Chapter 459 The Engagement Ceremony in Progress.
The next day, while the Eight Eccentrics were cultivating in the inn,
"Knock, knock, knock..." Shen'er suddenly knocked on the door, then stopped abruptly, his expression slightly changed.
"Shen'er, what's wrong?"
The Eight Eccentrics awoke, and upon seeing Shen'er, their gazes turned to Xuan Mo. Xuan Mo frowned slightly, knowing that Shen'er's visit must have something to say.
"Brother Mo, Sect Master Ning sent someone to say you need to prepare. The engagement ceremony will begin in a little while."
Hearing this, the eight stopped cultivating. Then, Dai Mubai and the other six focused their gazes on Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong, their eyes sparkling with envy.
Xiao Wu, in particular, revealed a hint of resentment in her eyes, making Tang San, who noticed, feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong, however, showed excitement and anticipation. After all, they had waited five whole years for the promise, and now, as they were taking their first step, how could they not be excited and expectant?
"Shenger, thank you."
"It's nothing. It's just…" At this moment, Xuanmo also noticed Shenger's strange behavior. Seeing his hesitant expression, he knew something else was going on, so he asked, "Shenger, has something else happened?"
"Yes, something has indeed happened." Shenger said, taking an envelope from his soul tool. "It's possible that Ryder and the other two won't be able to attend your engagement with Rongrong."
Xuanmo raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the letter.
In fact, after hunting for the soul ring and setting the engagement, he had written to Ryder and the other two in the Kingdom of Barak, inviting them to his engagement with Ning Rongrong. He thought that Ryder and the other two would definitely attend, but unexpectedly, he received this letter on the day of the engagement.
"Could it be that something happened to Ryder and the others?"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar stepped forward, their faces serious as they looked at the envelope. Given their personalities, they wouldn't miss Xuanmo's celebratory occasion.
So, the only possibility was that something had happened.
"I don't know, nothing is certain yet."
Xuanmo took the envelope from Shenger and, without hesitation, tore it open cleanly. He then began to ponder the contents…
"Brother Mo, what happened?"
Oscar, pushed aside by Ma Hongjun, couldn't see the letter. But when he noticed the slight change in Xuanmo's expression, he knew something was definitely wrong.
"Phew…"
Xuanmo finished reading the letter in one breath, frowning as he exhaled. "Looks like Ryder and the others are in trouble."
Everyone immediately perked up their ears.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong pushed aside Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who were crowding around Xuanmo, and came up behind him. Suddenly, two delicate arms, like white jade lotus roots, slowly wrapped around his neck. "What exactly happened?"
"This is a bit hard to say."
Xuan Mo pressed his temples, then released his soul power, and the letter in his hand trembled, instantly turning into ashes.
"It seems that after we finish our engagement ceremony, I have to go over there and see what's going on."
Saying this, he stood up. "But right now, we still need to complete Rongrong's engagement; this is a big deal."
Then, he took Ning Rongrong's hand and walked outside...
At dusk, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School castle was covered with a red carpet. Various kinds of flowers were planted around it, swaying gently in the breeze. Many guests strolled among them.
But the most eye-catching were Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong.
At this moment, Xuan Mo was wearing an open black robe, revealing a purple suit underneath, which hung down to his feet like a cape, making him look exceptionally handsome with his black hair. The nobility and restrained ferocity of the Taotie bloodline were also evident at this moment, making those with lower strength feel as if they were in an abyss. But when he held Ning Rongrong's hand, his face was filled with happiness and focus.
Ning Rongrong was also wearing an orange-yellow dress. Her noble face had a faint smile, making her look exceptionally charming and beautiful. When she leaned her head on Xuan Mo's shoulder, it was enviable.
"Brother Mo, Rongrong, congratulations."
At this time, the other six monsters, as well as Shenger and Xian Yun'er, came forward one after another, offering their blessings and presenting their gifts. Even Shrek's teachers were no exception.
"Boy Mo, congratulations on today."
Zhao Wuji hugged Xuan Mo and winked.
Flander also raised his wine glass, his words full of teasing about Xuan Mo's past.
"Looks like I came at the wrong time." At this moment, Ning Fengzhi's teasing voice suddenly rang out.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi and Xuan Mo's father and mother beside him were beaming with joy. Beside them, besides the two Title Douluos, Sword and Bone, were the First Prince Xue Qinghe and the newly arrived Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
"Sect Master Ning is too kind," Zhao Wuji and Flander smiled slightly.
Now that they were Title Douluos, they no longer needed to bow as before.
Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi and the three elders, Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong quickly approached, raising their wine cups and toasting the three elders, "Father-in-law (father-in-law and mother-in-law), we two would like to offer you three a toast."
"Good, good, good!"
Ning Fengzhi and the three elders exchanged glances, their faces beaming with undisguised joy.
After the toasts, the three elders departed to entertain the Heaven Dou Royal Family, teachers from Seven Treasures City and Shrek Academy, and guests from smaller, affiliated sects.
Thus, only the Eight Monsters, Xue Qinghe, and Dugu Bo remained.
The rather aloof Dugu Bo, upon arrival, immediately pulled Tang San aside.
Xue Qinghe then approached Xuan Mo and the others, congratulating Xuan Mo, "Brother Mo, congratulations on winning the heart of your beauty!" He then looked at Ning Rongrong, "Of course, we also want to congratulate our young lady."
"Brother Xue!"
Ning Rongrong looked at Xuan Mo with satisfaction at Xue Qinghe's teasing, then gave a coquettish laugh.
Xuan Mo, knowing Xue Qinghe's identity, maintained a forced smile upon seeing this.
Next, Xue Qinghe took out a box from his soul tool. Opening it revealed two gemstone rings inside. "These two rings are my congratulatory gift."
"This…" A hint of hesitation flashed in Xuan Mo's eyes, but seeing the light in Ning Rongrong's eyes, he changed his mind, "Then thank you, Brother Xue."
"Hahaha, you can accept them…"
