Chapter 693: Gongming’s Wedding!
On the second day of the first battle between Chan School and Jie School on the Three-Immortal Island, which was filled with clouds...
Apart from Goddess Wudang, the eight disciples of Jie School were gathered there. After drinking a few cups of tea and eating some snacks made by Bi Xiao, they began to talk about the previous battle.
Daoist Duobao slumped back and complained weakly, “This matter is too difficult.”
Bang!
The Goddess of Golden Spirit slapped the stone table and cursed, “Eldest Senior Brother, you really shouldn’t have said those words. You should have fought them directly and had a good fight!”
Duobao shrugged and asked, “Then, what if the two Saints of the Western Sect come?”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit was speechless.
Yun Xiao, who was sitting quietly at the side, pondered for a while and said softly, “Can you think of a way to make the Saint not participate in the expedition of the Saint’s disciples?”
“Impossible.” Zhao Gongming leaned against the stone pillar in the pavilion. “Why did Chan School keep protecting the Western Sect previously? They were waiting here. Second Uncle-Master’s schemes are too deep. We are not his match.”
Qiong Xiao snorted. “Anyway, I think it’s a little too much.”
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit explained gently, “In the end, there are too many immortals. The pressure on Chan School is greater. Otherwise, Second Uncle-Master should be very kind.”
Bi Xiao sighed softly. “If only Uncle-Master can support us.”
“Uncle-Master will only help the side that gains an advantage in the future,” Zhao Gongming said. “We’ve discussed this previously. Uncle-Master’s goal is definitely to protect more Essence Energy in the Dao Sect.”
The seven male immortals fell silent and pondered.
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Let’s not be so pessimistic. It’s not like we can’t survive the Great Tribulation. At most, I’ll go to the Purple Cloud Palace to lie down.”
Boom!
A muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. Zhao Gongming trembled and hurriedly said, “Lying there means endless respect for Grandmaster...”
The faint heavenly might dissipated.
Bi Xiao chuckled. The other immortals also smiled.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit reminded earnestly, “You are no longer like before. The Saint’s sects cannot fight. If you lie in front of Chan School now, they will probably kill you without even blinking.”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and sighed. He said, “I’m just joking. This trick of mine is more suitable for those who are not in the Great Tribulation. It can’t be done now. We have completely fallen out with Chan School.”
Daoist Duobao muttered, “By the way, when will the matter between the two of you be announced to the disciples?”
Master Zhao was stunned. The Goddess of Golden Spirit frowned slightly and lowered her head. Although she tried her best to remain calm, her ears turned red immediately.
Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao looked at each other. The latter blinked slightly and the former immediately understood.
Bi Xiao said, “Brother, I think you’ve gone overboard.”
Zhao Gongming scratched his head and smiled. “This is a little too much... What’s too much? How is it too much?”
“You’re dragging the wedding.” Qiong Xiao spread her hands. “Senior Sister Jin Ling has been your Dao companion for so long, but you’re still hiding it. What does Senior Sister Jin Ling think?”
“Yes, yes!”
Bi Xiao did not give Master Zhao a chance to speak. She continued, “Now that the Great Tribulation is here, there might be an all-out battle at any time. You should give Senior Sister Jin Ling an explanation.”
“Well...”
Yun Xiao frowned slightly and shouted softly, “Nonsense.”
Qiong Xiao, Bi Xiao, Zhao Gongming, and Daoist Duobao’s legs turned weak. Fortunately, they were all sitting. Otherwise, they would have almost collapsed.
Yun Xiao sighed and said, “There are immortals in the sect who have just died because of the Great Tribulation. It’s not the time to talk about this.”
“Senior Sister Yun Xiao, you’re wrong.” The Goddess of Turtle Spirit smiled and said, “I think that everyone in the sect is panicking. Everyone knows that the two Saints of the Western Sect are standing on the side of Chan School. No matter how many people we have, I’m afraid we can’t compare to the power of the two Saints of the Western Sect. Moreover, everyone knows that Jie School does not have a treasure that can suppress luck. The Great Tribulation might be the one that will suffer more damage. I feel that we should use the marriage between Senior Brother Gongming and Senior Sister Jin Ling to cheer everyone up. Let everyone feel that the eldest disciples are not panicking so that they will naturally be more confident.”
Yun Xiao pondered quietly and nodded with a smile. She said, “That’s reasonable.”
“Ahem!”
Daoist Duobao cleared his throat and said, “I’ll say a few words. I feel that Jie School urgently needs a happy occasion now. We can send an invitation to Chan School and try to salvage the relationship between the three sects and find other ways to resolve the situation. Of course, it will probably be difficult. However, we should work hard. That way, we will have a clear conscience. Junior Sister Yun Xiao can’t join Junior Brother Changgeng for the time being. Changgeng is now in charge of the tribulation. Grandmaster and Uncle-Master will definitely not allow this to happen at this juncture.”
Yun Xiao calmly picked up the teacup. If not for the fact that her slender fingers were trembling slightly, one would not be able to tell that she was shy.
Zhao Gongming looked at the Goddess of Golden Spirit. The latter turned her head slightly and whispered, “Why are you looking at me...”
“That, that, ahem!”
Zhao Gongming cleared his throat and stood up. He stared at the Goddess of Golden Spirit. “Jin Ling, is that okay?”
“So wishy-washy!”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit slammed the table and stood up. She stared at Zhao Gongming and said, “If we become Dao companions, we will become Dao companions. If we get married, we will get married. Why are you so afraid? Back then, I did not want to tell anyone about us because I was afraid that Junior Sister Jin Guang would mind. Now that Jin Guang already knows, there is no need to continue hiding. When should we do it?”
Zhao Gongming blinked and his hands trembled. He hurriedly said, “I... I’ll ask Changgeng! I’ll ask him!”
“Why are you asking Changgeng!?!”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit looked a little dissatisfied. “It’s naturally the two of us who make the decisions.”
However, Daoist Duobao said, “We should ask Changgeng about this. He is sitting outside the Great Tribulation and sees everything more comprehensively. We are not in the situation and will inevitably be interfered with by the Heavenly Dao.”
“Hmph.” The Goddess of Golden Spirit seemed to have found a suitable place to step down. She complained, “He’s more concerned about Brother Changgeng than me.”
The immortals could not help but smile.
Yun Xiao said, “Let’s not discuss this matter. It’s better to let Master decide first.”
“Master has been looking forward to it.” Daoist Duobao chuckled. “Why don’t we split up and let Gongming contact Changgeng? Yun Xiao, you and Jin Ling go and ask Master. The few of us will go to various places to talk about the Dao. We will first stabilize the morale of the sect. Then, when we talk about the Dao, we will mention the matter of Gongming and Jin Ling to let everyone be prepared. We will not be too abrupt when we receive the invitation.”
Bi Xiao said happily, “Finally...”
“Write your wedding words at home,” Yun Xiao said calmly.
The smile on Bi Xiao’s face immediately stiffened. She pursed her lips and almost cried.
It was too difficult for her.
...
“Grand wedding? At this juncture?”
In the Green Touring Palace, the Grandmaster of Heaven was stunned when he heard that. Then, he looked up and laughed for a long time.
“Wonderful! Wonderful! My disciple should be so carefree. Great calamities and tribulations are all fleeting clouds. Of course, I will. I will do it openly in the Green Touring Palace! By the way, Yun Xiao, ask Changgeng to write a profound congratulatory speech for me. Remember to do it as soon as possible. The wedding will be held in the Green Touring Palace. Hahahahahaha...”
At the bottom of the stairs, Yun Xiao could not help but shake her head gently. She lowered her head and accepted the order.
After Yun Xiao left, the Grandmaster of Heaven’s laughter gradually stopped. He slowly sat on the top of the steps and exhaled softly.
The Saint did not have an unfathomable expression. He did not like to put on any airs. At that moment, he revealed a rare look of worry. He raised his hand and stroked his long hair. He was stunned as he looked down the stage.
“Master...”
The Grandmaster of Heaven muttered those words. It was unknown what he thought of. His smile was a little bitter and carefree.
In the straw hut by the lake in the Heavenly Courts, Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou sat behind the desk in a daze and looked at the communication jade token in front of him.
That was one of the emergency communication talismans for Brother Zhao. It was more complicated to make, but it was not a valuable item.
What did Brother say just now?
Grand wedding? Grand wedding with Senior Sister Jin Ling in the near future?
The Great God-Conferment Tribulation has already begun. Yet, he only thought of the wedding now, what has he been doing all along?!
No, what are the thoughts of Jie School?
At this moment, Chan School is discussing how to kill the disciples of Jie School. The disciples of Jie School must have slapped their heads and thought, Let’s go for joy! We might get lucky!
That is definitely the case!
Even if he was not at the “crime scene”, he knew that such words would definitely appear.
Li Changshou rubbed his glabella and felt a little helpless.
Many thoughts surfaced in his mind, and he could not help but laugh.
Forget it. Since my brother wants to get married, I have to support him.
This had nothing to do with the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. It would not involve the operation of the Great Tribulation, and the Dao Ancestor would not interfere with his actions.
Is it because I’m not magnanimous enough? Or is it because I’m too magnanimous?
Li Changshou stood up and walked out of the wooden hut with his hands behind his back. He walked towards the chess room.
In the chess room, Ling’e quickly stopped rubbing her cards. She turned to look at her senior brother who was walking in the forest and whispered, “My senior brother is here.”
“So be it.” Zhong Ling muttered. “Open it quickly. Win back what you lost!”
“Um...”
Ling’e pinched her chin and hummed softly. “Senior Brother is smiling. I don’t know why, but I always felt that he was worried when I saw him previously. Now that I look at you, why do I feel that he’s suddenly happy?”
Youqin Xuanya blinked. Could she sense that too?
Why do I feel that Senior Brother Changshou has always been smiling as if no problem in the Three Realms can stump him?
At that moment, Li Changshou’s figure flickered a few times and appeared in the chess room.
“Ling’e, play a song.”
“Ah ~”
Ling’e agreed and immediately stood up. She threw out two paper effigies that turned into young girls and cleaned up the zither and drums at the side.
Li Changshou rolled up his sleeves and smiled. “I’ll play two rounds for you.”
Xiong Lingli, Youqin Xuanya, and Zhong Ling were stunned.
Zhong Ling hummed softly. “You... have completely given up on fighting with the Dao Ancestor?”
“Huh?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I don’t have any conflict with Grandmaster. However, I have to speak on behalf of the living beings sometimes. This is decided by my Great Dao. Because the Heavenly Dao has formed a relatively strong pressure on living beings, my Great Dao has to balance this pressure to obtain the growth of the Dao Realm. I quite admire Grandmaster, to be honest.”
Zhong Ling rolled her eyes and looked at him, as if to say, “As if I’d believe you.”
Youqin Xuanya asked, “Senior Brother, are you not worried about the matter?”
“Although I’m worried, I still have to live my life.” Li Changshou skillfully held up the jade token. Melodious music sounded from the side.
Li Changshou said, “Actually, there’s a joyous occasion. The joyous occasion of Brother Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit, who have been hiding for so long, is finally about to begin. Congratulations.”
Xiong Lingli blinked. “Cousin, when are you getting married?”
Ling’e’s zither playing was instantly interrupted. Youqin Xuanya lowered her head and remained silent. Zhong Ling looked around and kicked Xiong Lingli under the table.
“What do children know!?! Focus on the game!”
Li Changshou smiled and did not reply.
Amidst the crashing sounds, the chess room gradually regained its former laughter.
Ling’e played the zither at the side. She also brewed tea and warmed wine. She kept getting busy, but she was rather happy.
At the same time, Zhao Gongming had asked Li Changshou when it was suitable for him to hold a wedding in the near future. Li Changshou did not give him an answer. He only said that he would help him ask when it was an auspicious day later.
In fact, in the Primordial World, there were only blessings and dangers in the mortal world.
The operation of the Heavenly Dao and the teleportation of the constellations had an internal law. It was not related to luck. Only a Connate mystical ability like Bai Ze could predict luck or see through divination.
However, who was Li Changshou?
A god of authority in the Heavenly Courts!
He chose a day that looked good and went to the Heavenly Courts’ Star Division. With a wave of his hand, he decided that this day was the universal auspicious day of the Primordial World. It was suitable for marriage and was free of storms.
It was just a small authority. It was not worth mentioning.
Li Changshou’s main body had come out, so he naturally had to do all kinds of things at once.
He specially summoned Ao Yi and wrote the auspicious day on the red paper. He asked Ao Yi, a disciple of Jie School, to deliver a letter.
He then went to the Hall of Marriage and communicated with Elder Moon about how to handle the marriage of a Connate mighty figure.
As part of the oldest group of immortals in the Heavenly Courts, Elder Moon naturally had some skills. When he heard that Lord Taibai Jinxing’s brother, Zhao Gongming, was going to get married, he immediately took out his trump card.
The clay figurines.
A pair of marriage clay figurines were set up. Although they did not have any Heavenly Dao restrictions, Elder Moon still tied a beautiful knot for them.
It was for luck.
Li Changshou then went to the Lingxiao Hall and mentioned the matter to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor, who had not appeared recently, was immediately interested. He smiled and said, “This Jie School has really impressed me. Now that the Great Tribulation is here, you can still be so carefree.”
“That’s probably how it is.”
“Changgeng, which gift should I give Gongming?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, what does the Heavenly Courts’ discomfort mean? If you want to send a congratulatory gift, you should send one or two fairies through the Jade Pool. It’s not appropriate for the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to appear.”
The Jade Emperor thought carefully for a while. “Changgeng is right. By the way, Changgeng, can you stay in the Heavenly Courts for another hundred years after the Great Tribulation?”
“This...” Li Changshou bowed and said,” Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty. However, I can’t say for sure what will happen next. ”
“Ah.” The Jade Emperor shook his head. “Forget it. I can’t force you. If you have any questions or questions, you can look for me at any time.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor looked at each other. The monarch and minister smiled similarly.
Everything was unspoken.
Speaking of the wedding, he had to prepare a gift.
Brother Gongming was too deeply tied to him. If he gave him a useless gift, it would definitely be a waste. However, if he gave an overly expensive gift, it would seem rather tacky.
However, what gift could he give Zhao Gongming?
The Great Tribulation was not destroyed?
He could consider that. Although it was challenging, it was too abstract.
There is such a perfect congratulatory gift in the world. It would appear that their friendship is deep, but it would not be too tacky. It would also be beneficial to his brother.
The escape technique that I’m best at?
Is this meant to let Brother Zhao Gongming escape the restrictions of marriage and hide far away?
Give him treasures?
He had already given Li Jing a Cosmic Ruler. There were not many treasures that could benefit his brother. For example, the pagoda that he was prepared to give Li Jing in the future.
He could not give away Li Tianwang’s pagoda. If any strange karma was involved, he would harm his brother.
Li Changshou originally wanted to change his mind and give the Goddess of Golden Spirit a congratulatory gift that would make her happy. However, he turned his head and realized that Ling’e had already prepared a beautiful set of clothes for her.
He could not compete with his junior sister for creativity.
Eh? I got it.
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of something good.
He could refine some pills and go to the five farms to ask for two ginseng fruits.
Yes, two pots of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills were the most practical.
He could also consider getting a more impressive mount for his brother. It would also be more imposing to fetch the bride.
If he wanted to show his sincerity, he could even make a wooden toy for his brother to use in the future...
At the same time, Ao Yi rushed to Golden Ao Island at lightning speed. After entering the Green Touring Palace and finding Zhao Gongming, he handed the red paper over.
Zhao Gongming took it and looked at it. His hands trembled and he was extremely happy.
“Yes! Yes! The wedding date is set!”
The immortals of Jie School in the Green Touring Palace were shocked.
