Chapter 1506: Chapter 165 Instant Enlightenment_4
Xuan Yue trembled all over and looked at her most respected grandfather, whispering, "Thank you for your blessings, Grandpa. I will definitely be happy." After saying this, she left the Temple of Light with her parents.
Returning home with their daughter, Sasha smiled and said, "Time truly flies! Yue Yue, the memory of my wedding with your father is still vividly fresh, yet here we are, my daughter is about to be married. To be honest, I can’t bear to part with you!" Yue Yue was her only daughter, a source of immeasurable affection for both Sasha and Xuan Ye. As she spoke, Sasha’s eyes reddened, and she choked back tears, pulling Xuan Yue’s delicate frame into her embrace. Feeling the warmth of maternal love, Xuan Yue pressed tightly against her mother’s chest, her heart suffused with warmth.
Xuan Ye laughed heartily and said, "Sasha, Yue Yue isn’t marrying far away. You can still see her every day! She’ll always be our daughter."
Sasha shot her husband a glare and chided, "How can that be the same? Once she’s married, she’ll be someone else’s wife. As the saying goes, marriage changes everything. No matter what, it won’t be like before. Yue Yue is still so young; there’s no need to rush her into marrying." Stroking her daughter’s blue hair, Sasha felt a tremor in her heart, her reluctance to let go growing ever more intense.
Xuan Ye walked over to the two of them and pulled them both into his embrace, speaking gently, "To be honest, I can’t bear to let Yue Yue go either. But children grow up, and eventually, they must start their own families. That’s a natural outcome. Yue Yue, get some rest early tonight. Tomorrow, you will undoubtedly be the most beautiful bride. Across the entire continent, no one will surpass my daughter. That young man Ballon is truly fortunate."
Xuan Yue bit her lower lip, bowed her head, and said, "Dad, how are the wedding preparations coming along? Is everything still going smoothly?" She had spent the past few days in solitary cultivation and didn’t concern herself at all with the wedding plans with Ballon. Only now, with the wedding imminent, did she subconsciously ask about the arrangements.
Xuan Ye nodded and replied, "Don’t worry, everything is proceeding smoothly. You are the Church’s most precious treasure—granddaughter of the Pope, great-niece of the Judgment Chief, and my daughter. As a stand-in Red Robe Priest, your titles alone make it impossible for the wedding to be anything but grand. On top of that, the Ba Family also holds great influence within the Church. Your Uncle Ba, as the Deputy Judge, is well-supported by his subordinates. The wedding plans were finalized ages ago. You wouldn’t believe how eager Ballon has been—handling everything personally to ensure your satisfaction. He’s worked himself so hard these past few days that he’s lost weight. Poor boy. The invitations went out ten days ago, and guests from all over the continent have already arrived. Nearly every significant figure has come to attend your wedding, including the Emperor of the Sunset Empire, Quan Yi, their State Preceptor, Wind Magician Byinlog, and even the Emperor of the Tian Jing Empire’s delegation, led by their most authoritative State Preceptor, Fire Magus Larthas. That old Larthas brought many magic masters, and when I met him yesterday, he promised to release magical fireworks to celebrate your wedding. The leaders of all major races in the Federation have also arrived: three elders from various Yajin Tribe clans, the Yajin Clan Leader Di Ya and their four elders, the Clan Leader of the Red Charming Clan, the Clan Leader of the Pu Yan Clan and their Prophet, the Xi Bo Clan Leader, as well as the Elf Princess and two Great Elf Envoys—all are here. Even the Empire of Washington, which normally doesn’t have close ties with the Church, sent a delegation from the Tian Gang Sword Sect to congratulate you. It seems that aside from the Sword Saint of Tian Gang, all major figures from the Sword Sect and the Empire of Washington are here—including their Marshal Feng Wen, who oversees their entire military forces. The Mage Guild President has also arrived at the Divine Mountain, bringing four elder Magicians at the Magus level. They’ve truly given the Church great face this time. Right now, the Divine Mountain of the Church has gathered most of the important figures from across the continent. The gifts alone have piled up into a mountain!"
Xuan Yue murmured, "So many people came? Even the Prophet of Pu Yan Clan is here. Does that mean Prophet Pu Lin has recovered? That’s indeed good news. But... why hasn’t he come?" Xuan Yue’s voice was low, but Xuan Ye still caught it and frowned, saying, "Who hasn’t come? Which faction on this continent hasn’t sent someone?"
Xuan Yue’s heart tightened, and she quickly shook her head, saying, "No, it’s nothing. I’m just happy for Prophet Pu Lin’s recovery. After all, Prophet Pu Lin is one of the continent’s three Magicians. His recovery is surely good for our future efforts to counter the Dark Forces. So many people have arrived—who is responsible for hosting them now?"
Xuan Ye smiled and said, "Although our Church holds a ruling position on the continent, we must still treat the leaders of various factions with respect, especially since they’ve come to celebrate. Both Red Robe Priests Mang Siu and Yu Jian, along with Deputy Judge Ballon, are personally overseeing their reception. All guests have been arranged to rest on the Divine Mountain. Besides these distinguished figures, over a million faithful have gathered around the outer areas of the Divine Mountain to pray earnestly for you. Yue Yue, your wedding will be far grander than your mother’s and mine."
Xuan Yue’s eyes flashed with a hint of sorrow. She freed herself from her mother’s embrace and said, "Tomorrow is the wedding day. I’d like to return to my room and rest. Mom, Dad, you should rest early too."
