Chapter 447: Two Weddings and Hui's Funeral

At last, Gui Yutong and Hui sat alone in the wedding bed, Gui Delun nowhere in sight. Hui pressed out his mental energy just to be sure, but as far as he could tell, Gui Delun had left entirely. He let out a sigh and collapsed backward onto the bed, exhausted. The weight of the thick qi pressed down on him, pinning him to the bed. He rubbed his face and circulated his qi, fighting back against the weight of the qi. If I could spend a month here, Id advance by leaps and bounds, but just coming here for a short visit its exhausting.

Gui Yutong leaned over him. She reached for his collar. Since were married, should we

Hui shoved her away. Elder Sister, dont cause more trouble for me! Gui Delun already wants my head okay, well, hes got several of them, but the point isI dont want Bai Jingwen to also be after my head!

She shook her head. We should at least enough to get your aura on me

So do whatever you did to Sec to me earlier today when you stole my aura. Surely you can do that a second time, Hui said. He turned his head to look at Gui Yutong. How did you know it was er, that is, we were all blackout drunk. Im surprised Elder Sister could recognize my face.

Gui Yutong nodded. I didnt. I sensed your aura and went along with it.

That explains it. So did we actually? Hui asked.

She shook her head. Sorry. I just stole some of your qi while you were distracted.

Okay, good. Not that I dont trust Sectgoer, but of all of us, hes the weirdest. If anyone was going to hide things, its him. Hui sighed. And the child, its Bai Jingwens?

Gui Yutong blushed. She nodded.

I wont ask how that happened, but I will ask are you happy? Do you want this? Hui asked. Its something that needs to be asked.

She nodded. I never thought that Id fall in love with someone like Bai Jingwen, but Im very happy as I am. I know Father would never accept my love. Even if Bai Jingwen can give me children, that wont be enough. He despises the Bai Clan. If that clan wasnt supported by Zheng Minyan, he would have destroyed it long ago.

Zheng Minyan? Hui asked.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Gui Yutong put a finger on her chin. Shes another Inner Peak Lord. Shes older than Father, and shes one of the few Inner Peak Lords who was around during the Patriarchs era. She leaned in toward Hui. Just between you and me, shes the most powerful Inner Peak Lord after Father. Maybe even more powerful than Father.

In martial strength or? Hui asked.

In strength in strength, shes a seventh-realm cultivator, equivalent to Father. If they both fought Im not sure who would win. So yes but I really meant in influence. She leads the traditional faction within the sect. They follow the ancient traditions of the sect set forth by our Patriarch and focus on healing and sword arts versus exorcism. The traditional faction used to be the stronger faction, but lately, their power is waning, and Fathers modern faction is taking control. She bit her lip. Especially since Zheng Minyan is on the verge of entering secluded meditation.

On the verge of entering secluded meditation old enough to be around since the Patriarch thats the kind of secluded meditation one doesnt exit until they die, Hui realized. So shes a seventh-realm powerhouse whos been around for centuries, if not millennia, but her lifespan is running out, and shes facing some kind of bottleneck or roadblock to entering eighth realm that she isnt able to overcome. Shell have to enter secluded meditation in hopes of extending her life force long enough to figure out a way around that bottleneck. And if she doesnt well, passing away in secluded meditation is a common enough scenario.

Hmm I hope the Patriarch is higher than seventh realm, or else this small cultivator might be investigating a dead man

No, no. Senior Chen Wuya is still alive and kicking, and he was childhood friends and rivals with Fen Long. Surely Fen Long is still just as vivacious as Chen Wuya!

Healer pressed a hand to his temples. Peak Lord, calm down. Were just teasing you a little bit. Now can everyone please shut up again? Im in the wedding bed with Gui Yutong and were

Holy shit, Healer! Damn! Talk about burying the lede! Rogue shouted.

Talk about burying his lede, Sectgoer returned, shooting a knowing glance at Rogue.

Heyooooo, Rogue said. The two high-fived mentally.

Gods. Im shutting down the network, Healer grumbled.

So whatre you doing with Gui Yutong? Rogue asked.

Talking. About sect things, Hui said. He blinked, intentionally sending what he saw over the node.

Aww, shes even got her clothes on? Cmon, Rogue said.

If you want to fight Gui Delun and Bai Jingwen at the same time, you come here and do it, Healer replied.

Rogue paused thoughtfully. After a moment, he sighed. Yeah, no. We still need Bai Jingwen to not hate us.

Also, let me tell you something about this peak theres so much qi here that its repressive, and thats how Gui Delun and his disciples train all the time. If we want to be a serious threat we should train on an Inner Peak, if we can. Or train all our adds and friends who can still grow stronger and gain realms, Healer said.

We can still grow stronger, Rogue said.

But were definitely facing a bottleneck. I dont think we can hit sixth realm until we recombine, Healer argued.

I agree, Sectgoer said.

Hmm well, thats probably the case, Rogue agreed. But Ying Lin, Bai Xue, and the others can definitely still grow stronger.

Speaking of, Peak Lord hows it going? You know, demanding the Bai Clan Matriarch for Bai Xues hand in marriage with no gifts or propriety, Sectgoer asked.

An image passed over the network. Hui laid there, dead on the floor of the Bai Clan, frozen into an icy statue. Bai Xue stood over him, her arms spread.

About as well as expected, then, Rogue said, laughing.

Healer sighed. Try not to actually die, okay? If you come back married, let us know.

Peak Lord gave him a mental thumbs up.
