Chapter 464 Engagement Next Month
After absorbing the blood of the two people, the Heart Symbol instantly shone brightly. That light was so dazzling that it seemed to condense the purest love in the world. Then, the light slowly split into two softer lights, like two flexible ribbons, each shooting into the bodies of the two people. The moment the light merged into their bodies, Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming both felt a slight shock, as if a warm current flowed through their bodies, connecting their hearts.
"Have we succeeded?" A hint of doubt flashed in Nangong Jingming's eyes. He turned to look at Su Siyi with anticipation. At this moment, he was feeling both apprehensive about the unknown and looking forward to the further development of their relationship.
"Yes, it worked!" Su Siyi said affirmatively, her eyes gleaming with joy. She could clearly feel that from the moment the Heart-Sharing Talisman merged into her body, she and Nangong Jingming seemed to have established a closer connection, a wonderful feeling of spiritual connection. This also proved that they were people who truly loved each other, and this love did not need words to resonate deep in their hearts.
At this moment, the hearts of both of them were filled with excitement, and an indescribable joy spread in their hearts. They knew that the other person's love for them was so deep. This feeling of being able to easily feel the other person's feelings without the other person saying it out loud was really wonderful. Su Siyi's cheeks flushed slightly, and Nangong Jingming's ears were also a little hot. They both felt as if their deepest thoughts were revealed to each other without reservation, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Let's keep going!" Nangong Jingming coughed lightly, trying to hide his shyness, then took Su Siyi's hand and walked forward. Su Siyi nodded slightly, letting Nangong Jingming hold her hand, their fingers tightly intertwined, as if conveying each other's warmth.
Neither of them knew what to say. They could only hold hands and stroll around Tongxin Lake. The surrounding scenery was picturesque. The water shimmered, and the weeping willows by the lake rustled in the wind. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. However, their minds were not on the beautiful scenery at the moment, but on their feelings for each other.
"Siyi, there's a legend about Tongxin Lake that says drinking from the Tongxin Spring there will ensure lovers are forever together." Nangong Jingming broke the silence, gathering some information about the area and speaking to Su Siyi. His voice was gentle and deep, as if he were telling an ancient and beautiful story.
"Oh, then let's go and take a look!" Su Siyi's eyes lit up, and an expression of interest appeared on her face. She was full of curiosity about this legend and hoped to experience its beautiful meaning with Nangong Jingming.
"Okay, it's not far ahead. Look, there's a signpost over there." Nangong Jingming just walked to a place and saw the signpost. He pointed at the signpost and said to Su Siyi. Su Siyi looked in the direction of his finger and saw a sign with the words "Tongxinquan" written on it.
"Yeah, there are more and more people here." Su Siyi felt that there were more and more lovers here. It seemed that many people came here because of its reputation. They continued to walk forward and saw many couples gathered by the lake. Some of them were taking pictures, while others were whispering to each other. The air was filled with a sweet atmosphere.
"Dear, come here quickly, let's drink from Tongxin Spring together." A beautiful woman, with a happy smile on her face, happily pulled her boyfriend to the Tongxin Spring and said. Her voice was clear and pleasant, full of anticipation.
"Yes, let's drink together." The man agreed to his girlfriend's request with a doting look on his face, his eyes full of love. Hand in hand, they walked to the Tongxin Spring, carefully scooped up the water with their cups, and drank a cup of Tongxin Spring water together. Their movements were gentle and tacit, as if they were performing a sacred ritual.
There are still many lovers like them, but there are also those who don't believe it. Although they don't believe it, they still drink a glass at their partner's request. Such a lively atmosphere is really full of the flavor of human life. Su Siyi looked at the couples around her and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She felt that this ordinary yet beautiful scene was the truest portrayal of love.
"Brother Nangong, come over here and have a drink too." Su Siyi also wanted to join in the fun, so she dragged him to the Tongxin Spring to fetch some water. She had a bright smile on her face, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Okay." Nangong Jingming naturally wouldn't refuse her request. He followed Su Siyi to the Tongxin Spring. They scooped up some water together, then clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. The water was cool and sweet, as if it had a magical power that made them even happier.
The two of them had a good time here before slowly returning to the villa. Along the way, they held hands, talked and laughed, as if forgetting the passage of time. After returning to the villa, Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming felt a little tired, but their hearts were filled with happiness and satisfaction.
The next day was the day for the two families to meet, and Su Sheng and Ji Mei also arrived in the imperial capital today. At this moment, in a large private room, all the members of the Su and Nangong families who could make it were gathered. The room was decorated magnificently, with soft lighting, creating a warm and solemn atmosphere.
"Brother Su, you've been away from the cultivation world for so long, you're finally back." Nangong couldn't help but tease Su Sheng with a friendly smile. His voice was bright, full of longing and teasing for his old friend.
"Alas, that's because the people over there are too stupid. After coming out once, they are scared and go back to learn more about the rules outside." Su Sheng said with a smile, a helpless expression on his face. His words caused a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere in the box became more lively.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Su, it's almost time. I'll have the dishes served now." Nangong Jingming said after seeing that everyone had arrived and it was almost time. His voice was steady and powerful, and his eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
"Well, let's serve the food. Today is a good day." Leader Nangong said happily, with a happy smile on his face. He knew that today's gathering was not just a meeting between the two families, but also a discussion of Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming's lifelong affairs, which was of great significance.
The two families sat down and discussed the dates for the engagement and wedding. They decided that the two dates were five months apart. Since it was April, the engagement would be in May, and the wedding in October. Everyone gathered around to discuss the details of the wedding, each expressing their own opinions. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
"Well, isn't this a little too soon? How about an engagement in October and the wedding next year?" Han Shuqiong whispered reluctantly, a hint of hesitation in her eyes. Her voice trembled, as if she was struggling to control her emotions. She felt a little uncomfortable that she hadn't even been with her daughter for long, and she was about to see her get married.
"Xiao Han, is there anything you're not happy with about our Jingming? These two dates are the best for the younger generation," Nangong asked doubtfully, a hint of concern in his eyes. He didn't want the dates to cause any misunderstandings between the two families.
"Um, no, I just wanted to keep my daughter for a while longer." Han Shuqiong explained, with an awkward smile on her face. She knew that her thoughts might be a little selfish, but as a mother, she really couldn't bear to see her daughter leave her so soon.
Su Shiqian was also upset, but he didn't dare to say anything. After all, it was Nangong, the leader, who came in person to set the date. He sat aside, listening to everyone's discussion silently, his heart filled with conflict and reluctance. He hoped his daughter would find happiness soon, but he couldn't bear to see her leave his side.
In the end, their reluctance went unnoticed. Truthfully, the two young people had been in a relationship for so long, and everyone could clearly see they were a perfect match. The most important thing was that they loved each other, and their parents simply needed to support them. After some discussion, the two families ultimately decided to proceed with the engagement and wedding as originally planned.
"Siyi, we have to go to a meeting tomorrow. Many things have come to a conclusion, and we need to attend the meeting." Nangong Jingming received the news when he returned to the villa, and then he said directly to Su Siyi. His face showed a serious expression, and his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.
"Oh, okay. After resting for so long, it's time to get back to work," Su Siyi said with a smile, her voice clear and firm. She knew the days ahead might be busy, but she wasn't afraid. Instead, she felt that being busy made life more enjoyable.
"Then the future might be quite busy." Nangong Jingming frowned slightly. He knew they had a lot to do, preparing for a day two years from now, or perhaps even less than two years. They faced enormous challenges and pressure, but he believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties.
"Don't be afraid. Life feels more enjoyable when you're busy." Su Siyi said with a smile that was full of confidence and optimism. She looked at Nangong Jingming with eyes full of encouragement and support, as if telling him that no matter what difficulties they encountered in the future, they could face them together.
The next day, sunlight filtered through thin clouds, scattering across the land, bathing the city in a golden glow. Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi, neatly dressed, walked with determined steps toward the conference room. Their faces radiated confidence and composure, as if they were ready to embrace new challenges.
As they walked into the conference room, Leader Nangong saw them immediately and a pleased smile appeared on his face. "Little girl, come and sit down!" Leader Nangong greeted them warmly, his voice full of love.
"Grandpa." Nangong Jingming responded respectfully, and then took Su Siyi to sit on the right side of Nangong Leader. Su Siyi also followed suit and called out, "Hello, Grandpa Nangong!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a silver bell.
"Alas, good children, you may have to work hard for a while in the future!" Leader Nangong looked at them, his eyes revealing a hint of heartache and expectation. He knew that the upcoming tasks were difficult and arduous, requiring them to devote a lot of time and energy.
"Well, I'm not afraid of hard work," Su Siyi said firmly, her eyes twinkling. After this period of experience, she has gradually come to like this busy and fulfilling life, especially the daily busy check-in, the constant new gains and growth, which makes her feel extremely satisfied.
"Su girl, since you are all here, let's start the meeting!" Leader Deng said with a smile. His voice was steady and powerful, making the atmosphere in the entire meeting room instantly become serious.
"Okay." Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming responded in unison.
Soon, the meeting officially began. Everyone sat in a circle in the conference room, their eyes fixed on the large screen in front of them, which displayed various data and information about the Pangu Spiritual Tree. The main purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to transplant these precious Pangu Spiritual Trees.
After intense discussion and analysis, the decision was made to initially transplant one Pangu tree in each city's four directions using protective shields. This approach would not only maximize the Pangu tree's potential but also effectively protect the city's environment. Furthermore, Pangu trees would be planted primarily in the center of the city to improve its overall ecological quality.
To ensure the Pangu Spirit Tree thrives, purifying trees are planted near it. These trees further purify the air and soil, ensuring the surrounding environment remains optimal. This entire effort relies on Su Siyi's assistance. Not only does she need to help monitor the trees' growth, but she also provides spiritual spring water, seeds, and soil.
This was undoubtedly a massive and complex project. After all, the Flower Kingdom was vast, with hundreds of cities, thousands of counties, and tens of thousands of towns. While the Li family's area contained several thousand Pangu Spiritual Trees, this was still too few to meet demand across the entire Flower Kingdom. Therefore, more people would be needed, spending considerable time and effort to inject more spiritual energy to promote the growth and reproduction of the Pangu Spiritual Trees.
In this process, the spiritual spring water is even more useful. It not only provides the necessary nutrients for the Pangu spiritual tree, but also enhances the tree's vitality and resistance, allowing it to better adapt to the new environment.
"Jingming, Siyi, you two are responsible for the management of these trees. You must ensure that every tree survives successfully." Leader Nangong said to them with a serious expression, his eyes full of trust and expectation.
"We guarantee to complete the mission." Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi stood up at the same time, with upright postures and saluted solemnly. Their voices were firm and powerful, as if declaring their determination and confidence to everyone.
