The Beiji City is as lively as ever. However, the stronghold of the Beilong Hall is in a mess.
In the main hall, Yu Chi Feng is not sitting on the chair in the main seat, but standing on one side, leaving the chair empty.
The room is silent. At this moment, if a needle were to drop, it would probably be audible. After a long time, Qi Cheng stepped forward, his voice trembling as he said,
"Hall Master... Are you really going to... abdicate?"
Facing Qi Cheng's doubts, Yu Chi Feng nodded generously, "Exactly so."
Qi Cheng showed unwillingness, clenched his fists, and spoke again, "Clearly, you are in a strong position! Now, who in the martial arts world doesn't know the name of the Beilong Hall Master, but you want to abdicate at this time!"
"Hey." Seeing his emotional outburst, the people around him quickly reached out to stop him, "How can you speak to the Hall Master like that."
"But...! The Hall Master managed to escape death and come back..." Qi Cheng is usually carefree, but at this moment, his eyes are already filled with tears.
Yu Chi Feng gave a helpless smile. He walked forward and patted Qi Cheng on the shoulder.
"The position of the Beilong Hall Master is just a title. As long as it can bring peace to the martial arts world, it makes no difference whether it is me or someone else."
"But... This title is the result of all your efforts, Hall Master!"
"I just paved the way. As for the road ahead, it doesn't necessarily have to be me to walk it."
After hearing this, Qi Cheng was stunned. Yin Cang beside him seemed to have realized something and turned to look at Yu Chi Feng.
Qi Cheng looked at Yu Chi Feng in disbelief and said, "So... That's why you deliberately promoted Yin Cang?"
Yu Chi Feng shrugged and did not deny it.
At first, he just thought Yin Cang had a good idea. He was able to put aside past grievances and cooperate with Liudu City to find a way out for the Beilong Hall. He was a brave and careful talent. But when he really started to use him, he found that Yin Cang did not disappoint him. He was a good candidate to be the Hall Master.
In the past few months, Yu Chi Feng deliberately trained Yin Cang, waiting for this day to come. He would abdicate and let Yin Cang take over as the Beilong Hall Master.
Just like when he took over his master's position.
"How can I compare with the Hall Master." Yin Cang was a little flustered. He clenched his clothes with both hands, his eyes were frightened, but there was also a hint of light hidden in them.
"Relax. When I took over the Beilong Hall, I was just about your age." Yu Chi Feng smiled and then patted Yin Cang on the back, "I believe you are worthy of the title 'Beilong Hall Master'."
Yin Cang swallowed nervously, his hands trembling with tension, but his eyes were gradually filled with anticipation.
The people of the Beilong Hall looked at each other and did not say much.
Everyone couldn't help but recall that many years ago, they often discussed privately whether the next Hall Master would be Qi Cheng or He Qi. In terms of personality, the calm and steady He Qi was more suitable; but in terms of righteousness, Qi Cheng was the most benevolent and righteous person in the Beilong Hall.
But He Qi had a dark heart and rebelled, ending up dead. Qi Cheng's personality was too impulsive and difficult to take on the great responsibility. Now, Yin Cang combines the advantages of both and is valued by Yu Chi Feng. In the past few months, Yin Cang's ability has also been seen by everyone. This child is calm and rational, yet also values emotions and righteousness. He is indeed a promising candidate.
Everyone nodded and cast approving glances at Yin Cang.
Yu Chi Feng smiled with satisfaction, removed the waist plate with the words "Beilong Hall" written on it from his waist, and stuffed it into Yin Cang's hand.
"Well, this is great."
"Thank you, Hall Master, for your cultivation!"
"What are you saying! Now, you are the Beilong Hall Master. You must hold this plate well."
"Yes!"
-
The autumn is clear and crisp, and the wild geese fly far away.
Although it is autumn, the Liudu City is filled with blooming flowers.
The city is decorated with lanterns and colored banners, filled with laughter and joy, almost overflowing outside the city.
On the West Street, huge red flowers are hung all over the houses, and red petals are scattered freely. The fiery red wedding sedan chair passes through the street. There are colorful balls hanging from the four corners of the sedan chair, and the tassels sway, with a fragrance emanating from inside the sedan chair. The people on both sides of the sedan chair are blowing suonas and beating gongs, making it very lively.
Yu Ji, as one of the main characters of this grand event, took off his dress today and wore a fiery red robe. His long hair was tied up high, and he sat on a white horse decorated with red flowers. His face was filled with joy and smiles. The red robe made him look several years younger, as if he were a high-spirited young man, riding a white horse, dressed in rosy clouds, to pick up his sweetheart.
Although the Zhijin Workshop and the Baiyao Workshop are adjacent to each other, the wedding procession deliberately circled around the Liudu City. They walked from the West Street to the main gate, then from the East Street to the North Street, and even passed by the Feng Mansion before finally returning to the entrance of the Baiyao Workshop.
Tables and chairs have been set up at the entrance of the Baiyao Workshop, just waiting for the dishes and wine to be served.
At the front of the banquet, where the red carpet spreads, Feng Tingliu is also wearing a red dress, sitting on the chair at the top.
Feng Tingliu did not steal the limelight from the groom. Although he was wearing red, he did not wear any messy accessories, and there were no golden patterns embroidered on his red dress. He just wore a dark red gauze dress. His collar was slightly open, looking lazy as he leaned against the chair.
The carriage stopped, and Yu Ji dismounted, turned around, and walked towards the wedding sedan chair.
Someone lifted the curtain of the wedding sedan chair, revealing the bride inside, dressed in a fiery red wedding dress and wearing a red veil. The joyful smile on Yu Ji's face changed a bit. He seemed to realize belatedly that he was finally going to marry his sweetheart, inevitably showing a bit of shyness, like a young boy.
Yu Ji reached out his hand to his sweetheart. His slender fingers with a faint medicinal fragrance also made He Yuwei under the veil feel at ease. He Yuwei handed her hand to Yu Ji's palm.
"Slowly..." Yu Ji said softly, firmly holding He Yuwei's hand, and leading her slowly out of the wedding sedan chair.
The two held the two ends of the red flower and walked step by step along the red carpet.
Feng Tingliu's mouth curled up as he watched the talented and beautiful couple walk up to him, surrounded by cheers.
"The auspicious time has arrived -!" The man who served as the master of ceremonies used to sing in operas. This shout was so loud that it startled a flock of birds, causing the audience to laugh.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Yu Ji and He Yuwei were perhaps nervous, and their movements were slightly stiff as they bowed towards the southeast.
"Second bow to the Parents!"
Since the parents of the two are no longer alive, Feng Tingliu takes the place of the parents. The two turned around and bowed solemnly and earnestly to Feng Tingliu.
"Couple bow to each other!"
The two turned to face each other, and their faces couldn't help but turn red.
Amidst the cheers of the brothers around, the new couple bowed to each other.
"The ceremony is complete! Escort the bride to the bridal chamber!"
Amidst the crowd'sSurrounded, Yu Ji led the red flower in his hand and led He Yuwei to the east. At the same time, the sound of gongs and drums rang out again, and the banquet tables were filled with dishes, passing on the joy of the wedding.
Cups and goblets clinked, and Feng Tingliu also took advantage of the joyous occasion to have a small drink.
He did notIntegration the noisy banquet, but suddenly paused, looking across the street beyond the crowd.
It seemed that someone had come to the wedding banquet, but only stopped to look in Feng Tingliu's direction. The people were immersed in joy and naturally did not notice the sudden presence.
Feng Tingliu's mouth curled up slightly. Instead of immediately exposing the newcomer, he instead smoothly slipped two wine cups into his hand and carried an unopened jug of wine in the other hand, slowly leaving the wedding banquet.
He could sense the person following behind him, and the smile on his mouth deepened. Pretending not to care, he walked back to the Feng Mansion on his own.
He walked through the courtyard. The people in the mansion were all drinking and having fun at the banquet, making this place seem a bit deserted. Only Feng Tingliu's footsteps and the faint sounds of the person behind remained.
He walked into the main courtyard and came to the pavilion. He placed the wine cups and the jug on the table and casually sat on the stone bench. He looked out of the courtyard, and the person did not immediately show up. But the moonlight spilled, still exposing the person's shadow under the shade of the tree.
Feng Tingliu knew why he did not appear immediately.
I don't know since when, several maple trees have been planted among the willow trees in the main courtyard. Those maple trees are still slender, but now that the autumn wind blows, it also stirs up a layer of red waves. The maple trees and the willow trees are intertwined, and the moonlight spills through the gaps, also taking on a hint of red.
"What are you standing there for?" Feng Tingliu suddenly spoke, his tone not hiding his smile, "In such a beautiful scenery and under this wonderful moon, why don't you come and pour me a drink."
Only then did the figure outside the courtyard react. Yu Chi Feng slowly walked into the main courtyard, and the moonlight cast aLight glow on him.
Yu Chi Feng looked up and met Feng Tingliu's gaze, igniting that layer of moonlight.
" Young Master..." Yu Chi Feng's voice was hoarse. Perhaps it was the feeling of being close to home yet feeling timid. He seemed to be suppressing something and did not step forward.
Feng Tingliu supported his chin with one hand, raised an eyebrow, and beckoned to Yu Chi Feng with his hand.
At this moment, Yu Chi Feng's instincts overcame his reason. He did not dare to delay and quickly walked forward, standing beside Feng Tingliu. Yu Chi Feng opened the wine jug and filled the two wine cups with fine wine, allowing the moonlight to soak in it.
"Are you leaving again?" Feng Tingliu asked him.
"No. I'm no longer the Beilong Hall Master. Now I have nowhere to go. I can only beg Young Master to take me in." Yu Chi Feng said, his gaze burning as it landed on Feng Tingliu, just as he was attracted to the person in front of him when he first arrived in Liudu City.
It has to be said that even though Feng Tingliu's red dress is simple, it still sets off his otherworldlyTemperament. If it weren't for the need to pour wine for Feng Tingliu, Yu Chi Feng would probably have already knelt at Feng Tingliu's feet and touched the hem of that red dress.
Seeing his expression, Feng Tingliu's smile grew wider. He pointed to the stone bench beside him and asked Yu Chi Feng to sit down, then picked up a wine cup and gestured to Yu Chi Feng.
At this moment, Yu Chi Feng felt that even if Feng Tingliu had poisoned his wine cup, he would still drink the wine without hesitation.
But instead of poisoning him, Feng Tingliu extended the hand holding the wine cup, revealing a bright wrist under the red dress, and hooked his wrist.
Hands hooked, wine cups crossed.
They drank the wedding wine together.
The beauty showed a smile, luring the person in front of him to drink this cup of wine filled with countless words.
There is no need to say much. One look is enough to ignite this fragrant wine.
Before the wine cups were put down, a moist kiss came with the aroma of wine.
Lips and teeth intertwined, clothes scattered. The wine cup accidentally fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Supported by Yu Chi Feng's big hand, Feng Tingliu sat on the stone table. Yu Chi Feng's kiss followed closely again, entangling with him.
Feng Tingliuinitiative wrapped his arms around Yu Chi Feng's neck, closed his eyes, and endured the extremely passionate yet gentle kiss.
After the kiss, both of them were out of breath, their faces flushed and their eyes moist as they looked at each other.
Yu Chi Feng's eyes were filled with affection. He hugged Feng Tingliu's waist tightly and pressed closely against him. Looking at his Young Master, as handsome as ever under the moonlight, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm back."
Feng Tingliu licked his moist corner of the mouth and also showed a satisfied smile. He lifted his foot and hooked Yu Chi Feng's lower back, saying softly, "Now that you're back, you can't leave anymore."
Yu Chi Feng also chuckled, "I couldn't wish for more."
