We transferred to a spirit boat in an open area on the outskirts of the city. The huge spirit boat hovered in mid-air, with a waterfall of spiritual energy like silk cascading down.
The younger generation of the Rong family were fascinated, especially the two students at the National University of Defense Technology who were very curious about the energy of these so-called spirit stones and decided to ask their aunt for some to study.
As the spirit boat entered the clouds, Mo Bai quietly took the bride's hand: "Are you tired?"
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head.
Before long, exclamations rang out—the spirit boat had passed through the sea of clouds, and a clear view suddenly appeared before them.
The Ling Mountain, where the Mo family was located, was shrouded in mist and clouds, and the entire mountain peak was covered in red.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine jade steps wind their way up from the foot of the mountain, with a Mo family disciple holding a flower basket standing on each step.
"Welcome, Young Master's Wife!"
The deep sound of bells resounded through the sky, and a shower of flowers drifted down with the wind.
The spirit boat slowly landed at the mountain gate, and Mo Bai led Rong Jiaojiao by the hand onto the red carpet.
"Wait a minute." Rong Jiaojiao stopped, took out a brocade pouch from her sleeve and handed it to Ziling beside her, "Go and distribute it to the children on the steps."
Zi Ling opened the bag and found it full of spirit fruit candies. Her eyes immediately crinkled into crescent moons with joy.
When the disciples were being divided into groups, the young disciples on the steps were all beaming with joy. One of the bolder children shouted in a clear voice, "Thank you, Young Master's Wife! Young Master's Wife is so beautiful!"
Mo Zhenting and the rest of the Mo family waited in front of the main hall.
Upon seeing the newlyweds arrive, the old man stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "The auspicious time has arrived; let's begin the wedding ceremony!"
"First bow to Heaven and Earth—"
As Rong Jiaojiao turned around, the tassels on her phoenix crown swayed gently.
Through the beaded curtain, she saw the sky ablaze with rosy light, and faintly, cranes circling overhead.
"Second bow to the parents—"
Qing Xuanzi, who was sitting at the head of the table, was wearing a new Taoist robe, which was a rare sight for him, and his eyes were slightly red.
Mo Yuntao and his wife, who were standing next to Mo Zhenting, looked very pleased, and Fu Ya and Rong Lianhu were also invited to the main seats.
"Husband and wife bow to each other—"
As Mo Bai bent down, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "We've finally waited for this day."
Rong Jiaojiao's ear tips instantly turned crimson.
"The ceremony is complete! Proceed to the bridal chamber!"
Amid cheers, Mo Bai scooped up the bride in his arms.
Amidst the good-natured cheers of the crowd, he strode towards the bridal chamber on the back hill.
Rong Jiaojiao exclaimed in surprise and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, the pearls on her phoenix crown jingling.
The bridal chamber was set up in Tingtao Pavilion on the edge of a cliff, where one could see the churning sea of clouds through the window. Mo Bai carefully placed the person on the wedding bed covered with red dates and peanuts, and then took the jade scale to gently lift the veil.
Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned.
In the candlelight, Rong Jiaojiao's makeup was exquisite, with a touch of gold powder at the corners of her eyes, making her look like a fairy stepping out of a painting. Mo Bai's Adam's apple bobbed, and then he uttered a very down-to-earth phrase: "Wife..."
Rong Jiaojiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, instantly breaking the atmosphere.
Mo Bai pinched her cheek helplessly and said, "You stay here, I'll go and call my two nieces to keep you company."
"good!"
Before long, a cousin brought Rong Yue and Rong Xuan. Not only did they come, but Lin Xiaoman also came.
As soon as Rongxuan arrived, she chattered away, "Auntie, I've seen so much today! You don't know, I used to think the brigade commander's son was such a noble and handsome man."
"But today I finally know what true nobility is, what it means to have the qualities of an immortal, and what true aristocratic style is!"
Rongyue nodded repeatedly: "I just passed by the martial arts arena and saw dozens of Mo family disciples performing swordsmanship. The sword light was like a rainbow!"
Mo Bai's cousin, Mo Yu, covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's our Mo family's 'Rainbow Cloud Sword Technique.' If you're interested, you can learn it after we recognize each other tomorrow."
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Okay."
Lin Xiaoman handed over the gift: "Jiaojiao, congratulations on your wedding!"
After thanking her, Rong Jiaojiao accepted the gift and asked with a smile, "When are you and Qi Lan getting married?"
Lin Xiaoman said with some worry, "It might be soon."
Rong Jiaojiao frowned: "Why are you unhappy? Did you two have a fight?"
Lin Xiaoman shook her head and said sadly, "No, it's my grandmother. She suffered too much in her early years. Even though I found her a lot of tonics after I became her apprentice, her body still reached its limit. She was about to die, and she wanted to see me get married before she passed away, otherwise she was worried that no one would take care of me."
Rong Jiaojiao asked in confusion, "Then you should just get married. Why are you looking so gloomy?"
Lin Xiaoman's eyes welled up with tears: "Since we separated, Qi Lan came to the Zhao family and then went into seclusion to break through to the late stage of the Celestial Master realm. I don't know if she can catch up with us."
“I’ve been thinking lately about whether I should marry a decent young man, otherwise my grandmother won’t be able to rest in peace.”
Before Rong Jiaojiao could figure out how to comfort Lin Xiaoman, a furious shout came from outside: "Lin Xiaoman, you'd better take back what you just said, or else..."
Before she could finish her threatening words, Lin Xiaoman rushed out overjoyed.
The four people in the room looked at each other, and Rong Jiaojiao and Mo Yu exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Rongyue and Rongxuan curiously ran to the window and peered out through the window frame.
"Is that Qi Lan she was talking about?" Rongxuan turned around excitedly. "He's so cool, just like a god in a TV drama."
Upon hearing this, Rong Jiaojiao also walked to the window. She saw a tall and handsome man standing in the courtyard, wearing a royal blue robe with a gold belt around his waist. His handsome face still showed signs of travel fatigue.
Lin Xiaoman threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face: "Why did you take so long to come..."
Qi Lan hugged her tightly, his voice a little hoarse: "You heartless bastard, I just broke through and didn't even have time to consolidate my cultivation. I came as soon as I saw your message."
She said through gritted teeth, "Luckily I came, otherwise I wouldn't have known you were going to marry someone else."
Lin Xiaoman burst into laughter through her tears: "Who told you to go into seclusion for so long..."
Rongxuan covered her eyes and exclaimed, "Oh my, is this something a girl under eighteen should be watching?"
Rongyue tapped him on the head: "Go back. These are all important people here. Don't joke around."
Rongxuan stuck out her tongue and retreated. Outside, Qi Lan and Lin Xiaoman left hand in hand to discuss their wedding arrangements.
As darkness fell, servants brought food to the four people in the room, and by the time they finished eating, it was completely dark.
A clear bell rang out from outside, and Mo Yu's eyes lit up: "It's the spirit crane that's delivering the nuptial wine!"
Three pure white cranes gracefully arrived, each carrying a tray made of golden nanmu wood, with a red rope and a golden bell tied to its ankle.
Rongyue was surprised to find that the wine jug on the tray was tilting on its own, and the amber wine drew a beautiful arc in the air before falling steadily into the jade cup floating in the air.
Mo Yu explained with a smile, "This is the Mo family's unique 'Flowing Clouds Intoxication,' which requires spiritual power to control in order to bring out its best flavor."
