We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 570: Tushan Jingci Has Come to Present a Wedding Gift!

Inside Seeking Immortality Temple, once most of the guests had arrived, the auspicious hour came as well.

The Daoist attendants of Seeking Immortality Temple lit the firecrackers that had been prepared in advance. Crackling explosions rang out across every corner of the temple’s main peak, one after another, as red scraps flew through the air.

Ceremonial horns, gongs, drums, and all manner of instruments sounded in turn, their cheerful melodies echoing through the mountains.

The Daoist temple, normally quiet and elegant, grew lively all at once, festive joy filling every corner.

Xiao Mo mounted a horse draped in red and hung with bright decorations, then slowly rode toward the courtyard where Gui Junmeng lived.

A large, lavishly decorated bridal sedan chair followed unhurriedly behind him, swaying gently with each step.

Many of the guests—especially the younger disciples of the Daoist temple—trailed after the procession in high spirits, joining the fun, laughing and chatting until they formed a long, winding line like a dragon.

Before long, Xiao Mo arrived at the entrance to Gui Junmeng’s courtyard.

Senior Sister Lin, Senior Sister Huang, and several other senior and junior sisters had already lined up at the gate to welcome him, all of them smiling brightly.

The sisters of Seeking Immortality Temple had specially arranged a few playful hurdles for the bridal procession, such as catching flying swords with spiritual power and solving chess problems. None of them were especially difficult. They were mainly there to make the occasion more festive and lively.

The only thing that made Xiao Mo feel somewhat embarrassed was that they asked him to compose a few lines of love poetry in public.

Only after those verses earned the sisters’ approval would they let Xiao Mo through the gate.

Helpless, Xiao Mo could only take up the brush and compose several poems. As Senior Sister Lin and the others listened, their cheeks gradually turned red. One by one, they rubbed their arms and said, “So sappy, so sappy,” while smiling brightly and finally stepping aside to let Xiao Mo pass.

After entering the courtyard, Xiao Mo followed custom and stood before the door, facing the bride’s room, then recited the formal words requesting the bride.

His voice was clear and steady, every word sincere.

A moment later, the door to the bride’s room finally opened slowly.

Tushan Xinhua held the red silk in one hand and her daughter’s hand in the other, leading her toward Xiao Mo step by step.

When Xiao Mo saw Tushan Xinhua personally bringing Junmeng out, he was slightly startled at first. Then a trace of relief rose in his heart, and he quietly watched as the two of them approached.

“Xiao Mo, from this day onward, I entrust Junmeng to you. I hope you will treat her well and never fail her.”

Tushan Xinhua led her daughter, who was about to be married, to Xiao Mo. She stopped in front of him, looked at him solemnly, and spoke in a gentle voice.

“As husband and wife spend a lifetime together, there will inevitably be some friction. If there are times when Junmeng does something wrong, you must be a little more forgiving. There is nothing in this world that cannot be resolved if two people discuss it properly.”

“Yes. Please rest assured, Madam.” Xiao Mo nodded seriously. “I will treat Junmeng well.”

“Even now, you still call me ‘Madam’?” Tushan Xinhua laughed softly.

Xiao Mo froze for a moment. Then, with a touch of bashfulness, he changed his words and said, “Mother...”

“That is more like it.” Tushan Xinhua smiled and placed the red silk in Xiao Mo’s hand.

The instant Xiao Mo took the red silk, he could clearly feel Gui Junmeng’s hand tremble softly at the other end.

Beneath the red bridal veil, the woman lowered her head of her own accord, hiding the face that had already flushed red with shyness.

Even without seeing her, Xiao Mo could imagine how embarrassed she must look beneath the veil.

After carefully leading Gui Junmeng into the bridal sedan chair, Xiao Mo mounted the red-draped horse again and sat firmly in the saddle.

The ceremonial horns sounded cheerfully once more. Gongs and drums rang out together, and the grand bridal procession made its way toward Seeking Immortality Temple’s great hall.

At the entrance to the great hall, Xiao Mo dismounted, then gently led Gui Junmeng out of the bridal sedan chair.

The two of them entered the hall side by side. First, they reverently bowed to the ancestral masters of the Three Pure Ones, then bowed together to the generations of patriarchs who had passed down Seeking Immortality Temple’s lineage.

Finally, the two of them bowed deeply before a portrait of a human sword immortal whose features were indistinct.

Xiao Mo had heard countless stories of this human sword immortal’s deeds, and his heart was filled with reverence.

He knew very well that if this human sword immortal had not risen in resistance back then, all races in the world today would still be treated like straw dogs, enslaved by the gods generation after generation, with no chance to ever turn their fate around.

After they paid respects to the patriarchs and sages, the various gift-announcement rituals began.

Those who had come to attend the banquet were all people of status and reputation. Moreover, according to the wedding customs of the demon-race world, each person’s gift had to be announced aloud. Naturally, then, none of the gifts they had brought could be too light. Otherwise, they could hardly avoid losing face.

However, when Senior Sister Lin announced that Gui Ning and Tushan Xinhua had each given an immortal-grade magic tool as a congratulatory gift, the great hall, which had still been somewhat noisy a moment earlier, instantly fell silent.

The guests’ proud expressions stiffened at once. One by one, they looked at each other, suddenly feeling that their own gifts were a little too embarrassing to bring out.

After the gift announcements ended, the auspicious hour for the wedding ceremony had arrived as well.

The guests took their seats one after another throughout Seeking Immortality Temple, and appetizers had already been placed on the tables.

But at this moment, not many people picked up their chopsticks.

They were all waiting for the most important moment to arrive.

“The auspicious hour has arrived! The wedding ceremony begins! Elders, please take your seats.”

Senior Sister Lin stood in the center of the great hall and called out, her voice clear and solemn.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gui Ning, Tushan Xinhua, and Daoist Yunxi walked together to the very front and slowly took their seats.

“What is going on? Why is Gui Ning going up there?”

“And Tushan Xinhua too? What exactly is their relationship with Gui Junmeng?”

“Could it be... those rumors were true?”

For a time, whispers rose throughout the banquet hall.

Many people thought of the rumor that had been circulating for a long time—that the Tushan holy daughter and Gui Junmeng were sisters.

Although they did not know the twists and turns behind it, the scene before their eyes undoubtedly confirmed that the rumor was most likely true.

“First bow, to Heaven and Earth!”

As Senior Sister Lin’s voice spread through the entire great hall, all the whispers vanished instantly, and the hall fell into solemn silence.

At the front of the great hall, Xiao Mo and Gui Junmeng faced Heaven and Earth, then bowed deeply.

“Second bow, to the elders!”

Xiao Mo and Gui Junmeng turned and bowed together to Gui Ning, Tushan Xinhua, and Daoist Yunxi.

“Husband and wife, bow to each other!”

Under Yunxi and the others’ smiling gazes, Xiao Mo and Gui Junmeng turned around and stood face-to-face.

“Bow!” Senior Sister Lin called loudly, her tone full of joy, though a little emotion inevitably rose in her heart.

In the past, the sisters had often wondered among themselves: such a wonderful junior sister of theirs—who would end up being lucky enough to have her?

Now, it seemed that person was Xiao Mo.

Still, well, he was not bad.

And just as Xiao Mo and Gui Junmeng were about to bend at the waist and complete the wedding bow—

Suddenly, from outside the great hall came the voice of a male disciple making an announcement:

“Tushan—Tushan Jingci has come to present a wedding gift!”
