Master is tempting, come to my disciple's arms

Chapter 31 Is there something in the wine?

There is a different world on the top of the peak. What comes into view is a huge square. In the center of the square is a high platform where disciples gather to listen to lectures. The ground is paved with white marble. Passing through the square and the high platform, what comes into view is a spiritual bridge condensed by fairy magic. This bridge has no base or piers, and it rises from the ground.

At the end of Ling Bridge, pavilions with layers of buildings appear before your eyes. The main hall in the center is magnificent and decorated with many red wedding objects. The sound of joyful drums resounds through the sky, and fairy birds and cranes dance gracefully.

The main hall in the center of the peak is now filled with hundreds of immortal sects from the world of cultivation, and all the sects have taken their seats.

The huge hall was already full of people. They sat down from left to right according to the ranking of the sects in the cultivation world. The cultivators wearing robes of various colors gave Bai Li the illusion that he was an emperor choosing a concubine. Xu Luoge led them to sit in the first seat on the left.

The disciples of Jiyue Mountain took their seats behind their respective masters, while other disciples who were not led by a master were sent by Xu Luoge to Su Ziwei.

What made Bai Li feel a little strange was that the wedding ceremony was not held at dusk. Perhaps the marriage customs in the mortal world and the cultivation world were different.

There were four small plates of cold dishes, four small plates of hot dishes, and a pot of fine wine on the table. The hot dishes were mainly meat dishes, and the cold dishes were mainly vegetarian dishes. The portions were not large, but they were all cultivators, so they just wanted to satisfy their appetites a little. Bai Li looked at the dishes that did not have a single bit of spiciness or appetizers, and instantly felt that he had no appetite. As a person who could eat the spiciest food in his previous life, how could he eat without chili peppers?

The auspicious time has arrived! The newlyweds are entering the palace!

A deep and loud voice sounded. The monk's five senses were extremely sharp, and he could hear it clearly even in a crowded and noisy hall.

Everyone turned their heads to look outside the door, and saw a newlywed couple in wedding attire slowly appearing in everyone's sight. When they got closer, Bai Li realized that it was two men getting married.

The head brother didn't say that two men were getting married? Or did I not listen carefully at all...

Both of them were wearing bright red cross-collared wedding robes with dragons and phoenixes embroidered all over them from shoulders to hem. One of them wore a purple gold crown inlaid with gems, and the other wore a small silver crown inlaid with jade. They both had wide brocade belts of the same color with auspicious clouds around their waists.

Wei Cheng, the great elder of Yuxu Sect, sat in the main seat, looking at the newlyweds with hands clasped in front of him with a smile. The groom was naturally his direct disciple Zhou Ming, and the bride was Baili Qi, the son of the former sect leader.

Marriage in the world of cultivation is very different from that in the mortal world. The first step is to sign a Taoist couple agreement, the second step is to make a Taoist couple seal, and the third step is for the couple to bow to each other.

The thin red paper floated in front of the newlyweds. It was said to be a book, but in fact it was just a piece of paper with a red background and gold characters. They each took a drop of blood from their fingertips, and the two drops of blood fell on the thin paper and were completely absorbed. The next second, a soft red light emanated from the paper, and the two names appeared on the paper.

After completing the first step, Zhou Ming and Baili Qi chanted something in their mouths, saying that they would take "I" as their bond and "blood" as their oath to carry each other's lives and stay together for life. At the same time, they made seals in their hands and injected their respective Taoist partner seals into each other's souls, thus completing the bond.

The last step is for the couple to bow to each other. They bend down and touch their foreheads lightly, and the wedding ceremony is successfully concluded.

The couple will marry in the new house.

When the people below saw that the ceremony was completed, they picked up their silver chopsticks and started eating the food.

Bai Li was stunned. It turned out that this is how marriage is done in the world of cultivation. It was truly an eye-opener.

Mo Qianyu thought it was too troublesome. Their demon clan did not have so many rules and regulations and fancy rituals. In the demon world, once you set your eyes on someone, you just have to snatch him (her) away and occupy that person's body and mind every day. However, if that person was Bai Li, he would rather go through the trouble.

It was also the first time for Chu Yunze to see someone else get married. For some reason, his eyes felt a little moist.

Xu Luoge picked up a piece of fish for Su Ziwei. The fish tasted delicious and there was not a single fish bone. Su Ziwei did not hesitate to put it into her mouth and started chewing it.

Bai Li had no appetite for these dishes as they tasted very light. He put down his chopsticks after taking two bites, picked up the wine jug on the table and was about to pour it into the glass. The dishes didn't suit his taste, but the wine should taste good.

Before the wine was poured out of the spout of the pot, he heard Mo Qianyu communicating with him in secret voice.

"Master, please don't drink this wine. There's something strange about it."

He had been observing Bai Li's little movements and secretly took note of his preference for spicy food.

Mo Qianyu smelled a hint of demonic energy in the wine, and this demonic energy was mixed in with the thick spiritual energy. Without concentrating one's spiritual sense, it was impossible to distinguish it.

He didn't know whether the wine was poisoned or contained a poisonous insect. He could only remind Bai Li not to drink it. In his opinion, this wine was not a good thing.

When Bai Li heard this, a puzzled look appeared on his face. He turned his head and quickly glanced at the other people around him, and found that some of them had already started drinking. If he rashly told everyone that there was something in the wine, no one would believe him because he had no evidence. Moreover, the wine was prepared by the people of Yuxu Sect. If they did not admit it, he would probably get into trouble and implicate everyone in Jiyue Mountain and offend other sects.

He asked Mo Qianyu to inform Chu Yunze and other disciples, while he told Xu Luoge and Su Ziwei about this matter. Fortunately, Xu Luoge, Su Ziwei and those disciples had just started eating and had only taken a few bites of the food without drinking a drop of wine.

They believed in what Bai Li said 100% and didn't doubt it at all or think too much about it.

I don’t know what the Yuxu Sect’s intention is. Why did they put something in the wine? Aren’t they afraid of offending other sects in the cultivation world?

Xu Luoge was talking to them in secret, and Su Ziwei was also completely confused and didn't understand why the Yuxu Sect did this.

Ye Lingzhi didn't drink either, but just kept eating the food on the plate, glancing at Xu Luoge and Su Ziwei from time to time.

The head of Sanqing Sect, Wu Zi, was so drunk that his face was as red as Guan Gong. The wine tasted good and nothing happened at first, but he didn't expect it to have such a strong aftereffect after drinking too much, which made him drunk all of a sudden. With his eyes blurred, he actually saw the pillars in the hall dancing in front of him.

"Hehe, this is interesting. The Yuxu Sect is different. Even the pillars can dance."

When the disciples behind him heard this, they knew that their leader was drunk and talking nonsense, so they quickly stuffed the food on the plate into his mouth, thus shutting up his talking nonsense.

Xu Luoge was a little full after eating, so he went out for a walk alone. As he had just arrived, he didn't know which direction to go. As he was hesitating, Baili Qi came to him.

"Master Xu, long time no see."

Xu Luoge didn't look at him, didn't even glance at him, just said "very good", and that was it.

Baili Qi didn't get angry when he saw that he didn't want to talk to anyone. He just kept talking about the past, not caring whether Xu Luoge wanted to listen or not.

"In the past, at Jiyue Mountain, you treated me the best. Although I did some wrong things at that time and hurt your feelings, I also had my own difficulties, but I just can't explain them to you."

The dusty past was like an opened wooden box, with fragmented memories coming flooding in. Xu Luoge closed his eyes slightly, his expression seemed a little painful. He didn't expect Baili Qi to be so shameless and have the nerve to mention the past.

The past is too hard to recall and there is no need to mention it anymore, not to mention that I have already forgotten it. Now that you have a Taoist partner, you should focus more on him or her!

He had nothing to say to such a person, so Xu Luoge turned and left. Baili Qi seemed to be torturing him on purpose, and his next words made him even more frightened.

Master Xu didn’t drink that wine?

"What do you mean? Did you poison the wine?"

Xu Luoge stared at Baili Qi with cold eyes, and his tone was somewhat harsh.

Baili Qi naturally would not admit it himself, he just stroked his hair and said slowly: "Haha, am I that kind of person in Sect Leader Xu's mind? There is nothing in the wine, you can drink it without worry."

Xu Luoge never thought that the person who used to be reluctant to hurt even an ant would become like this now.

It's hard to say whether I felt lost or disappointed. I thought I knew Baili Qi very well, but suddenly I found that I couldn't even guess what he was thinking.
