"This is probably the youngest Spirit Venerable in the history of the entire Cangming Continent."
People kept sighing, some envious, some admiring, and some jealous.
"Yes, Princess Anping has really kept her abilities well hidden..."
"······"
Those who know, know; no one dares to speak.
The implication was simply that Ji Jiuying had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. But who was Ji Jiuying? She was a first-rank princess personally appointed by the emperor, the chief disciple of the Star Academy, a guest elder of the Star Academy, protected by two major assassin organizations, the master of the divine dragon, the contractor of a divine beast, and the youngest Spirit Venerable expert in the Cangming Continent. Even the emperor had to kneel down and kowtow to her.
This person is so audacious as to sow discord in front of the emperor! This is intolerable!
The emperor frowned as he listened, glancing at the man who had spoken earlier. At this moment, the empress spoke up: "Commander Chen, take him out, leave him alive, and kill him tomorrow."
The Empress's eyes, filled with a hint of murderous intent, stared at the man who had just spoken. If it weren't for the fact that today was her son's wedding day, she would have made sure he never saw the sun rise again.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Commander Chen lifted up the man who had spoken earlier. The man screamed in terror, "You, I am an envoy of the Western Jin Dynasty, you cannot kill me!"
"Commander Chen, this is so noisy! Quickly shut him up."
The Empress frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes, and said with disdain.
"Waaaaah..."
In an instant, only a whimpering sound remained before the person disappeared into the crowd. Everyone looked at the man and shook their heads. What a fool! How dare he be so arrogant in front of the emperor? Doesn't he even consider the current state of their Western Jin Dynasty?
The two people in the backyard of the main hall were completely unaware of what was happening in the front hall and were chatting leisurely.
Jun Lintian looked at the red-clad girl in the sky and muttered to himself, "I never expected that the Vermilion Bird would be in her hands. I should have known."
Looking at Ji Jiuying's face, Murong Ning thought of the person who saved her back then, and turned to look at Jun Lintian: "Hey~ Jun Lintian, does she really not have any brothers or anything like that?"
Jun Lintian seemed to have gotten used to her calling her that, and shook his head: "I'm sure, no."
Murong Ning sighed softly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. Even though he already knew the answer, he still thought of him every time he saw her.
"Is something on your mind?"
"It's nothing." For some reason, Murong Ning didn't want to tell Jun Lintian too much about him.
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Jun Lintian did not ask any further questions. "We should go back now, lest they discover that we have left."
As she spoke, she picked up the veil from the stone table and handed it to Murong Ning. The two quietly returned to their original positions, as if they had never left.
Just tens of meters above the ground, the divine beast Vermilion Bird disappeared from everyone's sight. What came into view was a girl in red. The girl's long skirt swayed in the wind, her hair was simply tied up with a hairpin, and her long black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her slowly descending figure was like a flame in the snow, or a red plum blossom in the frost.
A crimson lotus bloomed wildly between her brows, adding to her allure. Her clear, phoenix eyes were bright and dignified, yet filled with arrogance and wildness.
"Anping greets the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager."
Ji Jiuying's voice pulled everyone back to reality. The emperor then realized that she must be the benefactor Master Kongchen had mentioned. Overwhelmed with gratitude, he quickly nodded, "Very well, on behalf of the entire Cangyue Kingdom, I congratulate Anping on breaking through to the Spirit Venerable realm."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, everyone present, except for the emperor, empress, and empress dowager, knelt down and offered their congratulations to His Excellency.
The voice was like thunder. In the Cangming Continent, the status of someone who could break through to the Spirit Venerable level was even more noble than that of the emperor. When a country had someone who broke through to the Spirit Venerable level, the entire country would be proud.
Ji Jiuying was somewhat dazed, completely unaware of what had happened.
Seeing the doubt in her eyes, the Empress stepped forward, took her hand, and smiled, "Those who break through to the Spirit Venerable realm are revered as Venerables in the Cangming Continent, and their status is supreme."
Ji Jiuying understood and nodded.
"So that's how it is."
"Isn't today His Highness the Crown Prince's wedding day? We mustn't miss the auspicious time."
Ji Jiuying smiled, and everyone then realized that they had all come outside, but the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were still inside the main hall.
Soon, everyone returned to the main hall one after another. They saw the Crown Prince and Crown Princess still standing in the middle of the hall. Everyone's faces were filled with apology, and they instantly felt sorry for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
Ji Jiuying sat next to the Empress, and Jun Buhui quickly moved a stool to sit behind her. At this moment, the Empress Dowager spoke up: "Quiet."
"This auspicious day is always a lucky time. Yuan'er, where are we?"
Zhenyuan stepped out from the crowd and said, "Empress Dowager, it's time for the wedding ceremony."
"Let's begin then."
Zhenyuan cleared his throat and said, "The newlyweds shall perform the wedding ceremony—kneel."
"Bowing to Heaven and Earth, with Heaven and Earth as witnesses, we are happily united in marriage."
The two slowly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"rise."
"Bowing twice to our parents, may our two families be forever united, and may our descendants be numerous."
The two turned around and knelt before the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager.
"rise."
"Husband and wife bow to each other, play music in harmony, and grow old together."
The two stood up and faced each other.
"Rise, escort them to the bridal chamber, the ceremony is complete."
With the help of the matchmaker, Murong Ning was led to the bridal chamber. Murong Ning only brought one maid with her, who also followed her into the bridal chamber.
