Chapter 186: Almost Performed the Wedding Ceremony

"You should all get to know each other," He Luyun said, then turned and returned to her room.

"Respectfully sending off Master," the five of them immediately bowed and called out.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun followed suit, though he didn't manage to get the words out in time.

These so-called righteous sects really have too many tedious formalities; it's enough to make one annoyed.

Only after He Luyun had completely left their sight did they stand up one after another.

"Junior Brother should be staying in an Earth-Rank Room now, right?"

Cang Xingyan looked at Jiang Xun and asked.

"No, Master told me to stay here with her."

Jiang Xun shook his head and said.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the group was once again stunned in unison.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Xun looked confused.

"According to the rules, only the servants, relatives, or Dao companions of the owner of a Heavenly Room are allowed to stay there. You, this..." Ling Shangtian started to speak but stopped himself.

"Even my Imperial Sister won't let me stay there!" He Muyun said from the side, looking envious.

"You, you... you became Master's Personal Disciple the moment you arrived on the island, and you're even living in Master's residence. You... Mistress, please accept a bow from Ninglin!"

As Gufang Ninglin said this, she prostrated herself directly before Jiang Xun.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't do that, Senior Sister!"

Jiang Xun also hurriedly slapped his hands down and prostrated: "You can't just say things like that! As members of the imperial family, we shouldn't kneel so easily!"

"No, no, no, Mistress, this is Ninglin showing you respect. Mistress, why did you kneel to me? Let Ninglin kowtow to you!"

Gufang Ninglin said this and immediately kowtowed, and Jiang Xun followed suit instantly; the two of them kowtowed to each other almost at the same time.

"Don't let Master hear you say that, Senior Sister. Let's stop messing around, get up quickly," Jiang Xun said hurriedly. If you kowtow two more times, you'll be the death of me...

"Mistress, don't kowtow to me, you're going to ruin me!" Gufang Ninglin said, kowtowing again, and Jiang Xun hurriedly followed.

The people around them watched the two kneeling on the ground, speechless, and fell into a momentary silence; even Tang Zhirou's face couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"No, no, you have to let me have one more than you!"

Gufang Ninglin said this and was about to kowtow again, and Jiang Xun hurriedly followed suit when he saw it.

Just as the two were about to kowtow, a pair of large hands blocked their foreheads: "If you two keep kowtowing, you'll be performing the wedding ceremony. Ninglin, stop teasing Junior Brother."

Cang Xingyan looked at the two and said helplessly.

"Junior Brother is so much fun. You guys have never played like this with me before, hahaha." Gufang Ninglin grabbed Cang Xingyan's hand and was pulled up by him.

Afterward, Cang Xingyan pulled Jiang Xun up from the ground as well.

"Senior Sister really loves to joke, hahaha..." Jiang Xun also gave a bitter smile. This girl, she isn't very old, and she looks soft, weak, and delicate, so why is she full of bad intentions...

"But we weren't joking about only Dao companions and relatives or servants being allowed to stay there," Gufang Ninglin said, looking at Jiang Xun with a serious face.

"This, I don't know either. Anyway, I'll just do whatever Master arranges. I think Master must have her own plans," Jiang Xun said, looking at Gufang Ninglin.

In fact, the people who set this rule were the Nine Great Dao Lords, and the one leading them was He Luyun. She doesn't care what others say; she stays there, so what? If you're not satisfied, come fight me.

Tang Zhirou didn't say anything and turned to leave.

Jiang Xun looked at Tang Zhirou's back, wanting to speak but holding back.

"She only came to meet you and recognize your face; she has to go back now that she's seen you. I also have to go practice. Junior Brother, why don't you walk around with your Senior Brothers and Junior Sister Ninglin?"

Ling Shangtian said when he saw this.

"Safe travels, Senior Brother." Jiang Xun nodded and cupped his hands.

"Mm." Ling Shangtian returned the salute, then hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up with Tang Zhirou.

Jiang Xun had actually thought about meeting people from the Tang Ming Dynasty here, but he hadn't expected to meet them so soon, and for it to be his own Senior Sister.

And she is even a descendant of Tang Qingming.

Actually, Jiang Xun still had some things he wanted to ask her.

But now probably isn't the time.

Looking at Ling Shangtian, he seems quite clingy to Tang Zhirou.

Moreover, among this group just now, Tang Zhirou and Gufang Ninglin were both indicated to be Children of Luck, S-rank Children of Luck.

Gufang Ninglin is an A-Rank Daughter of Luck, slightly inferior.

"I was looking at Senior Sister, isn't she a bit..."

Jiang Xun then looked at the others, leaving his sentence unfinished, wearing an expression of someone ready to gossip.

"Senior Sister is just like that. She doesn't like others being around her. It's only Junior Brother Ling who can say a few words to her, and my Imperial Sister who can exchange a few sentences with her," He Muyun said, looking at Jiang Xun.

"Say a few words? Exchange sentences?... So when Senior Brother Ling talks to her, she ignores him too?" Jiang Xun caught this key point upon hearing this.

"That's right," He Muyun nodded.

"Then doesn't that mean there's no affection between them at all?"

"Well, between dynasties, you know how it is. And the relationship between the Tang Ming Dynasty and the Lingyun Dynasty, surely you know about that, Junior Brother?" He Muyun laughed.

"I do know," Jiang Xun nodded.

"As a vassal of the Lingyun Dynasty, the Tang Ming Dynasty's Princess has a higher cultivation realm than their Fourth Prince. Naturally, the Lingyun Dynasty has to be on guard. They simply decided to marry this most talented princess into the Lingyun Dynasty while the Tang Ming Dynasty still lacks the ability to turn things around."

"Hey! You can't go around talking about what Senior Brother said! It's better to talk less about affairs between dynasties while on Tianwai Island."

After He Muyun finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Xun with a serious face.

"That goes without saying." Jiang Xun nodded. So that's how it is; it's to keep a firm grip on the Tang Ming Dynasty.

Tang Zhirou must have a lot of resentment in her heart, but there's nothing she can do.

"Alright, alright, you two grown men should just go; I'm taking Junior Brother out for a stroll." Gufang Ninglin then pushed He Muyun and Cang Xingyan aside, grabbed Jiang Xun's arm, and jumped down toward the floor below.

Cang Xingyan was also at a loss for words; he had originally intended to send He Muyun and Gufang Ninglin away so he could take Jiang Xun to find Cang Xingling.

"This Junior Sister, really." He Muyun shook his head helplessly: "I just hope he can withstand Junior Sister's antics."

"Haha." Cang Xingyan also gave a helpless laugh.

At the same time.

"Eh? Where did you bring me?"

Jiang Xun, who had been suddenly grabbed by Gufang Ninglin and jumped down, looked at the first floor of Tian Wai Lou with a bewildered expression.

"Oh my, you just arrived at Tianwai Island, so Senior Sister is taking you out for a look. You saw the market when you arrived, right? Senior Sister will take you to see other fun places."

Gufang Ninglin said as she held onto Jiang Xun's arm and walked outside.

As expected, women from the Western Regions are quite open.

"Where are we going, Senior Sister?" Jiang Xun asked, looking at Gufang Ninglin's head, which was level with his shoulder and nose.

"Taking you to soak in a hot spring. Let me tell you, not just anyone knows about this hot spring. Usually, only the Dao Master and the Island Master have them in their rooms. You're in for a treat following Senior Sister," Gufang Ninglin said with a grin.

"Soak in a hot spring?" Jiang Xun's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Soaking in a hot spring with her? Wouldn't that be... hehehe...
