Inside the room, the maid gently put a red veil on her head, and she sat quietly on the big red bed, waiting for the King of Chu to come and pick her up.
Half an hour later...outside the Ji family's house, there were loud gongs and drums and firecrackers.
"My uncle is here."
"My uncle is here."
The relatives and elders in the Ji family's reception room stood up and rushed to the gate to greet them.
Ji Wuchang, wearing a red robe, came to the door with a smile on his face, and saw dozens of spirit horses with big red flowers tied to them coming. The spirit horses were pulling red sedan chairs and boxes of rare treasures.
"Son-in-law, you are finally here."
Chu Gong rode a spirit horse with a big red flower hanging on his chest, looking very high-spirited.
He got off the carriage, a smile on his face, "Father-in-law, I'm here to pick up the bride."
"Haha...ok...ok, come in."
Chu Gong was followed by Liu Neng and Elder Wu, and came to the Ji family surrounded by people.
Inside Ji Jingyi's boudoir... the maid came forward excitedly and said, "Miss, the son-in-law is here. Should we close the door and make a scene in the bridal chamber?"
Her hands tightened around her red skirt, "No, that's all."
"Yes, miss."
There were hurried footsteps and noise outside the house.
Dong...
The door of the room was opened, Chu Gong looked at the woman on the bed and strode forward.
"Jingyi, I'm here to pick you up."
"Um."
"Come, come, come... Eat some noodles before you leave, it means longevity."
At this time, a white-haired wet nurse came over with a bowl of noodles in her hand.
Then, the wet nurse fed the noodles into their mouths while muttering auspicious words.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, everyone applauded and cheered.
Chu Gong held her hand and said, "Come on, follow me back to Chiyu Peak."
"good."
Chu Gong carried her on his back, strode out of Ji's house, and carried her to the red sedan chair.
"Son-in-law, you must be good to my daughter." Ji Wuchang warned while standing aside.
"Don't worry, I will always be loyal to Jingyi."
"Okay...Okay, I'm relieved now."
Afterwards, he mounted his spirit horse and led Ji Jingyi towards Chiyu Peak...
Akabane Peak - a straight stairway on the mountain, looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can't see the end at a glance.
There are red ribbons hanging on both sides of the handrails of the stairs, and a red flower hanging next to each stone pillar. Sometimes guests come up the mountain from the foot of the mountain with gifts.
Lu Jingzhi was one of them. He stepped on the Wind and Cloud Steps and rushed towards Chiyu Peak, followed by Yan An and Luo Xue who came to join in the fun.
"Jingzhi, wait until I'm full before you start."
Lu Jingzhi glanced at Luo Xue speechlessly, "Maybe we won't even have a chance to eat, and you'll start taking the opportunity to make things difficult for me."
"Ah! If I had known I would have eaten my fill before coming here."
Yan An pinched her cheek helplessly, "You are such a foodie."
Luo Xue held her arm and rubbed her head against it, "I'm growing up now."
"Okay, when this is over, I'll take you for a good meal."
"Really?! The Empress has been so kind to me."
Lu Jingzhi looked at the two people being affectionate and thought, "Sure enough, she's here and she's snatched away my sweet, soft and sticky master."
[When will a man come and take her in?]
The three of them walked up the mountain and arrived at Akabane Peak standing on the top of the mountain.
Lu Jingzhi looked up and saw that their gate was made of jade. The gate was five meters high, with three large characters "Chiyu Peak" inlaid in the middle. The three characters were magnificent and radiated golden light.
Dozens of Chiyufeng disciples stood at the door, where a rectangular red table was placed. Guests would hand their invitations to the disciples when they came forward.
Lu Jingzhi took out the invitation from his ring and said, "Let's go in."
"good."
The two followed him and came to the disciple who was registering the guest list.
"I'm here to congratulate you at the invitation of Miss Ji."
The disciple looked up and glanced at Yan An beside him. His eyes seemed to be out of control and he was deeply attracted to her.
“Ahem…”
Hearing Lu Jingzhi's cough, the Chiyu Peak disciple reacted and picked up the invitation on the table to read it. After confirming that it was authentic... he asked, "What are the names of the Taoist friend and the two girls?"
"My name is Lu Jingzhi, this is my wife Yan An, and my sister Luo Xue."
[Wife?] Yan An felt sweet inside, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Sister? Why is her last name Luo?"
"Cousin, can't you?"
The man thought about it and realized that it was indeed correct, so he wrote Yan An and Luo Xue's names on the guest list.
When he wrote the word "six", he hesitated to continue writing.
"Uh...fellow Daoist, what's your name?"
He twitched his lips and said, "My name is Lu Jingzhi."
"Oh, Lu Jingzhi, Lu Jingzhi!"
"What are you excited about?"
The disciple's expression changed from calm to mocking. "No, it's just that Master Lu's name is well-known among us. We are well aware of your past with our Ji Jingyi, and now we finally see him in person."
The others were also attracted by his shouting, and when they learned that he was the cuckold whose love was stolen by the Son of God, they all showed mocking expressions.
"you."
Luo Xue couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she clenched her fists and wanted to smash their faces one by one, but Lu Jingzhi grabbed her arm.
"Don't lose the big picture for the small."
"Hmph." Luo Xue snorted unwillingly.
"Hahaha... Look at him, he's scared. He's worthy of being called a green-haired turtle."
"Yeah, you actually have the nerve to attend the wedding. If it were me, I would just stay at home and not go out."
"Look at how beautiful his wife is. I'm sure she'll sleep with someone else in the future, and he'll continue to be cuckolded."
Lu Jingzhi's face turned cold and he dodged and hit the man in the face.
"ah!"
He screamed and flew backwards, his face sunken. He lay on the ground motionless, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and after reacting, they roared, "Brothers, attack us if you dare to hit us."
"stop."
Several disciples were stunned and looked at the wedding procession flying from the sky.
The spirit horse Pu flapped its wings and descended from the sky to the door.
"Your Excellency the Holy Son." The disciple saluted respectfully.
He got off his spirit horse and asked, "What happened?"
"Sir Saint, this Lu Jingzhi is really arrogant for beating our people."
"Oh?" Chu Gong looked at him with interest, then he noticed Yan An behind him, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The next second… he immediately put on a gentlemanly expression, “Brother Lu, our disciple is truly rude. I hope you won’t blame us.”
"Well, since he cursed my wife and I beat him up, then the matter is even."
"Okay, remember to eat and drink well later. Also, your wife is so beautiful, you have to look at her carefully."
Hearing his suggestive words, Lu Jingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and did not respond to him.
Chu Gong mounted the spirit horse again, holding the reins in both hands, and said, "Let's go."
The spirit horse once again transformed into wings and flew towards the sky...
Inside the red sedan, Ji Jingyi lifted the red veil, looked out the window, her eyes fixed on Lu Jingzhi.
