"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
As Chrysanthemum Douluo's shrill voice faded, Xu Xin and Bibi Dong bowed towards the distance.
Xu Xin knew that this was just a ceremony and wouldn't have any impact, nor would it involve any causal relationship. Douluo Continent wasn't that advanced yet.
"Bowing to the parents a second time!"
The two turned around and bowed to Qian Daoliu, who was sitting in the high position. Qian Daoliu's serious face finally broke into a smile after this bow.
I'm a little dissatisfied. Why isn't it my son's wedding? Sigh, that brat, when will I ever have my day?
Qian Daoliu still had some expectations and really hoped that day would come soon.
"Husband and wife bow to each other," Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted again.
Xu Xin faced Bibi Dong and bowed slightly to her.
The ceremony is now complete!
Qian Xunji stared at them with a sinister gaze, his heart pounding with barely suppressed emotion. He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he were the one standing next to Bibi Dong right now, but alas, it was impossible.
Qian Xunji still had to wait. He just hoped that night would come quickly, and that everything would be over when night fell.
After the ceremony, Bibi Dong was escorted to the bridal chamber. As soon as she took one step out, Xu Xin grabbed her slender hand and handed her a pill.
"Don't ask anything. Take it before entering the bridal chamber."
Xu Xin quickly sent a telepathic message to her. Bibi Dong's shy expression suddenly froze, and she nodded silently while tightly gripping the pill in her hand.
She knew Xu Xin wouldn't harm her, and no matter what happened, she would deal with it later that night.
"Oh my, they can't wait any longer!" someone shouted, and the crowd burst into laughter.
"Haha, let's drink!"
Xu Xin grinned broadly, turned around and walked back, and began to toast them.
Regardless of past relationships, on this joyous occasion, we must show respect. As for past grievances? We can deal with that after today.
Qian Xunji stared intently at Xu Xin and Bibi Dong. The scene just now did not escape his eyes. Unfortunately, when they held hands, they let go in an instant. The speed was so fast that he was caught off guard and did not notice at all.
"Hmph, let you be smug for a little while longer, tonight is your death night."
Qian Xunji downed the cup of wine in front of her in one gulp, thinking angrily in her heart.
On the other side, Xu Xin kept offering toasts.
"Your Holiness, thank you for raising Dong'er so well."
"Thank you for marrying such an excellent Dong'er to me."
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
With each sentence, Xu Xin would toast Qian Xunji with a full cup of wine. Regardless of anything else, Bibi Dong was indeed someone he had nurtured and raised, and his gratitude was genuine.
After all, without Qian Xunji's personal intervention, marrying Bibi Dong would have been quite difficult. Now that Qian Xunji is personally handling things, things are much more comfortable.
Hearing Xu Xin's words, Qian Xunji forced a smile and drank one cup after another. He didn't dare to drink too much, as something important awaited him tonight.
After paying his respects to Qian Xunji, Xu Xin walked around again.
Qian Daoliu wasn't interested in this and had already left; witnessing it was enough for him.
Before we knew it, the crescent moon had risen high in the sky, and the guests had already left.
The once bustling and lively Spirit Hall was now much quieter.
Ah Yin and the others arrived at the accommodations arranged for them by the Spirit Hall. The four of them exchanged glances at each other at the door before returning to their respective rooms.
Xu Xin, slightly drunk, pushed open the door to the bridal chamber. The two maids guarding the door silently closed the door after Xu Xin entered and began to listen quietly to the sounds inside.
As soon as Xu Xin entered, the drunkenness on his face disappeared. He carefully walked to Bibi Dong's side, took her hand, and they entered the Ghost Shadow Kingdom.
The next moment, a woman and a man appeared in the bridal chamber.
The woman was wearing a wedding dress and possessed something specially made by Dugu Bo; if she lifted her red veil, she would be affected.
The man looked exactly like Xu Xin, as if they were cut from the same mold, and was also dressed in a groom's suit.
Both of them were already poisoned and unconscious.
Xu Xin took Bibi's hand and had the ninja soldier carve the pattern of Tara's mask onto her hand to prevent her from being corrupted by the darkness here.
Bibi Dong looked at Xu Xin in surprise as his veil was lifted: "What are you doing?"
"This is my place, it's absolutely safe."
"Dong'er, what is about to happen may overturn your understanding and imagination. You should be mentally prepared."
Xu Xin pulled her along, looked into Bibi Dong's eyes, and spoke.
Seeing Xu Xin's serious expression, Bibi Dong, who had been somewhat excited, immediately changed her demeanor and looked at Xu Xin with equal seriousness.
"You can say, I Can handle it."
Xu Xin took a deep breath and explained Qian Xunji's plan to Bibi Dong, as well as the effects of the pill.
Inside the new house, the candles that emitted light contained a poison that wouldn't kill, but would only cause unconsciousness, and a deep coma at that.
The pill that Xu Xin gave was the antidote; taking it in advance would prevent any problems.
After all, who would have thought that the Pope would poison a candle, especially since candles are not easy to detect?
If Xu Xin hadn't had the ninja soldiers monitor Qian Xunji, he really would have fallen into the trap. Candles, oh candles, placed on such a joyous day, who would have thought?
It's safe to say that the entire room is now filled with that poison, and one wrong move could lead to poisoning.
The two maids outside the door were Qian Xunji's people, and they had already taken the antidote in advance.
Qian Xunji's plan was to make Bibi Dong and Xu Xin unconscious, thereby killing Xu Xin and taking Bibi Dong for himself.
Who would have thought that the saint's respected teacher, the righteous and awe-inspiring Pope, would do such a thing?
Hearing Xu Xin's words, Bibi Dong kept shaking her head, unwilling to believe him at all.
"Impossible, teacher, how could a teacher do such a thing?"
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with disbelief; she could never have imagined that her teacher would be like this.
"I know it's hard for you to accept. If I hadn't had the ninja soldiers watching me, I wouldn't have known any of this, nor would I have imagined that the Pope would act this way."
"It's okay, let's wait and see. We'll know if it's true or not by tonight."
Xu Xin grabbed Bibi Dong and hugged her tightly.
Bibi Dong didn't dislike this; she liked Xu Xin and enjoyed the feeling. However, she couldn't accept that her teacher was this kind of person.
She also trusted Xu Xin. For a moment, she couldn't tell the difference between her lover and the teacher who raised her.
I find it hard to let go of either side, and I don't want this to happen.
But now that things have come to this point, she can only do as Xu Xin says and see what happens, just in case, just in case it's fake.
She still harbored a sliver of hope, a sliver of hope for Qian Xunji.
Over the years, she has seen everything Qian Xunji has done for her; she's not stupid.
