The next morning, the constables began escorting the two men out. Upon arriving at the courtroom, they saw a row of constables holding batons, neatly arranged, shouting "Majesty!"

Huang Chenghe and Su Zinong were terrified, thinking that they would be hit with dozens more lashes, but their buttocks couldn't take it.

Fortunately, the constables were just going through the motions, giving them a lecture and warnings, telling them not to drink too much alcohol, not to fight, and not to bang the drum at will, and then kicked them out.

I later heard that more than a dozen people were jailed last night for fighting while drunk, but fortunately, the city has enough jail cells.

There are plenty of idiots out there!

Back at the inn, Qin Xiangxue saw the two men behaving strangely. After hearing Su Zinong's account of what had happened, Qin Xiangxue almost laughed herself to death.

"You guys are so silly and funny, ruining my precious rouge. Um, rouge babies, I'm so sorry!" Qin Xiangxue covered her mouth and laughed.

"I'll buy it for you next time, okay?" Huang Chenghe said irritably, feeling annoyed that Qin Xiangxue only cared about rouge and not about people.

After washing their faces and changing into clean clothes, the three of them went out for breakfast. After finally finishing breakfast, they headed towards Goddess Mountain.

Since they were going up the mountain, the carriage did not come along, and the three of them walked.

The road was lined with guests, in twos and threes. Many young people seemed to be there for sightseeing and personal experience, chatting and laughing, while many others were discussing the wedding banquet.

Some people agreed, saying that love truly transcends age gaps, which is truly admirable.

Some people find it unbelievable that a 19-year-old and a 91-year-old could develop such feelings.

Most people came with the intention of watching the spectacle.

"Why did you two come? Wasn't there danger?" Qin Xiangxue asked.

"I approve of this marriage. Of course, it's not up to me to approve of it, but I sincerely wish them well. I think it's everyone's freedom to choose who to be with and what kind of marriage to have. We shouldn't be too concerned about the constraints of worldly rules." Huang Chenghe spoke logically and eloquently.

“My fate is rather tragic. As a rogue cultivator, I have no fellow disciples, no relatives or friends in the world, and I often have no fixed abode, wandering the world without any neighbors. So from childhood to adulthood, I have rarely had the opportunity to attend wedding banquets. This time, the Goddess Palace does not restrict rogue cultivators or people of any status, so I took this opportunity to come,” Su Zinong said calmly.

“It seems everyone has their own reasons, their own standpoint, and their own journey. But Brother Su, you’ve had it too rough! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely invite you to my wedding!” Qin Xiangxue said.

"What if you marry him? You've already seen his body, shouldn't you take some responsibility?" Huang Chenghe teased.

"Go away, go away, you're talking nonsense all day long. If I were to marry him, wouldn't I have to invite him even more? I'm just a normal person, here to watch the fun, and I've been cooped up at home for too long, so I'm getting some fresh air. Whether it's sightseeing or making friends, it's fine." Qin Xiangxue seemed quite satisfied with the trip.

After a while, Qin Xiangxue said again, "At first I thought you came here to see the beautiful women."

"Looking at beautiful women is definitely one of the purposes!" Su Zinong grinned, speaking before Huang Chenghe could finish his sentence.

This Goddess Mountain is indeed teeming with beautiful women. Disciples of the Goddess Palace began to greet us three miles outside the palace gates.

They were indeed all elegant and beautiful, standing by the mountain path, smiling and welcoming the guests.

Upon arriving at the gate of the Goddess Palace, a steward greeted them and distributed wedding candies to the guests.

Each guest presented a gift.

Although Su Zinong and Huang Chenghe disguised themselves, they still wrote their real names on the gifts.

Many people brought gifts, and cartloads of them were transported back to the palace. The goddess in charge couldn't distinguish which gift came from whom, so she simply registered the names in a register.

From the foot of the mountain to the top, entering the Goddess Palace, it was indeed found that the entire Goddess Palace was filled with women.

Shennv Mountain is named for its peaks, which resemble the curves of a reclining beauty.

Later, the ancestors of the Goddess Palace built the Goddess Palace on this site, which has been in existence for hundreds of years.

The current Palace Master of the Goddess Palace is named Liu Qianyu, who is 91 years old and has a peak cultivation level of Seven Stars.

It is said that besides the Palace Master, the Goddess Palace also has one Eight-Star Elder, three Seven-Star Elders, and the steward who greeted guests at the gate just now is also a Six-Star cultivator. Therefore, the Goddess Palace is considered to be of above-average strength among cultivation sects.

More guests arrived later, and by noon there were nearly a thousand guests present.

Because of the large number of guests and the sunny weather, the wedding banquet was held directly on a wide green lawn at the Goddess Palace.

Hundreds of tables were neatly arranged on the grass.

A red carpet was laid in the middle of the aisle, and flowers were placed on both sides.

Under a clear sky, amidst the beautiful scenery of birdsong and fragrant flowers, and with many smiling guests, the entire venue was filled with a peaceful and joyous atmosphere.

The bride and groom walked hand in hand down the red carpet to the central platform.

The bride, Liu Qianyu, looked to be in her forties or fifties by worldly standards. She had some wrinkles on her face, but still retained her charm.

For cultivators at the peak of the Seven Stars level, their lifespan can reach over 160 years, and they are still considered middle-aged now.

The groom was very handsome, sunny, with red lips and white teeth. He looked youthful and tall, and his red suit made his fair skin stand out even more.

"Even whiter than the two of you!" Qin Xiangxue commented from the side.

"You like this type?" Huang Chenghe asked tentatively.

“Most women probably like this type!” Su Zinong interjected from the side.

“That’s true,” Huang Chenghe couldn’t help but agree.

"I don't know what type I like. Maybe I'll only know when I see him and suddenly realize, 'Yes, he's the one...'" Qin Xiangxue said mysteriously.

“Just do as you please,” Su Zinong remarked.

"I'm confused." Huang Chenghe opened a paper fan and fanned himself. The weather was already cool enough, and no one knew why he was fanning himself. Perhaps it was just to show off his elegant demeanor as a refined gentleman in this turbulent world.

Standing on the central stage, Liu Qianyu said, "Thank you all for coming from afar to attend my wedding with Bai Yansha. Last year, I met Yansha by chance. At ninety years old, I fell in love for the first time and have been hopelessly in love ever since. Yansha also had deep feelings for me, and we hit it off immediately, thus becoming husband and wife. Thank you again for coming from afar to bless us and witness our love. The banquet was simple and the hospitality was inadequate; please forgive us!"

The guests below the stage urged the groom to say a few words as well.

Bai Yansha took two steps forward, cleared his throat, and said with a smile, "Thank you everyone! Perhaps many people will question the age difference between me and my bride, and some even say that I covet the power and wealth of the Goddess Palace. My family is Baisha Fortress. Although we are not a prestigious family, we are still a considerable family in the south, with immense wealth. We do not covet the Goddess Palace's techniques or money. I hereby declare: I will not accept any techniques or money from the Goddess Palace! I hope that in the future, when people talk about us, they will only think of our pure, age-gap romance, and not other utilitarian things. Thank you everyone!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

At this moment, the head steward of the Goddess Palace went up to the stage and said, "Distinguished guests, if anyone has any blessings or words of blessing, please come up to the stage and say them. If not, we will begin the banquet immediately."

However, at that moment, someone stood up and shouted, "I object!"
