Chapter 412: Setting the Wedding Date!

Chapter 412: Setting the Wedding Date!

“This aura... it’s undoubtedly that of the senior from back then. But what happened to him? Why is he now just a soul body, staying by that Xiao clan boy’s side and protecting him so fervently?” Fa Ma pondered silently in his heart.

“Heh, Fa Ma, Jia Lao, are you two still planning to meet with Gu He?” Hai Bodong asked with a dry laugh.

Hearing Hai Bodong’s question, Fa Ma and Jia Xing Tian broke out of their thoughts.

“Let’s go meet him. It’s better to have clarity in our hearts,” Jia Xing Tian replied with a hint of resignation.

“Hmm, let’s go and see. It’ll be interesting to witness how the younger generation from back then has matured,” Fa Ma agreed, nodding without objection.

“Then let’s move!” Hai Bodong said casually. Since he had interacted with Gu He several times before, meeting him again would not be awkward.

Not long after, Liu Ling and the other three arrived at Gu He’s courtyard from the Yun Lan Sect’s grand square. However, Gu He was not there.

The four had chosen to come here first to avoid revealing the secret of the Nine-Colored Valley in the back mountains.

As soon as Liu Ling and his three companions stepped into the courtyard, the air in the center of the space suddenly twisted. Moments later, Gu He and Yun Yun appeared from the distorted space.

“Master, Mistress!”

Seeing Gu He and Yun Yun, Liu Ling, Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Qing Lin immediately bowed respectfully.

“Hmm.”

Acknowledging their greetings with smiles, Gu He and Yun Yun nodded.

“Master, Mistress, the three-year agreement between Nalan Yanran and the Xiao clan boy has concluded. That Xiao Yan has a soul body following him...” Liu Ling quickly recounted the events that had transpired in the grand square.

“I’ve long known about the soul body accompanying that Xiao clan boy,” Gu He said, his tone calm and unperturbed.

“So Master knew all along. No wonder Mistress specifically gifted me a protective inner armor this morning!” Nalan Yanran’s eyes flickered with a trace of surprise as she sighed inwardly at Gu He’s foresight.

“Master, should we return to the valley to continue training now?” Liu Ling asked curiously.

“Not just yet. We have a few guests arriving soon, and your Mistress and I also have some announcements to make at the sect’s grand hall,” Gu He replied with a slight shake of his head.

As he spoke, Yun Yun’s beautiful face beside him lit up with a radiant and blissful smile.

“Guests?”

“My third disciple, Nalan Yanran.”

“And my fourth, Qing Lin.”

After introducing the four, Gu He turned back to them and said, “What are you waiting for? Greet the three seniors.”

Following Gu He’s instructions, Liu Ling, Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Qing Lin didn’t hesitate. They bowed and said respectfully, “Greetings to the three seniors.”

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian acting so polite and well-mannered, the corners of the three seniors’ mouths twitched slightly. After all, she had been quite fearsome not long ago.

“Gu He, your second disciple once claimed to be the sect master of some faction in the Chu Yun Empire... Is that true?” After a brief moment of hesitation, Jia Xing Tian voiced his lingering question.

“I’ve heard her mention it. About a year ago, I arranged for her to train in the Chu Yun Empire. During that time, she established a small sect on her own,” Gu He replied casually.

“I see.”

From Gu He’s explanation, Jia Xing Tian understood that Xiao Yi Xian wasn’t originally from the Chu Yun Empire, which made him feel much better.

Just as Jia Xing Tian and the others were about to ask more questions, Gu He suddenly took Yun Yun’s hand and, with a smile, said, “Seniors, since you’ve already witnessed the duel between Nalan Yanran and the Xiao clan boy today, why not also bear witness to another event—my engagement with Yun’er?”

“You two...”

Hearing Gu He’s words, the three seniors froze for a moment before quickly catching on. Bursting into laughter, Jia Xing Tian said, “Haha! Gu He, you and Sect Master Yun Yun are a perfect match. If you two can become husband and wife, it would be a joyous occasion for the Jia Ma Empire. It would be an honor for us to witness the formalizing of your engagement!”
