"Alright..."
Wan Yunting turned to look at Fang Yanxi, smiling and nodding. "Yanxi, Luotang, Ruoxi, Miaomiao, Yingying, Ke'er, thank you..."
"Hehe, Brother Yunting, don't say such mushy things, okay?"
Qi Miaomiao smiled and rolled her eyes at him, then asked curiously, "So, are the weddings going to be held together? Should we invite other people?"
Fang Yanxi added, "Forget it, let's just have it among ourselves!"
Wan Yunting was startled. He had actually wanted to invite their parents, but hearing Fang Yanxi say that, he understood her thoughts – she was afraid their parents would feel awkward if they met.
"Yes, Sister Yanxi is right, let's just have it among ourselves," Gu Luotang agreed with a smile.
Qi Miaomiao, Su Ke'er, and Duan Yingying naturally had no objections. Finally, seeing Zhou Ruoxi spacing out, they asked, "Sister Ruoxi, what do you think?"
Zhou Ruoxi, snapping back to attention, looked at Wan Yunting and the others, then nodded and smiled. "You guys decide."
"Okay, it's settled then."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, telling everyone to continue eating. However, he noticed that Zhou Ruoxi seemed preoccupied.
Later that evening, Wan Yunting went to Zhou Ruoxi's room and asked, "Ruoxi, what are you thinking about?"
"Why do you suddenly want to hold a wedding?"
Seeing that the man had asked, Zhou Ruoxi also asked curiously.
Wan Yunting went over and hugged her, smiling. "I just want to give you all a formal wedding ceremony. What, you don't like it?"
Zhou Ruoxi nestled in his arms, shaking her head. "Honestly, I never thought about it before. Besides, Luotang and Yanxi are different from me. Actually, it's fine the way we are now."
Wan Yunting understood what she meant and asked with a smile, "What about in the future? Do you really want to stay in the Emei sect forever?"
Zhou Ruoxi looked up, her autumn-like eyes meeting his. She said, "Uncle-Master Yunbai said that I will succeed the position of sect leader in the future!"
"Oh?"
Wan Yunting was surprised and then smiled. "If that's the case, then we should definitely have a wedding. At least you won't have any regrets, right?"
Zhou Ruoxi thought about it and smiled. "Alright, I can't win against you. I'll listen to you."
"Mm..."
Wan Yunting knew what she was thinking. The reason Zhou Ruoxi was like this was because she felt she couldn't always accompany Wan Yunting like Gu Luotang and Fang Yanxi. That's why she had never considered a wedding ceremony.
But every woman's heart yearns to wear the most beautiful wedding dress and marry the man she loves. Zhou Ruoxi was no exception.
At this time, Fang Yanxi, Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, Duan Yingying, and Su Ke'er were in the living room on the upper floor, enthusiastically discussing choosing wedding dresses. Seeing Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi come up, Qi Miaomiao immediately asked, "Brother Yunting, do you want Chinese style or Western style?"
Wan Yunting looked at them and smiled. "What do you guys think?"
"Chinese style!"
Gu Luotang was the first to raise her hand, followed by Su Ke'er and Qi Miaomiao. Zhou Ruoxi beside them also smiled, "I like Chinese style too."
"Alright, the minority obeys the majority. Then it's a Chinese wedding."
Fang Yanxi naturally preferred Western style, but seeing that Gu Luotang and the others liked Chinese style, she didn't have any objections.
"Then you guys busy yourselves first. I'll go out and arrange other things..."
Wan Yunting let them choose their wedding dresses. He then went out and called Tian Lang and Mei Ying, and gathered the guards of the Xiaoyao Pavilion to discuss the important matters of wedding preparations.
For this grand wedding, Wan Yunting decided not to invite their parents or the women's parents, making it a secret wedding.
Therefore, only those within the Xiaoyao Pavilion knew about it, and the preparations were carried out secretly, with the wedding scheduled for three days later.
"Does everyone know what to do?"
Wan Yunting called out to Tian Lang, Mei Ying, and the loyal guards and disciples of the Xiaoyao Pavilion.
"Understood..."
The guards and disciples shouted in unison.
Wan Yunting nodded, waved his hand for them to go down and rest, and then kept Tian Lang and Mei Ying. He smiled. "You two also haven't had a wedding. Do you want to have it together?"
Tian Lang and Mei Ying were stunned and exchanged glances before shaking their heads and smiling. "We'll choose another day and have it separately."
"That's fine too."
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled. "I'll hold a grand wedding for you two then..."
The next day, the guards and disciples of the Xiaoyao Pavilion began decorating for the wedding. As Wan Yunting was about to leave to pick up Xiao Bowen from the Wuliang Daoist Temple, a car arrived. The people who got out were Zhong Hongmei and a woman dressed in an elegant dress and appearing demure.
"Shuyun!"
Seeing that the woman who came with Zhong Hongmei was Li Shuyun, Wan Yunting was surprised.
"Pavilion Master."
Zhong Hongmei brought Li Shuyun over and greeted him with a smile. "Shuyun came to Huadu City to find me, so we came together to attend your wedding."
"Mm, that's thoughtful of you."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded at Zhong Hongmei, but looking at Li Shuyun, she was still that same indifferent, unruffled person, yet her gaze was fixed on Wan Yunting.
"You guys chat first, I'll head inside..."
The sensible Zhong Hongmei said and quickly left.
"I'm going to the Wuliang Daoist Temple. Do you want to come?" Wan Yunting felt a bit awkward facing Li Shuyun.
Li Shuyun had visited once when the Xiaoyao Pavilion was first built.
Their relationship had always been in a subtle state.
Recalling their first meeting, they had become intimate due to dual cultivation. Although they hadn't said anything, they both knew they liked each other.
However, it was merely a liking born from dual cultivation. Later, Li Shuyun rarely appeared, but now, upon hearing that Wan Yunting was holding a wedding with his confidantes, Li Shuyun still felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Mm..."
Li Shuyun didn't refuse. She got into Wan Yunting's car, and they left the Xiaoyao Pavilion together, heading towards the Wuliang Daoist Temple...
"How are your parents?"
Wan Yunting asked Li Shuyun as he drove, turning his head to inquire.
"They're doing well..."
Li Shuyun always gave off an indifferent, uncaring appearance.
Wan Yunting was used to it and smiled. "When your parents have time, invite them to visit the Xiaoyao Pavilion."
"Okay."
Li Shuyun nodded. The conversation stopped abruptly, and the air became a bit quiet.
Wan Yunting was about to turn on the music when Li Shuyun spoke first, "I want to stay in the Xiaoyao Pavilion for a while!"
"Hm?"
Wan Yunting glanced at her. Li Shuyun continued, "I want to go into seclusion to cultivate and break through to the late stage of Martial Dao Danjin!"
"That's great."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded. "You're originally from the Xiaoyao Sect. You can stay in the Xiaoyao Pavilion for as long as you want."
Li Shuyun didn't respond. After a pause, she turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wan Yunting, and asked, "Can you dual cultivate with me?"
"Uh..."
Wan Yunting was stunned and turned to look at her, only to find that Li Shuyun's eyes had conveyed everything.
"Let's go back to the Wuliang Daoist Temple first... uh..."
The next moment, Li Shuyun unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned over, and spontaneously kissed Wan Yunting.
"Shuyun..."
Seeing this, Wan Yunting had to pull the car over to the side of the road. He held Li Shuyun's arms, looking at her in surprise. But Li Shuyun's ardent gaze, her lips pursed, said, "I want to dual cultivate with you right now!"
Wan Yunting's face was full of bewilderment. Li Shuyun kissed him again, not giving him a chance to refuse...
