When Xu Yinglian was dragged out of the door, he found that all the maids outside the door were gone, as if they had been sent away in advance.

"Don't make trouble!" She finally reacted and tried to break free from her brother's hand. "Even Master is on the guest list this time. Don't act on impulse!"

"I'm not acting on impulse." Qiu Changtian said with a smile, "Don't you think that, at least in this marriage, the family should give you room to choose?"

"I did say that." Xu Yinglian frowned and taught him coldly, "But this is not a reason for you to act recklessly at this moment!"

"Is he acting recklessly? I don't think so." Qiu Changtian said with a smile, "Tell me the truth, if you follow the family's arrangement this time, will it be a regret that you will never be able to make up for in your life?"

"So what?" Xu Yinglian said angrily, "The reason why I am willing to endure this injustice is because..."

The rest of her words came to an abrupt end because Qiu Changtian had already reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes - she didn't even know when she started crying.

"Junior Sister Xu." Qiu Changtian put away his smile and said seriously, "As long as you are still willing to call me Senior Brother, I will not let you suffer these grievances again."

"You!" Xu Yinglian looked panicked and subconsciously wanted to step back, but Qiu Changtian grabbed her waist.

Instantly guessing that her senior brother was going to take her away by force, Xu Yinglian wanted to scream, but was sealed by her senior brother again.

The Jade Dragon Sword flew out from his sleeve and turned into a golden sword light, instantly wrapping the two of them in it and soaring into the sky.

It was not until he was above the clouds that Qiu Changtian released his sister who was having difficulty breathing and laughed:

"Who do you think I am? I am Kunlun's Grand Chief Qiu Changtian! If I can't even stop my junior sister from being wronged, how can I be worthy of being a shitty senior brother!"

"You bastard!" Xu Yinglian was so angry that he punched him on the chest several times as if to vent his anger, but soon turned around and hugged his senior brother.

It was not because she was moved by him, but because the Jade Dragon Sword was flying too high and it was a little dangerous... She thought silently in her heart, closed her eyes, and put her face on her senior brother's chest.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Xu family members suddenly discovered that the bride and groom were missing, and they immediately became like ants on a hot pan, in a panic.

"What happened?" The head of the Xu clan and the elders of the clan also came together. Seeing the empty boudoir and the maids lying on the ground trembling, he was so angry that he slammed his crutches on the ground repeatedly and asked angrily, "How could this happen? Could it be that Ying Lian and the son-in-law had a quarrel and the two of them left in anger?"

"Let's not talk about this for now!" an elder said anxiously, "All the ritual instruments in the tribe's land have been prepared, and the tribe members have gathered together. What should we do next?"

"What should we do, what should we do..." The Xu clan leader said gritting his teeth. Suddenly, Xu Changqing pushed through the crowd of elders and walked out.

"Master Qingyang, what do you think we should do?" The elders started to make a fuss.

"Junior Brother Qiu has already told me about this in advance." Qingyang Zhenren Xu Changqing said calmly without any hurry.

"This..." The elders looked at each other.

"Junior Brother Qiu said," True Man Qingyang continued, "Ying Lian is not unhappy with this marriage, but she does not want the family to forcefully interfere in the marriage."

The elders were confused when they heard this. So you were willing in the beginning, but you refused to do it even though the family was helping you. How can that be logical?

"So Junior Brother Qiu should ask her opinion first." True Man Qingyang smiled. "If Ying Lian didn't plan to follow the family's arrangement, he would have taken Ying Lian away directly. As a Kunlun cultivator, one should seek to achieve a state of mind that is unobstructed. How can one be forced to succumb to these red tape for a little fame? Having unclear thoughts is a small matter, but affecting subsequent cultivation is a big deal."

The elders fell silent, while the head of the Xu clan thought for a moment and then showed great joy on his face.

Indeed, the wedding could not go on because both the bride and groom disappeared.

However, this just illustrates another point, that is, "Qiu Changtian, who was also arranged to marry, had no dissatisfaction with this marriage."

On the contrary, he attached great importance to Xu Yinglian's feelings, so much so that he took her away early just for her slight grievance.

(Here, the Xu clan leader has defined the two people's behavior as "leaving early" rather than "escaping from marriage")

It would be shameful that the wedding could not be held, but if he could get a close son-in-law from the Xu family in return, who was also a genius with a clear mind of Taoism, it would be like losing face but gaining rich benefits. How could he not be satisfied?

"Then what should we do about this wedding?" An elder in the clan did not expect the key point and asked with a frown.

"That's fine." True Man Qingyang said with a smile, "Let's gather the clan members in the inner house first, and don't let them go out. Let's pretend that Junior Brother Qiu is participating in the ancestor worship inside."

"I will go out to entertain the guests, and when the banquet is over, I will say that the wedding process has been completed."

"Then if someone asks, why are the bride and groom not seen..." another elder asked worriedly.

"I'll handle it." said Master Qingyang.

So everyone had no objection.

On the other side, Qiu Changtian had brought Xu Yinglian back to Kunlun and landed at the entrance of her cave.

At this time, all the junior brothers and sisters were attending a wedding banquet in the Xu family's clan territory in Tiannan, so Jinling was empty. Only countless white-feathered cranes stayed there, leisurely combing their feathers.

"Let me go." As soon as he landed on the ground, Xu Yinglian loosened the hand that was hugging his senior brother and shyly poked him with his elbow.

Qiu Changtian loosened his grip on her waist, thinking that his junior sister's waist was really thin and soft... No, should I call her a good wife?

He frowned slightly and said in distress:

"Junior sister, since you have escaped this marriage, does that mean we have not yet become a Taoist couple? Then is it not legitimate for me to call myself 'husband'?"

When Xu Yinglian heard the word "husband", she was a little confused at first, then felt uncomfortable, and said with a wry smile:

"Forget it. I'm used to calling you Senior Brother."

"Oh, I see." Qiu Changtian nodded.

"As for whether or not we are Taoist couples, does it matter?" Xu Yinglian blinked and suddenly smiled, "Everyone in the world knows that my senior brother and I have become Taoist couples. Even the clan will definitely not publicize this matter. They will definitely say that the wedding has already been held in full."

"Whether I call you husband or senior brother from now on, what difference does it make? As for the so-called 'legitimate', there is no need for a ceremony to prove it."

Her smile was bright and beautiful, less cold and detached than usual, but more filled with an overflowing sense of warmth and happiness, which almost made Qiu Changtian lose consciousness.

But he quickly came to his senses and deliberately teased her:

"So Junior Sister is also obsessed with outside opinions. I thought Junior Sister, a Phoenix Fairy like her, would have already put her heart above things and not care about what outsiders think of her."

"Who wouldn't be afraid of public opinion killing people?" Xu Yinglian was not angry, but continued to smile, "As for the title of 'Phoenix Fairy', although I like it, I don't care."

"Then what does Junior Sister care about?" Qiu Changtian asked.

His answer was a soft kiss.
