After nightfall, the devastated Canglan Mountain Sect cleaned up the wreckage, replaced the torn lanterns with new ones, lit them up to the eaves, and the warm yellow light shone through the windows, cutting out silhouettes of people walking.
The next moment, a sudden scream was heard in the room.
"marriage?!"
Li Sui'an sat up from the couch wrapped in bandages, grimacing in pain from the wound, "Master, are you going to get married or am I going to get married?"
"Of course you get married."
The quietly burning lights reflected a human figure, which passed by the figure on the couch. Amid the sound of footsteps, Lu Liangsheng slapped him on the head and sat down next to him.
"You have seen the girl's body, so you have to take responsibility."
"But... Master..." Li Sui'an sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the oil lamp on the table, feeling a little embarrassed, "You suddenly mentioned getting married... I haven't made up my mind yet..."
"But if we tarnish the girl's innocence and just walk away, that would be a lack of respect on our part."
Lu Liangsheng did the matchmaking for the first time. As for Wei Lingyun, the head of Canglan Mountain went to talk to her in person. However, during the day today, he saw that the girl looked at Li Sui'an with a different look in her eyes. Sui'an said that she had come to see him several times in the past month, so she probably had feelings for him.
“It’s a bit rude indeed.”
Over there, Li Sui'an was feeling distressed. His dream of being a hero and doing good deeds had only just begun for a few years, but he was already married. How could he travel around the world in the future
He has always been a man of his own ideas, but now he is in a dilemma and can't help but look at Lu Liangsheng.
"Master, what do you say we should do?"
"Didn't your teacher tell you before, to get married?" Lu Liangsheng smiled, stood up, unzipped his sleeves, reached into his sleeve pocket, spread his hands, and revealed two small swords the length of fingers. He put them on the table, and in the blink of an eye they turned into three-foot-long swords, with one black scabbard and one white scabbard, one tied with a leather rein, and one with a mandarin duck buckle.
Li Sui'an got out of bed, holding his still painful shoulder, and walked to the table. He couldn't help but touch the exquisite hilt and scabbard. The black and white swords looked like a pair.
"Master, is this... for me?"
"It's for you, of course."
After saying this, Lu Liangsheng took one of the black swords, grasped the hilt and pulled out half of it, revealing a cold light in the light. There was a smile in the scholar's eyes, and he looked at his apprentice.
"Actually, it's not for you, but I'm giving it back to you on behalf of your aunt."
Aunt
Looking at the black sword in his master's hand, Li Sui'an pursed his lips and muttered this name, as if he understood something, and his voice trembled a little.
"These two swords... are... left to me by my parents? They..."
"Your aunt said that your parents were also famous heroes in the martial arts world." Lu Liangsheng recalled Aunt Li's words, embellished some of them, and told them verbatim to his apprentice.
"… If your parents knew that their son is so promising, they would be very happy. I also hope that after you get married, you and your wife can take these two swords, black and white, and continue to do good deeds."
Gentle words were spoken slowly in the warm yellow light. Li Sui calmed the two swords in his hands, took a deep breath, and nodded with a choked voice.
"That's right. It's also an explanation to Miss Wei. After you get married, you will become more responsible."
Lu Liangsheng patted him on the shoulder and explained everything to him clearly. He asked Sui An to think about it carefully in the room, and then left the room to look for Wei Huang. When he came out, he saw a short figure wearing a nightgown and a black scarf running across the square, looking around furtively.
"Master?"
Hearing a sudden call, the short black shadow leaning against the wall subconsciously turned his head, blinked his big eyes, and saw a scholar in a green robe standing under the eaves of the corridor in front of him with a smile. He immediately spread his webbed feet and ran over, turned his back to his apprentice, looked around vigilantly, and then took off his mask.
It was the Toad Taoist who had been staying on the cliff. Seeing that it was getting dark and his disciple had not returned, he took out his night clothes, put on a mask and explored Canglan Mountain at night.
"Liangsheng, how is it going?"
"Well, that's good. I just happened to have something else to do. Master, let's go together."
The toad was stunned for a moment, but before he could ask anything, Liangsheng stretched out his hand to pick up the toad, hold it in his palm, and walk along the eaves towards the main building.
Over there, in a room on the second floor of the wooden building, a father and daughter were also having a conversation.
In the attic above the main building, Wei Huang sat at a round table, looking at his daughter's back as she faced the bronze mirror, and sighed.
"Yun'er, Daddy is a little sorry for you."
He tapped his hands on the table a few times, his beard trembling slightly, and pursed his lips: "Since your mother passed away, your father has talked to you less and less, and I haven't discussed matters such as marriage with you..."
"father!"
The girl who was dressing in front of the bronze mirror suddenly turned around. There was no anger on her face. She smiled as brightly as a flower and said, "I do."
Over there, Wei Huang was still saying, "I didn't discuss it with you, but I decided..." His voice suddenly stopped, and he stared at his daughter blankly, "Are you willing?"
"Hmm!" Wei Lingyun's cheeks flushed, and she nodded repeatedly with a light "hmm". Wei Huang slapped his thigh, his face wrinkled. Looking at his daughter's appearance, he swallowed the words he had been holding back, sighed again, and slowly stood up.
“…Girls can’t be kept at home when they grow up.”
He sighed as he left the room and went down to the attic, where he saw Lu Liangsheng sitting at the table drinking tea. Next to him was a fat toad in black clothes. He thought it was his spiritual beast, so he took a closer look.
On this side, Lu Liangsheng saw Wei Huang coming down, smiled, and poured another cup of tea and pushed it over.
"How about it?"
"It's done."
The people at the hall were dismissed, and the two of them began to discuss the marriage. Only the Toad Taoist, who was sitting on the table, narrowed his eyes and tilted his head, wondering what was going on.
I originally wanted to come in and watch my disciple slaughtering everyone, but how come the two parties suddenly sat together in a friendly manner to discuss the marriage
The night gradually deepened. As the four scholars and She Long were brought up the mountain by a group of Canglan Mountain disciples and elders, Lu Liangsheng and Wei Huang had almost finished their discussion. After explaining to the noisy group of people outside, they dispersed late at night.
…
With the marriage finalized, Lu Liangsheng also stayed in Canglan Mountain Sect for a few more days. After dealing with Ren Yinyang's funeral, the news that the sect leader's only daughter and the only junior sister among the disciples was going to get married spread, and the sect suddenly became lively.
Many people reacted to the shock of this incident and hid in the corner, beating their chests and crying loudly. Some were indignant and threatened to teach that kid named Li Sui'an a lesson!
After all, it was hard to accept that his beloved junior sister suddenly got married.
"It must be that national master who used his status to pressure the head of the sect to do this!"
“… My beloved junior sister is getting married, but why is the groom not me?”
"Given Yun'er's personality, she will never compromise. She has such a good relationship with me, so she should come to me for consultation. She might even ask me to elope with her."
"You called her Yun'er? I'm usually on good terms with her."
"Bullshit, if you look like this, go to Canglan River and take a good look, Yun'er will like you!"
"That's right, but that kid is not that lucky. Apart from being a little prettier than me and having a higher level of cultivation, he is not comparable to me."
Now that the wedding is being prepared, the fact that Wei Lingyun is getting married has shattered any hope that anyone had. They have no choice but to accept this fact and prepare for the wedding in a lively manner.
The process was actually simple. It was held in the Canglan Mountain Sword Sect. An auspicious time was chosen, and all the disciples in the sect put wedding colors on various buildings in the sect. Big red lanterns were hung everywhere. The two sides exchanged their horoscopes, put on wedding gowns, and hung big red flowers on their chests. Lu Liangsheng then pushed the still dazed Li Sui'an out of the wooden building, went to the main building next door to pick up the bride, and knelt down to pay homage to Wei Huang and Lu Liangsheng in the hall of the building, and then was pushed into the bridal chamber by the noisy crowd.
Afterwards, everyone ate and drank. After a while, Wei Huang also drank a lot of wine and was helped back to his room by two disciples.
"Alas, the headmaster looks like he has drunk a lot of wine."
The two of them left the room, took one last look at the figure sitting alone facing the light through the gap in the door, gently closed the door, and sighed with some sympathy.
"Yeah, how is this different from the forced selling of girls that are rumored outside?"
"Alas... It's really hard for the headmaster, and it's also hard for Junior Sister. When we were worshipping in the hall this morning, didn't you see Junior Sister smiling with tears in her eyes?"
With another sigh, the two shook their heads and walked away into the corridor, down the stairs. In the tightly closed door behind them, in the slightly swaying light, a lonely figure sat with one elbow on the table, his palm covering his forehead, slowly moving it from his mouth to his nose, and his shoulders began to tremble slightly.
I don’t know if it was because of the drunkenness or something else, but there was a layer of mist in my eyes.
The next moment, he took away the hands that were covering his mouth and nose and slapped the table. Wei Huang opened his lips slightly and laughed out loud, unable to stop.
… The art of wielding swords has returned to the sect, and Yun’er has found a good husband.
Why should I suffer? I have no time to be happy. While you are still thinking about these things, I have already reached a higher level.
From now on, I will pass the position of the head of the sect to that kid. I will finally have the leisure to go out and fish by the river.
When he thought about the leisurely life in the future, he sighed "Ah..." and closed his eyes with satisfaction.
