Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 764: I know!

Chapter 764: I know!

"Have you heard? Sect Master Qingran has found her Dao Companion!"

"Oh my heavens! I only went into seclusion for a short while and such explosive news has already broken?"

"There's something even more explosive! Do you know who the Sect Master's Dao Companion is?"

"Who? Hurry up and tell me!"

"It's our ancestor!!!"

"...My dear mother!"

*Slap—!*

"Why did you hit me?"

...

Similar scenes played out in the cave dwellings of various Moon Shadow Sect disciples, but the disciples actually accepted this point quite quickly.

They even felt it was somewhat... only natural.

Wasn't it, though?

No wonder the Sect Master always maintained such an aloof attitude towards any suitor in the past.

With someone like the ancestor as her Dao Companion, who else could she possibly take a liking to?

And only someone of the ancestor's caliber is truly worthy of matching the Sect Master.

If it were anyone else, they'd all feel that person was unworthy of the Sect Master, and it would make them feel uncomfortable all over.

Now, knowing the Sect Master's Dao Companion was actually the ancestor, after a brief moment of stunned disbelief, they all felt completely at ease.

This is how it should be!

This is exactly as it should be!

...

Once they accepted this point, everything fell into place logically.

With Chen Huaian's order, the entire Moon Shadow Sect began operating like a massive, well-oiled machine.

Red silk ribbons adorned every pavilion and tower, glowing talismans bearing the character for "double happiness" were pasted everywhere, and even the Mountain Protection Array was adjusted to radiate a dazzling, ten-thousand-zhang sunset glow, painting the horizon a deep crimson—all to emphasize the celebratory atmosphere. The various elders each took on their duties, some arranging decorations, others preparing materials, each one so busy they could barely catch their breath.

Zhang Mengchu, confident in his extensive experience with handling weddings and funerals, directed disciples all over the mountain.

"Over there! That thousand-year-old ancient pine, yes! Wrap the red silk ribbon around it, make the knot look festive!"

"Move all the spirit fruits and immortal wine from the storage! Today, there will be plenty for everyone!"

"Dye Daha's fur red. Black and white are inauspicious. What? He won't allow it? Then beat him up, beat him until he begs you to dye it!"

Su Qinian vetoed Zhang Mengchu's proposal to fill the place with large red peonies, replacing them with Moon Shadow Veil and Starlight Orchids.

What era is this, anyway?

No, it should be said, we're not even in the mortal realm anymore, yet you're still using such tacky, rustic celebration props.

Doesn't the Moon Shadow Veil, woven like vines of moonlight, look beautiful?

And the Starlight Orchids, though only first-grade spiritual herbs, when planted in large patches at the wedding venue, look like stars blooming across the grass. Isn't that pleasing to the eye?

Zhang Mengchu was still unconvinced.

Su Qinian shut him up with one sentence: "If it weren't for the ancestor taking pity on you and finding you two beautiful disciples, with your terrible taste, you'd still be a lonely old bachelor! Although this old man's strength may not match yours, all seventeen or eighteen of this old man's Dao Companions were found by myself."

Zhang Mengchu fell silent, directly retreating into self-imposed isolation.

The subsequent ceremonial procedures naturally also fell into Su Qinian's hands.

Li Ziping worked silently, leading the Formation Court disciples in diligent labor.

Within a single day, he actually managed to set up an extremely complex "Unified Heart Sun-Moon Formation" on the main peak's plaza.

When the great formation activated, one could see the sun and moon shining together during the day, and at night, stars would encircle the area.

Paired with Su Qinian's Moon Shadow Veil and Starlight Orchids, the scene became a dazzling, flowing spectacle of light and color, breathtakingly beautiful.

The Lingxi Valley disciples almost wanted to move their entire sect right on top of this formation.

Even Lin Fan found something he should do—he ran to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, slaughtered a whole circle of demon beasts, prepared thousands of ingredients for the wedding feast, and even crafted the demon beast skeletons into various handicrafts and dinnerware. Not only did this satisfy the banquet's food requirements, but it also provided authentic, rustic serving plates. It really couldn't be more thoughtful.

The entire Moon Shadow Sect, from top to bottom, was so busy their feet barely touched the ground, yet everyone wore smiles on their faces.

Hosting a wedding for the ancestor and the Sect Master—this was a sky-high joyous occasion.

Meanwhile, the two protagonists at the center of it all, surrounded by everyone, found themselves with unexpected leisure.

...

The day of the grand wedding arrived.

Li Qingran was ushered into her cave dwelling early by the female disciples to dress and prepare.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror, clad in a magnificent, grand red wedding dress, her cloud-like hair piled high, adorned with pearls and jade. Her stunningly beautiful face was tinged with a shy blush, adding a breathtaking, captivating allure beyond her usual appearance.

Nervously twisting her fingers, she asked softly the women beside her, Yue Qianchi and Mo Shumei, "Shumei, Senior Sister... do I... look good like this? Will Master like it?"

Yue Qianchi looked at her appearance, feeling both gratified and amused, teasing, "Good! So good that even the fairies in the heavens would feel ashamed of themselves! If the ancestor doesn't like it, unless his eyes have been blinded by sword light!"

Li Qingran was teased into a giggle, her nervousness easing considerably.

Mo Shumei watched Li Qingran's blissful expression, her own feelings somewhat complicated.

She was the one who had deliberately spread the news about Li Qingran having a Dao Companion.

Sword Master Chen was immensely powerful, with unparalleled grace and appearance.

A great figure like him, what kind of woman couldn't he have?

If Li Qingran didn't act quickly, who knew if one day some vixen from who-knows-where might seduce Sword Master Chen away...

Not to mention Sword Master Chen frequently traveled between two worlds.

One could clearly sense that Sword Master Chen's returns to the Cangyun Realm were not as frequent as before.

How could this be allowed?

She didn't want to see Li Qingran suffer.

So she decided to go all the way and just expose it.

But now, with everything developing in the direction she had hoped to see, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sourness—a very strange sensation.

It was like marrying off a daughter.

However... the reluctance was only a tiny part.

Mostly, she was happy for Li Qingran.

After all, once the wedding was over, Li Qingran would have thoroughly found her home, and one could rest much easier in the future.

Only...

Mo Shumei gazed out the window at the beautiful mountain scenery of the Moon Shadow Sect, a trace of confusion surfacing in her eyes.

Where... was her own home?

Having stayed at the Moon Shadow Sect for so long, she seemed to have somewhat forgotten her original heart.

...

On the other side—

Chen Huaian had also changed into a solemn, black ceremonial robe trimmed with red. His white hair was meticulously tied up, further accentuating his handsome features and exceptional bearing.

However, though he appeared calm, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze kept drifting uncontrollably towards the side hall where Li Qingran was.

His fingertips also unconsciously rubbed together, betraying the turmoil within his heart.

Folks, it's my first time getting married.

Even as the Cangyun Realm's number one Sword Cultivator, he was still nervous!

And this matter had been announced to the world; all sects would come to witness the ceremony. If he did something embarrassing, wouldn't that shame his sweetheart disciple?

Zhang Mengchu sidled over, winking and making faces. "Ancestor, nervous?"

Chen Huaian cleared his throat lightly, putting on a stern face. "Nonsense. What kind of scene has This Venerable One not witnessed? A mere wedding..."

"Then, Ancestor, could you repeat the steps I just explained to you?"

Chen Huaian: "..."

What exactly had Zhang Mengchu and Su Qinian just told him?

He'd been too preoccupied with his nerves and hadn't paid attention at all.

Su Qinian, knowing the ancestor was too nervous to have listened, didn't expose him, just smiled while fanning himself. "Ancestor, when the bride comes out later, don't rush. Watch for my signal. I'll call out 'First bow to heaven and earth' first, then you bow."

Chen Huaian: "...This Venerable One knows!"
