er is truly eloquent; even though it was Qingyu Zhenren's order, she managed to make it sound so convincing.

"If that's the case, how do you know Lu Ziting was forced into it?"

Sangsang clapped her hands. "The coincidence is that Lu Ziting came back right after Su Ying'er finished speaking. The disciples who went there said that he didn't treat Su Ying'er with the same doting affection as before; on the contrary, he treated her very badly. Su Ying'er probably couldn't stand it, so she tried to act more intimate, but as soon as she put her arm around Lu Ziting, he shook her off and scolded her for being shameless. Tsk tsk, how embarrassing that scene was."

Thinking of that scene, Sangsang clicked her tongue, "So, when those disciples came back, they all said that Lu Ziting didn't seem to really want to marry Su Ying'er; he was forced into it."

-

Meanwhile, at the Lotus Gate.

The wedding dress made Su Ying'er's face look like a peach blossom, but Lu Ziting, who was standing to the side, not only didn't even glance at her, but also refused to try on the wedding dress.

Tomorrow is the wedding day, and Lu Ziting's attitude makes Su Ying'er extremely uneasy.

Marrying Lu Ziting is her only way to stay in the Lotus Sect right now. They have a strong bond when they meet, and as long as she stays, she can use her methods to keep everyone in the Lotus Sect revolving around her, just like before.

With the kindness of Mo Hannian and the "past life connection" of Qingyu Zhenren, she has no worries about not being able to stand firm.

But all of this is contingent on their wedding proceeding as planned.

Thinking of this, Su Ying'er put on that pitiful look again and tugged at Lu Ziting's sleeve, "Senior Brother, it's getting late. Try on this wedding dress and see if it fits. If it doesn't, Ying'er can help you alter it."

The moment she touched Lu Ziting, he violently flung her hand away, his tone filled with disgust, "What does it matter if it suits you or not? You still have to wear it! With your master backing you up, I have no choice but to marry you!"

Su Ying'er's hand was slapped by his sleeve, leaving a small red mark. She raised her tearful eyes and said, "Ying'er didn't expect this to happen. Ying'er originally wanted to go down the mountain as soon as she recovered so as not to cause trouble for her senior brother and master. I didn't expect that master would suddenly tell you to marry me. I didn't know that either."

What she said was true, but Lu Ziting no longer believed her at this moment.

He had seen through Su Ying'er's character when she refused to help him in his time of need, but at that time he still remembered their relationship and gave her some face.

Until the truth came out that day, it turned out that Ye Li's betrayal of him was entirely Su Ying'er's scheme. Su Ying'er had fooled him like a fool and indirectly caused A Li's death; how could he not hate her!

If he could never see Su Ying'er again, that would be one thing, but right now he's being forced by Master Qingyu to marry this poisonous woman who has no cultivation and can't give him any benefit.

It's easy to imagine how angry he must be, that a dignified gentleman had to be controlled by others.

If it weren't for Qingyu Zhenren, he would have loved to kill her with a single sword to vent his anger.

Su Ying'er was frightened by the murderous intent in Lu Ziting's eyes and dared not try to persuade him anymore.

Lu Ziting slammed the door and left.

Su Ying'er smashed her teacup in anger, gritting her teeth, "Ye Li! You're dead, yet you still want to mess with me!"

If she hadn't left behind that awful piece of clothing, how could she have been so despised by everyone!

Moreover, Lu Ziting reprimanded her in front of so many people today, and soon everyone will know that Lu Ziting married her out of desperation. How will she ever face anyone again!

No matter how angry she was, the wedding had to go on.

Putting everything else aside, Master Qingyu is the last disciple of Sect Master Ouyang, and Lu Ziting is Master Qingyu's first disciple. They have a bright future and may even be able to inherit the position of sect master.

Once she becomes the sect leader's wife, who will still think about this trivial matter?

Thinking of this, Su Ying'er's face became even more smug. She dusted off her wedding dress and looked contemptuous.

A dead person is a dead person. Right now, they're haunted by their guilt and can't forget Ye Li.

But as time went by, they forgot about it.

At that time, Lotus Gate will still be her domain!

-

The next day.

Su Ying'er got up early to wash and dress up, surrounded by several female disciples she knew, who kept praising her.

"Junior Sister Ying'er looks absolutely stunning today. Senior Brother Lu will be completely captivated by you."

"I'm afraid that Senior Brother Lu will lose all interest in cultivation and will only want to protect Junior Sister Ying'er."

Hearing these flattering words, Su Ying'er covered her face and smiled shyly, "Alright, it's getting late, let's hurry to Tianmen Star Platform, don't keep Senior Brother waiting."

One of the disciples joked, "Oh dear, why call him Senior Brother? You should call him Husband!"

"That's right, that's right. From now on, Ying'er will be the First Disciple's wife, and we'll all have to rely on Junior Sister Ying'er in the future."

Su Ying'er, who was initially a little uneasy, felt only smugness upon hearing these flattering words, and stepped out of the room surrounded by the crowd.

Outside, Mo Hannian, the elder brother who had come to see the bride off, had been waiting for a long time.

Su Ying'er called out sweetly, "Brother."

When Mo Hannian saw Su Ying'er, his eyes flashed with amazement. Looking at her bright smile, she was just as innocent and carefree as before. He took the veil from the disciple beside him and said in a gentle voice, "The fellow disciples who came to celebrate have already arrived at the Star Platform. Put on the veil and go over."

...

The Heavenly Gate Star Platform is the altar where sects hold various ceremonies for forming alliances. When a disciple becomes an apprentice, a beast pet forms an alliance, or a Daoist couple is formed, they all come here to offer sacrifices and inquire about the heavens.

At this moment, the altar was filled with people who came to watch the ceremony. At the highest position, Master Qingyu sat in the main seat, with several invited sect leaders below him. Even Elder Song from the outer sect had been brought along, which showed how much Master Qingyu valued Su Ying'er.

In the crowd, Ye Li, who had been pulled along by Sang Sang, coldly watched as Su Ying'er, surrounded by admirers, ascended the high platform, enjoying immense prestige.

She really underestimated Su Ying'er. The predicament she faced that day couldn't do anything to her; on the contrary, it allowed her to get what she wanted.

It seems we'll have to put in more effort to expose her true colors.

Sangsang looked around with a puzzled expression, "Hey, why hasn't Senior Brother Lu arrived yet?"

Ye Li also looked around. That's right, Lu Ziting, as the groom, should have arrived earlier than Su Ying'er. Why hasn't he shown up yet?

Just then, gasps of surprise rang out from the crowd.

"Senior Brother Lu, what?!"

Everyone who met Lu Ziting's gaze was taken aback. When he came into view, Ye Li's pupils dilated in astonishment.

Lu Ziting?
