"Did you need something, senior brother?"
When Qin Wan spoke, both men present were stunned.
Ling Mubai was surprised that after so many things had happened, Qin Wan could still call him "senior brother" so calmly.
For his sake, the ancestor used her, even going so far as to alter her marriage with Ji Jue.
For his sake, the ancestor harbored murderous intentions towards her and Ji Jue.
If she hadn't made prior arrangements...
Even though Qin Wan used an ancient forbidden technique on him, Ji Jue never resented her.
He felt more ashamed than anything else towards Qin Wan.
If it weren't for him, she and Ji Jue wouldn't have been targeted by the Ancestor...
“…Junior sister, I’m sorry.” Ling Mubai looked at her with remorse and spoke with difficulty.
"Senior, what do you think of these post styles? Which one looks the best?"
Faced with Ling Mubai's apology, Qin Wan didn't respond, and casually picked up the various wedding invitation templates on the table.
"A-Jue and I are planning to hold a dual cultivation ceremony. Senior brother, you absolutely cannot miss it."
"We've been fellow disciples for many years, and I hope to receive your blessing, senior brother," Qin Wan said with a smile.
Their eyes met...
Seeing the undisguised happiness in her eyes, Ling Mubai forced a smile.
"good."
"My senior brother will definitely go."
She and Ji Jue were destined to be together. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have gone through so many twists and turns and almost missed each other.
Thinking of this, Ling Mubai smiled weakly.
[Ji Jue's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 98.]
Qin Wan's actions pleased Ji Jue greatly.
Even though Qin Wan and Ling Mubai seemed to have nothing between them anymore, Ji Jue still didn't intend to let them continue chatting as if no one else was around.
"There's a sword move I don't quite understand. Could you please guide me, Master?"
Qin Wan frowned and looked over.
The moment their eyes met, Ji Jue didn't give her a chance to speak, "Is now alright?"
Qin Wan: "..."
Qin Wan subconsciously looked at Ling Mubai.
Ling Mubai quickly composed himself, gave Qin Wan a faint smile, and didn't let her notice anything amiss.
"Then, junior sister, please continue with your work. I'll head back now."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Qin Wan did not try to stop her.
Seeing this, Ling Mubai understood everything.
Before leaving, he gave Qin Wan a deep look and finally revealed the purpose of his trip.
"The ancient forbidden technique on my body cannot be lifted by our ancestor, so junior sister can rest assured."
"Thank you, senior brother," Qin Wan said calmly.
“And…” After a brief moment of distraction, Ji Jue looked at her with a complicated expression.
"……sorry."
"Senior brother, you can rest assured that after the ancestor passes away, the ancient forbidden technique on your body will be automatically lifted."
Upon hearing this, Ling Mubai paused almost imperceptibly.
Is the ancient forbidden technique he possesses related to the passing of his ancestor?
Meeting Ling Mubai's suspicious gaze, Qin Wan smiled faintly, offering no explanation.
Ling Mubai wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that Qin Wan didn't seem inclined to explain, he quietly left.
"Did Master tamper with the forbidden technique?"
Ji Jue walked up to Qin Wan at some point and suddenly asked.
Qin Wan glanced at him indifferently and explained, "Yes, forbidden techniques stacked upon forbidden techniques."
“As long as the Ling family patriarch tries to remove the forbidden technique from my senior brother, he will suffer a backlash.”
"Another ancient forbidden technique that I hid on my senior brother will silently enter the body of the Ling family patriarch and devour the little life force he has left."
"Of course, this is not easy to achieve. The first thing to do is to completely disarm the Ling family patriarch..."
After hearing Qin Wan's explanation, Ji Jue fell silent.
Master really planned everything meticulously, leaving no stone unturned...
-
Before receiving news of the passing of the Ling family patriarch, Qin Wan received Xiao Han's farewell.
After emerging from the Heavenly Demon Realm, the first thing Xiao Han did upon returning to the Heavenly Cloud Sect was to go into seclusion and break through his cultivation barrier.
A few days ago, he finally broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and now meets the requirements for the sect to go out for training alone.
On the eve of Jiang Shuyu and Nangong Rou's dual cultivation ceremony, Xiao Han quietly bid farewell to Qin Wan and left Tianyun Sect alone.
On the day of the Dual Cultivation Ceremony.
Even though she already knew, seeing the endless stream of people offering congratulatory gifts and blessings, Nangong Rou couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment in her eyes.
Senior Brother...
"Rou'er?" Jiang Shuyu quietly took Nangong Rou's hand.
Nangong Rou's thoughts returned, and looking at Jiang Shuyu beside her with a gentle expression, she smiled.
Well then, she and her senior brother were ultimately destined to be apart.
She and her second senior brother...
Thinking of this, Nangong Rou silently prepared herself mentally. When she looked up at Jiang Shuyu, a faint smile of relief appeared on her face.
"Senior brother..."
"Hmm? Rou'er still calls him Senior Brother?" As he said this, a faint look of anticipation appeared in Jiang Shuyu's eyes.
"...Husband."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyu smiled, a bright look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ji Jue's eyes darkened, and he turned his head to look at Qin Wan with a deep gaze.
The moment their eyes met, a faint look of confusion appeared in Qin Wan's eyes, as if she didn't understand what was wrong with him.
"Master, our dual cultivation ceremony is just a few days away. It is the most important day of my life."
"Master, as my only elder in this world, could you please give me a wedding gift in advance?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's suspicion deepened.
What kind of gift do you want?
"Master, may I call my disciple 'husband' beforehand?" Ji Jue asked in a surprising way.
Upon hearing his lewd words, Qin Wan was taken aback at first. After regaining her senses, her face darkened, and she glared at him irritably before turning to leave.
Seeing this, Ji Jue did not stop her, but strolled beside her and accompanied her away.
"Is Master embarrassed to speak up because there are too many people around?"
"How about we go back to Phoenix Mountain?"
"Today, only my master and I are on Phoenix Mountain, and no one will disturb us."
Qin Wan: "..."
"Husband? Gentleman? Master? Which one does Master prefer?"
“…Ji Jue.” Qin Wan paused in her steps, turned her head and stared at him intently.
"Hmm?" Ji Jue looked at her innocently.
Their eyes met...
After a strange, brief silence, Qin Wan suddenly smiled brightly, much to Ji Jue's bewilderment.
Her smile is beautiful, ethereal, and stunning...
But Ji Jue felt a chill run down her spine, sensing that there was a deeper meaning in that smile.
"Master?" Ji Jue called out to her tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan smiled brightly.
"Hmm? What's wrong, husband?"
Ji Jue: "!!!"
"Husband?" Qin Wan seemed to feel that the excitement wasn't enough, and called out again.
"My lord?"
Qin Wan continued calling out.
Ji Jue: "!!!"
Just as Ji Jue was immersed in joy, Qin Wan suddenly asked, "Ji Jue seems to really like it when I call you that?"
Ji Jue snapped out of her daze, her burning gaze fixed on Qin Wan, her eyes churning with intense emotions...
Seeing this, Qin Wan sensed something was wrong and instinctively wanted to back away to create some distance...
