Chapter 108 Wedding (1)
Zhuo Sheng kept holding Zhuo Qingling for a long time without moving, without tears or expression. He was so calm as if nothing had happened.
But he hugged the person in his arms tightly, and his tightly clenched hands showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.
"Godfather..." Mu Xiaoqiao said hesitantly, "The Lord has left."
"Yeah, I know." Zhuo Sheng's voice was flat, and he didn't even seem sad at all. However, he wanted to hug Zhuo Qingling and get up, but he couldn't stand up several times.
Ruan Haoyu stepped forward to help him lift Zhuo Qingling up, and Zhuo Sheng finally stood firm. He pursed his lips, frowned, and had a confused look on his face, as if he didn't know where to go.
Ruan Haoyu said worriedly: "Master, Master Uncle... otherwise, let's just bury her."
"I want to take her back to the Medical Immortal Valley," Zhuo Sheng said, "She wants me to accompany her. She once learned medical skills better than me. She will definitely like the Medical Immortal Valley."
"Then let me carry you, uncle." Ruan Haoyu was afraid that Zhuo Sheng would be too stimulated and might have some health problems.
Zhuo Sheng hesitated for a moment. He was indeed a little exhausted at the moment. After thinking about it, he nodded. Ruan Haoyu squatted down, and Mu Xiaoqiao helped Zhuo Sheng put Zhuo Qingling's body on his back.
The three of them hurried back to the Medical Valley, but on the way they met Ling Xiao and Zhao Minna who came to attend the wedding. They were both surprised to see the lord on Ruan Haoyu's back.
Mu Xiaoqiao briefly explained the matter to them, and both of them sighed.
Three days later, after returning to the valley and burying Zhuo Qingling, Zhuo Sheng stayed indoors and left all matters in the valley to the wizard, including the marriage of Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao.
However, the two of them felt that given Zhuo Sheng's current state of mind, it was not appropriate for them to get married at this time, so they postponed the wedding for three months.
Mu Xiaoqiao, Ling Xiao and Zhao Minna discussed and decided that the matter of the Silent Organization needed to be resolved. There were still many killers there and they were all under control. Ling Xiao was fast on his feet, so he asked Ruan Haoyu for the antidote and decided to go to Jinling City.
Zhao Minna and Mu Xiaoqiao reorganized Zhuo Qingling's Armored Guards. They were secret guards trained by Zhuo Qingling. They were loyal and only obeyed her orders. When Zhuo Qingling died, they were leaderless and immediately lost their composure.
Mu Xiaoqiao had a secret talk with the leader of the Armored Guard for a day and a night, and finally persuaded him to disband the Armored Guard and regain his freedom. If anyone was willing to stay in the Medical Immortal Valley, they would naturally welcome him, and if anyone did not want to stay, they could leave on their own.
Most of the Armored Guards, like these killers, have no home, so many of them choose to stay in the Medical Immortal Valley, adding a lot of backup forces to the Medical Immortal Valley.
Zhuo Sheng went to Zhuo Qingling's grave every evening, bringing a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts. He would sit there until late at night. He did not allow others to get close to him, so no one knew what he was talking to Zhuo Qingling.
Three months later.
The day of Mu Xiaoqiao and Ruan Haoyu's wedding has finally arrived. Zhuo Sheng's mental state has improved a lot these days, and he would smile occasionally, but he seemed much more stable than before, and his smile was more forced.
But he was really happy today. His most beloved disciple and his adopted daughter were getting married. They were both family members, no different from each other, so he sat alone in the center of the wedding hall, being the elder of both the man and the woman.
The Medical Valley has not been this lively for a long time. Those armored guards have liked the Medical Valley more and more since they retired. They have lived on the edge of a knife for half their lives, and now it is not easy to live a peaceful life, so they naturally cherish it even more.
Ling Xiao also rushed back from Jinling City, and brought back a few old acquaintances of Mu Xiaoqiao. These people were once famous killers, but now they heard that Zhuo Qingling was dead and there was an antidote to the poison in their bodies, so they had no plans to be killers anymore.
Seeing that they had nowhere to go, Ling Xiao brought them back to the Medical Immortal Valley to attend the wedding of Mu Xiaoqiao and Ruan Haoyu.
So the Medical Valley was particularly lively on this day.
As soon as she got up in the morning, Zhao Minna began to urge Mu Xiaoqiao to dress up. She invited two maids from outside the valley to make a complicated bun for Mu Xiaoqiao and put on a lot of jewelry.
Mu Xiaoqiao had never worn so many jewellery since she could remember. She always tied her hair up high, which was simple, comfortable and convenient. But now she just felt that her head was heavy, as if it was about to fall off.
"Do I really have to wear so many?" Mu Xiaoqiao asked the old woman behind her with a bitter face. This was too troublesome.
"You have to wear it. You are a bride today. Every woman only has this chance in her life. Just be patient." The old woman looked left and right behind her, but still felt unsatisfied. She picked up another pearl hairpin and inserted it on the top of her head.
Mu Xiaoqiao held her forehead with her hand. Isn't it just a marriage? Is it necessary to do this? Dress her up like a peacock.
But I have to say that Mu Xiaoqiao is so beautiful after dressing up. She usually doesn't like to wear makeup, but after a little dressing up, her eyebrows are like distant ink, her eyes are like stars, and her eyes are bright and shining, which makes Zhao Minna couldn't help but stare at her.
"Xiao Qiao, it seems that not only am I not as good as you in martial arts, but I am also not as good-looking as you. No wonder I am always ranked below you."
In the past, Zhao Minna was always proud of her beauty and her outstanding martial arts and intelligence, so she ranked second in the Silent Organization. She was always dissatisfied and always made trouble for Mu Xiaoqiao.
Later, her mood changed, and after Ling Xiao and Mu Xiaoqiao turned from enemies to friends, she originally thought that she was just not as good as her in martial arts, but now she realized that she could not compare to Mu Xiaoqiao in terms of intelligence, appearance, or broad-mindedness.
Some people are born to stand out from the crowd.
Mu Xiaoqiao was only worried about the complicated headdress at the moment. Did she really have to wear such a heavy headdress for a whole day? It would be more tiring than practicing martial arts for a whole day.
"Nana, stop making fun of me. Is this really beautiful? Why do I feel so awkward?" Mu Xiaoqiao tugged at her earrings and touched the tassel hairpin on her head.
"Little ancestor, please stop talking nonsense. We have finally gotten this done. The auspicious time is about to arrive. We should get ready and go out to get married." One of the old women hurriedly grabbed Mu Xiaoqiao's restless hands.
Mu Xiaoqiao sighed and put down his hand resignedly, "Okay, I'll endure it."
The red veil covered Mu Xiaoqiao's eyes, and in an instant, only a sea of red remained in front of her eyes. The bridesmaid pushed the door open and saw that she had already packed up, and hurriedly said loudly: "The bride is coming out."
Mu Xiaoqiao was supported by the matchmaker as she walked out of the door. Then, a piece of red silk was stuffed into her hand. She held it tightly. Only at this moment did she suddenly feel a little nervous.
