Deciding to Attend Jiang Ziya's Wedding
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya was immediately taken aback.
He's eighty years old now.
Song Yiren even arranged a wife for him?
Isn't this utterly ridiculous? How can someone so old possibly remarry?
His main purpose in descending the mountain this time was to preside over the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.
If I were to marry a woman down the mountain, wouldn't that just invite ridicule from my fellow disciples?
"Absolutely not, absolutely not! I've never thought about getting married and starting a family. Besides, I'm already too old for that. Brother, please don't worry about it."
Song Yiren, however, was not pleased.
"Although you are now a member of the Immortal Dao, you are still my brother. How can you forget your roots?"
"As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. I'm making the decision for you. Is there any reason why your marriage is unsuitable?"
"You don't even listen to your elder brother? What kind of immortal are you cultivating? What kind of Tao are you seeking?"
"You have to marry that Old Ma's daughter, whether you like it or not!"
Having said that, the statement was extremely forceful, leaving Jiang Ziya almost no room for rebuttal.
Jiang Ziya was also stunned. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter a word.
He had never thought about getting married.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at his elder brother's house, his brother arranged a marriage for him.
And she had already agreed without his knowledge; what was he supposed to do?
Wouldn't this have unjustly burdened him with a lot of karma?
He shook his head after a long while.
"In that case, I will marry the girl from the Ma family."
"But let me make this clear from the start: if that Ma family girl doesn't suit my taste, my brother can't stop me from divorcing her."
Song Yiren finally nodded upon hearing this.
"That Ma family girl is virtuous, kind, and extremely chaste; she's a perfect match for you."
"Hurry up and get ready. You'll be seeing him tomorrow, and it's only proper etiquette to observe."
Early the next morning, Song Yiren led Jiang Ziya to the Ma family.
He personally met with Mr. Ma, the patriarch of the Ma family.
Mr. Ma also hosted a banquet, inviting Song Yiren and Jiang Ziya to drink.
In the backyard, two very old women were chatting.
One of them was the young lady of the Ma family, and the other was her maid; both were in their fifties or sixties.
"Miss, the husband that Master Song told you about has arrived. Master is in the front yard having a drink with him."
Upon hearing this, even the frail and elderly Lady Ma showed a hint of shyness.
"What kind of young lady am I? I'm already this old, I'm just an old woman at best... sigh..."
Seeing her mistress sighing and complaining, the maidservant was indignant.
"No matter how old you are, you're still a young lady. Everyone's destiny is different. Although you're old, your destiny has come."
"It is said that Jiang Ziya is a member of the immortal sect, who has been cultivating immortality in the mountains for over forty years. Now that he has returned, it would be perfect time for him to fulfill his destiny with Miss. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Lady Ma smiled slightly.
"I'm already sixty-three, how can I still be a bride?"
"So what if you're sixty-three? Jiang Ziya was seventy or eighty, and he still achieved success in his cultivation, didn't he?"
Age is not a big problem.
Just as the maid and Lady Ma were chatting in secret.
Another maidservant arrived.
The maidservant held a Fire Jujube in her hand and handed it to Lady Ma.
"Miss, Miss, what a wonderful surprise! Mr. Jiang Ziya has brought you a gift."
He said these Fire Jujube were a secret treasure and that I should personally deliver them to the young lady.
"And I have to watch the young lady eat it."
Lady Ma was a little curious and examined the Fire Jujube in her hand carefully.
In the end, I ate it anyway.
After Lady Ma ate the Fire Jujube.
I instantly felt an unbearable itch all over my body.
I couldn't help but reach out and grab it.
She actually tore off a large patch of skin in an instant.
This change naturally took her by surprise.
She quickly went to look in the mirror.
But then they discovered there was another wound beneath the main wound?
It's clearly a different piece of skin.
While that area of skin wasn't exactly crystal clear, it was much fairer and had far fewer wrinkles.
This naturally delighted her.
He quickly instructed the maids to begin peeling off the skin; large pieces of skin, like tree bark, were torn off by the two of them.
Her fair skin was revealed.
Looking in the mirror again, I found that I seemed to have regained my youth, and I actually looked like I was in my forties or fifties.
Although she's not that young, she's already much prettier.
This moment brought tears of joy to Lady Ma.
She never imagined that one day she could become young again.
This was a huge surprise for her.
It seems even the heavens have ordained her to marry Jiang Ziya.
Having figured these things out, Lady Ma was naturally quite excited.
Then he sneaked out to secretly observe Jiang Ziya.
In the front yard, the old father was drinking with Mr. Song and Jiang Ziya.
A huge pig's head was placed in the very center of the table.
The surrounding dishes were also extremely plentiful, with chicken, duck, fish, and meat all available.
Lady Ma secretly watched Jiang Ziya.
Although Jiang Ziya had white hair and beard, he was thin and had a somewhat otherworldly appearance.
He still looks quite young.
Lady Ma was naturally quite pleased.
In the following days...
The two families then began preparing for a grand wedding banquet.
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was cultivating in his own palace.
This period of seclusion for cultivation is no small matter.
After all, he was refining the Pangu Bloodline. Once he successfully refined the Pangu Bloodline, his strength would inevitably receive an immense boost.
By then, when we fight Yuanshi Tianzun again, we'll probably be able to defeat him easily.
This was clearly of great importance to Ye Xuan, and he remained in deep seclusion for several days.
At this moment, Su Daji quietly approached Ye Xuan's side.
"Master, the sisters have sent a message; I'm wondering if we should inform you."
Hearing Daji's voice, Ye Xuan snapped out of his cultivation state.
It seems that refining the Pangu Bloodline is not something that can be done in a short time.
He has been practicing his speech diligently for the past few days, but he still hasn't found a clue.
It seems we can only take it one step at a time.
"What news?"
"Master, in the Chaoge City, there is a family surnamed Song who are about to hold a wedding banquet. It is said to be the wedding of a powerful being who has returned from seeking immortality."
"This powerful figure who returned from his quest for immortality was none other than Jiang Ziya, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect."
"This person is no ordinary individual, so my women passed on this information."
Jiang Ziya was taken aback upon hearing this.
Jiang Ziya?
Jiang Ziya got married?
He immediately realized that there really was such a thing.
Historically, Jiang Ziya did indeed marry in Chaoge and lived Chaoge for a period of time.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan's heart was filled with killing intent.
This guy is one of the main characters in the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.
The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods hasn't truly begun yet, so should we kill this guy beforehand?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to kill this guy, then seize the Investiture of the Gods?
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Ye Xuan shook his head.
Killing Jiang Ziya would actually be of no use.
At that time, the hypocritical Yuanshi Tianzun will likely send out Zhang Ziya, Li Ziya, or Ziya again.
Wouldn't things be even more complicated by then?
It would be better to spare Jiang Ziya's life.
After all, Jiang Ziya was not very capable, and could even be described as somewhat incompetent. Keeping him around would be more appropriate.
It doesn't matter who holds the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods; they can just seize it after the Investiture of the Gods is complete.
Thinking of this, he let out a cold laugh.
If Jiang Ziya were to get married, wouldn't he be marrying that elderly Lady Ma?
This is such an interesting thing, he has to go and see it.
