Chapter 2894: Three Brothers

Zhu Zhibin handed over his authority to the three of them. First, it was because of trust. He knew exactly what kind of people they were, so he dared to use them boldly.

Facts proved his judgment was good. Zhou Yujin, Gongsun Qingyue, and Zhang Heng were all outstanding management talents, no matter who you looked at.

Second, he was not good at management. It was better to delegate power than to give blind commands.

Now it seemed his decision was correct. At least, in the hearts of cultivators outside, the Strategist Alliance was clearly a powerful force.

"Fine, we admit you have self-awareness. But can you please stop running around?" Zhang Heng looked at Zhu Zhibin with a helpless expression.

Although Zhu Zhibin spoke honestly, and although they didn't feel tired managing the Strategist Alliance, this didn't mean the Alliance Leader could just run away at will.

This behavior was really too irresponsible.

Zhu Zhibin coughed and said, "If I don't run away, I won't have a wife. You can't just let me be a lonely bachelor, right?"

"Hehe," Gongsun Qingyue said. "Now that you are back, you handle the affairs. We three are the lonely bachelors now. We should also go out for a walk."

"Don't," Zhu Zhibin hurriedly said. "You can't say that. Among us four, any of you three looks better than me. If I don't avoid you and go out to find one, where would I get a wife?"

Zhou Yujin glanced at Zhu Zhibin. "So, whether you run or not, you always have an excuse, right?"

"Not exactly. As the saying goes, reason allows one to travel the world, right?" Zhu Zhibin felt a bit cheeky.

"Hehe, Alliance Leader, does your wife know you act like this?" Gongsun Qingyue looked at Zhu Zhibin speechlessly.

Zhu Zhibin raised an eyebrow. "My wife naturally knows, right? Wife?"

Zhang Weixi looked at Zhu Zhibin with a half-smile. "Actually, I didn't know before. But after today, I consider myself informed."

Zhu Zhibin paused. "Wife, exposing me like this isn't good, is it?"

"Only by tearing down the old stage can a new one be built." Zhang Weixi’s serious expression made Zhou Yujin and the others laugh.

"You have your day too," Gongsun Qingyue laughed. "In the past, only you bullied us. Now you finally get your comeuppance."

Although they were bickering verbally, their friendship was actually very deep.

After the verbal spar, Zhou Yujin turned to the main topic. "Have you and your wife gotten married yet?"

"We haven't exactly married. We are engaged. That's why I brought my wife here to hold the wedding." A contract companion was not much different from an engagement.

Since both had understood each other's hearts, Zhu Zhibin wanted to find a good day to truly marry.

However, even if they married, it would take some time to become true husband and wife. After all, Zhang Weixi's cultivation was still shallow. Therefore, Zhu Zhibin did not plan to become true husband and wife with her immediately.

The fact was not established, but the title was important. Zhu Zhibin planned to settle the title first.

Although Zhou Yujin and the others didn't know Zhu Zhibin's specific plans, they were satisfied that he brought his fiancée back to hold a wedding in the Strategist Alliance.

"But I see your wife's cultivation is not high. Are you sure you won't hurt her?" Zhang Heng looked at Zhu Zhibin with a suspicious expression.

Zhu Zhibin glanced at Zhang Heng. "I am not that beastly, okay?"

She paused and said, "I naturally know my wife's current cultivation situation. I just want to settle the true title first, then protect her with all my strength, letting her cultivate in peace. Until we ascend together, we will become true husband and wife."

"Tsk tsk. Hearing this, I feel like we have a long wait," Zhang Heng teased.

Zhu Zhibin didn't get angry. "Actually, it's nothing. We cultivators have plenty of time. As long as there is a goal, it's fine."

Hearing Zhu Zhibin's words, Zhou Yujin said, "In that case, let's hold the wedding first."

When joking, they would tease each other. But when it came to serious matters, they would not shirk their duties. Therefore, they naturally had to do it well.

Especially regarding Zhu Zhibin's past. They had heard about it. They had only heard about his first failed marriage, not seen it. But they had seen the second time he was hurt by a woman.

Although Zhu Zhibin didn't care much, he had been silent for several days. Therefore, they valued Zhu Zhibin's other half very much.

By the time Zhang Weixi arrived at the Strategist Alliance, they had already investigated everything about her clearly.

They were very satisfied with how Zhang Weixi handled Zhang Baozhu and Hu Langjun. This style, which seemed like forgiveness but was actually revenge, suited the Strategist Alliance perfectly.

They didn't require Zhang Weixi to be extremely capable. Their only requirement was that she not drag Zhu Zhibin down or implicate him.

Therefore, during the moment of bickering with Zhu Zhibin just now, they were secretly observing Zhang Weixi. Their first impression was quite good.

As cultivators, they all valued their first impressions. Since the first impression was good, they would not obstruct Zhu Zhibin. On the contrary, they would actively prepare for the wedding.

Although Zhu Zhibin was usually lazy, he valued his own marriage greatly.

Instead, the bride, Zhang Weixi, was sent off by Zhu Zhibin to cultivate.

Zhang Weixi thought that her cultivation seemed to be the lowest here, and she was unfamiliar with the situation. So, she simply didn't interfere.

Besides meeting Zhu Zhibin once a day, she spent most of her time cultivating.

One day, after finishing her cultivation, Zhang Weixi went out to find Zhu Zhibin.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhibin had gone out to collect betrothal gifts. This moved Zhang Weixi, but also made her feel a bit helpless.

"Actually, I am alone. I don't need too many betrothal gifts," Zhang Weixi said. She had always known that for others, marriage might be a matter between two families. But for her, it was a matter between two people.

"Whether you need betrothal gifts or not is irrelevant. It is a procedure," Zhou Yujin said to Zhang Weixi.

"Wife, our only hope is that you treat our Alliance Leader well."

Zhou Yujin’s serious and solemn expression made Zhang Weixi slightly stunned.

She knew that since she came to the Strategist Alliance, although Zhou Yujin and the others had taken good care of her, it was because of Zhu Zhibin.

In their hearts, the three of them had not truly accepted her.

Of course, Zhang Weixi knew that getting along with people took time. Therefore, she was not in a hurry. She just didn't expect Zhou Yujin to say such things to her now, so she felt a bit dazed.

Zhou Yujin looked deeply at Zhang Weixi, then said, "Wife, do you know the Alliance Leader's past?"

"(⊙o⊙)…" Zhang Weixi blinked. "I heard him mention it casually. It seems he once had a failed marriage, and then encountered a woman who forgot righteousness for profit. So, he originally had no hope for love."

"That's right. To be honest," Zhou Yujin said. "When Lord Yandi and Lady Yandi said the Alliance Leader still had a destined marriage, we were very worried. We didn't know what kind of person this woman would be."

Zhang Weixi understood Zhou Yujin's meaning. she was worried that she would hurt Zhu Zhibin.

"Rest assured. Zhibin is unique in my heart. Since I have chosen him, I have never thought of leaving him."

Zhang Weixi was not ungrateful. If she hadn't met Zhu Zhibin, perhaps she wouldn't have sighed about love at all.

Although Zhang Weixi was very outstanding in appearance, regarding love, she yearned more for a life like her parents': one pair for a lifetime, with no extra people.

And Zhu Zhibin had been honest about his past before they had feelings for each other.

Although Zhu Zhibin had a marriage history, it didn't matter. At least, they were not together now.

"This is the answer I wanted. When the Alliance Leader was a mortal, he was betrayed by his wife and children. This was also the reason why Lady Yandi decisively cut off his mortal emotional ties.

Later, coming to the cultivation world, for the sake of the Strategist Alliance, he encountered a person with ulterior motives. Although it wasn't heart-wrenching, some emotions arose. To be honest, we were really worried."

Zhou Yujin's face remained serious. "So, when he sent a message saying he found his true destined marriage, although we were happy for him, we were still worried about a 'what if'."

Zhou Yujin looked at Zhang Weixi's face. "Whether human or cultivator, we are not afraid of ten thousand possibilities, but we fear the one 'what if'. So, we are really worried about this 'what if'."

"There will be no such 'what if'," Zhang Weixi said seriously. "I can guarantee this to you. There will absolutely be no such 'what if' between Zhibin and me."

"Good. We believe you," Zhou Yujin said seriously. "Just remember what you said today. But if one day you commit this 'what if', we will absolutely not let you off."

"Rest assured. When Zhibin and I marry, we will make a vow to the Heavenly Dao. Although I, Zhang Weixi, am a weak woman, I know that a true-hearted person is hard to find." Zhang Weixi answered seriously.

Zhang Weixi might have been dissatisfied with Zhou Yujin's suspicion of her, but she believed in herself. She believed that with her true heart, she would make Zhou Yujin see her sincerity.

The conversation between Zhang Weixi and Zhou Yujin was not told to Zhu Zhibin. And Zhu Zhibin, busy with the upcoming wedding, ignored this point.

Fortunately, the decisions made by both Zhou Yujin and Zhang Weixi were beneficial to him, so no conflict would occur.

The news that the Strategist Alliance Leader was getting married naturally spread throughout the cultivation world.

However, very few people could attend the Strategist Alliance Leader's wedding. Even the sect masters of those sects did not receive invitations from the Strategist Alliance.

However, the Strategist Alliance gave them a banquet invitation. This banquet was for eating wedding wine at the Strategist Alliance's nearby shops. As for where the Strategist Alliance headquarters was, no one would tell them.
