After the Sect Master left, the newlyweds continued making toasts to everyone else according to seniority and cultivation level.
After making the rounds, Pei Ling still hadn't seen the Li Clan Old Ancestor, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
If not for the Old Ancestor's protection, he could never have become the Holy Son, let alone married Senior Sister Li.
So no matter what, he had to offer the Old Ancestor a toast.
Pei Ling sent a voice transmission: "Senior Sister, do you know where the Old Ancestor is?"
Li Lieyue replied through a voice transmission, "I don't know. Several old ancestors from other sects arrived a few days ago. Maybe some of them found the wedding feast too noisy and didn't want to attend, so the Old Ancestor is keeping them company elsewhere."
Pei Ling nodded. It seemed he could only wait until after the Dao Companion Ceremony to find a chance to thank the Old Ancestor in person.
As he pondered this, Li Lieyue continued, "We've nearly finished here. I prepared a gift for you. Shall we go take a look together?"
Pei Ling looked around. They'd already greeted all the important guests, and by now most of the people in Muyi Hall were drinking and reveling.
The people from the Eight Sects, however, had remained silent as they drank and ate. Every so often, they glanced at him with strange expressions, as if they were thinking about something.
But considering that no one had dared challenge him when he climbed the Ten Thousand Races Blood Ladder, it was understandable that the people from the Eight Sects felt resentful.
Thinking this, Pei Ling nodded. "All right."
While the guests weren't paying attention, the two formed hand seals and concealed their figures, then quietly entered the inner hall
