The two looked at the scene outside the hall and were not overly surprised.
To tell the truth, even Gu Changge himself did not expect that Liu Qingqing's visit this time was not to break off the engagement but to express her gratitude!
"Senior Sister, the Gu Family is too oppressive, why should we even stay here?"
"Exactly! First, they just sent a Steward of the Sky-controlling Realm to deal with us, and now that we're at the Gu Family residence, they still show no respect to our Heavenly Cold Sect!"
"Once we return to the Sect, we will definitely report this matter and ask the Sect to support Senior Sister and fight for justice on her behalf!"
The disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect were already filled with anger and seeing their Senior Sister come out, it was clear she had explained everything to that worthless person!
Since that was the case, there was no need to stay at the Gu Family residence any longer!
If they stayed any longer, they might not be able to stop themselves from taking action!
"Qingqing, is everything settled then?" The Elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect were much calmer than those young lads and simply asked gently.
As for the Gu Family members, they also looked towards Liu Qingqing, not knowing what this ungrateful woman had said to Changge—hopefully, she hadn't misled the boy!
"Yes."
"The two of us have decided to get married, as for the date, let the Gu Family decide."
At this moment, Liu Qingqing returned to her usual aloof demeanor and spoke without a hint of emotion in her voice.
The Elder of the Heavenly Cold Sect instinctively raised an eyebrow and said, "Why should their family decide? Just tear up the marriage agreement, and we can leave."
However, he suddenly paused mid-sentence.
The disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect, with their mouths agape, stared at their Senior Sister, stunned. They hadn't misheard, had they?
Even the Gu Family, who initially looked at Liu Qingqing with disdain, now looked puzzled.
Getting married?
What was going on? What kind of scheme had the Liu Family and the Heavenly Cold Sect come up with?
"Qingqing, did you just say... getting married?" The Sixth Elder of the Heavenly Cold Sect asked uncertainly after a moment of daze.
Liu Qingqing calmly nodded and said no more.
This was a matter between her and Gu Changge; naturally, it should be decided between the two of them.
What others thought would not change her mind.
"Senior Sister, are you confused?"
"What exactly did Gu Changge do to you, Senior Sister?"
"Did he use the power of the Liu Family to threaten you?"
"Senior Sister, don't worry, our Heavenly Cold Sect isn't afraid of the Gu Family. We can simply ask the Supreme Elder to decide!"
"There's no need to submit to this worthless person!"
At this moment, the disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect completely exploded, their eyes boring into Gu Changge, convinced that this young man had threatened their Senior Sister!
But just as one disciple finished speaking, Gu Changge still looked indifferent, and Liu Qingqing raised her hand and flung out an ice crystal-conjured Flying Sword, which shot straight in front of the disciple who had called Gu Changge worthless.
Looking at the ice crystal-made Flying Sword almost touching his eyeball, the disciple couldn't help but swallow hard...
"I don't want to hear such talk anymore." Liu Qingqing saw that the Heavenly Cold Sect disciples had quieted down, then waved her hand to disperse the Flying Sword.
Over the years, she had had enough of such talk in the Heavenly Cold Sect!
Now that she had confirmed the marriage, it was even less possible to let this vile speech continuously attack her nominally Husband!
"Qingqing... why put yourself through this?"
The Elder of the Heavenly Cold Sect sighed, but upon meeting Liu Qingqing's gaze, he knew that it was pointless to say more.
Liu Qingqing, now one of the competitors for the title of Saintess and the most promising candidate, didn't allow these elders to impose any forceful demands on her.
"A thousand years later, I hope to ascend through Tribulation without guilt," Liu Qingqing said to the elders, providing her own reason.
Upon hearing this, the people of the Heavenly Cold Sect fell silent.
Although they were reluctant, once Liu Qingqing had made up her mind, none of them could change that fact.
Yet, when they looked towards the Gu Family, especially when they looked at Gu Changge, the anger in their eyes did not diminish.
But in front of Senior Sister, coupled with her earlier stance, they didn't dare continue speaking out of turn!
On the other hand, the people of the Gu Family were exchanging looks.
Following Liu Qingqing's move to stop the Heavenly Cold Sect people from slandering Changge, they could no longer see through the situation.
In terms of fighting and confrontation, the Gu Family was certainly not afraid of the Heavenly Cold Sect.
But when it came to schemes and tricks, the Gu Family was not adept. Could this be some new trick?
Gu Zhan gave a look, and Gu Sanfeng immediately understood, beckoning his great-nephew to come over.
"How did you manage this?" Gu Sanfeng asked softly.
Gu Changge did not lower his voice, stating openly, "She said I was good-looking, and it was love at first sight for both of us, so the marriage is not being called off."
To say that, not only did it infuriate the people from the Heavenly Cold Sect, making their faces turn red with anger and veins bulge in their necks, but even the people of the Gu Family couldn't help but twitch their eyes, and Gu Sanfeng rolled his eyes.
"..." Liu Qingqing's normally detached expression turned slightly pink, but fortunately, she quickly regained her composure.
Even so, she couldn't help but give a glance to that shameless man, the words he spoke as if she was craving his body!
"Great-grandfather, when do you think would be a suitable day for the wedding?" At this moment, Gu Changge was not concerned about these things; he just wanted to settle the marriage as soon as possible, not willing to wait a single day!
But before Gu Zhan could reply, an elder from the Heavenly Cold Sect interjected with a frown, "This matter is of great importance. I must report it to the Sect."
A candidate for Saintess having a Daoist Couple was unprecedented, and this was a rule known by the entire Heavenly Cold Sect!
"I will explain it to the Sect Master after returning to the Sect," Liu Qingqing interrupted the elder who was about to report to the Sect.
"But..."
"No need to say more, my mind is made up."
At this point, the elder from the Heavenly Cold Sect could only keep silent.
Gu Zhan observed Liu Qingqing, and after a moment of contemplation, spoke, "If that is the case, the wedding can be held in a month."
"But, girl from the Liu Family, are you sure?"
"I need to warn you, if we in the Gu Family find out you have any ulterior motives, this will not end well."
This outcome was indeed beyond the expectations of everyone present.
" I have thought it through." Upon returning, I informed my Liu Family about this idea. Whether the wedding will be conducted according to the formalities or kept simple will be up to the Gu Family," Liu Qingqing nodded seriously.
Having said that, Gu Zhan spoke no more and with a wave of his hand, arranged for the people of the Heavenly Cold Sect to stay in several different courtyards of the Gu Family.
Liu Qingqing also went with the people of the Heavenly Cold Sect to the courtyards.
Both sides understood each other well; at this moment, they needed some time alone to figure out what exactly was happening!
Even Gu Zhan immediately arranged for someone to go to the Liu Family to find out the current situation there.
After the arrangements for the accommodations of the people of the Heavenly Cold Sect were made, the people of the Gu Family dispersed, but Gu Sanfeng took his great-nephew to his own courtyard.
Before he could voice his myriad of doubts, Gu Changge took out a Jade Bottle and handed it over.
"Here, Uncle, take a look. Is this Elixir the Soul-Shaping Pill that you mentioned could allow me to cultivate anew?"
