Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

The second senior brother stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, and said, "So we have a senior sister-in-law now?"

"Master, when did our eldest brother get a wife?"

The third senior brother sidled up to their master, winking and saying, "Shouldn't we be eating at the eldest senior brother's wedding banquet next time?"

The fourth senior brother curled his lip sourly and mumbled something.

"He's getting married soon, and we didn't even know? Senior Brother, you're so boring!"

The fifth senior brother drooled with envy.

"Master, look! The wife our eldest brother found is quite pretty..."

"Shen...Qingtang, please don't do this."

Chu Lingyun's face flushed a rare blush. She gently pushed Shen Qingtang away and said with pursed lips,

"I...I'm fine. I'll tell you when we get home..."

"Um... Brother Chu, it's my fault."

Shen Qingtang glanced furtively at everyone, then quickly lowered her head, biting her lower lip, and stammered, "I... I was too hasty just now..."

As her emotions calmed down, she realized she had been somewhat reckless and blushed instantly.

"It's my fault, I should have told you before I left."

Chu Lingyun shook her head, a hint of pity flashing in her melancholy eyes, and said softly, "Did I scare you?"

"Brother Chu..."

Shen Qingtang suddenly looked up, staring at him with eyes full of tears, her body trembling uncontrollably.

A huge wave of joy washed over her; this was the first time Chu Lingyun had ever shown her any concern!

Has she already taken a liking to him?

Even if it's just a tiny bit, she'll be content!

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days..."

Chu Lingyun's voice was calm, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"Ling Yun, who is this young lady?"

The master straightened his shoulders, adopting the air of an old Taoist priest, and smiled kindly, "Why don't you introduce yourself to your master?"

He tried his best to make himself appear as ethereal and otherworldly as a hermit.

Unfortunately, the Taoist robe he was wearing, which had been ripped into a sack by lightning, looked somewhat out of place and even comical.

"Qingtang greets the old Taoist priest."

Before Chu Lingyun could speak, Shen Qingtang quickly bowed.

"Brother Chu saved Qing Tang's life and is her benefactor! Now Qing Tang is Brother Chu's maid and takes care of his daily life."

Chu Lingyun hurriedly said,

"Master, Qingtang is not my servant...she is just...she is just..."

"Alright, alright, what's with all this talk about servants? We cultivators don't concern ourselves with that."

The master smiled and glanced at the two of them, then waved his hand and said, "It's too noisy here, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go."

"Yes."

Chu Lingyun responded helplessly.

"Hey, you brat, this girl is pretty good-looking. Her background is a bit bumpy, but she has the looks of someone destined for greatness, someone who will bring good fortune to her husband and children. Not bad."

As he walked up to him, his master nudged him discreetly, winking and saying, "That girl likes you so much, why don't you just accept her?"

Chu Lingyun's heart skipped a beat, and she said helplessly, "Master..."

The master shook his head and sighed, lowering his voice as he spoke.

"Some people are just not meant to be yours. Don't think about those things. The most important thing is to hold on to the person in front of you... Got it, kid?"

Chu Lingyun pursed her lips deeply.

He turned his head and glanced at Shen Qingtang, who was silently following behind him. A strange and inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart, and he was in a mess.

……

"The bride is coming out!"

With a cheer, the Anle Princess's mansion was once again engulfed in a lively atmosphere.

Although everyone was still shaken, their faces were filled with joy.

Yin Liuli changed back into her phoenix coronet and wedding gown, and was carried out by Gu Jinyan, who was dressed in a brocade robe and a large red flower on his chest.

She hadn't fully recovered her strength, and her legs felt like they were walking on cotton, making her walk unsteady.

Gu Jinyan refused to let Granny Quanfu help her out and carried her directly to the main hall.

"Bang bang bang..."

Yin Liuli lowered her head, and could almost hear her own heartbeat.

Her face flushed with shyness, her eyes only daring to stare at the tip of her nose, she lightly bit her lip, and sweat beaded on her nervous nose.

Her mother, master, and fellow disciples were all in the main hall, watching her expectantly!

"The bride and groom pay respects to their parents and elders!"

Gu Jinyan put her down and helped her kneel down at the feet of her master and mother.

"The bride and groom serve tea."

Someone handed her a teacup, and Yin Liuli's heart skipped a beat. Tears welled in her eyes, and she choked out, "..."

"Master, have some tea... Mother, have some tea."

"good……"

Master stroked his gray beard, nodded with a smile, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He took out a brocade box from his pocket, handed it to Yin Liuli, sniffed, and smiled.

"Here, this is a gift from your master to my good disciple. Please accept it..."

Curious, Yin Liuli opened the brocade box, inside which lay a silver, finely crafted thumb ring.

"Master, this..."

She quickly looked up, her clear eyes filled with surprise.

"This is the heirloom thumb ring of our Lingbao Sect, made of black iron, and is exquisitely crafted."

Master stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Today, Master will pass on our sect's most precious treasure to you!"

"Liuli, I hope you will lead my Lingbao Sect well in the future and bring glory to our sect!"

"Master, you are the true leader of our Lingbao Sect!"

Yin Liuli's heart trembled slightly, and she said with tears in her eyes, "How can Liuli shoulder such a heavy responsibility? No, I can't accept the sect leader's ring..."

"obedient!"

Master clicked his tongue and said with a face full of emotion, "Ever since you entered Xuanqing Temple, I have seen that you are a chosen one, and your spiritual energy is unmatched!"

Only you are worthy of being the leader of the Lingbao Sect. Don't let your master down!

"Master..."

With tears streaming down her face, Yin Liuli pouted and said, "Disciple will obey Master's orders!"

"Good girl... Liuli, once you leave home, you'll be a housewife. From now on, you should focus on living a peaceful life with Yan'er."

With tears streaming down her face, Madam Zhen took a sip of tea, choked out a few words of advice, and then choked up again, unable to say anything more.

"mother!"

As soon as she cried, Yin Liuli's tears became even more unstoppable.

Even though she didn't marry someone from far away, why does she feel like she's become someone else's family member after the wedding?

Even if she marries someone from the farthest reaches of the world, she will never be separated from her mother!

Perhaps it's the atmosphere that's built up, but this kind of scene always evokes a sense of sadness, like parting from loved ones...

Granny Jin quickly presented the red envelopes to the two of them.

"Young master and young lady, this is a wedding gift from the madam. Please accept it!"

Although the two residences are not far apart, remember to come back for meals often…

"Thank you, Granny! Mother, don't worry, I will definitely treat Liuli well."

Gu Jinyan accepted the red envelope with both hands, and said confidently, "Mother's cooking is so delicious, Yan'er and Liuli come back every day. I just hope Mother doesn't find it troublesome!"

"Why would Mother find it troublesome?"

Madam Zhen chuckled at his teasing, then sighed and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, your in-laws are still waiting for you to complete your wedding ceremony at the manor. Go on... go on..."

"Lift the veil, get into the bridal sedan chair, the bride is leaving..."

Zhen Shi personally placed a large red veil over Yin Liuli's head, then turned around and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, weeping.
