Chapter 364 - Wedding Date (1/2)
“Father, why… why did you suddenly bring this up?” Cang Wanhe’s words caused Cang Yue to be at a loss for a moment. Forcefully tugging onto Cang Wanhe’s clothes, half of her expression was filled with anxiousness… However, the eyes she quietly cast on Yun Che, revealed expectations that she was making an utmost effort to hide.
As long as one was not an idiot, anyone would clearly understand what Cang Wanhe’s words meant. And when he said these words, Cang Yue was just beside him. With her here, obviously, Yun Che was unable to prevaricate. His lips moved, his gaze made a slight contact with Cang Yue’s eyes, and then, he said with a serious expression. “Your Majesty, Senior Sister and I are mutual in our love, we have once experienced a tribulation of life and death together, and have once made a lifetime promise. However, back then, I did not know that Senior Sister Xueruo was actually Princess Cang Yue. I, Yun Che, am only of common birth. As long as senior sister is willing, as long as your majesty does not mind, in this lifetime of mine, I will definitely use my life to protect senior sister, and will never betray her.”
“Junior Brother Yun…” Cang Yue’s lips trembled, her beautiful eyes instantly turned misty.
“Good! Hahahaha!” Cang Wanhe nodded strongly, and then, he laughed out loud with his head raised. “Yun Che, with these words of yours, we can finally put down the biggest worry of my life. For your own relatives, you could exterminate the entire Burning Heaven Clan in anger without a single hesitation. From this, we know that you’re definitely a righteous person who takes bonds very seriously. By passing Yue’er to you, we can be completely at ease. Hahahaha.”
Cang Wanhe laughed out loud heartfully. Yun Che’s current strength, influential power, had already reached Blue Wind’s summit. The Sword Saint’s defeat that he caused, had made all the sects shudder, and had even brought the mighty Xiao Sect to traverse a long distance to seek a compromise without any hesitation. If Cang Yue was able to marry to him, then, with his abilities, his deterrent strength, and that seemingly extreme protection for his relatives, he could bring down ten thousand people. And the entire imperial family, would rise into incomparable might because of this!
Dongfang Xiu, who was behind Cang Wanhe, began to nod smilingly as well.
Cang Wanhe’s loud laughter finally stopped. Then, his expression changed, and he said with a serious tone. “Since the two of you are mutual in this relationship, then there are no other problems. On the eighth two months later, it will be the most auspicious day of this year. On that day, we will host your wedding in this imperial palace. Do either of you have any objections?”
“Ah!” Cang Yue let out a tender cry. She completely never expected that Cang Wanhe would suddenly bring up the wedding.
“Ah… This… This is…” Although he had a hunch, when Cang Wanhe said that it would be set two months later, it still caused him to feel at a loss for a moment. “Isn’t this… a little… too rushed…”
“Too rushed? How is it rushed?” Cang Wanhe glared, his voice instantly rose to a high volume. “Yue’er is twenty and one years old this year, and should have married long ago. You have reached nineteen this year as well, and should have taken a wife long ago. There are many hands in the palace. In a span of two months, let alone a single big wedding, even ten weddings could be prepared! How is that rushed!?”
“Father…” Cang Yue tugged the corner of Cang Wanhe’s clothes, hanging down her head. She said somewhat shyly. “This matter… About this matter, isn’t father a little too hasty… Also, Yun Che already had a wife three years ago. If he marries again, shouldn’t we first…”
“We naturally know about this!” Cang Wanhe waved his hand. “In this day and age, which man does not have three or four wives? This basically isn’t a problem! Yun Che, I say, as a man, with only a single wife at the age of nineteen, even we look down upon you. Even if you yourself don’t progress in this aspect, you have to think of your grandfather as well…”
When he spoke of “grandfather”, Cang Wanhe slapped his own head. “We actually forgot about such an important matter… Brother Xiao, ah, no, Senior Xiao. You’re Yun Che’s elder, naturally, this wedding must go through your approval first. What do you… think about this?”
Cang Wanhe was very willing to call him “Senior Xiao”. He was Cang Yue’s father, Xiao Lie was Yun Che’s grandfather, if the two were to be wedded, in terms of seniority, Xiao Lie would be his actual elder then.
Regarding this matter, Xiao Lie naturally would not have any objections. For his own grandson to marry the only princess of the Blue Wind Imperial Palace, prior to this, it was something he would not even dare to dream of. And, the two of them, clearly, had long been deeply in love, so how could he still have the slightest hesitation? He chuckled. “It is Yun Che’s great fortune to be able to marry the princess as his wife. Naturally, I won’t have any objections in this matter. This decision shall be left to your majesty, and the two juniors.” He turned towards Yun Che, and said with a calm voice. “Che’er, since you and Princess Cang Yue have already promised to be lifetime companions, then, what’s wrong with getting married at an earlier date? If the time is not convenient, then you can just say it, and have your majesty set it on another date.”
In the period of time he left the Sword Management Terrace of Heavenly Sword Villa, Yun Che had traversed to the imperial city, traversed to the snow region, returned to New Moon City and Floating Cloud City, and traversed to the Bluefire Region… He did not have a single day of rest, nor did he have the spare time to think of the word “marriage”. When Cang Wanhe suddenly brought it up, he lost his head instinctively. However, after slowly calming himself down, he suddenly felt that this was clearly something wonderful.
He loved Cang Yue, not because of her identity as the princess, rather, it was because she was Senior Sister Xueruo, who had unknowingly engraved herself in his heart.
He felt unworthy for Ling’er...
He had lost Chu Yuechan...
Now, when Cang Yue was by his side, shouldn’t he grasp onto her firmly, and have her belong to him forever?
He looked towards Cang Yue, and Cang Yue was quietly looking towards him at this moment as well. In her eyes, he could see unease, loss… but there were even more expectations and joy. He unconsciously smiled, and that small amount of fluster on his face completely disappeared. He bowed towards Cang Wanhe, and said decisively. “To be able to take senior sister as my wife, is also my lifetime’s wish. Thank you, your majesty for fulfilling it. Everything, shall go according to your majesty’s decisions.”
“Good! Good! Good!!” Cang Wanhe said the word “good” three times, then, he raised his head, and began to laugh loudly to his heart’s content, to the point where tears began to appear from the corner of his eyes.
At this moment, Yun Che suddenly felt an irregular surge of profound energy coming from outside. Right after, this aura suddenly rose into the air, and then, with incredible speed, it flew towards the far north.
This is… Qingyue’s aura?
She had always been outside? Then, she had heard their entire conversation.
Wait a minute, the direction she was heading to, and that ever-increasing speed… Clearly, she was leaving the imperial palace!
“Hurry and declare to the entire world, our Princess Cang Yue will be married to Yun Che in two months! Have the literary department quickly draft out invitations, and invite the entire world…”
