Chapter 480: Brother Calmly Faces The Danger

The festive red lanterns on the peaks of the Hundred Lotus Sect were the same as the previous day. The cheerful red and yellow colors were overflowing under the pavilions' eaves and brackets.

The guests merrily drank as the little kids played hide-and-seek in the courtyard happily. The games of throwing arrows in pots, board games, and drinking games made the squares ring with laughter.

"Self-draw! All the same color with two sticks!"

Pah---

Yun Xi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, slapped the mahjong cards on the table with force. She was so happy that she wanted to jump up. After playing mahjong with Xiao Yunluo and the others for two days, this was the first time she won all the same color.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunluo and Li Longling, who were sitting at the same table, also smiled lightly and let out a sigh of relief.

Yun Yiyi was not to be mentioned. She and Yun Xi were sisters, but Xiao Yunluo and Li Longling were not that close to her. They had been beating Yun Xi for the past two days, and they were a little sick of it. There were a few times when they wanted to deliberately feed Yun Xi a win, but Yun Xi waited to complete a winning hand at the beginning, and she could even hit three shots...

Xiao Yunluo and Li Longling hurriedly sent the money.

However, the next moment, Zhang Yihe, who was sitting next to Yun Xi with a smile on his face and tapping the wooden fish drum, took a look and said, "Third Miss, do you have an extra card?"

"Ah?"

Yun Xi glanced at her cards and bit her lips lightly, her face full of embarrassment, looking like she wanted to cry. Xiao Yunluo and Li Longling were even more embarrassed. They wanted to give her money but couldn't.

"Meow..."

Suddenly, the black cat that was lying on top of Li Longling's head, serving as her eyes, let out a mournful cry. It curled up and raised its paw to pat her forehead.

"Hmm? What's wrong..."

"...Meow."

The black cat's timid cry made Li Longling frown slightly. Holding the black cat, she stood up, went to the window, and looked out at the sky, only to see a dark cloud pressing down over the Hundred Lotus Sect's Heavenly Pavilion.

Xiao Yunluo saw her expression and also stood up and walked over.

"Miss Li, what's wrong..."

Halfway through her words, she looked up and saw the dark cloud. Recognizing the golden-dressed woman below the dark cloud and the totem of the Cold Country behind her, her eyes widened slowly. "Cold Country..."

A bad feeling arose in Yun Yiyi's heart when she heard this murmur. She looked at her father, who was drinking with Yun Jiujiu, and shouted, "Jiujiu, Dad, to the Heavenly Pavilion, hurry!!"

"Ah?!"

Yun Tianchong was startled. He turned to look out the window with everyone and inhaled sharply, but before he could say anything, he was set up by Yun Jiujiu and Yun Yiyi as a shield as they flew out the window with Xiao Yunluo, heading to the Heavenly Pavilion.

"Hey? Zhang Yihe!!"

"Third Miss, you'd better not go..."

... ...

Ye Anping, who had already seen Sun Juehu in the red maple forest of the Eastern Peak, also flew to the Heavenly Pavilion with Feng Yu Die.

Xiao Tian lay on top of his head, her left eye unable to open due to the sword wound. Seeing Sun Juehu already in front of the gate of the pavilion, she nervously grabbed Ye Anping's hair with her small hands.

"Anping, why is she here..."

"She's here to deliver a gift. Sister Feng, stand behind me, just stand still, don't do anything."

"Understood."

When the two of them landed in front of the Heavenly Pavilion, Ye Ao, Kong Yulan, Pei Lianxue, and Commander Fu Xuan, who were originally drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion, as well as many Nascent Soul Elders of the Justice Division, had also noticed the movement and walked out.

Ye Ao was ashamed at this moment. He had not heard Ye Anping say that Sun Juehu would also come, and he did not know what the connection between his son and Sun Juehu was. But seeing that she suppressed her Void Returning cultivation, he was a little relieved.

After all, as a Void Returning cultivator, if she came uninvited and did not suppress her cultivation, then she was most likely here to accuse something...

Ye Ao immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands. "I didn't know that the Empress of the Cold Country would visit our sect, so I didn't prepare a welcoming ceremony. Please forgive me."

"It's my fault for not informing you in advance, so you don't have to be so polite." Sun Juehu smiled kindly as she waved her hand. "It's just that I heard about Young Master Ye's wedding a few days ago, and since I happened to have some time, I came to see this young junior who is now famous in the four regions. Is it okay?"

"Of course it's okay... Your Majesty, please wait inside the pavilion, I will call Anping over now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Anping, who had just landed with the flying sword, walked from behind Sun Juehu, brought Feng Yu Die to a position ten feet to her side, and smiled. "Dad, there is no need to call me, I am already here."

Sun Juehu smiled and glanced at Feng Yu Die's silver hair, but soon shifted her eyes to Ye Anping's face, raised her eyebrows, and praised him. "You really live up to your reputation. It is said in the four regions that you are the most beautiful man in the Western Region~ This little face... so handsome."

Haven't you seen it already in Commander Xu Mulan's Mansion?

Ye Anping smiled apologetically. Seeing Pei Lianxue frowning beside Kong Yulan, he quickly put his hands behind his back to signal her not to do anything, and then bowed, smiling. "Indeed."

Sun Juehu didn't seem to expect that he would answer like this, and she smiled. "You are really straightforward... I like it."

As she spoke, many Hundred Lotus Sect guests seemed to have noticed the black cloud above the Heavenly Pavilion. They flew their swords from below, but after seeing that it was the Empress of the Cold Country, they all looked astonished and did not dare to land.

They had all heard about the grudge between Sun Juehu and Red Moon Matriarch.

Several sect leaders were taken aback for a moment and whispered to the people around them.

"What is she doing here? She and the Immortal Matriarch don't get along..."

"Don't talk too much, be careful not to be overheard."

Sun Juehu naturally guessed everyone's suspicions. Sweeping her gaze around, she saw Xiao Yunluo among them, narrowed her eyes, and smiled at her. "Young Miss Xiao is here too? Long time no see. When I saw you before, you were still a little kid."

"..."

Xiao Yunluo hugged her chest and nodded nervously, praying in her heart that her mother would come quickly.

Sun Juehu shook her head, then walked slowly to Ye Anping, put her hands on his shoulders, and amplified her voice with spiritual power. "The leaders and Elders of the Western Region immortal sects should have heard about the matter between me and Sister Red Moon. My father died because of her."

At this, everyone present almost felt their hearts stop and held their breath nervously.

Only Ye Anping remained calm and did not interrupt, letting her hold his shoulders.

When he was planning the affairs of the Bright Star Sect, he had already expected that Sun Juehu would take the first opportunity to gain the upper hand.

He just didn't know when she would choose to act.

Now he knew that his wedding was the time chosen by Sun Juehu.

Sun Juehu looked at everyone holding their breath, smiled sardonically, and said in a down-to-earth tone, "What are you thinking? You don't think I'm here to cause trouble, do you?"

Everyone present smiled awkwardly, but no one dared to laugh out loud.

"Relax, relax~"

Sun Juehu waved her hand at everyone. "Why would I disturb the wedding of this handsome Young Master Ye? Besides, my father's affair happened so many years ago, I have long forgotten the past grudge and moved on... It's a pity that Sister Red Moon is narrow-minded and has never liked me, so... "

Sun Juehu turned to face Ye Anping, then took out a red wooden box from the storage bag and handed it to him. "Mr. Ye, it's your wedding day, and I'm here to wish you good luck."

Ye Anping took the wooden box calmly and opened it to take a look.

A jade scepter inlaid with seven spiritual beads was lying quietly in the box; just a precious, beautiful item that could only be used as a decoration.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your blessing."

"You're welcome. Mr. Ye, next time you come to the Northern Region, you must visit my palace. I will personally entertain you."

"Maybe there will be a chance..."

"You are really steady. You are so close to me, but you are not afraid at all."

"Your Majesty is here to celebrate the wedding. What should I be afraid of?"

"It's good that you are not afraid." Sun Juehu patted and stroked his head. "When I came, I was afraid that you would be scared that I would disturb your marriage with Miss Pei."

"You are too considerate." Ye Anping smiled. "Your Majesty is here, so I will toast you a cup of wine."

With a wave, he took out two wine cups from the storage bag and handed them over. Sun Juehu naturally accepted them with pleasure.

The two of them clinked their glasses in public.

"Your Majesty, please..."

"Mr. Ye, please..."

Then, they raised their heads and drank, turning their cups upside down to show respect.

"I won't stay any longer. I wish Mr. Ye and Miss Pei a happy marriage."

"Thank you."

Sun Juehu smiled and looked up at the top of the Heavenly Pavilion. When she saw Si Xuanji standing barefoot on the roof, hugging her chest and looking at her with murderous eyes, she narrowed her eyes and smirked.

Then, she turned into a golden light and rose, wrapping the black cloud she brought with her and heading northeast.

After watching her go away, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he heard a "ding-ling-ling" sound. He looked up and found that Si Xuanji was already standing on the dome of the Heavenly Pavilion, guarding.

After meeting Ye Anping's gaze, Si Xuanji lowered her eyes slightly as if she was a little disappointed. She waved to him, then climbed into the pavilion through the top window.

Ye Anping understood that she wanted to talk to him, so he cupped his hands and faced the cultivators of the various sects who had rushed over on their swords. He broke the silence around the Heavenly Pavilion with his amplified voice.

"Sorry for disturbing everyone's banquet. The Hundred Lotus Sect disciples will deliver a century-old wine to you."

At this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to chat in a low voice. Most of them flew back to the courtyards on the mountainside of the Main Peak, ready to continue drinking and chatting.

"Even the Empress of the Cold Country is willing to acknowledge the Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect. This is incredible..."

"Before coming here, I thought that the Ye family of the Hundred Lotus Sect had just produced a good child, but after seeing this, I realized that he is simply unparalleled. Except for Mr. Qi and Mr. Liu of the Black Star Sect, no other sect cultivators in the Western Region have received the Sun clan's gift, right?"

"I heard from my kid that Mr. Qi seemed to have made a bet with someone, saying that if the Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect formed his Nascent Soul, he would wash his feet with his own hands."

"You are just kidding, right? But after all, it is Mr. Qi..."

"But then again, does the Empress's move mean that she wants to reconcile with the Matriarch Dan Yue?"

"I don't know... Now that Patriarch Zu Yuan has lost his cultivation, the immortals should unite to resist, not to mention that the Demon Clan is in the Central Region now, and who knows which side they are on..."

... ...

Ye Anping watched them leave and let out a long breath. Just as he prepared to go to the top floor of the Heavenly Pavilion to meet with Si Xuanji, he saw Feng Yu Die standing aside and staring at him blankly. He said, "Sister Feng, you should go play cards with Sister Xiao and the others."

"Oh..." Feng Yu Die wanted to say something but stopped and just smiled. "Okay!"

Xiao Tian, who had been above his head, hesitated, then she simply floated back to Feng Yu Die's shoulder and sat down on it.

After Ye Anping walked to the door of the pavilion, he bowed and looked at Ye Ao and Kong Yulan. "Dad, Mom... lend me the pavilion for an hour. Don't come in."

"Fine." Ye Ao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Son, what's the deal with the Empress?"

Ye Anping smiled at Commander Fu Xuan beside him before replying, "Dad, just think of it as giving me face."

Ye Ao rolled his eyes at him, but he understood that there was probably a big matter here. If his son didn't say it, then he'd better not ask. "Commander Fu Xuan, let's move to the side hall to have another cup? "

"Sure..."

Pei Lianxue saw her brother coming over, so she took his hand and asked, "Brother?..."

"It's okay." Ye Anping pinched her face. Seeing her worried look, he smiled. "I know what I'm doing."

"Well..."

"Go and pour wine for Dad and Mom. I will come to pick you up later."

Pei Lianxue froze with a faint blush on her cheeks. She nodded shyly. "Okay..."

"What are you shy about now?"

"Hehe..."

After Ye Anping entered the Heavenly Pavilion and closed the door, Pei Lianxue chased after Ye Ao, Kong Yulan, and the others.

As for Yun Yiyi and Yun Jiujiu, who were flying in the sky, they were relieved to see that nothing serious had happened, and they tacitly let go of their father's shoulders.

"Hey?!"

They had thought that if something happened, they would throw their father down to Ye Anping to use as a shield or distract the attention of the Empress, acting as a troublemaker and messing things up.

But fortunately, nothing serious happened.

Feng Yu Die flew up on her sword. "Sister Xiao, can I play cards with you guys? I promise not to..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yunluo was slightly dazed, as if she had just been distracted. She seemed to have vaguely heard the foot bell of her master, but she didn't see her. Noticing Ye Anping enter the pavilion, she frowned. "Second Idiot, you play with the Yun sisters and the others first, I'll come over later."

"Oh, okay! Hehe..."

Yun Yiyi, "Sister Xiao, is everything okay? "

"Yes, I'll be there in a while."

Yun Yiyi and Jiujiu didn't think much about it and flew down the mountain on their swords. Yun Tianchong chased after them with a depressed look on his face.

He was actually very scared just now...

Because of Immortal Yun Jian's past, the relationship between the Yun family and the Sun clan from the Northern Region was not very good...

After waiting for everyone to leave, Xiao Yunluo quietly flew on her sword to the roof, stepped to the wall, held her breath, and put her ear against the window, but she didn't hear any movement inside.

She hesitated, then called softly, "Master..."

Woosh---

The window was suddenly pushed open from the inside, hitting her face directly and almost knocking her off the eaves. Just when she was about to fall, Si Xuanji's little hand reached out from the window, grabbed her collar, pulled her in, and closed the window.

Snap---!
