Chapter 195 The Separation of the Witchcraft Family! Strange Phenomena Reappear!
Lan Cailing finished speaking.
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone froze in place, as if they had been frozen in place.
Long Haishan stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, as the string of beads finally slipped from his hand, falling to the ground with a thud and rolling a long way away.
Outgoing Chief of the Capital?
A retired saintess?
Did Ling Gu Dong withdraw from the lineage of witchcraft?
This……
What's going on? Did a windfall fall from the sky?
Finally, some people in the square came to their senses.
"No!"
An aged voice rang out from the crowd.
He was an elderly man with gray hair, a distant cousin of Lan Cailing, and a senior member of the witchcraft lineage.
He leaned on his cane, his cloudy eyes fixed on Lan Cailing.
"Cai Ling, are you crazy?!"
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...
"Stepping down as the chief of the sect? Making Nianzhen step down as the holy maiden? The Linggu Sect withdrawing from the witchcraft lineage?"
"You're trying to sow discord within our lineage of witchcraft!"
His voice was hoarse, carrying a sense of deep sorrow.
Several elderly men stood up and echoed his sentiments.
"Yes! Chief, please reconsider!"
"Our lineage of witchcraft is already small in number. If we split like this, how will we maintain our foothold in the Great Xia's transcendent realm?"
"Cai Ling, you're going to destroy the legacy passed down from your ancestors with your own hands!"
Opposition voices rose and fell.
But Lan Cailing remained expressionless and silent.
Those who opposed it gradually quieted down after shouting for a while.
Because they discovered that not many people agreed with them.
They looked at each other, and saw the confusion and unease in each other's eyes.
How could this happen?
This is a major event that could split the lineage of witchcraft!
Why...
Why are only a few of them standing up to oppose it?
At this moment, most people sat there in silence.
The expression is complex.
Their gazes differed.
Some were shocked, some were bewildered, some seemed thoughtful, and some...
There was a hint of anticipation in it.
These people are the middle-aged members of the witchcraft lineage who have been suffocated by Lan Cailing over the years; they are the "enlightened people" who have long felt that the witchcraft lineage needs to change.
They didn't speak.
They just watched in silence.
Looking at that figure.
That figure, who has stood at the forefront of the witchcraft lineage all these years, pressing down on them like a mountain, making it hard for them to breathe.
Now, the mountain is going to be moved.
The people of Linggu Cave also stood up at this moment.
They looked at Lan Cailing, and at the chieftain they had followed for decades.
No one speaks.
But their eyes said it all.
trust.
Absolute trust.
Lan Cailing has led Ling Gu Dong to where she is today over the years, and no matter what decision she makes, they believe in her.
Even if this decision means that Linggu Cave will withdraw from the lineage of witchcraft.
Lan Cailing looked at the excited crowd, the complex gazes, and the silent faces.
Her face was calm.
It was as calm as a deep pool of water.
"Gentlemen."
She spoke again.
The sound wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire venue.
"From now on, the affairs of Linggu Cave will have nothing to do with the witchcraft lineage."
"The rules of the witchcraft lineage don't apply to the Spirit Gu Cave."
"so……"
She looked at the silent faces, her gaze calm.
"Is that enough?"
At that moment, the excited elderly people stood there, mouths agape, speechless.
Long Haishan sat there, as if he were in a dream.
He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected Lan Cailing to pull such a stunt.
He stepped down.
drop out.
He had prepared for so long, invited Gu Changqing, and gathered so many people, yet he still couldn't achieve his goal, and now...
Long Haishan didn't know if this could be considered a glimmer of hope after all the darkness; he only knew that happiness had fallen upon him in a way he had never imagined.
Edge of the square.
Gu Changqing's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.
He looked at Lan Cailing, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
This girl...is even more decisive than her older sister!
Gu Changqing lowered his head and took a sip of herbal tea.
Tea is bitter.
He was also suffering inside.
What the hell is this?!
Meanwhile, at the main table...
Seeing this scene, President Qin was filled with mixed emotions.
Lan Cailing, that woman, is really...
That was too decisive.
He looked at Master Xuanming beside him.
Master Xuanming was also looking at Lan Cailing with a hint of admiration on his face.
"Blue girl, you have guts," he said softly.
President Qin nodded.
"yes."
"If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to do it so decisively."
Zhang Tianshi sighed beside him.
"The withdrawal of Linggu Cave from the Wugu lineage is a huge loss for the Wugu lineage."
"But for Linggu Cave, it may not be a bad thing."
Master Qingwei nodded.
"With Master Li here, Linggu Cave will only get better and better."
The people spoke very softly.
But Li Jun, who was sitting next to him, heard it all clearly.
He held his teacup and slowly took a sip.
But deep down, I felt a sense of helplessness.
What does this have to do with me?
I'm just here for my good friend's engagement party.
But he couldn't say those words.
He could only continue holding the teacup, maintaining an inscrutable demeanor.
The old Taoist priest sat down next to him and leaned in to ask in a low voice:
"Jun'er, what is the Blue Cave Master doing?"
Li Jun put down his teacup.
"Master, Aunt Lan did this for Yin Jian and Nianzhen."
The old Taoist priest was taken aback.
"For them?"
Li Jun nodded.
"Um."
"Aunt Lan has stepped down as the chief of the sect, and Ling Gu Dong has withdrawn from the Wu Gu lineage. From now on, the rules of the Wu Gu lineage will no longer apply to Nian Zhen."
"She can marry Yin Jian openly and honestly, without being bound by those old rules anymore."
After listening, the old Taoist priest remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he sighed.
"A mother will give up anything for her child."
at the same time.
After Lan Cailing finished speaking, she stood there in silence for a few seconds.
Then, she turned around and walked onto the stage, waving to Lan Nianzhen and Yin Jian who were standing on the side of the stage.
"Nianzhen, Xiaoyin, come up here."
Lan Nianzhen and Yin Jian exchanged a glance and walked onto the stage.
Lan Cailing looked at them and smiled.
That smile was different from the calm she had just given.
That was a mother's smile as she looked at her daughter.
gentle.
Glad.
There's still a sliver...
Reluctant to part with it.
"Nianzhen".
She spoke.
"Mom is entrusting you to Xiao Yin today."
"From now on, live a good life."
Lan Nianzhen's eyes instantly reddened.
"mom……"
Lan Cailing waved her hand.
"Don't cry, today is a good day."
She looked at Yin Jian.
"Xiao Yin".
Yin Jian quickly replied, "Aunt Lan."
Lan Cailing looked at him and said seriously:
"Nianzhen has been spoiled by me since she was little, and she has a bad temper. If she does anything wrong in the future, please bear with her."
"If she dares to bully you, tell me, and I'll deal with her."
Yin Jian quickly replied, "Aunt Lan, don't worry, Nianzhen is fine, I will treat her well."
Lan Cailing nodded.
She didn't say anything more.
She simply reached out and slipped a silver bracelet off her wrist.
The bracelet was very old, with intricate patterns engraved on it, and a luster that had settled with the passage of time.
She put the bracelet on Lan Nianzhen's wrist.
"This was passed down to me by your grandmother, and now it's yours."
Lan Nianzhen looked down at the bracelet, and finally, tears streamed down her face.
Lan Cailing reached out and wiped away her tears.
"Alright, stop crying."
She took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the audience.
"Today is the auspicious day of my daughter's engagement."
"What I said just now was my decision, Lan Cailing, and has nothing to do with today's happy occasion."
"Now……"
She raised her voice.
"The ceremony begins!"
The engagement ceremony began.
But the atmosphere was somewhat eerie.
Those in the audience were still reeling from the shock they had just witnessed.
The old men sat there, their faces ashen, without uttering a word.
The chieftains had complex expressions, each with their own thoughts.
But the people of Linggu Cave don't care about these things.
They went about their business.
Laugh when you should laugh, say what you should say.
It was as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Lan Cailing stood on the stage, looking towards the main table.
"Please invite the groom's parents to the stage."
Yin Jian's parents stood up and went up on the stage.
Both were honest, simple farmers who had never seen such a grand scene in their lives, let alone experienced such a spectacle.
Mr. Yin's hands were trembling.
Yin's mother gripped his arm tightly, her face pale.
But they still tried their best to straighten their backs, walk onto the stage, and stand in front of Lan Cailing.
Lan Cailing looked at them and smiled.
"My dear in-laws, don't be nervous."
She said softly.
"Don't worry, it'll be alright."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Yin felt their tension ease somewhat.
Lan Cailing turned around and looked at the audience.
"According to the customs of our Miao region, before getting engaged, we must first exchange birth dates and times to determine compatibility."
"I've already had a fortune teller analyze Nianzhen and Xiaoyin's birth charts."
"A match made in heaven, bringing great fortune."
A sparse clapping sounded from the audience.
Lan Cailing didn't mind and continued:
"Next, let's exchange tokens."
She looked at Lan Nianzhen and Yin Jian.
The two men stepped forward.
Lan Nianzhen took out a jade pendant from her bosom.
The jade pendant is small, with a warm and smooth surface, and is carved with a butterfly with outstretched wings.
That's the totem of the Miao region, the Butterfly Mother, symbolizing life and reproduction.
She handed the jade pendant to Yin Jian.
Yin Jian took it with both hands and carefully put it away.
Then, Yin Jian also took something out of his pocket.
It is a gold hairpin, with a butterfly in outstretched wings at the head and a peony pattern on the body.
Yin Jian handed the gold hairpin to Lan Nianzhen.
Lan Nianzhen took it and put it on her head.
Below the stage, Li Jun and Jin Hao stood up as they watched this scene unfold.
At that moment, thunderous applause erupted.
Lan Cailing's smile deepened as she watched this scene.
"it is good."
she says.
"Exchange of tokens complete, ceremony concluded."
"From today onwards, Nianzhen and Xiaoyin are engaged."
"Let's wait a while, then pick a good day to officially get married."
The voice just fell.
boom!
A beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from a wooden building at the edge of the square!
That's the building where Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen live!
The light was dazzling, with gold and silver colors intertwined, soaring straight into the sky!
Everyone was stunned.
They looked up at the beam of light shooting into the sky.
A beam of light shot up a hundred meters into the sky, within which a delicate wooden carving could be vaguely seen.
But before anyone could get a closer look, the wood carving suddenly exploded!
Transformed into countless specks of light, drifting and scattering in all directions.
Followed by.
The sky has changed.
The once clear sky is now filled with countless colorful clouds gathering from all directions.
Red, yellow, purple, blue...
The various colors intertwine, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
The colorful clouds gathered more and more, growing thicker and thicker.
Then, it started rolling.
It begins to coalesce.
finally……
Two enormous phantom figures appeared in the sky!
There were two people.
A person holding a lotus flower.
A hand holding a round box.
They stood side by side, smiling, looking down at the newlyweds below.
The Two Immortals of Harmony and Union!
