Chapter 1253: Chapter 680: Double Wedding Ceremony (2-in-1) (Part 3)
This kind of talisman can make the person under its influence have an excess of yang energy, enough to counter various psychological methods, but it also leads to the generation of an aura of hostility, and frequent use can easily result in losing one’s reason.
However, since it has been removed, there’s no longer any major problem. Chen Yi thought so.
Min Ning’s long-suppressed hostility seemed to crumble in an instant. She pressed against her forehead, feeling somewhat unaccustomed and unable to understand why her anger disappeared without a trace.
As she pondered, a sudden loud sound was heard. It turned out Chen Yi had slapped the table suddenly, as if making a dramatic courtroom impact.
He sat upright in his chair, trying his best to maintain a solemn expression,
"Now that things have come to this point, the truth is clear. Min Ning, I’m asking you, was this entanglement due to a misunderstanding of the Prince of Annan?"
Min Ning was startled by the question. As she raised her eyes, her gaze passed over Qin Qingluo’s indifferent yet straightforward face, finally settling on Chen Yi.
Her emotions surged like tidal waves; she indeed misunderstood Qin Qingluo, but she did not misunderstand Chen Yi!
He concealed his past, maneuvering among various women, taking advantage left and right, which was condemnable. A thousand words of blame, complaint, and disappointment were blocked in her chest... but ultimately, under the emptiness left behind as the invisible talisman dissipated, and under Chen Yi’s gaze, she realized that all her emotions had nowhere to anchor.
After a long silence, she finally took a deep breath, suppressing all the surging emotions, her throat moving slightly, she uttered one word:
"...Yes."
Chen Yi looked at her eyes, which had returned to clarity yet couldn’t hide their dimness, feeling a complex sense of guilt arise.
But he also knew that at such a time, he must not hesitate; the arrow has left the bow, and it must reach its end.
Since he didn’t want to push Min Ning away, nor could he neglect Qin Qingluo, why not rule that Min Ning and Qin Qingluo both marry and be wed to the same person?
After all, since I’ve played the role of the Yin Official today and tried a case, why not go all the way and rule in a case unprecedented in history?
"In that case, the case is clear. The Prince of Annan, Qin Qingluo, is not guilty of ’stealing someone’s beloved and forcefully taking a wife.’ However, due to an unfortunate mistake, the entanglement runs deep. In a trio, there is bound to be one wounded... uh, no, I mean, the matters of the heart cannot be forcibly separated by human power."
He paused, meeting the focused gazes of the two women, and, bracing himself, threw out the lingering thought:
"I hereby rule that Min Ning and Qin Qingluo, since both of you have a destined connection with him and have... uh, compatible temperaments, that you should both marry and be wed to one person, together creating a bond like Ehuang and Nu Ying, thus avoiding today’s conflict, what do you say?"
"......"
"......"
A moment of silence followed.
Chen Yi originally thought there would be no response, but after a long time, two separate voices eventually came:
"Alright."
"...Alright."
Both women actually agreed, each taking a step back for him. Chen Yi felt struck, stunned for a moment, and then couldn’t help but smile—so unrestrained that he couldn’t hold it in.
After overcoming countless difficulties and obstacles, he finally had the happiness of having both women.
The two women, holding the wedding cups, came forward slowly as the candlelight flickered, casting shadows near and far.
Suddenly, the candlelight was blown out by a gust of wind, instantly dimming the scene and blurring the faces of the two women.
Chen Yi quickly picked up a nearby candlestick, and swiftly lit it. As the flame rose, flickering with a few rings of white light, he suddenly felt as if there was an extra person. When he looked up abruptly, he saw a one-armed woman appearing faintly before him.
"Master, are you here for the wedding too?"
Chen Yi halted for a moment, then continued:
"Didn’t I already marry you?"
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the one-armed woman wavered as if unstable, but she suddenly managed to control it, stepping forward.
Zhou Yitang’s usually cold face was suddenly filled with anger as she raised a finger and knocked hard on Chen Yi’s head,
"Fool! Haven’t you realized something’s not right?!"
Suddenly, a roar in his ear rang out like an enlightening blow, prompting Chen Yi to look to both sides. Whether it was the bright red and purple of the bridal chamber or the curtain screens, all quickly lost their colors, becoming solidified.
All colors merged into a vast swirl of black and white, like a monochrome painting, deathly still and solidified...
Recognizing this unexpectedly familiar scene, Chen Yi instantly came to a realization.
"You’ve always been wishful thinking, you never really left the World of Ignorance!"
