Separated by a door, she shed her plain clothes and put on a red gown, blooming with a captivating fiery red splendor in the sunlight... What should he do if he wanted to go in and see even more?
Helplessly, Security Comrade Li Dalong guarded strictly, like an unyielding father-in-law, not giving him any chance.
"Good things take time, understand? It's not that easy for you to see her."
"Dad, I was joking when I said I was swapped at birth, but now I'm starting to wonder," Li Mo said, sighing at the sight of Ying Bing.
Li Dalong waved his hand, "Go, go, go. You'll see her tomorrow, can't you even wait one day?"
After sending Li Mo away, Li Dalong hummed, still laughing and scolding that he hadn't seen her back in the day either... As autumn breezes brought coolness, the engagement banquet officially began.
For this banquet, the enormous Qingyuan Sect seemed a bit cramped. The people who came for the promotion ceremony hadn't left yet, and the people who came for the wedding feast had arrived, so they ultimately set up an outdoor buffet, extending from the main hall all the way to the Sect gate.
Li Mo rode his horse out of the Sect gate.
Indeed, the clothes Li Dalong wore for his own wedding, when worn by him and paired with the demeanor of the Qianlong Ranking Top, truly exuded the youthful charm of a triumphant young man.
"Today's Qingyuan Sect feels even livelier than during the promotion ceremony," Elder Xu said with some emotion.
"Of course, Zhennan King himself came, and he even brought a gift from Your Majesty."
Qian Bufan was sitting at the entrance collecting gifts, then extended «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» his hand towards him.
"Isn't this an engagement? Do we have to give gifts for an engagement too?" The Elder from Sword Manor was stunned, but still reached into his pocket for the gift money.
"I heard it's a wedding, and I even heard Han Xianzi has already started calling Li Shaoxia's mother 'Mom.'"
"This setup really doesn't look like an engagement."
"Exactly! When I passed by, I saw the bridal chamber was already decorated. Who has a bridal chamber for an engagement?!"
Along the way, Jianghu people discussed animatedly, some saying it was an engagement, others a wedding.
Shang Qinqing's mouth twitched in the crowd, seemingly wanting to laugh wildly.
But a glance at the group of people who had just arrived at the Sect gate made her hold back.
"So, only weddings require a bridal chamber?" a voice suddenly asked among the newly arrived guests.
The person asked looked over with an expression like they were looking at an idiot, but upon realizing it was the famous Lingxi Gate Sect Leader Mo Chaozong, they awkwardly nodded.
"That's right, an engagement doesn't require a bridal chamber."
"Then today must be a wedding."
The Demon Summoning Sect members hidden within the Lingxi Gate's entourage secretly nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
They were scared to death; they had just thought their plan had gone awry.
"Sect Leader Mo, your Lingxi Gate is flourishing. I presume you haven't come empty-handed..." Qian Bufan extended his hand, rubbing his short, thick fingers together.
... Mo Chaozong was silent for a moment. He had come to cause trouble, and he never expected to have to pay to get in.
So he perfunctorily pulled out a silver ingot and handed it over.
"Lingxi Gate gives eight taels as a gift! Sit outside the Sect gate!" Elder Qian's voice was very loud.
"Only eight taels of silver? Sect Leader Mo wouldn't be here to cause trouble, would he?"
"After all, Lingxi Gate was previously the most promising to become the Zhen Prefecture Sect. Could it be that they're resentful for not being chosen?"
"Is there a possibility that Lingxi Gate is poor, which is why they're so stingy?"
Hearing this, Mo Chaozong clenched his fists. As a dignified Sect Leader, when had he ever heard such things?
"A small impatience spoils a great plan; don't ruin things," Situ Ding behind him transmitted via sound.
Sitting outside the Sect gate would make it inconvenient to act later.
"Hmph." Mo Chaozong snorted coldly and pulled out two stacks of banknotes: "Is this enough now?"
After paying, he walked in, only to turn around and find that the people he brought hadn't followed.
They were stopped by Qian Bufan again.
"Didn't Sect Leader already pay the gift money?" Situ Ding, disguised, said in a deep voice.
"He only paid for himself."
"You little..."
"Hmm?"
"Cutie."
So, one by one, the Demon Summoning Sect members lined up to pay, their already modest wallets taking a further hit.
Of course, they weren't entirely empty-handed; at least they received a return gift—a pair of Li Shaoxia and Han Xianzi couple dolls. freewebnoveℓ.com
Xiao Li was still completely unaware of Elder Qian even fleecing the Demon Summoning Sect.
Li Mo rode his horse into Ziyang Prefecture Fu City. People looked at him with awe and admiration, but the Wangqi Xiaobawang suddenly found himself basically unable to think.
He felt this road was very long, and yet very short.
He felt heavy all over, yet also like he was treading on clouds... Meanwhile.
The bride-to-be sat before her dressing table, letting Gu Xueqin arrange her hair. She stared blankly at herself in the mirror, her eyes rippling slightly.
She had never imagined that the scene from her dreams would one day appear so real.
She remembered that at first, she thought the Li family had been kind to her, so she stepped into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, intending to look after that childish boy.
After all, she was naturally the older sister, and she had lived two lives.
But as she took care of him, she, the older sister, became more and more indebted.
It seemed, perhaps, probably... she could only give herself to him.
At this moment.
"It looks like there are banknotes inside..." Lan Tian came in holding a red envelope.
"Hmm? Is that kid giving out red envelopes?"
Shang Wu came with Lan Tian to be bridesmaids. Initially, Li Mo had refused.
As everyone knew, before taking the bride away, the groom had to pass tests to enter the door, and the bridesmaids had to 'make things difficult' in between.
If Shang Wu came to be a roadblock, that would be terrible.
But Ice Cube didn't have many friends. Counting Lan Tian, the only other person in Ziyang Prefecture was the Qingyuan Sect's Fighting King.
"Yeah, do you have to give red envelopes for an engagement too?" Lan Tian nodded.
"Probably... yes."
Shang Wu folded her arms, surprisingly not going out to fleece her Baby Disciple, her eyes narrowed, looking uncharacteristically serious.
... Ying Bing pursed her lips, thinking to herself that only weddings required them.
But since she had been tricked by the childish boy so many times already, this time wouldn't make a difference, so she might as well pretend not to know.
"Ying Bing is so beautiful," Lan Tian said, forgetting about the red envelope, staring at Ying Bing with her hair coiled, wearing a red gown with Phoenix patterns, unable to help but wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth.
Gu Xueqin wanted to offer a few compliments, but looking up at the mirror, she felt any praise would be redundant.
She opened her mouth, the words in her heart choking her, making her eyes slightly red.
After all, she had raised her since she was little, and there was no difference from her own biological daughter.
"That brat got a good deal."
"Mom, what time is it?"
"No rush. We can't let him take you away that easily."
Xiao Li's biological mother, Madam Gu, spoke with the tone of protecting her own 'cabbage,' walking to the door of the boudoir.
After searching for a long time, she finally found the bolt. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Strange, did little Ying Bing usually not lock her door?
