Amid the cheers and congratulations of the Canglan Righteous Path cultivators, Yang Yuanhong and Dongfang Yingcai entered Pine Mountain's ancestral hall.
In the inner courtyard, Yang Yuanhong's mother, Wu Tong, and the Yang Clan Patriarch, Yang Lingqing, appeared as the Yang Clan's elders. Representing the Dongfang Clan's elders were the two True Intent high cultivators, Dongfang Zonggan and Dongfang Zongyi.
Yang Lingrui, Dongfang Yinghao, and the other relatives stood in rows along either side of the ancestral hall, witnessing this important moment for the newlyweds.
"Mm... they're here. From now on, Yingcai will be with Big Brother... Hiss—she'll definitely be happy."
Watching the two slowly approach, Dongfang Yinghao was deeply moved as well. Sniffling, he spoke.
"Of course she will. Dragon Lord is such a towering hero of this age. Yingcai has found a fine match. As her brother, you should be happy. Come, smile."
At his side, Liu Yanqing used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from Dongfang Yinghao's eyes, then gently lifted the corners of his cheeks with both hands. "There, doesn't that look much better? Today is a day of great joy—you can't wear such a mournful face."
After Liu Yanqing's fussing, Dongfang Yinghao burst out laughing. Then he nodded. "Yes! Yanqing, you're right! Today is a joyous day for my little sister and Big Brother!"
After settling his emotions, Dongfang Yinghao turned his head and happened to see Yang Yuanhong looking his way. He gathered his breath, composed his mind, raised his hand in salute, and offered his congratulations. "On this auspicious day, congratulations to Big Brother and Little Sister on becoming Dao companions and forging an immortal bond together!"
"May your Dao hearts be joined as one from this day forth, your paths smooth and open, and your years ever peaceful!"
"Well said!"
