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

Fan Luokui kept a straight face, trying her best to maintain an indifferent attitude.

Jiang Shaoguang's lips twitched, and then he burst out laughing.

"Okay~ Let's hold hands for now~"

So their hands intertwined and tightened their grip.

And it was at the moment their fingers intertwined—

The scene before Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang was strangely distorted. The world seemed to collapse at that moment. Endless turbulent currents flew past them, and in the chaos that their consciousness could not explore or understand, color returned once again.

This time, what they saw was a still image.

It was a man...

A slightly thin but elegant and gentlemanly young man.

Wearing a bright red robe, with a scarlet flower tied around his waist and a groom's hat on his head, he leaned against the cabinet by the bedside, smiling softly.

The other person, dressed in the bride's gorgeous and beautiful gown, with a veil covering her face, sat upright on the edge of the bed, her hands clenched into fists as if she were somewhat nervous.

The man smiled as he approached the bride and whispered:

"Xue'er..."

"I love you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the red veil, revealing the bride's exceptionally beautiful face.

The moment the veil was lifted, Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang saw the bride's face.

Those were faces they knew all too well.

boom!

The images in my mind shattered instantly, everything turning into scattered white fragments that dissipated into nothingness in mid-air and vanished without a trace.

When the two came to their senses, they were still lying on the wedding bed, as if nothing had happened.

No—that's not true.

"This is……"

Fan Luokui was shocked to discover that several streaks of dazzling golden light suddenly flashed on the ring finger of her right hand, which was intertwined with Jiang Shaoguang's.

When the light faded, the two of them saw what was hidden beneath the golden light.

It was a ring.

It is a pale gold gemstone set with an unidentified gem that resembles a snowflake and exudes a cold aura. If you look closely inside the gemstone, you will find that it seems to contain a snowfield, with swirling snowflakes swaying in the cold wind.

"It seems... this is what was hidden in this bridal chamber."

"Hmm." Fan Luokui agreed with Jiang Shaoguang, but then thought of something important: "More importantly, Third Senior Brother, did you just see...?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Suddenly, a sound of space rupturing came from above the center of the bridal chamber. Cracks suddenly appeared in the void, and spells emerged from the strange and complex formation.

The next moment, four figures suddenly descended from the sky.

Of course, they all fell down—

A certain star girl, who was surrounded by holy light, was quite lucky. Because a certain tall senior brother was quite reliable, he protected her during the fall. Therefore, after the fall, she only landed on Gu Wangjun's strong chest.

Meanwhile, a black-haired girl who was holding a strange sphere fell face-first into the mud along with her wine gourd.

As for the silver-haired maid girl—

She rolled over to dissipate the impact after landing, but unfortunately, she rolled too far and her head hit the bed frame.

"I bumped my head again..."

Ye Yuchan clutched her head in pain, then straightened her back while maintaining her duck-sitting posture.

The moment she opened her eyes, what she saw was Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang lying on the wedding bed, their fingers intertwined, their faces completely bewildered.

Xiao Yuchan froze for a second, then took a deep breath, her eyes revealing a look of horror.

"You two...you're making pretty fast progress..."

38.Advent

The appearance of Ye Yuchan and the others was truly unexpected.

They did not enter from outside the door, but rather in a rather strange way—by falling from directly above the bridal chamber through an unknown spatial rift.

She really fell... because a girl named Zhang Ruoxue landed face-first in the mud, and her chin still hurts.

According to them, they were originally inside a tower called the Five-Liu Exquisite Pagoda. Then the space shattered, and everyone felt an extremely real sense of falling, as if they had fallen from a great height.

This terrifying feeling of falling lasted for about half a minute, during which time indescribable darkness surged all around.

When the darkness dissipates and the light returns, that will be the time when everyone lands.

So, although the process was somewhat strange, thankfully—

Everyone from Yuntian Academy has arrived.

Despite this, instead of cheering, everyone focused their attention on a girl sitting on a red carpet, rubbing her head and holding a strange round bead in her hand.

Zhang Ruoxue.

This girl seemed to be suddenly filled with endless mysteries.

"Wha...what's going on?"

Once she regained consciousness, Zhang Ruoxue looked around. The first thing she noticed was the festive bright red color around her and the particularly eye-catching decorations in the bridal chamber.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang hurriedly got off the red bed, their faces slightly flushed.

Then she discovered—

Lin Yuan, who had returned to her original form upon seeing Yun Ping; Jiang Yuetian, standing gracefully not far away with a complex expression; and Duan Xingchen, who stood cautiously beside Gu Wangjun, watching her with utmost care…

And Ye Yuchan, sitting next to her teacher, began to drink tea and prepare to watch the show.

What's going on?

Zhang Ruoxue scratched her face, not quite understanding why everyone was staring at her like that: "Um... is there something on my face?"

There's nothing on your face.

Jiang Yuetian sighed and then said, "But there seems to be something wrong with your face."

"question?"

Zhang Ruoxue patted her face, then pinched it a couple of times, seemingly at a loss. After feeling the real pain, she tilted her head blankly: "What's wrong? It's the same as before..."

Jiang Yuetian was about to say something about Zhang Ruoxue's completely neutral reaction when Jiang Shaoguang and Fan Luokui exchanged a glance. Finally, Fan Luokui asked the question.

"In fact, just now... my third senior brother and I both witnessed a very realistic scene..."

"A slightly thin-looking man, dressed in a wedding suit, lifted the red veil of a woman named Xue'er. I think that must be what happened within the Azure Sky Alliance."

"Azure Sky Alliance?"

Duan Xingchen was startled. He glanced at his senior brother beside him and then excitedly asked, "Is this the Azure Sky Alliance?"

"To be precise, it's the ruins of the Azure Sky Alliance." Jiang Shaoguang nodded, looking curiously at his new junior sister: "Why are you suddenly asking this? Xingchen, do you have any clues?"

"Let's say we have some!"

Duan Xingchen paused for a moment, then told everyone about the matter between Liu Xunkong and Qu Wenxue.

However, she did not tell Liu Xun Kong's remnant soul what he said in the end, because it might not be true, and false information would only affect everyone's judgment.

After hearing what Duan Xingchen said, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Until Fan Luokui made her own analysis:

"So, the people we saw in that scene were Liu Xun Kong, the former leader of the Azure Sky Alliance, and Qu Wen Xue."

—After all, it was no coincidence that the gaunt man had called his bride Xue'er.

Even so... what does that have to do with me?

Zhang Ruoxue still expressed her confusion about this.

He's a fool after all...

Jiang Shaoguang sighed and looked helplessly at his silly junior sister before delivering his crucial testimony.

"The key point is, what Qu Wenxue looks like..."

"I'm no different from you."

……

"what?"

Zhang Ruoxue pointed to herself, staring at everyone in disbelief: "That Qu Wenxue looks exactly like me?"

"Yes."

Duan Xingchen nodded, then took out the pieced-together scroll from his storage ring.

She unfurled the scroll and displayed it on the table for everyone to see.

—That was indeed Zhang Ruoxue.

Aside from his overly cold expression and the fierce glint in his eyes, he exuded an exceptionally desolate and bleak aura...

Apart from his dissimilar expression, his appearance was absolutely identical.

Even Zhang Ruoxue was so frightened when she saw the painting that she touched her own face.

so similar.

No... it's beyond just resemblance.

It was as if Zhang Ruoxue had once stepped into this painting.

"This...this..."

Zhang Ruoxue's eyes widened, momentarily bewildered.
