Chapter 160: Tang Xiao's Wedding, Charging the Seagod's Light
"Tang Xiao, I have met him many times." Ning Fengzhi continued.
"Although he is a bit older than you, he is upright and principled, values relationships and righteousness, and is not the type to be cold-hearted or ungrateful.
After you marry into his family, he will not treat you poorly.
Furthermore, Tang Xiao has not taken a wife yet, nor does he have any offspring.
If you marry over, you will be the Sect Master's wife of the Clear Sky Sect, with a highly esteemed status."
Ning Wanqing slowly closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, her eyes had become a pool of stillness.
It was a stillness of helplessness, a stillness of accepting one's fate.
"I understand."
When these four words were spoken, it was as if she had exhausted all her strength.
Ning Fengzhi sighed: "Wanqing, I have wronged you."
"By the way, the Clear Sky Sect has not given a reply yet. I came here today to give you some mental preparation."
After finishing, Ning Fengzhi turned and walked out.
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's last sentence, a sliver of hope suddenly surged in Ning Wanqing's heart.
If the Clear Sky Sect refused, would that mean she could escape this ordeal?
She knew this thought was selfish, naive, and irresponsible.
But she did not want to marry someone who was a complete stranger and over twenty years her senior.
However, the development of events was the exact opposite of her expectations.
Just one day later, a Disciple of the Speed Clan hurriedly delivered a message.
It was said that the Clear Sky Sect had agreed to Ning Fengzhi's marriage proposal.
Moreover, the wedding was set for three months later.
The moment she received the news, Ning Wanqing's heart sank sharply.
She knew she could not escape this.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Today was the joyous day of Clear Sky Sect Sect Master Tang Xiao's wedding.
The entire Sect was decorated with lanterns and festoons, with red silk laid out from the mountain gate all the way to the entrance of the main hall.
The Clear Sky Sect's Face was still very influential on the continent, and the guests who came were all prominent figures.
However, because Tang Chen had previously confronted Spirit Hall over Tang Hao's affairs, and the two sides had a very unpleasant falling out, Spirit Hall did not send anyone to offer congratulations this time.
And today, Tang Chen personally stepped forward to preside over his grandson's wedding.
Watching his grandson Tang Xiao finally settle down, the stone that had been hanging in his heart for many years finally fell a little.
As for the bride, Ning Wanqing, although she was still somewhat unwilling in her heart, after three months of psychological struggle, she had gradually accepted her fate.
It was just that her Face beneath the red veil did not have the joy a bride should have.
There was only a kind of calm that came with accepting one's fate.
As time passed...
Bow to Heaven and Earth, bow to the elders, bow to each other.
The ceremony was complete.
Late at night, in the bridal chamber, when Tang Xiao reached out to lift her red bridal veil, Ning Wanqing truly saw her husband's Face for the first time.
Tang Xiao had a tall and sturdy build, a resolute Face, thick eyebrows and large eyes, and a high bridge of the nose.
Although he was nearly fifty, he looked only in his early thirties.
Tang Xiao was not ugly, but as Ning Wanqing looked at him, there was no flutter in her heart.
There was only an unexplainable sense of strangeness and distance.
Tang Xiao seemed to notice her inner unease and smiled: "Wanqing, I know that things between us were a bit rushed and we lack affection, but rest assured, I will treat you well in the future."
Ning Wanqing lowered her eyes and gave a soft affirmative.
Time passed quietly, one month after the wedding.
In the backyard of the Clear Sky Sect, there was a quiet courtyard.
Ning Wanqing sat by the window, staring blankly at the scenery outside.
During this month, Tang Xiao had indeed treated her well.
Although he was not very good with words, everything was reflected in his actions; he took care of her meticulously, without any airs of the Sect Master of the world's number one Sect.
It could be said that Tang Xiao was indeed a good husband.
But Ning Wanqing still could not find a way to love him wholeheartedly.
She only felt that she was trapped in a golden cage.
This cage was big, beautiful, and had everything.
But ultimately, it was still a cage.
She missed everything about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and missed the time when she was free.
But now...
She looked down at her lower abdomen, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.
Yes, she was pregnant; it was only confirmed today.
The moment she learned she was pregnant, Ning Wanqing did not know what her mood was.
She should have been happy.
Because this child was her own flesh and blood.
But in her heart, she could not help but feel an indescribable sense of resistance.
And when this news reached Tang Xiao's ears, he was busy handling Sect affairs.
He was stunned for a long while, then strode toward the backyard, the smile on his lips unstoppable the entire way.
Before long, he arrived at the room.
"I am going to be a father?" Tang Xiao's eyes were full of the excitement and joy of becoming a father for the first time.
"Yes." Ning Wanqing managed to squeeze out a smile.
And when the news reached Tang Chen's ears, this super Douluo, who was usually stern and humorless, also rarely showed a smile.
Because this child was not only his great-grandson but also the hope of the Clear Sky Sect and the continuation of the Tang Clan Bloodline.
...
Seven months later.
Sea God Island.
A full year had passed since Bibi Dong and the others landed on the island.
And today was the final deadline for the three women, including Bibi Dong, to challenge the Seagod's Light.
At this moment, at the foot of Sea God Mountain.
Bo Saixi and Ah Yin were holding Su Mo's arms on the left and right, while Ye Qingshuang stood slightly behind.
The four of them watched Bibi Dong, who was struggling to climb up the long staircase.
Her trial requirement was to climb one hundred and thirty-six steps; currently, she had reached the one-hundredth step.
It is worth mentioning that in the past year, the three women, including Bibi Dong, had achieved great improvements.
Under the tremendous pressure of the Seagod's Light, both their physical fitness and Soul Power had made significant progress.
Ye Qingshuang first arrived on the island as a level 66 Soul Emperor, and half a year ago, she broke through to level 70.
According to the rules of the Sea God's Gods Trial, after reaching a Bottleneck for the first time, one can obtain a god-bestowed spirit ring.
Before she absorbed the god-bestowed spirit ring, Su Mo took out the left leg Soul Bone previously obtained from Tang Hao and gave it to Ye Qingshuang to absorb, further strengthening her Physique so that she could withstand a higher age limit when absorbing the god-bestowed spirit ring.
Cultivating to this day, plus absorbing a Soul Bone, her Soul Power had reached level 76.
Ah Yin's Soul Power was only level 62 when she arrived, and now she was a level 71 Soul Saint. Because she could condense Soul Rings herself, her god-bestowed spirit ring was temporarily kept.
As for Bibi Dong, she broke through to level 80 half a month ago and also obtained a god-bestowed spirit ring.
However, Su Mo did not let her absorb it immediately, but instead had her keep it for the time being.
