Betrothal
Zuo Qingcheng and Mu Chengtian's engagement was held without anyone's blessing.
It could be seen that Zuo Hongxin and Mu Cheng were truly prepared to work together and use their power to change the Treasure Tower's future Tower Master fight.
Since both sides were wealthy families, there were naturally a lot of people who came.
The city lords of the six cities in the outer regions of the Immortal Realm were all present. The heads of the Six Pavilions and Three Gates also came one after another. Even if some of them couldn't make it in time, there were still people who could represent them here.
"It's quite lively here. Why are you here?"
Zuo Mo sipped from a cup of wine in a corner of the venue.
"You're still drinking? Don't tell me that you're still a little sad about Mu Chengtian marrying Zuo Qingcheng."
Ye Zichen smiled. He was definitely joking.
Even an idiot could tell how Zuo Mo felt about Mu Chengtian!
However, Zuo Mo remained silent. Ye Zichen, who had just poured himself a cup of wine, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Could it be that I was right?"
"What are you talking about?" Zuo Mo laughed angrily. Then, she pouted at the two people who were surrounded by everyone. "They're a perfect match."
"A pair of dogs, forever!" Ye Zichen shrugged with a smile.
"Your expression is quite apt." Zuo Mo couldn't help but smile. "Why are you interested in watching their engagement? Didn't you say that the sacred land of the Immortal Region wants you to go?"
"Why am I in such a hurry …" Ye Zichen couldn't help but twitch his mouth. "They're telling me to go. How about they send an eight-person palanquin over, then I'll just obediently send myself over? I'm also a person who wants to save face! "
Just yesterday, Ye Zichen received a sound transmission from Great Emperor Qingming, who asked him to come to the Immortal Region for a chat.
At that time, his expression was …
Disdain.
Putting aside the matter of face, he had been in the Three Realms for so long, yet he didn't even know what kind of damned place the Immortal Region's sacred land was.
Even if he wanted to go, how could he?
"Fine, you want to save face."
Zuo Mo smiled, then picked up the wine cup with a dark expression and started to drink by herself. Ye Zichen looked her up and down, then couldn't help but ask.
"What's on your mind? This isn't like you."
"You make it sound like you know me very well," Zuo Mo smiled.
"Of course. In my mind, Zuo Mo is like Wu Zetian, a proper queen. You should always look down on everything with a disdainful gaze. Drinking alone like this isn't like you. "
Although Zuo Mo didn't know who Wu Zetian was, she still couldn't help but giggle.
"That's more like it. She's a pretty girl, but if she keeps putting on a sullen face, she won't look good anymore."
"I was born beautiful. No matter what, I'm always beautiful." Zuo Mo squinted her eyes and smiled. Ye Zichen nodded without refuting her. "Since that's the case, can you tell me what's bothering you?"
"Actually, it's not that important."
Zuo Mo raised her cup and swirled it a few times. Her gaze lingered on the center of the engagement ceremony, but Ye Zichen knew that she wasn't paying attention to the main character of the ceremony.
"Zuo Qingcheng and Mu Chengtian's marriage means that my second uncle has the support of the entire Mu family. You should know that the leader of the Treasure Tower will be chosen from the younger generation soon … "Zuo Mo hesitated.
Zuo Mo wanted to say something, but then hesitated. Ye Zichen wasn't stupid, so he naturally understood what she wanted to say.
"Zuo Qingcheng is a threat to you?"
"Sort of," Zuo Mo nodded. Zuo Mo nodded. "Look at the elders wearing the Treasure Tower's attire over there. They're all senior elders of our Treasure Tower. They were neutral before, but when they heard that Zuo Qingcheng and Mu Chengtian got engaged, they all switched sides to her side. "
"It seems like they didn't grasp the direction of the wind!" Ye Zichen twitched his mouth.
"How could that be?" Zuo Mo raised her eyebrows. "These seniors are all smart people. Since they didn't choose to stay out of trouble and chose a side, they should have chosen a side. Since they didn't choose to stand on their own, that means that they are completely confident that they will stand on the right side. "
"Then you're giving up on yourself just like that?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows.
"Naturally not," Zuo Mo stood up from the chair and stretched lazily. "No matter what, I have to fight for it, whether it's for the Treasure Tower's future or for my life."
What Zuo Mo wanted to express was very clear. If Zuo Qingcheng became the master of the Treasure Tower …
There would be no place for her in the Zuo family or even the entire outer Immortal Region. In order to survive, she had to fight for it.
Ye Zichen had seen plenty of the internal struggles of large families.
However, he was completely confident in Zuo Mo. Even if Zuo Mo really lost, he still had a trump card to turn the tables.
Of course, he wouldn't say it out loud.
The chassis should only be used at the most crucial moment, wasn't it the most exciting?
"Elder sister, why are you here? Just now, Sky Bearing and I were looking for you."
At this moment, Zuo Qingcheng walked over while holding onto Mu Chengtian's arm. No one knew if it was because of joy or something else, but the sickly invalid's pale face actually had a tinge of red.
There were also many young talents following behind them. Most of these people were from large clans or forces, and they were representative or had the ability to rally the younger generation.
"Elder sister, why are you here? Sky Bearing and I were looking for you just now."
Zuo Qingcheng smirked. Ye Zichen didn't know what sort of tricks were hidden beneath that foxy smile. Before coming to the engagement ceremony, Zuo Hongde had told Zuo Mo not to cause any trouble.
She also understood that it wouldn't be good for her if they argued in this sort of situation.
In order to avoid any conflict, she chose to ignore them with a faint smile, then turned around to leave.
"Elder sister, this is little sister's engagement ceremony. Although we aren't biological sisters, we've lived together in this compound for twenty something years. Shouldn't you wish your little sister well? "
"Mhmm, of course," Zuo Mo smiled. "I hope the two of you can grow old together, be of one heart forever, live happily together for a hundred years, have children soon, and live as long as the Southern Mountains … See, is that enough?"
"Little sister thanks big sister here," Zuo Mo smiled.
Zuo Qingcheng's expression did not change. She merely smiled and looked towards Ye Zichen.
"Aiyo, I'm not very educated. Zuo Mo said all the words I could think of. What am I supposed to do? How about this, I wish the two of you … Zeze, I wish the two of you … Ai, I wish you happiness in your future marriage. "
With that, Ye Zichen glanced at Mu Chengtian's lower body a few times.
"Ye Zichen!" Mu Chengtian's expression darkened. Ye Zichen subconsciously took a step back and shrugged, "What? I'm just thinking for you. If the Mu family ends in your generation, then aren't you going to be the scapegoat? "
"You …"
Mu Chengtian's pale face turned red in anger. Zuo Qingcheng smiled, then pulled his arm, "No matter what, everyone is wishing me well.
"No matter what, everyone is giving me their blessings. How can you be angry?"
Then, she nodded towards Ye Zichen.
