The undergarment embroidered with Jiang Fanās name was worn by a female disciple who wanted to kill him, and she asked in confusion:
"Great Venerate, what have you captured and brought back?"
The Star Mountain Master said, "Ziweiās new groom."
What?
The disciples were completely stunned.
Does Ziwei Fairy still lack suitors? Does she need to forcibly bring one here?
"Great Venerate, isnāt Ziwei Junior Sisterās groom supposed to be the Young City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City?"
The Star Mountain Master said indifferently, "Changed."
"Ziwei is marrying him."
Upon hearing this, everyone was incredulous.
There are countless talented men in Returning Ruins State. In terms of power and status, who can compare to the Young Master of Heavenly Heritage City?
"Great Venerate, this man is only in the Nascent Soul Realm. Is he worthy of Ziwei Junior Sister?"
Others also expressed their indignation for Ziwei Fairy.
"Great Venerate, Ziwei Junior Sister is the heir of our Star Mountain. Canāt we find someone better for her?"
"A talented man in the Divinity Transformation Realm, itās not like we donāt have any in Returning Ruins State, right?"
"Finding someone in the Nascent Soul Realm, wouldnāt this be a grievance for Ziwei Junior Sister?"
Although Ziwei Fairy once made them envious, even jealous.
Seeing Ziwei Fairy being married off to someone in the Nascent Soul Realm, they couldnāt help but feel sympathetic.
Because Ziwei Fairy is too outstanding.
Half a year ago, while she was passing through the Vast Sea in the Taicang State.
She was accidentally swept into a chaotic state-level teleportation array and unexpectedly transmitted to the Star Mountain of Returning Ruins State.
And landed in front of the grave of the late Great Venerateās senior brother.
The meditating Great Venerate was alerted, and quickly confirmed Ziwei Fairyās identity.
It turned out that she was the registered disciple of the Great Venerateās senior brother when he was wandering Taicang State years ago.
Now, with the senior brother deceased, the Great Venerate took her as a disciple on his behalf.
She possessed an incredibly powerful physique, and after the Great Venerate activated part of it, her cultivation advanced rapidly, almost like a god.
In just half a year, under the day-and-night guidance of the Great Venerate, she advanced from the Foundation Establishment Realm all the way to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, stunning the entire state!
Not long ago, the Great Venerate arranged for her to marry the Young City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City.
Their union was considered a beautiful marriage alliance.
Unexpectedly, now there was a sudden change, and the groom was replaced?
And replaced with someone in the Nascent Soul Realm!
The difference is too great!
Listening to everyoneās complaints, the Star Mountain Master couldnāt be bothered to deal with them and said, "My decision is made."
"Arrange the hall quickly; they must get married today."
She began to walk away.
But after a momentās thought, she paused and took out two purple jade rings, one large and one small.
Ziwei Fairy recognized what they were, her face changed slightly, and she said, "Master, is this necessary?"
"Heās in Star Mountain; can he run away?"
The Star Mountain Master said, "Better to be cautious than sorry."
With that, she tossed out the two jade rings.
The smaller one flew and landed in front of Ziwei Fairy, fitted onto her wrist, and then transformed into a purple halo embedded into her body.
The larger one flew towards Jiang Fan.
Just hearing Ziwei Fairyās resistance, it was clear it wasnāt something pleasant.
Jiang Fan, wrapped like a silkworm by the starlight, twisted his body in an attempt to dodge, but the jade ring teleported directly onto his wrist and then embedded into his body.
He asked in shock, "Senior, what is this?"
The Star Mountain Master said, "Why panic? Iām having you as the groom; how would I harm you?"
"This is the Telepathy Ring. The distance between the two it binds cannot exceed a thousand zhang."
Is that so?
Jiang Fanās eyes flashed as he decisively used Cloud Shadow.
The Star Mountain Master did not stop him and let Jiang Fan perform it.
As a result.
The Cloud Shadow, which was supposed to traverse dozens of miles in an instant, suddenly exploded at a distance of a thousand zhang from Ziwei Fairy.
Jiang Fan tried to fly across by force.
But an undefined force pulled at him, preventing him from crossing the range of a thousand zhang.
The Star Mountain Master then said, "Donāt waste your effort, this is a top-grade Spiritual Artifact."
"Even I find it difficult to escape its constraints."
Jiang Fanās expression sank.
The Great Venerate with the Heavenly Human Five Declines couldnāt escape?
Doesnāt that mean, as long as Ziwei Fairy is in Star Mountain, he canāt possibly leave?
This rendered all the escape methods he had planned entirely impractical.
The Star Mountain Master said, "Behave and get married. Donāt make futile struggles."
Then, she said to Ziwei Fairy, "Prepare for the marriage with peace of mind."
Everything needed for the wedding had been prepared because of the previous engagement with the Young City Lord.
Including the phoenix coronet and Xiapei.
Ziwei Fairy nodded, then remembered something and said, "Master, thereās one more thing I need your help with."
"He has a Heavenly Thunder Stone on him, which contains all his Magical Treasures."
"To prevent his escape, itās better to take his Heavenly Thunder Stone first."
The Star Mountain Master recalled Jiang Fanās various methods and, without hesitation, said, "Fortunately, you reminded me."
"This boy canāt be given any chance!"
She grasped towards Jiang Fanās chest.
A Heavenly Thunder Stone flew into her palm.
Ziwei Fairy said, "Master, let me keep it."
The Star Mountain Master did not intend to keep it herself.
After all, it was Jiang Fanās property. If she took it out of Jiang Fanās sight and Jiang Fan later accused her of missing items, she wouldnāt be able to defend herself.
So she tossed it to Ziwei Fairy, saying:
"Inform me if anything arises."
"Iāll go tend to that female Venerableās injuries first."
The memory-lost female Venerable, she intended to examine carefully to see if recovery was possible.
She suffered at the hands of the Compassionate Sage while protecting the Seven Cities of Heavenly Abyss.
The Star Mountain Master couldnāt bear to give up.
After the Star Mountain Master left.
Ziwei Fairy looked at the Heavenly Thunder Stone in her hand but didnāt open it; instead, she looked at it briefly before tucking it into her bosom.
"Ziwei Fairy, you and I must have been quite familiar at some point, right?"
Jiang Fan squinted, scrutinizing Ziwei Fairy.
The number of people who knew he had a Heavenly Thunder Stone wasnāt few.
But those who knew he used it all the time were very few.
Ziwei Fairy didnāt reply to him.
In fact, Ziwei Fairy had no chance to respond.
Because as soon as the Star Mountain Master left, the female disciples surrounded them, glaring at Jiang Fan with unfriendly eyes.
"Ziwei Junior Sister, did the sky flip? Youāre afraid of him running away with Master?"
"Exactly, it seems like Ziwei Junior Sister is begging to marry him."
"If rumors spread, others might think our Star Mountainās disciples are desperate to marry!"
Ziwei Fairy quickly said, "Esteemed Senior Sisters, itās Masterās order, so we must comply."
"No more disputes."
Senior Sister Chen glared sideways at Jiang Fan, who was wrapped in starlight, and snorted:
"Of course, we wonāt defy the Great Venerateās orders, but we just feel itās not worth it for Junior Sister."
"Dispel his starlight to see whatās so special about this person that makes the Great Venerate so fond."
Before Ziwei Fairy could object, the female disciple who wanted to kill Jiang Fan formed seals with her hands, dispelling the starlight.
Thus, the starlight enveloping Jiang Fan completely faded, revealing his true appearance.
"Huh?" The female disciple who wanted to kill Jiang Fan blinked:
"This guy looks as if heās just like Jiang Fan."
