Chapter 112: No More Waiting 2

"Good work here."

Changyi dropped three words and left. As soon as he was gone, other people immediately gathered around and took the invitation from Lu Jinyan's hands. For a while, the whole armory was abuzz. Changyi brought the last invitation to Lin Haoqing.

The injury Lin Haoqing had suffered from the Grand Master never healed, so he mostly rested in this residence arranged by Changyi and seldom moved around. When Changyi arrived, he was meditating in the courtyard with a sword placed in front of him. The blade glowed with a faint light as Lin Haoqing whispered, "... Be careful and stay safe."

He was contacting his demon slave, Siyu. Changyi did not disturb him and waited until Lin Haoqing opened his eyes and stood up, asking,

"What is it?"

Changyi handed over the invitation. Unlike the others, Lin Haoqing took a glance and immediately knew what it was. He was silent for a moment, and then smiled.

"Six years ago, I would've never guessed that someone would one day dare to marry Ji Yunhe. What's more, that she would actually invite me."

"She considers you a witness to a major part of her life," Changyi said. Lin Haoqing's smile faded and his eyes seemed a bit misty remembering the past.

"Yes, a very long time..."

Most of her life, and his as well... He accepted the invitation from Changyi's hand.

"I will definitely be there."

"Many thanks." Changyi was about to turn around, but Lin Haoqing called him back.

"You over consumed your magic and your health is not optimistic. Holding a wedding right now…" He paused.

"Do not blame me for spoiling the mood, but have you thought of a successor? With the current situation in the world, the north cannot be without a leader."

"Kongming is the most suitable candidate." Changyi did not mind Lin Haoqing's bluntness.

"I also hope you can stay and help. After the wedding, I will select seven people and form a cabinet. You can all plan and make decisions together on what's best for the north going forward."

Lin Haoqing sighed as Changyi was leaving.

"Jiaoren, this human world owes you too much."

Changyi did not pause or respond, as if he did not hear Lin Haoqing.

When he returned to his room, Ji Yunhe was still sewing under the lamp. The sound of the door opening distracted her and she carelessly poked a finger with the needle. In the next moment, her hand was grabbed by him. He knelt down in front of her, and seeing the drop of blood beading at the tip, he subconsciously took her finger into his mouth.

Ji Yunhe silently watched him. After a while, Changyi took her finger out and observed it left and right to confirm there was no more bleeding. He sat down next to her and frowned at the big pile of fabric.

"Let me help you."

Changyi pulled the fabric, needle and thread toward him. Ji Yunhe took them back and wanted to laugh.

"I've held a needle at least once back in the Demon Valley, have you? In the sea?"

"We don't wear clothing in the sea, so naturally we don't use needles."

"That's right." Ji Yunhe pulled some thread and continued sewing.

"You took care of the invitations, I will take care of the sewing. I was going to discuss a style with you, but then realized that I can only make the simplest kind. So don't get picky with me, let's just wear something simple for the wedding."

"Okay."

Of course Changyi would not be picky about it. Jiaoren's marriage ceremonies might be fancy and grand, but they still did not wear anything…

Changyi watched Ji Yunhe sew under the lamp, and listened to her casual voice asking him, "Have all the guests been invited?"

"Yes, they are all coming."

"I heard the city issued a ban on alcohol a few days ago?"

"Yes, the grains used to make alcohol can feed many mouths. Special circumstances, a ban on the production and sale of wine was more or less necessary."

"Then let's make some tea for the wedding?" Ji Yunhe asked.

"Is there any tea left?"

"There is still some in stock."
