Chapter 128 The number one swordsman is a big liar!
Fu Shiyu is not a realm spirit, he is Lingyue Immortal Venerable.
Su Xiaoyuan chewed on the news in a daze, her heart seemed to split open, and the ecstasy of regaining what she had lost gushed out.
So he's not dead, he's still...
Then anger swept over.
He had been lying to her all along! From the beginning!
Until now, she has carefully hidden the memories related to Fu Shiyu in her heart, not daring to touch it. Occasionally, she would feel heartbroken when she thought of it.
Now someone told her that these were all fake, completely fake! What did her heartache and tears mean?
She recalled the "first time" she'd met him, when he'd asked her about the spirit realm. Did he see her sad face? Of course he did. She'd never been good at hiding her emotions.
How did he feel when he saw her being fooled around by him? Was he happy or proud?
Su Xiaoyuan was so angry that her whole body was shaking and a spot at the back of her head was throbbing, but she couldn't suppress her happiness for Fu Shiyu's "resurrection". So she became even angrier, angry that he lied to her, and even more angry at herself for being useless.
After being angry for a long time, her intense emotions slowly subsided, she gradually calmed down, and confusion rose in her heart.
Why is he in the secret realm?
It was just an ordinary secret trial realm.
Was it purely out of curiosity and fun? From what she knew about this man, he probably wouldn't be interested in a group of trial participants, nor would he use such a thing as entertainment.
But who knows? After all, who would have thought that the number one swordsman was actually a liar?
Su Xiaoyuan felt that the anger that had just been extinguished was showing signs of rekindling, and she tried hard to suppress it.
And why would he lie?
If it was really like he said, that he fell in love with her at first sight, then what good would it do him to conceal his identity? If he had concerns in the secret realm, then he could have been completely honest when he summoned her to meet him at Wuji Palace and explained the reason for concealing his identity.
Of course she would be a little angry, but definitely not as angry as she is now.
Furthermore, from the past few days of getting along, she could tell that this man was extremely possessive. He would rather let her keep Fu Shiyu in a corner of her heart than tell her the truth. There must be some other reason...
Su Xiaoyuan rubbed her swollen temples and once again felt her brain wasn't enough.
Should I ask him directly?
No, this insidious and cunning liar might continue to deceive her.
Moreover, the contract must be signed early tomorrow morning. The soul contract is a necessary condition for her to return home, and no complications can arise at the critical moment.
Thinking of going home, Su Xiaoyuan felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her and she immediately lost her confidence.
After all, she was lying to him, and she was about to leave anyway. Was it important to find out why he lied to her?
She even had a dark thought - since they were all liars, it was fair, and she wouldn't have to feel guilty about abandoning him.
Then she realized that this was just an excuse for herself.
There's no way to even things out. Let's put one thing on one foot. He's bad, she's bad, and they can't cancel each other out.
Don't think about it, just make the contract as planned, capture him as soon as possible, and then go home.
Su Xiaoyuan closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep.
It happened that she had learned a sleeping spell in the spell class a few days ago, so she cast one on herself. After a while, her eyelids began to feel heavy, and soon she fell into a dark and dreamless sleep.
Before five o'clock in the morning, Su Xiaoyuan was awakened. What came into her eyes was the familiar face of the man, shining in the soft light of the spirit stone.
She was surprised at first, then she remembered her new discovery last night, and anger burst out like sparks.
Ling Yuexianzun seemed to notice her abnormality immediately: "What's wrong?"
Su Xiaoyuan rubbed her eyes quickly, yawned, and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, I just had a not-so-happy dream..."
"What dream?" The man looked into her eyes inquiringly. "Did you dream that I bullied you?"
"Yeah, almost..." Su Xiaoyuan changed the subject as casually as possible, "Why is Senior Brother here?"
"Come and help you change your clothes and comb your hair."
Su Xiaoyuan: "I'm not three years old, I can do it myself. Aren't we going to separate ways soon?"
She had already become familiar with the process of the engagement ceremony a few days ago. At the auspicious time, they would set out from their respective residences and head to Luoxingtai.
Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said: "I will go back later."
"It's so troublesome going back and forth."
"No trouble."
The man turned and went to the bathroom to get her some hot water.
Su Xiaoyuan looked at his back, feeling mixed emotions.
It's true that he is a liar, but he has nothing to say to her.
After he helped her wash up and have breakfast, and helped her change into her formal dress and comb her hair, Immortal Ling Yue got up and returned to Wuji Palace to prepare.
Soon, Su Xiaoyuan heard the sound of music and jade bells coming from far away, occasionally mixed with the clear calls of the Zhai bird.
When she opened the door, she saw a huge chariot parked in the air outside, pulled by twelve phoenixes with gorgeous feathers. Behind it followed a team of carriages and fairy servants, some holding feather fans, some holding jade boxes, and some waving painted banners. The end of the team was as far as the eye could see.
Zhenren Weixuan sat in front of the car, pulling the reins, and said to Su Xiaoyuan with a smile: "Congratulations, Junior Sister."
Su Xiaoyuan finally felt the reality of getting married. She became nervous and her palms were sweating.
Helped by the immortal servants to sit in the carriage, the Zhai bird flapped its wings and flew up.
Luoxingtai is located at the top of Longji Peak, and it has been the place where the peak master stargazers of all generations have been.
It was still dark when we arrived at Falling Star Terrace.
The guests have arrived.
The engagement ceremony is not like a wedding. Only the closest relatives and friends of both parties attend the ceremony. On Ling Yue Immortal Venerable's side, there are the master and several senior sisters and brothers, while on Su Xiaoyuan's side, there are the founding couple.
Su Xiaoyuan immediately saw her best friend waving her arms at her.
Her heart warmed, and she leaned out of the car and waved to her.
Then she looked at the altar in the center. A covenant formation had been set up on the platform. Hundreds of golden talismans were slowly moving along their own trajectories like stars, exuding a misty and peaceful aura.
Then she saw the familiar back of the man, his blood-red clothes fluttering in the mountain breeze.
This was the first time she saw him wearing red clothes, and Su Xiaoyuan instantly thought of a puppet in red clothes.
That was when the evil cultivators attacked the Yunyu Sect. She was on the deck watching him, his red clothes fluttering, as he killed all the evil cultivators on the ship like cutting melons and vegetables.
It seems, it's really similar.
If she only looked at the backs, she could hardly tell who was who.
Why does he have a battle puppet?
With his level of cultivation, he didn't need a puppet to fight for him, and she had never heard of Wuji Palace having other combat puppets.
Even if it is really used for combat, there is nothing wrong with Fu Tingyun's function. Why should it be abandoned and melted?
An absurd idea suddenly popped up in Su Xiaoyuan's mind.
Before she could figure it out, the man seemed to sense something and turned around to look at her. His eyes were reflecting a golden light, as if they were filled with glittering amber wine, which could easily make people fall into it and become intoxicated.
He still didn't smile at her, as if he hadn't smiled in front of her since the last time he scared her.
Wait…how did he know his smile scared her?
Of course he could see that she was afraid, but why could he pinpoint the reason?
She only said this to one person - not a human, but a puppet.
At this moment, the Zhai chariot began to descend, and soon landed in front of the formation.
Immortal Ling Yue came over and helped her get off the sedan chair. Su Xiaoyuan calmed herself down, tried her best not to let him see that she was acting strangely, and held out her hand to him.
The two of them followed the rehearsed process and went to pay their respects to their elders first.
Ling Yuexianzun’s master has passed away, and his grandmaster Wu Xuandaozu received the ceremony on his behalf.
It was the first time that Su Xiaoyuan met this legendary master.
She had heard that the master's mind was a little confused, and she had always remembered him as a white-haired old man, or at least a young man with white hair. But when she saw me, she realized that he looked like a young man in his twenties.
His eyes are indeed different from those of ordinary people. When he looks at people, they are vague and he can't focus for a long time.
After the ceremony, according to the procedure, he should say a few auspicious words and wish the couple a long and happy marriage.
Taoist Master Wuxuan stared at the two of them blankly, without saying a word for a long time.
Sect Leader Shen clenched his lips and coughed twice, and was about to do it for him, but Daoist Master Wu Xuan suddenly took out a palm-sized, irregularly shaped stone slab from his arms, which was engraved with many small dots and thin lines.
Su Xiaoyuan had taken astrology classes and knew that this was a horoscope.
However, while a normal star plate would be shrouded in aura, his was dim and had a charred crack running through it, making it look inexplicably ominous.
Fu Tingyun's eyes moved slightly. Even he could not predict what a crazy old man would do.
"Xiaoliu is getting married. I don't have anything to give you, but let me tell you your fortune." Taoist Master Wuxuan muttered as he concentrated his spiritual power on his fingertips and poked at the star map. A bright light appeared on the star map.
Master Wei Xuan always had good sense. He quickly walked over and said softly, as if coaxing a child, "Grandmaster, why did you bring this treasure? I, your disciple, have already calculated for you and your sister-in-law. They are destined to be together. You don't need to calculate it again."
As she spoke, she slowly reached out, trying to pull out the astrolabe while he wasn't paying attention.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Master Wuxuan was prepared and tapped him on the wrist with his finger. Zhenren Weixuan screamed in pain and quickly retracted his hand.
Daozu Wuxuan curled his lips and snorted disdainfully: "Your master himself is a half-baked person, and you are even worse than him. How can you predict that I will eat this star plate!"
Even as he spoke, his fingers were moving. Points of light and silver filaments continued to appear on the star disk, interweaving into an extremely complex pattern.
Su Xiaoyuan had heard that this master was a great master of divination before his brain was damaged by thunder, especially astrology. She felt dizzy just by looking at the star map, let alone interpreting it.
Daoist Master Wu Xuan was swiftly pulling countless star lines, without any disorder, and muttered to himself: "The moon is south and the sun is west, the earth is high and the well is deep, the Chun Courtyard is silent, and the shadows of geese are flying..."
Then there was a crisp sound, and the star disk completely split into two halves. The light spots scattered like fireflies and quickly disappeared.
Everyone's expression changed suddenly, except for Fu Tingyun, who remained calm.
Daozu Wuxuan blinked twice and looked at the half of the star disk in his hands, his eyes full of confusion: "Why is it broken? When did it break? I need to find Xiaowu to glue it together for me..."
He put the broken star disk back into his arms and scratched the back of his head. "What did I just say? Oh, now I remember. I wish you a happy marriage and a happy marriage."
Fu Tingyun bowed calmly, "Thank you, Daozu, for your blessing."
Su Xiaoyuan also bowed and expressed her gratitude.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the peaceful atmosphere was gone, as if an invisible dark cloud was hanging over them.
Su Xiaoyuan had just started learning astrology, but she could tell that "flying geese" was not a good thing, and the collapse of the star chart was not a good sign.
She glanced at the man beside her out of the corner of her eye, only to see that he looked normal, as if he was not affected by the prophecy at all.
But when the two of them walked hand in hand into the formation, he held her hand tightly, pinching her knuckles so hard that it hurt.
The two men stood facing each other in their respective positions, placed their palms together, and closed their eyes.
The array talisman began to spin rapidly, and two balls of spiritual light emerged from the center of their eyebrows, chasing each other head and tail like the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish, merging into one, and then separating again.
Every time they merge and separate, they penetrate each other, until you are in me and I am in you, and it is difficult to tell one from the other.
Finally, the two balls of spiritual light returned to their respective brows, and the array talisman turned into points of light, falling on them like a rain of broken gold until it disappeared.
Sect Master Shen announced in a trembling voice: "The contract is completed——"
She was obviously worried that something unexpected would happen during the contract-binding ceremony, and only then did she feel relieved.
Everyone felt relieved and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Master Wei Xuan jokingly said, "Junior brother, the bond is sealed. You don't need to hold onto my hand anymore."
Everyone laughed, their joy a little exaggerated, obviously trying to hide their uneasiness.
Immortal Master Ling Yue also raised the corner of his mouth in support, but still held her hand tightly.
The ceremony ended here, and the crowd surrounded the two of them and helped them get on the same chariot.
Immortal Ling Yue got into the car and still held her hand tightly, interlocking their fingers, as if she would disappear if he let go.
Su Xiaoyuan felt his hand trembling slightly.
She was about to say something when the man lowered his eyes and looked at their tightly intertwined hands: "Master has long lost his mind. Don't take his words to heart."
Su Xiaoyuan felt a little guilty: "Hmm..."
"We are now Taoist couples." He raised his eyes and looked deep into hers, as if two balls of dark fire were burning in them. "You will never leave me, right?"
