Chapter 415: Gu Heâs Grand Wedding!
âYanran, after Master and Mistress get married, the responsibility on your shoulders will become even heavier. Youâll have to manage the Yunlan Sect, such a large organization!â Xiao Yixian suddenly remarked.
âThereâs no other way. Once Mistress and Master are married, they probably wonât have much interest in running the sect anymore. I have no choice but to take on this burden!â Nalan Yanran replied, her tone laced with helplessness. Her expression revealed that she wasnât particularly fond of assuming the Yunlan Sectâs leadership.
âXianâer is the ruler of the Chu Yun Empire, yet she manages such a vast empire effortlessly. Yanran, you could try following her example!â Liu Ling suggested after listening to the conversation between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yixian.
Hearing Liu Lingâs suggestion, Nalan Yanran fell silent.
âSenior Brother, Yunlan Sect was entrusted to Yanran by Mistress. It canât be treated as casually as I handle matters in the Chu Yun Empire,â Xiao Yixian explained, shaking her head.
âI see⦠In that case, I have another suggestion!â
After understanding the situation, Liu Ling continued, âSince Mistress has passed the position of Sect Leader to you, Yanran, why donât you take on an apprentice yourself? Then, in the future, you can pass the position down to your apprentice. Wouldnât that solve everything perfectly?â
âUh⦠Senior Brother, your suggestion will take at least another ten years to implement.â
Hearing Liu Lingâs second suggestion, Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin all rolled their eyes simultaneously.
âWell then, Senior Brother, what about your plans? Are you going to stay in the Nine-Colored Valley to cultivate, or will you head back to Stone Desert City first?â Nalan Yanran suddenly asked.
Liu Ling pondered for a moment before hesitantly replying, âIâll visit Stone Desert City first. I promised my brothers there that Iâd return. As for the future⦠I plan to establish the greatest mercenary group.â
âThe greatest mercenary group? Are you talking about the biggest in the Jia Ma Empire, or do you mean the strongest mercenary group across the entire continent?â
Xiao Yixian asked softly, a hint of amusement flickering in her eyes.
âSo Senior Brother has such lofty ambitions!â Nalan Yanran and Qing Lin immediately turned into adoring fans, looking at Liu Ling with admiration.
âNothingâs set in stone yet. Donât set your expectations so high!â Liu Ling waved his hand awkwardly, embarrassed by their reactions.
âHaha, Senior Brother, weâre serious. You must believe in yourself!â
Though Xiao Yixian was laughing, her expression was earnest.
âYes, Senior Brother, I feel that with Masterâs guidance, and if we work hard, we might all stand at the pinnacle of this continent someday!â Nalan Yanran nodded in agreement with Xiao Yixian.
Afterward, Qing Lin also spoke up, âThatâs right, Senior Brother. I believe in you. You can do it!â
âWell, since you all believe in me so much, Iâll strive toward this goal!â Liu Ling exhaled lightly and smiled.
âSenior Sister Xianâer, weâve talked so much, but you havenât mentioned your plans. I really hope you wonât always stay in the Chu Yun Empireâitâs so far from Jia Maâs imperial capitalâ¦â Nalan Yanran looked toward Xiao Yixian with a hint of reluctance.
âWell⦠Yanran, once our strength improves, this distance wonât seem so great. Perhaps in the future, weâll be able to travel between the two nations within hours!â Xiao Yixian responded nonchalantly.
âBesides, Iâm just a hands-off overseer in the Chu Yun Empire. I leave the minor issues to Hua An and the others to handle. Iâll spend most of my time in the Yunlan Sect.â
âThatâs great! In that case, our sisterhood will remain intact, and we can always be together!â Nalan Yanran said happily, nodding at Xiao Yixianâs reply.
âWhat about me, Senior Brother, Senior Sister? Why isnât anyone asking about my plans?â
At that moment, Qing Lin rested her chin on her hand, looking a little aggrieved, and said softly, âWhat about me? No oneâs asking about my plans.â
âYou, Qing Lin? Well then, tell usâwhat are your plans?â Liu Ling turned his head to look at Qing Lin with a light smile.
âSenior Brother, I⦠I think⦠I havenât quite figured it out yet!â Under the watchful gazes of Liu Ling and the others, Qing Lin hesitated for a long time but couldnât articulate any clear intentions.
âStop worrying about it. For the next two years, you should stay in the Nine-Colored Valley to cultivate. After two years, only then will Master feel reassuredâ¦â
âSenior Brother, youâre lying! Thatâs not what you said last time!â
Interrupting Liu Lingâs words, Qing Lin puffed her cheeks in annoyance, then stood up and ran out of the pavilion in a huff.
Before long, the day of Gu He and Yun Yunâs grand wedding arrived.
On this day, Yunlan Sect was bustling with guests coming and going, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
As the sun climbed higher into the sky, the celebratory mood across Yunlan Mountain reached its peak. Countless cheers and laughter merged into a single, joyful roar that seemed to pierce the heavens.
In front of Yunlan Sectâs grand hall, the enormous square was lavishly decorated in vibrant red. Disciples of Yunlan Sect, dressed in red ceremonial robes, moved about like waves of crimson, filling the scene with exuberance.
At the center of the square stood a grand wedding stage, long since completed. At the top of the stage, Yun Shan sat proudly in the seat of honor, his face full of smiles as he chatted with the many guests who had come to celebrate.
Below the stage, Gu He was already dressed in a bright red ceremonial robe. Today, he appeared particularly refreshed, his demeanor cheerful as countless well-wishers surrounded him, raising their cups to offer congratulations.
âMr. Gu He, congratulations! Wishing you and Sect Master Yun Yun many children soon!â
âMr. Gu He, may you and Sect Master Yun Yun grow old together in happiness!â
The guests in attendance today encompassed nearly 70 to 80 percent of the Jia Ma Empireâs most influential figures. Among them were Princess Yao Ye and Princess Yao Yue of the royal family, members of the three great families of the imperial capital, and over a hundred alchemists from the Alchemist Association.
âThe bride has arrived!â
Amid the endless chorus of congratulations, a clear voice suddenly rang out across the bustling square. Instantly, the other voices quieted, and all eyes turned toward the source of the announcement.
There, a stunning figure clad in a red wedding dress appeared. Her face was completely veiled by a curtain of red beads, obscuring her features. Surrounded by dozens of beautiful attendants, she moved gracefully toward the wedding stage, like the moon surrounded by stars.
âMaster, the bride is here! Why donât you hurry up and go greet her?â Liu Ling, standing beside Gu He, teased in a mockingly urgent tone as he pointed in the brideâs direction.
Hearing Liu Lingâs words, Gu He smiled, nodding politely to the guests offering their blessings. Then he quickly strode toward Yun Yun.
âMaster, Mistress looks so beautiful today. Are you itching to lift her veil already?â
