My Daoist Nun Friend

Qin Yi found it amusing; he was incredibly annoyed. Who knew that holding a wedding banquet in the Great Wilderness would attract Minghe here? Who the hell invited Minghe over? This was practically a death sentence!

I'll beat him to death sooner or later!

Looking at Minghe's slightly flushed face, a song involuntarily floated into his mind:

"Later, at a wedding banquet, we met again, with a beautiful woman by my side, the candlelight flickering red. The tender lamplight illuminated her picturesque face, like a gentle old dream on a budding flower branch. I didn't recognize her, and suddenly my thoughts surged..."

"Husband, who is this?" Yu Shang's voice drifted into my ears at that moment.

Qin Yi subconsciously replied, "A Daoist Nun friend of mine."

Upon hearing this, he was momentarily stunned, as was Minghe.

The two stared at each other silently. Qin Yi felt he was a scumbag, but Minghe thought that was... right.

When we met in the netherworld, I already said... we are fellow Daoists.

It is my good fortune to have formed a connection with you, fellow Daoist... and also Minghe's good fortune.

Although I once said that we would discuss this matter after Huiyang, now that we have reached Huiyang, it is time to discuss it... But before that, we are truly just fellow Daoists.

But why is it that even though we are just fellow Daoists, and I felt completely unmoved before meeting him, I still felt awkward when I saw him get married and hold a banquet?

I feel very uncomfortable.

That person said he liked me, and I think I should like him too.

Master's move was truly ruthless.

Let me see him with my own eyes as the candlelight flickers red... It's like the legendary Dream Weaving Technique, allowing people to see in their dreams the endless separations and deaths, the unchanging vows of eternal love, sometimes so sweet that they can't get enough, sometimes so piercing that they're bleeding, and finally, when they're pulled out, they realize it was all a dream.

Having seen all the worldly affairs, one can now depart.

This is the most orthodox Immortal Dao immortality, and also the most cruel.

Minghe seemed to see her master's eyes, as deep as the sea.

High above the clouds, Xi Yue stood with her hands behind her back, gazing into the distance with a serene expression, like the moon hanging above the Milky Way.

Her gaze shifted from Minghe to a corner of the Ghost Carriage Race, her eyes holding a profound meaning.

Having obtained the feathers of the graceful swan, one will surely witness the arrival of the phoenix.

Can you truly enjoy drinking wine accompanied by white clouds?

Minghe and Qin Yi exchanged a brief glance in the hall, a fleeting moment in the eyes of Yu Shang, who was observing from the sidelines. Finally, Minghe pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "This humble Daoist, Minghe of the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, greets Saintess Yu Shang."

Yu Shang looked wary. "Our clan has no tradition of performing Daoist blessing ceremonies. Since the Daoist priest is here, let's have a drink and skip the ceremony."

Minghe smiled and calmly replied, "That's excellent."

Master, you're so cruel. Do you know that your disciple can be rebellious? Even if I have no intention of doing anything more, am I really just supposed to quietly watch them and detach myself from them? Don't I have a little temper? Can't I cause them some trouble?

We're all in the far wilderness, who knows who!

Minghe glanced at Qin Yi and smiled slightly, "I once made an agreement with Fellow Daoist Qin that we would discuss some matters after Huiyang. Now that we have met again in Huiyang, it seems there is no need for further discussion; a cup of celebratory wine is the answer."

Qin Yi looked at her silently without saying a word.

The whispers among the onlookers grew louder.

This statement seems to say nothing at all, only highlighting the "old" aspect. But saying it at this juncture seems to carry a deeper meaning, indicating that it's not just ordinary "old," but almost confirms everyone's previous guesses.

Yu Shang couldn't help but blurt out, "You're a monk."

Minghe smiled as before, "Although my old friend still has some merits, he cannot compete with the Dao. Marrying the Saintess is quite fitting, a match made in heaven."

The words sound like a blessing, but a closer look reveals the underlying meaning. "He's someone I don't want; you can take him if you want."

Yu Shang's chest heaved with anger, and Xi Yue in the sky blinked, seemingly somewhat surprised.

These words almost reached the point of disrupting the wedding... Is this really Minghe's personality? Who would have thought that there was also a hint of rebelliousness towards her master at play here...

Meng Qingying's eyes sparkled, and she almost wanted to shout "Minghe Well done, Elder Sister! I'm cheering for you!"

Qin Yi, at the center of the vortex, silently watched Minghe from beginning to end, without saying a word, feeling both headache and heartache.

This fake smile Minghe's attempt to portray composure...

She thought she was being stabbed, but in reality, she was being brought down from a distant galaxy to the mortal realm.

Should we be proud?

There's nothing to be proud of...

Minghe seemed to sense his gaze and felt that Qin Yi's gaze was different from what she had imagined. It was not anger or embarrassment, but heartache that made her feel a little flutter.

She frowned slightly, avoiding his gaze, and gave a Daoist bow. "Since I have met an old friend, I have said a few more words. Please forgive me for disturbing the celebration..."

After saying that, he turned to take his seat.

Qin Yi finally spoke his first words, "When we first met, you taught me to see through appearances, and I return the favor now. The agreement with Huiyang is still in effect, and we will drink and chat again later."

The original wording was "again".

This is the second time Qin Yi has used these words to reply to Minghe. The last time it was about the separation of men and women, and this time it is even more meaningful, implying that there is more to this wedding than meets the eye.

Although Minghe was young and inexperienced, she was also very intelligent and quickly understood Qin Yi's implication. She paused for a moment, then turned around and found a seat without saying anything more.

Meng Qingying puffed out her cheeks.

Qin Yi spoke in a very low voice, and even Law Power to control it, as if he didn't want others to hear. With her strength, she could only vaguely hear a little bit of "drinking and chatting happily"... She thought to herself, "Minghe, you piece of trash, you were so easily dealt with by him?"

Talking about pleasure? Why not just be direct about your advances?

Forget it, relying on this Stinky Daoist Nun knows nothing but cultivation is really unreliable. Watch me instead!

All the Yu people present, including Yu Shang, glanced at Qin Yi with slightly unfriendly expressions. Actually, it wasn't a big deal. Yu Shang had heard him frankly admit he had a wife at home, and if she accepted a wife, why would she accept a Daoist Nun she hadn't yet won over?

But don't cause trouble at the wedding! Don't I, the Saintess of the Feathered People, have any dignity?

She took a deep breath, barely suppressing her anger, and said to Yu Lan behind her, "The guests are all here. What's the next step?"

Yu Lan said timidly, "Report the gift list."

Yu Shang nodded. "Report."

Yu Lan laboriously carried a large stack of forms and read them out one by one, "Double Eyed Bird, one Rosy Cloud Cape a type of brocade robe)."

This is a direct gift, using the Rosy Cloud Cape that was originally intended as a betrothal gift.

"The lovebirds, a knot of hearts woven by the tribal god."

"The Uwabami Bird, and a single Wangtian tree."

Yu Shang paused for a moment. The Sky-Gazing Tree was a type of nest, a kind of mobile fortress in a sense, capable of transforming into a tree spirit to fight—very powerful. Giving this as a gift was for...

Before she could figure it out, Yu Lan continued, "The Ghost Carriage Race... uh... what's that...?"

Yu Shang frowned. "What?"

Yu Lan said timidly, "The Ghost Carriage Race sends... the blessings of the Li Clan in the East Sea Penglai, the smiles of the Cheng Clan of the White Kingdom in the Rift Valley, the kind eyes of the Zong Ju Clan of the Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect, and... the expectations of the Rogue Person Little Meng..."

With each word he spoke, Qin Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and all eyes turned to Qin Yi once again, astonished by his Celestial Person.

Qin Yi was drenched in sweat and subconsciously took a half step back to assume a defensive stance.

He feared that the Winged Human Race would kill him at any moment.

The Ghost Carriage Race —my premonition was right! It would be strange if Qing Ying wasn't among them! Speaking of which, it's really odd that Minghe is always found where Qing Ying is. Are they twins?

Minghe's eyes lit up as he turned to look for the Ghost Carriage Race's location, and soon his eyes met another pair of bright, sparkling eyes.

A group of arch-enemies stared at each other from afar, their eyes revealing a mutual appreciation they had never seen before.

P. S.: The 20+ chapters that were taken out yesterday have been released. A note here: If readers who were "raising their books" and then "reading" encountered these chapter skips and were forced to go to pirated versions, I hope you can come back. If you don't come back, it plays right into the hands of the whistleblowers, whose goal is to make the book disjointed and drive readers away. If this continues, my sales will collapse. I hope everyone can work together and not give in to their wishes. In fact, the chapters themselves are fine and can all be released, so please don't worry.
