Chapter 503: Two Days Later

Taixu Yue, Situ Yang, Luo Feng, and Xuanyuan Mengli didn’t stay too long at Tang Xiao’s residence. They left after he introduced them to his family members and discussed his plans for the Misty Ridge.

Even as the night deepened, Situ Chengyan was still gathered with Tang Huang, Mu Lin, Zhang Fei, and Sun Quan.

Situ Chengyan wanted to learn more about Tang Xiao’s extended family because his granddaughter was set to marry him the day after tomorrow. He could see their relationship was very close, sharing a bond akin to that of blood siblings.

From their stories, Sun Chengyan learned that Tang Xiao gathered them and brought them to his realm, but they didn’t explain in detail. He didn’t pressure them; instead, he waited for the right time to find out everything.

In another area, Dugu Xinyue, Murong Xianyin, and Hong Ruoyan gathered together with Tang Yuan and a few other women.

From their conversation, the three women learned more about Tang Xiao’s character. They also learned of his past actions before he brought them to the Canglan Realm.

The three women were satisfied with their relationship; they were increasingly confident that Situ Lingxi would be happy with Tang Xiao.

.

.

Since she already knew Tang Yin and the others, Zhu Xuan’er didn’t feel awkward at all; she felt at home.

Situ Shuying was different because she didn’t know them before, so she felt awkward and uncomfortable.

Situ Shuying’s awkwardness quickly disappeared due to the warm treatment from Tang Yin and the others, especially Mu Yan. She still couldn’t believe that her half-sister would marry Tang Xiao, who already had five wives.

Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yueyao naturally joined their group, and they talked about many things, especially the former’s wedding preparations.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, Taixu Wuxian and Xuanyuan Wenxuan gathered with Tang Xiao and several of his brothers-in-law, such as Sun Yang and Zhang Fei’s two grandsons.

Compared to the stiff Xuanyuan Wenxuan, Taixu Wuxian was much easier to talk to, making Sun Yang and the others feel comfortable talking to him.

Xuanyuan Wenxuan informed Tang Xiao that two people from the Zhu Clan had arrived in the Song Kingdom. They were assigned by Zhu Xuan’er’s grandfather to protect her.

Tang Xiao had no problem with the two joining their group, but he didn’t want them interfering in his affairs in the Misty Ridge, and they only needed to focus on protecting Zhu Xuan’er.

Song Zhentian and Shangguan Qingyue sat together in their bedroom; they were aware of the presence of Situ Chengyan and the others in their kingdom.

At first, Song Zhentian and Shangguan Qingyue thought about meeting them, but Huangfu Lingxuan suddenly came to them and forbade them from meeting those people.

"What do you think they’ll do to our kingdom, wife?"

Shangguan Qingyin shook her head. "They won’t do anything, and I’m sure they came here to see Tang Xiao. After all, the Situ Clan is a royal clan like ours, and Situ Lingxi is in a relationship with him. However, I don’t understand the reason behind the arrival of Taixu Wuxian, Xuanyuan Wenxuan, and Zhu Xuan’er."

"I didn’t expect him to have such a close relationship with them, especially Taixu Wuxian." Song Zhentian couldn’t help but feel jealous of those people. He and his wife had been looking for ways to pull Tang Xiao to their side, but they were unsuccessful, and he ended up establishing relations with the Taixu Kingdom.

"Initially, I had hoped that Shangguan Qingyue could bring Tang Xiao over to our side, but she failed to do so." Shangguan Qingyun suddenly remembered something. "I think Taixu Wuxian and the others came to our kingdom not just to see Tang Xiao, and they had another purpose."

"Another purpose?" Song Zhentian was puzzled.

"The portal to the Misty Ridge will open in a few days, and people will be eager to go there, including them."

Song Zhentian massaged his forehead. He forgot about the Misty Ridge because of Song Tianlin’s disappearance. "You mean Taixu Wuxian and the others will go there together with Tang Xiao?"

"I’m sure they will go there together," Shangguan Qingyin thought for a moment. "Husband, we have to look for our second son, but we can’t ignore the Misty Ridge. That place only opens once a year, and there are many precious resources there, so we must send people from both our clans there."

"In that case, we have to tell them to get ready to go to that place. There are still a few days before the portal opens; I am sure they have enough time to prepare everything." Song Zhentian contacted the members of the Song Clan and asked them to prepare. "You should send Shangguan Qingyue there and ask her to find another way to approach Tang Xiao."

"Okay." Shangguan Qingyin immediately contacted Shangguan Qingyue. She contacted the Shangguan members afterward. "I’m still worried about our second son’s safety, husband."

"Me too." Song Zhentian embraced his wife. "Our people will arrive in the Shenwu Kingdom soon, and they will divide the tasks of investigating the Shenwu and Gu Clans. I hope they will find the whereabouts of our second son soon, and I will save him myself if necessary."

Shangguan Qingyin looked up at him. "If you want to rescue him, I will accompany you."

"Alright."

.

.

.

"Did you just get back?" Huangfu Meizhen asked Song Tianzun, who had just arrived at her room within the sect.

Song Tianzun sat down beside her. "I have asked the people from the Song and Shangguan Clans to stop searching for my brother in this kingdom, and they will focus their search on the Shenwu Kingdom. Where is Zhan Yiran?"

"She returned to the Zhan Clan this morning, and I asked her mother to stop her from leaving; otherwise, she would recklessly head to the Shenwu Kingdom to look for your brother." Huangfu Meizhen looked at her husband. "Will the Shangguan and Song Clans send people to the Misty Ridge?"

Song Tianzun nodded. "At first, my parents didn’t plan to send them to that place to search for my brother, but they changed their minds, and they have ordered them to prepare themselves. Do you already know about the arrival of Taixu Wuxian and the others to this kingdom?"

"I do." Huangfu Meizhen did not hide that. "Tang Xiao invited them to join his group to go to the Misty Ridge."

"Isn’t it still a bit early?"

"Actually, Tang Xiao will marry Situ Lingxi the day after tomorrow."

Song Tianzun looked at his wife in surprise. "I didn’t expect their relationship to progress so quickly. At first, my parents wanted to win Tang Xiao over to our side, but they moved faster than us."

"They originally had no intention of winning Tang Xiao over to their side, and it happened because of his relationship with Situ Lingxi." Huangfu Meizhen paused. "Your mother’s first mistake was that she was too impatient, and her second mistake was sending Shangguan Qingyue to approach him."

"Forget it," Song Tianzun sighed regretfully.

Huangfu Meizhen originally wanted to tell Song Tianzun about Liao Yexue and Song Chenglin. She dropped her intention and waited for Song Tiankun to return to the royal palace first. "Do you know when your uncle will come back?"

"He said he would be back in two days."

’Two days, huh?’ Huangfu Meizhen thought of several possibilities and informed her grandfather. "Let’s sleep, husband. I know you’re physically and mentally exhausted, so you should rest first."

Song Tianzun looked at his wife, caressed her cheek, and pinned her down.

In a few moments, Huangfu Meizhen’s moans echoed in the bedroom, accompanied by the sound of the bed cracking.

.

.

.

Just like the night before, Liao Yexue went to Song Chenglin’s room and spent her time with him. She had already received news from Song Tiankun that he would be back in two days, so she wanted to satisfy her lust before he returned.

After doing it with Song Chenglin for two days, Liao Yexue had a hard time extricating herself. Compared to her husband, he was younger and stronger in matters of bed, which made her continue to crave the satisfaction he gave her.

However, Liao Yexue was unaware that someone knew about her actions, and that person was eavesdropping on their activities.

.

.

.

Two days passed quickly.

At dawn, everyone in Tang Xiao’s residence was busy preparing themselves for his wedding with Situ Lingxi.

Meanwhile, Situ Lingxi sat in front of the mirror, already dressed in her wedding gown. Since her wedding with Tang Xiao would be held in a simple and private manner, Dugu Xinyue and Murong Xianyin helped her with her makeup.

Situ Lingxi looked at her mother from the mirror and asked. "Why are you crying again, Mother?"

"I cried because I was happy." Murong Xianyin caressed her head. "You are my only daughter, and you will be Tang Xiao’s wife after today, so I’m happy."

Situ Lingxi smiled. "Mother, I have never said this before, but I want you to know that I am always grateful to be your daughter. Even after I marry Tang Xiao, I will never forget you."

"By the way." They looked at Dugu Xinyue. "My foolish son contacted me last night, and he asked about our whereabouts, but I didn’t reply to him."

Situ Lingxi snorted. "We don’t need to think about him, Grandmother."

"Today is your wedding day, so you have to control your emotions."

.

.

.

In another room, Tang Yuan and Zhao Qing helped Tang Xiao prepare himself. Both women felt a strange feeling, especially since their nephew was about to get married for the first time.

"Xiao’er."

"Hmm?"

"What are your plans for Yin’er and the others? Will you also hold a wedding with them in the future?" Tang Yuan asked.
