Chapter 285 Master, Are You Here to Get Married?
Jinghe Palace.
There are two honorable seats on the high throne.
On the table above the throne stood a plate of spiritual fruits, a pot of tea, and two jade cups.
Chen Xuan lifted his outer robe with extremely graceful movements and slowly sat down on the left.
He gently stroked the armrest of the throne beside him, his eyes filled with anticipation as he asked softly, "Yun Che, why haven't you come yet?"
Below, rows of monks sat in neat rows, discussing among themselves, "Why hasn't the Emperor appeared yet?"
"Yes, I haven't seen the Frost Moon Sect Master come to the square for morning exercises in the past month. Could it be that the two of them are in seclusion and practicing hard?"
On the chief seat on the left, one meter below Chen Xuan, True Man Jiuyang sat upright, his desk standing side by side with Bai Yuan's desk.
On the table behind them, Xu Wan and Xuan Qing sat side by side.
Xu Wan inadvertently looked up at the platform and saw Chen Xuan sitting there alone, with Yun Che still nowhere to be seen.
A feeling of loss suddenly welled up in her heart, and she recalled the words of the monk before. The leader of Frost Moon Sect had not appeared for a month.
Oh, they are really together...
This thought lingered in her mind, making her mood more complicated.
On the chief seat on the right, Jun Yan sat upright, his eyes deep and steady.
One meter behind him, two white jade desks stood side by side.
Mu Shaoxuan sat quietly, his face as calm as water, as if he knew everything around him.
On his right was Mu Qing, who was walking slowly towards the throne on the high platform with an elegant and calm demeanor, taking light lotus steps.
Mu Qing was seen standing on the high platform, bending over to pick up the exquisite teapot, and skillfully pouring a cup of tea.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's eyes were fixed on her, with appreciation and expectation flashing in his eyes.
Mu Qing offered the teacup with both hands, bowed, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Master, wish you a happy new year."
At this moment, all the monks focused their attention on her.
She was wearing a gorgeous blue long dress and her hair was tied up high, which made her look dignified and elegant. When she bent down, her graceful figure was fully revealed, which was very charming.
Chen Xuan took the teacup, blew on it gently, took a few sips, and then placed the teacup on the table.
He held his long beard with his hand, nodded slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Servant, grant me the spirit stone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant stood up from the desk below, walked quickly to the platform, and bowed to Chen Xuan.
Then, he took out a purple-gold spirit stone that was shining with purple light from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Qing respectfully.
However, Mu Qing did not rush to take the spirit stone, but bowed to Chen Xuan again.
There was a hint of humility and gratitude in his voice: "Mu Qing only offered a cup of tea, the Sect Master is being too generous."
Her manners were proper and her words were sincere, which won her admiration from the monks present.
The cultivator below looked at the spiritual stone shining with purple light, his heart filled with desire and envy.
Xu Wan's gaze remained fixed on Mu Qing. She sneered inwardly, thinking to herself, "Mu Qing, you clearly want this spirit stone so badly, why are you being so reserved?"
"Emperor, the Frost Moon Sect Master has arrived!"
Only two loud and solemn male voices rang out in unison, echoing in every corner of the hall.
They were two male guards standing on both sides of the hall's entrance. They had tall and straight postures and solemn expressions, like two unshakable mountains, guarding the hall's dignity and glory.
Following these two announcements, the eyes of all the monks turned towards the entrance of the hall like a tide, anticipating the arrival of the two important figures.
Yun Che and Shuang Yue, both dressed in white clothes as white as snow, walked in side by side.
Their steps are light and graceful, like immortals walking on the clouds, which inspires admiration.
Some people looked at them walking side by side and couldn't help but sigh: "They are such a perfect match, it's simply a match made in heaven!"
"Yes, wouldn't the Emperor and the Wuji Sect's leader have already become a couple?"
The people around him echoed, their eyes flashing with curiosity and speculation.
"For the past month, Sect Master Frost Moon hasn't come to preside over morning exercises. Could it be that they're practicing together to strengthen their relationship?"
Others were whispering, their words filled with envy and admiration for the two powerful men.
However, some people expressed a different opinion: "Doesn't the Emperor love that cat?"
"Hey, what do you know?"
The person next to him shook his head, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes, "Strong men are always surrounded by beauties, and Emperor Zun, as a powerful man of his generation, is naturally no exception.
But he is also loyal, loving only Frost Moon and the cat.
I just wonder who will be the empress in the end?"
Xu Wan sat in front of the desk, the whisk placed on her legs, and she held the long handle tightly.
Watching the two of them slowly walk into the hall from the main hall door.
Her eyes were complex and deep, and she felt sad in her heart: "This is not attending a New Year's banquet, it's clearly like attending your wedding.
Why am I here? My adoptive father clearly set this up to break my obsession with you!"
On the high platform, Chen Xuan smiled and gestured to Mu Qing, who was still standing, to go and take a seat.
Mu Qing nodded slightly, walked down the platform gracefully, and slowly sat down in front of the table below.
At this moment, Yun Che and Shuang Yue walked towards the platform side by side, their steps steady and coordinated.
Yun Che bowed and smiled at Chen Xuan, his tone apologetic, "I'm so sorry to have kept Brother Chen Xuan waiting for so long."
Chen Xuan waved his hand generously and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you think it through and stay with Shuangyue."
As he spoke, he looked at Shuangyue and ordered, "Shuangyue, quickly serve tea to the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Shimotsuki took immediate action.
She walked over to Yun Che, bent over and poured a cup of fragrant tea, gently placed it on Yun Che's desk, and said in a gentle voice: "Emperor, this is your favorite Jasmine Dragon Pearl. Please have some tea."
When the monks saw the Emperor taking his seat, they all stood up, clasped their hands together, and said respectfully, "You are here to pay your respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
Yun Che glanced at the teacup briefly, then glanced downwards and said loudly, "I'm sorry to have kept you cultivators waiting for so long.
I heard that you have a show to perform. I've been looking forward to it for a long time.
For those who perform brilliantly, I will reward them with 100,000 mid-grade purple gold spirit stones as an encouragement!"
His voice was loud and powerful, echoing throughout the hall and lifting the spirits of the monks present.
Some monks stood up and shouted: "Long live the Emperor! The Emperor is wise and holy!"
Below, Xu Wan sat upright in front of the white jade desk, slowly raised her eyes and looked towards the high platform above.
Yun Che was seen wearing a gorgeous snow-white robe. The robe looked like the first snow that fell in winter, pure and elegant.
He wore a dazzling golden crown on his head, and his inky black hair on both sides looked like flowing ink, each with a long golden hair chain attached to it.
The hair chain swayed gently with his movements, hanging down to his chest, sparkling with dazzling light.
At this moment, Yun Che exuded an irresistible charm, tempting people to go deeper.
Xu Wan's gaze involuntarily turned to Shuangyue who was standing beside him.
I saw Shuangyue with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing an exquisite silver crown, which was shining brightly under the light.
She was wearing a snow-white dress with round pearls inlaid on her shoulders.
Just like stars dotted in the night sky, she is covered in jewels, noble and elegant.
Xu Wan sighed softly and thought to herself, "Master, you are really dressed up today...
This hair chain, this is the first time I see you wearing it.
Are you two dressed like this today to get married?"
An inexplicable feeling of bitterness and loss welled up in her heart.
Xuan Qing, who was sitting next to Xu Wan, glanced at her inadvertently, and his deep eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.
He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
He knew that Xu Wan was feeling very uncomfortable right now!
