Engagement Ceremony

"Can't you be a little less perceptive, kid?"

"My other self is a bit more extreme; I'm taking a dead-end path."

"He has already merged with Huo Yuhao. If Huo Yuhao does not disappoint him, he will fully assist Huo Yuhao and come to merge with me after I succeed."

"If Huo Yuhao proves incompetent, then he will replace him. At that time, I will also go to his side and offer my assistance."

Electrolux didn't hide anything.

When Ning Que asked this question, it was clear that he had already guessed that he had a secret conversation with another version of himself.

"Little Huo, you should try harder to be more successful!"

Ning Que silently felt sorry for Huo Yuhao for three seconds, while at the same time becoming more wary of himself.

Ultimately, this is the real world, and we can't completely follow the characters' settings from the original work.

Even Electrolux cannot be completely trusted.

All he needs to do is work hard to improve his strength.

Only in this way can we have the confidence to face any situation.

They chatted idly with Elder Yi as they climbed the mountain, and soon arrived at the location of the sect.

"My dear son, come here!"

As soon as Ning Que arrived at the mountain gate, he heard an angry rebuke.

He instinctively shrank his neck.

Indeed, within the sect, no one can afford to offend this person.

Mom, Yun Shuwan.

"Mom, what did I do to upset you?"

Ning Que immediately changed his demeanor, adopting a sycophantic attitude, and hurriedly ran to the woman dressed in palace attire in front of him.

"You've really made something of yourself, getting engaged is such a big deal, and you didn't even discuss it with your old mother."

"What, you think you're all grown up now?"

Yun Shuwan grabbed Ning Que's ear.

Ning Que could only comply and shower him with compliments.

"You really haven't considered marrying a few more?"

"While I can't accept your father having multiple wives, I can accept my own son having three wives and four concubines!"

"As long as you say the word, Mom will pick a wife for you."

Holding her son in her arms, Yun Shuwan then spoke to Ning Que with a mysterious air.

"Mom, please stop testing me on behalf of Guyi."

"To be shameless, if your son wanted to have three wives and four concubines, I could have easily persuaded Guyi to give him her full support from a young age."

"I really don't have much time or energy for that; having Guyi is enough."

Ning Que looked at his mother with a helpless expression.

Their relationship with their mother-in-law was so good they were practically inseparable.

Why would my mom help me?

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Yun Shuwan affectionately ruffled Ning Que's hair.

His eyes were full of gentleness.

Within the sect, only her son and husband knew that she was also a descendant of the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago.

If we trace her ancestry back further, her ancestor should have been named Xie Yue.

Ten thousand years have passed. Although the major powers no longer ostracize them as much, they still live a life of hiding.

Everything these descendants of the Spirit Hall have achieved today is thanks to this father and son.

"No, this favor is too great; I can never repay it."

"We need to give him another son."

Considering her own identity, Yun Shuwan decided to have her husband try harder tonight.

"Mom, I still have something to discuss with Elder Shi. We can chat again tomorrow."

Ning Que quickly made an excuse to slip away.

He really thought about what his mother would do next.

I was tortured terribly when I was a child.

Indeed, his mother loves him very much.

But her thought process is completely different from that of a normal person.

Perhaps her father spoiled her, because she thought that having children was just for fun.

Therefore, Ning Que was tormented a lot when he was a child.

You have to understand, even though he was young at the time, he had the mindset of an adult.

Even when she was about to awaken her Martial Soul, her mother forced her to wear a little skirt and even recorded it with Image Recording Orb.

Every time his mother returned to the sect, she would take him to see it, ostensibly to let him relive his childhood.

"You little rascal, you've really grown up!"

Seeing Ning Que already on his way, Yun Shuwan smiled.

Over the next few days, Ning Que spent time with Elder Shi discussing the research on Soul Tool.

He wasn't exposed by his sister until the day of their engagement.

"Dude, how come you're not nervous at all?!"

"Today is your engagement day, couldn't you have prepared a little earlier?"

"Sister Guyi started choosing her outfits at dawn."

Ning Tian was dressed in a white and gold evening gown, trying her best to look dignified and elegant, but after seeing her older brother, she couldn't hold back anymore and stomped her feet in frustration.

"I've thought it through. You and Jin Sheng should take this opportunity to get engaged!"

Looking at his sister's outfit, Ning Que was quite satisfied with Jin Sheng, but he was inexplicably annoyed.

My own sister is still a child.

Even an engagement felt inappropriate to him.

"Dad didn't agree. He said today is your day, and you shouldn't let me and Jin Sheng steal your thunder."

"He promised that after Jin Sheng and I graduate from the Shrek Academy, he would also give us a grand engagement ceremony."

"This outfit was a gift from Sister Guyi. Do you like it?"

Ning Tian even twirled around proudly as he spoke.

"Nice clothes."

Perhaps it was the atmosphere that affected his mood, Ning Que even felt like making a joke.

At first, Ning Tian didn't react immediately, but he quickly realized what Ning Que meant by saying "the clothes are nice," and instinctively lunged forward, looking like he was ready to fight Ning Que to the death.

But after thinking about it, she decided not to wrinkle her clothes and let Ning Que go.

Then, under the guidance of the sect disciples, Ning Que began to dress up.

Although he didn't particularly like such cumbersome things, today he represented the young sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, and he still had to maintain the proper decorum.

To be honest, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect really has impeccable taste when it comes to aesthetics.

There were no overly extravagant outfits, nor were they adorned with excessive jewelry.

It was just a silver robe and a platinum belt... At first glance, it seemed very ordinary, but it gave people a comfortable feeling.

But once you really get to know them, you'll find that what looks like an ordinary outfit is actually anything but ordinary.

The silk thread used to weave the robe was produced by the Ten Thousand Year Ice Silkworm, which not only has the effect of refreshing the mind and keeping one alert at all times, but also has the property of concealing one's presence.

If you were simply wearing this robe and standing in a crowd, you would be subconsciously ignored unless someone was paying attention.

The platinum belt, however, possesses the ability to absorb spiritual energy and attract attention. The combination of these two elements creates a strangely perfect synergy...

After getting dressed and ready, Ning Que began the engagement process.

Even though she was extremely familiar with Guyi, she was still surprised to see what Gu Yi was wearing today.

I'm so glad I made the right choice back then.
