314: Chapter 314 Tianyao's Wedding

Yun Ling looked at Ye Jing's firm eyes and sighed with a complex expression.

"Patriarch Ye, the path outside the Luoxia Land is not a smooth one. It is guarded by Cultivators from the Buddha Realm, and there is a realm barrier. Unless one has a Golden Core cultivation, they cannot temporarily obtain permission to come and go as they please."

"Given your current cultivation, which is only at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, if you were to rashly collide with it, your spiritual power would dissipate at best, and at worst, you would suffer a Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

Ye Jing frowned slightly upon hearing this. It seemed that leaving the Luoxia Land would not be easy, but since he had the thousand void ethereal map in hand, which allowed him to safely cross between realms, he could still make it out.

However, he didn't say anything, merely nodding and burying the matter in his heart for the time being.

"Thank you for the advice, Sect Master Yun. I am not a reckless person," Ye Jing thanked him.

Yun Ling smiled at this and stroked his beard. "Patriarch Ye, why be so polite? We will soon be one Family! Your granddaughter, Ye Tianyao, is preparing to marry my sect's eldest Disciple."

Ye Jing was taken aback, then smiled. "I see. That girl is quite fast. I wonder what Young Master Lu's attitude toward the marriage is?"

Yun Ling laughed. "He said he would leave everything to Patriarch Ye's discretion. I imagine you would be very happy to take in a live-in son-in-law?"

Ye Jing was somewhat surprised, but thinking that Lu Shaoyou had no parents, marrying Tianyao would essentially make him a member of the Ye Family. However, considering his abilities, it wouldn't truly be a case of marrying into the bride's family as a subordinate.

"Sect Master Yun must be joking."

Ye Jing's tone was sincere yet measured.

"Yaoer has a stubborn personality; to be favored by Young Master Lu is her fortune."

"Whether he joins our household or not isn't something to be forced. As long as the two children are of one mind and the Ye Family and Qingyun Sect are united, that is for the best."

Yun Ling laughed heartily, a hint of joy appearing on his pale face. "That is excellent!"

After the two discussed the young couple's wedding at the mountain gate, Ye Jing immediately set off back to Lingyun Valley and told Wu Guiyun about Ye Tianyao's marriage.

Wu Guiyun was naturally happy to hear it, and even happier that Ye Xuan and Ye Yi had both broken through to Foundation Establishment and come out of seclusion.

So, Ye Jing took Ye Xuan and his wife to the Qingyun Sect to see this son-in-law.

Lu Shaoyou was indeed a man of talent, with an elegant temperament and a tall, upright stature. Coupled with his Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was a perfect match for Ye Tianyao.

The more Wu Guiyun looked at this son-in-law, the more she liked him, and she and Ye Xuan immediately agreed to the marriage.

Lu Shaoyou specially prepared five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones and a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact as a betrothal gift to specifically ask for Ye Tianyao's hand in marriage.

Marriages between Cultivators were relatively simple; once both parties agreed and bowed to Heaven and Earth, they would form a contract as Dao Companions.

However, because the Ye Family was currently on the rise and it was the marriage of his eldest granddaughter, Ye Jing naturally wanted to put on a grand show. The wedding suddenly became extremely lively.

All the noble families under the jurisdiction of the Lingxiao Sect, including the Qingyun Sect, prepared generous gifts and came to offer their congratulations.

Ye Tianyao sat in her bridal chamber, and Wu Guiyun came as usual to have some private talk with her.

Previously, she had been welcoming a bride for her eldest son, and now she was seeing her daughter off to be married. Wu Guiyun felt a mixture of emotions in her heart.

The mirror on the dressing table reflected a woman with pure features and glowing skin. A fiery red wedding dress outlined her exquisite and graceful figure, and a phoenix crown entwined with gold silk sat upon her jet-black hair.

She wore red rouge, and her eyes were painted with makeup. She had long since shed her youthful innocence, gaining a few hints of seductive charm.

Once the red bridal veil was placed over her, Ye Tianyao felt her breathing grow slightly heavier.

Outside the room at this time.

Ye Xuan, who had come out of seclusion, was hosting the guests as the head of the Family. Ye Jing sat in the main seat, watching the guests come and go.

At this moment, the Head of the Li Family, Patriarch Li Xiuhe, also arrived, followed by a young girl with an embarrassed look on her face; that was his daughter, Li Linlin.

The current Li Linlin was no longer that arrogant young girl. Ever since her father had taken the whole Family to join the Chixiao Sect, her life within the sect had been very difficult.

As it turned out, the Chixiao Sect was soon destroyed, and the Li Family lost power once again, having no choice but to depend on the Ye Family. As a result, Li Linlin now didn't even dare to look at the people of the Ye Family, becoming cautious and timid.

"Patriarch Ye, congratulations!" Patriarch Li Xiuhe said with a polite smile on his face, bowing to Ye Jing.

Ye Jing nodded and said nothing more than, "Please take a seat, Head of the Li Family."

Patriarch Li Xiuhe wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start. The Family he had once looked down upon was now so prosperous that he could no longer hope to climb up to them.

Facing Ye Jing, he was trembling with unease, and in the end, he lacked the confidence to speak his mind.

Ye Jing coldly didn't want to say much to the Li Family, simply drinking tea and welcoming the next Family head's congratulations.

The current Ye Family could be described as nothing less than illustrious. The Cultivators who came to celebrate almost filled the courtyard of the Ye Family's main hall. Whether they knew them or not, everyone wore a flattering smile.

This daze made Ye Jing unable to help but think of when he was still a Mortal. When they celebrated the completion of a new house, many people from the village had also come.

Ye Jing couldn't help but feel a sense of sentimentality. As the saying goes, once you become famous in a day, the whole world knows, and all who come and go are the powerful and noble offering congratulations.

Because it was Ye Tianyao's wedding, the younger generation of the same peer group as Ye Tianyao all gathered at home to welcome the guests.

However, the coming and going of guests was handled by Ye Xuan and Ye Yi, so these Juniors were all quite idle for a time.

Ye Tianxue had always had a quiet nature, so she found a relatively secluded courtyard to flip through a Pill Formula.

But she hadn't been quiet for long when a burst of contemptuous ridicule came from outside the bamboo grove.

"Yo! Isn't this that someone from the Li Family? Your Li Family acted as the dogs of that Chixiao Sect and offended the Ye Family, yet now you actually have the thick skin to attend the wedding of the Ye Family's young lady! Is it because you smelled the scent of meat like a dog?!"

"Exactly! If it were me, let alone attending, I'd be wishing I could hang myself on the spot!"

Ye Tianxue frowned, finding it noisy and wanting to leave.

But the mocking voices continued, and finally, a young man's furious voice came over: "All of you, shut up!"

Following that was a burst of powerful spiritual power fluctuations, immediately followed by the exclamation of another older person: "Zhengning, stop!"

Ye Tianxue sighed at the sight. Today was Sister Tianyao's wedding; she should go and persuade them to stop.

She then put the Pill Formula into her Storage Pouch and emerged from the bamboo grove.

She saw a group of noble Family children dressed in fine silk appearing ahead. Leading them were two unfamiliar young men, judging by their clothing and bearing.

They were likely children from small families newly attached to the Ye Family under the Lingxiao Sect. The two had sneers on their lips, their eyes contemptuously sweeping over the two young men surrounded in the middle.

Those two young men were the two brothers from the Li Family's concubine line; the elder was named Li Zhengxian, and the younger was named Li Zhengning.

Li Zhengning's fists were tightly clenched, his spiritual power was restless, his cheeks were flushed red, and his eyes were full of humiliation and anger. The previous outburst had come from his mouth.

And the few noble Family children who were mocking him now had their arms crossed and were sneering, showing no intention of stopping.

They were all merely Qi Refining Cultivators.

Ye Tianxue stepped forward quickly, her brows tightly knit. Her clear, cold voice rang out with an unquestionable authority: "All of you, stop!"

Her plain white dress fluttered lightly in the wind, and a faint Spiritual Qi quietly spread around her. Although she didn't deliberately exert pressure, it made the noisy group of noble children instinctively stop their talking.

Her gaze calmly swept over everyone, her voice clear and light, yet carrying an indisputable steadiness: "Today is Sister Tianyao's big day. The Ye Family is hosting a banquet for guests, not for you to cause trouble and insult people's families here."

The two leading young men in fine silk were stunned to see a young girl with a pure appearance and a quiet temperament emerge. They then recognized her as another young lady of the Ye Family, Ye Tianxue, and immediately reined in some of their arrogance.

Yet they still tried to maintain their front: "We're just telling the truth. The Li Family's dependence on the Chixiao Sect was already disgraceful..."

"Right and wrong are for the elders to decide; it's not the place for you Qi Refining Juniors to gossip here."

Ye Tianxue's tone turned slightly cold.

"If you continue to make a scene and disturb the guests, it's not just your Family's reputation that will be lost, but it's also a sign of disrespect toward the Ye Family."
