Chapter 136 Wedding Date

Time flew by.
A month had passed since the Royal Martial Arts Academy was destroyed.
Over the past month, the capital had been in a state of complete reconstruction.
The majestic royal palace was rebuilt, and with the assistance of Jiang Weisheng, the Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouse, a large mountain was moved to block the massive pit. The mountain peak was flattened, and a more imposing palace was erected.
The capital itself had also recovered to a great extent.
Yet, even after a month...
The area where the Royal Martial Arts Academy once stood was still thick with the scent of blood.
It was a place people went out of their way to avoid.
Jiang Tianchen had originally intended to level it to the ground, but Gu Junhe suggested that the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy be built on the site instead.
For one, it would place the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy within the capital, which would be more convenient for its disciples and members.
Secondly, it served as a reminder to the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy not to follow in the footsteps of the Royal Martial Arts Academy.
In response to this, Jiang Tianchen specially consulted Xiao Yi's opinion, and with Xiao Yi's affirmation, the site was then handed over to Gu Junhe to manage. Niu Dali and the four Shi brothers had performed exceptionally well in the recent battle and had caught the eye of Gu Junhe.
They all took up important positions in the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, assisting Gu Junhe in restructuring it.
The entire Tianqing Kingdom could be said to be recovering from ruin.
And during this month...
Xiao Yi was focused on healing his wounds and taking care of Fang Qingzhu.
In the elegant courtyard,
Xiao Yi was practicing his swordplay in the courtyard. Each move and each posture improved significantly with continuous practice, and his mastery of the third phase of Sword Intent, the unity of man and sword, became increasingly proficient.
The battle had helped him accumulate experience, and Xiao Yi's cultivation officially stepped into the Tenth Layer of the Golden Core Realm.
The number of God Sealing Seeds in his body officially entered the ranks of fifty thousand.
However...
Even with fifty thousand God Sealing Seeds, Xiao Yi still was unable to open the next tomb. He had an intense premonition that to unlock the next tomb, the number of God Sealing Seeds must reach at least one hundred thousand.
At the same time,
Once the God Sealing Seeds reached one hundred thousand, huge changes would occur to his body.
This feeling became more intense as Xiao Yi's cultivation deepened.
"Xiao Yi brother, dinner's ready!"
Fang Qingzhu's voice came from behind. She and Lin Bingxin, one after the other, brought sumptuous dishes into the courtyard.
"Coming!"
Xiao Yi sheathed his Fire Qilin Sword, and the three sat down together.
"Qingzhu, try this fish!"
"Xiao Yi brother, eat more as well. I specially made this soup for you, to replenish your Qi-Blood!"
"Qingzhu, try this..."
Xiao Yi and Fang Qingzhu served each other food, enjoying a harmonious moment.
They completely ignored Lin Bingxin, who sat beside them with a look of grievance.
With wide watery eyes, she watched as they served food to each other, her pupils moving left and right following their movements, and suddenly let out a long sigh, "I really shouldn't have come to suffer this…"
"Uh..."
Xiao Yi and the other exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.
Fang Qingzhu's face turned red, and she glared at Xiao Yi before serving a piece of meat to Lin Bingxin, softly saying, "Bingxin, here's some meat for you. Eat more too!"
"It's Qingzhu who treats me the best!"
Lin Bingxin smiled sweetly, sending a challenging gaze towards Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly.
```
Tastes surpassed only by the rich complexity of life.
Xiao Yi put down his bowl and chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "Qingzhu, his majesty has sent a message. He's preparing to hold my coronation ceremony in half a month, declaring to all that I shall be honored as the Martial King of the Nation. I've already told him that on that day, I plan to make up for our wedding!"
"Ah?"
Fang Qingzhu was stunned, her chopsticks falling onto the table as her face blushed, "A make-up wedding?"
Xiao Yi nodded solemnly, "Our marriage was rushed, and I was even in a coma throughout. I owe you a grand wedding... Qingzhu, what do you think?"
"I, I'll listen to whatever Xiao Yi says!" Fang Qingzhu's face was flushed as she lowered her head.
Xiao Yi gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"Oh my, I can't watch this anymore, I'm going to go blind, I need to wash my eyes out..."
Lin Bingxin covered her face with an exaggerated expression, stood up, and trotted out. Behind her came Fang Qingzhu's chiding voice: "It's all your fault... Now Sister Bingxin has seen us and laughed..."
Xiao Yi laughed heartily.
But neither of them noticed that as Lin Bingxin ran, she slowed down, and between the fingers covering her face, a crystal-clear tear rolled down.
She raised her hand to wipe away the tear from the corner of her eye.
Lin Bingxin turned back to look at the courtyard not far away, a stubborn look on her face as she murmured to herself, "As long as they're happy, that's what matters, right?"
The next day.
The people from the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy and the royal family all received the news.
Half a month from now, Xiao Yi would be coronated as the Martial King of the Nation and would hold his wedding with Fang Qingzhu. This wedding would be unprecedented in its grandeur, its scale even comparable to that of the king's own wedding to the queen.
KIng Jiang Tianchen of the present will officiate the wedding, with all preparations being taken care of by the current Crown Prince, Jiang Tai.
In addition.
The headmaster of the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, Gu Junhe, and the only Tao Tribulation Realm elder of the Tianqing Kingdom, Jiang Weisheng, will serve as elders for both the bride and the groom.
The news of this wedding spread far and wide.
Inside the palace of the Purple Robe Kingdom.
Yue Cang gave a wry smile as he looked at the tightly closed door in front of him, his face gloomy: "Ling'er, didn't you know long ago that Xiao Yi had a wife? They're just redoing the wedding ceremony, why do you have to torment yourself like this?"
"Brother... I'm fine, I just want to be alone for a while, you go ahead!" came Yue Ling'er's low voice from inside the room.
Yue Cang sighed helplessly: "This man... Being too outstanding is also a sin!"
In the capital of the Tianqing Kingdom, within the Treasure Pavilion.
Elder Yan looked at Lin Bingxin, who was bustling about, preparing the congratulations gift, and sighed softly: "Girl, aren't you going to tell Xiao how you feel? If you're too embarrassed to speak up, I'll do it for you!"
"No!"
Lin Bingxin quickly turned around, "Master, please let me handle this, okay?"
"You..."
Elder Yan embraced Lin Bingxin with a look of heartache, gently patting her back.
Lin Bingxin buried her head in Elder Yan's chest, her tears falling uncontrollably as she bit her lip and murmured: "This is good... really... it's good..."
"Silly girl, silly girl..."
Elder Yan's heart ached deeply.
Meanwhile, as the entire Tianqing Kingdom was busy preparing for Xiao Yi and Fang Qingzhu's wedding.
Within Jin Country, ranking first among the hundred subordinate nations of the Great Qian Dynasty.
In the Xue Yilou.
Xue Mantian, who had lost his arms, listened to the report of his subordinate, his face covered in a fierce grin: "Hehe... A wedding? I shall turn this wedding into their funeral..."
At the same time.
In the boundless void.
Though flames blazed brightly, snowflakes suddenly began to drift down high in the sky. Amidst the flying snow, a colossal snow-white ship tore through space. Standing on the deck of the ship was a young man, dressed in a white robe, as handsome as a jade statue, with a golden crown upon his head.
He squinted his eyes, gazing in the direction of the Tianqing Kingdom: "Soon, we'll arrive very soon!"
