Xiao Yuhan's implication was quite obvious: he wanted to let Li Qianyun go, but Li Qianyun's cultivation had been crippled by him, and even if she had another chance to cultivate, it would be very difficult.
But if he were locked in a dungeon, his life would be over. So, seeing that the two were in love, he thought it better to let Liu Bishui follow him, so that at least she could protect him.
Both of them understood Xiao Yuhan's meaning. Liu Bishui knelt before her master and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you, Master!"
Li Qianyun glanced at the girl, then at his master, hesitating. He seemed unwilling to implicate his sect any further, and shook his head in refusal. But Xiao Yuhan immediately said, "Li Qianyun, why do you think I saved you? If you feel guilty towards me and our sect, then live well, live like a man, and don't make me look down on you! Understand?"
Hearing this, Li Qianyun's eyes filled with tears. She dragged her weak body to kneel before Xiao Yuhan and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Master, for granting my request!"
"Leave tonight! Now, you two will pay your respects to heaven and earth, and I will officiate your wedding. You both followed me when you were young, and it is a good thing that you can now tie the knot!"
After speaking, Xiao Yuhan presided over a simple ceremony for the two of them. Then, he took out two immortal swords and two protective magic items from his storage magic artifact and handed them to them. "Consider this your wedding gift. From now on, you will be wandering the world. You will always need weapons to protect you. Bishui, cultivate well and protect your husband. Qianyun, a girl was willing to give up everything she had for you and wander the world with you. You must never betray her in the future, or I will kill you with my own hands!"
The two kowtowed and accepted the gifts from Xiao Yuhan. "Thank you, Master. We understand!"
"There are still some pills here that can help you recover from your injuries. I will have the disciples on the back mountain path withdraw in a moment, and you may leave on your own. From today onwards, you two are expelled from the sect! You are never to return to the Heavenly Sword Sect again. Now get out of here!"
The couple kowtowed to Xiao Yuhan again, then left the room. After a long while, Xiao Yuhan sighed and walked out of the courtyard.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuhan seemed to realize something. He turned around and saw his senior brother Liu Jiantang sitting on the roof, holding a wine gourd, coldly looking at Xiao Yuhan. "Junior brother Xiao... why bother? Even if you left them here, junior sister wouldn't say anything."
Xiao Yuhan shook his head. "People have to take responsibility for their mistakes. If I let him stay, I would be letting down the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect who died or were injured. So... why is Senior Brother here at this time?"
Liu Jiantang gave a helpless wry smile and waved his hand. "I saw that you seemed to have a lot to say to me just now, so I came to find you after it was over. Alright, Junior Brother Xiao, I didn't see anything today. Let's go, have a couple of drinks?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan smiled slightly, then jumped onto the roof, took out two jars of fine wine from his storage artifact, and handed one jar to him, saying, "These two little ones are lucky to have you, senior brother, witness their wedding. Here! I usually can't bear to drink this wine, so consider it a wedding feast!"
Liu Jiantang smiled slightly, "Then congratulations, Junior Brother Xiao. Shall I go and see them off?"
"No need. Li Qianyun knows the Discipline Hall better than you and I. No one will make things difficult for them."
Liu Jiantang glanced at Xiao Yuhan and smiled, "Junior Brother Xiao, you've really changed. You're more humane than before. I'm very happy!"
Xiao Yuhan smiled slightly, "Senior brother, you flatter me. Junior brother has broken the rules..."
"Alright, don't you know what kind of person I am? Am I the kind of person who is two-faced? Even if I have to make things difficult for those two kids, I won't make things difficult for you, kid."
Xiao Yuhan laughed even more happily, and then said, "Senior brother knows I can't hold my liquor, but I'll drink with you tonight, even if it costs me my life!"
"Hmph! Forget it, with your alcohol tolerance, how much could you drink even if you risked your life? Why don't you just say what you wanted to say but didn't in the main hall!" Liu Jiantang looked at Xiao Yuhan, his expression becoming somewhat serious.
Xiao Yuhan nodded. "I want to know what it felt like when you entered the Dao Integration Realm, Senior Brother."
"You're curious about why I was able to enter the Dao Integration Realm, right? We're brothers, let's just say what we want to say, no beating around the bush!" With that, Liu Jiantang took a swig of wine.
