Chu Tianchen has been running the Hongmeng Creation Technique, devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with all his strength.
He knew that the spiritual energy recovery would last for seven or eight days.
He could not leave the Wuji Palace until the spiritual energy recovery was over, so he could only practice with peace of mind.
But since last night, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth he absorbed has become increasingly thinner.
Until just now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has basically returned to normal levels.
The efficiency with which he devoured spiritual energy was no different from usual.
This made him very confused. Did the spiritual energy recovery end so quickly? Could there be any problem?
Full of doubts, Chu Tianchen ended his training and prepared to investigate.
As a result, as soon as his spiritual consciousness spread, he saw Feng Nishang and three maids standing at the gate of the side courtyard.
Moreover, Feng Nishang also wore a phoenix crown and harem, dressing up very solemnly and formally.
What's even more strange is that Feng Nishang stood at the gate for a moment and then left without saying a word.
Chu Tianchen was a little confused, so he got up and left the room, wanting to find Feng Nishang and ask what was going on.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw two guards guarding the door.
Moreover, many red lanterns were hung in the corridor of the side courtyard, and red silk and red flowers were hung on door frames and beams everywhere, creating a festive scene.
"Why are there lights and colorful decorations in this courtyard? Is there some happy event?"
Chu Tianchen pointed to the lanterns and red silk and asked the two guards.
The two guards quickly bowed and saluted, and answered with a smile.
"I have met Mr. Chu. There is indeed a great event today."
"Greetings to Mr. Chu, today is the wedding day for our young palace master and young master Xuanyuan!"
When he suddenly heard the news, Chu Tianchen's eyes suddenly widened with an expression of disbelief.
"What? Junior Sister Nishang is getting engaged to Xuanyuan Qing, today?"
Chu Tianchen couldn't believe that the news was true.
Although, he knew that Xuanyuan Qing was interested in Feng Nishang when he was in Fengqishan.
But Feng Nishang was not interested in Xuanyuan Qing at all, and her attitude was very cold.
It was hard for him to believe that with Feng Nishang's character, she would marry Xuanyuan Qing, unless...
Chu Tianchen suddenly thought of a possibility, and a light flashed in his eyes.
“Unless it’s a marriage between Wuji Palace and Xuanyuan Family!
In order to consolidate its power, Wuji Palace did not hesitate to marry Feng Nishang to Xuanyuan Qing to gain the support of the Xuanyuan family.
Even if Feng Nishang doesn't want to, once Senior Feng and Aunt Feng make a decision, she will have no room to resist or refuse!"
Thinking of this, Chu Tianchen finally came to a realization.
No wonder that that night, Feng Nishang was alone, lamenting to the moon, looking quite lonely and heavy.
Before parting, Feng Nishang said some slightly strange words to him.
No wonder Feng Nishang was still standing at the gate of the side courtyard today wearing a phoenix crown and harem, looking very hesitant and helpless.
No matter how slow Chu Tianchen was, recalling these things, he understood Feng Nishang's mood and wishes.
"She definitely doesn't want to marry Xuanyuan Qing, but she can't disobey her grandmother and mother's orders, so she's so helpless!
And she obviously didn’t take what I said to Feng Ningsu to heart, and still wants to force Feng Nishang to marry into the Xuanyuan family!"
With this thought flashing through his mind, Chu Tianchen felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart, and his eyes became firm.
He stared at one of the guards and asked in a deep voice: "The people from the Xuanyuan Family have arrived? Where are they?"
The guard answered truthfully: "The people from the Xuanyuan family have arrived a long time ago, and they are all in the reception hall..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Tianchen turned around and left, quickly rushing to the reception hall.
The guard swallowed back the second half of the sentence, looked at Chu Tianchen's back disappearing at the gate, and joked with a chuckle: "Why is Mr. Chu so anxious? Are you rushing to have a wedding banquet?"
The luncheon won’t start until half an hour!”
The other guard also smiled and discussed a few words.
…
There was silence in the reception hall, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Everyone looked at Feng Nishang with expressions of doubt and confusion, and even started talking over the phone.
"What's going on, Young Palace Master? You don't seem to be very happy and don't want to sign the engagement?"
"It's not just that she's unwilling. Look at her staring blankly at the gate, as if she's waiting for something."
"That's strange! Isn't it a great joy for Feng Nishang to marry our young master? Why does she look so reluctant?"
"It is in vain that our young master is so devoted to her, but she is so arrogant and staring at the door, waiting for someone...it is so abominable!"
People in Wuji Palace and Xuanyuan Family were discussing secretly, and no one knew what Feng Nishang was thinking or waiting for.
In fact, Feng Nishang was counting dozens of times in her heart with the last trace of expectation and reluctance.
When ten breaths are up, she can completely give up her fantasy and choose to accept her fate.
As time passed by, she had silently counted to ten, but the gate was still empty, and Chu Tianchen did not appear.
The light and hope in Feng Nishang's eyes gradually extinguished.
She turned around expressionlessly, picked up the gold pen on the desk, and looked down at the red and gold engagement letter.
Just when she slowly raised the gold pen and lowered her head to sign her name.
A powerful shout suddenly came from outside the gate.
"Wait a minute!"
This was the voice of a young man, and his tone was a little urgent.
Suddenly hearing this voice, Feng Nishang froze on the spot as if struck by thunder.
Her eyes lit up again and she was filled with hope.
Even an expression of relief flashed across his usually indifferent cheeks, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile.
She slowly turned around and looked at the door, and sure enough she saw a handsome and powerful young man in white robes, coming in the wind and rushing into the hall with an anxious expression.
At this moment, she only had eyes for the boy in white robes, and only one thought in her mind.
"He finally understood! He came anyway! This must be God's will!"
At the same time, Feng Qingfang and Feng Ningsu frowned when they saw the white-robed boy appearing, their expressions becoming complicated.
Although the mother and daughter had discussed it before and predicted that this outcome might occur.
But when it happened, they were still surprised. They didn't know whether they were happy or sad for a moment.
The people in Wuji Palace and Xuanyuan Family all looked at the white-robed boy with doubts on their faces, not knowing what he wanted to do.
When Xuanyuan Zhengyang and Xuanyuan Qing saw clearly the appearance of the boy in white robe, their faces were filled with astonishment and expressions of disbelief.
"Chu Tianchen? Why are you in Wuji Palace?"
Xuanyuan Zhengyang's face darkened and he asked with a majestic tone.
Xuanyuan Qing was even more angry, staring at Chu Tianchen with cold eyes, and asked: "Chu Tianchen! What do you want to do?
Today is the wedding day between this young master and Ni Chang, if you dare to do anything wrong, this young master will never let you go!"
Ever since the battle at Fengqishan, he had developed an insatiable feud with Chu Tianchen and vowed to take revenge.
Now, Feng Nishang was about to sign a marriage contract with him, but Chu Tianchen stepped in and had bad intentions. How could he not be angry?
However, Chu Tianchen ignored everyone's complicated looks and flew into the hall with a calm expression, landing next to Feng Nishang.
He bowed to Feng Qingfang and Feng Ningsu, and said apologetically: "Senior Feng, Aunt Feng, and this junior have no intention of offending Wuji Palace.
I just hope that the two seniors can give me a moment. I have a few words to ask Junior Sister Nishang."
Feng Qingfang's face did not change and she remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Feng Ningsu nodded and said nothing.
After Chu Tianchen thanked him, he turned around and stared at Feng Nishang, and asked in a solemn tone: "Junior Sister Nishang, that night you asked me whether I should compromise in order to save my life, or should I cherish every day of my life and do what I want to do.
matter.
I didn't quite understand what you meant at that time, but now I understand.
Before you sign the engagement, I want to ask you one last time.
Have you really thought it through and made a decision?"
Feng Nishang also stared at him, spread her hand and put down the gold pen, and said firmly: "Senior Brother Chu, in fact, I have already thought about it clearly before this.
It's just that I never understood and wasn't sure about your intentions, so I was hesitant.
Now, since you appear here, you must have understood what I mean.
I have made the final decision, will you... accept it?"
Although Feng Nishang did not fully explain it out of shyness.
But everyone understood what she meant.
For a moment, the faces of the Xuanyuan family members changed drastically, and they all showed expressions of shock and disbelief.
"What's going on? That guy named Chu Tianchen is actually in love with Feng Nishang?"
"They not only flirted with each other, but also had private meetings late at night?"
"Damn it! As the Young Palace Master of Wuji Palace, she is destined to marry our Young Master Xuanyuan, but she is actually having a secret affair with another man?"
Hearing the exclamations of several elders and deacons of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Qing's face turned green with anger.
He glared at Feng Nishang and Chu Tianchen, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do in public?"
However, both Chu Tianchen and Feng Nishang ignored him, only looking at each other.
Chu Tianchen showed an apology to Feng Nishang and explained: "Junior Sister Nishang, actually, Senior Li has entrusted you to me when we were in Yuxiao Sect.
He and my grandfather had already reached a consensus, and from that moment on, I knew that the outcome between us was already doomed.
It's just that like you, I instinctively resist the arrangements of my elders, so I keep avoiding them and don't want to face them.
At the same time, I am also worried that the time we have known each other is too short and we do not understand each other well enough.
Senior Li's forced matchmaking is unfair to you.
Fortunately, through these days of contact and understanding, you are not disgusted with me.
I'm sorry that my previous resistance and avoidance caused trouble to you and almost made you choose to obey orders.
However, from now on, both of us can face each other calmly and there is no need to avoid it anymore.
I will follow Senior Li's instructions, take care of you for the rest of your life, and always protect you."
Chu Tianchen's words not only untied his own knot, but also made Feng Nishang dispel her worries.
Especially, Chu Tianchen's confession and promise to her in front of everyone made her heart beat faster and her pretty face blushed.
At this time, Chu Tianchen bowed to Feng Qingfang and Feng Ningsu again, and said in a solemn tone: "Senior Feng, Aunt Feng, I'm sorry, I am opposed to this marriage!"
