Chapter 1263
Cough, cough, cough, cough . . .
The silence in the meeting room was broken only by the old man's acute cough . Blood could be seen on the old man's hand, which he had placed over his mouth . The old man was starting to look even frailer . The Lifeless Qi in his body was becoming so dense that it seemed as if the old man would die at any time . Seeing that, the deacons and apprentices of the Jade Lake came to themselves from the shock that had been caused by the marriage certificate .
"Elder . . . Xu, are you okay? What is so serious?" Bai Cailing, who didn't have time to consider the marriage certificate, asked as she supported the old man hurriedly .
Although Buttface and Duan Jiude had robbed the treasure house of the Jade Lake, Xu Que had saved her life . So the Jade Lake didn't want to investigate this issue seriously . They would punish Buttface and Duan Jiude to teach them a lesson . But they would not vent their anger on Xu Que . Now, people of the Jade Lake were quite polite to Xu Que's father and only wanted to know the details of the marriage contract . They didn't expect that the old man would have had a certificate of marriage that had the aura of Bai Cailing's soul . It meant the certificate had been signed by Bai Cailing personally . So, all of them were confused, including Bai Cailing .
However, they were distracted by the old man's cough . When they saw the blood on the old man's hand, they were surprised . Why did the old man, who was just at the Half Celestial Stage, have such a serious wound in his body? It seemed like an old illness . The dense Lifeless Qi in his body kept consuming his life span .
"Alas! It's okay! This is just an old illness!" The old man said with a smile .
Bai Cailing knew the old man didn't want to talk about his disease . So she didn't make a detailed inquiry . She fixed her eyes on that golden paper and asked, as she pursed her lips, "Elder Xu, did Xu Que give this marriage certificate to you? Actually, I only signed a receipt of a loan . But . . . "
"Right! Xu Que sent this marriage certificate to me . Don't worry! I won't allow that unfilial son to bully you! This marriage certificate is invalid for me!" As he spoke, he tore at the golden paper strenuously and tried to rip it apart . However, the golden paper returned to its original appearance after being torn in half .
"Elder Xu, I'm afraid that is useless . If my guess is right, this marriage certificate was formed by Xu Que's Soul Strength and Taoist Connotation . So, the certificate can only be terminated by him!" Bai Cailing shook her head and said with a wry smile . Now, she had figured out that she had been fooled by Xu Que who told her it was just a receipt for a loan . Then she signed it without checking it carefully . She didn't expect a term was hidden in the receipt which stipulated that she would marry him if she couldn't return the Celestial Artifacts to him on time .
"Eh . . . " The old man was stunned when he heard that . His face was full of regret . Bang! Bang! Bang! He started to punch his chest with his fist as he said regretfully, "This is all my fault! This is all my fault! My son is a scum! Please kill me, so that I could right all his wrongdoing with my life!"
"Ah? Elder Xu, wait, please don't do that!" Bai Cailing was surprised and stopped the old man immediately . The rest of the female apprentices in the room also stood up . The old man, who was at his last gasp, would really die here if he continued to punch himself like that .
"Elder Xu, it is okay . I believe this marriage certificate is only a joke of Xu Que's . Please don't take it seriously . You should have a rest first . We will help you to find Xu Que!" Bai Cailing tried to appease the old man . Then she asked a female apprentice to take the old man to have a rest . It seemed the old man was still quite angry and sad . When the female apprentice and the old man left the meeting room, he wept bitterly as he kept shaking his head . He was so frail that it seemed he would fall even though he had a cane in his hand . The female apprentice, who sympathized with him, supported him tightly as they walked out of the room slowly .
