Chapter 1338: Chapter 1342: The Frustration of the Newcor
However, Shen Du probably had no other choice, as there were so many direct disciples under his master’s ntorship, and with each generation ca extrely outstanding ones. If Shen Du had not made this decision, he would most likely have been neglected by his master, and even as a direct disciple, he wouldn’t have much of a future.
“Brother Shen Du has it tough, co on, let’s drink to all the frustrations under the heavens,” Zhu Minglang said.
There is no trouble that cannot be soothed with a bowl of good wine. Shen Du had resigned himself to his fate; his talk with Zhu Minglang was nothing more than venting and seeking solace.
“Actually, as you said, Li Ya treats quite well. Initially, I thought she had chosen because she had no better options, but later I found out she had taken an interest in long ago, always keeping an eye on . Once I beca a direct disciple, her family subtly inquired about her intentions, and she agreed imdiately after,” said Shen Du after drinking, his mood visibly improved.
“That’s great, that’s really good.”
“Having such a hearty conversation with junior brother is truly enjoyable. I regret not eting you sooner… Uh, junior brother, if you consider Shen Du a brother, could you do a favor?” Seeing that this junior disciple was a decent person, Shen Du lowered his voice.
“Brother Shen Du, just say the word. I consider myself a kind-hearted cultivator and I’ve always been happy to help others,” Zhu Minglang responded.
“I’m aware of what I desire and am willing to beco a son-in-law to the Immortal Clan, but this happened too abruptly. In Eternal God State, there is a woman who showed imnse kindness when I was still a mortal. Although nothing substantial happened between us, I suspect she has been waiting for a definitive answer from … It’s my fault for letting her down, so could I ask junior brother to send her an offering of my regrets? Tell her there’s no need to think of anymore. I shall find another way to repay her kindness,” Shen Du finally confessed.
A entrusted task.
To free soone far away from waiting any longer.
Zhu Minglang now understood where Shen Du’s marital entanglent truly lay.
“Brother, you’ve forgotten that I am now the direct disciple of the Weaver Star, and I have the authority of the Paired Immortals… What you are doing is right. If you are certain of this path, you can’t allow a fine lady to wait in vain. If you tell her sooner, it may also allow her to let go of her attachnt to you,” Zhu Minglang said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Du was montarily stunned.
After a while, he smiled wryly and said, “Actually, before discussing this with you, I had already written a letter. It contains what I’ve shared with you. I hope she understands that my wedding today is a matter of necessity, and I ask her to wait for for another five years, until I beco the Moon God…”
“So have you thought it through now?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“I’ve made up my mind. I know what I want, and doing this truly does injustice to both Li Ya and the woman who still has expectations of …” Shen Du nodded.
“Then tear up that letter and write a new one. I’ll take it to her,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Alright, after this talk with junior brother, I feel much more clear-headed. I was indeed confused at first,” Shen Du admitted.
As they spoke, Zhu Minglang and Shen Du made their way to the bridal chamber.
True to form, the bride’s close friends were still causing a ruckus. Seeing the groom arrive, they sward around him, humming and hawing, so demanding he drinks a penalty, others teasing, leaving Shen Du sowhat embarrassed.
“What are you all doing?” Shen Du inquired.
“We’re reading letters! Many friends who couldn’t make it sent their regards, and we’re going through them…” Li Ya explained.
Shen Du nodded, about to excuse himself to his study to look for that letter under other pretexts, but suddenly noticed that distinctive blue notepad also among the letters in the bride’s hands!
Shen Du’s face changed!
Hadn’t he instructed a servant to take good care of it and send it off the next day? How did it end up with the bride?
“Junior brother, junior brother,” Shen Du urgently gestured to Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang sensed sothing was off by his expression and imdiately understood the situation had changed. When he saw Shen Du shaking the blue teacup in front of him and then glancing towards those congratulatory notes, Zhu Minglang imdiately caught on!
It was that blue letter!
The one that should have been sent back to that girl in the Eternal God State.
Sohow, it had mistakenly shown up among these congratulatory notes…
This is serious trouble!!
If the bride were to read this blue letter aloud, no one knew how this wedding banquet would end!
“How many have you read so far, and how many are left?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“We’ve read twenty-three, and there are seven left,” Nie Qiqi answered.
“Since it’s about blessings for the couple, I should be the one to read it. My master is the Weaver Star Fairy…” Zhu Minglang imdiately said.
“That won’t do. There are so ssages from my close friends that are ant for my ears only, using language ant for the boudoir,” Li Ya imdiately shook her head in disapproval.
“Yes, even though you are a disciple of Weaver Star, you are still a man. How can you look at the private words of us won?” A woman from Lu Ling chid in.
“Let’s read the next one.”
“Sure, let’s.”
The won all valued these interesting entrusted words greatly, expressing their true feelings while recounting many past events and finally lanting they could not attend the wedding night…
Seeing that it was almost ti for the blue letter, Zhu Minglang quickly signaled Nie Qiqi with his eyes.
Nie Qiqi, quick-witted as she was, instantly caught on to Zhu Minglang’s intention.
She imdiately snatched the blue letter with a playful gesture from one of the bride’s friends and exclaid, “I’ll read this one, I’ll read this one…”
“Most of them use red or pink; why is this one blue? It must be from soone special,” that Lu Ling woman remarked.
At this, the bride Li Ya grew even more curious, her eyes fixed on Nie Qiqi, who had taken the letter, looking sowhat expectant.
anwhile, the groom Shen Du was already breaking out in a cold sweat, nervously watching Li Ya…
“Co on, read it!” the other girls urged imdiately.
Nie Qiqi’s expression as she looked over the lines of text clearly showed the content of the letter was highly problematic.
Just when Zhu Minglang feared this marriage was about to suffer a massive set back, Nie Qiqi suddenly beca so angry that she tore the blue letter into pieces on the spot!
Everyone stared at Nie Qiqi in surprise.
Nie Qiqi, still not satisfied, threw the torn pieces into the celebration fire and burnt them to ashes.
“Hmph, so lowly wench from who knows where actually wrote a letter insulting you. It’s filled with jealousy and spite—better to not read such things. Sister Li Ya, isn’t it true that many are envious of your family background, beauty, strength, and now this wonderful marriage?” Nie Qiqi said indignantly, then showed a hint of envy herself.
