Madam Huan nodded, “Good. A practical name for peace and safety. The baby is well developed, and also smart, what a bundle of joy. Truly good, Little Yan’s child is so big already. I remember Little Yan was only sixteen when she left Hanging Cloud Empire, it has been about four to five years since…”
Maybe it was because Madam Huan was too excited; her arms were tightly wrapped around Little Treasure, causing him to feel slightly suffocated. Fortunately, he managed to free himself with his abilities as a Spirit Master.
He threw Madam Huan an unhappy glance before leaping into Elder Snow’s arms again.
Madam Huan was still immersed in excitement when she then noticed that Little Treasure ran away without giving her face. As she was feeling embarrassed, Bai Li Ren reminded, “Madam Huan, please sit. The wedding of Brat Ya and Little Yan will start soon, it will not be good if they missed the auspicious hour.”
“Okay!” Madam Huan quickly sat down.
The episode revolving around Madam Huan soon passed. The emcee, Plant Sage, started speaking again.
“Good, the auspicious hour has arrived. May the groom and bride step up to start the rites. The newlyweds decided to announce their union in the presence of so many people because they wanted everyone to act as their witness. To obtain your blessings for their never-ending love…”
The crowd became excited. They have been looking forwards to this moment.
“Waa waa waa. After the rites, Young Master Ya will be a married man from today onwards. Even if I am to marry him, I will only be a concubine…”
“In your dreams. Becoming a concubine? Everyone knows that Young Master Ya had made a vow to only marry Bai Li Qing Yan alone!”
Shang Qiu Meng Qian was staring at the platform above, planning to make his move.
Nan Gong Bei Cheng was putting oil into the fire beside him, “Still not taking action? Ji Mo Ya rob your Engagement Banquet last time. The dignified Young Master Shang Qiu can tolerate that?”
If not for his engagement with the lady of the Mu Rong Clan, Nan Gong Bei Cheng would be the one stepping out to snatch the bride.
Shang Qiu Meng Qian rubbed his fist and replied, “Help me hold back Ji Mo Ya later. I will carry Qing Qing and run away with her; you help me hold him down. Come to think of it, why is Bai Chen Feng not here today?”
“No problem, I will help you obstruct him for a few seconds. Bai Chen Feng that fella must be hiding in some corner to cry. Even if you get him to snatch the bride, he will not dare to. He has no backing, the Hanging Cloud Empire behind him is more of a burden, what a coward!” Nan Gong Bei Cheng encouraged.
Shang Qiu Meng Qian pondered for a moment and agreed that it was right as well.
His Shang Qiu Clan was one of the Eight Great Clans and they have a Half-Sage, though one still in seclusion. However, the Shang Qiu Clan as a whole was not to be underestimated because of their bloodline ability; regeneration. If they were not instantly killed in battle, each clan member would heal and regain their vitality like cockroaches.
As the duo discussed below, the rites have started above.
“First bow to the Heavens and Earth…” Plant Sage dragged his voice as he spoke.
Ji Mo Ya held Huan Qing Yan’s hand and respectfully bow towards the center of the Holy Court.
“Second bow to the elders…”
Ji Mo Ya and Huan Qing Yan turned to face Bai Li Ren, Ji Mo Wu Chang, and Madam Ru. They were about to bow…
“Hold it!”
At that moment, the arrogant voice of a woman emerged from the noisy crowd.
Ji Mo Ya frowned the instant he heard the voice, Huan Qing Yan could never forget that voice as well.
Everyone looked at the source of the sound; they saw a woman in luxurious clothes and emitting a powerful aura, striding up the platform.
It was Madam Ru!
She had changed into her most luxurious attire during her escape here.
Behind her, was a meek young lady rushing to catch up.
