The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 2162 - 2161: The Sect Hierarch Is Very Busy
The wedding banquet was over, and the scene was a mess of cups and plates.
Lin Yingying called for help to clean up everything here.
The temporarily constructed grand hall wasn’t dismantled; she decided to use it for future events on Jade Island.
There wasn’t much left of the banquet food; even the bone scraps were devoured.
These were dishes made with spices from the outside world, far tastier than the delicacies of this world.
Little Kirin and a few others sat at a table, their stomachs stuffed to the brim.
While everyone was cleaning up the tables, they were still secretly drinking.
Lin Yingying went over, tugged on their ears, confiscated the wine jars, and chased them away.
Three brothers, one sister.
Kirin, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird.
They had just been enjoying their drinks and were a bit unsatisfied at being chased off by Lin Yingying.
The wine was so good, they had never tasted it before.
Little Kirin, the cleverest, pulled out a jar of fine wine and smiled at his three siblings, "Don’t look so grim. I’ve secretly stashed a few jars of this decades-old brew in the storeroom. Let’s head to Silver Sand Island and find a spot to continue drinking. There aren’t many people there, so no one will notice us."
"Big brother, you’re so smart."
"Big brother, I love you to death."
"I love you too."
The three siblings cheered and followed him to Silver Sand Island for some peace and quiet.
After a lively night, the next day, Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya had not yet woken from their wedding night, but several groups had already come looking for him.
If it weren’t for Tai’en guarding outside with hundreds of hulking barbarian brothers, these people would have barged in and dragged Long Fei out.
The first was Xing Ming from the Holy Ruins. He had invested quite a bit in this fruit and fine wine, all because he hoped Long Fei could revive the Peach Tree.
Now that the wedding was over, he was worried Long Fei might forget the matter due to embarking on the Starry Ancient Path.
Since Long Fei hadn’t come out, the old man found a spot outside to sit.
The second group was the Divine Child from Barbarian King Star, Taida.
He had come this time to bring Tai’en back because Tai’en had killed the son of a tribal elder and was exiled.
Finally meeting this brother here, Taida hoped he would come back with him.
Chang Xi, who had a good relationship with him, was specially brought along to help plead his case.
The third group included the various Great Demons from Jingzhou Prefecture. At the banquet yesterday, they tried hard not to bring up the matter of redeeming Kong Qing.
Now that the wedding was over, they were eager for Long Fei to set out immediately, fearing something might happen to Kong Qing if they delayed.
Others wanted to journey with Long Fei, intending to discuss matters of the Starry Ancient Path with him.
Before, Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya had been together without any formal recognition.
Now, they could finally be open about their relationship, yet the time seemed insufficient.
Wang Xiaoya had pulled him up early, helped him dress, and with a radiant face said, "You better stop being lazy. If you don’t get out there soon, people will trample our door down."
Long Fei rubbed his head and said, "These people, they really know how to pick a time. We get married, and they get all jealous. They’re intentionally causing trouble, not letting people rest for a couple of days."
Wang Xiaoya giggled, "It’s good you’ll be busy, or I couldn’t take it. How much did you drink last night? You nearly wore me out."
"Did I?"
Long Fei coughed lightly, wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "How could I have forgotten?"
Wang Xiaoya laughed, quickly pushed him away, waved her hand at him, and said, "I’m going to pay my respects to Mother and Sister Lin. You carry on with your work."
She hurriedly fled from the room, afraid he’d grab her.
Long Fei shook his head with a smile, "Do I seem that scary?"
He sat in the living room, took a sip of tea, and asked the door guard Taida to invite everyone in.
Xing Ming entered first, anxiously cupped his fists to Long Fei and said, "Oh, my ancestor! You finally have time to talk."
Long Fei joked, "Why do I feel like someone’s chasing me for a debt? Even on my wedding night, there’s no peace?"
Xing Ming, feeling embarrassed, said, "It’s an urgent matter, and I ask Sect Leader Long to be understanding. You know our Holy Ruins is about to enter seclusion, just waiting for you to use your magic to save the Peach Tree. If Sect Leader Long has the time, I would request your visit!"
Long Fei nodded and told him, "You go back first, I’ll come over in three days. Don’t worry, if I’ve made a promise, I will keep it."
"Then it’s settled! The old man will be at the Holy Ruins waiting to welcome Sect Leader Long in three days."
Xing Ming was relieved, stood up, cupped his fists, and bid farewell to Long Fei.
After he left, Taida and Chang Xi came in.
Long Fei stood up to greet them, raising an eyebrow and said to the two, "Do you also have urgent matters for me?"
After they sat down, Taida cupped his hands and said directly, "Sect Leader Long, to be honest, I’ve come to bring Brother Tai’en back."
Long Fei poured tea for him and Chang Xi and asked, "Have the issues within your tribe been resolved?"
Taida shook his head, "No, those elders hold high positions, and I can’t overthrow them just yet. But I can’t watch Brother Tai’en wander outside like a wandering soul and wild ghost."
Long Fei nodded, "I understand that. If my brother were left to wander outside, I’d be heartbroken too."
He had someone call Tai’en in and told Taida, "Brother Tai’en is not my servant. He has the right to choose his own life. If he wants to go back with you, I’d never stop him."
"Thank you!"
Taida cupped his hands, thinking Long Fei would refuse, not expecting him to be so agreeable.
When Tai’en came in, he cupped one hand over his fist, greeting Long Fei.
Long Fei told him, "Brother Tai’en, Taida is here to bring you back to Barbarian King Star. If you’re willing, you can return with him; I won’t stop you."
Tai’en furrowed his brow, glanced at Taida.
Taida, anxious, stood up and shouted at him, "Tai’en, what are you saying?"
Tai’en said, "Big brother, my mind isn’t muddled. We’ve found our home here; the people here are kinder than those in our Barbarian King Star tribe. They treat us as brothers, not servants. We drink, chat, and go sea fishing, with no grievances at all. I told you, I’m here voluntarily to follow the master; I’ve never been enslaved or commanded."
"Though it’s good here, it’s not our home, is it?"
Taida grabbed his hands anxiously, astonished at his brother’s words.
Tai’en said earnestly, "Big brother, the tribe has traitors, and I know you’re having a hard time there alone. Going back would only bring trouble, and we’d be marginalized. It’s better to cultivate our strength here, and when we’ve improved, we can help you."
"Is that your decision?"
Taida asked him.
Tai’en nodded.
Taida sighed, "Alright, if that’s the case, I won’t force you. If you tire of staying here, you can always return. With me, Taida, around, you’ll never be wronged."
"I know."
Tai’en cupped his fists and left, diligently standing guard again.
Watching him, Taida shook his head, stood up, and bade farewell to Long Fei.
Chang Xi said to Long Fei, "I’m joining your Starry Ancient Path journey. Taida and I will wait for you on Demon King Star, and we’ll set out together."
"Got it." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Long Fei smiled and nodded, standing up to see them off.
Starry Ancient Path, accompanied by the beauties of Broad Cold Palace, not a bad thought.
