Chapter 272 The Proposal! A Frenzy of Celebration for the Righteous Path!
Outside Lu Xueqi's bamboo hut.
Shuiyue, dressed in a moon-white robe, looked through the crack in the window at Lu Xueqi, whose eyes clearly revealed her joy as she stood in front of the dressing table.
Shuiyue's usually cold face softened, and a strange sense of accomplishment, like warm sunshine, enveloped her heart.
Tomorrow, Lu Xueqi, whom she considers family, will be betrothed to someone, and the other party has no flaws except for being a womanizer.
He is strong, handsome, and will become the future leader of the Qingyun Sect.
She looked at Lu Xueqi's face in the candlelight, and her thoughts drifted back to the day she found the two of them in Shuiyun City.
At first glance, she felt a strong connection with this woman.
At Lu Xueqi's request, and because of Li Qingan's qualifications, he was also allowed to enter Qingyun Sect.
She then naturally led the two of them to Qingyun Sect.
Later, given her own emotional entanglements, she actually hoped that Lu Xueqi would not become obsessed with romantic relationships.
Furthermore, Li Qing'an's inexplicable display of extraordinary talent made her even more uneasy.
Because she knew that such a prodigy of the era would definitely be surrounded by a constant stream of beautiful women.
Lu Xueqi is very likely to suffer a loss.
In the mortal world, it is common to have three wives and four concubines, but this is rare in the world of cultivation.
Many people remain single their entire lives, and marrying someone is the norm. Only a small number of people with too many female confidantes would do so!
Undoubtedly, Shuiyue had foreseen this when she discovered Li Qingan's research on the Spirit Gathering Array more than a decade ago.
Therefore, they wanted to separate the two, but things didn't go as planned, and their relationship...
Even now, Shuiyue still harbors great resentment towards Li Qingan for having other female confidantes, but she can't defy Lu Xueqi's own ideas.
In addition, Li Qingan is indeed the best choice.
A few years ago, Shuiyue changed her mind. Since she couldn't stop them, she decided to let the two get engaged as soon as possible, as long as Lu Xueqi was Li Qing'an's first woman.
No matter what, you won't suffer any injustice.
This was the best help she, as both a teacher and a mother, could give her.
Shuiyue sighed, pondering how to comfort her junior sister.
She had won the first round of her match against Su Ru. If she didn't appease Su Ru, who knew what kind of trouble Su Ru would cause.
And at this time.
Dazhufeng, Shoujing Hall!
As someone entrusted by Li Qing'an, Su Ru naturally hadn't been able to sleep yet.
Even all the disciples of Dazhu Peak are still busy.
According to the usual procedures for proposing marriage in the secular world, the three letters and six rites are indispensable.
The three documents: the letter of engagement, the letter of gifts, and the letter of welcome.
The Six Rites: Betrothal, Asking the Name, Accepting Auspicious Gifts, Presenting Betrothal Gifts, Setting the Wedding Date, and the Wedding Ceremony!
This whole process would take at least a year to complete.
Therefore, the cultivation world has its own simplified version of marriage proposals.
They ask each other's names and exchange information such as birth dates and times.
Najib would use a spirit beast or flying sword to deliver the betrothal letter, which would bear the seals of the elders or respected figures of both parties.
Apart from that, it's entirely up to each individual to do as they please.
The betrothal gifts that Li Qing'an had prepared will be given out tomorrow, and the Nine Heavens Divine Weapons will be of great help in the war to come.
That's why Daoxuan asked that question earlier.
"Xiao An has already prepared these engagement letters for tomorrow. Xuan Niao and Ling Zun will deliver them on their behalf!"
Su Ru sat in the hall, looking down as she sorted through the documents in front of her, her eyes full of interest.
This was the first time she had ever helped someone prepare for a marriage proposal, especially one involving Li Qing'an, with whom they had a very close relationship.
Naturally, this requires even more effort.
"The Spirit Lord and the Black Bird actually did it for us! Junior Brother, no, Uncle-Master, you really have won the Spirit Lord's heart!"
Song Daren and the others were all taken aback; it was just a marriage proposal, yet the Spirit Lord had to make a move.
Is Li Qing'an famous?
Li Qingan is still the stronger one.
It should be noted that Lingzun, as the ancestor of Qingyezi, retrieved the sect's guardian beast and usually prefers to stay in the Azure Cold Pool. This is the first time he has left Tongtian Peak.
Sitting on the platform, Tian Buyi was somewhat shocked; he couldn't understand why the Spirit Lord wanted to help.
Although he was persuaded by Dao Xuan, he no longer opposed his daughter's relationship with Li Qing'an.
He's only had this one daughter all these years, so he must be feeling a bit unhappy.
But he also knew that, in principle, his daughter was absolutely not a good match for Li Qing'an.
The fact that things are like this now is simply because Li Qing'an happened to be his disciple for a period of time.
Li Qingan also happened to have quite a few interactions with Tian Ling'er.
What no one knew was that Li Qing'an originally did not intend to let the Spirit Venerable come out of the mountain. Apart from the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird, he would have let the divine tortoise Xiao Luo, which he had raised, take his place.
However, although Xiao Luo is handsome, his speed as a turtle is extremely slow.
In addition, Xiao Luo also felt like not wanting to move.
It went to Tongtian Peak and found the Spirit Lord. It doesn't know what it said, but the Spirit Lord actually agreed.
Upon learning the news, Li Qing'an naturally replaced Xiao Luo and asked the Spirit Lord for help.
Thus, Li Qing'an selected the spirit beast to deliver the engagement letter.
But this also made Li Qing'an more satisfied.
Meanwhile, inside Shoujing Hall.
Tian Ling'er sat next to Su Ru, watching longingly as she looked at the festive red paper with Li Qing'an and Lu Xueqi's names written on it, feeling very envious.
He wished he could write his own name after Lu Xueqi's right now.
However, it's impossible. Su Ru won't agree, and neither will Shui Yue.
There is no such thing as marrying two wives at once in this world.
Su Ru put down the betrothal letter in her hand and said to everyone, "Tomorrow is Xiao An's big day. You all know about the Incense Valley matter. You must keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble."
"Although this is Qingyun Sect, Fenxiang Valley certainly wouldn't dare to do anything, but we still have to be on guard!"
"Yes!" Song Daren and the others bowed their heads in unison.
This scene plays out everywhere in the Seven Sects of Qingyun, for fear that the disciples of Fenxiang Valley might suddenly decide to cause trouble.
It's important to understand that this engagement is extremely important; if it's ruined, it will tarnish the bride's reputation.
Therefore, all sects will be on high alert tomorrow, in case any righteous cultivators dare to make any move.
Desperate!
.......
The bright moon revolves, and the golden crow rises.
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
Outside Tianzhen Peak and Xiaozhu Peak, there were dense crowds of people, like ants, clustered together in several groups.
The discussions were incessant.
"My goodness! Chief Li is exchanging betrothal documents using the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird and the Azure Cloud Sect's guardian beast, the Water Qilin!"
"This is way too big!"
"That's not all! I heard that Chief Li's betrothal gift was a divine weapon he personally forged!"
"What? A divine weapon from the heavens! Are you sure?"
"How could it be fake? Have you found out who forged those two divine weapons in Chief Li's possession ten years ago?
Many people suddenly realized and exclaimed in astonishment, "You mean...?"
"That's right. It's being said that Chief Li Qing'an is the one who forged the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, and he even forged two of them in a row."
"So, do you guys think this news is reliable? And where did you get this news from?"
"It cannot be said, it cannot be said!" One of them darted around, glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention, and continued, "I suspect that the Qingyun Sect hid this information before because Chief Li's strength was not yet sufficient, but now that they are strong enough, they no longer need everyone to cover it up!"
"Otherwise, do you think we would have known this information?"
Chapter 273 Li Xun Returns, Li Xun Spits Blood!
Early morning hours.
Accompanied by the cry of the Black Bird, the low growl of the Little Luo Divine Turtle, the roar of the Spirit Lord, and the signature water column.
This will attract more righteous cultivators to this place.
It was during this discussion that...
Li Xun and Shangguan Ce, who set off a day later, also arrived outside Qingyun Gate.
When Li Xun and his group arrived ten miles away from Qingyun Sect, they saw a disciple from Fenxiang Valley there to greet them.
Before they could exchange more than a few greetings, the disciple was about to take Li Xun to the Fenxiang Valley's encampment at the Qingyun Sect.
Along the way, they also saw many righteous cultivators, hurrying off in a certain direction.
He merely nodded in acknowledgment when he saw Shangguan Ce of Fenxiang Valley.
