Ouyang Hao felt somewhat speechless. At a glance, it was clear that the two women had not grasped the priorities and sequence of events. After all, Yun Tianmo was a member of the royal family, and his marriage was not something that could be handled casually. If he remembered correctly, the first step was to obtain the approval of the Cloud Kingdom Ruler, followed by issuing a national decree to announce it to the entire country, and only then could preparations for various matters begin. Moreover, the financial background of the bride's family would need to be thoroughly investigated. Although it could be completed in a day, it still had to be done.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Hao seemed to recall something and decided to ignore the excited duo. He turned to Yun Tianmo and asked, "Have you already discussed this with your father, or have you completed all the procedures without us knowing?" If it was the former, then it could be said that the Cloud Kingdom Ruler truly cared for Yun Tianmo, willing to compromise on such matters and would not make things difficult for his daughter in the future. But if it was the latter, when exactly did he start planning all of this?
Despite the brightly lit hall and the warm night, Ouyang Hao inexplicably felt goosebumps rise on his skin and shivered slightly.
Indeed, Yun Tianmo did not seem surprised by his question; instead, he appeared to think that Ouyang Hao was late in considering this issue.
"Both," Yun Tianmo replied as he set down his chopsticks. He realized that although this meal held significant meaning, it was not meant for men like him or Ouyang Hao. The ones truly free to eat were likely those women who were listening intently.
"I had already communicated with my father before the Exiled Nation's Sovereign issued the national decree. As for all the procedures..." Yun Tianmo paused briefly, glancing at Ouyang Zixin, who was looking at him in confusion, and smirked before continuing...
"Naturally, I took care of everything myself; there will absolutely be no delays!" Yun Tianmo's words were interrupted.
A man entered from outside, tall and imposing, who bore some resemblance to Yun Tianmo at first glance. This was none other than Yun Tianying, who had not shown his face since their first meeting at the Daoist residence; everyone thought he was recuperating but did not expect him to be busy on behalf of Yun Tianmo.
After entering, Yun Tianying greeted Ouyang Hao and Bai Su with a respectful gesture typical of a younger generation and smiled, "I apologize for intruding. I hope you won't hold it against me."
Seeing that it was his future son-in-law's brother, Bai Su quickly smiled back and said, "No need to mention that; we are all family here. Lin Ma, please add another set of chopsticks."
"Ouyang Xuan need not worry. All procedures are absolutely in order; I personally managed everything at the Capital of the Departed Nation's residence. Any prince of Cloud Nation can choose a residence among the Three Kingdoms at will; it can serve as either a future home or a place to stay while traveling. This residence is recorded in Cloud Nation," Yun Tianying explained with a smile. Ouyang Hao's concerns were not unwarranted; royal marriages were indeed complicated for others. However, it was different for Yun Tianmo as he was his father's most beloved son. What he requested would surely not be denied.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Hao felt somewhat reassured. After all, if Yun Tianmo acted recklessly and married his daughter only to find she wasn't recognized in Cloud Nation later on, they would suffer losses. "In that case, I can rest easy."
Yun Tianying chuckled lightly upon hearing this. He picked up a wine jug and filled the cups in front of Ouyang Hao and himself before raising his cup and saying, "Since my father is not here, as an older brother I represent the Yun family of Cloud Nation in thanking our in-laws for raising such a wonderful daughter."
"Well said," Ouyang Hao clinked cups with him and drank it all down. "I thought you were here to participate in the competition; I didn't expect..."
"I am here to participate in the competition as well." The preparations for Yun Tianmo's marriage did not conflict with the competition.
"However, your body..." Ouyang Hao frowned. Everyone in the Yuhai Continent probably knew about the Seventh Prince of Cloud Nation. Although the poison had been expelled from his body, he still felt that participating in the competition was somewhat forced.
"Speaking of this, I have to thank my future Sister-in-law." Saying this, Yun Tianying poured another cup and raised it toward Ouyang Zixin with a smile, "Not only have you helped me, but you are also about to become part of our family. As your brother, I don't have anything special to express my gratitude, so I toast to you!"
With that, he downed his drink.
Ouyang Zixin was still a bit shy; she lifted her cup and turned slightly to drink as well, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.
"Sister-in-law, for this second cup, I toast to both of you, wishing you a harmonious marriage and early blessings." With that, he drank another cup.
Yun Tianmo graciously accepted the toast. Ouyang Zixin had been shy at first, but after finishing one cup, she gained some courage. She lifted her cup and looked at Yun Tianmo with a happy smile, and they both drank from their cups.
"Such a lively gathering; why wasn't I called?" Just as they set their cups down, someone arrived at the door.
Rong Yi, dressed in white, stood out in the night. Normally, he would have been noticed right away, but today everyone’s attention was focused on the two soon-to-be-married individuals, so he went unnoticed.
"Lin Ma..."
"Madam, everything is ready." Lin Ma smiled and pointed to the table where new bowls and chopsticks were already set up.
"Susu, your daughter is getting married; are you reluctant?" Rong Yi sat down and ignored Ouyang Hao's presence, directly speaking to Bai Su.
Bai Su nodded and smiled, "It's natural to feel reluctant, but I'm also happy."
"As long as you're happy! I toast to you; now I have another daughter-in-law." Rong Yi raised his cup and drank with Bai Su.
"Uncle!" Ouyang Zixin playfully scolded, "As if you really have a daughter-in-law; now there's one more!"
Rong Yi was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. "You little girl! You need to change how you address me; no more 'uncle'—you should call me master!"
Immediately, Yun Tianmo raised a cup with Ouyang Zixin to Rong Yi, showing respect as juniors.
"I don't know what to say, but I hope you both will work together harmoniously in the future, like the harmonious sounds of a zither and lute," said Rong Yi as he took out a pair of jade pendants from his pocket. They looked quite valuable, and he presented one to each of them as a congratulatory gift.
"Thank you, Uncle."
"Thank you, Master."
Bai Su watched from the side, feeling delighted, her eyes nearly squinting with joy, as if it were the day of her daughter's wedding.
"You guys are not being fair!" Ning Zhiyuan walked in from outside, holding a jar. He first greeted Ouyang Hao and his wife, then Master Rong, and finally turned to the young people, saying, "I specially prepared some fine wine for you all, yet you didn't call me for the meal! That's not fair, not fair at all!"
"Punish him with wine!"
"Yes, punish him with wine!"
It was unclear who started the cheer, but the atmosphere grew increasingly lively as everyone clinked glasses and enjoyed themselves.
The scene resembled a moment from a romantic drama where more and more people joined in...
That night, Ouyang Zixin fell asleep with a smile on her face, and when she woke up, her lips were still curled upward.
