You're so beautiful, and you still want to cancel the engagement?

In the garden, a stunningly beautiful woman in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes gave a wry smile, her lips slightly pursed: "Heh..."

Am I really going to be forced to marry that ugly guy?

Is that kid really dead in that seabed?

They must be dead, right?

However, why was Xiao Yanran so certain that he was still alive?

Can I still have hope for him?

"Palace Master? Palace Master?" The woman dressed as a maid knelt on the ground and looked up at the back of the woman in red.

"Summon Bai Ling and Bai Ying to see me immediately!" the woman in red said in a deep voice.

"Yes, ma'am!" The maid immediately stood up, turned around, and disappeared without a sound.

In just a few seconds, two women in white dresses appeared in the garden at the same time and knelt down in unison about ten meters away from the woman in red.

"Bai Ling comes to meet the Lord of the Palace!"

"White Shadow greets Your Highness!"

Their voices were so in sync.

The woman in red, with her back to them, said calmly, "No need for formalities!"

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master!" Bai Ling and Bai Ying replied in unison, then stood up and looked at the woman in red with curiosity.

Because they had not been summoned by Gong Qingcheng, the master of the Heavenly Palace, for decades.

It all started fifty years ago when she agreed to marry that ugly third-generation tyrant from the Celestial Court.

Ever since she reluctantly agreed to the marriage, she has never allowed Bai Ling and Bai Ying to see her again.

This is because she felt that she had been too conservative back then. If she had let go and allowed her two sisters to give Ye Fei more help earlier, perhaps she wouldn't be in this situation today.

On the contrary, because Bai Ling had given Ye Fei too much help, in order not to offend the Celestial Court, she punished Bai Ling by making her reflect on her mistakes by facing the wall for ten years.

She actually felt guilty towards the two sisters, but because of the difference in their roles as mistress and servant, she couldn't express her apologies to them.

Therefore, when she was forced to agree to this marriage fifty years ago, all she could do was stop them from serving her and felt ashamed to face them.

In particular, the astonishing strength that Bai Ying displayed after meeting Ye Fei further proves that if she had given Ye Fei a helping hand back then, things would definitely not have ended this way.

Ultimately, it's all my fault for not fully trusting my master's words back then. If she had helped Ye Fei without any reservations, like Bai Ling did, I wouldn't be in such a passive position.

"Lord Palace Master?" Seeing that Gong Qingcheng hadn't spoken for so long, Bai Ling called out weakly again, "I wonder what important matter you have summoned us sisters for?"

"I'm leaving!" Gong Qingcheng finally said softly, "From now on, I'll hand over this Heavenly Palace to you. I plan to let Bai Ying inherit my position as Palace Master. From today onwards, he will be the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, and everything in the Yunzhou Heavenly Palace will be under his command!"

"Huh?" Bai Ying and Bai Ling were both stunned and speechless, the two sisters turning to stone on the spot.

It was all so sudden that not only Bai Ling was surprised, but Bai Ying herself never dreamed that one day she would become the master of the Heavenly Palace Temple.

Immediately afterward, Bai Ling hurriedly said, "Palace Master, this, this... what virtue or ability does Sister Bai Ying possess? How could she possibly be qualified for the position of Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace? I'm afraid she will ruin the Heavenly Palace!"

"Yes!" Bai Ying hurriedly echoed, "Lord Palace Master, Ying'er's abilities are limited, how dare I undertake such a great task!"

"Alright..." Gong Qingcheng replied softly, "Ying'er, I have long seen that you possess a terrifying energy that even I am wary of, and this is precisely what you obtained when you went down to the mortal realm to see Ye Fei. Although you have never mentioned this to me over the years, do you think I, Gong Qingcheng, am a fool?"

"Ah?" Bai Ying trembled in fright. "This servant wouldn't dare! Please, Your Highness, let me explain..."

"Don't panic!" Gong Qingcheng said calmly, "There are some things I naturally understand. The reason you didn't tell me is because you were worried about the little devils from the Celestial Court around me. You were protecting me in secret, and also protecting yourself. This is understandable! If I didn't trust the two of you, why would I treat you two so specially?"

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master, for your understanding!" Bai Ying replied respectfully, kneeling on the ground.

"From this day forward, you no longer need to belittle yourself!" Gong Qingcheng finally turned around slowly and walked to Bai Ying and Bai Ling. She personally helped Bai Ying up and said to Bai Ying, "From this moment on, you are the Temple Master!"

Swish!

After Gong Qingcheng finished speaking, she turned around, took a step, and disappeared.

The next second, Bai Ying looked down and found a very ancient-looking golden token in his hand, with the four characters "Heavenly Palace Divine Token" written on it.

Upon seeing the token, both Bai Ying and Bai Ling were terrified and turned pale.

Because no one knew better than them that this token could not only command the millions of heavenly soldiers of the Heavenly Palace, but also could activate the Heavenly Palace Divine Array left over from ancient times at any time simply by holding the token.

……

"The auspicious time has arrived, lift the sedan chair!!!"

Just then, a deep, resonant old man's voice seemed to crash down from the heavens, making it clearly audible for tens of thousands of miles around the Heavenly Palace.

The next second, all the millions of cultivators under the heavens and earth of Yunzhou looked up at the sky in unison.

But in the distant sky, a red sedan chair carried by thousands of people stretched across the clouds.

Tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers dressed in black armor surrounded the giant bridal sedan chair, protecting it from the front and back.

Just then, a person clad in silver armor suddenly leaped up from the ground, soaring into the sky and landing directly in front of the bridal sedan chair: "Hehe, beautiful lady, congratulations on your marriage! Um, don't misunderstand, I'm not here to steal the bride, I just want to ask you about a few people!"
