"You can rest assured," he comforted her. "I have never approved of ghost marriages. After you have completed the ceremony, Grandpa will be less vigilant, and I will secretly let you leave."
“Your grandfather…” Feng Guang, who was still feeling sad, suddenly remembered something and asked, “Are you named Ning Yi?”
"That's right, my name is Ning Yi."
Her eyes immediately lit up. "No way! I'm going to marry you, not someone else!"
Ning Yi paused, seemingly finally realizing that holding her for so long was inappropriate. He put her down, coughed softly, and looked embarrassed. "I am devoted to the Dao and have no intention of settling down and starting a family."
"It's okay, you'll have it eventually." She lifted her skirt and took another step closer to him. The tension and fear from before were gone, and now she was unusually excited.
Ning Yi was a little unaccustomed to her enthusiasm, so he took a step back and said, "Don't do such dangerous things anymore. I'll find a way to let you leave."
"Okay, I believe you." Feng Guang looked at him with a smile, and seeing that he seemed embarrassed, she asked again, "Why would your grandfather hold a ghost marriage for someone who has been dead for hundreds of years?"
"Our Ning family originates from the Maoshan lineage. Hundreds of years ago, an ancestor of the Ning family, moved by the plight of wandering ghosts, began to transport their corpses back to their hometowns in addition to exorcising demons and monsters, helping them to be reincarnated smoothly," Ning Yi said. "We don't know when it started, but our Ning family became a famous clan of corpse drivers. However, in recent decades, the magical talents of our younger generation have become increasingly weak, and our reputation has declined. My grandfather..."
"He knew that your Ning family ancestor was unmarried, so he thought of this way to make him happy and ask him to bless your Ning family to return to the peak of Taoist arts?"
“Exactly.” Ning Yi touched his nose, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed. He hadn’t expected Feng Guang to see through him so easily. But no matter what, it was his grandfather who came up with such an unreliable method, which had implicated this innocent young lady.
Feng Guang sighed, "I understand."
Since it's for the sake of the family, the old man of the Ning family certainly won't let her leave easily.
"I'm sorry, I wanted you to leave at the time, but I didn't expect that in addition to sending me to stand guard and wait, Grandpa also sent other people..." When placing the personal belongings of the dead, of course someone has to stay and wait. Otherwise, what if a man picks up the things while they are looking for the bride?
Feng Guang smiled and said, "I know. No matter what, I will thank you."
"Someone will take you to the hall for the ceremony in a moment. Don't be afraid, it's just a simple wedding ceremony." However, the person she was marrying was a memorial tablet.
Feng Guang nodded, and Ning Yi then left. He had only come to comfort Feng Guang and couldn't stay too long.
Sure enough, after about fifteen minutes, someone came to take Feng Guang to the main hall. Because she had spoken with Ning Yi, she was relieved that she was not in any danger. She cooperated and had someone put a veil on her head and help her into the main hall.
As she stepped across the threshold, she heard a gentle voice in her ear, "Don't worry, I'm here."
That one sentence instantly calmed her down.
The old patriarch of the Ning family said sternly, "It is your honor to marry our ancestor."
She muttered to herself, "Since it's such an honor, why don't you go and marry him?"
