C1024 The Engagement Ceremony Began!
"Sir Lin, what a coincidence."
The awkward atmosphere did not dissipate, but Qing Xinyue could not stand the feeling of being unable to speak. She took the lead to break the depressing atmosphere and smiled indifferently. There was a hint of bitterness and disappointment in her tone.
Chu Chunqiu looked at the two of them. He felt more and more that the relationship between Lin Feng and Qing Xinyue was not simple. Especially since Qing Xinyue must have a good impression of Lin Feng. Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted like a princess after seeing Lin Feng. She was resentful and had the temper of a princess.
Chu Chunqiu didn't explain because Lin Feng didn't say anything. He didn't want to say anything more. In any case, the truth would definitely be exposed. It all depended on how Lin Feng chose.
"I just want to ask a question. Can I?" Lin Feng pursed his lips into a smile. There was a hint of bitterness in his smile, but at the same time, there was also stubbornness as he stared at Qing Xinyue.
Qing Xinyue averted her gaze slightly. She did not dare to look Lin Feng in the eye, but she nodded silently and said, "Ask away."
"Where is your brother?" Lin Feng stared at Qing Xinyue and asked in a clear voice.
The sudden question caught Qing Xinyue off guard. Her expression changed slightly and her eyes trembled, but she quickly calmed down and said coldly, "Young Master Lin, I don't have a brother. I am alone."
"Do you have any difficulties?" Lin Feng ignored Qing Xinyue's answer and asked in a deep voice.
Qing Xinyue shook her head coldly and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what you're talking about. Alright, I still have something to do. I'll be leaving first."
"Besides, it doesn't seem right for Young Master Lin to come to my room so casually, so you should go to the outer hall to witness my engagement with Qing Lingxuan." After saying that, she walked past Lin Feng. The two of them touched shoulders, but it did not stop Qing Xinyue from leaving.
Qing Xinyue was wearing a taiji robe that was more than three meters tall, a dark red robe, and a golden phoenix crown. Everything looked so elegant. Behind her were four maids dressed in luxurious clothes and two guards. They were all Half-Step Divine Monarch experts.
Qing Xinyue walked past Lin Feng and disappeared into the back hall. From beginning to end, Lin Feng did not say a word, nor did he explain the problem of the rescue to Qing Xinyue.
After a while, Chu Chunqiu walked in front of Lin Feng and asked indifferently, "Why don't you tell me the reason?"
"Do you think she will believe me if I tell her?" Lin Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. He then looked at Chu Chunqiu and asked.
"Hehe, maybe not. But I am still here. After all, I was one of them back then. I can explain it to you." Chu Chunqiu shook his head. He admitted that Qing Xinyue would not believe him if he explained, but she knew that he saved her. That was why he could defend Lin Feng.
"Alright, go to the front hall. I don't need to explain. I will make Qing Lingxuan and the others tell the truth themselves, because it will make it easier for Qing Xinyue to believe." Lin Feng shook his head and turned around to walk towards the front hall. Instead of explaining himself, it was better for Qing Lingxuan to tell the truth himself.
Chu Chunqiu curled her lips and smiled. Lin Feng didn't change at all. When he changed from being willful and stubborn, he was not ambiguous at all.
Chu Chunqiu followed Lin Feng to the front hall. At this moment, the front hall was still in an uproar. More and more people were worried about why the sect master hadn't arrived yet. It was already noon.
"The sect master is here!"
At the same time as the noon arrived, a deafening sound suddenly came from below the platform. Immediately after, everyone saw Qing Xinyue, who was wearing a phoenix coronet, step by step ascend the platform accompanied by a few maids and guards.
Qing Xuduan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she had finally arrived. His plan could finally continue and not be interrupted in advance. The engagement ceremony could begin.
"Let's begin." Qing Xinyue shouted at the old man who was in charge of the ceremony with an expressionless face. She picked up her long red skirt and sat on the Dragon Throne, which was specially reserved for the Sect Master.
The old man nodded respectfully, then turned and called out with a smile: "I declare the engagement ceremony to begin!"
With the old man's shout, the engagement ceremony between Qing Xinyue and Qing Lingxuan officially began. Everything would go according to plan.
Qing Lingxuan stood at the side and could not hold back the excitement and joy in his heart. He wished that he could rush up to the stage and hold Qing Xinyue's hand and carry her into the bridal chamber. He wanted to do it as soon as possible so that there wouldn't be any disturbance.
"What took you so long?" Qing Xuduan looked at the maid behind him and asked with the Sound Transmitting.
The maid looked troubled because Qing Xinyue had warned her not to tell anyone about what had happened in the boudoir. However, Qing Xuduan's pressure was too terrifying. She was just a little maid. How could she resist Qing Xuduan? So she could only say it.
Qing Xuduan's expression changed drastically when he heard the reason. His heart began to beat even faster. Lin Feng? He came?
Qing Xuduan was silent, and then his eyes were fixed on the crowd below the stage. He looked at everyone carefully, and finally his eyes locked onto the two men in black robes, and he almost suffocated.
He was not afraid of Lin Feng, but he was afraid that Lin Feng would cause trouble and disrupt his plans. He already had a guilty conscience in his heart. Lin Feng did not go to Ju Vally to save people for any benefits, and he even got himself involved. It could be said that such a person was the best partner for Qing Xinyue. He also agreed to marry such a person.
However, the plan was far from changing quickly. The Battle Realm was about to open, and Qing Lingchao's true body was about to return, so he had to seize every second to seize power, so he had no choice but to sacrifice Qing Xinyue and even owe Lin Feng. If Lin Feng were to cause trouble at this moment, it would definitely ruin his plan.
At the same time, he thought of a very serious problem. He had clearly told the Taiqing Gate and the Sunlight Empire that no one was allowed to speak of this matter, so why did Lin Feng know about it now?
Suddenly, Qing Xuduan looked at the white-bearded old man in the hall opposite him, who was also Qing Lingchao's clone, and his expression became complicated.
Qing Xinyue was part of his plan, so Qing Lingchao also used Lin Feng as part of his plan.
When Qing Xuduan thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and wet his clothes. If it really was like this, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to make a decision today.
"I'll personally host it. You may leave."
Qing Xuduan could not sit still any longer and directly interrupted the old man who was hosting the engagement ceremony.
Qing Xuduan's actions caused many people to cheer. It was a great honor for the Grand Clan Master to host the marriage of the Clan Master, and at the same time, it was also a grand occasion for the Taiqing Gate.
The old man didn't dare to complain in the slightest. He obediently retreated and gave his seat to Qing Xuduan. Qing Xuduan stood in the middle of the stage and glanced at Qing Lingchao who was opposite him. Qing Lingchao pursed his lips into a smile, his eyes full of confidence.
Compared to Qing Lingchao's indifferent attitude, Qing Xuduan was very anxious at this moment. He looked away and shouted in a deep voice, "This engagement ceremony is a marriage between our sect master and my disciple, Qing Lingxuan, so it is very important to the Taiqing Gate."
"I don't want anyone to spread the news on such an important day. After all, it concerns the rise and fall of the Taiqing Gate."
"So, you guys below the stage, go back." When Qing Xuduan said this, his face darkened. He didn't want Lin Feng to destroy it, but he couldn't directly call out Lin Feng's name. That would expose Lin Feng, so he could only rely on others to chase Lin Feng away.
It was just that his thoughts were too perfect. Not to mention whether Lin Feng would leave or not, even these disciples were unwilling to leave. After listening to his words, they began to discuss incessantly, but no one left the stage.
No one left and Qing Xuduan became even more anxious. Seeing that Qing Xuduan was anxious, Qing Lingchao's face became bright again, as if he had some confidence in winning again.
"May I ask you, why is it good for the safety of the Taiqing Gate that we are leaving? Will we harm the sect if we are in trouble? "
"Yeah, Grand Clan Master, are you worried?"
"It's fine, Grand Clan Master. We will just watch quietly. We will definitely not destroy or cause any trouble. You can rest assured."
...
More and more disciples began to speak, but in turn, they comforted Qing Xuduan not to worry too much, which made it even more difficult for him to continue, but he could not continue. It was not a good sign to ruin the engagement ceremony.
"Alright, that's it. Next, let's invite Qing Lingxuan to the stage." Qing Xuduan nodded and then looked at Qing Lingxuan, signaling him to start the stage. As the main character, he had to work hard for him.
Since Lin Feng was already here, Qing Lingxuan could not afford to lose any momentum. He had to carry this flag and marry Qing Xinyue. How could he not pay a little bit?
"Yes sir!" Qing Lingxuan shouted. He could not suppress the excitement in his heart and quickly ran towards the stage. He could not lose too much of his bearings, so he walked up in the shortest time possible without seeming too hungry.
Standing on the high platform, Qing Lingxuan looked at Qing Xinyue.
"Master, you can come down as well." Qing Lingxuan waved at Qing Xinyue and bowed slightly to show his respect for the master, not for Qing Xinyue.
After all, Qing Xinyue was her female disciple and junior. He only respected the position of sect master because it was extremely sacred and inviolable.
Qing Xinyue walked down from the Dragon Throne with an expressionless face. The maid beside her wanted to help her, but was pushed away by Qing Xinyue with a slap. The maid was so scared that she did not dare to move at all. She could only stay where she was.
Many people saw the scene, but they did not dare to say anything. Even a fool could tell that Qing Xinyue did not want the engagement ceremony, especially with Qing Lingxuan.
Many of the disciples below the stage were also jealous. The goddess in their eyes had been snatched away by Qing Lingxuan just like that? But other than jealousy and hatred, they did not seem to dare to have any other extravagant thoughts.
Qing Xinyue stood opposite to Qing Lingxuan. Qing Lingxuan looked at the goddess of his dreams and the woman he wanted with deep emotions. However, Qing Xinyue remained expressionless. She did not look at Qing Lingxuan, nor did she look at Qing Xuduan.
Qing Xuduan sighed helplessly in his heart. He was afraid that Qing Xinyue hated him, but there was no turning back.2
"Hold hands, the ceremony begins!"
Qing Xuduan shouted in a deep voice and turned around to look at the couple!
The nine Grand Elders also stood up. They all walked down and surrounded the pair of newcomers, using their eyes to witness this scene.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense, and many people's hearts started to beat faster as they waited for this scene.
Lin Feng leaned forward, took a few steps forward, and stood at the front of the stage, watching this scene.
