Chapter 92: Immortal Domain Wedding Banquet, Master-Disciple Romance

Great Elder Situ Qian's expression softened slightly after hearing Mu Tianhe's voice transmission, and he immediately returned to his drunken demeanor, stroking his beard and laughing heartily:

"Lin Fan, that is merely gossip in the Jianghu and cannot be taken seriously! If that girl, Xue Yan, didn't admire you, why would she have tagged along with us two old men on this trip? Given her personality, she would have vanished without a trace long ago!"

Once he said this, the crowd of Cultivators became even more excited and clamored loudly: "Right! Exactly, exactly, get married! Get married!"

The sound wave surged like a tide, reaching straight into the clouds, and the area outside the elegant pavilion remained unceasingly noisy, as if everyone was looking forward to the realization of this marriage.

Lin Fan's temple throbbed slightly, his heart filled with extreme helplessness.

Just as he was about to find another excuse to decline, Lin Chen said softly from the side: "You should agree. I can feel that Xue Yan truly likes you."

Lin Fan no longer had any reason to refuse, so he cupped his hands in a salute and said in a clear voice: "Since that is the case, this disciple will respectfully follow the orders of Master and Uncle Mu!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the venue erupted in cheers.

"Good!"

"Congratulations to the Palace Master!"

"A match made in heaven!"

Mu Xueyan's face flushed crimson, and she lowered her head shyly, yet she did not say a single word of objection.

Great Elder Situ Qian laughed with satisfaction: "Good! Since you have agreed, we shall drink the wedding wine today!"

The Canglan Great Hall was decorated with lanterns and streamers, red silk hung high, and patterns of golden Dragons and auspicious clouds were interwoven on the red carpet, enveloping the entire great hall in an atmosphere of celebration.

The Sect Masters of the Five Regions were all present, sitting in positions of honor dressed in their finest attire, with Cultivators from various Sects behind them, all gathered in one hall, creating a grand and solemn scene.

In the center of the great hall, Lin Fan wore a red wedding robe embroidered with golden Dragons, looking handsome, upright, and full of majesty. He turned his head slightly to look at Mu Xueyan beside him.

Mu Xueyan wore a Phoenix coronet and rosy cape, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, the hem of her skirt embroidered with auspicious Phoenix patterns. Her face carried a hint of shyness, yet it could not hide her moving beauty.

Her red lips beneath the light veil were slightly pursed, and complex emotions flickered in her beautiful eyes.

The ceremonial Elder stood on the high platform and loudly announced: "The auspicious time has arrived!"

The melodious tolling of bells resounded throughout the great hall, and the guests fell silent one after another, waiting with bated breath.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"

Lin Fan and Mu Xueyan stood side by side, slowly bowing to pay respects to Heaven and Earth.

"Bow to the Elders!"

The two turned around and bowed deeply to Great Elder Situ Qian and Mu Tianhe on the high seats. The two Elders were all smiles, nodding repeatedly.

"Bow to each other as husband and wife!"

Lin Fan and Mu Xueyan exchanged a glance; Mu Xueyan's face flushed even redder, but she still bowed gracefully.

There was a hint of complexity in Lin Fan's eyes, but he also solemnly completed this bow.

"The ceremony is complete!"

Applause erupted in the great hall, and the Cultivators of the Five Regions cheered in unison: "Congratulations to the Palace Master! Congratulations, congratulations!"

Great Elder Situ Qian laughed heartily: "Good! Tonight we shall not return until we are drunk!"

Banquet tables covered the entire square, and guests from various Sects toasted and drank, making for a lively scene.

Spiritual light scattered across the sky like stars descending, illuminating the entire Canglan Great Hall in a dreamlike manner.

Lin Fan and Mu Xueyan sat side by side in the main seats, looking at this grand scene, each lost in their own thoughts.

In the evening, the two were sent to their Immortal Cave. Mu Xueyan sat on the edge of the bed, draped in a bright red bridal veil, and said softly:

"Master! I know that I am not worthy of you; you only married me for the sake of the situation in the Canglan Immortal Domain. You do not need to lift this red bridal veil. After this night passes, I will still be your good disciple, and you will still be the Master I respect."

Lin Fan sat down beside her gently and asked, "Xue Yan, what exactly happened between you and Left Sword Envoy Yun Che? With your personality, you wouldn't have compromised and participated in this wedding."

Mu Xueyan recounted the matter of Left Sword Envoy Yun Che fooling around with Meng Li. The more she spoke, the sadder she became, until finally, she was basically sobbing as she spoke.

"Master, Left Sword Envoy Yun Che has no ability, and he has no family background, but I never looked down on him for these things. Even though Father kept telling me to cut off ties with him, I never backed down. But I never expected that he would actually do such a thing behind my back."

As Mu Xueyan spoke, she sobbed in sorrow. Lin Fan gently held her shoulders, letting her lean into his embrace, and asked softly.

"Xue Yan, if you still like Left Sword Envoy Yun Che, Master will make this decision for you and have Left Sword Envoy Yun Che captured and brought back, locked in a cellar day and night for you to torment as you please."

Mu Xueyan's body trembled. She looked up at Lin Fan, tears shimmering in her eyes, with a hint of disbelief: "Master… are you serious?"

Lin Fan chuckled softly and said tenderly: "When have I ever lied to you? If you still have him in your heart, no matter how terrible he is, I will make it so that he can only be yours."

Mu Xueyan lowered her head, tears sliding down silently, her voice trembling yet firm: "Master, there is no need. He is no longer worth it. I just… I just feel unwilling to accept it in my heart."

Lin Fan gently stroked her hair: "If you are unwilling to accept it, then say it out loud. You are not the type of girl to easily bow her head."

Mu Xueyan leaned into Lin Fan's embrace, feeling his warm arms, and the grievances she had been holding back finally burst forth completely:

"I thought I could hold on, but in the end, he betrayed me. And I was foolishly thinking about protecting the promises between us… Master, am I very stupid?"

Lin Fan comforted her softly: "You are not stupid at all. It's just that there is no need to waste your heart on someone who isn't worth it."

Mu Xueyan raised her teary eyes and suddenly asked: "Then what about you, Master? Are you also marrying me just for the sake of the situation?"

Lin Fan's eyes darkened slightly, but he said earnestly: "Xue Yan, the situation is indeed important, but I will not force myself. Since I have married you, naturally, I want you to be my woman."

Upon hearing this, a certain soft spot in Mu Xueyan's heart seemed to be gently touched. She bit her lip and whispered: "Master, actually… I also, really like you. It is true liking, not because of status, and not because of outside pressure."

Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment, then a smile curled at the corners of his lips: "Since that is the case, then tonight, you are no longer my disciple."

Mu Xueyan's face flushed crimson instantly, and she pushed Lin Fan gently: "Master, you are bullying me again! Then why don't you hurry and lift my red bridal veil."

Lin Fan held the red wedding rod and slowly lifted Mu Xueyan's veil.

As the veil fell, her pure, snow-like countenance was fully revealed, her face filled with shyness mixed with a hint of hope and unease, as if waiting for his response.

Their eyes met. Mu Xueyan bit her lip gently, as if summoning great courage, and slowly moved closer to Lin Fan.

Her breathing was slightly unstable, and the sound of her heartbeat seemed exceptionally clear in the silent Immortal Cave.

"Master…" she whispered, gently tiptoeing, and with a touch of shyness and bravery, she lightly kissed Lin Fan's lips.

Lin Fan did not refuse; instead, he raised his hand to encircle her slender waist. As their tongues intertwined, a sensation of cool, fragrant ice surged up.

In the flickering candlelight, their figures intertwined, and Lin Fan wantonly claimed her fragrance.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Mu Xueyan's face was crimson, her heartbeat like thunder, yet she still looked at Lin Fan firmly: "Master, from now on, I belong only to you."

The bed shook gently, and there seemed to be the sound of rustling robes and gasps.

A moment later, Mu Xueyan let out a shrill, piercing scream, "Ah, it hurts!"
