The founding ceremony of the Dongyu Sect was over, and everyone who attended the event was talking about it with great relish. Not only the wonderful magic of the three Nascent Souls at the beginning, but also the appearance of the White Jade Mountain Gate at the end were all topics that people never tired of talking about.
The guests who had come returned one after another, and some people received a signal and did not return immediately after the founding ceremony of Dongyu Sect, but stayed behind.
The next day, these people came to Dongyu Sect again and were invited to the main hall.
"Why are you asking us to stay here in such a mysterious way? Is there something wrong?" Hongsheng Sanren asked.
"Yes, it makes us very curious. Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us what you want to say. We will definitely help you if we can." Hanshan City Lord Han Yuanchun said.
Those present were all people Chen Xiao had established a good relationship with through Feng Shui over the years. They were both clients and connections.
Chen Xiao sat in the main seat, smiled and looked at Xi Yunting.
Xi Yunting said to everyone in a deep voice: "My brother Xiao and I have already made an agreement to become a couple. On the day of the Taoist Couple Marriage Ceremony, I would like to invite you all to the Chongxuan Sect to watch the ceremony."
Everyone present was stunned.
Han Yuanchun clapped his hands and laughed in surprise, "I didn't expect you two would have such a fate! Forgive my slowness, I didn't see it at the beginning anyway! However, I still want to congratulate you two, and I will definitely be there when the time comes!"
Hongsheng Sanren covered his chest, pretending to be in pain, and said, "You thief, you must be holding a grudge against me for the loss I suffered when I was looking for a dragon in the desert. You must clean my storage bag before you will be satisfied!" First, he invited them to participate in the ceremony of establishing the sect and collected a round of gifts. Then, he held a wedding and robbed them again!
Chen Xiao laughed out loud at his funny look: "It's good that you are willing to come to the ceremony. It doesn't matter whether you send a gift or not. But don't force yourself just for the sake of appearance. Even if you give me a piece of paper, I will be very happy."
Hongsheng Sanren put down his hand awkwardly: "How could that be possible! Your wedding with Fellow Daoist Xi is such a rare happy event, of course I won't miss it!"
He was not crazy to give up attending the wedding of the head and former head disciple of the Chongxuan Sect, one of the three major sects of Luochen, because he could not afford the gift. If it were not for Chen Xiao, how could he have been associated with such a behemoth.
After confirming that everyone present would attend, Xi Yunting asked them to pay attention and that he would send the invitations once the wedding date was confirmed.
The independent cultivators and leaders of small forces all assured that they would not travel far in the near future and would stay in Yingxian Island and wait for good news.
The life of a cultivator is too long, even if they wait for three to five years, it is worth it.
The tense and busy state within the Dongyu sect was resolved with the end of the ceremony. After a few days of cleaning up, things finally returned to normal.
However, Chen Xiao was busy like a top. Once the date for departure for Luochen Tianjing was confirmed, he became nervous and went everywhere to look for good things to give as gifts to Xi Yunting's master and senior brothers.
He was out of sight all day long. First, he went to Jianzhai and Zhencaotang to look for things but failed to find anything. Then he ran to the Island Master's Mansion and tried to exchange some things from the warehouse run by Shi Fengdu.
After finally catching him, Xi Yunting was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as he comforted his lover who was anxious because he couldn't find a gift that suited his taste.
"Brother Xiao, don't be nervous. My master and fellow practitioners are all very easy to get along with. You are my Taoist partner, and they will only treat you well and won't make things difficult for you."
Chen Xiao thought, that's not necessarily true, after all, he is a stranger. It is simply unrealistic to want to integrate into a closed small circle without any setbacks or twists and turns.
He pressed his head against Xi Yunting's chest in frustration: "They treat me well out of kindness. But I can't take it for granted just because I have the respect I want from Master and my senior brothers. Otherwise, all the goodwill will be worn away. Feelings are developed through time, and giving gifts is the best way to increase goodwill. I've only been spending money and not earning anything during this period, and the things I like are so expensive!"
Xi Yunting touched his neatly combed hair and said softly, "What did you fancy? I'll buy it, and you can give it to Master and other brothers as a gift."
Chen Xiao snorted, raised his neck, and hit Xi Yunting's chin with his head, "How can that count? It's not my intention."
Xi Yunting's chin was hurt by Chen Xiao's hard head. He thought for a while and said, "There are still too few places to choose from in Yingxian Island. When we go to Feiyan City, there are many famous weapon refining workshops and alchemy rooms. We will definitely be able to choose a suitable one."
Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, he let go of Xi Yunting's chin, raised his head, and straightened his body, "Is Feiyan City's commercial district very big?"
Xi Yunting smiled and said, "Of course."
Chen Xiao occasionally behaved in a childish way, unconsciously acting like a spoiled brat. This made Xi Yunting feel like he had drunk some spirit wine, and his pores all opened up. He wanted to obey him and care for him even more, and he wanted to do everything he could to make him happy.
After receiving Xi Yunting's affirmation, Chen Xiao relaxed and leaned over softly, not caring that this was the storeroom of the island owner's mansion. Like a cat that wanted to vomit after eating, he asked lazily, "What kind of person is Master Taisu? Does he have a good temper?"
Xi Yunting hugged him, "Master is a quiet person, and he is not harsh to others."
Chen Xiao's master Fang Gu was a person who liked quietness. Unconsciously, parts of these two old men overlapped in Chen Xiao's mind, causing him to feel a sense of admiration for them.
"Brother, how many senior brothers do you have?" He turned and asked about the others.
"Two senior brothers. One is Liu Shaoguang, who is at the initial stage of the Spiritual Division." Thinking of this senior brother who was seriously mentally ill, Xi Yunting had an indescribable expression. With Xi Yunting's personality, no matter how powerless he felt, he would not say anything bad about Liu Shaoguang. In the end, he could only say softly, "When you meet the senior brother, you will know what kind of person he is."
Chen Xiao turned his head and looked at him puzzledly, then nodded in confusion, "What about Second Senior Brother?"
Xi Yunting smiled, "My second senior brother is called Tao Yi. He is not good at speaking and often stays in seclusion or travels. He has helped me a lot during my cultivation."
Escape? Chen Xiao smiled inwardly. This name was so unique that he remembered it immediately.
"Besides Big Brother's master and fellow disciples, are there any other important people in the Chongxuan Sect?"
"Master Taixuan, the head of the sect, and Master Taisheng, who manages the Merit Hall, have the most interactions with us and have the best relationship with Master..."
"I say, that's enough between you two. Do you want to settle down in my warehouse?" Shi Fengdu knocked on the door and spoke out in frustration.
Since announcing his engagement, Chen Xiao has become much more thick-skinned and can remain calm even if caught being affectionate with his elder brother.
"Well, um, thank you, Brother Shi." Chen Xiao pulled Xi Yunting and the two walked out of the warehouse. "I'm sorry, I didn't pick a suitable one."
Shi Fengdu was speechless, and waved his hands weakly for a long time, "I really owe you two!"
"Brother Shi, sorry to bother you." Xi Yunting said calmly, "We will return to Luochen in two days, so we will say goodbye in advance this time."
Shi Fengdu straightened his face and nodded: "I won't see you off then. Please take me to say hello to Master Xiang Taisu."
After returning from the Island Master's Mansion, Chen Xiao walked around the place, looked at the homework of his two apprentices respectively, and then came to the courtyard where Er Shun lived.
Ershun is surrounded by Wanqing and two other maids. Now that Wanqing has been promoted, she can also manage the people under her.
Chen Xiao has been so busy these days that he really has no time to take care of Ershun.
Fortunately, Ershun has always been considerate, gentle and docile. He gets along well with Wanqing and the others, so their life is not boring.
Er Shun was a little excited when she saw Chen Xiao. She put down the needlework in her hands and looked at Chen Xiao with expectation and nervousness.
Chen Xiao nodded gently at her, Ershun clenched his hands, she took a deep breath and said, "When are we leaving?"
Chen Xiao said, "We will leave in two days. This time, we will be in a hurry unlike the last time. You can prepare your clothes and daily necessities for the journey in these two days."
Ershun asked hesitantly, "Aren't we flying this time?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "We can go by air and by land. The journey will be easier than last time. We will have a break along the way. It will take more than ten to twenty days to get there. You can bring some things to pass the time on the way."
Ershun stroked her hair and turned her head slightly confused, not knowing what she could use for entertainment. After thinking for a while, she picked up the small box containing needles and thread.
Wan Qing stepped forward and helped her pack. She looked at Chen Xiao anxiously, then looked at Er Shun, and asked softly, "Miss Tang, are you leaving? Are you not coming back?"
These servants are not disciples of the Dongyu Sect, and can only treat Chen Xiao and others as masters and servants.
Most of the host's relatives and friends are cultivators. It's rare to have a mortal relative come, and he's a gentle one at that. Not only is he humble, but he's also kind to others.
Wan Qing felt reluctant and sad when Ershun was leaving.
Ershun whispered, "I don't know, maybe I will come back, maybe I won't come back."
Wan Qing gritted her teeth, knelt down in front of Chen Xiao, kowtowed and said, "Master, please grant me grace and let me go with Miss Tang. At least I can serve her along the way."
Chen Xiao's eyebrows first gathered, then relaxed.
Ershun looked at Wanqing who was kneeling on the ground in surprise, and walked over to help her up: "Wanqing, what are you doing? Do you know where I'm going? That place is far away, and you will suffer if you follow me."
Wan Qing raised her head and said, "I am not afraid of hardship, but I am afraid of parting with Miss Tang. I am reluctant to be separated from Miss Tang."
Wan Qing had finally gotten a little braver before, but Chen Xiao founded the Dongyu Sect, and the cultivators who came there were more powerful than the others. Wan Qing often trembled in fear from the oppression.
Among a bunch of immortal cultivators, Ershun was the only mortal who made her feel at ease. She was very happy when she was assigned to serve Ershun, but she didn't expect that Ershun would leave.
Wanqing is a grown-up girl now. When she gets stubborn, even Ershun can't pull her up.
Seeing her determination, Chen Xiao said, "The journey is too long this time. Ershun, you should come with us. It's not easy for a woman. Since Wanqing is willing to follow you, let her take care of you along the way."
Ershun was very anxious and said, "How can this be possible? She doesn't know anything at all! I have already caused enough trouble to Xiao Ge, how can I add more burden to Xiao Ge?"
Chen Xiao persuaded Ershun, "You worry too much. This journey is not that hard. Having someone to take care of you will be beneficial to both you and me. You see, we are all men. If you have any inconvenience, Wanqing can help you."
Ershun hesitated when she heard this. She shook her head and said, "But what if I don't come back? What about Wanqing?"
Chen Xiao glanced at Wan Qing, who was looking at the two of them anxiously, and said, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements."
Ershun sighed and forced a smile: "Thank you very much, Brother Xiao. Wanqing and I will try not to be a burden to Brother Xiao along the way."
Chen Xiao raised his hand and flicked Ershun's head, saying seriously: "You just think too much. I am your brother. I brought you out, so I should take good care of you. There is no such thing as trouble or burden. Stop thinking about it, pack up your things quickly, and leave on time in two days!"
Ershun covered the place where he was hit and smiled warmly, "Yes, sir!"
