Chapter 225 Wedding
Feng Fan returned to the sect and went to find Elder Jiang. The moment he stepped inside the White Crow Sect's barrier, Elder Jiang appeared in front of him.
Elder Jiang looked at him with mixed emotions. "Good job, Feng Fan."
Feng Fan smiled at the praise. "If you're happy with my performance, how about some spiritual qi stones? High-grade ones, preferably."
A vein pulsed on Elder Jiang's forehead, and all the respect he had for Feng Fan vanished instantly. "Are high-grade spiritual qi stones like cabbages you can find on the street? I don't have any!"
Feng Fan sighed dramatically. "I made so many enemies to help the White Crow Sect win the competition and secure the qi stone mines…"
Before he could finish, Elder Jiang threw a space sack filled with mid-grade qi stones at him. Feng Fan caught it mid-air and quickly stored it in his space ring.
"Take it and go cultivate. Stay quiet inside the sect for a few years, and don't cause any more trouble!" With that, Elder Jiang left as quickly as he had arrived.
Feng Fan shook his head. "Did he come here just to tell me not to cause trouble? As if I'm the one looking for it… I'm clearly the victim here."
Feng Fan went to his quarters and decided to cultivate peacefully for the next few days. It didn't take long for news from the Dao Seeking School to reach him. Su Xiaoli's father, Qian Niu, had abdicated the throne and disappeared, along with his first wife.
The Qian family begged for the Dao Seeking School's forgiveness and installed a new emperor. As for Su Xiaoli's mother, perhaps because Qian Niu didn't want to anger Su Xiaoli or feared the Dao Seeking School's wrath, she had been left unharmed.
She was found imprisoned in the palace dungeon and was freed.
News of the destruction of the Blue Dragon Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect spread throughout the Qian Empire, and Feng Fan's name became even more infamous.
Fearing what Feng Fan might do to them, the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Blue Wyvern Sect disbanded overnight. Deng Yi, the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, disappeared, and his whereabouts remained unknown.
Feng Fan received the news with satisfaction. 'Great, now I can cultivate in peace. If those bastards ever show up again, I'll crush them with a single slap.'
He wasn't the least bit worried about their revenge.

Two weeks after the Bloodsucker Demon Sect had been dealt with, Su Xiaoli waited at the White Crow Sect's eastern gate. She wore a white Taoist robe with floral patterns.
Though she smiled, a closer look would reveal the anxiety hidden beneath it.
"Xiao'er," a gentle voice called out. It was the person Su Xiaoli had been waiting for.
"Mother!" Su Xiaoli rushed forward and hugged her tightly, her eyes filling with tears.
Su Liqiu smiled and hugged her daughter back, one hand gently stroking Su Xiaoli's hair.
"It's okay, my baby. I'm here with you now."
After what felt like a blink of an eye to Su Xiaoli, they finally pulled apart.
"Mother, I—" Su Xiaoli hesitated, unsure how to say what was on her mind.
Su Liqiu gave her a knowing smile. "You're not planning to come back with me, are you?"
Su Xiaoli nodded.

"It's okay. Stay here. But that boy Feng Fan better take good care of you, or else…"
Su Xiaoli blushed. "Mom!"
Su Liqiu chuckled. She knew exactly how a girl in love looked—after all, she had been one herself.
"I'm going to see your Uncle Duan. We'll talk later," she said, her eyes filled with love and hope.

"Did you hear the news? Elder Duan is getting married!" a White Crow Sect disciple exclaimed.
"Yeah, who would've thought that old bachelor would finally settle down? I heard he's marrying the head of a powerful family from the capital," replied another disciple, who looked a bit disheveled.
"It's the leader of the Su family! The family that been staying here with us."
"Wow, Elder Duan really aimed high. Isn't she stunning? I saw her from a distance, and…"
"Hey, you two, stop gossiping!" Feng Fan interrupted, giving them a stern look.
The two disciples turned around, and when they saw Feng Fan, they nearly panicked. They quickly bowed and begged for forgiveness.
If there was a list of people not to cross in the Qian Empire, Feng Fan would be at the very top.
News of his deeds over the past four years had spread like wildfire. Those who had crossed him didn't end up well…
Feng Fan shook his head and told them to leave. Then, he quickly flew toward the main peak.
Dozens of meters away from the main building, a beautiful outdoor setting had been prepared for the wedding. The area was decorated with vibrant flowers and flowing ribbons.
A small stage had been set up, surrounded by rows of seats for guests, with a long red carpet in the middle. The natural scenery of the mountains and trees added to the charm, making it a perfect spot for such a joyous occasion.
A beautiful figure waited outside the venue, holding a bouquet of roses. Her expression was clearly displeased, and Feng Fan knew exactly why.
"Sorry, Xiao'er… am I too late?"
Su Xiaoli's eyebrows knitted together. "You're half an hour late! How could you be late for your own master's wedding?!"
Feng Fan scratched the back of his head, unsure how to respond. His silence only made Su Xiaoli roll her eyes.
"Let's go already!"
She grabbed Feng Fan's hand and pulled him down the red carpet leading to the couple.
Su Liqiu chuckled as she watched Su Xiaoli drag Feng Fan along, but Elder Duan's face was filled with annoyance.
"This troublesome disciple!" he muttered under his breath.
The ceremony began shortly after. Elder Duan and Su Liqiu stood at the center, surrounded by friends and family. The atmosphere was warm and joyful, with laughter and cheers filling the air.
Feng Fan couldn't help but smile, it was a moment of happiness for everyone.
Su Xiaoli noticed Feng Fan's smile and blushed. Leaning closer, she whispered in his ear, "When are we going to have our wedding, Fan'er?"
Feng Fan's eyes widened slightly, caught off guard by her question. He glanced at her, seeing the hopeful glint in her eyes.
A soft smile tugged at his lips as he replied, "Whenever you're ready, Xiao'er. But let's make sure it's a day even more special than this one."
Su Xiaoli's cheeks turned a deeper shade of red, but she couldn't hide her smile. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze, her heart fluttering at his words.
