Three days later.
The entire Qi tribe was filled with joy as Sheng Lingxiao and Qi Boyi's wedding was held as scheduled.
Everyone wore genuine smiles, happy for the two newlyweds and raising a glass to the tranquility before the big battle.
Everyone knows that the current calm is just the prelude to a major battle, and once the battle begins, no one can say for sure whether those around us will have the chance to raise a glass together.
The crushing defeat of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty was merely an appetizer; the real enemy was the alien race and the terrifying Heavenly Dao.
There was no distinction between guests and hosts at this wedding, because apart from Mr. and Mrs. Wu, the people from Daqi were also considered Sheng Lingxiao's family.
Needless to say, everyone on Ye Boyi's side was a member of the little girl's family.
The one who dressed Boyi in her wedding gown and did her hair was her sister-in-law, Princess Zhang Kaifeng of the Daozong clan.
It was Xiao Liu who draped the robe over Sheng Lingxiao's head. Originally, Xiao Jin was supposed to be the one arranged by Xiao Boqi. It was quite prestigious to have the emperor drape the robe over someone else's head.
But Sheng Lingxiao firmly shook his head, because ever since His Highness's mother-in-law said that she had obtained the giant hammer, a sacred artifact of the Witch Clan, which could slay dragons, he had noticed that Xiao Jin seemed to be ready to attack him at any moment.
In a sense, Sheng Lingxiao and Xiao Jin are similar, both using their invincible physique to crush their opponents. However, Sheng Lingxiao always felt that Xiao Jin had a trump card that could defeat him.
It's not worth taking this risk for our wedding today.
Qinghe came because she was a member of Boyi's maternal family.
Xue Rongrong also came; she was also a relative and close friend of Boyi's.
Lin Beichen also arrived, and he came to have his senior sister test his sincerity. After all, he had already brought out all his savings, so he had to test whether his senior sister was satisfied.
More importantly, he wanted to meet Qi Boqi in person.
He cultivated the Way of Nature and Non-Action, but having served as a free henchman for Ye Boqi for so long, he had to come and meet the real master.
What surprised everyone the most, and what made the people of the Yi tribe uneasy, was that people from Wuji Temple also came, led by Ancestor Mingrou and the current Holy Son of Wuji Temple.
Wuji Nunnery is where the Holy Maiden succeeds as sect leader, and the Holy Son and Holy Maiden unite to assist the Holy Maiden in protecting the sect.
However, the Bright Moon Ancestor reigned for too long, and one Holy Maiden after another was worn down, so this generation simply did not appoint another Holy Maiden.
Now that it has been announced that Yi Boqi is the successor to the head of Wuji Temple, this holy son of Wuji Temple, nicknamed Xiangsutou, has come to worship the Lord.
Crispy Head is his nickname, but his real name is Ding Youxiang.
This guy is fair-skinned and chubby. He has loved eating crispy pastries since he was a child, so that's how he got his nickname. The most interesting thing is that when Elder Mingrou introduced him to Yiboqi, she didn't mention his real name, but instead called him "Crispy Pastry".
Xiao Boqi understood this. Mingyue Laozu was telling him in this way that Wuji Nunnery was given to him by Laozu, and Xiangsu Tou was someone he could completely trust.
He is not your potential rival, but rather an ally that your ancestor found for you.
"Sect Leader, that woman...she seems quite nice. May I get to know her?"
This was the first thing Xiang Su Tou said to Huang Boqi, and the woman he wanted to get to know was named Zhang Kailing.
The little girl of the Zhang family's direct lineage who was beaten to tears by Yi Boqi on the ring.
Before Huang Boqi could speak, his wife chimed in with a smile.
"Second brother, this little fat boy is here to make amends."
He Boqi naturally understood what his daughter-in-law meant by those words, and also understood the purpose behind Xiangsutou's actions.
The current Wuji Temple belongs to Yi Boqi. He is the Holy Son of Wuji Temple, and logically he should marry the future sect leader.
But now that the sect leader has become Ye Boqi, can Ye Boqi marry him?
No, so he expressed his interest in Zhang Kailing to her face. This was his attitude and also a way of showing his stance to Xiao Boqi.
The reason why it's so hard for Zhang family daughters to get married is that whoever marries a Zhang family daughter will eventually be drained of their wealth by the Dao Sect. But now Wuji Nunnery belongs to my senior brother, the sect leader, so I'm not afraid.
I am under the command of the sect leader, and marrying a daughter of the Zhang family would be a double blessing.
This is a smart but not annoying little chubby boy.
He Boqi would choose husbands for the girls of the He tribe, but he would not act as a matchmaker for the daughters of the Zhang family. The reason was that the daughters of the Zhang family were too wicked and far less innocent and docile than their own sisters.
With a radiant smile, Yi Jiusheng sat at the head of the table, while Mr. and Mrs. Wu and Boyi's parents sat below him. The tea ceremony was the most important part of the wedding.
After bowing to heaven and earth and serving tea, they were officially husband and wife.
His wife is truly amazing, and Xiao Boqi really has to give her a big thumbs up for that.
She and her father had never met before, but after a few words, her father was so charmed by his daughter-in-law that he laughed heartily, his face beaming with satisfaction.
After laughing, he glared at Yi Boqi and said, "You unfilial son, get out of here!"
"I have something to give to Feng'er."
His wife waved to him, saying, "Go on, Ancestor Mingrou is waiting for you."
In a quiet pavilion halfway up the mountain, Ye Boqi poured a cup of tea for Ancestor Mingrou, and then sat down opposite him.
"You little rascal, you always think so complicatedly. It's been so long since you've been to Wuji Temple."
Ancestor Mingrou playfully slapped the back of Qi Boqi's hand, then straightened his clothes, her eyes full of doting affection for her junior.
"Your senior sister sent you to Wuji Nunnery in order to give you the sect, but you are afraid that it will be difficult for your ancestor. But have you ever thought about it? Your ancestor is doing this for the future of Wuji Nunnery."
"Now that a great war is about to break out, how can Wuji Nunnery stand aside? At present, the only way for all forces in the Imperial Land to win is to unite. I am at ease entrusting the sect to you, your ancestor and I are at ease."
Upon hearing this, Yi Boqi chuckled.
"I've been too busy, I haven't had the time."
Ancestor Mingrou lightly tapped the back of his hand again.
"You little rascal."
He paused for a moment, then asked with a complicated expression.
Is he alright?
He Boqi knew that Mingrou Patriarch was asking about Dongfang Lu, who was also his old steward, Soda Lu.
That old steward was not only a holy son of Wuji Temple of the same generation as Ancestor Mingyue, but also someone who was mutually in love with Ancestor Mingrou.
The two were deeply in love, but were hindered by societal norms, leaving them with such regrets for so many years, which, in Ye Boqi's view, was extremely unworthy.
His wife did a very good job in this regard; worldly opinions meant nothing to her.
If you dare to speak ill of me in the eyes of the world, I will make sure you never reincarnate. But unfortunately, neither Dongfang Lu nor Ancestor Mingrou are such people.
"He has returned to Daqi."
After speaking, he looked at Ancestor Mingyue: "But I imagine it won't be long before we arrive in the Imperial Land, you..."
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Mingrou waved his hand, preventing Yiboqi from continuing.
"Let's not talk about that. The current situation isn't suitable for discussing this. The main reason I came here is that your ancestor asked me to deliver something to you."
As he spoke, Ancestor Mingrou took out a jade slip and handed it to Yiboqi.
"During our last conversation, I heard that a woman with a Heavenly Cave Body appeared in Daqi. This could very well be the key to finding the Earth's core and unifying the two continents."
