The council chamber is a room specifically used by Zero for meetings and discussions.
The room is very well sealed, with only one window on the south side for daily ventilation and observation.
The three of them then sat down.
Chen Xin didn't speak, but just sat to one side.
Ling looked at Bi Hui, indicating that he could begin to speak.
Bi Hui glanced at Chen Xin, who ignored him. He shrugged and paid no more attention to Chen Xin, then looked at Ling and said:
"Since the Pavilion Master of Qianchen Pavilion is here, I believe you already know the reason, so why do you still need to ask me?"
Ling and Chenxin exchanged a helpless glance.
Should he mention that he was interrupted by people from the Daoguang Sect just as he was about to hear the important part...?
Looking into Zero's eyes, Bi Hui smiled with a hint of sarcasm:
"Oh? You don't seem to know the situation. Didn't Chen Xin tell you? Interesting..."
Zero did not explain why.
He tapped his finger on the table and looked at Bi Hui, saying:
"We can begin."
Bi Hui nodded and slowly said:
"The story begins a week ago..."
...
One week ago, in the Upper Realm, at the Daoguang Sect.
"Be gentle, don't break it. Um, put it a little to the south, yes, right there."
"Hurry up and get to work! Today is the day the young lady is getting married. If anything goes wrong, none of you will be able to stay in the Daoguang Sect anymore, understand?"
Bi Hui watched as the Daoguang Sect disciples meticulously decorated the red cloth, pasted up the "double happiness" characters, set up tall red lanterns, and rolled up the bright red curtains, finally nodding in satisfaction.
As the deputy sect leader, he shouldn't be dealing with these matters.
However, the sect leader's wife had passed away early, and the sect leader was heartbroken that he would never see his daughter get married again. He stayed in his room and refused to come out. He was worried about the others, so he could only let him, the sect leader's younger brother, Bi Hui, preside over the wedding.
Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner...
The guests entered one by one.
The sect leader also came out to greet the guests at this time.
Congratulations on your daughter's marriage!
"This is a thousand-year-old jade spirit pearl, a small gift, nothing more."
"Congratulations, Lao Bi. This is Nine Heart Grass. I'm giving it to your daughter. It can keep her young forever."
...
Amidst the continuous congratulations, Bi Jue, the sect leader of Daoguang Sect, expressed his gratitude repeatedly and invited everyone to take their seats.
Time passed by, and finally the exciting moment arrived.
"The auspicious time has arrived—"
The emcee shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to the woman in red who walked out of the inner room.
The woman had a graceful figure, and her red wedding dress accentuated her peach-blossom-like face. Her eyes sparkled with dazzling brilliance.
With red lips and white teeth, she exuded captivating charm with every gesture. Her fair skin was as radiant as moonlight, her slender waist as tight as a silken ribbon, and her ten fingers as delicate as tender scallion tips. The phoenix crown on her head and the bright pearls adorning her body shone brilliantly in the candlelight, like lanterns filling the streets on the fifteenth of the lunar month.
What an absolutely stunning beauty!
The guests were all somewhat stunned, their gazes lingering on the woman before them, while they didn't forget to flatter Bi Jue:
"Well done, Lao Bi! Your daughter is so beautiful, and we've only just met her today. Everyone else keeps a mistress in a golden house, but you've kept your daughter in a golden house! You're something else—"
A person next to him nudged the outspoken man, who then realized his slip of the tongue and was so ashamed that he dared not look at Bi Jue again.
How could he forget that the sect leader's wife passed away early, and Bi Jue never remarried? How could he use the phrase "keeping a mistress in a golden house" to tease him?
Bi Jue smiled, stood up, raised his glass to the crowd, and said:
"It's alright, today is my daughter's wedding day, everyone please drink to your heart's content!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
...
Just as the wedding was in full swing, with only the final step required to conclude, a man suddenly burst in from outside. He walked hurriedly, pointed at the woman in red, and shouted:
"We absolutely cannot let her get married! She's not even human!"
