Chapter 188 Getting Married Now?
Bai Lingxiao successfully kept Yun Zhao there, and Mieji breathed a sigh of relief, continuing to prepare his plan without paying any more attention to Bai Lingxiao.
After the divine consciousness left his sea of consciousness, to be on the safe side, Bai Lingxiao did not acknowledge Gu Dinghan, who was still in the house. Instead, he said he was tired and wanted to rest.
Yun Zhao said considerately, "Senior Sister Bai, you should rest well. We'll head out now."
They had all noticed Bai Lingxiao's unusual behavior. Combining what she said with what Meng Wenchang had seen and what she had done, they made some guesses.
"Junior sister, your senior sister won't let you leave. She said she needs to change your medicine. One plus two, three days. It seems like she wants you to stay for three days."
"Also, the action that Senior Sister just did was something we agreed on; it meant there was danger involved."
Gu Dinghan concluded: "Is it because we're not letting you leave the Qingyun Sect, or because it's dangerous outside?"
Yun Zhao asked in confusion, "What about the three days?"
Gu Dinghan scratched his head. "After three days, there will be no danger, and we can go out?"
Yun Zhao felt that Bai Lingxiao didn't mean that.
She repeated everything Bai Lingxiao had said, and Qi Yan found that the later parts were quite interesting.
"Senior Sister Bai seems to want to stay in Qingyun Sect, especially on the main peak. Although Senior Sister Bai was clearly abducted by Song Zhiyuan, she was killed... and then the sect leader sent her out."
"Zhaozhao, what did you say to the sect leader?"
"It's nothing," Yun Zhao thought for a moment, "It's just that I was supposed to go out to find my grandfather, but the sect leader didn't seem to want me to go out..."
She paused, exchanged a glance with Qi Yan, and asked, "Could it be that the sect leader wants Senior Sister to hold me back and prevent me from leaving the sect?"
Qi Yan tapped the table. "But we can't keep you trapped for long. Senior Sister Bai's injuries will heal sooner or later, which means we only need to keep you trapped for a while."
"Time...three days?"
Qi Yan nodded. "Perhaps."
Yun Zhao's lips twitched. "What's the point of trapping me for three days? Are you going to kill me after three days?"
"I even took him out. By the way, how's the system's preparation going?"
What was said casually was taken to heart by Qi Yan.
The idea that had been lingering in his mind grew increasingly urgent.
"Zhaozhao, no matter what, let's heal Senior Sister Bai's injuries first. I have something I want to ask my grandfather, so I'll go find him now."
"Yes, by the way, be careful, your grandfather doesn't like you."
Yun Zhao joked.
Qi Yan patted her little head. "It's alright. This is Grandfather's test for me. I will definitely be able to withstand it."
"Alright," Yun Zhao shrugged and made a thumbs-up gesture, "I wish you success."
After leaving the house, Qi Yan's smile vanished, and he hurried towards Yun Yi's courtyard.
It is unclear what the two discussed, but that very evening, Yunyi suddenly announced that they would be married the following day.
Yun Zhao: "???"
"Grandfather," she said, somewhat bewildered, "have you gone mad from practicing cultivation? Are you alright?"
Just a few days ago, he found fault with everything Qi Yan did, but today he directly announced that they should get married.
Yun Zhao had some suspicions that Qi Yan had bewitched her grandfather.
“Alas,” Yunyi sighed, “Grandfather’s old bones are getting old, and I don’t know when he will be buried. If he doesn’t get to see you get married, he probably won’t be able to close his eyes in peace even after he dies.”
Yun Zhao: "..."
Wait a minute, you might live for thousands more!
Regardless, Yun Yi insisted that the two of them get married, and Yun Zhao couldn't refuse him, so he agreed and turned to interrogate Qi Yan.
"To be honest," Yun Zhao said seriously, "did you cast a spell on my grandfather?"
“I would like to,” Qi Yan said helplessly, “but unfortunately, I don’t have one.”
He grabbed Yun Zhao's hand and pulled her into his arms. "Zhao Zhao, if there were Gu poison, guess which Gu poison I would want the most?"
"what?"
"Love potion," he said earnestly, "If I plant it in you, you'll be with me forever."
Yun Zhao snorted and muttered, "It's like I'm not with you right now."
Qi Yan pretended not to hear and kept pestering Yun Zhao to get married the next day.
Yun Zhao doesn't like having too many people present at her wedding; she prefers having close friends and family and doesn't like things to be too lively.
Qi Yan, however, was not satisfied. If it weren't for the special circumstances, he would definitely have held a grand wedding.
During this special period, not much was decorated on Qingyun Peak. Only red silk was hung and the character for "happiness" was pasted in Yun Zhao's courtyard.
Although Yunyi was hindered by some matters, he still felt uneasy about Qi Yan's persuasion for his granddaughter to get married today, as the wedding was so rushed and so shabby.
It's all because of the extinction energy; otherwise, he could have given his granddaughter a grand and lavish wedding.
Fortunately, Qi Yan promised that after the aura of extinction was eliminated, he would hold another celebration so that people, demons, and monsters could rejoice together.
Although he didn't understand what the Demon Realm had to do with it, he thought the more lively it was, the better.
Qi Yan had prepared the wedding dress long ago. If the wedding couldn't be a grand affair, then everything else had to be perfect.
There was also the betrothal gift, which Qi Yan took with him when he left the demon realm, practically emptying the demon palace.
There were also gifts from Qi Han and Granny Yan, which almost filled ten storage bags.
Not to be outdone, Yun Yi mobilized his maternal family to prepare a dowry for Yun Zhao. To his surprise, the girl named He Song prepared even more than he, her grandfather, had!
Yunyi didn't understand.
Bai Lingxiao was afraid that the Extinction Qi was monitoring her, so she suggested that she would not participate. The Extinction Spirit volunteered, as it could temporarily hide from the Extinction Qi's surveillance.
Taking this opportunity, Bai Lingxiao told Yun Zhao everything she had experienced. Before Yun Zhao could react, Meng Wenchang and Gu Dinghan were already furious.
That damned Song Zhiyuan actually coveted his senior sister! They wished they could stand in front of him right now and beat him up!
Leaving those matters aside for now, after the girls had finished dressing up Yun Zhao, at the auspicious hour, Qi Yan and Yun Zhao went to the front hall together.
Yun Yi and Qi Han were seated at the head of the table, along with the memorial tablets of Yun Zhao's parents and Qi Yan's mother.
Lu Mingdao presided over the ceremony, and under his guidance, the two bowed to Heaven and Earth and their parents, and then to each other as husband and wife.
Just after I finished praying, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, a purple thunderbolt, and then nothing else happened.
Yun Zhao thought to himself: Has the Heavenly Dao gone mad?
Where she couldn't see, the system silently withdrew its hand.
It's been a while since I've had any lightning strikes, so I'm a bit rusty. I was originally planning to make something colorful to celebrate.
It struck the wrong lightning, but by some twist of fate, it startled the Qi of Extinction. He shuddered, and almost broke the things in his hands.
"Why is there lightning out of nowhere? And purple lightning at that, could it be..."
The Qi of Extinction, realizing that possibility, turned pale and quickened the pace of its movements.
He wanted to implement the plan before Heaven noticed it, so that once Song Zhiyuan and Bai Lingxiao replaced Yun Zhao and Qi Yan and became the new Lady and Son of Destiny, Heaven would be powerless against him!
Thinking of the future, that he could dominate and control this world, the Aura of Annihilation revealed a maniacal smile.
