Duoyue, Tong Yao and Mr. Bao all arrived seven days before the wedding. Duoyue and Nalan Lianyue were also senior sisters. They had not seen each other for many years, but they were no less friendly.
Duo Yue is much older than Nalan Lian Yue, and she was the senior sister back then.
In Nalan Lingyue's yard, Duoyue looked at every plant and tree in the yard, and the furnishings in the house showed her comfort and ease.
"It seems that you have lived a good life these years!" Duoyue said.
"Fortunately, at least I have never regretted it!" Nalan said.
Duo Yue twitched her lips. This was the biggest difference. She couldn't understand Nalan Lian Yue's choice at all back then, but now that she has left Tianyi Clan, she finally understands Nalan Lian Yue's choice.
"I'm so much older than you, but I can't see as clearly as you!" Duoyue said sadly.
"Senior sister is simple-minded and has never thought about it deliberately. But we are quick-tempered and always like to think too much when things happen." Nalan Lianyue sighed. If it weren't for being heartbroken, who would choose to leave Xuan Xuan at such a good age?
Door!
"You have a good daughter!" Duoyue said with envy.
"She is our pride!" Nalan Lianyue said softly, "But I still hope she can live a happy life."
"Do you think this mortal will be her happiness?"
"She chose it herself, she should know."
"That's good." Duoyue took a sip of tea and said, "Qing'er, she always knows what she wants."
"Yeah..." Nalan Lianyue was a little lonely. She had a daughter whom she didn't have to worry about at all. She had almost never felt her daughter's attachment.
At the same time, Yan Qingzheng was not as busy as other brides. She was enjoying tea with Jin Mang, Yunli and Tong Yao in the courtyard.
Yan Qing was asking Jin Mang: "Senior Brother Baili is here, sister, don't you want to see him?"
Jin Mang held the tea cup with both hands and blew on it. Hearing this, he just raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "See what he did."
Yan Qingzheng stopped mentioning it. Some things cannot be accomplished overnight. They require a long time of subtlety and a gradual change of mind.
Besides, Prissy may not really be able to calm down immediately, and maybe his enthusiasm will gradually fade.
Just let everything leave to time.
She turned to Tong Yao again.
"You don't plan to see the emperor again in the future? He is still thinking about you." She was still not used to calling Tong Yao "Tong Aunt", but later she agreed to treat her as her equal.
When Tong Yao heard the mention of the emperor, she shrank back habitually. This was already a conditioned reflex.
"Forget it, I can hide as far away as I can!" Tong Yao quickly shook her head and warned: "Tell your father not to mention my return to the emperor."
"Father, you can tell me yourself. You two are friends, so why are you calling me a bride to be married?" Yan Qingzheng was not the mouthpiece.
"Alas!" Tong Yao looked dejected and full of masculinity. After all, she had been pretending to be a man for more than 20 years, and some habits couldn't be changed even after a while.
"Because I calculated your destiny for you, your father and mother really took care of me!" Tong Yao was still frightened when she thought about it.
Yan Qing was laughing happily. At first, he was really angry at the stupid things she did when she was the Imperial Preceptor. But now that times have changed, she can look at the past peacefully.
For those past events, just laugh it off.
"Don't tell me, I guess my parents are a little uncomfortable seeing you." Yan Qing was remembering the dumbfounded look of Tong Yao's parents when they introduced her to their family when they first came back.
They had been so familiar before, but when the man turned into a woman, they couldn't accept it, especially since Yan Xi had moved the time he had a cup of tea several times.
Tong Yao smiled bitterly.
"You don't want to see your apprentice anymore?"
"The relationship between master and disciple is over, so it's better not to disturb him."
Yan Qing was looking at her and said: "Sometimes fate can be renewed even if it breaks. Don't talk too much."
"Okay, don't worry about me. Just worry about yourself." Tong Yao scratched her head impatiently and quickly changed the subject.
"What do I have to worry about? The wedding process is arranged by the etiquette department. The wedding dress and dowry are all ready-made." Yan Qing spread his hands.
Jin Mang smiled mysteriously: "Maybe there will be different links!"
Yan Qingzheng looked at her and shook his head: "If you know whether you tell me or not, I will pretend that I don't know."
Jin Mang suddenly realized that Yan Qingzheng was so smart that she could guess something from just a few words.
"You know everything in advance, how boring it is!"
"How could it be possible? When I think about that elm knot still thinking about me, I feel very happy and looking forward to it every day!"
Jin Mang sighed: "It sounds like you are just showing off."
Yan Qing was smiling unscrupulously: "I'm just showing off!"
Jin Mang stood up and said, "I can't stay any longer. I'm going out to get some fresh air."
After she left, Yan Qingzheng said to Tong Yao: "Your Majesty, if you make up your mind never to look back, I will tell my father and let him persuade the Emperor."
Tong Yao blinked and asked, "What are you trying to persuade?"
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "I advise the emperor not to worry about you anymore."
Isn't Tong Yao worried about this?
"No need. As long as you don't take the initiative to mention me, the emperor will forget me soon." Tong Yao chuckled: "You don't know the emperor very well. He has never been a long-term person."
"Really?" Yan Qingzheng really didn't know the emperor very well, and thought that there were always similarities between father and son.
"The prince is different from him." Tong Yao said immediately.
When talking about the prince, it is inevitable to mention Yan Shuangyu. Tong Yao finally said sincerely: "I'm sorry about your cousin."
"Forget it, fate is fate." Yan Qingzheng has also thought about it over the years. Not everyone can change their fate. She has the talent to defy fate, but it does not mean that Yan Shuangyu also has this ability.
Seeing that she really didn't care anymore, Tong Yao felt better.
After a while, Duo Yue came, and Tong Yao left with an excuse.
"I heard that Prissy is here?" Duoyue asked.
"Yes, but send it to Rong Che."
"He should know something, but he just doesn't know how Tianyimen explained it to him." Duoyue was a little worried.
"No matter what they said, Senior Brother Baili is no longer what he used to be. He can think for himself now." Yan Qing paused and commented: "Sure enough, people will grow and learn to analyze after they have experienced more.
, see with your own eyes instead of hearing everything from hearsay.”
Duo Yue nodded: "I haven't taken much care of this child. I really don't know how much he has changed now."
"Just because he comes here, you know that Tianyimen can no longer control him at will."
"That's good..." Duo Yue said and let out a long sigh.
Yan Qing remembered that he had not told his master about establishing a sect, so he mentioned his plan.
"Establish a new sect?" Duo Yue was stunned. She had never thought of such a thing.
"Well, establish an inclusive and pure Xuanmen, a sect that truly pursues the great path and deserves people's respect!"
Duo Yue looked at the little apprentice in front of her with her mouth open, feeling that she was inferior to her after all!
"Okay, if one day, master supports you." What else could she say.
After a long while, Duo Yue suddenly asked: "Do you think the first ascended person in thousands of years will appear on your wedding day?"
Yan Qingzheng smiled softly and narrowed his eyes.
"You don't think highly of him?" Duoyue asked the old man.
"To be honest, although the senior's cultivation level is good, but... his background is too poor, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive the eighty-one thunders." Yan Qing was not very optimistic.
"But I can help you one day."
"I will help, but I won't do my best."
Duo Yue thought for a while and nodded: "That's true."
"Moreover, no one has encountered the thunder catastrophe of ascension in thousands of years. I have no idea what kind of power it is and how to resist it. It is difficult to succeed in ascension in just one try!"
"But they are full of confidence."
"Reality will always pour cold water on their fanatical hearts."
"Are you... hiding something?" Duo Yue asked, thinking that Yan Qing was hiding some conditions regarding the ascension passage.
"No, it's just that I've read many records from thousands of years ago. If they have the intention to read the records and make more preparations, they should be fine. But... when Bailixi came, she kept talking.
What I mean is that no one thought of learning from the experience of the predecessors. They only thought that the reason why they could not ascend for thousands of years was because the ascension channel was closed, so they thought that as long as the channel was opened, those who had realized the heavenly tribulation could ascend!"
Duo Yue saw that Yan Qingzheng's face was getting worse and worse, and he knew that her feelings towards Tianyimen were getting worse and worse, so he took the initiative to change the topic.
"I hope it will be a nice sunny day on your wedding day."
"It doesn't matter. If there is rain, it will disperse."
Yan Qingzheng said domineeringly.
Duo Yue laughed and did not take his words seriously. After all, although cultivators are said to be able to change clouds and rain, who has the time to go and make trouble with God?
"Are you going to live in Miao'er Mountain Villa after you get married?"
"We won't go there for the time being, because it will take some time to build there. We plan to live in the capital for two years."
Duo Yue nodded: "Then after your wedding, I will continue to travel around."
"Okay, master, just go and relax."
Duo Yue smiled, but the smile was not so bright.
Her feelings for Tianyimen could not be let go overnight. Although she had no regrets about betraying her master, she was still sad after all.
Yan Qingzheng didn't have any good ideas for this. She hesitated over and over again, and after many struggles, she slowly became firm in her mind.
As the saying goes, everything always requires a process.
Jin Mang calmed down his aura and walked aimlessly on the streets of the capital. This was the busiest area, with people coming and going from time to time.
She didn't let go of her spiritual thoughts. At this moment, she just wanted to be like an ordinary person, walking around, looking at the groceries on the stalls, and going to the teahouse to listen to music.
After just finishing listening to a storyteller, she stood up and left the teahouse, when suddenly someone called her name.
