The next evening.
The red wedding candles illuminated the room as bright as day. The big red "Xi" character was pasted on the stone wall, creating a joyous atmosphere.
The huge stone table was filled with sumptuous food and wine. Thirteen huge stone chairs were lined up on both sides. Under the flickering candlelight, Ye Fan, who was dressed in a red robe, was overjoyed. Fujiwara No Chiko, who was wearing a phoenix coronet and a wedding gown, was bashful.
The pale-faced scholar with a calm expression, Jinchan with a complicated mood, Xiao Zhao with a forced smile, and Ye Kong and Ye Yun with a heavy heart sat around the stone table. After the two of them received Ye Fan's messenger pigeon, they immediately rushed here without stopping.
It was a joyous occasion for their grandchildren to get married. However, Ye Yun and Ye Kong could not feel happy at this moment. It was not that they felt that Fujiwara No Chiko was not worthy of Ye Fan. It was just that she was from Japan, an outsider. If she married Ye Fan, Ye Fan would not have the qualifications to compete for the position of the head of the Ye family in the future. When they thought of this, the father and son felt as if a fishbone was stuck in their throats. Especially Ye Yun, when he saw his beloved Jinchan sitting in front of him, he thought of the days he spent with Jinchan. He also thought of his father's last wish that prevented the two of them from getting married. Ye Yun's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He picked up his wine cup and took a big gulp.
Jinchan was the same. The man she loved was right in front of her, as if it was just yesterday. When she thought of how she had been alone for the past few decades, tossing and turning every day without sleep, Jinchan also had mixed feelings. She also picked up her wine cup and drank by herself.
The pale-faced scholar's face was calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy. He looked at the pair of beautiful women in front of him, as if he was thinking about some past events.
The one who was the most upset was Xiao Zhao. Ever since Brother Kim told her that he had found Eldritch's reincarnation, she had been waiting day and night for Brother Ye in Lingyun Cave. He thought that his happiness was right in front of him, but who would have thought that Fujiwara No Chiko would suddenly appear halfway. Although she was now Baihu, she had already cultivated into a human body. She was kind by nature and did not show any sadness. Instead, she stood up with a smile and poured wine for everyone present. She was already trying her best to hide it. Other than the pale-faced scholar and Ye Fan, no one knew that she had cried for an entire night in the Full Moon Pavilion at the peak of Feng Ming Mountain. Even when she was cooking in the kitchen, she was crying.
Among everyone present, other than Ye Fan and Fujiwara No Chiko, everyone had their own thoughts. For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
"Brother Ye," the pale-faced scholar broke the silence. He stood up and picked up his wine cup. "Today is your big day. I wish you two a happy and happy couple. I wish you two a happy and happy life." After he finished speaking, he downed the wine in his cup.
"Thank you, Big Brother." Ye Fan said as he also raised his cup. "Chiko is poisoned and cannot drink. Today, I will drink on her behalf." After speaking, he drank two cups of wine in succession.
Ye Fan actually understood the distress of everyone present. His father, Ye Kong, and grandfather, Ye Yun, hoped that he could inherit the Ye Clan in the future. Jinchan felt complicated after seeing Ye Yun, and Brother Kim originally wanted to matchmake him and Xiao Zhao. As for Xiao Zhao, in fact, when he first met Xiao Zhao, he already understood Xiao Zhao's feelings for him.
Last night, he had been meditating. Because he had completely recovered his spiritual power, his five senses were abnormally sharp. He could clearly hear Xiao Zhao's heart-wrenching cries on the peak of Feng Ming Mountain. He really wanted to go up and comfort her, but he knew that if he comforted her, it would be counterproductive. Now, the best thing to do was to pretend to be confused. Perhaps after he and Fujiwara No Chiko were married, Xiao Zhao would give up.
"Fan Er, granny also salutes you." Jinchan also stood up and raised her glass. "Although you and granny have only known each other for a few days, you have a good temper. Granny wishes the two of you to grow old together and be united forever." After speaking, she drank the wine in one gulp.
"Ye Fan is eternally grateful for granny's life-saving grace." Ye Fan said as he drank two more cups. The wine in the glass was the "Hundred Flowers Drunk" that Eldritch had brewed in the past. In addition, the glass was not small. After drinking four cups, he was already a little drunk and his face was flushed. He took the wine jug and filled the two cups. Then, he raised the cup and walked in front of Xiao Zhao.
"Little Sister Xiao Zhao." Ye Fan said drunkenly, "Brother Ye salutes you." As he spoke, his body swayed and he almost fell.
Xiao Zhao hurriedly supported Ye Fan. "Brother Ye, you drank too much."
"Hahaha …" Ye Fan waved his hand. "Brother Ye is not drunk. Big Brother Ye … I'm sorry … "After Ye Fan said this, he suddenly drank the wine in his hand in one gulp. Then, he drank another cup.
"Brother Ye …" Xiao Zhao looked at Ye Fan with heartache. After a moment, she also drank the wine in her hand. Two drops of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and disappeared in an instant. She did not want others to see her tears, so she used a spell to hide them.
After Ye Fan finished drinking, he staggered and turned around. He faced Ye Yun and Ye Kong and knelt on the ground with a thud.
Ye Yun and Ye Kong were silent.
"Grandfather, Father," Ye Fan said. "Ye Fan is unfilial. He married a woman from another clan and let you down." After speaking, he kowtowed three times. After that, he raised his head and said, "It doesn't matter if the Ye Clan doesn't have Ye Fan, but if Chiko doesn't have Ye Fan, her life will be in danger. Most importantly, I really like her. "
Ye Kong and Ye Yun could not sit still anymore. They stood up and helped Ye Fan up.
"Fan Er, don't say anymore. Today is your big day. Let's put aside the rules. Today can only be described in one word: happy!" Ye Kong understood Ye Fan's feelings. "Come," Ye Kong raised his wine cup. "Let's drink together!"
"Fan Er," Ye Yun also raised his wine cup. "You're better than Grandfather. Live happily!"
"Cheers!" The three of them drank the wine in one gulp. After that, they laughed loudly.
The awkward atmosphere from before was instantly swept away.
"Brother Jin, you're really not kind. Why didn't you tell me about such a big happy occasion?" Just as everyone was about to eat, a young man's voice suddenly came from outside the door. As soon as he finished speaking, a white-robed scholar appeared at the door with a smile.
"Hahahaha …" The pale-faced scholar laughed and stood up. "Brother Bai, why didn't you stay in the sky? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you've also been hooked by this Hundred Flowers Drunk! Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules of the heavens by coming down to the lower realm without permission? Hahaha … "
"Brother Jin, what are you saying?" The white-robed scholar slowly walked towards the stone table. "No matter what, I've received so many years of incense from the Ye Clan. Furthermore, the person holding the wedding is Brother Jin's sworn brother. How can I not come to support?"
"Grandfather, Father," Ye Fan saw that the Sky Dragon had personally arrived, so he quickly stood up and said to Ye Yun and Ye Kong, "This is the benefactor that our Ye Clan has worshipped for generations."
