Senior Sister's name is Ying Tangtang, and she is the eldest disciple of Nie Qingshuang, the master of Qingyou Hall in Guanghan Palace.
Logically, Ning Yuyao's wedding should have been accompanied by the Palace Master in person, but...
When she heard that her beloved disciple, whom she had painstakingly trained, insisted on leaving the mountain to fulfill her marriage contract and marry a mortal, Nie Qingshuang was so angry that she went to the back mountain and secluded herself in seclusion, refusing to come out to meet anyone.
Later, it was only after an elder from the Guanghan Palace learned of the matter and stepped in to mediate that Nie Qingshuang finally agreed.
However, agreeing to the marriage despite her reluctance was already the limit. Asking her to personally come down the mountain to accompany him would only add fuel to the fire. In the end, only the eldest senior sister, Ying Tangtang, could step forward to fulfill this responsibility.
However, to everyone's surprise, the two of them, after descending the mountain, returned to the Ning Mansion and happened to encounter Shen Yunhao, the man they were betrothed to.
Upon asking, it turned out they had come to annul the engagement...
A mere mortal dares to annul a fairy's engagement? This is utterly outrageous!
Ying Tangtang was so angry that she exploded on the spot.
"Master was right after all. We shouldn't have agreed to let you go down the mountain to fulfill this ridiculous marriage contract! Now look what's happened, we've been given the cold shoulder. If word gets out, won't our Qingyou Palace become a laughing stock among the other three palaces?" Ying Tangtang put her hands in her pockets and looked at Shen Yunhao on the bed with increasing displeasure.
"Moreover... if Master finds out that you were jilted by someone, given her temperament, she might slaughter the entire Shen family in a fit of rage! If it weren't for worrying about this, I would have taken you back to Qingyou Palace long ago, and this farce wouldn't have happened today, causing you to suffer such injustice!"
However, Ning Yuyao, who had been listening to Ying Tangtang's nagging, suddenly looked up at Shen Yunhao, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and murmured, "Actually... I'm not wronged..."
"What? This isn't unfair? Have you ever seen a groom like this? He was perfunctory during the wedding ceremony, and then he abandoned his bride and went out to get completely drunk at night..."
Ning Yuyao shook her head and scratched her head, as if she had thought of something, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"I was quite angry at first, but... since he's back, I don't feel wronged anymore..."
Upon seeing this, Ying Tangtang immediately covered her head, displaying an expression of unbearable disapproval.
Before today, she never imagined that her junior sister, who seemed indifferent to everyone, was actually a hopeless romantic...
As the eldest disciple of Qingyou Palace, Ying Tangtang is much older than she appears. By mortal standards, Ning Yuyao could easily be her daughter...
When Ning Yuyao was twelve years old and sent to the Guanghan Palace, she took a special liking to and paid special attention to this half-grown child.
Therefore, she was well aware that Ning Yuyao had been secretly inquiring about news from the foot of the mountain all these years since she went up the mountain to cultivate Taoism.
She doesn't like to talk and rarely communicates with others, but she occasionally mentions that she has a "Brother Yunhao" who takes good care of her and is also her fiancé with whom she is engaged.
At that time, no one took it seriously.
Living in seclusion in the mountains is the best way to forget worldly troubles.
Some people, after being secluded in the mountains for a long time, will even forget their parents, let alone a childhood playmate...
However, six years later, Ning Yuyao turned eighteen and immediately announced her intention to go down the mountain to get married, which almost caused Palace Master Nie Qingshuang to have a stroke.
The usually quiet and reserved junior sister was surprisingly stubborn. If it weren't for the intervention of the senior members of the palace, this girl might have impulsively left the sect…
I wonder what kind of spell that brat cast on his junior sister when they were kids that made her remember it to this day?
But if he really only wanted her because of her family's magical background, why is he now unwilling to get married?
Besides, even if we were to break off the engagement, it would be us, not some mortal with a useless constitution like you. And why did you have to do it when they were all so happy to be getting married?
Where do you think you're going to put the face of Junior Sister, Ning Family Mansion, and even Qingyou Palace?
Nie Qingshuang might not care about the opinions of these mortals, but the other three halls of Guanghan Palace knew that their hall master had gone into seclusion because her disciple insisted on getting married, and they were watching the spectacle with interest. If the matter of annulment were to spread throughout the mountains… then the slaughter of the entire Shen family wouldn't just be empty talk; Nie Qingshuang was very likely capable of doing it!
After much back and forth, they finally decided to hold the wedding ceremony first, and if things didn't work out, they could get a divorce later, so that everyone could save face.
Of course, I don't want to go into how much suffering the junior sister endured during this ordeal...
"Alright, alright, whether you feel wronged or not, you only have three days. After three days, you must come back to the sect with me to undergo the Spirit Spring Soul Tempering. The matter of going down the mountain to get married has already made Master very angry. If you miss this year's Spirit Spring Soul Tempering, Master is afraid he will punish you by putting you in solitary confinement!"
Ying Tangtang waved her hand, got up and left, and joked as she did so.
"As for now... I won't disturb your wedding night. But this kid's drunk like this, Junior Sister, you'll probably have to take the initiative, hahaha..."
Ying Tangtang left the room with a smile, leaving Ning Yuyao's beautiful face flushed, like a ripe strawberry.
At this moment, Shen Yunhao's complexion had recovered considerably, and he was fast asleep, just like someone who had been drunk.
Ning Yuyao gazed at him for a long time, her eyes sparkling, then suddenly smiled and reached out to cover him with the blanket.
"You came back, and that made it all worthwhile..."
...
Ning Yuyao was unaware that a mile away, a beautiful woman in palace attire was suspended in the night sky, watching this scene with a livid face and her clenched fists making the surrounding air feel colder.
