Capítulo 1490: Chapter 1490: A Joyous Day
In Ji Qian’s view, although the mbers of the Netherworld Palace were determined to venture to the Secret Realm, she was internally opposed. Soul Destroyer, Demoness, Nightmare, and Illusion Fox were all individuals with attachnts. If any of them were to et with trouble, it would undoubtedly lead to another living in pain. Even Ghost had Gu Xin silently waiting for him in the East Sea; if Ghost encountered an accident, what would happen to Gu Xin? Hence, Ji Qian did not want them to go together. However, since the warriors of the Netherworld Palace had made up their minds, Ji Qian could not stop them and could only let them go.
“You think you have to go, but I’m afraid not everyone is happy about you going. On the contrary, so are deep down unwilling for you to go,” Wuyan first paused before speaking.
“What do you an by that? Who wouldn’t want to go?” Ji Qian retorted.
“Aren’t you aware? I can even say that quite a few people think this way,” Wuyan continued, “For instance, the Main Gods from your overseas Underworld. They have been hoping against hope for Ye Shikai to run into trouble. Now that he is missing, if you were to find him, wouldn’t that destroy their wishes?”
“Moreover, so Huaxia families with conflicts with Ye Shikai would certainly harbor sinister intentions. If you wish to save him, they will undoubtedly obstruct you.”
“The one most unwilling for you to rescue him is probably… Chen Yuxin,” Wuyan ntioned as Ji Qian did not refute. Both won understood that with Chen Yuxin’s personality, she wouldn’t tolerate Ji Qian rescuing Ye Shikai, as it would be akin to letting another woman seduce her husband—especially soone with a special relationship with Ye Shikai like Ji Qian. If Ji Qian indeed saved him, it would elevate her standing in Ye Shikai’s heart. Chen Yuxin wouldn’t willingly accept that, of course.
“Speaking of which, the Chen family seems to have been quiet lately,” Ji Qian murmured. Chen Yuxin’s command included many formidable figures, not only the elders of the Chen family but also a tricky Shadow Organization outside the Chen family structure. Most crucially, now that Ye Shikai was absent, no one could predict what actions Chen Yuxin would take.
“Sect Leader Wuyan, Qian’er, so you were here all along,” Ji Tao slowly walked in at that mont.
“Father.”
“Family Head Ji.”
“I have already had dinner prepared, Sect Leader Wuyan, please.”
“Very well, I am indeed hungry. Wuyan, let’s go eat first,” Ji Qian proposed.
“Okay.”

Qin Dynasty.
“Ling’er,” Ye Shikai said, looking at He Linghan in front of the dressing table with a captivated smile. The bright red wedding dress, paired with gold and silver accessories, and finished with rouge made her appear elegant and noble, distinct from the ordinary village won. With such attire, He Linghan looked very much like a “daughter of a noble family.” This appearance reminded Ye Shikai of the day he married Su Qingyu, though she wore a white wedding dress. However, beauty primarily depends on the person.
“Why did you co so early?” He Linghan blushed upon seeing him. According to tradition, Ye Shikai shouldn’t be here until evening.
“What does it matter? These formalities are just for others,” Ye Shikai placed his hand on her shoulder, ironically noting that when he returned to Huaxia, he sought a peaceful life. Instead, problems arose one after another, offering him no mont of tranquility—until now, where he truly relished a peaceful ti.
“No,” He Linghan muttered, covering her red veil directly over herself.

“You’ll have to wait until this evening for that.”
“Alright, I respect your wishes.” Knowing that He Linghan was shy due to this being a feudal era, Ye Shikai didn’t rush and slowly left the room.
“Master, after discussing with the brothers, we’ve decided that the guards should ensure the village’s safety just in case. Since we will be eating and drinking here, I worry that robbers from the woods might co to join the festivities,” Man Cang said, noting that he almost endangered Ye Shikai’s life previously, thus, he dared not be lax today. After all, it was a significant day, and with the abundance of gold, silver, cloth, and food, the robbers were sure to be tempted.
“Alright then, take so alcohol and silver to reward the brothers. Share the joyous occasion,” Ye Shikai agreed.
“Understood, thank you, master.”
“By the way, have you seen Hua Liandie?” Ye Shikai suddenly recalled previous events, unsure of what he might have said wrong. He drove Hua Liandie away, and she even forbade him from seeking her out. Won’s moods are unpredictable, and now, on the wedding day, Hua Liandie was nowhere to be seen, making Ye Shikai more perplexed. She promised to attend his wedding.
“Well… I haven’t seen her for days either. However, so of her guards are still here; I believe she must be nearby.”
“Alright, you all may leave now.” Ye Shikai waved his hand, knowing they were not at fault for her unavailability. Hua Liandie was a bit too capricious in disregarding the chaotic surroundings—at the very least, she should have left word. Nonetheless, with so many guards by her side, safety shouldn’t be a concern.
“Yes, master. I’ll lead the brothers to the village entrance.”
“Go ahead.”
According to the arrangents, Ye Shikai was supposed to ride a horse to He Linghan’s ho in the morning. He was previously worried about finding a flower sedan and musicians, but He Linghan had brought them from the county days prior, eliminating major concerns.
“Look, it’s General Ye. He looks so majestic, wearing armor and riding a warhorse.”
“Indeed. General Ye went to the county and brought back so much food, helping the village through tough tis.”
“General Ye’s wedding feast has started, let’s go and see.”
“Yes, let’s go.”
The procession strode with gongs and drums, and joyous music attracted all villagers, young and old alike. Many followed the wedding procession, so even trailing behind Ye Shikai’s warhorse.
“Villagers, I have prepared a lavish banquet at my ho. How about you head over and wait for ?” With so many villagers joining the festivities, Ye Shikai had no choice but to usher them away.
“Alright, villagers, let’s go ahead and clear the way for General Ye.” The Three Elders of the village helped Ye Shikai direct them, and gradually, the villagers left.
“General Ye, I haven’t properly thanked you yet. Had it not been for the food you provided, the village… would have been helpless.”
