Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality

Chapter 21 The County Magistrate’s Daughter’s Wedding, an Immortal Cultivator?

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

As soon as He Ling arrived at the yamen, he saw Sun Qingshan, whom he had met before.

Sun Qingshan was the constable who had registered outside the training ground before. His eyes lit up when he saw He Ling and he greeted He Ling enthusiastically.

Over the years, he loved to run to He Ling no matter what, but He Ling's attitude was always lukewarm. It had been like this for two years, and he was getting anxious.

"Ling'er, you're here."

He Ling rolled her eyes. This Sun Qingshan was as thick-skinned as a city wall. She had deliberately spoken coldly to him, but Sun Qingshan still used such an intimate name for her.

She nodded and ignored Sun Qingshan.

After a while, several more constables came over one after another.

A constable arrived and saw Sun Qingshan staring at He Ling next to him. He was speechless. Sister Ling'er's attitude was so obvious, but Sun Qingshan acted as if he didn't see it.

Speaking of which, Sun Qingshan's conditions were not bad. His parents were local merchants, he had a stable job in the government, and was well-paid. He was also good-looking, but he had been hanging on He Ling's tree for a long time. Even now, at the age of 22, he still hadn't married.

In this era, men and women generally started talking about marriage when they were around 18 or 19 years old. If Sun Qingshan had gone to a matchmaker at his age, he would have been disliked for being too old.

But since they were willing, he couldn't say anything. After sitting for a while, he saw more and more constables arriving. He asked Sun Qingshan, who had arrived first, curiously, "Brother Sun, do you know why we've gathered here this time? I haven't heard of any major events recently."

Sun Qingshan then turned around and glanced at the constable behind him. "It's Xiaowu. I'm not too sure, but I heard it might be related to the county magistrate."

Xiaowu wanted to ask more questions, but he saw Lei Liyan walking towards him in a hurry, so Xiaowu immediately shut his mouth.

Everyone quickly lined up and stood.

Lei Liyan glanced around at the crowd and saw that everyone was present. He then said, "I believe some of you already know that the county magistrate's daughter will be getting married the day after tomorrow. All the prominent figures in Yangshui County will be attending."

He paused before continuing:

"If something goes wrong with these big shots, not only you but also I will lose my hat and face jail time."

"You all understand the stakes involved, so be extremely vigilant for the next few days, okay?"

The detectives shouted in unison, "Got it!"

Then the constable next to Lei Liyan explained to everyone the areas they were responsible for and their responsibilities.

However, He Ling was called out alone.

Lei Liyan looked at the woman in front of him. She had a long breath, a full forehead, and especially her big, bright eyes, which flashed a gleam of light from time to time.

The more Lei Liyan looked at her, the more frightened he became. This woman might have become even stronger.

Lei Liyan kept staring at He Ling, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. However, he was her superior after all. She clasped her fists towards Lei Liyan and said, "Captain Lei, I wonder if you called me here alone because of something else?"

Lei Liyan nodded and politely cupped his fists towards He Ling before saying, "Detective He, I know you are a skilled martial artist and you must have other motives in coming to Yangshui County. However, this matter is truly of great importance, and I hope you will give it your all."

"Captain Lei, you are too kind. One should do his job according to his position. I naturally understand this principle. Captain Lei, just give your orders." He Ling also said politely.

"Then I'll have to trouble Constable He."

"The magistrate's daughter will be getting married in two days. You will follow me and stay by his side, protecting him closely."

He Ling was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Lei Liyan would trust her so much and entrust her with such an important task as protecting the county magistrate.

However, He Ling didn't say much, and politely said, "I understand."

Two days later, at Chen Mansion.

Lei Liyan took He Ling through a hall decorated in red and saw a middle-aged man with a bookish air. This was the magistrate of Yangshui County - Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was not wearing official uniform, but a scholar's hat and a green robe. He had no beard on his face and looked quite kind.

He first glanced at He Ling, then smiled and said, "Are you the woman Li Yan often mentioned, whose martial arts skills are no less than his?"

He Ling clasped his fists towards Chen Yi and said calmly, "Master Chen, your praise is unmerited. I only possess rudimentary martial arts skills that are not up to par. I can never compare to Chief Constable Lei."

Lei Liyan broke out in a cold sweat on his back. This woman was really bold. She was obviously extending an olive branch to you, but you didn't even know how to accept it.

Chen Yi frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed his brows and stopped looking at He Ling. "Let's go. Mei'er's groom should be here soon."

After saying that, Lei Liyan and He Ling followed Chen Yi out.

The original wedding rules were that the groom would pick up the bride and then get married at the husband's house, but Chen Yi was a county magistrate and had too much face.

Her husband's family was a prominent family in Yangshui County, and they did not dare to offend Chen Yi, so they decided to hold the wedding at Chen's house.

After that, the bride-picking and wedding ceremony went smoothly, but He Ling didn't get to see what the magistrate's daughter looked like, which made him feel a little sorry.

As the atmosphere reached its climax, the guests took their seats one after another.

However, Chen Yi announced at this time that an important guest had not yet arrived, so the banquet could not begin.

Everyone waited until noon, when the sun was already at its highest point. They all had some complaints, but for the sake of Prefect Chen Yi, they did not dare to show them.

Even the groom beside him was getting a little impatient and quietly asked the bride who had such a great reputation that he could make everyone wait for so long.

But before he could open his mouth, he heard a voice out of nowhere.

"Mei'er is getting married today, but I'm late."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired figure with an immortal look appeared in the air, stepping on a five-foot sword.

The hall, which had been a bit noisy, immediately became quiet, and all the guests stared at the white-haired figure in amazement.

He Ling and Lei Liyan also stared with their eyes wide open, and the three big words "immortal cultivator" instantly appeared in He Ling's mind.

Chen Yi quickly stood up to greet him, "Master Lu, you can come whenever you want. Any time is suitable."

The white-haired old man known as Master Lu laughed and controlled the sword to slowly land in front of Chen Yi.

After landing, his face turned a little pale, but then immediately returned to normal.

However, it was still discovered by the sharp-eyed He Ling.
