Chapter 279: Rumors of a Wedding Spread

"Getting married? Did you get my permission?"

"Let go of me. I do not know you at all. Why would I need your permission? Let go of me..."

After casting an immobilization spell on Yao Guang, Dan Zhu took her away from there.

Bai He could hardly believe it that Dan Zhu can act so willfully.

"As expected, he could not bear to let her go."

"Of course he could not bear it. Otherwise, he would not have been lost in thought from the very beginning, and he would not have followed her. Master, I think this kind of dream will definitely leave a deep impression on the Second Elder, something he will never forget."

Bai He turned to look at Ye Shiyuan who was looking at him.

"Master, what is it?"

"I realize that you..."

Bai He suddenly felt that Ye Shiyuan was not as ignorant as he had thought.

He seemed to understand more than Bai He himself.

"Master, is this not exactly according to your wishes? Did I not handle it well?"

It was not that he had not handled it well.

He had handled it far too well.

Bai He even wanted to ask him how he had thought of such a chaotic scene.

Bai He himself had not even thought of it.

Dan Zhu woke up from the dream in a cold sweat.

He had never felt a dream so clear before.

He walked to the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

He then slowly closed his eyes.

Bai He and Ye Shiyuan also quickly returned to Baize Peak.

Tomorrow, they would need to spread the news of Yao Guang’s impending marriage, and do so without anyone noticing, so that Dan Zhu would believe he had only accidentally heard it.

Only then would it feel more real.

"Master, have an early rest."

After sending Bai He to the door of his room, Ye Shiyuan spoke.

Bai He nodded.

"Mm, see you tomorrow."

Since returning, Ye Shiyuan had not asked about Princess Guantao, nor had he asked about his father.

Bai He was also not sure whether Xu Feng had told Ye Shiyuan anything.

Since he had not asked, Bai He did not say more either.

Ye Shiyuan was not as fragile as he had imagined.

Early morning, Yaoxing Peak.

Bai He rushed over in a hurry and this time he was not the last one to arrive.

The Third Elder, Zhou Yifei, had not yet arrived.

About the time it takes to burn an incense stick later, Zhou Yifei finally arrived and she was dressed slightly differently than usual.

"Third Junior Sister, where are you going?"

"Senior Brother, I am going to a trip to the Nianbadu Ancient Town. Yao..." She glanced at Dan Zhu and changed her words, "An old acquaintance is getting married there. I need to go personally to offer congratulations."

The identity of the old acquaintance in Nianbadu Ancient Town was already self evident.

Moreover, Zhou Yifei had clearly said the word "Yao" earlier but quickly changed it because of Dan Zhu.

With such a small detail, how could Dan Zhu possibly fail to notice it?

"After today’s Elder Council meeting, I will be leaving. Senior Brother, you must not assign me any tasks. I really won’t have time to handle them."

"Mm, alright."

Bai He was still hesitating over how to let Dan Zhu know about it, but at this moment Zhou Yifei had already helped resolve the issue for him.

After the Elder Council meeting ended.

Bai He watched as Dan Zhu followed Zhou Yifei out.

Zhou Yifei had already anticipated that Dan Zhu would come looking for her.

During the meeting earlier, he had been absent minded the entire time.

"Second Senior Brother, even if you regret it now, it’s already too late."

"Is it really her? She is still just as impulsive as ever."

Zhou Yifei could not help but smile slightly.

"Marriage is not something that can simply be called impulsive. There are plenty of outstanding men who admire her. It is not as if you are the only one."

"I? I have already long since stopped having any feelings for her."

"If that is the case, Senior Brother, then what are you doing right now? I am going to congratulate her on her marriage. Do not follow me. I am afraid that if you do, you will make the entire wedding unable to proceed."

Zhou Yifei’s tone was rather cold.

Not far away, Bai He was watching this unfold.

After seeing it, he waved at Zhou Yifei.

"Junior Brother, come over."

Bai He quickly ran over.

"Third Senior Sister, I saw you talking with Second Senior Brother just now, so I did not want to interrupt."

"Do you want to come with us? When she sent over the invitation, she specifically mentioned that if you are willing, you can go together."

"Alright."

Bai He had originally planned to go anyway, so he simply went along with it.

He glanced sideways at Dan Zhu whose expression was already very dark and then followed Zhou Yifei as they left.

Bai He recounted everything he had done the previous night to Zhou Yifei.

Zhou Yifei could not help but laugh.

"So that is how it is."

Bai He nodded.

"Mm. Second Senior Brother is just stubborn. Clearly he does not think that way, yet he always acts in contradiction to his true feelings."

"But the matter of Yao Guang getting married is real."

Bai He nodded again.

"Mm. Perhaps only something real will make Second Senior Brother believe it."

If it were fake, Dan Zhu would not believe it.

He was not someone so easily deceived.

Since they had already spoken with Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng in the morning, at this moment they were already waiting at the entrance of Lingguang Sect.

This time, Zhou Yifei brought her disciple Gongsun Zan and Bai He brought Xu Feng and Ye Shiyuan.

Together, they headed toward Nianbadu Ancient Town.

As for the others, whether they followed along or not was not something they could decide.
