Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 720 - 533: The Wedding
Chapter 720: Chapter 533: The Wedding
Lingyun Peak, at the mountain top in autumn, had already transformed into a silver-clad land, adorned with shimmering ice sculptures.
And on the mountainside, countless maple trees were now burning red like flames.
At this moment, these maple trees were also hung with lanterns and numerous tiny red celebratory cloths.
On both sides of the mountain path, red joyous characters were pasted everywhere.
From time to time, groups of Mountain-devouring Rats passed by, gazing longingly at platters filled with Spirit Fruit.
The busy Ye Family Members at the mountaintop were both proud and anxious.
Afraid of spoiling Ye Jingcheng’s grand wedding, after all, it was the Patriarch’s wedding, and also an alliance between the Ye Family and Cyan Cloud Nunnery.
“Qingcai, check if the tea and fruits are arranged well at the wedding pavilion?”
“Qingxi, take those undisciplined Mountain-devouring Rats away; if they steal food, prepare them for Spiritual Cuisine!”
“Qinglin, make sure all the Guiding family members take the Snow Foxes, as many Upper Cultivators from Illusion Peak will be coming this time!”
…
Ye Jingting was constantly giving orders.
She hadn’t expected to be in charge of this Spirit Mountain’s arrangements.
But for her, arranging the wedding mountain for Ye Jingcheng was her greatest honor.
Therefore, she was being extra cautious.
She checked everything every half hour.
Tomorrow was the big wedding day, so naturally, she had to be careful.
And at this moment, her gaze also turned towards the distance.
Only to see a huge Tier Three Spiritual Ship speeding towards them.
This scene made Ye Jingting freeze momentarily.
Because usually, large families and Major Sects arrive at the last moment, and she clearly recognized it as the Spiritual Ship of Taiyi Illusion Peak.
And it was the Spiritual Ship of Supreme Taihao.
She took out the Sound Transmission Talisman, sending messages to Ye Jingyun and Ye Jingcheng.
However, she found that in the sky, Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingyun, and other family senior members had already flown out to greet them!
“Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Zhao, Fairy Liu!” Ye Jingcheng was the first to cup his hands in salute.
And Ye Jingyun and the others also spoke up in unison:
“Elder Tianzhen, Elder Taihao, Elder Liu!”
“Ye Jingcheng, how dare you allow the spiritual memorial of our master to come to Lingyun Peak? Can Lingyun Peak accommodate our master?” Tianzhen Ascendant was the first to rebuke coldly.
This made Ye Jingcheng repeatedly bow his head to admit his mistake.
He knew that his Jade Talisman had taken effect.
“While Master was alive, he always praised your manners, because you are a Clan Cultivator, and accepted you as a Registered Disciple. Not attending because of family reasons could be excused, but today you defy Master as well?”
“Senior Brother Cheng, Junior Brother dares not defy but truly wishes to mourn for Master. However, as a Registered Disciple, I lack the virtue and capability to remain at Illusion Peak with everyone to guard the spirit, and with prearranged marriage, it resulted in today’s circumstances!” Ye Jingcheng repeatedly replied.
“I hope Senior Brother will punish me!”
“Make good amends with Master; tomorrow is your joyous day, so Senior Brother will refrain from penalizing you. Besides, as you hold the title of Ascendant, and there seem to be no appropriate elders in the Ye Family, let Master witness on your behalf!” Tianzhen Ascendant coldly snorted.
Then he stepped aside, revealing Supreme Taihao holding a wooden tray behind him.
On the tray was the purple Daoist Robe of Master Tianfu.
The witnessing was done with the Daoist Robe.
“Master, I am guilty; once my wedding is complete, I will guard Master’s spirit for seven days!” Ye Jingcheng spoke.
He also stepped forward to receive the tray.
Lowering his head, he proceeded with the group of Illusion Peak cultivators to the Ye Family’s Ancestral Hall.
Master Tianfu, not being of Ye Family blood, wasn’t laid to rest in the Ye Family’s Ancestral Hall. Instead, a new pavilion was built next to the Ancestral Hall, which served as the ceremonial hall prepared for Master Tianfu’s Daoist Robe by Ye Jingcheng.
He placed the Daoist Robe inside and began incense burning and tea brewing.
“Use this Spirit Tea, it’s Master’s favorite Purple Fucha!” Tianzhen Ascendant spoke again.
Ye Jingcheng received a Jade Box containing Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Tea, comparable to the Ye Family’s Cloud Conceal Tea.
Clearly sensing that Ye Jingcheng’s Yunfu Tea wasn’t of the appropriate tier.
After all, Yunfu Tea barely qualified as Tier Two.
Naturally, it did not meet the status of Master Tianfu.
Ye Jingcheng complied as instructed.
Once all the ceremonies were completed, both Tianzhen Ascendant and Supreme Taihao breathed a sigh of relief.
They followed Ye Jingcheng to the room arranged by the Ye Family for him.
“Junior Brother Ye, though you are Master’s disciple, now that Master has passed, Master Xuan Dao is currently the chief Steward at Illusion Peak, so do be cautious in the future!” Tianzhen Ascendant said nothing, but Supreme Taihao still offered a reminder.
This gave Ye Jingcheng a start, but he then nodded.
He understood what Supreme Taihao meant.
This indicated that Ye Jingcheng’s status as a Registered Disciple had no acknowledgment at Taiyi Sect.
After all, a deceased True Master held no value for Taiyi Sect anymore.
The highest is only a single branch at the Late Stage of Purple Mansion, naturally lacking confidence in the Taiyi Sect.
And if something goes wrong in the future, neither Supreme Taihao nor Tianzhen Ascendant will stand up for Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng wants to continue seeking shelter at Illusion Peak, so he should maintain the previous supply-demand relationship with Master Xuan Dao.
Otherwise, it’s very likely that new clans will flood Taihang Commandery for profit once again.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao!” Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands, then reached for his Storage Bag at his waist.
But Supreme Taihao waved his hand:
“No need for that, we are brothers, no need to be polite!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng took out several top-quality Tier Two Spirit Fruits, placed them in the room, and then took his leave.
After Ye Jingcheng had walked far away, it wasn’t long before Tianzhen Ascendant entered Supreme Taihao’s room.
The two activated an Array, ensuring no eavesdroppers were around, then Supreme Taihao shook his head and spoke first:
“Senior Brother Cheng, it doesn’t seem like it.”
“Hmm, either we misunderstood, or Junior Brother Ye is more formidable than we imagined. It’s best for us to maintain good relations with him. As for what other uncles may think, let them think as they wish; it’s not something we can intervene in!” Tianzhen Ascendant nodded.
They naturally made many guesses but knew well that knowing too much without enough power could only lead to their own deaths.
The treasures might be good, but as long as they proceed steadily, Master Xuan Dao will surely promote them to the Golden Core to consolidate the position of Illusion Peak.
So they are not afraid.
Even if they don’t achieve the Golden Core, they still have the Demon Pill of the Cloud Lion Demon King slain by Master Tianfu to break through to the Pseudo Golden Core.
Although it doesn’t have the lifespan of a true Golden Core, it can still reach the Golden Core Realm.
Therefore, the two are in no hurry.
“By the way, what do you think of Junior Brother Ye’s strength?” Tianzhen Ascendant suddenly asked.
“I can’t tell. My Spirit Listening Skill fails when I listen to Junior Brother Ye, possibly due to his Spirit Body, or maybe he has a special Secret Technique or Treasure on him.” Supreme Taihao replied again.
“Then there’s no need to bother!” Tianzhen Ascendant nodded.
…
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and with the arrival of the new day, golden dawn appeared at the end of the mountain.
Ye Jingcheng, accompanied by some Ye Family Members, boarded a Tier Two Top-Grade Spiritual Ship, heading towards Cyan Cloud Nunnery to fetch the bride.
Though it was a bride-fetching ceremony,
it wasn’t actually going to Tai Cang Mountain.
After all, the distance to Tai Cang Mountain would take half a day, unless Ye Jingcheng used a Tier Three Spiritual Ship to be faster.
So, the bride-fetching team from Cyan Cloud Nunnery was already stationed at an adjacent Clan Mountain of both Tai Cang Mountain and the Ye Family.
This way, it would take just two hours to bring Chu Yanqing back.
Without delaying the auspicious time for the feast.
When they arrived at the location, Ye Jingcheng finally saw the festive Clan Mountain in the distance, and the cultivators from Cyan Cloud Nunnery were equally jubilant.
After all, this was considered an alliance marriage with the Ye Family, which was now shining brightly.
And with Ye Jingcheng having broken through to the Purple Mansion, it was now considered the most powerful family in Taihang Commandery.
“Everyone, separate the Spiritual Ships!” Ye Jingcheng commanded.
With Ye Jingcheng’s words, the original single Spiritual Ship turned into a total of eight!
Though four of them were still Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Ships, and only three were Tier Two Spiritual Ships,
all the Spiritual Ships backing the sunrise and cutting through the landscape were truly magnificent!
And Ye Jingcheng stood at the forefront of the ship, adorned with Red Flowers, his heart equally surging with emotions at this moment.
Regardless of the reasons before, this was his first grand wedding in his life.
Ye Jingcheng raised his hand, and Ye Jing Hu beside him smiled, lowering two of the Spiritual Ships.
The gifts Ye Jingcheng had prepared for the bride were inside these two Spiritual Ships.
Spirit Stones, Spirit Fruits, Spirit Pills, Magical Artifacts, and Auspicious Beasts were all included!
“Daoist Jingxin, thank you for your hard work today!” Ye Jingcheng first greeted the Nunnery Master of Cyan Cloud Nunnery, and then dealt with all matters according to custom.
“Patriarch Ye is considerate!” Abbot Jingxin nodded and smiled as she led the way for Ye Jingcheng.
On the other side of the mountain, there was a pavilion.
Chu Yanqing, adorned in red clothes and wearing Five-Colored Gold Ornaments, had long been waiting for him.
Ye Jingcheng promptly stepped forward.
“Sorry to keep you waiting!” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.
Although he couldn’t see Chu Yanqing’s face, he could imagine her appearance under the red veil!
“No waiting, carry me!” Chu Yanqing surprisingly said, her voice not loud, but Ye Jingcheng nodded without hesitation.
He carried Chu Yanqing,
and headed towards his own Spiritual Ship.
Meanwhile, from a distance, Jingxin also shouted loudly.
“Cyan Cloud Nunnery sends the bride, with two accompanying Spiritual Ships, two stalks of Thousand-Year Elixir, two pieces of Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, two bottles of Tier Two Spirit Pills…”
In the end, ten Spiritual Ships set off towards Lingyun Peak together!
