Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2784: Chapter 2785: A Wedding Simpler Than Simple

Fangwai Town

As a small town under the jurisdiction of the Ling’an Domain, it’s considered the most remote of the remote lands.

Aside from being relatively close to Ren’an City, there is nothing special about this place.

Some residents here have never left this tiny world their entire lives.

But even in such an isolated place, people here have an innate admiration for literature and talent.

So, even though this town is obscure, it’s still home to a rather luxurious academy that strives to cultivate talent.

However, because Fangwai Town is so small, despite years of effort, it hasn’t achieved much success.

Even the residents think it will still take a long time to see their academy achieve accolades.

But surprises often come unexpectedly.

When reports of what happened at the Ling’an cultural event reached here, little Fangwai Town was in an uproar.

Not for anything else, but because this time Fangwai Town was finally more than just a backdrop.

On the contrary, a local scholar even recited a poem at the event, and although he didn’t win, it was a remarkable breakthrough for Fangwai Town.

Under these circumstances, when Zhuo Benzheng and Yao Yachao returned to Fangwai Town with a group of scholars, they were met with a hero’s welcome.

The entire populace of Fangwai Town poured out, standing on both sides of the road to welcome the returning scholars.

This grand spectacle took Zhuo Benzheng and others by surprise.

Yet there was no doubting the enthusiasm of the people; they were quickly ushered into the town, followed by a three-day celebration throughout Fangwai Town.

During these three days, countless wealthy families sent matchmakers, especially to Zhuo Benzheng, the leader of the town’s scholars, who received the most marriage proposals.

But without exception, Zhuo Benzheng declined them all.

While outsiders were baffled by Zhuo Benzheng’s actions, news spread.

It turns out that when Zhuo Benzheng went to Ling’an City to join the event, he encountered a woman, and they fell in love at first sight. He then brought her back and was about to marry her soon.

Upon hearing this, the wealthy families who were considering marriage prospects sighed privately and abandoned their thoughts.

What they didn’t know was that this matter caused a severe conflict between Zhuo Benzheng and his parents.

Originally, Zhuo Benzheng’s father was very pleased with his achievements at the cultural event, but he never expected him to bring back a woman without permission, insisting on marrying her.

This naturally infuriated his father.

And this rage peaked when it was revealed that the woman Zhuo Benzheng brought back was originally from a brothel.

The father and son were almost on the verge of cutting ties over this.

It was only through the mediations of Yao Yachao and Wu Zizhang that the matter was reluctantly settled.

But Zhuo’s father made it clear that while he wouldn’t stop Zhuo Benzheng from marrying this woman of the dust, he wouldn’t help organize a grand wedding.

Everything would proceed with the simplest process possible.

Although Zhuo Benzheng felt guilty about this, Qie Weilan laughed and consoled him.

"Benzheng, don’t worry about these traditional ceremonies. I’m marrying you, and all those superficial things don’t matter!"

Despite Qie Weilan’s words, there remained a knot in Zhuo Benzheng’s heart.

After all, what man doesn’t want to give his woman a grand wedding?

But with things as they were, he had no other choice but to muster his spirits and begin the wedding preparations.

As Zhuo’s father said, everything proceeded with the simplest process, simplifying wherever possible.

Though Qie Weilan said nothing, Zhuo Benzheng’s sense of guilt grew increasingly strong.

Finally!

The time arrived on the eve of the wedding day.

Since Qie Weilan had nowhere else to go, she had been staying at the Zhuo Mansion.

At this moment, the two sat facing each other, with just a single oil lamp flickering in the room, mirroring Zhuo Benzheng’s dim mood.

In contrast, Qie Weilan was much more open-minded, lightly resting her head on Zhuo Benzheng’s shoulder.

"Are you still upset?"

Zhuo Benzheng shook his head, "No, I’m not angry!"

"Come on, I know you; when something’s on your mind, you don’t talk!"

Qie Weilan lifted her head and looked at Zhuo Benzheng with sparkling eyes.

After a moment of silence, Zhuo Benzheng said, "I just feel sorry for you!"

"Enough with the mumbling, why keep dwelling on it when I’ve already said I don’t care? Why hang on to it?" Qie Weilan said nonchalantly.

Zhuo Benzheng hesitated and finally sighed deeply.

The atmosphere in the room became quite oppressive.

Qie Weilan leaned on Zhuo Benzheng’s shoulder again, softly saying.

"Do you think Mr. Xue will come to drink at our wedding?"

"I don’t know, I sent a message as soon as we started the wedding preparations, but Dragon Tiger Mountain is thousands of miles away; the messenger might not reach him before the wedding ends!"

Saying this, Zhuo Benzheng started to regret again.

"In the end, the wedding date was too rushed!"

"Actually, that’s a good thing because I’m already eager to marry you. Then, every day when I wake up, you’ll be the first thing I see!"

As she spoke, Qie Weilan’s gaze was full of tenderness, almost melting away.

Zhuo Benzheng was infinitely moved, "Weilan..."

He reached out emotionally to embrace Qie Weilan, but she pushed him away with a smile.

"It’s too late now; tomorrow is the wedding day. We must not be late for the hours, so you should hurry back, Zhuo, and I should go!"

Since Qie Weilan didn’t have a family of her own, for the sake of following the wedding customs, she temporarily stayed at Wu Zizhang’s place tonight.

Wu Zizhang’s sister would greet Qie Weilan, making it easier.

A surge of guilt flooded Zhuo Benzheng’s heart again, and Qie Weilan seemingly noticed his thoughts and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Enough, there’s nothing to say. I’m just a woman of the dust; it’s normal for your father to not accept me. As long as you’re true to me, I don’t care about anything else!"

Zhuo Benzheng took a deep breath, "Don’t worry, Weilan, as a scholar, I have this resolve! From now on, I will be true to you with all my heart. If I ever betray this, heaven..."

Before Zhuo Benzheng could finish his oath, Qie Weilan tenderly reached out her hand to cover his mouth.

"Don’t say anything; with these words, I could die without regret!"

Qie Weilan left.

Accompanied by Wu Zizhang’s sister, she disappeared into the vast night in a small sedan.

Though tomorrow was the wedding day, Zhuo Mansion was cold and quiet today, with only two red lanterns at the door indicating what was about to happen here.
