Chapter 416: The Grand Wedding!

  Behind the bride, Nan Yanran and Xiao Yixian, dressed as attendants, handed over a red ribbon while teasing Gu He.

  “We’ll settle scores with you ter!”

  Gu He feigned anger and grabbed the ribbon from their hands with a smile.

  “Yun’er, shall we go?” Gu He said gently to Yun Yun.

  “Yes, husband.”

  Yun Yun, her face hiddeh a red veil, nodded lightly.

  The newlyweds then walked hand in hand, slowly making their way to the wedding stage uhe gaze of tless onlookers.

  “Haha, today marks the marriage of my beloved apprentice. I deeply thank all of you for traveling from afar to attend. On behalf of Yu, I express my gratitude!”

  On the wedding stage, Yun Shan beamed as he looked at the couple below and then raised his voice to address the guests in the square.

  Hearing Yun Shan’s words, waves of gratutory cheers echoed across the crowd.

  “Yun’er is the curre Master of Yu, a position of siderable status. However, with Gu He’s standing and aplishments, he is a perfect match. Truly, a unioween equals,” Yun Shan remarked with a satisfied smile.

  Below the stage, Gu He busied himself responding to the gratutions p in, uo ceal the joy on his face.

  “Today, I officially announce before all of you that my cherished apprentice Yun Yun is now married to Gu He!”

  Yun Shan gnced down at the couple, who were surrounded by well-wishers, and decred with a smile.

  The square erupted once again with waves of cheers and gratutions aimed at the couple on the wedding stage.

  Gng at the sky, Yun Shan waved his hand and ughed heartily.

  “The auspicious hour has arrived. Let the wedding begin!”

  At that moment, the celebratory atmosphere across Yu reached its absolute peak.

  Amid the deafening cheers, Gu He held Yun Yun’s delicate hand and guided her to the wedding stage.

  Beh the red veil, Yun Yun’s beautiful face radiated pure happiness.

  The rest of the wedding ceremony proceeded smoothly in an atmosphere of joy aivity.

  Toward the end, Yu distributed thank-you gifts to the guests, creating a wave of excitement. Every guest, regardless of status—down to children brought by attendees—received a fourth-tier medial pill.

  The distribution of thousands of fourth-tier pills was an unpreted gesture iire Jia Ma Empire.

  “No wohey call him Gu He the Alchemy Master. This wedding surpasses even the grandeur of royal ceremonies.”

  “Of course. Do you think the current royal family pare to Yu? With their power—three Dou Aor-level entities—there are few forces in the Northwest tihat rival them.”

  Iingly, after the wedding, nearly a hundred promi figures in the Jia Ma Empire approached to propose marriages fu He’s three disciples.

  For Liu Ling, tless noble families sought to marry off their unmarried daughters to him. Even Jia Xing Tian, the imperial elder, shamelessly suggested making Liu Ling the royal son-in-w and bringing him into the pace.

  For Nan Yanran, following the resolution of her three-year agreement with Xiao Yan, many families turo Nan Jie, Nan Su, and Gu He to propose marriages for her.

  Even Qing Lin, typically reserved, drew offers from various families hoping te an early e with her.

  The only exception was Xiao Yixian. No family dared to propose such a matter to a Dou Aor-level powerhouse. Furthermore, i days, Jia Xing Tian, Hai Bodong, and Fa Ma received shog news from spies they had sent to the Chu Yun Empire.

  The spies reported that the entire Chu Yun Empire had been unified under a new sect called the Poiso. Its leader was a woman, and based on Xiao Yixian’s remarks arength, they deduced that the female ruler of the Poiso was her than Gu He’s sed disciple, Xiao Yixian.

  This realizatiht a newfound sense of reveren their iions with Xiao Yixian.

  Gu He maintained a sistent attitude toward the families proposing marriages for his disciples. He firmly believed that the lifelong matters of his disciples should not be decided solely by him. After Liu Ling, Nan Yanran, and Qing Lin expressed their preferences, Gu He politely deed all the suitors. The only exception was Jia Xing Tian, to whom he offered a bit of face, suggesting that if Liu Ling could bee a royal son-in-w instead ing the prio Yu, there might still be a ce.

  However, Jia Xing Tian had his own siderations. His iion in making Liu Ling a royal son-in-w was to bind him to the royal family. If the princess were married into Yu instead, the intended effect would be signifitly diminished.

  “Mr. Gu He, Yao Ye is being groomed as the royal heir. Having her marry into Yu would indeed be inappropriate…”

  Jia Xing Tian expined his reasoning, and the matter was left unresolved.

  As the wedding s clusion, some guests began to take their leave. After the ba ended, Gu He and Yun Yuuro their bridal chamber.

  “Yuoday we are married!”

  Ihe bridal chamber, Gu He gently lifted the red veil c Yun Yun’s fad leaned in to kiss her beautiful visage.

  “Husband, Yanran and the others are still outside!”

  As Gu He moved closer, Yun Yun raised her palm to block his lips, pyfully scolding him.

  Gu He was truly joyous today, and the wine he had ed was still affeg him slightly, leaving him in a mild state of intoxication. Only now, after Yun Yun’s reminder, did he notice the otion outside the window.

  “Did they kiss yet, Senior Sister? Let me have a look.”

  Outside the window, Qing Lin curiously urged Nan Yanran.

  “Fine, fine, just one look.”

  With that, Nan Yanran moved aside, revealing a small hole in the wooden wall—a little peephole they had deliberately created some time ago.

  Qing Lin stood oiptoes, excitedly peering through the tiny opening.

  “Ah!”

  The moment Qing Lin peeked, she let out a startled cry and quickly backed away.

  “What happened, Junior Sister? Don’t tell me you saw somethiing!”

  “I want to see too!”

  Hearing Qing Lin’s rea, Nan Yanran, Liu Ling, and Xiao Yixian all expressed their curiosity.

  However, just as they spoke, another shadoeared among those cast by the ntern light hem.

  “Run! We’ve been discovered!”

  Notig the shadow, Liu Ling shouted and bolted without looking back.

  “Senior Brother, wait for us!”

  Nan Yanran, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin quickly realized what had happened and, amid ughter and teasing, dashed off as well.

  “These little troublemakers…”

  Watg Liu Ling and the others scamper away, Gu He shook his head with a smile. After a brief chuckle, he calmly re-ehe bridal chamber.

  This time, he set up a sealing formation ihe room to ehey wouldn’t be disturbed again.

  “Yun’er, shall we… begin our wedding night?”

  Removing his red ceremonial robe, Gu He sloroached Yun Yun, who was sitting at the bedside…
