Chapter 580: Wang Changyue's Wedding

The people present exchanged bewildered glances. They didn't know Wang Ruyan's identity, but they could confirm she was a cultivator and very likely Wang Ping'an's mother. If it had been anyone else, they might not have been so angry.

Wang Changsheng also dispelled his invisibility art, revealing himself. He looked at Wang Tai and said with a frown:

"Wang Tai, didn't I tell you to take over Ping'an's position and manage this family well?"

He had thought that a single word from him would ensure Wang Tai managed the family properly. Now, it seemed he had underestimated the allure of wealth to mortals. He couldn't help but wonder if, after his death, the Wang family cultivators would quarrel fiercely and even fight over what he left behind.

Wang Changsheng wasn't worrying needlessly; it was highly possible. Mortals needed wealth to live better, and cultivators needed cultivation resources to go further on the path to immortality. There wasn't much difference between the two, as immortals originated from mortals.

Wang Tai stepped forward two paces, looking troubled. He said: "To answer, Honored Immortal, my seventh brother, ninth brother, eleventh aunt, and fifteenth aunt all refuse to obey me. They are trying to divide the estate that Father painstakingly accumulated. We beg Honored Immortal to preside over this matter."

"Honored Immortal, please don't listen to his nonsense. He wants to take over all of Father's property and even drive us out. That's why we don't obey him."

Wang Ruyan waved her hand and instructed: "Enough. I don't care who is right or wrong. Wang Tai will take over this household. Any descendants are entitled to a share of the property Ping'an left behind. The immediate priority now is to handle Ping'an's funeral arrangements and choose a good burial plot for him."

"Yes, yes, yes, we will certainly comply."

"Take me to Ping'an's residence. We will handle his funeral arrangements immediately."

Wang Tai readily agreed. He personally led Wang Ruyan and Wang Changsheng to Wang Ping'an's residence, then discreetly withdrew.

In the study, Wang Ruyan found many poetry collections and calligraphy scrolls left by Wang Ping'an. Their content either expressed longing for cultivation or gratitude for his parents' kindness.

Seeing these contents, Wang Ruyan's eyes reddened. Tears once again wet her cheeks.

She and Wang Changsheng stayed at Wang Ping'an's residence for a night. Wang Tai and the others dared not approach.

The next morning, Wang Ruyan and Wang Changsheng returned to Green Lotus Villa. They had Wang Qingkai dispatch people to handle Wang Ping'an's funeral arrangements, which resolved a matter that had weighed heavily on her heart.

To alleviate Wang Ruyan's emotions, Wang Changsheng stayed by her side, comforting her. He brought their two great-grandsons, and Wang Ruyan played with them for a few days. Only then did she gradually emerge from her grief.

"My dear, there's something I need to tell you."

Wang Changsheng recounted the matter between Wang Changyue and Ye Lin. He intended to hold a wedding for Ye Lin and Wang Changyue to console their parents' spirits.

"This is wonderful! If he becomes our brother-in-law, he will genuinely help us with matters in the future. However, we cannot make a grand affair of it, nor can we publicize it. It would be too unfair to Changyue."

Wang Changsheng sighed and said: "There's no other way. Ye Lin's identity is too sensitive; we must be careful. In the future, if there's an opportunity, I plan to take him to the South Sea."

No one could guarantee that the Nine Underworld Sect wouldn't come looking for him. It would be better to send Ye Lin to the South Sea to hide.

Wang Ruyan nodded and said: "Changyue is not young anymore. Let's choose an auspicious date and hold the wedding for them! Before Mother passed away, she was always concerned about Changyue's marriage. With Changyue married, we can consider that we've given an account to Father and Mother."

Three days later, at Red Leaf Ridge.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in the main seats. Wang Changyue and Ye Lin, dressed in wedding attire, bowed and offered tea to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

"Ye Lin, I have only this one sister. I hope you treat her well. If you ever wrong my sister, I will not spare you."

Wang Changsheng spoke sternly. Then he removed the restrictions on Ye Lin's body.

"My feelings for Changyue are genuine, rest assured, Brother-in-law. If Sister-in-law intends to attempt Core Formation, I can help set up a third-tier formation to withstand the minor lightning tribulation."

Ye Lin promised solemnly, his tone sincere.

"That would be excellent. I will help you collect spirit medicine to replenish vital energy and blood. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you any further."

After saying this, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan departed.

Ye Lin lifted Wang Changyue's red veil. His gaze towards Wang Changyue was full of affection.

"Changyue, trust me, I will be good to you, always."

Wang Changyue blushed, nodded, and lowered her head.

Before the marriage, Wang Ruyan had shown her some erotic paintings. The moment she thought of their contents, her ears burned.

Ye Lin took Wang Changyue's hands. They walked onto the teleportation array and teleported back to Green Lotus Villa.

"My dear, where are the ingredients? Quickly take them out, I'll cook you a delicious dish."

"Cook a delicious dish?" Wang Changyue was slightly stunned, utterly confused.

Ye Lin smiled and said dotingly: "Didn't I tell you? If we got married, I'd cook delicious food for you every day. I remember every word I've ever said to you."

Wang Changyue was deeply moved by these words. She took out the ingredients and let Ye Lin cook the meal.

It was Ye Lin's first time cooking, and the food was burnt. He had to cook again from scratch.

After several failures, Wang Changyue couldn't bear to watch any longer. She took matters into her own hands and cooked several delicious dishes. The couple sat in the stone pavilion, eating and chatting.

"My dear, how many children do you think we should have?"

Ye Lin looked at Wang Changyue with a playful smile, teasing her.

"However many you like is fine."

Wang Changyue said, blushing.

"As long as they're our children, I'll love them all. Alright, we've eaten our fill; it's time for the real business."

Ye Lin picked up Wang Changyue by the waist. He then walked into the house.

A single moment of springtime night is worth a thousand pieces of gold; the intimate details of their night were not for others to know.

The next day, Wang Changyue brought Ye Lin to Wang Changsheng's residence. Ye Lin personally set up three sets of third-tier defensive formations to assist Wang Ruyan in her attempt to form her core.

"Husband, I intend to enter seclusion to attempt Core Formation. Please take care of Qingjing and the others. If my seclusion lasts too long and Qingyang doesn't live to see me emerge, please help me see Qingyang off one last time, and ask him not to blame me, his mother."

Wang Ruyan sighed. Wang Qingyang only had seven or eight years of lifespan left. Attempting Core Formation was not easy. Some might attract a minor lightning tribulation in five or six years, but if one's luck was poor, it could take ten or even twenty years.

"Cultivate with peace of mind! I will take good care of them."

Wang Changsheng agreed. He and Wang Ruyan lit an incense stick for Wang Ping'an together. Then, Wang Ruyan entered seclusion.

This time, Wang Ping'an's death deeply affected Wang Ruyan. Music originates from reality and can reflect human emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hatred, and desire.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Not long after, profound musical notes appeared within the secret chamber. Immortal melodies resonated, forming a beautiful tune.

After Wang Ruyan entered seclusion, Wang Changsheng continued to refine proto-magical treasures.

Besides three Core Formation spiritual items, three sets of third-tier defensive formations, and two defensive proto-magical treasures, Wang Ruyan's success rate for Core Formation was very high.

Despite this, Wang Changsheng was still somewhat worried. Success wasn't guaranteed merely by having enough Core Formation spiritual items.
