Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 212 He felt he was about to be caught in the crossfire.

Lu Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "Is it Fellow Daoist Jing Shu and the others?"

In recent years, Jing Shu's reputation has soared. He not only helps people solve various problems but also eliminates several strongholds of evil cultivators. This has silenced the evil cultivator organizations that were already trying to revive.

Beside him was a rogue cultivator named Jing Ran, whose strength was unknown. He had never been seen making a move, but it was known that he and Jing Shu had a very close relationship.

But Ji Chen and Lu Yunqi, who knew the inside story, both knew who it was.

Gu Meng nodded. "That's right. Master and Senior Brother will come. Eldest Senior Brother and Xiao You are far away from here, so they won't come."

Seeing how well the two got along, Ji Chen couldn't help but interject, "Little Meng'er, why are you treating me and Lu Yunqi differently? You're so fierce with me..."

Gu Meng didn't speak, but looked behind Ji Chen.

"Little Meng'er," Ji Chen, oblivious to anything amiss, continued his banter, "Say something!"

"Little Meng'er." Bei Yan'an, who had somehow appeared behind Ji Chen, repeated what Ji Chen had said.

Ji Chen's body stiffened inexplicably, and he slowly turned his head to see a face that resembled Gu Meng's.

"Is it any of your business to call me that?" Bei Yan'an said calmly, but his eyes were already very unfriendly.

Ji Chen was startled and quickly turned around to bow and greet him, "Uncle."

Bei Yan'an withdrew his gaze and looked at Gu Meng, his expression softening. "Meng'er, where is your mother?"

"Mother went to refine pills. She asked me to tell you not to disturb her. She will come out on the wedding day herself," Gu Meng answered truthfully.

Bei Yan'an hadn't expected Gu Yue to go to refine pills at this time, because once Gu Yue started refining pills, she definitely wouldn't come out for at least ten days to half a month. And right now, there were only five days left until the wedding...

"Okay, I understand. And who are these two?"

"Ji Chen, the chief disciple of the Pill Sect. Lu Yunqi, the chief disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect," Gu Meng introduced them one by one.

"By the way, Ji Chen also helped his master deliver a letter to his mother. His master and mother should be old acquaintances."

When Bei Yan'an heard that Ji Chen came from the Dan Sect, he was already taken aback. When he heard that Ji Chen was Li Ning's disciple, his expression turned even more strange.

"So you're Li Ning's disciple..."

No wonder he was so annoyed from the first moment he saw him.

Look, it's my rival's apprentice!

Back when he was with Gu Yue, he discovered that the guy's feelings for Gu Yue were not pure. Taking advantage of his considerable knowledge of alchemy, he would often pull Gu Yue aside to discuss it, and the discussion would last for two or three days. During this time, Gu Yue would always ignore him.

"Yes, yes." Ji Chen could clearly feel that Bei Yan'an's gaze was becoming increasingly terrifying.

Ji Chen silently stood up and took two steps back from Lu Yun.

He knew that his master had a portrait that no one else knew about. When he was young, he had peeked at it once. The person in the portrait was none other than Gu Meng's mother, Gu Yue.

The task that his master assigned to him this time was self-evident; those who understand, understand.

However, even the master probably didn't expect that Senior Gu Yue was already getting married and that her child was already so grown up.

Now, he feels like he's about to be caught in the crossfire...

But he's innocent! Please don't look at him like that!

Although Bei Yan'an harbored great hostility towards Li Ning, he ultimately did nothing to Ji Chen and even had the servants in his mansion arrange accommodations for the two of them.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jing Shu and Han Luo finally arrived.

Han Luo had returned to his original appearance. He looked at the Regent's Palace, which was covered with red silk, but he didn't see the person who was supposed to come out to greet him.

When Gu Meng saw the two of them, she rushed over and gave them a big hug.

"Meng'er, where is your mother?" Jing Shu caught Gu Meng steadily and asked curiously.

Gu Meng sighed softly, "Mother took Ji Chen's Azure Cauldron to refine pills, and she hasn't come out yet."

Han Luo was not surprised at all; this was undoubtedly Gu Yue's doing.

Ji Chen and Lu Yunqi also came over. "Brother Jing, Immortal Venerable Hanluo, it's been a long time."

“Long time no see. So, what are you all doing here?” Jing Shu asked.

Ji Chen said with a wry smile, "Don't even mention it, I was really screwed over by my master."

Senior Gu Yue still hasn't come out, and Bei Yan'an's gaze towards him is becoming increasingly terrifying.

Bei Yan'an couldn't bear to mention Gu Yue, so he pinned the blame on Ji Chen.

If it weren't for Ji Chen's Azure Light Cauldron, Gu Yue wouldn't still be here.

"Little Meng'er, please save me! Your father's eyes look like he wants to kill me!" Ji Chen clasped his hands together and pleaded.

Upon hearing this, Gu Meng looked at Bei Yan'an, who was dressed in a wedding gown. When Bei Yan'an met her gaze, he smiled gently.

"My dad isn't that fierce. You're overthinking it."

Ji Chen: "..."

Lu Yunqi mocked him without any politeness.

As they were talking, Bei Yuze arrived at the Regent's Palace. Gu Meng ignored Ji Chen's pleas for help and chose to go play with her cousin.

As time went by, Gu Yue failed to appear, and the guests who came to offer their congratulations began to sense that something was amiss.

Why was the princess nowhere to be seen on the wedding day?

Song Yuanyuan also quietly approached Gu Meng, "Xiao Meng, why hasn't your mother come out yet? Is she trying to elope?"

Gu Meng was stunned for a moment when she heard Song Yuanyuan's guess, then laughed and said, "No, my mother... is still refining pills."

"Huh?" Song Yuanyuan clearly didn't expect this answer.

“Master, should we go and call Aunt Gu? Could she have forgotten the time?” Jing Shu suggested.

"No need." Han Luo glanced in the direction of the door. "Although she is a rather easygoing person, she will always keep her promises."

As Han Luo finished speaking, a red figure appeared at the doorway.

Gu Yue wore a bright red wedding dress, with a magnificent phoenix crown firmly placed on her head. Her face was as white as jade, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks against the backdrop of the wedding dress, making her look like a celestial being.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Gu Yue slowly spoke, "Bei Yan'an, I have come to marry you!"

Bei Yan'an slightly raised the corners of her lips, and a smile spread across her face, her eyes filled with deep affection and tenderness.

He walked step by step toward Gu Yue, and picked her up amidst the gasps of surprise from the crowd.

"Sister, I've finally married you..."

The best man, seeing that the newlyweds were ready, shouted loudly.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Couple greetings!"

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

No one dared to disturb the Regent's wedding night, and Gu Yue didn't want to go back to her room to rest so early, so she directly took a wine cup and pulled Bei Yan'an to Han Luo's side.

"Hahaha! I never thought I'd get married before you! Where's the gift? You didn't come empty-handed, did you?"

Han Luo couldn't bear to look at her. Seeing this, Jing Shu took out the Drunken Immortal Wine that he had prepared beforehand.

"Master knows that Aunt Gu loves to drink, so these two jars of priceless Drunken Immortal Wine are the congratulatory gift we prepared."

Gu Yue's eyes lit up when he saw it. He put the wine away while grinning.

"Oh, why are you being so polite? Come on! Let me toast you!"
