"Right, now that everyone knows what's going on, let's get ready quickly. It's getting dark soon, so let's prepare for the wedding. Miss Yuan and Shi'er, you don't need to leave. Just change into your wedding attire in the side room of this hall. I've prepared everything for you. Hurry and change, the sooner the better. I can see the ghost beings are getting impatient." I didn't expect the Pottery Sect Leader to take it seriously, so I stopped asking and my expression became worried again.
"Okay." Seeing this, I also understood the urgency of the situation and nodded quickly. I didn't drag my feet either. I had a little resistance to marrying Taoshi, but now that I know he is actually my son's father, that little resistance is gone.
Actually, there is a saying that Pottery Sect Leader said that is really true, that is, taoshi and I are really destined to be together. Otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped from the entrance of Shen Family Old Mansion and avoided marrying Qiao Yi. But in the end, I still ended up marrying him after all the twists and turns. Although my name has changed, I am still the same person.
With a somewhat complicated feeling, accompanied by taoshi, I arrived at the side room. As soon as we arrived, I asked the female disciple of Mount Maoshan who followed us to leave first. Then, under taoshi's puzzled gaze, I pulled him over and whispered the location of Shen Family Old Mansion into his ear. I was afraid that if I didn't tell him now, if something were to happen tonight and I were to be separated from taoshi again, he wouldn't be able to find his true self.
"Miss Yuan, thank you so much. It looks like I owe you another big favor. Taoshi listened carefully and wrote down the address I told him, then sincerely thanked me.
I casually joked, " Taoshi, we are about to get married, why are you still being so polite to me? We will be family in the future, no need to thank each other. Consider the 200,000 as my betrothal gift. I won't pay you back."
"Sure, can I call you Yuan Yuan? Always being called Miss Yuan feels a bit formal. As for the 200,000 yuan as the betrothal gift, it's too little. After tonight, I will prepare a new one." The worry on Taoshi's face disappeared temporarily, and he once again had a sunny expression. It seems he really wants to marry me.
"Sure, I'd like to see what betrothal gifts you will give me. But Taoshi, shouldn't you be leaving? Mr. Tao at your house wants us to change into our wedding attire as soon as possible," I teased mischievously, winking at Taoshi.
I didn't expect that just a casual smile would leave taoshi in a daze. It wasn't until I walked over and shook his arm that he snapped out of it. Then he hurriedly walked out of the room and went to the next room to change into his wedding attire.
After taoshi left, I went to the door and called in the two female disciples to help me change into the wedding attire, which is an ancient costume that is very elaborate and I have no idea how to put it on.
Actually, when I first came in, I saw the gorgeous wedding attire at a glance, and I really liked it in my heart. But as soon as I thought that the ghost beings would appear later, I didn't feel like enjoying it.
I let the two sisters dress me up and put on bridal makeup for me, and by then the sky had darkened.
During the period, taoshi came twice, and each time he came in, he stared at me as if he were stunned, which made me very uncomfortable. So in the end, I ordered him not to come until the time to pay respects at the ancestral hall. Seeing this, taoshi didn't dare to say anything, and left with a look of grievance.
I felt a bit sorry, but considering that it was already dark, I couldn't delay getting ready and going to the ancestral hall. Only when the ghost beings see that I am truly paying respects with taoshi can it make a mother happy, and then she will let us off the hook. Otherwise, the consequences will not only be Mount Maoshan, but I will also be finished. Now that Arrogant is lost again, using blood sea once will cost half a life. I won't use it until it's absolutely necessary.
Finally finished the painting. Looking at myself in the mirror, I feel like I don't recognize myself, very bright and beautiful. Our wedding attire is all in the style of ancient costume. I imagine this is how the Hermit Sect is, except the tall phoenix crown is too heavy. It seems to be made of real gold, with no moisture at all. It almost broke my neck, but for the sake of survival, I don't care about these things.
During this time, Mount Maoshan has been unusually calm, with no surprises. Only occasionally, when I was putting on makeup, I could feel a cold wind around me. I guess it must be those ghost beings watching to see if I, as their daughter-in-law, meet their approval. Since they haven't tried to kill me, it seems I have won their favor. I secretly feel a little proud of my speculation.
I didn't expect that, just as I was about to cover the last step with the Red envelope., something unexpected happened. Those two female disciples couldn't pick up the cover, as if it were stuck to the table and wouldn't budge no matter how hard they tried.
"Miss Yuan, it seems like there's something wrong with this cover. Let's go find the sect leader and have them take a look." Seeing this, the two Mount Maoshan female disciples suddenly seemed to sense something, their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly ran off, leaving me shivering here alone.
"Girl, don't be afraid. As the daughter-in-law of the old lady, you can't be so timid. Come, let me comb your hair. One stroke to the head, no need to worry about wealth and honor. Two strokes to the head, no pain and no worries. Three strokes to the head, more children and a long life. And then to the end, equal in status and harmonious in marriage. Two strokes to the end, soaring together like wings. Three strokes to the end, forever united in heart. With a beginning and an end, a lifetime of wealth and honor." Just when I was feeling extremely scared, the wooden comb on the dressing table suddenly flew up and combed through my bangs. It didn't mess up my hairstyle and at the same time, it was as if I could only hear the sound and not see anyone, which made me too scared to move, so I just let the comb slowly comb through my bangs.
"It's done, you can put on the head covering now." The voice sounded again, but it was surprisingly soothing, making me instantly forget my fear.
After covering my head with a blanket, the door of the room opened by itself without any wind. At that moment, taoshi hurriedly rushed over and saw me with the blanket on my head. He quickly came over, grabbed my hand, and asked, "Are you okay, Yuan Yuan?"
Afraid that taoshi would worry, I casually lifted the blanket and smiled, saying, "I'm fine. Mom just came over and helped me comb my hair. Don't worry, Mom won't harm us."
When I told him that I had seen his mother, taoshi suddenly knelt down with a thud and earnestly requested, "Mother, would it be possible for Shier to see you?"
But there was no movement in the room for a long time, as if the ghost beings who had just combed my hair had never appeared. Even the chilly wind had disappeared.
"Daughter, aren't you here to see Shi'er? Why haven't you seen him when he's right here?" Taoshi said with some sadness, unable to imagine that the sunny young man could look so melancholic, like a melancholic prince.
"Shi'er, it's not that I don't want to see you. I want to wait for the right moment to meet you and your parents-in-law. I will give those bastards at Mount Maoshan a big surprise." At that moment, a cold wind blew in. What puzzled me was that, as someone who can usually see ghosts, I didn't see Taoshi's mother today. It seems that Taoshi's mother, Gui Li, is quite something. When she doesn't want you to see her, even if you have the ability to see spirits, it's useless.
After taoshi listened to his ghost mother's words, his face immediately turned pale. After some thought, he pleaded, "Mother, for my sake, can you spare the members of the Maoshan School? Even if you take me with you, my father has made many mistakes, but they don't deserve to die. What's more, the people of Mount Maoshan are innocent. You are a magnanimous person, please spare them."
Unfortunately, no matter how much taoshi said, it was of no use. The cold air in the atmosphere disappeared once again, indicating that his ghost mother had no intention of sparing the people of Mount Maoshan.
"Taoshi, why don't you ask Potter's hands to use magic to send all the people from Maoshan School out of Mount Maoshan, and make sure to send them out separately. I don't think your mother has time to deal with those meaningless people, right?" I suggested after some thought.
"No, it's too late. Mount Maoshan has been sealed off after you entered the mountain. We can only enter, but not leave. We simply can't break that seal," Taoshi shook his head.
"We can only take it one step at a time. Hopefully your mother won't be too harsh and turn Mount Maoshan into a mountain of blood," I said uneasily.
"That's all we can do. Come, let me lead you to the altar," taoshi came over, carefully covered my head, and led me towards the main hall.
With an uneasy heart, I followed taoshi into the grand hall. Now my eyes are covered by a veil, and I can't see the path ahead. I can only sense details like stepping over braziers, which are customs from ancient times for marrying a bride. It seems that this Hermit Sect still continues ancient rituals.
The sound of suona also rang loudly, making my eardrums ache. It should have been a joyous occasion, but amidst this festive music, I felt fear, like the oppressive feeling before darkness descends.
The Emcee who hosted our wedding spoke with a trembling voice, as if he was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would be doomed.
Fortunately, Pottery Sect Leader couldn't stand it and scolded him, so he cleared his throat and spoke normally. Then I heard the Emcee loudly announce that the wedding ceremony was officially beginning. After the first bow to heaven and earth, and the second bow to the parents, during this second bow, I heard the responses coming from Pottery Sect Leader and Madame Tao, not the voices of the ghost beings that I had heard. Could it be that when the ghost beings mentioned serving tea, it wasn't during this bow, but the next morning? I silently thought to myself, it seems that today will definitely pass peacefully.
Just as the couple was about to complete the bowing ceremony, a sudden "meow—meow" broke the silence of the night.
Why does this meow sound so familiar, as if it's Arrogant? Excited, I couldn't care too much, and immediately took off the cover to look. Sure enough, Arrogant was walking towards me, and behind it was Black Hegemon, who now seemed to be following Arrogant like a little brother. This made me marvel inwardly.
