At the mention of Fairy Zixia, Ye Zichen froze.
As far as he could remember, Fairy Zixia's final destination was the Supreme Treasure. Although the ending of that movie had been barely satisfactory, Ye Zichen's feelings for the Supreme Treasure and Fairy Zixia had long since been ingrained in his heart.
That was until he met the Great Sage who'd removed the Golden Band-Tightening Curse and learned of Fairy Zixia's existence ….
Then he found out that the two of them had truly gone through a love-hate relationship, and now he heard with his own ears that Fairy Zixia was about to marry the son of Ziyan City's city lord.
All of a sudden, Ye Zichen felt a bit of regret. Why did I ask so nicely?
If he hadn't asked, they wouldn't have known it was Zixia, and the Great Sage wouldn't have ….
Ye Zichen slammed the table, stood up, and glared at the Great Sage. The waiter was terrified beyond belief.
He also realized that he might have said something that he shouldn't have and angered the two masters.
The waiter gulped and shrunk his neck. He didn't even dare breathe too loudly. Ye Zichen rose to his feet and sighed, then glanced at the Great Sage.
"Great Sage ….."
Ye Zichen wanted to say something, but he couldn't get a single word out of his mouth.
The Great Sage's aura surged. How could heaven and earth possibly withstand the fury of an imperial emperor? The surging spiritual pressure caused the hair of the diners in the restaurant to stand on end. Their eyes trembled as they looked at the furious Great Sage.
The wine jugs filled with rose wine exploded under the pressure. Fine nectar flowed out of the jugs.
The Great Sage's fury enveloped the entire city. Countless experts who were close to or had already stepped into the ruler realm instinctively rushed toward the restaurant. Despite themselves, a chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their skulls.
In terms of strength, this city couldn't even compare to the third tier of the Northern Kingdom.
In the past, diviner-level experts were extraordinary existences here. Now that the Great Sage was releasing spiritual pressure that was at least at the imperial emperor level, the entire city, including the city lord's manor, fell into a state of panic.
The Scarlet Flame Horse of the wedding procession hadn't even left the city yet. The young man who'd held a grudge against the Great Sage stared blankly at the spiritual pressure for a long while.
Enveloped by this spiritual pressure, his skin felt stinging pain all over his body.
At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a demon's lair, and he was an ant crawling under the ancient demon king.
"Now do you understand why I didn't let you cause trouble for them?"
The only Sovereign in the escort party stepped forward. With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the surging spiritual pressure and urged the escort party to leave the city as soon as possible. Only then did he speak to the young man.
"Just based on this spiritual pressure, I'm no match for him. If you had continued to be so stubborn, let alone me, even your father wouldn't have been able to save you. Do you understand? "
Even with the middle-aged man's protection, the young man's eyes flickered as if he had suffered an extreme shock.
Just now, when he'd left, he'd blamed the middle-aged man and secretly hated the Great Sage and Ye Zichen.
It was even to the extent that he'd thought of investigating their identities once he returned to Violet Yan City.
When the time comes, I'll settle the score!
Now …
He was truly afraid.
The escort party left the city in a grandiose procession, but the people in the tavern were already prostrating themselves on the ground. Although the Great Sage's fury wasn't directed at them, being so close to an imperial emperor's wrath wasn't something mere sky supremes could withstand.
Zixia's wedding had driven the Great Sage mad. From the golden light in his eyes, Ye Zichen could tell that he wasn't listening to him at all.
When Ye Zichen saw the customers' expressions, he knit his brows and spread his divine power outwards.
Given his current cultivation, he naturally couldn't completely neutralize the Great Sage's fury, but at the very least, he could make the people in the city feel a little better.
But at this moment, the monstrous rage that made people tremble suddenly disappeared from the world.
Countless diviners and rulers who'd lived in seclusion let out long sighs of relief. Considering the Great Sage's fury just now, they'd truly been worried that the Great Sage would destroy the entire city in a fit of rage.
When the diners in the tavern felt the pressure disappear, they all crawled up from the ground and ran out of the tavern in a panic. Most of them hadn't paid their bills yet, but the waiters didn't have the spare energy to bicker with them.
They trembled as they hid in a corner of the tavern, not daring to even glance at the Great Sage.
The pressure had vanished so abruptly that even Ye Zichen froze for a moment before retracting his divine power. He looked at the Great Sage, who'd already returned to his chair. The red in his eyes had long since vanished, and the anger on his face had vanished as well. Instead, he looked utterly dejected.
"So that's how it is."
The Great Sage muttered dejectedly. He was angry …. Angry at how abruptly this news had arrived. But now, inexplicably, he'd returned to normal. It was because he remembered what Zixia's older brother had told him when he'd gone looking for her.
"You mean with the son of Violet Yan City's city lord?"
The Great Sage smiled indifferently, then reached into the air and pulled out an exquisite wooden box.
Ye Zichen looked at it. The instant he opened it, his pupils constricted.
Inside was a long, purple-and-white robe made of silk. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the robe he'd worn back when he'd obtained the Supreme Treasure.
Even after thousands of years, the robe was still perfectly preserved.
The Great Sage's eyes reddened. He carefully touched the robe, and pure white tears welled up in his eyes.
He slammed the box shut, then returned it to the void.
Ye Zichen, who'd seen it all with his own eyes, wanted to say something, but the Great Sage stopped him.
"Don't mention it. Ye-zi, let's drink!"
With that, the Great Sage roared without so much as turning his head.
"Waiter, bring out the wine!"
The Great Sage's spiritual pressure had long since crushed all the rose brew in the tavern. The waiters had no idea what to do. At that moment, Ye Zichen took out several jugs of wine he'd bought in the God Realm and handed them to the Great Sage.
The Great Sage said nothing. He tilted his head back and poured the wine into his mouth.
He didn't need the rose brew right now. He just wanted to get drunk.
One day and one night.
The House of Rose didn't receive any more customers. Ye Zichen stayed by the Great Sage's side the entire time. Who knew how much wine he drank? Who knew how many times the Great Sage's tears welled up in his eyes?
His heart was undoubtedly in pain. He wanted to get drunk.
But he was already an emperor. How could he get drunk? The more he drank, the more clear-headed he became. The more clear-headed he became, the more he'd remember Zixia's upcoming wedding.
"Waiter!"
The Great Sage called out. The waiter trembled as he walked over.
The newcomer was the same stalwart man. He'd interacted with the Great Sage before, so it was only natural that the waiter would send him.
"Sir, what are your orders? Is it the rose brew? We've already gotten new ones."
The Great Sage smiled sadly and shook his head. He glanced at the waiter, whose legs were trembling uncontrollably.
"When will the wedding be held in Zixia City?"
