Chapter 509: Chapter 253: Request for Master’s Blessing in Marriage (Part 2)

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, then comforted, "Master, you don’t need to worry. I will find a way. No matter what destiny they carry, I will do my best to ensure their safety."

Qin Mengyao furrowed her brows in thought but did not speak for the moment.

Fuyun Zi laughed and said, "You, don’t worry about this for now, take care of yourself first. Once matters with the Profound Celestial Sect are resolved, then you can turn your attention back to the sect."

"Oh, by the way," Fuyun Zi recalled something, "Do you remember how your grandmaster once said there was a stone in the Ruo Wood Secret Realm that was very important to her, and that we personally sent someone to escort her to find it?"

Chu Xuan was a bit puzzled but nodded and said, "I remember. At first, grandmaster thought it was an egg, but it turned out to be a dead object that she lost interest in and tossed aside."

"Recently, your grandmaster, who is far away at the East Sea, said that she has recovered some memory and specially sent Ye Xingming back to take that stone away, claiming it will be useful in the future."

"Have you recovered your memory from the Celestial Evil Period now? Do you have any impression of this stone?"

Chu Xuan deliberated for a moment but still shook his head, "Actually, I’ve only recovered a little more than half my memory, and although I’ve seen the stone, I couldn’t make any sense of it."

Saying this, he turned around and glanced towards Xiaoxue, who was momentarily dazed but still shook her head.

Chu Xuan then said, "Next, I’ll take a trip to the East Sea and personally ask grandmaster."

Originally, he intended to visit Qing’er at the celestial ruins first. She was probably secretly angry with him, maybe even making paper dolls to curse him, because after leaving seclusion, Chu Xuan had been causing all sorts of commotion without going to see her.

Qing’er was also temperamental. She wouldn’t go to the Li’an Demon Sect to find Chu Xuan; she insisted he have to come personally to see her.

Fuyun Zi nodded, "It’s good to see her too. Your grandmaster listens to you the most. Try to persuade her not to be impulsive. We disciples all hope for her return to impart teachings."

At this moment, Qin Mengyao took over the topic, speaking earnestly, "Master, everyone has their destiny. I’m not afraid of dying; I just want to do what I want to do."

With that, she knelt again, "Please, Master, grant us marriage and fulfill your disciple!"

"My junior brother and I truly love each other. In this life, I will marry none but him, and he has promised me that he will marry none but me."

"As long as you agree, Master, the wedding can be held today without inviting outsiders, only our family."

Chu Xuan was dumbfounded while discussing important matters with the master. No, senior sister, when did I ever say ’none but you’?

Fuyun Zi did not expect his eldest disciple to suddenly request marriage, momentarily surprised, "This..."

Qin Mengyao wasn’t acting on impulse; she just felt a sense of crisis with her master’s words.

What if something happened before I even got married to junior brother? Better take this chance to seal the deal so that even if I meet my end someday, there won’t be any regrets.

"She’s lying," Ji Mingyu, holding back for a long time, couldn’t help but say through Xiaoxue’s mouth.

Fuyun Zi stroked his beard with a smile, "It’s rare to see Mengyao speak so candidly about her feelings. It seems there’s some change."

Then he looked at Chu Xuan, "Do you agree?"

The master seemed to suggest, "If you agree, I’ll immediately arrange for your marriage with your senior sister."

Qin Mengyao also looked at her junior brother with eyes full of eager anticipation.

This put Chu Xuan in a position where it was hard to refuse, so he followed suit, kneeling down and said in a gentle voice, "Master, I admit, I do have feelings for senior sister."

"But given these extraordinary times, I have many important matters to attend to. Now isn’t the time for romance..."

Qin Mengyao gently held her junior brother’s hand, looking at him with eyes that said ’cherish the person in front of you.’

"I won’t hold you back. We can marry today, and you may leave tomorrow; this won’t delay your plans, right?"

Chu Xuan was taken aback, and he understood that his master, such an upright person, wouldn’t approve of him getting involved with many women.

Thus, at this moment, the master didn’t help him out of the predicament, just watched him with a smiling gaze, seemingly curious about how this disciple would handle the situation.

"No, Chu Xuan said he would marry me first!" "Xiaoxue" couldn’t hold back anymore and ran over to grab Chu Xuan’s other hand.

At this moment, whether it was the master or senior sister, their gazes towards him changed!

"No! Listen to me; it’s not what you think. I never said that." Chu Xuan was genuinely sweating, afraid they would really think he had some ’special fetish.’

Ji Mingyu realized she had spoken through Xiaoxue’s body in a way that made Chu Xuan seem a bit perverse to outsiders.

Fuyun Zi, after a moment of shock, also realized but still shook his head, earnestly saying:

"Chu Xuan, as practitioners, we must restrain our desires."

Chu Xuan was embarrassed.

Being in front of the master, Qin Mengyao intended to maintain her image as a ’righteous senior sister,’ so she didn’t bicker with Xiaoxue, only gazed at Chu Xuan with deep affection, "Junior brother, can you give me an answer?"

Chu Xuan considered for a moment, looking at her sideways, "Senior sister, I know you are anxious, worried something might happen in the future, which is why you’re in a hurry."

Qin Mengyao silently complained in her heart: That’s only half the reason; the other half is that I genuinely want to be one with you, junior brother.

Chu Xuan continued, "But please trust me, I will absolutely not let anything happen to you."

"Moreover, your current level isn’t high enough, and the Seven Kill Stele isn’t fully unsealed; it’s not yet time to fulfill your mission. There shouldn’t be any accidents in the near future."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mengyao bit her lip, her eyes reddening as if she were about to cry from being wronged.

Fuyun Zi, seeing this, timely said, "Since your senior sister is so sincere, you can’t keep her waiting forever; you should make a promise."

Chu Xuan opened his mouth, finding it hard to say the master was biased towards the senior sister, after all, if he had two disciples, one was amorous and one was faithful, he would surely lean towards the faithful one.

After thinking for a moment in his mind, Chu Xuan looked at Qin Mengyao, nodded solemnnly, and said, "Since today, senior sister has brought this up in front of the master, I cannot avoid or shirk it."

He bowed to Fuyun Zi, "Disciple also requests the master to grant the marriage today, hoping the master will choose an auspicious date. We need not rush; I will definitely complete the three letters and six rites, bringing senior sister home with a formal ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mengyao’s tears flowed, feeling beyond words.

Fuyun Zi was also pleased; it’s rare to see both his disciples sincerely in love. How could a master not be pleased?

He leaned down and helped both of them up, "Good, good, both of you are my good disciples. I will personally grant this wedding, and choose a good day for a grand celebration in our Taoist temple."

Chu Xuan and Qin Mengyao bowed again, like a perfectly matched couple, saying in unison, "Thank you, Master!"

Ji Mingyu watched anxiously, thinking, What about me? What about me?

Throughout, she wanted to cut in but found it hard to do so, given her current identity as just a pet.

Chu Xuan, for the time being, couldn’t attend to this girl, just turned around to hold his senior sister’s hands, saying in an affectionate tone, "Senior sister, why don’t you stay at the Taoist temple and focus on secluded cultivation while you wait for me?"

"I swear, I will never let down senior sister in this life."

Qin Mengyao, tears still on her face, nodded shyly, "Then I’ll wait for your return to marry me, senior sister."
