"The auspicious day has arrived. I hereby announce that the wedding of the Holy Son of Longyang and the Holy Consort Su Mengqi will now officially begin!"
Along with the emcee's voice, the audience once again erupted into cheers.
However, most of these cheers came from the middle and back rows. The sect's Grand Elder, the three Hall Masters, the Hall Master of the Emergency Hall, Wei Tianyi, Elder Jin, and the others sitting in the front row did not express much.
Occasionally, he would just clap his hands symbolically, or put on a forced smile.
The behavior of these upper echelons was a stark contrast to the state of the other guests.
They knew that everything beautiful in front of them might just be an illusion.
Perhaps in a little while, today's lively and joyous scene would become nothing more than a passing cloud.
They had been waiting, waiting for the turning point to occur.
More accurately speaking, waiting for the person who would change the course of the wedding …
In fact, they didn't want to see the things that they had anticipated happen, nor did they want to see the person that they had anticipated appear.
Everyone hoped that the wedding ceremony would go on smoothly until it finally ended.
Elder Jin, who was seated next to Wei Tianyi, had a dark and uncertain expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a long period of silence, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Old Wei, are you sure that Yun Fan will really come?"
Hidden under his black robe, Wei Tianyi indifferently replied, "If he doesn't come, then he won't be my brother."
Elder Jin's eyes narrowed. After a moment of silence, he said, "Actually … if old Wei agrees, this junior can send someone to intercept Yun Fan midway and make it so that he won't be able to make it to the wedding …"
However, before Elder Jin's words could fade, Wei Tianyi, who had his eyes shut like an old monk in meditation, suddenly opened them. A sharp glint shot out like a waterfall, causing the former to swallow the latter's words.
"Yun Fan saved this old man's life and is my brother. If you dare to do this, then don't blame this old man for being merciless!"
Hearing this, Elder Jin's face immediately changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Teacher, what are you saying? I, Jin Wanchen, am who I am today is all thanks to Teacher's nurturing and guidance.
You should know that your position in my heart is higher than that of the Fire Domain's Emperor. How could I do anything to disobey you? "
Hearing the former's words, Wei Tianyi slowly closed his eyes.
Then, he said indifferently, "That's good … Let my brother do what he wants. What we need to do now is to wait and see."
"But if this matter gets out of hand …"
Elder Jin had just opened his mouth when Wei Tianyi waved his hand and interrupted him. His voice was hoarse and deep as he said, "Today, I only recognize Yun Fan and no one else …"
Elder Jin took a deep breath, looked deeply at Wei Tianyi, and nodded. "Teacher, I understand."
Wei Tianyi said, "If that really happens, you only need to take care of yourself. You don't need to interfere in the matters between this old man and Yun Fan."
After another moment of silence, Elder Jin's lips trembled, and he said in a low voice, "Yes, Teacher."
At the same time, on the right side of the second row sat the various elders and deacons of the Emergency Hall.
Ling Wanli and Ling Xiangning were among them.
Ling Xiangning frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she asked softly, "Grandfather, if something really happens, which side will we stand on?"
Ling Wanli was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect his granddaughter to ask such a direct question.
Then, instead of answering, he asked, "What do you think?"
Ling Xiangning was startled. "What do I think?"
Ling Wanli looked at her meaningfully and nodded, "That's right. In your opinion, which side do you want to stand on?"
Being stared at by the former, Ling Xiangning's face turned slightly red, and she said seriously, "In my opinion, I will naturally stand on the side of my colleagues from the Emergency Hall!"
Ling Wanli asked with a smile, "Even if it means offending those two in the sky?"
As he spoke, Ling Wanli stretched out his finger and pointed at the sky above him.
"Grandfather, why are you looking at me like this?"
Ling Xiangning's face turned even redder, and she said, "This is the relationship between everyone and my family. It's true that both of them are from the Heaven Burning Sect of Ten Thousand Flames, but that guy is a member of my Emergency Hall. What's wrong with me standing on his side?
Moreover, I think that love should be mutual. Miss Mengqi doesn't like the Holy Son of Long Yang, but … "
"Xiangning!"
Before Ling Xiangning could finish, she was interrupted by Ling Wanli, who glared at her fiercely.
The walls had ears. Before things happened, some things were better left unsaid.
…
At this moment, on the high platform, the master of ceremonies was still eloquent, constantly giving his blessings.
Then, he changed his tone and looked at the two newlyweds on the stage.
With a flattering smile on his face, he sang loudly, "Next, we will proceed to the most important part of the wedding ceremony … bowing to the heavens and earth!"
"First, bow to the heavens and earth —"
The master of ceremonies dragged out his voice, indicating for Long Yang and Su Mengqi to bow down.
After a moment, Su Mengqi followed Long Yang and bowed slightly, causing the surrounding audience to boil.
"Second, bow to the parents —"
Long Yang pulled the red cloth, leading Su Mengqi to stand in the sky and bowed again.
The surrounding audience boiled again.
"Husband and wife … bow to each other —"
Long Yang pulled the red cloth again, standing opposite Su Mengqi in the middle of the high platform. He looked at Su Mengqi with a warm smile and said with a voice full of emotion:
"Holy Concubine, after this bow, we will be a true husband and wife."
Su Mengqi didn't say anything, but under the red cloth, her jade-like hands were tightly clenched.
Because of the strength, her two delicate arms were constantly trembling. Her smooth nails were deeply pierced into her flesh, causing warm blood to seep out and drip down.
Under the red silk veil, Su Mengqi closed her eyes in despair and muttered in her heart, "Yun Fan, I'm sorry …"
After saying that, she was about to bow down with Long Yang.
However, at this moment, the cry of a bird suddenly came from the sky, resounding through the heavens and the earth, reverberating in everyone's ears.
"Ji —"
For a moment, everyone's gaze focused on the source of the sound.
Even the master of ceremonies on the stage, as well as Long Yang and Su Mengqi, looked towards the sky.
In the sky, there seemed to be two giant eyes moving, locking in that direction.
Under everyone's gazes, a black dot appeared on the distant horizon.
Then, the black dot gradually grew bigger, and in a few breaths' time, it flew above the Burning Heaven Sect, allowing everyone to clearly see that it was a great roc!
The great roc covered the sky and the sun, looking extraordinarily handsome.
Everyone also noticed that at this moment, on the back of the roc, stood the figure of a young man.
The young man held a golden scepter in his hand, his back straight, like an unsheathed sharp sword.
His gaze fell, affectionately looking at Su Mengqi on the stage, and said with a faint smile: "Master's wife, I've come to marry you."
