The wedding was livestreamed by the sister, revealing his identity as a Taoist priest.

At 6:30 a.m., Chen Xiaoyu was awakened by birdsong.

She opened her eyes, stared at the crystal chandelier above her head for three seconds, and then suddenly sat up.

I didn't dream.

She did indeed sleep at the Shen family's house.

The sheets were silk, the pillows were latex, and the quilt wrapped around her felt like a cloud.

Lin Keke was still sleeping next to him, in a very relaxed posture, with drool soaking a part of the pillowcase.

Chen Xiaoyu poked her.

"stand up."

"Stop fooling around... just five more minutes of sleep..."

"Your drool got onto someone's silk pillowcase."

Lin Keke sprang to her feet, looked down at the pillowcase, and her face turned pale.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no! How much did this pillowcase cost? Can I afford to pay for it?"

"We can't afford to pay it back; neither of you has enough kidneys."

"What should we do then!"

"Flip it over."

The two finished getting ready and went downstairs, turning three corners in the corridor, almost getting lost.

Finally, an older woman in a uniform led them to the restaurant.

The moment the restaurant door opened, Chen Xiaoyu's feet were planted firmly on the ground.

A long table covered with a snow-white tablecloth.

What's on the table?

Matsutake mushroom and chicken soup, glistening with golden oil.

The freshly baked French croissant came with three kinds of jam on the side, with the labels indicating their place of origin: one from France, one from Italy, and one from a country she had never heard of.

Four glasses of freshly squeezed juice, each a different color, garnished with mint leaves.

The silver cutlery had a logo on the bottom of the porcelain plate that she didn't recognize but instinctively felt was expensive.

There was also a bowl of millet porridge.

A dish of pickled vegetables and a dish of peanuts were placed next to the millet porridge.

Shen Nianqing was already sitting at the table. When she saw the two of them come in, she smiled.

"Knowing you might not be used to Western food, I asked the kitchen to add some porridge and side dishes."

Chen Xiaoyu sat down and picked up the bowl of millet porridge.

The porridge is good porridge.

The rice grains were plump, and a layer of rice oil formed on the surface of the porridge, clearly indicating that it was slow-cooked in a clay pot.

But her mind was racing, calculating the price of everything on the table.

Forget it...

Can't figure it out.

That's beyond the scope of the curriculum.

Lin Keke was stunned, holding the croissant in her hand, but she didn't dare to take a bite.

"This bread... I saw it online, it costs over a hundred yuan, right?"

Shen Nianqing smiled and shook her head.

"Don't think about that, just eat."

Chen Xiaoyu silently drank her porridge, with only one thought in her mind.

Bro, what kind of incredible luck did you have?

Halfway through my porridge, the restaurant door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Nian Qing! Nian Qing Nian Qing Nian Qing!"

A girl rushed in like the wind.

She has short hair, big eyes, and is wearing an oversized sweatshirt and slippers.

"Gu Xingluo, can't you walk normally?"

Shen Nianqing didn't even raise her head.

"Normal my foot!"

The girl named Gu Xingluo plopped down next to Shen Nianqing, her eyes wide open.

"I saw the trending topics! The whole internet is in an uproar, you know that?! You got engaged and you didn't tell me! Am I your best friend or just an online friend?!"

"I was so busy I forgot."

"Too busy to remember???"

"Am I still your dearest best friend?!"

Shen Nianqing put down her chopsticks and looked at her.

"Are you done talking?"

"No!"

Gu Xinglu slammed her hand on the table.

"Who exactly is your fiancé? There are a hundred different versions circulating online, and the Lu, Zhou, and He families have all denied it. So who is he?"

Shen Nianqing glanced at Chen Xiaoyu.

"This is his sister, Chen Xiaoyu."

Gu Xingluo turned her head sharply and stared at Chen Xiaoyu for three seconds.

Hello, hello.

She grabbed Chen Xiaoyu's hand and shook it vigorously, like pumping water.

"Who is your brother? What does he do?"

Chen Xiaoyu felt dizzy from being shaken.

"My brother... is just an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people? Ordinary people from what area?"

"From the mountains."

Gu Xingluo stopped.

She slowly turned her head to look at Shen Nianqing, her cherry-like mouth agape.

Shen Nianqing picked up the juice and took a sip.

Gu Xinglu remained silent for five seconds.

Then she slapped her thigh.

"Awesome."

Chen Xiaoyu was taken aback.

"I knew it!"

Gu Xingluo's eyes lit up instead.

"Someone like Nianqing, would she even look at the likes of the Lu, Zhou, and He families? If she's going to find someone, she'll definitely find someone completely different from their circle!"

She leaned close to Shen Nianqing's ear, lowering her voice but still managing to keep it down.

"Is he handsome?"

Shen Nianqing didn't answer, but the tips of her ears turned a little red.

Gu Xinglu understood immediately and let out a shout.

"Okay, okay, I get it!"

She gulped down a glass of juice, then suddenly remembered something and pulled her phone out of her pocket.

"Oh, right, it's important! There's a fashion show the day after tomorrow, a really high-profile one, featuring the debut of autumn/winter collections from top global designers, at the Jianglan Center in the west of the city."

She swiped the screen twice to show the invitation.

"Let's go together, I've gotten tickets for all of you."

She glanced at Chen Xiaoyu and Lin Keke.

"You two come along too, it's a good opportunity to go out for a stroll."

Chen Xiaoyu hesitated.

In that kind of situation, she didn't even know what to wear.

Shen Nianqing noticed her concerns, reached out and grasped her wrist gently.

"I'll take you to pick out some clothes this afternoon."

"No, no, no..."

Chen Xiaoyu waved her hand repeatedly.

"You are my future sister-in-law."

Shen Nianqing looked at her, her tone leaving no room for refusal but her eyes were very gentle.

"It's only natural to dress nicely."

Chen Xiaoyu's refusal stuck in her throat; she couldn't say it.

Lin Keke frantically winked at him from the side.

Go for it! What are you waiting for!

Chen Xiaoyu took a deep breath and nodded.

Then she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

"Sister-in-law! Coco and I do live streaming. When my brother delivers the betrothal gifts... can I do a live stream?"

Shen Nianqing raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I just want my parents to see it too!"

Chen Xiaoyu added.

"They're in their hometown and can't come, so I wanted to show them how influential my brother is."

Shen Nianqing thought for a moment and then smiled.

"Can."

Chen Xiaoyu clenched her fist and silently gave a "yes".

Lin Keke kicked her foot under the table, and the two looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement.

What they didn't know was that this live stream would later be known across the internet as "the most outrageous live stream event of the year."

……

Thousands of miles away.

Taiqing Palace, Purple Mansion Elixir Room.

Three sheets of Taiyi Star Paper were laid flat on the long rosewood table.

The autumn-hair thunder bamboo brush rests on the brush holder.

Master Xuanmo stood before the long table, his hands behind his back, staring at the three pieces of paper for the entire time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"nice one."

He uttered two words.

Elder Zhang stood to the side, having traveled all the way from Longhu Mountain, covered in dust but in high spirits.

"Master, Master Qin of the Qingwei Sect said that three sheets of paper are just enough: one for the marriage certificate, one for the betrothal gifts, and one for the petition to Heaven."

Master Xuanmo nodded and turned to look at the Dharma seat.

Chen Shidu sat there, with an old scroll of silk spread out in front of him.

That was a marriage certificate template from the wedding of the seventh Celestial Master three hundred years ago.

"Master, the ink is ready, the time has come."

Chen Shidu got up and walked to the long table.

He picked up the autumn-hair bamboo brush and dipped it in ink.

The moment the pen tip touches the inkwell, a layer of golden light rises from the ink.

The twelve elders stood on either side, holding their breath and concentrating.

The flames of the twelve eternal lamps inside the hall were simultaneously lowered, as if even the lamplight was bowing its head.

Chen Shidu put pen to paper.

With the first stroke, the dormant points of light on the Taiyi Star Paper suddenly lit up.

The light spots traveled and converged along the strokes of the pen, and as each character was written, the strokes turned from black to gold.

The brushstrokes flowed like dragons and snakes, completed in one go.

Celestial Master Chen Shidu betrothed Shen Nianqing to him.

A strong wind suddenly arose outside the palace.

Taiqing Palace is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and the wind surges up from the bottomless abyss, enveloping the entire Taoist temple.

Amidst the clouds and mist, the faint sound of bells could be heard.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the bells of all the temples and Taoist monasteries rang simultaneously.

Elder Zhang's legs went weak, and he grabbed a pillar next to him for support.

"This...this is the resonance of heaven and earth?"

Master Xuanmo clasped his hands together in front of him, tears streaming down his face.

He lived for ninety-seven years and finally saw it with his own eyes.

The Heavenly Master wrote the marriage certificate, and Heaven and Earth were moved by it.

Chen Shidu finished writing the last character and put down his pen.

On the Taiyi Starry Sky Paper, starlight flows across the entire page, and every word shines.

He glanced at the marriage certificate, his gaze lingering on the three characters "Shen Nianqing" for a long time.

"Summon your disciples."

"Change into the Celestial Master's robes."

"Prepare betrothal gifts."

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

"Tomorrow, send me a job!"
