Although Wang Han had made sacrifices, she didn't co away empty-handed.
She got the answer she wanted. Those two won who had caused her to be comatose for years were finally in her hands, ready for her to deal with personally.
Ti flew by, and Tang Rao's injuries gradually healed. The Harvest Festival was over, and most of the people from Feixi Island had registered to return to their respective islands. However, a small number of people, aside from exchanging goods and attending the auction of West Island treasures, were waiting to see if they could find any more fortuitous encounters on West Island.
Tang Rao put on a new set of clothes and walked out of Wang Han's boudoir, basking in the sunlight, feeling more comfortable than ever before.
"Tang Rao, are you not pretending that your body hasn't recovered today?"
Tang Rao thought he could co out for a walk at this ti without running into Wang Han, but he didn't expect Wang Han to be waiting outside, luring Tang Rao in.
"When have I ever pretended that my body hasn't recovered? It's a nice day, I'm just out for a walk, is that not allowed?"
Indeed, Tang Rao never claid he hadn't recovered; he just played the fool. Whenever Wang Han ca by, he'd pretend to be asleep, and that was that.
Realizing this, Tang Rao spoke with confidence!
"I didn't say you couldn't go out, but since your body is better, shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"
Back then, Wang Han had pressed a dagger against Tang Rao's throat, cutting his skin to bleed him, forcing him to marry her. How could Tang Rao forget such a profound mory?
"Marry you? I've been ready to marry you as my wife for a long ti. Just waiting for your father to set the date, you give a proposal, and that's it!"
Looking at Tang Rao's expression, there was a hint of the courage of a martyr.
"That would be best!"
Wang Han didn't see any difficulty on Tang Rao's face, and she was sowhat disappointed.
That would be best...
Wang Han left in sha and anger, not quite knowing why she was upset!
She went to Wang Lin for an invitation. On it, the marriage ti and other details were clear, and he even had a guest list prepared, showing that he had been ready for quite so ti.
Aside from a simple ceremony with You Xiaoxiao and Tang Rao, which was rely a small, simple affair, unlike now, where to marry the daughter of the West Island Master required a grand celebration.
Tang Rao kept reassuring himself that this was rely a formality. He absolutely couldn't let himself be emotionally involved or feel guilty towards those won who hadn't even had a simple ceremony.
Fortunately, Wang Lin didn't insist on giving Wang Han the position of primary wife. He knew Tang Rao cherished many won, and if they really had to define it, there would be no point in holding the wedding at all!
Tang Rao reviewed the contents of the invitation several tis, finding nothing unacceptable, before sending word to Wang Lin that he could proceed with the arrangents.
The ceremony was set on West Island. Besides Tang Rao and Wu Suowei, the two Kao Shan Sect mbers, all other attendees were guests from West Island. However, the Island Master announced that, apart from the invited distinguished guests, there would also be food given to the poor outside the residence.
Tang Rao had no objections to this arrangent.
Wang Han wore a bright red wedding dress, sitting on a replaced bridal bed, with her head covered, so no one could see her expression.
"Tang Rao, it's getting late. Everything outside is ready. When will you go to fetch Lady Wang?"
Wu Suowei closely watched Tang Rao, worried that he might back out last minute and refuse to fetch the bride.
"Soon, but I'm still waiting for soone."
Tang Rao was waiting for soone?
Wu Suowei, always by Tang Rao's side, had no idea who he had t or corresponded with, and didn't know who Tang Rao was waiting for.
"How co I don't know who you're waiting for?"
Wu Suowei saw Tang Rao in a bridegroom's festive outfit, and since he had never seen such attire, he looked envious and thought about asking if he could have the outfit after marrying and taking concubines later.
"Of course, I can't let you know; it'd spoil the fun!"
Tang Rao was being mysterious.
"You're keeping secrets from , huh? I think you need a good beating!"
Wu Suowei was joking; Tang Rao was at the mid-stage of his cultivation level, as was Wu Suowei. If they really fought, it was uncertain who would win.
"I don't want a beating. I'm just telling the truth. You'll find out soon enough; just wait a bit longer."
Still not telling Wu Suowei?
Wu Suowei knew Tang Rao was decisive, and he let Tang Rao wait on his own.
The auspicious ti had not yet arrived, so waiting a bit longer was no harm.
As ti ticked away, with Wu Suowei suspecting that Tang Rao's waiting was just a distraction to delay the wedding, they heard a "coo coo coo" from the roof.
"They're here!"
With a start, Tang Rao stood up.
"Who's here? I don't see anyone."
Wu Suowei sensed nothing unusual around them. How did Tang Rao know?
"Because you're a fool."
Would soone dare talk to their master like that?
Was Tang Rao not afraid of divine retribution?
Wu Suowei had never imagined that Tang Rao recognized the visitors not by sound but by scent.
Speaking of poisons, Tang Rao considered himself second only to Granny Hua.
And the only person who could identify Granny Hua's scent was Tang Rao.
"It's been a while; your senses are getting sharper."
Two people dressed in green leaped down from the roof beam — one Granny Hua, and the other Hua Wuque.
"Granny Hua, I thought you were joking, but you've actually co to West Island."
And Hua Wuque, the uncle, followed Granny Hua to West Island.
"Can't I co?"
Granny Hua swept her gaze around Tang Rao's room, ensuring there were no spies, before casually berating him.
"I never said you couldn't co. You didn't lend a hand during my dangerous days, but show up on my wedding day — aren't you deliberately making your disciple think too much?"
"Knowing you can handle trivial matters, why would I interfere? Today is different. It's my disciple's big day. You've had many, but this might be the only one we can make."
Granny Hua couldn't miss such an excuse for a feast.
"Seems like you just want to enjoy the feast, not caring about the next generation's well-being."
Despite his words, Tang Rao was a little delighted that Granny Hua and Hua Wuque ca specifically for the wedding.
"How could I not care? If your master didn't intervene, you'd have been targeted by nurous would-be assailants over these days. How do you think you survived?"
