He knew that if he had agreed to his daughter and Guo Jing's marriage, his beloved daughter would not have died in the deep sea and was vexed. He raised his voice, "Guanyin, stop beating around the bush, do you want her to be your wife or not?"
Lu Guanyin was stunned and answered hurriedly, "Grand-teacher, Grand-disciple's afraid that I am not good enough for…" Huang Yaoshi cut in, "Good enough! You are my grand-disciple, you are good enough even for a princess!"
Lu Guanyin saw Huang Yaoshi's eagerness and knew that if continued hesitating, the situation would turn worse. He answered hurriedly, "Grand-disciple is willing." Huang Yaoshi smiled and said, "Good. What about you Miss?"
Cheng Yaojia felt a sweet sensation in her heart when she heard Lu Guanyin's words, when she heard Huang Yaoshi's question, she lowered her head and said softly, "I need father to help me decide."
Huang Yaoshi replied, "What parent's decision? All nonsensical rubbish, I want to be the one to make the decision! If your father is unwilling, ask him to come and duel with me."
Cheng Yaojia smiled, "Father only knows how to calculate accounts and do calligraphy, he doesn't know any martial arts." Huang Yaoshi thought for a while, "Then we'll compete using calculation! Humph, talking about calculations, who on earth can win me? Hurry up, are you willing or not?
Cheng Yaojia kept quiet and Huang Yaoshi said, "Alright, so you aren't willing then, it's up to you. We keep to our words and Old Heretic Huang never allows anyone to regret their decisions." Cheng Yaojia stole a glance at Lu Guanyin and saw that his expression had turned anxious. She thought to herself, "Father dotes on me the most. If I ask Auntie to talk to father and you ask someone to seek my hand, father will agree. Why are you so anxious?"
Huang Yaoshi stood up and shouted, "Guanyin, follow me to look for the 6 freaks of Jiangnan! If you ever speak to this lady again, I'll cut off both of your tongues,"
Lu Guanyin was shocked and knew that his grand-teacher was capable of such acts. He walked in front of Cheng Yaojia and cupped his palms into a greeting posture before saying, "Miss, Lu Guanyin is lowly skilled in martial arts and is untalented and uneducated. I live a wandering life and am not good enough for you. But I think it is fate that we should meet today…"
Cheng Yaojia answered softly, "Mister doesn't have to be humble. I…I…am not…" and she kept silent. Lu Guanyin's heart skipped a beat and he thought to make her answer by nodding or shaking her head, "Miss, if you do not find me up to par with you, please shake your head." After he said this, he heart pumped frantically as he looked at her delicate face, worried that she would shake her head.
After a while, Cheng Yaojia still kept still and did not even more a finger. Lu Guanyin was delighted and said, "Since Miss is willing to marry me, please nod you head." But Cheng Yaojia still did not move. Lu Guanyin ws anxious and Huang Yaoshi was exasperated and said, "You don't shake and you don't nod. What does that mean?"
Cheng Yaojia said softly, "If I don't shake my head, it…it…means that I nod my head…" These words were mumbled so softly such that only Huang Yaoshi, who had a high level of internal energy and sharp ears, could hear it. Had it been a few years earlier, he would not be able to hear anything but just see her lips moving slightly.
Huang Yaoshi laughed loudly, "Wang Chongyang has all along been a heroic and brave man. Who would have thought that his disciple would be so wishy-washy? That's just so funny. Alright, I will see through your marriage today." The couple was taken aback and stared at Huang Yaoshi speechlessly, who continued asking, "Where is that silly lady? I want to ask her who her teacher is." When the three of them were talking in the inn, Sha Gu had disappeared somewhere.
Huang Yaoshi continues, "Anyway, there's no rush to find her now. Guanyin, you will marry Miss Cheng here then." Lu Guanyin replied, "Grand-disciple is very grateful for grand-teacher's love but to marry here is somehow too plain…" Huang Yaoshi retorted, "You are a disciple of the Peach Blossom Island, do you want to abide to conventions as well? Come come, stand side by side both of you, and bow to the sky!" His tone was stern and serious and they did not dare disobey him. Cheng Yaojia had reached this stage and knew that she could not do anything but carry on the rituals with Lu Guanyin. Huang Yaoshi continued, "Bow to the earth!…Bow to your grand-teacher ah…good, good, happiness, happiness! Bow to each other!"
Huang Rong and Guo Jing watched Huang Yaoshi orchestrate the show and were surprised but delighted as well. They found it very funny while Huang Yaoshi continued, "Excellent! Guanyin, go and get a candle for your nuptial night." Lu Guanyin was stunned and said, "Grand-teacher!" Huang Yaoshi replied, "Why? After completing the ceremony, isn't it time for your nuptial night? You and your wife are pugilists, so you don't need a glamorous room with beautiful blankets right? Can't you also have your nuptial night in this broken inn?" Lu Guanyin didn't dare answer back but he was excited and delighted at the same time. He followed his grand-teacher's instructions and went to the village to get a pair of red candles, some wine and chicken, and prepared a meal with Cheng Yaojia in the kitchen before serving it to their grand-teacher.
After that, Huang Yaoshi was silent and raised his head, thinking about his daughter but hiding his sadness. Huang Rong saw his expressions and knew that he was thinking about her. She felt terrible and wanted to shout out but was afraid that once her father discovered her, would bring her back to Peach Blossom Island. Even if he did not kill Guo Jing, Guo Jing would not be able to survive. When she thought about this, she took back her hand from the door. Lu Guanyin and Cheng Yaojia stole glances at Huang Yaoshi and looked at each other, while feeling happy but awkward. Their faces and ears were both red and they did not dare to make a sound. Ouyang Ke was lying amongst the straws and wood and listened attentively. Although he was starving, he did not dare to make any noise.
The sky gradually turned dark. Cheng Yaojia's heart was thumping louder and louder. She heard Huang Yaoshi talking to himself, "Why hasn't that Silly Girl come back? Humph, that bunch of traitors better not give her any trouble." Turning his head to Lu Guanying he said, "Tonight is your wedding night; why don't you light some candles?"
"Yes!" Lu Guanying replied. He took a flint and lighted the candles. Under the bright candlelight he saw that Cheng Da Xiaojie's [Eldest Miss Cheng] hair on her temples were like a cloud of mist, her cheeks were as white as snow, her face showed a bashful and surprised feeling; it was truly hard to describe with words. Outside the door the insects were buzzing, the evening breeze swayed the bamboo trees; he felt like it was a dream!
Huang Yaoshi took a wooden bench and placed it on the doorstep, then he laid down on it. Soon afterwards he was snoring lightly; looked like he was sound asleep. Lu and Cheng couple still did not dare to move. After a long time the red candle burned out, the flame died down and the room became dark.
Lu and Cheng couple spoke to each other in low voices. Huang Rong leaned her head sideways trying to listen, but she could not hear what they were talking about. Suddenly she felt Guo Jing's body tremble, his breathing has quickened. Apparently his internal energy flow had reached a branched passage, so she busily helped him to overcome this obstacle. After his breathing turned normal she turned her attention to the room one more time. She saw the moonlight slanted down from the broken window outside. Lu and Cheng couple was still sitting side by side on the bench. She heard Cheng Yaojia speak in low voice, "Do you know what day is today?"
