The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

Martial Uncle Su's alluring and gentle voice drifted over, "Martial Nephew Lin, care to guess why so many of our Chairmen and Elders have gathered here today? Besides celebrating the successful persuasion of the Northern Territory Queen by you and your Master, what other great joyous news might there be?"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao paused for a moment, glancing at the captivating, curvaceous figure on the stage. "Replying to Martial Uncle Su, I... I have no idea!"

Upon saying this, he promptly looked to his Master beside him.

She sat with her slender, black-stockinged legs crossed, her hand resting on her cheek, her knitted eyebrows suggesting she was just as clueless.

Just then, True Master Ziyun chuckled heartily and asked warmly, "Martial Nephew Lin, are you in search of a Daoist companion?"

What the—!?

You're the Sect Leader! How on earth can you say something like that!?

Lin Xiao's mind went blank. He instinctively looked towards Guo Yourong and Chu Youwei, and then to his Master, who stood between them.

The expressions on their three faces mirrored his own—they were clearly just as astonished.

It seems like they're all in the dark too!

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat as he glanced towards Zhu Wanning.

He saw the woman with whom he had shared three months of hardship in the Sword Tomb, the one who had performed a mock wedding ceremony with him, her face now radiant with joy, her beautiful, clear cheeks appearing incomparably bright in that instant.

Could it be...

Lin Xiao suddenly realized something.

He forced himself to remain calm and said through gritted teeth, "Lin Xiao does not understand what you mean, Sect Leader!"

"Hahahaha."

Hearing this, the Sect Leader laughed again. After exchanging glances with Su Mei and the other Elders, he chuckled, "Martial Nephew Lin, according to your Martial Uncle Su, you and Zhu Wanning, the Chief Disciple of Phoenix Caw Peak, were trapped during the Sword Tomb trial. While jointly cultivating the Twin Swords, feelings blossomed between you. Furthermore, you even performed a mock wedding ceremony, witnessed by our founding Ancestor's Spiritual Beast, the Glaze Heavenly Python. Is this true?"

"Ah, this..."

Just as Lin Xiao was considering how to answer, the Sect Leader, as if he had already coordinated with Su Mei, spoke again, "Tsk, tsk. Alright. Judging by your expression, what Martial Nephew Zhu said must be true."

He paused, then his tone shifted. "Well then. You are both the Chief Disciples of your respective peaks and exceptionally rare Sword Dao geniuses. Before you returned to the sect, I, Chief Su, and the various Elders had already discussed this—"

"Currently, the Demon Sect is stirring, ready to make trouble. The great war between the Righteous Path and the Demon Sect is on the verge of erupting!"

"Since you two are mutually devoted, why not, under the witness of us, the elders of our sect, officially marry and become true Daoist companions? In doing so, not only can your mutual affection be fulfilled, allowing you to live in harmony like a pair of phoenixes, but you can also better cultivate the Violet and Azure Twin Swords together. In the future, you can enhance the prestige of our Righteous Path. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Hahahahaha..."

As he finished speaking, this usually stern and serious Sect Leader of the Qinglan Sect actually clasped his hands and burst into hearty laughter.

At his declaration, the entire crowd no longer held back and also erupted in joyous laughter.

The great hall was instantly filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Lin Xiao looked on, dumbstruck.

It wasn't just him; the surrounding Elders, Guest Elders, even the notoriously harsh Chairman of Red Cloud Peak, Chisong, were all wearing knowing, indulgent smiles.

They looked as if they were one step away from personally escorting him and Zhu Wanning to the bridal chamber!

My heavens!

Have they all been possessed or something?

Is the entire prestigious Qinglan Immortal Sect, the leader of the Righteous Path, actually full of people obsessed with shipping couples?

His heart trembling with unease, Lin Xiao instinctively looked towards his Master and his two junior martial sisters.

He saw their three faces filled with boundless fury and disbelief, a stark contrast to the reactions of everyone around them.

Especially his Master, Xiao Hongling!

Lin Xiao genuinely felt that in the next second, she was going to—

Flip the table!

"Cough, cough."

At this moment, the Sect Leader, True Master Ziyun, cleared his throat, signaling for everyone to quiet down. Then, with a beaming smile, he said, "Alright, alright, Martial Nephew Lin, no need to be shy. We, your elders, have personally arranged this marriage for you. However, today, in front of Martial Nephew Zhu, we still need to ask you one thing—"

Saying this, he stroked his long beard, that avuncular smile reappearing on his face. "Heh heh, Martial Nephew Lin, are you willing to become Daoist companions with Zhu Wanning and journey the long Immortal Path together? Hmm?"

"I..."

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth. He glanced at his Master, who looked to be on the verge of exploding with anger. Then, for some reason, he resolutely declared, "I am willing!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall first fell silent for a second, then erupted into even louder laughter and applause!

One must understand that the Qinglan Immortal Sect, as a leading power of the Righteous Path in the Eastern Region, had always maintained strict rules. The higher-ups within the sect were typically very conservative and traditional in their conduct.

Over thousands of years, although there had been disciples, even Chairmen and Elders, who formed Daoist unions, married, and had children, most had done so privately.

But now, to receive the blessings of all the elders, in the presence of the Sect Leader, various other Elders, and even the reclusive Grand Elders behind the curtain, and to have their marriage alliance formalized like this...

For Lin Xiao and Zhu Wanning, this was a first in ten thousand years!

At this moment, everyone present was both envious and genuinely happy for the new couple.

They knew that with Lin Xiao setting this precedent, they would no longer have to hide their own marriages in the future!

Ignoring the chorus of congratulations, Lin Xiao exchanged a glance with Wanning, who was tearfully overjoyed, and offered her some comfort from a distance.

Then, Lin Xiao turned his gaze directly to his Master, who stood to the side.

He saw this tall and stunningly beautiful woman, the Scarlet Fairy, whose unique style made her stand out even among the Chairmen and Elders. Her phoenix eyes were icy cold, her face contorted with extreme anger!

As expected, the very next moment—

BOOM!

An overwhelming, boundless, terrifying Sword Pressure descended from above, engulfing the entire hall!

An enraged female voice thundered through the grand hall!

"Preposterous!"

"This concerns the lifelong future of my, Xiao Hongling's, own disciple! How can I allow others to overstep their bounds and arrange it!"

"This marriage..."

She gritted her teeth, her phoenix eyes bloodshot—as if she were crying, yet also as if they burned with blood-red flames of fury!

"I DO NOT AGREE!"

Her words instantly silenced the entire hall.

To her right, as if having anticipated this all along, Chief Su Mei of Phoenix Caw Peak appeared perfectly composed. Her captivating eyes narrowed slightly as she said coolly, "Junior Sister, don't lose your composure."

"Wanning and Lin Xiao are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. How can you object?"

"You shut up! My... My tiger of a disciple shall not marry a dog of a girl!"

Xiao Hongling pondered for a good while before gritting her teeth and spitting out this twisted idiom. Then, she struck out with her palm through the air, and the formidable Mana of her Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation surged forth!

The altar on the high platform, crafted from thousand-year-old Frozen Jade, was instantly pulverized by this Sword Pressure, vanishing as if it had never existed!

In that instant, everyone present was aghast!

You could hear a pin drop in the great hall.

Guo Yourong and Chu Youwei exchanged a look and then, in tacit understanding, stepped forward together. Bowing to those on the high platform, they declared, "Reporting to the Sect Leader and all esteemed Elders, this matter is improper! Everyone from our Divine Phoenix Peak... objects to it!"
