"So, if you can accept my past self and my present self, then you truly love me?" Shen Qingmang asked.
"yes."
"Oh..." she thought thoughtfully.
So does Gu Suihan like Qiongju and also like her? How should this relationship be interpreted?
"I used to think that you would end up with Big Brother."
"Huh?" She looked at Qi Yao, not understanding why he suddenly brought this up.
"Master has been trying so hard to bring you two together. Big Brother is a man who knows black from white and can make clear judgments on everything. If he has no feelings for you at all, how could he allow Master to keep making fun of you?"
"He never admitted it."
"But he didn't deny it, did he? I have no doubt that if you don't have someone you like by the time you become the head of the sect, and according to the sect rules, the head of the sect must have a family, then the eldest brother will wash himself and send himself to your bed that night."
"Stop joking, senior sister!" Shen Qingmang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Even if there's no love between you, you would still be together because of your sense of responsibility." Qi Yao said, shaking his head. "But things are different now."
"Hmm? Big Brother, do you have someone you like?"
"It's you." Qi Yao tapped her nose lightly. "You're not the same as before."
“I don’t have anyone I like.”
"But you've started to think about these things. Our little sister has finally reached the day when she knows and admires Shao Ai."
Shen Qingmang blushed at Qi Yao's motherly gaze and moved toward the door. "No, no, I'm just curious. Senior Sister, you're overthinking it. I'm leaving now, in case my disciples need to find me."
"Go ahead." Qi Yao waved his hand generously.
When Shen Qingmang walked to the door, he heard her say in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up." He tripped over the threshold and almost fell flat on his face.
Can't Third Senior Sister be serious for more than three seconds? I'm really worried about her wedding tomorrow.
However, Shen Qingmang's worries were unnecessary. Everything went smoothly at the wedding the next day. Qi Yao, wearing the indigo-blue wedding dress of the Wuya Sect, walked steadily towards her groom to the song "It is better to drink wine and grow old with you. The zither and the harp are in the palace, and everything is peaceful and good." The moment the two held hands, petals of various colors fell like rain, and everyone present was immersed in the fragrance of flowers.
"Master, Master, I also want to hold my wedding in Chaohua Palace in the future!" Si Rong said excitedly.
"How about borrowing some flowers from Chaohua Palace?"
"You're going to marry someone from Chaohua Palace?"
Shen Qingmang and Hao Xin's voices rang out almost simultaneously, and Si Rong looked at Hao Xin. "Who I marry has nothing to do with where I hold my wedding. I can hold it wherever I want."
"That's fine." Hao Xin nodded.
Shen Qingmang looked at the two of them with a smile. Si Rong stretched out his fist and punched Hao Xin. "What's okay? I didn't discuss this with you. What does it have to do with you?"
"I'm your junior apprentice, so I can't ask for anything?"
"Now I admit that you are my junior apprentice."
"No?"
"Alright, alright." Shen Qingmang pulled the two little brats apart. "Don't quarrel at someone else's wedding."
The crowd watching the ceremony suddenly became noisy. Shen Qingmang looked up and found Qi Yao holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Huh? There's actually a custom at Chaohua Palace weddings where the bride throws the bouquet? Was this something Li Shutong designed?
Before she could react, Qi Yao smiled and threw the bouquet, which fell right into the arms of Gu Sui Han who was next to her.
Gu Sui Han looked at the bouquet in his hand blankly.
Qi Yao smiled and shouted, "Sui Han, Uncle Master sends his blessings to you. May you find your sweetheart soon!"
Shen Qingmang said anxiously: "Senior Sister! You are too ridiculous!"
Qi Yao looked innocent. "How did I act silly? I wish Sui Han a happy new year. What does that have to do with you?"
Gu Suihan also chuckled in her ear and said, "Master, won't you bless your disciple?"
She glared at him. "I hope you'll find your way back soon."
"How do you know that there will be sweetness after bitterness?" said Gu Sui Han.
Shen Qingmang realized belatedly that his behavior of identifying himself with the person was too obvious. He rubbed his eyebrows and felt helpless.
It must be that the aftereffect of the Spring Leak was too strong. She would never drink this kind of wine again.
After the wedding, Su Miaoran walked over to her. "Qingmang, did you ask me for help yesterday? Sorry, I was busy arranging the wedding and didn't return to the palace until that evening, so I didn't bother you."
"It's okay. I've already learned about the situation from my senior sister." Shen Qingmang smiled. "I might bother you again in a few days."
"Miao Ran is always at your service."
Shen Qingmang led the disciples back to Liuping Courtyard and found that Second Senior Brother Qi Xiao had already packed his luggage and was putting it into his Qiankun bag. Seeing her, he said, "I'm leaving. Are you coming back?"
"Let's go to Zhigemen, Master. There's nothing fun here." Hao Xin said.
"No, I haven't had enough fun!" Si Rong retorted.
Shen Qingmang skillfully extended his arm to block the two of them and said to Qi Xiao, "I'll stay for a few more days. Senior brother, please go back first."
"Alright, I'll be leaving first."
Shen Qingmang thought Qi Xiao wanted to say a few more words to her, but he just said that and flew away on a cloud, just like he was escaping from a fire scene.
It seems that it is really hard for Second Brother to live in a strange place for so many days.
"Great! Stay a few more days! Master, can we go to the Love Trial Stage?" Si Rong asked.
"Why do you want to go to the love audition stage?"
"I heard it's a really fun place, and all the monks who have been there are very happy. Moreover, monks from outside Chaohua Palace can also go there, as long as they pay a small fee. At worst, I can just pawn the magic weapon that Second Uncle gave me."
"Luckily, your Second Senior Brother has already left, or he'd definitely be heartbroken." Shen Qingmang laughed. Second Senior Brother's aesthetic was quite masculine. When he lost the bet, the magical instruments he gifted to her disciples were all of high quality, but their appearance was unbearable, as if aesthetics had been sacrificed for practicality. The outer disciples were delighted with them, but none of her three inner disciples had any use for them.
"Let's go play, let's go play!" Si Rong pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly.
"this……"
"Didn't Master say yesterday that Chaohua Palace was a 'mental health education base'? We can go to the Love Test Platform not only to have fun, but also to learn."
"I……"
"Don't embarrass Master, Junior Sister." Gu Suihan said, "Master will never accompany you to the Love Test Stage."
"Why?" Si Rong looked up at him. Shen Qingmang moved his lips but said nothing.
"The love trial requires facing your own feelings. Master probably doesn't dare." He looked into her eyes.
"No! Master, there is nothing you dare not do! Master is the most powerful cultivator in the world!" Si Rong shouted.
Hao Xin curiously asked, "Is there a place Master doesn't dare to go? If I've been there, would that make me more powerful than Master?"
"Go, go, go." Shen Qingmang said, unable to bear it any longer, "Don't provoke me. It was you who said you wanted to go. Don't regret it later."
