"Master, long time no see."
The man in black slowly took off his hood, revealing a handsome face with a faint smile on his lips. That smile was a bit evil and unruly, but also made people feel very kind. He looked at Yourong Rouxue affectionately.
All the elders of Piaomiao Xianzong present were horrified. They stared with their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they saw. The man in front of them was none other than Xue Lian, the giant of the magic path from hundreds of years ago! And he also had another identity, that is, the only disciple of Yourong Rouxue.
Rong Rouxue's eyes instantly turned red, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She stared blankly at Xue Lian in front of her, with mixed feelings in her heart. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch the familiar face, but she couldn't believe that all this was real. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly shook off Xiao Ning's hand, and then ran towards Xue Lian regardless of everything.
Xue Lian hugged her tightly, feeling her warmth and breath, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. He lowered his head and said gently:
"Master, I hope you are okay."
You Rong Rouxue hugged him tightly, fearing that he would disappear if she let go. She gently stroked his face, feeling the warmth from his skin, and tears welled up in her eyes again. She choked and asked:
"Is it really you? Lian'er, are you still alive?"
Xue Lian nodded slightly, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. He said softly: "Yes, Master, I am not dead, I am alive."
Everyone was shocked by the scene and didn't know what to do. Xiao Ning stared blankly at the intimate actions of the two. Suddenly, he recalled what Ye Wang said that day, that he was just a substitute. His heart was instantly overwhelmed by loss, as if the whole world had become dim.
And Yourong Xuanya saw that Xue Lian was alive and wanted to go forward, but when he saw Yourong Rouxue holding him, he did not move at all and just looked at him silently.
Time passed by minute by minute, and after a long time, Yourong Rouxue came back to her senses and thought of Xiao Ning. She stood up hurriedly, separated from Xue Lian, and then cast her eyes on Xiao Ning.
"Ning'er, um... let me introduce you, this is my disciple, Xue Lian."
Xiao Ning slowly raised his head and looked at the man. He was handsome, tall, and had delicate features. He was indeed very attractive. However, there was no expression on Xiao Ning's face. He just responded lightly, then turned his head away and didn't look at them again.
Rong Rouxue saw Xiao Ning's cold attitude and understood what was going on. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she was unaware. She didn't know how to face the situation in front of her, and her heart was filled with helplessness and pain.
At this moment, Xue Lian showed a sinister smile on his face when no one noticed. Then, he stepped forward and came to Xiao Ning's side.
"Xiao Ning, is that so? I'm so sorry to have disturbed your wedding with Master. I'm really sorry!"
After saying that, he leaned forward, then took Xiao Ning's arm, and then leaned close to Xiao Ning's ear and whispered:
"Xiao Ning, this is not the first time we meet."
Xiao Ning's eyes were full of panic. He felt that this man exuded an inexplicable fear that made him unable to see through. He tried desperately to break free from Xue Lian's hand and try to distance himself from him, but Xue Lian's strength was extremely strong, holding him tightly like an iron clamp, making him unable to move.
Xue Lian was still smiling, with a cunning light in his eyes. He looked at Xiao Ning as if he was looking at a prey that was about to be captured. Finally, he let go of Xiao Ning's hand and turned to walk towards Yourong Rouxue.
"I'm sorry, Master, for disrupting such a happy day. Please continue."
Xue Lian's voice was full of sarcasm. He walked to the black-clad man he brought with him and sat down quietly. Everyone looked at each other, at a loss, and the whole scene fell into an awkward silence.
Finally, Rong Rouxue slowly spoke: "Elder Li, please continue."
Li Changsheng finally came back to his senses, coughed, and the wedding continued.
Yourong Rouxue came to Xiao Ning again, she stretched out her hand, wanting to grab Xiao Ning's hand. However, Xiao Ning hesitated, his mind still echoing Xue Lian's words. Yourong Rouxue understood that Xiao Ning was angry, and there was a hint of apology in her eyes.
"Ning'er, if you have anything to say, please wait until we get downstairs, okay?" You Rong Rouxue said softly.
Xiao Ning came to his senses when he heard Rong Rouxue's voice and grabbed her hand. Then, they went through the rest of the process together.
After the wedding, Xiao Ning and You Rong Rouxue came to the back, neither of them spoke. The air around them seemed to freeze, making people feel depressed.
As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, as if the whole world was frozen at this moment. In the end, it was Rong Rouxue who took the lead in breaking the suffocating silence.
"Ning'er, Lian'er is just my apprentice, not as you think..." Her voice revealed a hint of helplessness, but also an unspeakable firmness.
However, Xiao Ning remained silent. His gaze was frozen, firmly fixed on the distance, and Xue Lian's meaningful words kept echoing in his mind.
“This is not the first time we’ve met”
What does it mean? Xiao Ning was thinking about it, but he still didn't know when he had seen this man, and his doubts gradually increased.
Yourong Rouxue looked at the dumbfounded Xiao Ning and gently shook his shoulders, trying to awaken his wandering thoughts. Finally, Xiao Ning came back to his senses and slowly turned his gaze to Yourong Rouxue.
"Sorry, sister, I was distracted just now. It's okay about what happened between you and him, I understand." Xiao Ning's tone was incredibly calm, but there was a hint of imperceptible loss in his eyes.
You Rong Rouxue stared at him quietly, with mixed feelings in her heart, not knowing how to respond. At this moment, Xue Lian has returned, should she continue to be entangled with Xiao Ning? This question made her fall into endless troubles and anxiety.
In the main hall, Rong Xuanya came to Xue Lian quickly. She was so excited that her whole body was shaking and her voice was choked: "Lian'er, are you really still alive?"
Xue Lian looked at the woman who had once been so caring towards him, tears glistening in his eyes, but a warm smile still hung on the corners of his mouth: "Sister Xuan Ya, long time no see. Yes, I am still alive."
After saying that, Xue Lian reached out and gently took Yourong Xuanya's hand, then placed it on her face, letting her feel her real presence. Yourong Xuanya carefully stroked her cheek, feeling the familiar temperature and touch, and the joy in her heart was indescribable.
"That's great... Lian'er, I thought I would never see you again!" Yourong Xuanya held Xue Lian's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"No, Sister Xuan Ya, we still have a long time to be together." Xue Lian said gently, with affection in his eyes.
Yourong Xuanya looked at him with a blush on her face, while Xue Lian held his hand tightly, with the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly...
