Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Fan Luokui's expression suddenly changed, but she quickly suppressed the surging emotions within herself.

She quickly coughed twice to maintain her serious demeanor.

Then, she added seriously, "As a junior sister, it's only right that I care about my senior brother..."

"What~ So there's a time when you don't want to pin me to the ground and beat me up..." Jiang Shaoguang stretched lazily, yawned, and smiled: "That's a bit unexpected."

"I will not forget about the duel, Senior Brother Jiang can rest assured about that. As for now... it's just a special period."

"I think so too~"

He knew Fan Luokui's serious and meticulous personality very well, but at least she was a girl who could distinguish right from wrong.

I haven't been bothered or attacked by Fan Luokui in the mornings these past few days, probably because she doesn't want to disturb me.

Once this incident is over, this girl will definitely start bothering me every morning again.

To be honest, Jiang Shaoguang is feeling a little uneasy these days without her bothering him.

"then--"

Fan Luo Kui took a deep breath, a hint of coldness gradually appearing on her cheeks: "Although it's not really appropriate to ask now, I still want to confirm—"

"Senior brother, you won't back down, right?"

"Retreat..."

The word that had crossed Jiang Shaoguang's mind countless times didn't seem so terrifying after being uttered by Fan Luokui.

Perhaps it was the unique song "What Kind of Man Are You?" still echoing in his ears, but Jiang Shaoguang looked up at the dark night sky and gradually the image of the lovely girl sitting on the wall that year and night, eating candied hawthorns and watching fireworks appeared before his eyes.

This is... fireworks.

Yeah, how about it? Looks good, right? I wasn't lying, was I?

"Mmm...it really is...it's so beautiful. The moment the fireworks exploded was like a flower blooming..."

There are plenty of things outside that are just as beautiful as fireworks. When we have the chance in the future, I'll take you to explore the entire Extreme Heaven Domain—no, I mean, all three Great Heaven Domains. I'll take you to see them all.

"Really? You'll take me to every place in the three great celestial realms?"

Of course, do I look like the kind of person who talks nonsense?

They look quite alike! You've forgotten about my candied hawthorns several times!

That was an accident... just an accident~

"Well—we made a promise. Once my mother allows me to leave, you have to take me and travel throughout the three great heavens."

Okay, we made a date. Come on, girl, let's pinky swear.

【it is good】

The bursting fireworks reflected the image of the girl's gentle smile from that year.

That captivating smile still lingers in Jiang Shaoguang's mind.

"At least this time, I won't back down."

Jiang Shaoguang's answer was unusually affirmative.

"There are some things that you might regret for the rest of your life if you don't do them, don't you think?"

Fan Luokui smiled faintly and lowered her head slightly: "That's good..."

As long as Jiang Shaoguang hasn't given up, that's good.

Although she knew that Jiang Shaoguang's chances of winning this time were so low that it was hopeless, as long as Jiang Shaoguang himself did not show any sign of backing down, then they, as his junior sisters, needed to support him unconditionally.

Because he is Jiang Shaoguang.

Standing at the street corner, Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue, who chose not to show themselves, listened quietly to the conversation between the two without saying a word.

But they all clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, trying not to let their emotions show.

The Su family and the Duan family are two powerful clans that have already formed a marriage alliance...

Su Yu and Duan Yu dared not disobey their parents' orders.

Yunping chose not to intervene for the sake of Jiang Shaoguang's future, silently protecting him from behind.

And... Jiang Shaoguang himself, whose strength and cultivation were not particularly high, and whose network of connections was not extensive. He could be considered an unknown figure in the three great heavenly domains.

The combination of numerous factors here results in an outcome that anyone can see.

Ye Yuchan tried to persuade Yunping to take action more than once. If the old rogue wanted to, let alone a dark-level family, even a heaven-level family, or the five extremes of the Extreme Heaven Domain, would probably only dare to obediently let Jiang Shaoguang take the person away.

But every time she thought about what Yunping had said before... She only considered how to get the two of them together, but she didn't think about how much damage such a brutal behavior would cause to their relationship.

It's so difficult... so incredibly difficult...

"Alright, it's so late, there's no point in wandering around outside any longer, let's go back."

As Jiang Shaoguang spoke, he put on a forced, relaxed smile. No matter how many times Fan Luokui saw that sunny smile, she would feel a pang of heartache.

Perhaps, even he himself... realized it...

Watching the figure brush past her with an air of ease, Fan Luokui tried to keep her tone calm: "Senior Brother Jiang, is there really nothing... that we can do to help?"

"This one……"

Jiang Shaoguang paused, turned around, and smiled faintly: "The betrothal gifts are all prepared. Now all that's left is the formality of the proposal. But I've already asked my teacher for help with this, so I won't trouble my junior sisters to worry about it."

"Spectacle?"

Faced with Fan Luokui's question, Jiang Shaoguang explained, "It's the procession that brings betrothal gifts to propose marriage. Some people bring a grand sedan chair with dozens of boxes of betrothal gifts when they propose marriage. I asked my teacher to help me with this."

"You're making the teacher put on a show..."

"Yes."

Fan Luokui's expression was slightly strange, because she was quite aware of her teacher's rather...unique personality.

God knows what he'll use to make a grand entrance...

Seemingly sensing Fan Luokui's thoughts, Jiang Shaoguang gave a wry smile: "Although the teacher is a bit flamboyant in his actions, he is usually quite reliable. Asking him for help this time should not be a problem."

"Really?" Fan Luokui was skeptical.

Faced with Fan Luokui's suspicion, Jiang Shaoguang looked embarrassed and silently looked away.

"This... I guess... there shouldn't be any problem..."

—He himself wasn't quite sure...

After all... that's Yunping.

Meanwhile, inside a room at the restaurant.

The young man in the white shirt sat cross-legged on the bed, with a petite girl nestled in his arms.

The young man named Yunping frowned, pondered for a while, and then lowered his head to look at the petite and adorable Lin Yuan in his arms.

"Yuan'er, do you think it would be better for your teacher to airdrop the betrothal gifts with a B-52 bomber, or to do something more understated and have your teacher concoct some Doraemon dolls and carry them in sedan chairs?"

Yuan'er's expression froze instantly: "Teacher... Yuan'er doesn't quite understand..."

"Hmm..." Yun Ping lowered his head and thought for a moment: "This B52 bomber chicken might be a bit too exaggerated and might scare the guests. The Doraemon doll is a bit too bizarre. How about..."

He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have some hidden items in his storage ring, and an idea immediately came to him.

"I have a solution."

"What is it?"

Yuan'er curiously raised her little head, wanting to know what her teacher thought.

Yunping smiled mysteriously, a smile that was as infuriating as ever.

"Don't worry, Yuan'er, your teacher has already come up with a style that is neither extravagant nor bizarre, but also very cool."

"The performance will definitely make Jiang Shaoguang lose face... ugh, he'll gain a lot of face!"

For some reason, Lin Yuan's small body suddenly trembled twice when she saw her teacher's mysterious smile.

She started to panic.

23. Envied by others

Today is certainly a significant day for Xiangren City.

Its importance is even comparable to that of the succession of the city lord—

This is simply because the Duan family and the Su family, two major clans at the Dark Level, are about to complete their marriage today. For Xiangren City, which is controlled by both of these clans, this is definitely a major event that will attract the attention of the entire city.

Leaving aside the small families and minor sects around Xiangren City, it is said that even the Three Heavens Academy will be attending the marriage alliance between these two major families!

It should be noted that the main campus of the Three Heavens Academy is located in the Extreme Heaven Domain, but it is quite far from Xiangren City. For someone of the power of the Three Heavens Academy to travel such a long distance to this place, it must not be a simple matter.

This is naturally because someone from the Duan or Su family has a very close relationship with the Three-Day Academy.

On this day, the once crowded streets were now deserted of grocers and vendors. People were quite conscious of making way for the large number of horse-drawn carriages—these were all people from various powerful factions, and ordinary people like them with no status or position dared not block their way.

So the crowd, with a "let's watch the show" attitude, stood on the side of the street, sighing and lamenting as they gazed at the endless procession of horse-drawn carriages.

Of course, ordinary people who are not qualified to step into the Duan family's backyard and witness the wedding in person can still go to the restaurants managed by the Duan and Su families to join in the fun.

Those of certain status and position were naturally fortunate enough to witness firsthand this marriage between two top-tier families, a union worthy of being recorded in history.

The Duan family.

It is about four or five kilometers outside Xiangren City.

The Duan family mansion, which is roughly the same size as Xiangren City, is now surrounded by guests from all directions. Almost all the gates are marked with carriage tracks, and a large number of precious dowries are being delivered into the Duan family mansion.

"Congratulations, Brother Duan!"

Several young noblemen dressed in luxurious attire were all smiles, congratulating Duan Yu one after another.

Duan Yu, however, had not changed into Sina's attire at this moment. Instead, he wore a pure white long robe and held a folding fan tightly in his hand, still exuding the elegant and refined charm of a gentleman.

"Thank you all for coming. I thank you again."

Although he had only met these people briefly, he was now standing as the groom in front of the gate of the Duan family's backyard to greet the guests, so he naturally couldn't be too formal.

"No need to thank us, it's just your Duan family's wedding, of course we'll give a bride price~"
