Chapter 413: The Half-Month Promise!
"Master is marrying Martial Aunt! That’s wonderful!"
"We’ve been waiting for this day for so long!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Liu Ling, Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Qing Lin all had joyous expressions on their faces.
Held tightly by Gu He’s hand, Yun Yun's rosy complexion deepened, the blush spreading to the base of her ears. She slightly opened her mouth and said, "Honored seniors, please proceed to the sect's main hall shortly. I will have arrangements made for a banquet, and my master will emerge from seclusion then as well..."
"My master? Yun Yun must mean that old fellow Yun Shan. I knew he wasn’t dead yet!"
"The Yun Lan Sect now has two Dou Ancestors. That old generation of his must have also reached the Dou Ancestor level by now."
Hearing Yun Yun mention Yun Shan, Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and Hai Bodong silently pondered.
"Alright, Sect Master Yun Yun. It has been ages since I last saw Yun Shan. That old guy has remarkable patience, spending decades solely on cultivation!" Jia Xingtian nodded, sighing with admiration.
"Indeed, Sect Master Yun Yun," echoed Fa Ma and Hai Bodong in unison.
...
After announcing his engagement to Yun Yun, Gu He continued chatting casually with Jia Xingtian and the others. However, he refrained from revealing any details about his cultivation level, despite their clear curiosity.
By noon, Gu He, Yun Yun, Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, Fa Ma, and the four disciples all arrived at the Yun Lan Sect's main hall.
Inside the hall, many of the Yun Lan Sect elders were already seated.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
As Yun Yun stepped into the hall, the seated elders all stood respectfully and bowed.
"There is no need for formalities, elders. Please, take your seats."
Yun Yun’s voice was calm, her elegant gesture of raising a single hand conveying a subtle but commanding presence.
She and Gu He walked side by side, choosing not to sit at the head seat but at a table below it. Liu Ling, Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Qing Lin took seats next to them, while Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and Hai Bodong sat opposite them.
The close seating arrangement and interactions between Yun Yun and Gu He did not go unnoticed. The more perceptive attendees could discern the subtle relationship between the two.
News of Gu He and his disciples achieving the Dou Ancestor level had already spread throughout the Yun Lan Sect. Seeing Yun Yun and Gu He so close filled many hearts with joy. If the two truly united, Gu He, a powerful Dou Ancestor, would fully bind himself to the Yun Lan Sect, elevating the sect’s status to an unparalleled level within the Jia Ma Empire.
However, some were puzzled as to why Yun Yun and Gu He chose not to sit at the head seat but instead among the guests.
Just as Gu He’s group settled down, a figure dressed in white appeared at the hall’s entrance. The newcomer made no attempt to conceal his aura, and a powerful oppressive energy emanated from him, surpassing that of the three seasoned Dou Emperors present.
This man, clad in a white robe with hair as white as snow, appeared surprisingly youthful. His face bore no wrinkles, exuding an aura akin to radiant jade.
"Ha! That old fellow looks younger after breaking through to the Dou Ancestor level. It seems the benefits of surpassing that barrier are extraordinary!" Hai Bodong couldn’t help clicking his tongue in envy as he observed the figure at the entrance.
"None of us three can compare to his dedication," Jia Xingtian remarked with a sigh.
Fa Ma nodded in agreement. "Of course. Yun Shan has been able to nurture a successor like Sect Master Yun Yun, leaving him free from other concerns and allowing him to focus solely on cultivation."
"From the pressure he’s exuding, it’s clear Yun Shan has indeed become a Dou Ancestor. Truly, the heavens favor our Yun Lan Sect!" Seeing Yun Shan’s arrival, the Grand Elder Yun Leng was overwhelmed with emotion. Internally marveling at the sight, he quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Yun Shan.
"Welcome back, Old Sect Master!"
"Old Sect Master!"
"Master!"
As Yun Shan appeared, all the elders of the Yun Lan Sect, including Yun Yun, stood up with respectful gazes directed at him.
"Mm."
Yun Shan nodded slightly and walked slowly into the hall, eventually stopping beside the two tables below the head seat. His gaze swept over to Gu He and Yun Yun, and he smiled and nodded.
Because of the impending marriage to Yun Yun, and Yun Shan being Yun Yun’s elder, Gu He had visited Yun Shan’s secluded cultivation grounds three days earlier. However, this time, he did not disguise himself as Protector Vulture but openly revealed his true identity as Gu He. He also displayed strength that greatly astonished Yun Shan, who at that time had not yet broken through to the Dou Ancestor level.
After showcasing his immense strength, Gu He directly stated his intentions to Yun Shan and presented him with a Breaking Ancestor Pill to help him break through to the Dou Ancestor realm. Furthermore, Gu He secretly removed some hidden dangers left in Yun Shan's body by the Hall of Souls.
"Yun Shan, you old rascal, you’ve got it good!"
Jia Xingtian spoke to Yun Shan with an envious tone.
"Breaking through to the Dou Ancestor level and not even bothering to check in on us old friends!"
"Exactly. If it weren’t for this wedding between Yun Yun and Gu He, the next time you came out, you might only be seeing our graves," Fa Ma and Hai Bodong teased with a playful tone.
These individuals had been prominent figures in the Jia Ma Empire during the previous era. While their personal relationships might not have been deep, reaching this age brought a sense of camaraderie, as most of their generation had already passed away. Seeing one another again evoked feelings of reunion with an old friend.
Hearing their words, Yun Shan quickly turned around with a smile and replied, "Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, aren’t you all still looking healthy and full of life?"
"Healthy? Hardly. This world belongs to the younger generation now," Fa Ma sighed deeply.
"That’s right. We old folks will soon have to step off the stage," Hai Bodong added in agreement.
Among the three, Fa Ma and Hai Bodong were straightforward and unconcerned as they spoke their minds. However, Jia Xingtian was different; knowing the growing strength of the Yun Lan Sect, he felt a sense of unease in his heart.
"Haha, enough about that. Once the important matters are settled, we’ll have plenty of time to chat!"
Hearing their comments, Yun Shan laughed lightly, dismissing their remarks. Without waiting for a reply, he walked straight to the head seat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a joyous announcement to make today!"
Yun Shan turned to face the crowd, his expression kind and his tone warm as he slowly spoke.
"My disciple Yun Yun and Elder Gu He will be holding their wedding in half a month..."
