Chapter 300: Tomorrow, You Are Invincible!
Upon hearing Ye Guan's words, Qin Guan shook her head with a smile. "If it were that simple, we would have done it a long time ago."
Ye Guan smiled wryly.
Actually, he thought that the Great Daoist Brush Master was a pretty reasonable individual. Of course, he could sense that the other party wasn't simple and seemed to be planning something. A scheme from such a powerful cultivator was definitely beyond him, so he didn't want to bother with it.
His parents would handle those beyond him!
Qin Guan suddenly said, "Anyway, your marriage is more important right now. Tomorrow is your big day, so you need to prepare well tonight."
Ye Guan smiled. "Alright!"
Nalan Jia also nodded slightly, feeling both excited and a bit nervous about tomorrow.
It would be her first time, after all.
Qin Guan looked at Ye Guan and smiled. "I want to talk to your fiancee.”
Ye Guan was surprised.
Qin Guan asked, "Do you mind?”
“Sure, go ahead!” Ye Guan said with a smile before leaving.
After walking away, he inwardly asked, “Master Pagoda, can you help me eavesdrop?”
Little Pagoda asked, “Do you want me to die?”
“...” Ye Guan was speechless.
In the distance, Qin Guan held Nalan Jia's hand, and the two slowly walked side by side. Nalan Jia was staring silently at Qin Guan.
Qin Guan smiled, “Are you under a lot of pressure?”
Nalan Jia responded, “Yes!”
Qin Guan smiled and called out softly, “Little Ai!”
Little Ai appeared next to her and bowed deeply.
Qin Guan looked at Little Ai and said, “From now on, Little Jia's words are my words."
Little Ai nodded. “I understand.”
Qin Guan looked at Nalan Jia and said, “The cloth sachet contains something capable of mass destruction, and it's too strong for you to control at the moment. However, Little Ai here will help you become even stronger so you can eventually use it."
"Okay," replied Nalan Jia.
Qin Guan smiled and said, "As the wife of the Academy Master of the Guanxuan Academy, you must be both competent and strong. Without strength, some people will lose respect for you, thinking that you are easily deceived, so you should learn to handle what's inside the cloth sachet."
Nalan Jia nodded, "Okay!"
Qin Guan grinned and said, "It's going to be tough to manage two powerful superpowers, but it's okay. Take it slow; I'll be supporting you all the way."
Nalan Jia felt warm. Although they had only met twice, she could feel that Qin Guan truly regarded her as one of her own.
Qin Guan continued walking away with Nalan Jia.
"The waters of the Guanxuan Academy and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion are both muddy and deep. You are kind, which is great, but it is a double-edged sword. I want you to remember that if someone deceives you with a smile, you must be decisive when it's time to kill them. Don't show mercy!"
Qin Guan's eyes turned cold at that. She could still remember what had transpired in Little Guan City. What had happened had almost ruined her relationship with her son, so she still couldn't quite move on from it.
I did not nurture you all for you to disrespect my son.
Things hadn't changed; rather, the subject had changed. Qin Guan's forces had to respect her daughter-in-law as well. In the past, she wanted to protect everyone, but now, she only wanted to dote on her son. Nothing mattered aside from her son.
Nalan Jia nodded at Qin Guan's words and said solemnly, “I understand.”
Qin Guan was all smiles while staring at Qin Guan. She really liked her daughter-in-law.
In addition to being beautiful, she also understood the bigger picture. Moreover, Nalan Jia hadn't abandoned her son when he was at his lowest point in life. In fact, she had even tried his best to save him.
Nalan Jia's love for Ye Guan was sincere, which was why Qin Guan liked her a lot.
The two chattered happily, and they didn't look like a pair of mother and daughter-in-law; they looked more like sisters.
Ye Guan cast a curious gaze at them. What are they talking about?
It was a pity that Master Pagoda was too much of a coward to eavesdrop.
Qin Guan eventually came to a halt and turned to Ye Guan with a smile. “Come here!”
Ye Guan quickly headed over.
Qin Guan said, “I will leave you both to talk. I still have things to prepare for tomorrow.”
With that, she turned around and left.
After she left, Ye Guan turned to Nalan Jia, “What were you talking about with Mother?”
Nalan Jia held up the cloth sachet in her hand and smiled. “She wants me to learn how to use the things in this sachet.”
Ye Guan looked at it curiously and asked, “What's in there?”
Nalan Jia winked and exclaimed, “Not telling you!”
Ye Guan pursed his lips and said, “That belongs to me!”
Nalan Jia laughed. “But this is mine now!”
Ye Guan suddenly hugged her and exclaimed, “But you're mine!”
Nalan Jia instantly blushed.
Meanwhile, Little Ai chimed in, “Young Mistress, if you have no orders for me. Can I leave for the time being?”
Ye Guan and Nalan Jia immediately let go of each other.
Ye Guan chuckled sheepishly and said, “I forgot there's another person here…”
Little Ai calmly corrected. “I'm not a person.”
Ye Guan was confused. He frowned while staring deeply at Little Ai.
She's not a person? Ye Guan was confused, but he was in awe at the same time.
Little Ai smiled softly while looking at Nalan Jia. “Young Mistress, if you have any orders, you can just call my name, and I'll appear.”
With that, she vanished into thin air.
Nalan Jia looked at Ye Guan and smiled. “I'm going to the Nalan Residence.”
Ye Guan smiled as well and said, “I'll pick you up tomorrow.”
Nalan Jia grinned. “I'll be waiting for you, then.".
After Nalan Jia's departure, Ye Guan took a deep breath before returning to his residence. Ye Guan entered the world inside the tiny pagoda to cultivate, but he just couldn't get into the right mindset. His mind was filled with thoughts related to his wedding the next day.
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Master Pagoda, have you been married?”
“???” Little Pagoda was bewildered.
Ye Guan shook his head, smiling. He sat cross-legged and said seriously, “Master Pagoda, tomorrow, the True Universe and the Heaven Seizing Universe—”
"You're invincible tomorrow!" Little Pagoda interrupted.
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
…
Daybreak had just arrived, but the entire Ancient Desolate City was already bustling with activity. Ye Guan emerged slowly from the Ye Residence. Today, Ye Guan was wearing a long red robe, and a dragon crown was sitting on top of his head.
He had always been handsome, but his looks had become practically unrivaled after today's meticulous grooming.
Ye Guan stared deeply into the distance. Ye Qing, Han Zong, and the others were already waiting for him. Ye Guan was going to get married today, and they made sure to attend his wedding.
Surveying the crowd, Ye Guan saw many familiar faces.
"Brother Ye Guan!" Ye Qing led a horse toward him and smiled. “Let’s go and fetch your bride!”
Fetch my bride. Ye Guan laughed. “Let’s go!”
Ye Guan hopped onto the horse.
Ye Qing chuckled and said, “Let’s go!”
He held the reins of the horse and started walking away. Han Zong and the rest followed closely behind them, along with the excited members of the Ye Clan.
Ye Guan had chosen to get married in the Ye Clan. What did that mean? It meant Ye Guan had always thought of the Ye Clan as his home!
The Ye Clan's overall prowess was paltry at best, but they still had prestige in the Guanxuan Universe. It was a prestige born from their relationship with Ye Guan, and it made many people stare at the Ye Clan members with envy.
The Ye Clan was truly lucky! The heavens had stood by their side and had blessed them with such immense luck.
Of course, those in the know were aware that Ye Clan's current heights were only made possible by Ye Xiao's decision many years ago. If it hadn't been for his decision, the Ye Clan would have experienced a catastrophe rather than a meteoric rise.
Ye Xiao's decision and Ye Guan's existence had also become the reason the clans and sects throughout Nanzhou had become more generous to their disciples and members who were less talented than others.
After all, who could say for sure that there wouldn't be a second Ye Guan? And what if that second Ye Guan was among the less talented of their clans and sects?
Moreover, even the less talented members of their clans and sects were still members of their own clans and sects people, so the clans and sects believed that they had nothing to lose in treating a fellow sect member or clan member right. It was better to leave some room for reconciliation; one shouldn't be too ruthless.
A seemingly endless sea of people surrounded Ye Guan as he rode on a horse. The procession headed straight to the Nalan Residence. Ye Guan was flanked by the disciples of the Sword Sect under the leadership of Chen Guanzi, while Yuan Gong and Qin Xue followed closely behind him.
The entire Sword Sect had come here to witness Ye Guan's wedding.
Soon, Ye Guan arrived at the Nalan Residence.
The Nalan Residence was decorated lavishly, and the festive mood in the residence was so thick that it was palpable.
Nalan Jia clad in a phoenix dress slowly walked out of the Nalan Residence. No one could see her face at the moment, but one would be hard-pressed to find anyone who still hadn't heard of her beauty.
Nalan Jia and Ye Guan were truly a match made in heaven.
Nalan Ming and a woman walked up to Nalan Jia’s side. The two led Nalan Jia to Ye Guan.
Nalan Ming smiled at Ye Guan and said, “All I ask of you is for you to treat her well!"
Ye Guan took Nalan Jia's hand and slowly knelt down together.
Nalan Ming quickly moved to stop him. “There is no need to do this. Please don't…"
Ye Guan was the King of the Guanxuan Universe; he was also the son of the Sword Master and Pavilion Master Qin. How could he let him kneel?
However, Ye Guan insisted.
Today, he was just Ye Guan; he wasn't the King of the Guanxuan Universe.
In addition, he truly had a lot of respect for the Nalan Clan.
He could still remember how the Nalan Clan hadn't chosen to kick him when he was down and had come to end the betrothal between him and Nalan Jia.
Nalan Ming felt anxious upon seeing Ye Guan slowly kneeling toward him.
He couldn't help but feel self-conscious. He was surrounded by powerful cultivators on Ye Guan's side, after all.
Eventually, Ye Guan and Nalan Jia bowed deeply toward Nalan Ming.
Ye Guan said, “Father, Mother, I'll treat Little Jia well.”
Nalan Ming moved to make Ye Guan stand up. He then grinned and exclaimed, “Great!”
The woman next to him was all smiles as well. Nalan Jia's lips behind the veil were suffused with a smile upon seeing Ye Guan being so respectful toward her parents. Her eyes glimmered with warmth as she stared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan held Nalan Jia’s hand and turned.
Just in time, a wedding sedan pulled up.
Ye Guan helped Nalan Jia into the wedding sedan before hopping onto his horse.
“Let’s go!” he exclaimed.
"Brother Ye Guan, wait!" Ye Qing called out.
Ye Guan stopped and turned to look at Ye Qing in confusion.
Ye Qing sounded serious as he said, “You still haven't given the betrothal gifts!”
Ye Guan froze and felt helpless. Betrothal gifts? He had not prepared this at all. What was he going to do?
Just then, Qing Feng appeared before the Nalan Residence. He grinned before shouting, “The Yang Family’s betrothal gift is here! It's the entire Immortal Treasures Pavilion!”
The entire Immortal Treasures Pavilion!
The witnesses were dumbstruck. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion's value was… as good as immeasurable! It was a gift so valuable that it exceeded the combined value of the Sword Master's betrothal gifts when he got married.
The witnesses found it all too surreal upon realizing that no wedding in the past nor in the future would be more grand and lavish than today's wedding.
Some members of the Nalan Clan fainted from delight upon hearing Qin Feng's declaration. The entire Immortal Treasures Pavilion was the betrothal gift!
Of course, they were aware that the gift belonged to Nalan Jia alone, but she was still a member of the Nalan Clan. She just had to help them, and the entire Nalan Clan would soar to infinity and beyond!
The clan members cheered in joy, but Nalan Ming immediately put a halt to their cheers.
Qing Feng brought a black box over to Nalan Ming. He smiled with utmost respect and said, “This is Pavilion Master Qin's gift to the Nalan Clan. This will protect the Nalan Clan for thousands of years.”
Nalan Ming hesitated before saying, “Thank you.”
With that, he accepted the box.
Ye Guan broke out into a grin and exclaimed. “Let’s go!”
Back to the Ye Residence!
Just then, Little Pagoda’s voice echoed. “A familiar aura is coming. Fuck!”
