Chapter 1487: Chapter 1484: Mengting Acknowledges Her Family

Although Wu Wuji was excited, he was after all a master and remained relatively steady. After a brief lapse into excitement, he quickly regained his composure. He knew that there was no use in speaking too much; it would be better to find some credible evidence to prove his claim.

"Granddaughter, you... you have a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on your buttock. I personally carried you out from the room and handed you to your brother Wu Jian, so I am very clear about it."

Wu Wuji suddenly recalled such a characteristic, which for a girl, only her biological parents and husband would know. And he was just an old man in the depths of the valley, it was impossible for him to know, unless he was indeed her long-lost grandfather.

"Ah?"

Wu Mengting was very surprised; even Chen Tianlong didn’t know about her birthmark. Moreover, this old man and she had never met before, yet he knew the shape of her birthmark, which spoke to its significance. Hence she somewhat excitedly asked: "Old sir, you... are you really my grandfather?"

"Hehe, silly granddaughter, if your birthmark is correct, then you are indeed my granddaughter. How could I be a Prophet? Moreover, your husband is my disciple, I have no reason to deceive you."

The old man chuckled bitterly and said.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Wu Mengting felt it made a lot of sense. She then slowly approached him, gently touched his face, and for the first time noticed his true appearance.

This person bore some resemblance to her father, with a familiar countenance. At this moment, Wu Mengting was already certain this was her grandfather; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many coincidences.

"Grandfather, you’re really my grandfather."

Wu Mengting excitedly hugged Wu Wuji, and Wu Wuji was also very moved. Family members he hadn’t seen for years, yearning for a return that was impossible; now, her granddaughter actively finding him fulfilled his final wish.

Moreover, these might be his last days, so he thought of Wu Mengting’s father Wu Jian and thus asked concernedly: "Granddaughter, is Wu Jian well? I haven’t seen him for a long time and truly feel guilty."

At this point in Wu Wuji’s words, Wu Mengting’s expression suddenly darkened, evidently beginning to feel sad; he knew something was amiss.

Thus he asked concernedly: "Mengting granddaughter, what’s wrong? Is it possible something happened to your father?"

At this moment, Wu Mengting suddenly burst into tears, Chen Tianlong hurriedly stepped forward to hold her. Although he didn’t know what had happened, it surely wasn’t something good; otherwise, how could the always optimistic Mengting be so upset?

"Mengting, what’s wrong, what happened?"

Seeing Wu Mengting’s tearful face, Chen Tianlong felt some distress and asked with concern.

"My father... he disappeared. Good Sword Manor was burned to ashes as well, and my father’s life or death is uncertain, which is why I feel so desperate. Chen Tianlong fell from a cliff, my father’s life and death are unknown, I am all alone, thinking to jump down and join you, who would have thought..."

Wu Mengting said no more afterwards, everyone already understood.

"What? Good Sword Manor was destroyed by fire? Is Wu Jian’s life or death uncertain?"

At this time Wu Wuji was extremely enraged, stepping back two steps, nearly losing his balance, Wu Mengting reacted swiftly, hurriedly running over to support him.

"Grandfather, don’t be too upset, perhaps Father is still alive, just ran away, I was too impulsive, fortunately didn’t die, otherwise if Father is still alive and knew I left, he would be heartbroken."

Wu Mengting comforted Wu Wuji instead.

"Cough, cough..."

Wu Wuji coughed a few times, his complexion somewhat pale, due to hearing about his son’s situation, instantly appearing much aged.

"Grandfather, are you alright?"

Wu Mengting seeing Wu Wuji’s face looked unwell, was very worried.

Actually, Wu Wuji had health issues long ago, just hadn’t shown them ordinarily. A sorrowful moment exposed it.

"Rest assured, I’m fine, just need to rest for a while."

Wu Wuji didn’t want them to worry, thus deliberately said.

The three of them returned to the house, at this time Wu Wuji thought of something, felt it was time.

"Chen Tianlong my disciple, since you and Mengting granddaughter are in love, why don’t I arrange the match for you two to marry in the coming days. I don’t know if Mengting’s father is still alive, but as long as I’m here, let me help you complete the wedding."

Chen Tianlong nodded, feeling it was time to give Wu Mengting a warm home, and upon hearing this, Mengting blushed, saying nothing.

Wu Wuji could see these two already tacitly agreed, so he smiled and said: "Then it’s decided, in two days’ time you will wed, prepare well over these days. Though the valley is simplistic, nature’s power is limitless, we can craft a unique wedding that won’t be lacking even with just three people."

"Thank you, Master."

Chen Tianlong was incredibly touched, at this moment, he finally started to feel a sense of belonging.

After he and Mengting marry, they will be a couple in the true sense, just thinking about it made him excited.

Therefore, in the next two days, the three worked hard together, creating and constructing various things, finally completing everything by noon two days later.

In Chen Tianlong’s room, the decorations were made from various wildflowers, making the whole place look like a garden. The entrance was adorned with green vines forming a verdant gate, uplifting the spirit of anyone who saw it.

Wu Wuji went out once and bought a red veil, some red candles, and two sets of clothes.

Thus, the simple wedding began. Though simple, once Chen Tianlong and Mengting donned their red attire, they looked exceptionally beautiful.

Under the gentle sunshine, surrounded by a hundred flowers, with blue skies, white clouds, green mountains, and clear waters, and the breeze softly brushing over the pond, a refreshing coolness filled the air.

"Mengting, you look so beautiful!"

Gazing at the angelic Wu Mengting, Chen Tianlong said with a smile.

"Hehe, Chen Tianlong, you’re so handsome too!" Wu Mengting complimented back.

"Haha, you two don’t need to keep praising each other; you’re simply a perfect match. Hahaha, come on, let’s start the ceremony, I will act as your elder. Quickly bow to the heavens and earth."

Wu Wuji was extremely happy and after praising them, he immediately urged them to proceed.

Chen Tianlong and Mengting paused for a moment, then immediately knelt down and began to bow to the heavens and earth.

"Second, bow to the elders."

Wu Wuji imitated the ritual so well that he got carried away with it.

The two exchanged smiles, and even though Wu Mengting was veiled, her beauty was undeniable. Together, they bowed to Wu Wuji.

"Haha, good, good, quick, get up!"

Wu Wuji laughed so hard his mouth couldn’t close, seeing their happiness made him somewhat excited, so he continued to shout, "Husband and wife, bow to each other!"

At this thrilling moment, Chen Tianlong and Mengting, who had long been waiting for this moment, recalled the path they had walked together. Though difficult, they had smoothly reached this point, their love culminating in the vow: To hold hands and grow old together!

With their bow, their bond as husband and wife was sealed.

Lovers have finally become family.

The two embraced deeply, realizing how precious this moment was and worthy of eternal memory.

"What are you two waiting for? Hurry to the bridal chamber. Hahaha."

Wu Wuji said with a smile, then left immediately. Affairs of young people shouldn’t be interfered with by an old man; he knew staying any longer would affect them, so he wisely returned to his own room.

As soon as Wu Wuji left, Chen Tianlong suddenly scooped up Mengting in a princess carry and took her directly into their room. Previously, they had no marital relationship and couldn’t openly show affection, but now it was different; they were a married couple, and such intimacy was normal, with no need for embarrassment.

Chen Tianlong wasn’t in a hurry either. Gently, he lifted Mengting’s red veil, marking the first step in Mengting becoming his wife. Looking at Wu Mengting’s fair, tender face, her bright eyes, and soft lips, Chen Tianlong’s breath quickened a bit.

Meanwhile, Wu Mengting was no longer hesitant. Being Chen Tianlong’s wife now, she could do what was meant to be done. So, their lips slowly approached, and the intense love they shared poured forth, quickly merging them into one.

This time was different from before; it was as a married couple, and the affection was much more genuine.

Thus, they stayed entwined until dusk, unwilling to part.

If Wu Wuji hadn’t shouted from outside, "Dinner time," they might not have realized it was already evening. With a shared smile, they got up, dressed, and walked out of the room together towards the hall.

Actually, Wu Wuji’s wooden house was simple, with just three rooms. The kitchen for cooking was separate on the side of the wooden house, leaving two rooms and a living room.

The three of them entered the living room and began eating. Today was a day of great joy, so all three ate and drank merrily.

"Chen Tianlong, my disciple, Mengting is now entrusted to you; make sure to treat her well, or I won’t let you off even in the afterlife. Haha," Wu Wuji joked amid the joyous occasion.

"Master, don’t worry. Even if you didn’t entrust her, I would treat her well," Chen Tianlong replied with a slight smile.

Wu Mengting, blushing, didn’t know what to say, but Wu Wuji suddenly changed the topic.

He announced, "Chen Tianlong, my disciple, starting tomorrow, I will help you train in the Dragon Slayer Sword’s fourth stance, which is the supreme technique of swordsmanship. Once you master this move, practically no one in the Mortal Realm will be able to rival you."

Chen Tianlong was taken aback, thinking how mighty his master must be to understand even his own Dragon Slayer Sword so thoroughly—unaware that the Sword Sect and the Sword Saint shared a complicated history. Although they didn’t have a personal grudge, their pursuit of a woman led to constant duels, which resulted in them knowing each other’s moves by heart.

"The fourth stance, Sword Roar of Nine Heavens, is the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Back then, Sword Saint Zhuge Yun relied on this move to awe the world, undefeated across the land. When this stance is unleashed, it darkens the skies, and the speed of the sword is exceptionally fast, like a gust of wind roaming beyond the nine skies. Its power is immense, with a piercing force reaching one hundred percent, making it unstoppable."

Sword Sect’s Wu Wuji introduced the Sword Roar of Nine Heavens move to Chen Tianlong.

Chen Tianlong’s eyes widened; to think his techniques were so formidable—just the fourth move was already so incredible, so what would follow be like?

What Chen Tianlong didn’t know was that the fourth and fifth levels were essentially brother moves. Using the two moves together was the true brilliance of the Sword Saint’s swordsmanship.
