Chapter 1347: Giving You a Title!
"From today onward, Lian Yuze and Su Yunming will be the Deputy Sect Masters of my Phoenix Sect. After my departure, their orders will be equivalent to my orders," Su Han calmly surveyed the crowd and said.
"As you command!"
Everyone immediately agreed, looking at Lian Yuze with eyes full of envy.
The power to control the entire Phoenix Sect had fallen into Lian Yuze's hands, and to say that there was no envy would be a lie.
"Now, I will announce the second matter."
Su Han continued, "In the coming year, I will lead the Blood God Army around the entire Dragon Martial Continent to set up the strongest formations, to block any foreign enemies. This formation, at the Phoenix Sect's headquarters and you four major branches, must be monitored year-round with no loss whatsoever."
"Yes!"
Everyone's expressions tightened; they all understood that, given Su Han's current power, the formation he set up would undoubtedly be terrifyingly strong.
"The third matter."
Su Han then said, "Although the Phoenix Sect is strong now and controls the entire Dragon Martial Continent, it must never provoke other forces without reason. People claim that I am arrogant and brash, but I know who I am. If anyone dares to use the Phoenix Sect's name to flaunt their power, they will be immediately stripped of their Cultivation Base, expelled from the Sect, and shown no mercy!"
"We humbly obey the Sect Master's orders!"
"The fourth matter."
"The One Slash Palace, Holy Spirit Palace, and the Yun and Song Families... these forces I mentioned are allied with my Phoenix Sect. If they encounter difficulties, you are to assist them immediately."
"Yes!"
"The fifth matter..."
...
In the time that followed, Su Han continued to announce various matters.
He was about to leave, and there could be no mistakes in the Phoenix Sect he had established. Su Han had already made plans for all future matters.
By noon, Su Han finally spoke about the last matter.
"This last matter... is a personal one."
Su Han looked at Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran with a smile and said, "One month from now, the Sect Master will hold a grand wedding. If you are willing to grace us with your presence, please come to the Phoenix Sect's headquarters, where you will be received with the best ceremony!"
"A wedding?"
"Hahaha, congratulations to the Sect Master, best wishes to the Sect Master!"
"The Sect Master is finally getting married? We absolutely must come!"
...
The sounds of congratulations and noise were ignored by Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran.
They looked at Su Han in a daze, momentarily frozen.
"You have been with me for decades now, and even Qing'er and Yao'er have grown into young adults. It's time to give you both a true title."
Su Han looked at the two of them and spoke softly.
"Sob..."
They burst into tears and directly threw themselves into Su Han's embrace.
How long had they waited for this day?
Too long, too long...
As Su Yunming said, although they were already husband and wife in reality, they were not husband and wife in name.
They had envisioned countless times how they would dress and how to become the most beautiful women in the world on their wedding day.
And that day had finally arrived...
So suddenly, so delightfully unexpected.
...
While everyone was congratulating Su Han, two figures sat quietly on their chairs, their faces blank, tears streaming down.
This was Nangong Yu and Yun Qianqian.
Nangong Yu had lost her previous liveliness; she watched Su Han with a smile, watched Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran sobbing, and felt a pain in her heart as if it was being ripped apart.
Finally... getting married?
But the bride is not her.
Before this, Nangong Yu had never cared about Xiao Yuran and Xiao Yuhui, always thinking that as long as she liked Su Han, it was enough.
But now, why does it feel so different from before?
Everyone knew she liked Su Han, but Su Han was marrying someone else instead, and in the hearts of all those on the Dragon Martial Continent, Su Han's wives would only be Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran.
If Su Han remained on the Dragon Martial Continent, Nangong Yu could wait, even until the end of time, she would continue to wait.
As long as Su Han was there, she had hope, even if it would take ten thousand years.
However, Su Han was about to leave the Dragon Martial Continent and head into the Starry Sky, so how could Nangong Yu keep waiting?
The next time Su Han returns, would she have become a haggard, aged woman, old beyond years?
When they meet again, would she have already passed away, and be unable to tell Su Han... I like you?
Large teardrops fell from the corner of Nangong Yu's eyes; she couldn't believe Su Han's heart was so unyielding!
...
Like Nangong Yu, Yun Qianqian sat there with tears flowing.
She liked Su Han, but she had never told him because she felt she wasn't worthy of him.
Even if she had helped Su Han a lot, compared to how much Su Han had helped her, it was far from enough.
Yun Qianqian knew that emotions shouldn't be measured by benefits, but with their unmatched status, how could she love Su Han without holding back or fearing?
She couldn't.
"Congratulations, Su Han..."
A murmured voice came from her heart.
Su Han couldn't hear it.
...
The meeting ended amid an atmosphere of joy.
From the next day, the entire Phoenix Sect began preparations, hanging lanterns and decorations, bright and colorful.
The disciples were busy beyond measure, with some preparing the bridal chamber, some organizing the banquet, while others traveled between Teleportation Formations, inviting various forces to Su Han's grand wedding.
The grand wedding of the Dragon Martial Master!
This news was like a bombshell falling on the calm lake of the Dragon Martial Continent, immediately stirring up huge waves.
"Have you heard? The Dragon Martial Master is getting married."
"What? The Dragon Martial Master is getting married? Oh my god, that event will surely be grand beyond imagination?"
"Of course, I've heard the Phoenix Sect has already begun inviting various forces. I wish we could attend too!"
"Sigh, I don't know if our Gathering Spirit Pavilion will be invited. It seems unlikely, as we're just a Seventh-Rate Sect."
"You never know, the Dragon Martial Master isn't as arrogant as rumors suggest. I've heard many Eighth-Rank Sects have been invited, so your Gathering Spirit Pavilion will likely be invited too."
"This kind of event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I must go, even if I have to stand on the outermost edge just to have a look."
The streets were abuzz with talk of Su Han's grand wedding.
If it were someone else, it wouldn't matter, but the Dragon Martial Master, the strongest on the Dragon Martial Continent, a man like a god who created numerous legends; one could only imagine what his wedding would be like.
