Chaos Spirit Field

Chapter 16 Returning to the Sect

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was Yang Xiaozhu and Luo Mei's wedding day. Just as the ceremony was about to begin, the clear cry of a crane echoed from the sky. Everyone looked up to see a snow-white crane slowly descending from the clouds. Atop the crane, two figures stood.

One was handsome and elegant, his figure standing tall as a pine tree. His face was cold and stern, his eyes deep and piercing, as if he were completely alien to this world. He wore a black robe that rustled in the wind, highlighting his otherworldly demeanor. The other was a childlike figure, delicate and fair, as delicate and lovely as a jade sculpture. However, his expression was somewhat arrogant, as if he disdained everyone around him.

Seeing these two people, Yang Xiaochan was overjoyed and hurried forward to greet them, saying with a smile: "Yulong, you are finally here! This must be your new disciple, right?"

Tan Tai Yulong said expressionlessly, "Xiao Chan, this is my disciple Ouyang Bufan, the thirteenth son of the Lord of Daliang. Bufan, I haven't met your master's wife yet."

"Ouyang Bufan greets Master's wife. Upon hearing that Master's wife's brother is getting married today, he has brought a message from the Lord of Daliang. Yang Xiaozhu steps forward to receive it."

Yang Xiaochan looked a little unhappy. She didn't like the disciple her husband had accepted. The decree could have been read out after the wedding. No one wanted to see their loved ones groveling before others.

The guests of Luo Mansion knelt down in unison, and only a few people did not kneel on the ground. It was impossible for a cultivator to kneel down to a secular emperor.

Tan Tai Yulong nodded slightly to Zhao Shanhe and said, "Although his spiritual roots are not good enough, at least he still has the backbone of an immortal cultivator. Xiaochan, this must be your nephew Zhao Shanhe."

Yang Xiaochan said, "Shanhe, this is my husband, Tantai Yulong."

"Shanhe, meet your uncle."

"This bottle of medicine is for you, practice well."

"Thank you, uncle."

Zhao Shanhe hurriedly caught the pill bottle that Tantai Yulong tossed over. The pills were the same ones his aunt had given him—Qi-refining pills. Judging by the size of the bottle, there were probably a hundred pills. He saw Ouyang Bufan's expression change, but he quickly adjusted himself, and he became wary of him.

Ouyang Bufan began to read the imperial edict: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Yang Xiaozhu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has made great contributions to the country. ...He is hereby enthroned as the King of Loyalty and Righteousness."

After hearing the imperial edict, Yang Xiaochan's expression softened a lot. The king of Daliang Kingdom was quite a good person. Yang Xiaozhu happily accepted the imperial edict. He didn't expect that as soon as his elder sister came back, he would become a prince. His status and position would surpass that of his father-in-law Luo Tian. He always felt that he was not worthy of Luo Mei before, but now it seemed that Luo Mei was marrying above his status.

Tan Tai Yu Long said, "Xiao Chan, we've been out for too long this time. Now that the wedding is over, it's time to return to the sect. There's a difference between immortals and mortals, and we can't stay in the mortal world for too long."

"Yulong, I understand."

Ouyang Bufan was enjoying everyone's compliments at the venue when a servant suddenly jumped out and put a knife to his neck, causing chaos at the wedding scene.

Luo Tian stopped the commotion and said, "How dare you rats act so presumptuously in front of the Immortal Master?"

Zhao Dabao recognized the man, who turned out to be Zhao Dabao from the same village. He said, "Zhao Dagou, every wrong has its perpetrator. You must avenge General Zhao and find Luo Tian. Do not harm any innocent people and let the Thirteenth Prince go."

Luo Tian felt a little depressed after hearing what Zhao Dabao said. He guessed Zhao Dagou's identity and said, "Brother Zhao Dagou, I was helpless when I didn't send troops to rescue General Zhao Kuo. If you release the Thirteenth Prince, everything will be fine."

Zhao Dagou said, "Luo Tian, you despicable villain, you are forced to speak so nicely. If you hadn't stood by and watched someone die, the Zhao army wouldn't have been annihilated. I want to avenge your entire Luo family and your fallen comrades in the Zhao army."

Zhao Dabao said, "Big Dog, we are just small soldiers. It's not easy to survive. What happened back then is not entirely General Luo Tian's fault. Zhao Kuo acted on his own will, so we can't blame others. Today is my brother-in-law's wedding. My eldest sister and brother-in-law are both immortal masters. Can you give me some face?"

Zhao Dagou understood what Zhao Dabao meant and said, "Zhao Dabao, you are a traitor and you are not worthy of being a member of the Zhao Family Army."

"Big Dog, we are just small soldiers. What does the Zhao Family Army have to do with you? You have three brothers, and you are the only one left. You haven't even found a wife yet. If you really die, how can you be worthy of our ancestors and our two dead brothers?"

Luo Tian said, "Brother Zhao Dagou, please don't be impulsive. Every wrong has its perpetrator. I am willing to exchange my own head for the life of the Thirteenth Prince."

"You are now committing suicide."

Luo Tian took out the sword in his hand without hesitation and was about to commit suicide. Zhao Dagou was stunned for a moment, and a flying sword took him out of Luo Mansion.

Yang Xiaochan intervened because it was her brother's wedding, and perhaps she was trying to fulfill her brother-in-law's brotherly love. She didn't want to kill Zhao Dagou.

Luo Tian hurried forward to pay his respects. He said, "Thank you, Master Yang, for your help. Thirteenth Prince, I am sorry to have frightened you."

Ouyang Bufan said, "General Luo, this is not your fault. This prince was too careless, so the bad guys took advantage of us. Let's continue with the wedding and don't miss the auspicious time for the King of Loyalty."

The wedding was over, and when it was time to say goodbye, Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but shed tears. He didn't know how many years he would be gone, so he boarded the crane reluctantly.

Ouyang Bufan said, "Zhao Shanhe, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. Men don't shed tears easily. Do you think you should?"

"Brother Bufan, the imperial family is the most ruthless. There are some emotions you don't understand. The immortal way is ruthless, but humans are affectionate. The concern of my family will become the driving force for my growth."

"Ah"

The sneezing sound came from Luo Tianshuang. Ouyang Bufan took off his cloak and said, "Junior Sister Tianshuang, put on my cloak and you won't be cold anymore."

Zhao Shanhe took out a quilt from his storage bag and said, "Brother Bufan, Tianshuang is my wife. There's no need for you to show your affection. As the saying goes, a friend's wife shouldn't be teased. Wife, wrap yourself in the quilt and you'll be warm."

Luo Tianshuang took the quilt and wrapped herself in it. It was indeed much warmer. She said, "Husband, you are so kind. I want to eat candied haws."

Zhao Shanhe took out a string of candied haws from his storage bag and was about to hand it over, but a gust of wind blew by, and Luo Tianshuang's hands were empty.

"Aunt, there's a monster. My candied haws are gone."

Yang Xiaochan said, "Shanhe, don't make a fuss. Qingluan ate the candied haws and asked if there were any more."

"Aunt, who is Qingluan?"

"Your uncle's mount, the one that carries us flying, is the Qingluan."

"Qingluan, I still have nine skewers. I'll give one to my wife and one to my aunt. The rest are all yours. Don't take more than you want."

Ouyang Bufan said, "Zhao Shanhe, you left your master behind."

"My uncle doesn't like worldly things. I'll come back to honor him after I learn the art of spiritual cooking. Candied haws are a woman's favorite, and you can try these fish skin peanuts."

"I'm not welcome."

Tantai Yulong said, "Xiaochan, your nephew is quite worldly-wise, but rules are rules."

"Yulong, what do you think I should do with the mountains and rivers?"

"Qingluan said that it likes the food made by Zhao Shanhe. Why not let him feed the spirit beast?"

"I'll ask him what he means."

Yang Xiaochan said, "Shanhe, we'll be arriving at the sect soon. You have five elemental spiritual roots, so you can only stay outside the sect. I plan to let you take care of the spirit beasts. What do you think?"

"Aunt, I will listen to you. I'll leave Tianshuang to you."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your little wife."
