Chapter 721 Why Did We Have to Fall for the Same Person?

As the days passed, the joyous day of Xiao Mo and Gui Junmeng’s wedding drew ever closer.

All the arrangements at the Seeking Immortal Temple had long been ready.

Gui Junmeng’s wedding dress was finally decided upon after being modified nine times.

In fact, Gui Junmeng hadn’t offered a single opinion during those nine revisions. It was all her senior and junior martial sisters striving for perfection.

But they gradually discovered something. ‘The more they changed the dress, the more it felt like something was missing.’

In the end, they simply brought out all ten wedding dresses, including the original one, and planned to let Gui Junmeng choose for herself.

And the one Gui Junmeng ultimately chose was, of all things, the very first one.

This came as a bit of a surprise to her martial sisters.

It wasn’t that the first dress was ugly; in fact, each of the ten dresses had its own unique charm.

The original dress was also very beautiful.

What surprised them was that Jun Meng, for once, had her own opinion and didn’t just say, “I think they’re all fine,” as she usually did.

They asked Gui Junmeng why she specifically chose the first one.

Gui Junmeng lowered her head, her cheeks flushing slightly, and said softly, “Xiao Mo said the first one was beautiful.”

Hearing Gui Junmeng’s reply, her martial sisters’ hearts softened. They couldn’t help but marvel at how incredibly lucky Xiao Mo was. How had he managed to be so deeply loved by their wonderful junior sister?

「Another month passed…」

「Finally, as the last night quietly slipped away and the light of dawn pierced the darkness, the wedding day arrived…」

Just as dawn was breaking, Senior Sister Lin and the others hurried to Gui Junmeng’s courtyard to help her with her hair and makeup.

Xiao Mo’s courtyard was right next to Gui Junmeng’s, separated only by a single wall, which was inconvenient for the groom’s procession to pick up the bride.

So, the night before the wedding, Xiao Mo had moved to another mountain peak within the Seeking Immortal Temple.

Xiao Mo also rose before dawn.

Liu Shui entered Xiao Mo’s room to help him into his groom’s attire and carefully arranged his topknot.

“Young Master, you look so handsome.”

Liu Shui said from the heart, gazing at Xiao Mo’s reflection in the bronze mirror.

“You’re flattering me, Sister Liu Shui,” Xiao Mo said with a smile, shaking his head.

“I’m not just flattering you, Young Master.” Liu Shui reached out to gently adjust his lapels and said softly, “I’m telling the truth. I doubt there’s a more handsome man in this world than you, Young Master.”

Hearing Liu Shui praise him like this again, Xiao Mo merely offered a faint smile.

‘She’s just seeing me through rose-colored glasses,’ Xiao Mo thought.

“Young Master…”

As silence fell in the room, Liu Shui gently raised her head to look at Xiao Mo, her eyes shimmering as she blinked.

“I’ve heard that in the Mortal World, when wealthy families marry off their daughters, the maids have to specially instruct the young master on… marital duties. I’ve been looking at quite a few related picture books recently. Would you like me to teach you, Young Master?”

“…” Xiao Mo’s expression froze slightly, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to respond.

“Hehehe…” Seeing Xiao Mo about to open his mouth to refuse, Liu Shui couldn’t help but chuckle. “Please don’t worry, Young Master. I was only joking just now.”

Xiao Mo shook his head and went along with her, saying, “Sister Liu Shui, it’s best not to make those kinds of jokes.”

“Alright, alright, I get it. You’re as serious as ever, Young Master.”

Liu Shui reached out her small hands and patted Xiao Mo’s shoulders lightly. She then took a step back and looked him over carefully to see if anything else needed adjusting.

“Everything looks about right. You can head to the main hall first, Young Master. I’ll just tidy up the room a bit and follow shortly.”

“Alright. Thank you for your trouble, Sister Liu Shui.” Xiao Mo bowed with his hands clasped, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Liu Shui watched as Xiao Mo walked away step by step, gradually disappearing from her sight, and couldn’t help but press her thin lips together.

Her small hands gripped the doorframe tightly, her gaze fixed on the direction he had gone. She murmured in a low voice:

‘Actually, Young Master… I really wasn’t joking…’

…

“Young Master Xiao, congratulations, congratulations!”

“Sect Leader Chen, you’ve come a long way. The journey must have been arduous. Please, come inside for some tea and rest.”

“I wish Young Master Xiao a joyous wedding and a long and happy life with Miss Gui!”

“Thank you, City Lord Wang. Lord City Lord, please come in.”

“May Young Master Xiao and Miss Gui have a son soon and grow old together!”

“Thank you, Lady Yan. Please, come inside and take a seat.”

At the entrance to the Seeking Immortal Temple’s main hall, guests arrived one after another.

As the groom, Xiao Mo naturally had to greet them personally.

The guests in attendance today included Sect Leaders and Elders from the various Sects of the Human Alliance, as well as City Lords and rogue cultivators of the Golden Core Realm and above.

Even Sects from the World of Ten Thousand Laws had sent people to offer their congratulations.

However, Xiao Mo was inwardly waiting for a certain woman, but there was still no sign of her.

Just as Xiao Mo was busy receiving guest after guest, a boundless demonic aura suddenly surged forth, alarming everyone and putting them on high alert as if facing a great enemy.

Including Daoist Yun Xi, all the Human Alliance Cultivators instinctively raised their heads and looked in the same direction.

Everyone saw a limping old man, supported by a beautiful woman, descending step by step from the sky.

The moment the Upper Three Realms Cultivators saw the old man’s face clearly, they were shocked!

‘Gui Ning!’

‘What is he doing at Seeking Immortal Temple?!’

“Greetings, Senior Gui. And greetings to you, Lady Tushan.”

The moment the limping old man and Tushan Xinhua landed, Xiao Mo stepped forward, bowed, and paid his respects.

“Hahaha… This old man has come uninvited. Young Master Xiao won’t be chasing me away, will he?” Gui Ning asked with a laugh, stroking his beard.
