C1023 An Awkward Meeting!
The night passed quickly, and the next day arrived. On this day, it was the engagement ceremony between Qing Xinyue and Qing Lingxuan, so the entire Sunlight Empire was busy early in the morning. Whether it was the disciples of Sunlight Empire or the members of Taiqing Gate, they all gathered on the stage with flowers in their hands.
A lot of red flowers were piled up, surrounding the platform a few hundred meters away. It looked very warm, but no one knew how much danger there was in it.
Qing Lingchao had been standing in the main hall since last night, standing for the entire night. Today, he was also standing at the top of the main hall, looking down at the bustling scene below, but in reality, he was already filled with a sense of crisis.
Based on this speed, Lin Feng should have arrived at the Sunlight Empire by now, right? As Qing Lingchao thought about it, a trace of anticipation appeared in his heart.
The old man's guess was correct. Lin Feng and Chu Chunqiu had already flown into the territory of the Sunlight Empire. The two of them continued to fly at full speed towards the capital city of the Sunlight Empire. The capital city was still two to three million miles away from the border, and it would take them at least two to three hours to fly at full speed.
Lin Feng did not waste any time and continued to fly towards the capital without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the Taiqing Gate was lively. The surroundings of Qing Lingxuan's main hall were also bustling with noise and excitement. Qing Lingxuan had already put on a red taiji robe with a five-clawed dragon engraved on it. He was wearing a golden hat with a dragon coiled on it.
At first glance, he looked extremely handsome and handsome, but on closer inspection, he was somewhat repulsive, though ordinary disciples didn't dare to think that way.
Qing Lingxuan was so excited that he could not sleep for the whole night. He did not know why the master suddenly made this decision. Yesterday, he decided that he would get engaged to Qing Xinyue today.
Of course, Qing Lingxuan had to be prepared because once he was engaged, it meant that Qing Xinyue would be his wife. From now on, he didn't have to worry about Qing Xinyue thinking about other men, especially Lin Feng.
As a jade girl, Qing Xinyue cared most about her reputation. As long as she became a married woman, how could she think about other men?
No matter how she thought about it, Qing Lingxuan had won.
"Haha, Lin Feng, how are you going to fight me? Tsk tsk, you miserable person, you put in the most effort, but you were caught by the mysterious person."
"Although you appeared in the Essence Hall and destroyed it, what can you change? I used you, and I owe all the credit to myself. What can you do to me?"
"Now that Xinyue is so disappointed in you, you are the only one who saved her. Hahaha. That feels so good!"
"Lin Feng, I told you to be arrogant, I told you to be arrogant, I told you to be arrogant. Let's see what you can do this time."
Qing Lingxuan's face was filled with excitement and indescribable joy. He felt that doing this was too satisfying. The best way to strike a blow to Lin Feng was to make the woman who liked her his own woman. Even if his strength might not be as good as Lin Feng's, he would still be the victor this time.
"Lin Feng, what are you going to use to fight me?" Qing Lingxuan asked again, his face full of pride. Now he was only waiting for noon. The engagement ceremony would begin, and after noon, everything would be set in stone.
The beautiful life was getting closer and closer to him.
Qing Lingxuan's living room was filled with laughter and joy, but Qing Xinyue's room was surprisingly quiet.
As usual, Qing Xinyue held the small booklet in her hand. This was something that had been accumulated in her daily life. As the sect master, she had to take care of it.
"Master, you... please put on the Tai Chi Robe."
The maid at the side reminded Qing Xinyue with a worried expression. The red taiji robe was on the bed, but Qing Xinyue did not even look at it. She continued to review the booklet, making it very difficult for her.
Qing Xinyue did not seem to hear her as she continued to review the brochure, making notes in red from time to time.
The maid did not dare to ask any more questions. Qing Xinyue was the sect master. With just a word from the sect master, she would lose her life.
Time passed slowly, and the two of them were in a stalemate. Qing Xinyue looked calm, but it was difficult for her to calm down. She felt bitter and sad. She never thought that the master would marry her to Qing Lingxuan.
Why was this? She didn't understand why the master loved her so much. Why was it that what she did today was unfair?
She was waiting, believing that Qing Xuduan would definitely meet her and explain everything to her.
So she was stalling, not wearing a wedding dress, which was also a way of resisting, and she had the right and the power to do so, because she was the master of the Taiqing Gate.
The maid could not delay Qing Xinyue, so she could only retreat and report everything to Qing Xuduan. When Qing Xuduan heard this, his face couldn't help but change. He sighed and smiled bitterly.
If there was any other way, he would not have wronged Qing Xinyue, his most beloved female disciple. He treated her as his own daughter because he lost his daughter when he was young, and Qing Xinyue looked very similar to her only daughter. That was why he loved Qing Xinyue so much.
This time, he had no other choice. The power struggle between him and Qing Lingchao was too serious. If he did not make a move earlier, he might be suppressed. At that time, Qing Xinyue would not be able to continue being the sect master. All of this was disadvantageous to Qing Xinyue, so he naturally had to do so.
Once Qing Xinyue and Qing Lingxuan got married, he would be the Grand Sect Master for the rest of his life. There was nothing Qing Lingxuan could do because other than being his disciple, Qing Lingxuan also had an even more hidden identity. This identity was the reason why Qing Lingchao was worried.
So the marriage between Qing Xinyue and Qing Lingxuan was the most successful way to save power.
Qing Xuduan knew that he had to go to Qing Xinyue's room and have a heart-to-heart talk with her. Otherwise, if this woman hated him because of this matter, it would not be worth it.
When Qing Xuduan thought of this, he walked straight to the main hall where Qing Xinyue lived.
There was only half an hour left before the engagement ceremony began. It was almost noon, and even the hot sun had set in the middle of the sky.
A figure moved on the high platform, and gradually, many people walked up, including the Supreme Elders of the Taiqing Gate. All of them wore white Tai Chi robes, and other than the highest seat of honor, there was also the Dragon Throne at the side. The rest of the seats were filled by the nine Supreme Elders.
Qing Lingxuan had been standing at the top of the hall the entire time. Seeing this scene, he started to get anxious. Did Lin Feng not appear?
If Lin Feng did not appear, then no one would be able to stop all of this. Qing Xuduan's scheme was about to be achieved.
Time slowly passed. Soon, it would be a quarter to noon.
At this time, Qing Xuduan appeared below the stage. He was dressed in a bloated Tai Chi robe, and after ascending to the stage, he finally sat in the only main seat, but there was no one on the Dragon Throne beside him.
"Could it be that Xinyue doesn't understand?" Qing Xuduan thought to himself and began to worry. She had talked a lot with Qing Xinyue just now, and she had agreed to her request. But Qing Xinyue had yet to appear. Why was that?
The platform began to stir, and many of the disciples began to discuss why the Gatemaster had not appeared when even the Gatemaster had arrived, and today was the Gatemaster's engagement ceremony.
Qing Lingxuan had already put on his red taiji robe and stood in the distance, waiting for the ceremony to begin. However, Qing Xinyue did not appear. It was surprising.
"What's going on? It's almost noon. It's not good to delay the auspicious hour."
One of the nine Grand Elders shouted angrily. The entire Taiqing Gate could hear it clearly, and Qing Xinyue could also hear it clearly.
Qing Xuduan glanced at the Grand Elder and could only give up. This old man was one of Qing Lingchao's men. He couldn't provoke him. The fifth level of Divine Monarch was quite powerful.
Of the nine Grand Elders, four of them were at the fifth level of Divine Monarch, three were at the fourth level of Divine Monarch, and the remaining two were at the peak of the third level of Divine Monarch.
Of the nine Grand Elders, only three supported him. Of the remaining six, other than the Grand Elder who led his own faction, the other four all supported Qing Lingchao.
Therefore, the situation was very delicate. Although the Taiqing Gate looked peaceful on the surface, it was very dangerous inside.
...
Outside Qing Xinyue's room, two figures appeared in front of her. Both of them were wearing black cloaks and their auras were well hidden.
"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?" Qing Xinyue shouted angrily. Her expression changed drastically.
"Heh, little girl, we are your benefactors who saved you from Ju Vally. Is this how you treat us?"
Chu Chunqiu grinned and teased Qing Xinyue. He lifted her robe and revealed her true face.
Qing Xinyue's expression changed slightly. When she saw Chu Chunqiu's face, she couldn't help but feel guilty. When she woke up and saw Chu Chunqiu, she had an impression of him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was Young Master Chu. Please don't take offense." Qing Xinyue bowed slightly to express her guilt.
"Hey, forget it, forget it. I'm not the main character today. It's him." Chu Chunqiu waved her hand and smiled indifferently. Then she pointed to Lin Feng.
Qing Xinyue followed her finger and looked at Lin Feng.
"Brother, it's your turn to appear."1
Chu Chunqiu laughed and looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked up and saw Qing Xinyue's beautiful face. She was wearing a red taiji robe and a phoenix coronet. She looked as pure as ever.
"You are?" Qing Xinyue frowned as if she knew the figure very well, but she was not sure if it was the man she was thinking.
Lin Feng remained silent. He took off his black robe and revealed his true face.
Qing Xinyue was shocked when she saw Lin Feng's face.
The atmosphere became silent.
It was an awkward meeting!
