Chapter 536 Hong Jiang's Guilt

Following the disappearance of Fengqiao and Kensei, Ichigo and the others also stepped onto the stone platform in front of them. With just one step, it was as if they had stepped into a new world.

There was still white fog all around, but compared with the previous thick fog that was so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, the white fog around everyone at this moment was like a piece of white gauze.

The huge black torii still stood in front of them not far away, and on both sides were rock walls covered with vines. This was not a lake at all, but a quiet valley.

"Could it be that we have really entered another space?" Ishida couldn't help but sighed. Just now, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort like passing through a world-crossing gate.

"Who knows if it's another space or a simple trick." Pingzi said lazily: "I've come here a few times and it's different every time. Anyway, it's just a place for worship. Those old guys have always made it very mysterious." "Shut up, is this a place for you to complain?!" Soi-Fong lowered her voice and scolded: "Although we haven't entered the shrine yet, we must maintain the highest respect!" Pingzi nodded helplessly: "Yes, yes, it's not only mysterious, but there are also many rules..." "Okay, okay, let's walk this section quietly." Chunshui saw Soi-Fong's frown and hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "To be honest, we are still a long way from the shrine." Looking along his finger, behind the huge torii is an upward mountain road. Although the white fog surrounding everyone has faded a lot at this moment, the long and straight stone steps still have no end in sight. If the unknown shrine is really on a mountain, they are undoubtedly at the foot of the mountain, and the top of the mountain is still hidden above the clouds. As Chunshui said, they still have a long way to go. …

Hongjiang stood in front of the shrine with his eyes closed. His wide hakama swayed gently in the breeze. The pink and white cherry blossom petals slanted across the red paper umbrella above his head and hit his face, but were blown away by his heavy breathing.

He was a little nervous, a different kind of nervousness from before a life-and-death battle, just like an actor about to perform on stage. The only difference was that he was not nervous about not being able to please anyone next, but simply afraid that his performance would not be good enough, even if this performance would not bring him anything substantial.

“What are you thinking about?” Yoruichi’s voice came from the side, and at the same time, a small hand naturally drilled into Hongjiang’s palm, “Are you thinking about escaping again if things go wrong?”

The little joke made Hongjiang smile knowingly. He slowly opened his eyes. Yoruichi, wearing a white dress, immediately occupied his entire world. The wide hood covered most of her face. I have to say that Yoruichi was really beautiful today.

"I can't run away this time, after all, I'm the one who 'walked into the trap'." Hong Jiang said jokingly: "Those old guys won't ignore what I said just because I regret it."

"You really want to run away again!" Ye Yi said in feigned anger.

Hongjiang chuckled and just held Yoruichi's hand tighter: "Even if you thought about it, it's too late now. After all, I'm a man who is about to enter the land of gentleness, haha."

"You think too well. I will be more gentle to you only today. If you make a mistake in the future, I will treat you the same way as I did before!"

Speaking the most threatening words in the most gentle tone, Hongjiang was actually confused by Yoruichi who was possessed by Sister Hua for a while. When he reacted, he smiled slightly, "If you keep speaking softly to me, I'm probably the first person to go crazy."

"What do you mean, dead fish eyes!"

"Haha, it means that you were too deliberate just now, and it doesn't suit you, hahaha!" Hongjiang said, and silently added in his heart: "After all, the ungentle you is the Shifengyuan Yoruichi I love."

However, the lack of the latter sentence still caused Yoruichi to punch him lightly. Of course, if the latter sentence was added, Hongjiang might still be beaten.

"Keep quiet in front of the shrine. Lord Chouzuka and Miss Yoruichi, please be careful."

The increasingly unbridled fighting of Gu and the other finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the people in front of them, the people of the Jinjimiya family who were in charge of the ritual ceremony today. If the calm but angry voice had lethality, then Hongjiang and Yoruichi, these two "rebellious" guys, would definitely be dead.

Hongjiang and Yoruichi also knew that they had gone too far, and immediately stopped the childish fighting, just holding each other's hands and quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Yueyi saw that Hongjiang was no longer nervous, and her heart was much calmer. Although she didn't ask Hongjiang or say it, she knew what he was nervous about.

Although Hongjiang didn't run away from his marriage a hundred years ago for her, he chose to run away at that time. Even if it didn't bring irreversible changes to their relationship, it still made Yoruichi regretful.

Even if she was as free and easy as Shifengyuan Yoruichi, she hoped to be with her beloved in the end under everyone's blessings and witnesses, regardless of interests or positions, just as simple as a wedding.

With Hiroe's departure and her and Urahara's defection, it is too difficult to realize such a simple wish.

Of course, with their personalities, even a wedding witnessed by several people is not unacceptable.

But in the final analysis, this is still a kind of escape, at least in Hiroe's own opinion. If he had not been impulsive a hundred years ago, even if he had to go to Hueco Mundo, their wedding would have been a grand event in the Soul Society.

After all, he owed Yoruichi a grand wedding. Even if it was not necessary, it was still a debt.

I don't know why, Hongjiang suddenly thought of holding a wedding. Yoruichi was a little surprised, but he still hoped that the wedding of that year could be restarted now.

But it turned out to be difficult. Even if Hongjiang gave in again and again, time could not go back to the past.

Putting aside the promise of resigning after a hundred years, the hakama with a pattern of feathers worn by Hongjiang at this moment is pure white at the front, back and sleeves of the family crest.

This made Yoruichi, who was wearing a white dress to symbolize that she would integrate into her husband's family, feel like she had no home to return to.

Perhaps, his wedding with Hongjiang will still be held under the witness of everyone and the blessings of relatives and friends, but in the place of Seireitei, their union is more like two lonely ghosts gathering together for warmth.

Not to mention that with Hongjiang's character of not wanting to suffer losses, since those old guys must trade with him on this matter, how can he be willing to be the only party that loses.

Allowing Ichigo and others to enter the shrine to participate in the ceremony was one of Hongjiang's conditions, and it could be said to be the only condition he fought for.

Unable to completely continue the incomplete wedding of the past, coupled with the blessing with a position transaction, Hongjiang always felt that he had not made up for Yoruichi's regret.

But in Yoruichi's opinion, this is already very good.

So what if there is no family crest, and what about the blessing from the transaction?

Doesn't the pure white white wedding and the haori without family crest make this wedding purer?

She who was deprived of her family belonging and Hongjiang who was already lonely, simply want to enter each other's world and start a new life.

In Yoruichi's opinion, this is the best wedding for her and Hongjiang.

A better and more firm relationship than the wedding that had not yet started a hundred years ago.
