In an instant, the Sect Master of the two Sect on the home field and the soon-to-be-married couple all left.
The atmosphere inside wasn't awkward at all; everyone gathered in small groups to discuss the gossip they had just heard.
Li Zi anxiously tugged at the hem of Immortal Ziyang's robe, "Godmother, why did Qu Feng cancel the engagement? Does this mean the marriage can't proceed?"
If Qu Feng were to back out of the engagement at this critical juncture, wouldn't that be tantamount to pushing Yun Dong'er into Qu Cang's arms?
Doesn't this indirectly hasten Yun Dong'er's death?
Immortal Ziyang patted her head, "Don't worry, those two Sect will handle it."
Now that the Wind God Sect and the Nine Nether Gate know about Qu Cang's situation, they naturally won't let Qu Cang succeed.
Li Zi stared uneasily in the direction the group had left.
The system continued chatting about gossip to distract her.
[Host, Yun Dong'er is already talking to Qu Feng. They're childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship. However, Yun Dong'er isn't psychologically prepared for the transition to being someone else's wife, which is why she's having thoughts of running away from the wedding. It's really just pre-wedding anxiety.]
Some of the female Cultivator present deeply understood this point.
They had both experienced premarital anxiety.
However, Qu Feng and Yun Dong'er are a renowned golden couple in the Cultivation of the True Path world.
The two had been friends since childhood, and when exploring Secret Realm, they would bring along disciples from their respective Sect to search for fortuitous opportunity.
No one expected that Yun Dong'er would have the absurd idea of running away from her arranged marriage with Qu Cang.
Li Zi breathed a slight sigh of relief. [That's good. Let's have a good talk. As long as you don't run away from the wedding with Qu Cang, everything will be fine. But I remember Qu Cang wasn't this ruthless in the original story.]
The system said, "[This matter is related to Ran Zirou. As I mentioned before, Ran Zirou and Qu Cang had already confessed their feelings for each other at this time. The situation in the Fangxun Mountain Secret Realm and the method for obtaining the inheritance were also told to Qu Cang by Ran Zirou. Qu Cang wanted to improve his Cultivation, so he seduced Yun Dong'er and used her flesh and blood as a sacrifice. This was Qu Cang's own idea.]"
Li Zi immediately, [it turns out that love makes people completely lose their reason.]
She could picture Ran Zirou sobbing in Qu Cang's arms, telling him how the Spirit Sword Sect had bullied her and how her godmother had humiliated her.
This delicate and coquettish posture aroused a strong protective instinct in Qu Cang towards Ran Zirou.
This protective instinct twisted Qu Cang's psyche, making him desperately want power, even to the point of sacrificing a living person as a sacrifice.
The Spirit Sword Sect Master had a dark look in his eyes, and the act of drinking concealed the murderous intent in them.
Is it Ran Zirou again?
This child is truly a scourge to the Cultivation of the True Path world.
If it weren't for wanting to obtain information about the Demon Prince's Soul from her, he would have killed this brat with a single blow!
At that moment, the voice of the Thunder God Hall Sect Master entered his ears.
"Sect Master Jiang, if there are hidden Secret Realm within the Forbidden Zone near Fangxun Mountain's territory, would you be interested in exploring them?"
Large-scale Secret Realm in the Cultivation of the True Path world are all public knowledge, especially those left behind by Mahayana Stage experts. These Secret Realm contain countless treasures and are highly sought after by everyone.
They were more interested in the Secret Realm than the personal affairs of the younger generation.
The Spirit Sword Sect Master lowered his eyes and said calmly, "We'll discuss this in detail after Sect Master Yin and Sect Master Qu return."
The Thunder God Hall Sect Master nodded.
The matter was quickly settled.
Qu Feng and Yun Dong'er even returned to continue their engagement ceremony.
The two Sect Masters have reached an agreement: Secret Realm Forbidden Zone Fangxun Mountain will be shared by all Sect, and some juniors will be sent in to explore it. Whether they can obtain fortuitous opportunity depends on their own abilities.
Li Zi was completely oblivious to the conversation between the various Sect Master; her entire attention was focused on the newlyweds.
The ceremony continued, and the engagement banquet was about to conclude.
However, unlike before, Qu Feng smiled and looked at Yun Dong'er with deep affection.
Yun Dong'er lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to meet his gaze.
Li Zi surprise, "[System, the atmosphere between them has changed. Have they already talked things out?]"
The system flipped through the book: [Oh, the young couple had a fight just now, but they've made up now. Qu Feng is such a blockhead; cultivating all day is so boring. He should learn from Huo Fei and Gong Lin, the couple goes to the Spirit Beast Forest together, explores secret Secret Realm, and can even practice their combined Martial Arts Techniques. That adds a touch of fun to life.]
Although it was embarrassing for the couple to have their private matters discussed, Yun Dong'er still secretly squeezed Qu Feng's hand.
"Let's go explore the Secret Realm after we get engaged. I also feel that staying in the cave abode to cultivate all day is meaningless."
A blush crept onto Qu Feng's pale, handsome face.
He smiled indulgently, "Okay, go wherever you want."
They were childhood sweethearts, and most of the time they cultivated in their Sect, occasionally exchanging messages to arrange meetings. They rarely even argued and treated each other with the utmost respect.
As time went on, many problems arose in this relationship.
Qu Feng only cares about cultivation. He will accept the little romantic gifts that Yun Dong'er sends, but he will never take the initiative to give them to her.
Yun Dong'er has the personality of Little Princess who needs love to protect her. She is stubborn and may feel uncomfortable if the Qu Feng is ignored, but she will never say anything about it.
Their relationship appeared peaceful and comfortable on the surface, but in reality, many Rift had already appeared.
This engagement is an outlet for venting years of pent-up frustration.
Yun Dong'er was persuaded by Qu Cang to run away from her arranged marriage, wanting to go to the Mortal World to have some fun and see new things.
If they hadn't heard this heartfelt sentiment, they would still have never communicated or worked things out with each other, and they would have missed each other in this lifetime.
Perhaps one day, Qu Feng will discover that Yun Dong'er has disappeared, be devastated, and go completely insane, but by then it will be too late.
They finally talked things out, and both felt that they were one step closer to each other.
