Chapter 595: Chapter 165 Instant Enlightenment_5
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "Yes! We really need to rest well today, as tomorrow’s wedding will certainly be busy. Nasha, you have prepared Yue Yue’s wedding dress, so rise early tomorrow to dress her up. Sister Luo Shui should also be coming. Yue Yue, you should go and rest now. Don’t practice tonight, just have a good sleep."
Xuan Yue nodded and returned to her room. As soon as she stepped through the door, she could no longer hold back her sorrow, and tears ran down her face. It’s been exactly a year, during that time, apart from encountering him once at Mang Siu’s ceremony a few months ago, there had been no news of him. Now that the Grim Reaper has appeared again in the Empire of Sunset City, it must be him seeking revenge. Probably all he sees now is hatred, and he has long forgotten about me. The plan that master Lu Wen laid out back then is probably impossible to carry out now, he won’t come, he really won’t. Why did I fall for him in the first place? Ah Dai, Ah Dai, where are you? The pain in her heart surged up like a spring, and Xuan Yue collapsed onto the bed sobbing.
Could it be, am I really going to marry Balloon? No, I won’t. If Ah Dai doesn’t appear tomorrow, I’ll remain alone for the rest of my life, never seeing him again. But, now that things have come to this point, can I really refuse to marry? Xuan Yue’s heart was filled with contradictions. Lowering her head, Xuan Yue’s gaze fell onto the Ring of Guardian on her hand. She remembered, this was the token of love given to her by Ah Dai! The ring is still here, but the man is lost. Are we destined to be apart? Xuan Yue wiped her tears, slowly sat down, leaned against the bedpost, and blankly stared at the Ring of Guardian. Even she didn’t know what would happen if Ah Dai didn’t show up. The people Xuan Ye mentioned coming to the wedding, at least half of them were Ah Dai’s friends or mentors, so if Ah Dai didn’t show up tomorrow, they would probably stop the wedding. Ah Dai, Ah Dai, I’ve never missed you as much as I do now, please come to me quickly, Yue Yue really misses you! As long as you can come tomorrow, I won’t mind anything else.
In the Divine Mountain’s guesthouse, where the church hosts important guests, a welcome banquet hosted by Mang Siu, Yu Jian, and Balloon was being held in the spacious three-thousand-square-meter hall. The banquet was about to start and more than ten large tables were already filled. Everyone in the hall could be considered an influential figure on the continent. The most conspicuous among them were representatives from the Empires of Huasheng, Sunset, and Tian Jing. The team representing the Empire of Huasheng was the strongest, including Chairman Kari of the continent’s Mage Guild, along with four elders and Olivia, all disciples of the second generation Tian Gang Sword Sect, led by Sect leader Xi Wen. Not only did everyone from both Sect leader Xi Wen’s team and other geographical divisions disdain the Sunset Empire’s delegation, but they didn’t even glance once at Quan Yi’s table from the Empire of Sunset City. The table of the Empire of Tian Jing included the State Preceptor Larthas, Fire Magician Gorisong, Kino, and more than a dozen magical masters from the Tian Jing Mage Guild. Yue Ji, basking in Kino’s glory, came here too. Ever since Kino displayed his prowess among the Moon Scar mercenary corps, deterring all members, Moon Scar no longer stopped his sister from being with him. Under Kino’s aggressive courtship and with Larthas acting as the matchmaker, Kino and Yue Ji’s relationship was settled. These days, Kino was always together with Yue Ji, their feelings for each other growing. Even though they weren’t quite inseparable, Yue Ji had finally accepted his love.
Quan Yi sits at the main seat, his face as calm as water. As he is of royal status, he was given the seat of honor at the front. However, not a single representative from the other factions greeted him leaving the Sunset Empire’s delegation completely isolated. Quan Yi wasn’t a broad-minded person and now he was nursing a grudge. A lot of unpleasant things had happened recently. His beloved Duke suddenly disappeared, his mansion was in shambles, and the trouble caused by the Grim Reaper guy in the gambling hall and within the Dark Forces a few years ago had disturbed the people, significantly reducing the grey income in the national treasury. These damned people today didn’t even spare him a glance, especially those from the Empire of Huasheng, they were avoiding him as if he were plague-ridden. The more Quan Yi thought about it, the angrier he got, and he squeezed the teacup in his hand until it was creaking.
