She raised her eyes and looked back at her master. "Master, I'm leaving."
Well, she had vented her anger. It was time to go.
"I'll send you back."
Chongming glanced at the shocked Goddess of Mount Cangshan and reached out his hand to Yaohua.
Yaohua gave him a grateful look.
Just now, although she had suppressed the Goddess of Mount Cangshan with various magical artifacts, the spiritual power she used to manipulate them was absorbed from the spiritual pills through the spiritual - gathering formation she had just learned. The remaining spiritual power she had was only enough for her to leave the Celestial Realm.
"Your Excellency, you can't leave!"
The Goddess of Mount Cangshan came to her senses. She pushed away the white python that had approached her and suddenly rushed forward, pulling Yaohua away.
Caught off guard, Yaohua almost fell to the ground.
Chongming supported her. His expression changed several times. Although he didn't take action to drive the woman away again, his face was as gloomy as a storm cloud, and anyone could tell that he was unhappy.
"Your Excellency, we have a marriage contract! You can't abandon me!"
Yaohua frowned slightly. Rumor had it that her master had almost become a Taoist partner with the Goddess of Mount Cangshan, but it was said that it didn't happen. Why was there suddenly a claim of a marriage contract now?
There was a faint ache in her heart, as if something was choking her.
If her master really had a marriage contract with the Goddess of Mount Cangshan, then the goddess had every reason to stop her master from sending her away.
When it came to this matter, her master's expression seemed to ease a lot. "Cangshan, the marriage contract was not fulfilled, and the marriage certificate has already been returned. Don't say such things anymore."
"No." Cangshan grabbed his wrist and stretched out her other hand. "The marriage certificate is still here. The marriage contract has been established. You should have married me long ago!"
There were her master's and Cangshan's names on it. Yaohua subconsciously let go of her master's hand.
Her chest felt stuffy, as if a stone was pressing on it.
Seeing was believing. It seemed that there was really a marriage contract between her master and the Goddess of Mount Cangshan.
"We should have gotten married long ago, Your Excellency, Chongming. Now, do you still want to hurt me for her?" Tears welled up in the Goddess of Mount Cangshan's eyes. "Don't make the same mistake again."
Her words made Yaohua extremely annoyed. She clearly hadn't done anything wrong, so why did the Goddess of Mount Cangshan say that she had bewitched her master?
Even if... even if she was her mistress, she shouldn't have said such things.
"The marriage certificate has already been returned to me." Chongming pursed his lips, and a rare look of confusion flashed across his eyes. "Where did the marriage certificate in your hand come from?"
"Your Excellency doubts me?" The Goddess of Mount Cangshan seemed to be greatly insulted. She unfolded the marriage certificate and showed all the words on it to Chongming. "Every word on it was written by the former God - Lord himself. How could I forge the former God - Lord's handwriting?"
Yaohua couldn't help but take a look at the marriage certificate.
Just one look and she was rooted to the spot, unable to move.
The specific handwriting left by a great power contained supreme laws and might. Her cultivation was not high enough. Just one look made her feel dizzy, as if she had fallen into a whirlpool of spiritual power. Sometimes she seemed to be in the vast starry sky, and sometimes in the ancient prehistoric era. She was in a daze and even forgot what year it was for a moment.
It was not until her master's voice sounded, like a clear stream flowing over, that she regained her senses.
Even though she had never seen the former God - Lord's handwriting, she could tell that it was not something the Goddess of Mount Cangshan could forge. The marriage certificate... was very likely to be real.
She lowered her head. So the words the Goddess of Mount Cangshan had said at the beginning, "She is the other master of the Cangling Hall", actually meant this.
Did she really have to call her mistress?
"It is indeed the former God - Lord's handwriting." Chongming said calmly. "What do you mean by taking out this thing today?"
"I only ask Your Excellency to expel her from the sect and never see her again in the future!"
There was a deep resentment in the Goddess of Mount Cangshan's words, and her gaze towards Yaohua was as if she wanted to eat her.
Her master didn't deny the marriage certificate, so it seemed that it was true. Would her master really listen to the Goddess of Mount Cangshan and expel her from the sect? Yaohua's heart sank little by little.
"Master, I..."
The Goddess of Mount Cangshan's gaze swept over, like a sharp blade cutting.
"Don't call him master anymore. I'm Your Excellency's wife. From now on, you're no longer Your Excellency's disciple. Get out of the Celestial Realm quickly!"
As soon as her voice fell, a series of applause suddenly rang out.
Yaohua looked in the direction of the sound and met a pair of phoenix eyes blazing with anger.
"Good! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that I could see someone causing trouble in the Cangling Hall today."
Those phoenix eyes swept over them one by one and finally landed on Yaohua.
"Yaoyao, come here."
"Dad..." Yaohua widened her eyes, suspecting that she was having an illusion.
Her father rarely left the clan's territory. Why would he come to the Cangling Hall today?
"Come here quickly?" Qingcang raised his voice. His handsome face sank rarely, which made Yaohua a little scared.
Her eyes hesitated between her master and her father.
"Yaoyao, come here."
"Second elder brother, you're here too." Yaohua grabbed the corner of her clothes. "Why are you here? Has something happened in the clan?"
Feng Jing shook his head slightly. "The Demon of Heaven has appeared. All the races in the Divine Land have received the news and come to the Celestial Realm to discuss with the God - Lord. The Phoenix Clan is no exception."
So that was it. Yaohua let out a sigh of relief.
Then, when she thought of being expelled from the Celestial Realm, her expression immediately stiffened.
"Yaoyao, come here." Qingcang said again. "Dad will take you home."
"But Dad, aren't you going to discuss how to deal with the Demon of Heaven with the God - Lord?"
"Your matter is more important now." Qingcang softened his expression. "You've suffered so much injustice outside and didn't even tell Dad! If we hadn't come here by chance this time, would you have never planned to tell Dad?"
As he said, he glared at Chongming again. "Thank you, Your Excellency, for taking care of Yaoyao all these days. However, Yaoyao is ultimately the little princess of the Phoenix Clan. We won't bother Your Excellency anymore in the future."
Yaohua opened her eyes in surprise. Was this still her father?
Every time her father saw her master, he was as timid as a mouse seeing a cat. But today he was so tough!
"Do you remember what your master told you?"
"I remember." Yaohua choked with sobs. "Master, can you not drive me away?"
Chongming sighed softly. "Since I took you as my disciple, I won't drive you away. Now that the Demon of Heaven is causing chaos, master hopes that you can grow up quickly and fight side by side with master in the future."
"Your Excellency!" The Goddess of Mount Cangshan suddenly grabbed the marriage certificate, unable to believe it. "You still want to see her?"
"Yaohua is my disciple, and she hasn't committed any major mistakes." Chongming didn't say anything more. He nodded to Qingcang and was about to leave.
"Your Excellency, are you going to ignore the marriage certificate?" The Goddess of Mount Cangshan quickly followed. "Your Excellency..."
"Marriage certificate?" Qingcang sneered. "Does the Goddess of Mount Cangshan think that a marriage certificate can control Your Excellency and expel my daughter from the sect?"
"What do you mean by that?" The Goddess of Mount Cangshan glared at him fiercely.
Qingcang laughed. He suddenly whistled. In the blink of an eye, a cluster of phoenix flames ignited on the marriage certificate in the Goddess of Mount Cangshan's hand.
