Chapter 201 The Wedding Was Ambushed
Chapter 201 The Wedding Was Ambushed
The ceremony began soon after.
The wedding officiant shouted, "Marriage certificate—"
Immediately, two disciples came forward carrying a wine-red sandalwood tray. On the tray was a white scroll tied with a red silk bow.
The host picked up the scroll with both hands, untied the bow, and placed the silk back into the plate.
Then, with a solemn expression, he opened the scroll and read aloud:
"Two families unite in marriage, a covenant is made in one hall, a blessed union is forever bound, a perfect match. Behold the peach blossoms in full bloom today, a sign of a harmonious and prosperous home. May your descendants flourish and prosper in the years to come. With vows of lifelong commitment, let us write our pledge on fine paper, and record our love in the marriage register."
Their marriage certificate is written in black and white on white paper.
The officiant bowed before the couple, respectfully holding the marriage certificate above his head, waiting for them to sign their names.
But at this moment, Yu Yang did something shocking: he destroyed the marriage certificate.
It was torn in half and burned.
The entire room fell silent!
Below the stage, the crowd began to whisper among themselves:
"What's wrong with this young imperial advisor? They were just being all lovey-dovey a moment ago, why did he suddenly tear up the marriage certificate?"
"I've heard that the Eldest Princess is adamant. Could there be some hidden reason behind Young Master Yu's actions?"
"Does the young imperial advisor think that the princess, being just a mortal, is not good enough for him?"
"This is too shocking! A perfectly good wedding has just fallen through. I need to hurry back and tell the neighbors."
Those around her immediately stopped her absurd act: "Are you out of your mind!"
You think you can just casually gossip about the gods?
On stage,
Ali stood there, stunned, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Is he unhappy with his pressure to get married? Is that why he chose to put himself in a difficult position on such an important occasion?
Or are you still unwilling to give me this title?
Or was he coerced?
"Be good, wait."
Seeing Ali's constantly changing expression, Yu Yang knew that his little wife had a fiery temper, so he quickly formed a hand seal.
Suddenly, a bright yellow scroll resembling an imperial edict appeared out of thin air, with several lines of white characters gleaming with golden light:
"A marriage certificate serves as a petition to Heaven above and a call to Heaven below."
When this is presented to the highest heavens, all the ancestral masters will bear witness.
To betray a beautiful woman is to defy Heaven.
The crime of deceiving Heaven will result in death and the extinction of one's moral character.
To betray a beautiful woman is to defy the will of Heaven.
He will be erased from the Three Realms and never reincarnate.
The moment the marriage certificate appeared, the ground floor erupted in an uproar, with someone exclaiming, "This is... a marriage certificate from home!"
A person nearby asked curiously, "What is a marriage certificate issued upon arrival at home?"
Nangong Sheng clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, I've seen it all now. I have to say, that's not a marriage certificate, it's a death warrant!"
Taoist partners are meant to be together through life and death!
The old national advisor chuckled and stroked his beard: "In Taoism, there is no such thing as divorce, only widowhood."
Lord of the Black Market: It has to be a ruthless cultivator.
Sikong Wanqing: I dare not marry a Taoist priest casually because he is too ruthless. Betrayal means death and the annihilation of the soul; who dares to make such an oath lightly?
Nangong Jing: In Taoism, a Taoist couple forms a bond that binds them together in life and death, which is different from marriage in ordinary families. In our marriages, there are no restrictions except for gender, but in Taoism, there are restrictions except for gender.
Xing Beilu clapped his hands in approval, clearly very satisfied with the marriage certificate: "Husbands and wives influence each other, as do friends and relatives. But in Taoism, if one has a problem, the other will also have problems; the connection between them is deeper than that between husband and wife. Taoist marriage certificates are burned before the ancestors, effectively locking them away in the afterlife."
As expected, the old national teacher waved his hand, and Samadhi True Fire instantly ignited in the air, enveloping the marriage certificate like a firework rising into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
The Hokage disappeared, and the marriage certificate bearing their names could no longer be seen in the air.
On the stage, Yu Yang looked at Ali with deep affection: "Now, you can't escape anymore."
Ali: "!!!"
Still burning?
Ali was slightly angry, but refrained from lashing out because of the many guests in the room. She secretly pinched Yu Yang's arm and gritted her teeth: "Where's the marriage certificate? Why did you burn it?"
"In Taoism, marriage certificates are burned for our ancestors, and from then on, our fortunes will be intertwined."
"what?"
"Don't you know?"
Do I look like I know?
"Hey hey hey..."
Seeing his sly smile, Ali immediately understood: "You did this on purpose?!"
I'm afraid you won't agree.
"Rest assured, I, Yu Yang, will be loyal to you for the rest of my life and will never betray you."
Ali was slightly taken aback, but did not speak.
She had nothing to be afraid of; she was just unsure of her true feelings.
However, it's not bad that he attaches so much importance to it.
"then you……"
Ali said nonchalantly, "What about me? The mountains and forests do not swear oaths to the seasons; their prosperity and decline are left to fate."
Yu Yang held Ali's shoulders and said, "Ali."
"I am cold-hearted by nature."
"..."
“Sigh,” Ali knew what he wanted to hear, and although she couldn’t bear it, she could only pour cold water on him on such an important day: “You know, I’ve long been prepared to grow old alone. Although I love you, I’m not to the point where I’m so in love that I can’t live without you.”
Listen to me, I'm only doing this because you're good to me. If you ever stop treating me well, I'll still leave.
Yu Yang hugged her tightly: "No, I will always love you and always be good to you. You will have everything that others have, and I will not let you envy other people's wives."
Xia Li smiled and said, "Thank you for being so understanding of my sensitive and suspicious nature."
"It's okay, I know what kind of person you are. It's already my greatest honor that you're willing to marry me. We have so much life ahead of us, I'll make sure you completely trust me. Then, we'll have an even grander wedding. Okay?"
Sensing Yu Yang's trembling, Xia Li opened her mouth, wanting to object, but ultimately said, "Okay."
For Yu Yang, this is something he has been hoping for for two lifetimes, so let's not discourage him anymore.
She patted Yu Yang on the back and said gently, "I'm a slow starter. But since I've chosen you, I'll be loyal to you. I won't abandon you if you don't leave me. If you make an unforgivable mistake, I won't let you off the hook either."
"I won't."
"Who can say for sure? Maybe you love me now, but what about later? Time is the most forgiving yet the most cruel thing."
Yu Yang laughed heartily: "How could time hinder love? Time will tell."
Time reveals true character. It's not about how long it takes to be good to someone, but rather that every day is the best proof of love, and every day, every month, every year, every lifetime is an answer to the question of love for her.
Compared to Yu Yang's confident promises, A Li was filled with worry.
Yu Yang is doing too well now, so well that she feels very uneasy.
She desperately wanted to tell Yu Yang: If we can't grow old together, please don't come near me. You can't bear it, and I don't want to go through it again.
As a girl,
How could she not want a sweet romance? But she was even more afraid of encountering Xue Pinggui, Hong Shixian, and Chen Shimei.
Suddenly, a large fireball hurtled towards Yu Yang and his companion.
Yu Yang's eyes narrowed, and he quickly pulled Ali aside to avoid the danger.
Where the fireball landed, only scorched earth remained. The crowd panicked and fled in all directions.
"Who is it?" Yu Yang shouted, his hands already gathering spiritual energy, ready to fight at any moment.
A dark figure slowly emerged.
Xia Li's eyes widened: "...It's you!"
