en curved her lips into a sarcastic smile and said in a low voice:"Hehehe, Empress Dowager truly lives up to her title. I said how could she so readily hand over the government affairs, it turns out s...On the wedding day, it is true that the Wen family will pass down their ancestral treasure to the next head of the family. However, the treasure they use for the handover is just a small part of the iceberg. The real treasure is still in the forbidden area at the back mountain, which is a whole piece of Ling Su, capable of nourishing the spiritual veins.
Ripple smiled sweetly.
As soon as he heard this, Jia Li Xia’s eyes changed, and he immediately asked:
"What you said is true."
Of course, I saw the piece of agate with my own eyes.
The ripple's answer was also very firm.
When I get back, I'll tell the elders what you need us to do.
"Of course, you're going to swarm out and confront the Wén family head-on. Hold back all of their high-ranking cultivators while I sneak into the forbidden area at the back mountain and steal that jade marrow."
What are your chances
Sixty percent.
"I will assist you then."
"Good."
Jia Li Xia got the information she wanted and turned to leave the hot spring.
In a quarter of an hour, Li Xia again brought a tray to Lian Yi's side and said crisply:
"Miss, the flower tea here is very good. I specially brewed a pot...Oh Someone has already sent it"
"Well, someone just brought over a teapot."
Ripples smiled and said.
After this little interlude, Ripples got up and left the hot spring pool. She changed into a new dress and went to have dinner with Wen Shirui.
"Miss Hua, if you want to cultivate the techniques I gave you, you must first disperse your current cultivation. The elders suggested that I wait until after my marriage to start practicing a new technique."
"Indeed, the cultivation technique I gave you is rather powerful, and your previous one had issues to begin with. Therefore, dispersing your previous cultivation and starting anew is the best choice."
Thank you for the tip, Miss Hua.
"How many days can we stay here"
Liàn yī smiled and asked.
"If Miss Hua enjoys hot springs, it wouldn't be a problem to stay for two more days. I can keep you company."
Wen Shirui said deeply and affectionately.
"I just needed to get out and clear my head. I've finished soaking in the hot springs, so my purpose is fulfilled. Tomorrow we'll return to Winterhome Keep!"
Okay, I'll do whatever you say.
Wen Shiru said this readily.
The next day, after breakfast, the group rode in a carriage back to Wenjiabao.
The man who had met with Ripple had already returned to his hidden abode and was now reporting Ripple's message to Elder Yue.
"Number Six did a good job with this. It seems sending her into the Wen family's castle was the right decision."
“Elder Yue, Li Hao said that on her wedding day, she would sneak into the forbidden area at the back of the mountain to steal the jade.”
To make sure the jade is alright, I'll personally lead a team to infiltrate the Wen Manor this time.
Elder Yue settled the matter with a single hammer blow. Of course, such a good thing should be done by himself.
"Yes, Elder Yue."
For the next twenty-odd days, both Wujia Fort and Tianxia First Floor remained remarkably calm. Both sides believed they understood each other's plans and were secretly amassing their strength, striving to settle everything in a single decisive battle.
On her wedding day, Lian Yi wore a red bridal gown. This was no ordinary bridal gown; it was a robe that Lian Yi had taken from the spatial dimension. It could withstand an attack from a distracted cultivator and was one of her few treasured robes.
"Miss, you are very beautiful today."
On the Summer Solstice, Li Xia adorned Ripples with jewelry while showering her with compliments.
"Can you charm Young Master Wen"
Ripples smiled and asked.
"Yes, of course! These past two days, young master has been asking Miss out for tea and chess every day. This servant girl has never seen young master so attentive to a woman before."
Then it's settled!
The auspicious time has arrived, please, Miss Hua, proceed to the hall.
Wén Yīng was in charge outside the door.
She was also wearing a celebratory robe today, and she would be following Rippleside throughout the wedding ceremony today.
"Thank you, Miss Wen."
The ripples of the golden phoenix crown covered her head, and she, holding the hand of Wen Ying, walked out of Cui Zhu courtyard.
When she arrived at the grand hall of Wen's Manor, Wen Shirui was already waiting there. As the groom, he too was in a red robe, with only a black belt around his waist. Hanging from the belt was the jade pendant that Lianyi had given him.
The master of the household's wounds have healed, and he is now sitting on the high platform, beside him is the mother of Wen Shirui, but her face isn't looking good, she seems unhappy with Lianyi as the new bride.
And Wen Shi-go and Wen Shi-xuan also stood aside, whispering something to the guards around them.
The auspicious time has arrived! The groom and bride bow to heaven and earth! Bow to the elders! Bow to each other! The ceremony is complete! Escort them to the bridal chamber!!!
As the chorus echoed, Ripples, guided by Wen Ying, completed all the rituals and was then helped into the new house.
After entering the new house, Liàn Yī felt the confinement of the new house had been lifted. She sighed softly and raised her hand to remove the red head covering.
"Miss, you can't unveil yourself! You have to wait for the young master to come."
At the summer solstice, Xia Zhi immediately whispered.
"Your young master won't be coming."
The people of Wenjiabao ultimately chose to confront the World's First Tower on their own, rather than joining forces with her. However, this was within her expectations.
"Miss, what does this mean"
Xia Zhi widened her eyes and asked.
This time, the ripples did not answer the young maid, she just waved her hand, causing the other to lose consciousness completely.
After half an incense stick, the confining formation in Lian Ri's new room was forcefully broken. Elder Yue walked in with Number One and Number Two.
"Elder Yue!"
Ripples stood up and bowed.
"Didn't we already gain Wenjiazhuang's trust How come I'm trapped here"
"It was my oversight, luckily Elder Yue arrived just in time."
The ripples quickly acknowledged their mistake.
After all, you're an outsider. It's natural for them to be wary of you. Don't waste any time, just lead the way!
Elder Yue was preoccupied with the jade, so he didn't give Lian Yi any time to speak.
"Yes, Elder Yue, please follow me."
Lian Yi threw away the red bridal veil in her hand, charging ahead with Elder Yue and two other companions straight towards the back mountain forbidden zone of Wenjia Fort.
All along the way, one could hear the sounds of charging and formations shattering, but none of this affected Ripples's speed.
She seemed very familiar with the path to the back mountain forbidden zone. After skillfully avoiding the formations, she finally reached the entrance of the back mountain forbidden zone.
"Elder Yue, it will be very dangerous once we enter. There are interlocking arrays inside. You must follow my footsteps closely."
Ripple said solemnly.
"Lead the way."
Elder Yue spoke directly.
The ripples drew out a token inscribed with the character “Wen” from her sleeve and inserted it into the recess of the stone wall beside the entrance. As the token was inserted, the cave door slowly opened.
Ripples took a step into the depths, her figure flickering, vanishing instantly into the darkness.
Elder Yue followed closely behind, but halfway through, the number one and number two who were following him disappeared.
Elder Yue frowned, seeing the ripples about to disappear. He immediately followed them, and when he stepped out of the passage, he found himself facing the ripples ahead. He then saw two elders from Wenjia Fort.
"Hmph! The rat in the drain has finally shown its face!"young man and asked.A moment of awkwardness flashed across Zeng Tao's face, and he could only twitch the corners of his mouth to explain:"My mom didn't mean to, she doesn't know who told her lies.""Wh...
