Chapter 480: Resist and Be Subdued
"I don\'t know."
The Boundless Master frowned.
The Great Daoist Brush Master said, "That woman isn\'t simple at all, and I\'m also not in a good place to intervene too much. I can only create an opportunity for them. If it all works out, then great.
"If not, it\'s not exactly a bad thing for him. Regardless, I\'m just planting some good karma between them. The outcome depends on them."
The Boundless Master looked worried as he asked, "Aren\'t you afraid that he\'ll end up reaping bad karma?"
The Great Daoist Brush Master shook his head. "No."
"Why not?"
"Bad karma arises from malicious thoughts. Even though that brat is slightly perverted, he doesn\'t really have any malicious thoughts toward her. How could he reap bad karma, then?"
"How come that white-robed woman refused to attack him?"
"It\'s because she knows that she won\'t be able to kill him. Of course, she could try and force it, but she had to be prepared to die together with that brat.
"Furthermore, there\'s also no need for her to make a move, as the Universe Tribulation will erupt a hundred years later. The white-robed woman just had to wait a bit longer, that\'s all.
"Those impatient are the Time Reversers whose lifespan is running out. There\'s no way they\'ll wait for another hundred years. The white-robed woman\'s threat toward me proves that she\'s supporting those Time Reversers.
"The white-robed woman\'s goal is simple. If that brat calls for backup, his Dao will shatter. The True God doesn\'t have the luxury of time to wait for someone else walking on an Invincible Dao.
"In other words, the white-robed woman truly has the higher ground."
"Indeed, the situation is bad," the Boundless Master said softly, "From the information I\'ve received, there are two reasons why they haven\'t made a move just yet. The first reason is because you\'re here, but you can no longer intervene."
"The second reason is that they\'re waiting for something, right?" the Great Daoist Brush Master asked.
The Boundless Master nodded.
"What are they waiting for?" the Great Daoist Brush Master asked.
The Boundless Master answered, "They\'re waiting for the Diyi Clan!"
The Great Daoist Brush Master\'s pupils constricted, and he immediately started cursing, "Fuck, fuck, fuck! Quick, make a trip to the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe. Tell them to send reinforcements here!"
The Boundless Master frowned. "Are they strong?"
The Great Daoist Brush Master glared at the Boundless Master. "Can you not see how my legs are trembling right now?"
The Boundless Master realized that the Great Daoist Brush Master wasn\'t joking at all upon seeing the latter\'s grim face. Without hesitation, the Boundless Master disappeared into thin air.
The Great Daoist Brush Master looked up and stared into the depths of the starry sky with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"They\'re really going all-out..."
Meanwhile, Ye Guan had already changed into a bright red wedding robe embroidered with a nine-clawed golden dragon. The coiling dragon looked as if it were alive as it exuded a majestic and domineering aura, which made Ye Guan appear dignified.
Ye Guan was already extremely handsome, but the wedding robe made him appear even more handsome. Ye Guan even noted a few palace maids blushing and stealing glances at him.
Just then, a female official walked into the hall and rushed over to Ye Guan.
"Young Lord Ye, please head toward the Eternal Night Hall for the ceremony."
"All right," Ye Guan said, nodding.
Both parties had decided to skip many formalities. Otherwise, the wedding preparations alone would take at least three days and three nights. The formalities were skipped, so Ye Guan was going straight to the ceremony.
Ye Guan followed the female official to the Eternal Night Hall, and everyone\'s gaze landed on Ye Guan the moment he entered the hall.
The important officials of the empire had gathered in the Eternal Night Hall. Of course, the State Masters of the Eternal Night Empire\'s states had gathered as well. It could be said that every influential person throughout the empire was here, and they were all staring at Ye Guan.
There were curious, astonished, and malicious gazes. After all, the marriage was like a lightning bolt out of the blue, so these people were bound to be curious about it. In addition, there was supposed to be an engagement ceremony, but the wedding actually went straight to the wedding ceremony, skipping all formalities.
Ye Guan ignored everyone and looked straight ahead at Ye Nanqing. She was wearing a phoenix crown, and a red veil obscured her face.
Ye Guan walked up to her side.
A female official exclaimed, "The first bow!"
Ye Guan and Ye Nanqing were about to make the first bow when an old man suddenly walked in from the right and shouted, "Wait!"
Everyone turned to look at the old man.
Ye Jun sitting on the dragon throne frowned.
The old man was the leader of the Eternal Night City\'s Eternal Clan, Ye Gu. He had decided to intervene, as he didn\'t wish to see a marriage alliance between the Eternal Night Clan and the Guanxuan Universe.
The alliance between the two powers was bound to be formidable, and if they succeeded, the Eternal Clan\'s status in the Eternal Night Empire would plummet even more.
Ye Gu had never been the type to make a scene; he wouldn\'t have dared to make a scene if it hadn\'t been for the support of many major clans. Those powerful organizations thought the same as Ye Gu; they didn\'t want the Eternal Night Clan to monopolize the empire.
Ye Gu bowed slightly toward Ye Jun and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that this marriage is not conducted in accordance with proper protocol."
Ye Jun remained calm. "Proper protocol?"
Ye Gu nodded and explained, " Yes. Nanqing is a princess of our Eternal Night Empire, so I don\'t think it\'s appropriate for us to treat her marriage so casually. The proper protocol is that the two parties should get engaged first, and then their engagement would be announced to the citizens.
"Afterward, an auspicious day will be selected for their wedding ceremony.
"However, we skipped all of that, and I noticed the spread of rumors about how our Eternal Night Empire is afraid that Princess Nanqing might end up being unable to marry anyone, so Your Majesty hurriedly arranged a marriage for her."
The crowd whispered among themselves, echoing the same sentiment.
Ye Jun stared silently at Ye Gu. Ye Jun knew that the marriage hadn\'t followed the proper protocol, but he had no choice. Complications would arise if they couldn\'t settle this marriage as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, Princess Nanqing\'s marriage is not just a private affair, as it concerns the reputation of our Eternal Night Empire. I believe it shouldn\'t have been handled so hastily.
"Furthermore, we haven\'t seen any sincerity from the Guanxuan Universe. We also know nothing about Young Lord Ye. With such haste, those who are unaware might think that the Princess of our Eternal Night Empire is unwanted" Ye Gu trailed off.
Ye Jun frowned and went silent. He couldn\'t refute it at all. To make matters worse, Ye Jun also noticed the heads of the major clans and noble families standing behind Ye Gu.
The festive atmosphere in the hall became solemn and suffocating.
Ye Jun looked at Ye Guan, who smiled slightly at him, showing him that he was feeling at ease. Ye Jun felt reassured at the sight.
As expected, a middle-aged man walked into the hall just then. The middle-aged man was none other than the Great Daoist Brush Master, and his appearance elicited frowns from many people; they couldn\'t recognize him.
The Great Daoist Brush Master walked up to Ye Gu and asked, "Are you Ye Gu?"
Ye Gu frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The Great Daoist Brush Master raised his hand and pressed it down.
Thud!
A dull thud echoed as Ye Gu fell to his knees.
The faces of the people in the hall changed drastically, and several auras came to life, sweeping toward the Great Daoist Brush Master. The Great Daoist Brush Master waved his sleeve, and those auras vanished into thin air.
The scene stupefied everyone in the hall.
Ye Jun suddenly shouted, "Everyone, calm down! This esteemed senior is the Great Daoist Brush Master!"
The Great Daoist Brush Master! Everyone reeled in shock. The people here were the leaders of their own clans, organizations, or families, so they knew the Great Daoist Brush Master. The Eternal Night Empire was founded, all thanks to the Great Daoist Brush Master.
He was still alive after so many years?
The Great Daoist Brush Master swept his gaze across everyone in the hall. "Does anyone have any issues with this marriage? Come out, and we can discuss it!"
Everyone glanced at Ye Gu kneeling on the ground, and they dared not speak.
Under the veil, Ye Nanqing stared quietly at the Great Daoist Brush Master. Sensing Ye Nanqing\'s gaze on him, the Great Daoist Brush Master\'s eyelids twitched, and he felt a bit uneasy. He hurriedly walked to the sidelines and exclaimed, "The ceremony shall continue!"
The female official quickly exclaimed, "The first bow!"
Starting from the first bow, all three bows were completed in the blink of an eye.
The female official finally exclaimed, "To the bridal chambers!"
Everyone watched as Ye Guan led Ye Nanqing into the inner hall. Once they were gone, the Great Daoist Brush Master swept his gaze across everyone once again and said blandly, "If there are any objections here, step forward, and we can talk about it while taking a stroll."
Everyone had no idea what to say.
Ye Jun shook his head and smiled wryly. The Great Daoist Brush Master was the main reason he had agreed to Ye Guan\'s request to marry Ye Nanqing. The Great Daoist Brush Master was just too strong!
Furthermore, Ye Jun couldn\'t even call his ancestors for backup, as the founding ancestors were friends with the Great Daoist Brush Master. If he were to summon them, he might get beaten up instead.
The Great Daoist Brush Master stared coldly at everyone without saying anything. Of course, he wasn\'t going to try and use words to reason with anyone in this hall.
These people were short-sighted and would only fight for their vested interests, but it made sense, as they were the leaders of their own clans, families, and organizations, after all. It was inevitable for them to prioritize immediate interests rather than long-term gain.
However, that was exactly the reason why the Great Daoist Brush Master believed that it was useless to try and reason with them. In the end, he decided to use the stick rather than feed them carrots; he\'d resort to force if they refused to comply.
Ye Nanqing sat quietly on a bed inside a room in the inner hall, waiting for Ye Guan to lift her red veil.
Ye Guan walked up to Ye Nanqing and lifted her red veil slowly to reveal her beautiful visage.
Ye Nanqing stared silently at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled and praised, "You\'re so beautiful."
"Really?" Ye Nanqing asked.
Ye Guan nodded.
"What are we going to do next?"
Ye Guan blinked and said, "We\'re going to the bridal chambers."
"All right," Ye Nanqing replied casually.
Ye Guan was slightly taken aback.
"What are you waiting for?" Ye Nanqing asked, sounding cheeky as she added, "Let\'s go."
Are women bolder than men nowadays? Ye Guan was speechless. Then, he shook his head and smiled before grabbing her hand, forcing her to stay in place.
A hint of coldness flashed across Ye Nanqing\'s eyes.
"Lady Nanqing, my blood is special, and it should be helpful to you. As for whether it can help you break the shackles of your own bloodline or not I can\'t say for sure, as it all depends on you."
Ye Guan sliced their wrists open, and blood gushed out of Ye Guan\'s wrist.
Ye Nanqing watched with a stunned gaze as Ye Guan\'s blood melted into her wound.
