A moment later, in Sengoku.
The Gate of the Divine Realm opened. This was Lu An's first time entering Sengoku after a long time.
Looking at the scenery that was still like a fairyland, Lu An's eyes did not waver. His heart felt like it was dead, and there was no light in his eyes.
Although he could still smile at others and talk to others like before, the emptiness and loneliness that emanated from the bottom of his heart could not be hidden at all.
He walked beside Yao, and under the gazes of the surrounding Sengoku people, he walked towards the residence of the Divine Master. After a long time, he finally arrived in front of the courtyard.
Beside the stone table in the courtyard, Yuan and Jun were both sitting on stone chairs, as if waiting for Lu An's arrival.
If this had happened before, Lu An might not have dared to meet these two people, or perhaps he would have felt guilty. But now, he still did not feel anything in his heart, and just walked straight up to the two of them.
"Master, Divine Master," Lu An cupped his hands and said softly.
Yuan and Jun looked at their daughter and Lu An standing in front of them, especially at Lu An's body, and their hearts were filled with melancholy.
It had been more than half a year since the last incident. In the beginning, they really hated Lu An. If it had not been for Lu An, Sengoku would not have been brought to such a state. But as time passed, they also understood many things. Some things did not happen because of Lu An, but because things would have turned out this way sooner or later.
In the end, the Hachiko clan would not tolerate Sengoku's existence in this world. It was only a matter of time.
Under the suppression of the Hachiko clan, Sengoku did not have any opportunity to develop for more than ten thousand years. There was still only these people, and there was still no progress. After the previous incident, the Hachiko clan's oppression of Sengoku became even more severe. It was likely that Sengoku would not be able to survive for much longer.
This was also the reason why Yuan agreed to let his daughter be with Lu An. First, Sengoku did not know how long it would last, and he did not want to delay his daughter's happiness. Second, Sengoku did not have the ability to face the pressure of the Hachiko clan, but perhaps Lu An could.
Although Lu An was still pitifully weak now, as long as he had time, he might be able to grow to a point that people looked forward to.
"Have a seat," Yuan said as he looked at his daughter and Lu An.
Yao sat down, but Lu An did not. He cupped his hands and said. "Divine Master, this junior is here to propose marriage to you. I implore you to betroth Yao to me."
As soon as he said this, Yao, who had just sat down, suddenly trembled. She stood up again and stood beside Lu An.
Yuan and Jun looked at the two of them, then looked at each other. Jun nodded gently and said to the two, "We will not object to your marriage. Little Yao is Sengoku's princess. Her marriage must be arranged properly."
"Yes." Yuan nodded and said, "Even if Sengoku is declining now, everyone must know about Little Yao's marriage. When the time comes, I will invite people from all the major sects to attend the wedding. But before that, you must prepare the betrothal gifts. You must not let others see you as a joke. "
Lu An's heart ached when he heard this. Let the whole world know?
He took a light breath, then cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
"Father." At this moment, Yao suddenly said, "I don't want to make such a big scene. I just want to have a banquet with my family. We will be happy and don't want others to participate."
"How can that be?" Yuan frowned and said, "No matter what, you are Sengoku's princess. Won't others see you as a joke if you do this?!"
"But, I really don't like such a noisy environment." Yao pleaded. "I just want to have a wedding with An Ning. There's no need to publicize it. Just let us know."
When Lu An heard this, he turned to look at Yao in surprise.
Marriage was a day that all women in the world looked forward to. There was no woman who did not want to get married in a grand manner. Yao was Sengoku's princess. The reason why she could say something like this was very simple.
For him.
She knew the pain in his heart, so she did not want this matter to be publicized.
Not only that, if Lu An and Yao's marriage was publicized and made known to everyone, coupled with Lu An's special background, he would definitely be hated by the Chu and Jiang clans. Although the Chu and Jiang clans could not do anything to the Fu Clan, they could do something to Sengoku.
For Lu An's safety and for Sengoku's safety, this matter could not be known by more people. The later it was discovered, the better.
Yuan and Jun looked at their daughter's determined eyes. They were both experienced people. How could they not know what their daughter was thinking? Looking at their daughter, they could only feel heartache.
In order to marry Lu An, their daughter had been lobbying them for seven days. They also knew that Lu An had many women around him. If it was in the past, they would definitely not be willing to let their daughter marry such a person. But so much time had passed, and they were slowly getting used to it.
As long as their daughter was happy, they would let her decide for herself.
"Forget it." Yuan waved his hand, as if he had aged a lot in an instant. He said, "Do whatever you want."
Hearing her father's words, Yao's eyes reddened. She walked to Yuan and said, "Father, don't be unhappy!"
"What's there to be unhappy about? As long as you're happy, I'm happy! " Yuan looked at his daughter and said dotingly. He then turned to look at Lu An. He took a deep breath and said, "I don't ask much of you. Don't let my daughter down."
"Yes." Lu An nodded and said, "This junior will remember."
Jun looked at the three of them. Now that things had come to this, she could finally heave a sigh of relief. No matter what, the matter had been settled. She said, "When are the two of you planning to get married?"
"…"
Lu An was silent. He had never thought about this question.
At this moment, Yao opened her mouth and said, "There's no time like the present. I want to do it today."
"Today?!" Jun was stunned. She looked at her daughter in shock.
Not only her, Yuan and Lu An also looked at Yao. They did not expect their daughter to be so anxious.
Looking at the three of them, Yao's face was slightly red. In reality, this was not her decision. It was what they said.
In these seven days, the women in the family had also discussed many things with her. They all knew Lu An very well. If Lu An were to choose the date, Lu An would probably push it a hundred thousand miles away or not choose at all. Lu An was definitely unwilling to accept this marriage, so he was passive. Yao wanted to be more proactive.
There was no time like the present. This was the best way. There was no need to wait for things like marriage. After all, time waits for no man. A long night was fraught with dreams. Anything could happen.
Yao looked at Lu An. Lu An also looked at her. Finally, he nodded gently and said, "Okay."
Yao finally smiled happily, and said to her parents. "There are many eyes in the Immortal Realm. I wish to let father, mother, and my two elder brothers leave the Immortal Realm, and hold the wedding at my friend's place. I only need you two and my friend to bear witness."
"…"
Yuan and Jun looked at their daughter. Although they wanted to refuse, they took back all their words when they saw the happiness in their daughter's eyes.
As long as their daughter was happy, they did not care about anything.
"Okay." Jun said, "I'll call them. We'll go together."
"Okay!" Yao nodded.

That night.
Heavenly Saintess Pavilion.
No one went to Purple Lake City. After all, there were all kinds of people there. It was very likely that there were spies there. In comparison, Heavenly Saintess Pavilion was much safer.
Since the Divine Master and Divine Empress were here personally, everyone naturally had to treat them carefully. Although Sengoku could not be compared to the Hachiko clan, it was more powerful than the fifteen sects and sixteen clans.
Yao's two brothers, Chen and Qing, were also here. At first, Chen was unwilling, but under Yuan and Jun's orders, he did not do anything. As for Qing, he had been in Purple Lake City for so long. Or rather, he had liked Beauty Yang for so long. Others might not understand his sister's feelings, but he felt the same way.
As for the family, Beauty Yang, Yang Mu, Liu Yi, Liu Lan, and Shuang 'er were all here. Other than Kong Yan, everyone else was here. They all liked Lu An and were looking forward to marrying Lu An. However, no one expected that Yao would be the first one.
Because there were not many people, a banquet was enough for everyone to sit down. Although the main hall of the Heavenly Saintess Pavilion was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, the atmosphere was rather calm.
Fortunately, Liu Yi was here. Although there were not many people, they could not miss out on a single segment. Everyone took turns to toast the newlyweds. Lu An drank one by one. Even Yao, who never drank, did the same. Both of them were very powerful. Naturally, they would not get drunk from such ordinary wine.
The banquet lasted for almost four hours. After that, the people from Sengoku left. Only the newlyweds and their family members were left. Liu Yi looked at the two of them. She walked to Lu An's side and said softly, "The rest of the time is yours. A night in the bridal room is worth a thousand gold. Don't let Little Yao down."
"…"
Lu An glanced at Liu Yi. In the end, he nodded and turned to look at Yao.
Yao was also looking at him. Even now, the two of them still maintained a sense of distance. It was as if the distance between them had not shortened at all.
"Let's return to Half Moon Island," Lu An said softly.
Yao's delicate body trembled. She looked into Lu An's eyes and nodded.
