"Okay, from now on, I will call Master Shi as Fellow Taoist Shi."
The holy aunt smiled and changed her words.
“So good”
Baiyue nodded calmly.
The saintly aunt cast her eyes on Cao Yi and spoke without hesitation of praise, "Even Taoist Master Shi can subdue him. Taoist Master Cao is truly a dragon and a phoenix among monks."
"No, the holy lady is too praised. The poor Taoist is just able to talk to fellow Taoist Shi."
Cao Yi answered very modestly.
"The Taoist priest is humble..."
The holy aunt praised her again.
Even though the holy aunt is hiding in the Nuwa Temple and can't come out, she looks like a big otaku, and her communication skills are inferior to those of the wine and swordsman.
A few people were chatting happily when a burst of footsteps came. Not long after, a group of people walked in.
The leader was the Witch King, followed by Zhao Ling'er, Li Xiaoyao, Elder Shi, Nanman General, Lin Yueru, Liu Jinyuan, Tang Yu Xiaobao, Anu, it can be said that all the important people were present.
"Taoist Master, on behalf of the millions of people in Nanzhao Kingdom, I would like to thank you for your life-saving grace."
The Witch King came to Cao Yi in three steps and bowed respectfully.
He already knew what Cao Yi had done in Nanzhao during this period through the mouths of his subordinates, Zhao Ling'er and others. In addition to being shocked, he was still shocked.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite, this is what a poor Taoist should do."
Cao Yi returned the gift politely.
"I heard that the Taoist priest is planning to establish a religion, and Xiao Wang has prepared some gifts."
The Witch King took out a gift list from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
Cao Yi took it and opened it generously. As expected, there were some land deeds, gold, silver, copper coins, cloth, and other rare items.
"The king has spent money"
Cao Yi handed over again.
"Don't dare"
The Witch King quickly avoided it.
As a person at the top of mortal power, he is very aware of how big the gap is between himself and Cao Yi.
In the eyes of countless ordinary people, he is unattainable, but in the eyes of Cao Yi, he is no different from ordinary people.
Cao Yi glanced at Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao, whose cheeks were a little red, and said, "It seems that the king's intention is more than that."
The Witch King gave a rare laugh and said: "Yes, Xiao Wang came this time. In addition to expressing his gratitude, he also hoped that the Taoist Master would preside over the marriage of the young girl. Although they had married once before on Fairy Island, their parents were not married. Being present was not formal enough, so Xiao Wang decided to make it a replacement."
"It's not appropriate for a Taoist priest to preside over the marriage."
Cao Yi had never been married to a host before, so he subconsciously chose to refuse.
"I heard from my little girl that you are half her master, and you are the great benefactor of Nanzhao Kingdom. No one is more suitable to officiate the wedding than you."
The Witch King asked sincerely.
On the one hand, he desperately wanted to get closer to Cao Yi, the world's greatest master. On the one hand, he was indeed grateful to Cao Yi. He solved the water monster and the sword hanging over Nanzhao disappeared. He subdued Bai Yue and the sword hanging over his head disappeared.
"Taoist Priest, please preside over the marriage between me and brother Xiaoyao."
Zhao Ling'er pulled Cao Yi's sleeve and asked playfully.
"Taoist Master, please"
Li Xiaoyao also pleaded.
Speaking of this, Cao Yi couldn't refuse anymore and nodded and said: "Okay."
The Witch King, Zhao Ling'er, and Li Xiaoyao all showed happy expressions.
"It's great that lovers finally get married."
Anu clapped his hands and applauded.
Zhao Ling'er turned back to look at Anu, thought of something, and said with a smile: "Anu, why don't we get married together?"
"marry"
Anu glanced at Tang Yu secretly, and her face turned red.
"Tang Yu, are you willing to marry Anu?"
Zhao Ling'er asked Tang Yu, who was standing with Anu, with a smile.
Although they had not been together for long, she already knew this young and shy young minister very well, and she believed that Tang Yu would agree to this marriage 100% of the time.
Sure enough, Tang Yu said without hesitation: "I am willing to marry Anu."
"Tang Yu, Xiaobao, I am also willing to marry you."
Anu's happy eyes almost narrowed into a thin line.
She had liked Tang Yu since she was a child. If Elder Shi, who didn't like her, hadn't blocked her, she might have gotten married to Tang Yu.
"Okay, let's go together"
Zhao Ling'er hasn't finished speaking yet.
He was interrupted by a heavy cold snort.
Immediately afterwards, Elder Shi walked out of the crowd with a stern face and said categorically: "I do not agree with this marriage."
"Elder Shi, Anu and Tang Yu are in love with each other. They"
Zhao Ling'er hasn't finished speaking yet.
He was interrupted again by Elder Shi, "For other things, if the princess speaks, I will definitely accept the order. I will never agree to the marriage of Tang Yu and Anu."
Seeing that her words had no effect, Zhao Ling'er subconsciously pulled Cao Yi's sleeve, "Taoist Priest? Can you say something?"
In her opinion, what a person who even her father admires must be effective.
"Elder Shi, why don't you agree with Anu and Tang Yu's marriage?"
Cao Yi asked.
Elder Shi sneered: "This matter has nothing to do with Taoist Priest."
This old man is quite arrogant.
Cao Yi was speechless.
"Father, please help Anu and I, we truly love each other."
Tang Yu begged.
Bang, a loud slap hit Tang Yu's face, leaving a bright red slap mark.
"Kneel down"
Elder Shi shouted.
"Father, please help Anu and I, we truly love each other."
Tang Yu didn't give up and begged again.
Bang, another slap, knocking Tang Yu to the ground.
This made Anu so angry that he said angrily: "Dashigu, why do you beat someone?"
"You two bastards have brought great embarrassment to our Nanzhao Kingdom. You think I don't know about your secret tryst last night."
Elder Shi cursed angrily.
Unmarried men and women doing some unspeakable things were nothing in the open-minded Nanzhao country.
But in the eyes of Elder Shi, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism in the Central Plains, it was treasonous.
When such a private matter was told in public, Anu became angry and said, "Old man, what are you talking about?"
"I did it and I was afraid that people would say that I was born of a mother but not a son of a mother. I was shameless."
Elder Shi's scolding was very unpleasant.
Snapped! Snapped!
Elder Shi had a slap mark on both sides of his face at the same time.
"Shi, do you dare to scold Anu again?"
"As a veteran of three dynasties, how shameless is it to insult a child in public?"
Holy aunt, the Wine Sword Immortal scolded angrily.
From Elder Shi's attitude towards Anu, the two of them can fully imagine what life Anu lived before.
"You guys, you guys"
Elder Shi was confused by the two people who suddenly took action.
Jiujianxian and Anu were father and daughter, and only a few people knew about it, not including him.
Shenggu and Anu are mother and daughter, and only Cao Yi, Shenggu, and Jiujianxian know about it.
"You are brave"
Elder Shi became furious after reacting.
He was the only one who taught others, not others.
He subconsciously wanted to take action against the Jiu Sword Immortal, but remembering the fame of the Jiu Sword Immortal, he decisively pounced on the Holy Aunt.
Oh, a hand pressed on Elder Shi's shoulder.
This person was none other than Cao Yi, who had been watching the excitement for a long time.
If he didn't take action, Elder Shi would most likely be beaten by the Holy Aunt and the Jiujianxian couple. Afterwards, he would definitely commit suicide in shame and anger.
The love between Tang Yu and Anu will also turn into tragedy.
He left immediately. Cao Yi didn't want to see this sudden appearance.
"Let me go, this has nothing to do with you..."
Elder Shi struggled hard with his face ashen.
It's a pity that his cultivation level is too far different from Cao Yi's, so his efforts are completely useless.
"Elder Shi, that's enough!"
At the critical moment, the Witch King spoke.
To him, Cao Yi and Jiujianxian took action. The reason for this matter was no longer important.
"Your Majesty, Sir"
Elder Shi was very unwilling.
"Don't you even listen to Gu?"
The Witch King's voice suddenly increased several times.
Elder Shi, who was angry and looked down upon no one, lowered his head.
