CHAPTER 296: CHAPTER 283: THE GRAND DAOIST COUPLE CEREMONY

As soon as Fox Ruoshui entered, everyone immediately turned their eyes towards her.

As for the tea, there wasn’t a trace to be seen.

Fox Ruoshui raised an eyebrow, "This is...?"

"Madam, it’s like this. Master has something to tell you, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he forced me to use this method to invite you here," Mu Nanqing spoke softly, "I would also like to share tea with you, but perhaps you should first listen to what Master has to say."

Mu Nanqing then conscientiously made room for her.

Following that, Lu Xingzhi, Yun Jian, Shi Nian, and Lin Tiantian, one after another, stood against the wall, their eyes wide open, staring unblinkingly at Ling Tian Sword Master and Fox Ruoshui.

Fox Ruoshui, however, remained composed. She raised an eyebrow again, "Oh? Ling Tian, what did you want to say?"

Ling Tian Sword Master tried to speak.

However, as soon as he looked up, he saw Shi Nian pulling out an Image Stone aimed at him, and Lin Tiantian had already whipped out pen and paper, ready as ever.

Ling Tian Sword Master: "..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "All of you, get out."

They all seemed reluctant to leave.

Finally, it was Mu Nanqing who said, "We’ll wait outside then."

Once Mu Nanqing spoke, although everyone was reluctant, they followed out.

Ling Tian Sword Master was speechless again.

He didn’t understand.

Nobody listened to him when he spoke!

Once Mu Nanqing said something, everyone immediately behaved.

Did he have less authority than his head disciple?

"Now, what did you want to say?" Fox Ruoshui looked at Ling Tian Sword Master with a somewhat mocking smile.

Ling Tian Sword Master stood up cautiously, "Wait a moment."

Fox Ruoshui was puzzled until she saw him swiftly open the window, where several people were huddled, each displaying an awkward expression.

"Master, you’re busy, carry on," Mu Nanqing said gently, then she closed the window.

This time, they really left.

Ling Tian Sword Master still felt uneasy and set up several barriers until he felt somewhat assured.

Fox Ruoshui watched the tussle between Ling Tian Sword Master and his disciples, feeling the urge to laugh, but she held it back.

She looked at Ling Tian Sword Master with icy resolve, "Now speak up, what is it really about."

Ling Tian Sword Master opened his mouth to say something, but after a long pause, he ultimately said nothing.

Fox Ruoshui raised an eyebrow, "If there’s nothing to say, then I should leave. The Fox Clan has just settled down, there are numerous things to attend to, I am very busy."

Fox Ruoshui turned to leave.

Ling Tian Sword Master, unable to help himself, quickly grabbed her.

Fox Ruoshui looked at him with a mocking smile, "So, what is it really that you want to say? I don’t have the time to waste here with you."

Ling Tian Sword Master, his head heating up, blurted out, "I mean, the day after three days is good."

A slight smile flickered through Fox Ruoshui’s eyes, "And then?"

And then...

Ling Tian Sword Master shrank his neck, "I just wanted to ask if you liked that day..."

Fox Ruoshui stepped forward, and Ling Tian Sword Master’s body tensed subconsciously.

Fox Ruoshui lifted a strand of white hair, "Do you know where this white hair comes from?"

Ling Tian Sword Master felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Of course, he knew.

They were forced to separate, and during that time, Fox Ruoshui’s hair turned white overnight.

What kind of pain must it have been for a member of the long-living Fox Clan to have their hair turn white overnight?

Just by thinking about it a little, Ling Tian Sword Master also felt stabbing pain.

All of a sudden, he understood.

Thus, he looked at Fox Ruoshui somewhat despondently, "I’m sorry, I hurt you too deeply."

Fox Clan women are always passionate and straightforward.

Fox Ruoshui was never this cold and frosty; she was fiery hot, her warmth could melt anyone.

Back then, it was also she who first declared her love.

In the early days, it was her who had always been pursuing him.

Finally,

Just when their love had reciprocated, that drastic change occurred.

Fox Clan women always dare to love and hate.

Ling Tian Sword Master suddenly felt a bit scared.

Having experienced such pain, he didn’t know if Fox Ruoshui still wanted to interact with him.

This time, her coming to Divine Martial Sect was probably only for the sake of her clan.

If he were to propose becoming Daoist couples, it might appear as if he were using his position to obligate her.

Ling Tian Sword Master’s heart grew increasingly pained.

Fox Ruoshui looked at him like this and sighed lightly.

"Ling Tian, this hair has turned white because of you."

Ling Tian Sword Master’s pain became unbearable: "I know."

So, even if Ruoshui gives up on him this time, it would be what he rightfully deserves.

A smile appeared at the corners of Fox Ruoshui’s lips: "So, this white hair is what you owe me."

"Yes." Ling Tian Sword Master nodded, his voice hoarse: "It’s all my fault."

"Since you admit it, then you have to take responsibility." Fox Ruoshui said softly: "I won’t punish you otherwise, I’ll just penalize you to stay by my side for a lifetime, for all eternity, until my hair turns black again, and until the end of my immortal path."

Ling Tian Sword Master initially looked dejected, but as he listened, a hint of ecstasy emerged in his eyes.

Is Ruoshui forgiving him?

His eyes, which hadn’t moistened in years, started to redden at this moment.

Ling Tian Sword Master said without hesitation: "This is not a punishment, this is a tremendous blessing. Ruoshui, are you willing to become Daoist couples with me, to accompany each other on the path of cultivation from now on, never to part again?"

Fox Ruoshui looked at him.

Ling Tian Sword Master was still a bit nervous, his fingers trembling slightly.

Fox Ruoshui chuckled lightly and said: "Okay. The ceremony for Daoist couples in three days."

She thought.

She should have been more reserved.

But oh.

Fifty years have already been too long.

Although they have long lifespans, those fifty years without each other felt like an endless eternity.

Now, finally having the opportunity to be together openly and honorably, if they delay and waste this chance, and if the Demon Clan attacks someday, amidst chaos of war, would they not lose the opportunity to be together again?

It’s better to cherish the person before them.

Fox Ruoshui hadn’t come out for a long time, and the barrier of the small cabin hadn’t been lifted for a long time either.

People at Ling Tian Peak waited for a while, then Mu Nanqing spoke up.

"Second junior brother, the preparations for your Daoist couple’s ceremony need to be hastened."

Lu Xingzhi perked up and responded: "Rest assured!"

Lin Tiantian chuckled: "I’m pondering a question. What should the kids of our Master and his wife call us?"

Shi Nian knocked her on the head: "What a profound question."

"Profound indeed, but it’s necessary to think ahead," Lin Tiantian said seriously.

As they talked, they leisurely descended the mountain.

They might be gossipy, but in this moment, it’s best left to Master and his wife.

Three days later.

Atop Ling Tian Peak.

Ling Tian Sword Master and Fox Ruoshui officially became Daoist couples.

This event could be used to promote the friendly attitude of the Human Clan towards the hidden Demon Clan, not only Lin Bai Sword Immortal personally attended, but also many high-ranking officials from the Righteous Alliance and all ten sect masters were present.

It considerably gave face to Ling Tian.

Old Fox nodded repeatedly, seeing this.

Ling Tian Sword Master’s capabilities seemed even greater than he had imagined.

In this way, the alliance might be more stable than he thought.

As long as the threat of the Demon Clan is eliminated, their clan can usher in long-lasting peace.

Although Lin Bai said they needn’t help, after thinking it over, Old Fox still felt he should contribute.

After the ceremony for Daoist couples, he called Fox Ruoshui and other Demon Clan Supremes, giving each a map that could locate other hidden clans of the Demon Clan.

Now that the Demon Clan was already disintegrating, these hidden clans could no longer remain hidden. Compared to allying with those so-called great royal families or the Demon Clan, Old Fox believed, the Human Clan was a better choice.

Fox Ruoshui and other members of the Fox Clan took up the task and were ready to set off immediately.

Ling Tian Sword Master originally wanted to follow, but was forcefully required by Fox Ruoshui to stay in Divine Martial Sect and learn to be a proper Sect Leader.

Ling Tian Sword Master could only grimace and agree.
