Chapter 231: You Are Master and Disciple (2nd update)

Cang Pei's words proved the Nine Li's vague premonition!

Shen Qingli: "……Are you sick?"

Before, she definitely would not have said this directly in such a situation.

But now she has this confidence!

Because she knows that no matter what she says, her parents will support her.

"……" Inside the banquet hall, immortals were already sucking in cool air.

Although everyone knows Shen Qingli's status is noble, this person! is not just any cat or dog.

"I,"

"All right."

Shen Kuo interrupted Cang Pei's words.

"Today is my lord and my lady's grand wedding."

"If you came to congratulate, please sit; otherwise, don't speak."

What a marriage proposal, huh! If it weren't his big day today, Shen Kuo would have kicked this person out right now.

"It was my rashness." Cang Pei took out the congratulatory gift, "First, I offer congratulations to Lord Shen Divine and Empress Zhong."

"Please sit." Shen Kuo's expression was indifferent; he didn't even accept the gift.

Still, the Grand Elder feared trouble and hurried forward to receive it.

As for the immortals in the hall, they could understand as well.

After all, even a blind person could feel that the Kunlun Divine Lord deeply cherishes his only daughter, Shen Qingli.

This Cang Pei, an old fool! He comes up and immediately proposes marriage?

"I haven't even spoken yet."

The Dragon Prince let out a weak sigh.

"Cough!"

The Turtle Chancellor gave a heavy cough! Indicating he shouldn't talk nonsense!

This Confucian-Dao Sage's combat power is fierce! Even the Dragon King can't match him.

Besides, although he's quite old, he has indeed never been married.

Moreover, he's quite handsome; actually, he's more worthy of the Divine Lord's daughter than the Dragon Palace's little prince.

"Hahaha!"

The Grand Elder was already smoothing things over.

"Um, Cang Divine Venerable, you're wrong—how could you let him wail loudly on the Divine Lord's joyous day!"

"Exactly." Tai Jin hurriedly continued, "Everyone knows the Divine Lord dotes on his daughter; you just returned to your position and aren't clear yet—it was indeed rash. She's still young, not suitable."

"Come, come, come, everyone drink a cup; let us together celebrate the Kunlun Divine Lord and the Zhu Que Empress."

"Exactly! We were just interrupted by those Western bald donkeys and haven't had a chance to offer congratulations yet!"

The atmosphere-raisers all raised their cups; Shen Qingli also raised her cup, then Zhong Minglan raised hers and whispered to Shen Kuo via voice transmission.

'Who is this guy? His face is huge! Do you know him in Sheng Long Tian too? Did he also reincarnate and end up with you?'

'Hmm.'

'Don't just hum—explain clearly.'

Zhong Minglan doesn't like Shen Kuo's habit of not liking to talk.

This is something she only does when she pretends to be dignified in front of her subordinates.

But she understands that Shen Kuo isn't putting on airs with him; it's just that he's not talkative by nature, yet he's still better than her third nephew.

'He bullied A Li. A Li used to like him, but he ruined her sincere feelings—a scumbag.'

Shen Kuo isn't unwilling to say more clearly, but he only wanted to sum up insults for Pei Jianshu; he can't swear, so after holding it in, all he could say was that. In the end, that "scumbag" he learned from the Nine Li.

Just those two sentences were enough to make Zhong Minglan's face fall!

'Then why don't you kick him out!'

'Never mind, we can beat him later; it's not too late.'

Zhong Minglan understands, this guy had just stood in the Divine Court.

And therefore, she dislikes him even more!

What is this? Absolutely a deep‑scheming plot!

After finishing the drink, she went over to Shen Qingli.

"Little beauty, rest assured—no one will try to make you marry something you don't like."

This wasn't a voice transmission; Zhong Minglan said it outright—and she also hugged Shen Qingli.

"Mm." Shen Qingli, smiling in her eyes, also said, "So I have already refused."

"Exactly!" Zhong Minglan didn't want her little beauty to feel stifled or uncomfortable again.

Beside him, Jin Wu's heart was also thumping; he didn't think Cang Pei was right either.

Mainly, it's such a wonderful day—let's not start fighting; so he quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, you and the Divine Lord's great rites are done; there's still A Li's birthday gift, hundred‑day gift, and first‑year gift."

Upon mentioning this, Shen Qingli got a headache: "Didn't we say we wouldn't do these?"

"That won't do." Zhong Minglan laughed, "As an Empress who rarely gives birth to a daughter, shouldn't all the gods and immortals congratulate her?"

"Right, right!" The Grand Elder had already laughed, "I've prepared the gifts—one‑third of the congratulatory presents—for our Divine Court's littlest A Li."

The Grand Elder, who pulled out treasures from the bottom of his chest, gave nothing but divine artifacts and supreme treasures!

Among them, there was also a piece of pure black "old thing"?

"This thing—I got it many years ago; I don't know what it is, but the evil aura is extremely strong, feels suitable for Jiu Ying."

Giving gifts, the most important thing is to give the right one! The Grand Elder feels that, although this thing is useless to him, for Shen Qingli it might be a treasure.

I think it's suitable too! Jiu Li immediately said, "A Li, bring out the little one!"

Jiu Ying emerged at the sound, not yet clear on the situation, and first saw that black thing, and its nine mouths bit onto it!

No matter whose it is! Once it's in its mouth, it can only belong to it!

This appearance…

Looks like it really is suitable, thank you, Grand Elder Uncle.

Hahaha, no need to be polite, just like it.

The Grand Elder stroked his white beard, very happy.

This is mine, the Earth Kun Cauldron.

The Lord of Thick Soil sent out a divine cauldron.

Time is rushed, I could only prepare one gift; I'll make up for it later.

The Earth Kun Divine Cauldron forged with the power of the earth was poured with the Lord of Thick Soil's heart and blood.

It can be said that unless the earth collapses, this Earth Kun Cauldron cannot possibly crack again.

Shen Qingli could feel that it was filled with the Lord of Thick Soil's divine source, and she immediately rose and held it.

My lady, this gift—

Hey! Don't say those polite words; you saved my life, no gift is as precious as my life.

The Lord of Thick Soil is warm yet "forceful"; this divine cauldron was specially forged for Shen Qingli, and it can only belong to her.

Shen Qingli also had no choice but to accept, "Then junior will obey rather than merely show respect."

"Now that's obedient." The Lord of Thick Soil was satisfied.

Your gifts make me feel embarrassed.

The gifts sent out in succession by Tai Jin and other immortals are indeed not as "suitable" as the Grand Elder's, nor as precious as the Lord of Thick Soil's, but they are indeed treasures rarely found in the Divine Court.

Jiu Li's eyes were dazzled, feeling as if she had struck it rich!

This is my gift.

Cang Pei's voice sounded, and Jiu Li's paw paused while examining the gift.

This guy, could he be up to something again?

Do it again! Then it won't be polite.

And as Cang Pei stood up, he actually presented the scroll he had just been holding in his hand before Shen Qingli.

Master Hua Yuan's old eyes twitched, "Cang Ancestor's hand scroll?"

Containing the great Dao of heaven and earth, the most primordial divine scripture scroll, Cang Pei's life-bound Dao instrument! And he just gave it away like that?

Frankly speaking, without this scroll, Cang Pei's combat power drops by thirty percent! It's almost like giving away his life.

"Daoist Cang, the gift is too heavy, take it back." Shen Kuo had already flicked his sleeve, sweeping the scroll back to Cang Pei's side.

Cang Pei looked at the scroll before him, let out a soft sigh, "A Li,"

"Stop!" Shen Qingli's scalp went numb; that utterance of "A Li" felt very much like "Pei Jianshu"!

What is this? After returning to one's position, shouldn't a god's memories and experiences overwhelm that brief tribulation life?

"Senior, let the matters of Sheng Long Tian fade with the wind; please conduct yourself with restraint." Shen Qingli spoke frankly.

A single "conduct yourself with restraint!" made the banquet hall fall silent again; all the immortals stared at each other, sensing there was a story here.

"Well, Lord Cang, you might not know that our A Li, the Young Emperor, has a fiancé, indeed engaged since childhood." Jin Wu smoothed things over.

"Ah, right, right, right!" Tai Jin immediately responded, "It's the Young Monarch! They were innocent childhood sweethearts, indeed childhood friends. Lord Cang, immortals' tribulations are but a speck in the vast sea; just forget it."

If one could forget,

Cang Pei also wants to forget.

But he simply cannot forget.

Moreover…

"That is not the Young Monarch, it is Taiyi, also the Dao Sovereign."

"They are not suitable; they are master and disciple."
