Jiang Jianmu’s eyes lit up, and he agreed, "Old Ancestor Yuanhao, please elaborate.""I remember Mu Xian, that child, is already in the Purple Abode Realm at a young age, right?" Elder Yuanhao stroked his beard, reminding everyone, "Moreover, she just inherited the family’s codex recently and became a Transcendent Void Seed."
"Old Ancestor Yuanhao!" Jiang Jianmu’s face turned black upon hearing this, and he angrily said, "Mu Xian is a direct line lady of the Jiang’s; how could you want her to sell herself?"
Jiang Mu Xian is quite famous among the younger generation in Tianrui Holy City, with her beauty resembling an immortal and an extraordinary temperament. She is destined to become a Transcendent Void in the future, admired by many prominent family young masters.
Among the girls of Jiang Jianmu’s younger generation, he adored Jiang Mu Xian the most.
"Master Jianmu, besides Mu Xian, who among the younger generation of Jiang’s do you think could catch Young Master Shouzhe’s eye?" Elder Yuanhao spoke calmly, unfazed by the reprimand, "To put it bluntly, whether Young Master Shouzhe would take a fancy to our Mu Xian is still uncertain."
These words were indeed true.
Even Jiang Jianmu, who loved Jiang Mu Xian dearly, had to acknowledge that although Mu Xian was the treasure of the Jiang’s, Young Master Shouzhe’s identity and vision were far from ordinary, and none of the women serving him were inferior to Mu Xian.
Even if they were willing to let Mu Xian go, whether she would be accepted was uncertain.
Ultimately, everyone turned their gaze towards the family’s Old Ancestor, Immortal Monarch Haoran.
Immortal Monarch Haoran pondered for a moment before sighing, "The time left for our Jiang’s is not much. If there is no one to protect us, after my death, the legacy passed down by the Old Ancestor is difficult to preserve. Let me take Mu Xian to meet Young Master Shouzhe, let her follow him to learn and expand her horizons."
Some elders secretly admired, indeed worthy of being the Old Ancestor, the way he spoke was indeed skillful.
Despite feeling sorry for Mu Xian, Jiang Jianmu also realized this was the only chance to save Jiang’s situation, so he nodded in agreement: "Although Tiange Immortal Monarch is a lady attendant to the Young Master, she is actually a protector. Indeed, there is a lack of someone attentive to everyday needs around the Young Master. When I return, I will personally discuss this matter with Mu Xian. She should agree. If she indeed follows Young Master Shouzhe, perhaps she could also have other fortunes."
After a round of discussion, the matter was finalized.
...
Meanwhile.
Primordial Taoist Palace.
The Primordial Taoist Palace is lined with countless immortal islands, among which one is situated above the Ninth Heaven, at the topmost position named Lingxiao Immortal Island.
On the island, vegetation is lush, immortal energy abounds, surrounded by countless immortal flowers and exotic plants, with spiritual energy so dense that it condenses into a faint spiritual fog in the air, looking ethereal from afar, truly like an immortal realm.
At the center of the island, there is an expansive ancient architectural complex.
At the forefront of the complex is a palace, majestic and solemn with white and gold as its base colors, named the Daoshao Treasury Palace.
This Daoshao Treasury Palace is the official hall for meetings in the Taoist Palace, where the Taoist Master convenes meetings to discuss important matters with the numerous Sacred Supremes in the palace.
Behind the Daoshao Treasury Palace is another larger, more ancient palace, more imposing and profound, named the Hongzhen Palace.
This is the place where the current Master of Taichu Taoist Palace, Taoist Master Hongzhen, cultivates in seclusion and handles daily affairs.
However, Taoist Master Hongzhen tends to keep a low profile and remains secluded unless there are significant matters.
On this day.
Taoist Master Hongzhen was in seclusion as usual in the Hongzhen Palace.
On a white lotus-shaped cloud platform carved with a powerful Spirit Gathering Array, he sat cross-legged with an aura of authority, surrounded by countless Immortal Spirit Qi. His white robe fluttered without wind, resembling the immortal from ancient legends.
Taoist Master Hongzhen has lived over a hundred thousand years, and even for the long-lived Taoist Master, at his age, he is considered to have entered his twilight years.
Under the long epoch’s baptism, his body has inevitably begun to show signs of aging, with slightly loose skin, wrinkles at the corner of his eyes, and even his once jet-black beard has turned gray. Yet his aura and bearing, instead of diminishing under the epoch’s influence, have become increasingly awe-inspiring, making people look up to him in fear.
Suddenly.
The protector came to report, "Respectfully informing the Supreme, Sacred Supreme Yunhai has returned to the Taoist Palace to report, requesting an audience with the Taoist Master."
Taoist Master Hongzhen slowly opened his eyes, revealing eyes that seemed to have endured endless epochs, deep and profound, "That kid Yunhai is back again? It’s only been a few hundred years, right?"
"Uh... probably around five hundred years," the protector said, holding back laughter, "I remember the last time he came to the Taoist Palace was to celebrate his thirty thousandth birthday."
Not celebrating in his own Yunhai Heavenly Abode, but coming to the Taoist Palace to organize a birthday banquet, only Sacred Supreme Yunhai would do such a thing.
"Yes, I remember that time he ’collected’ many gifts." Taoist Master Hongzhen said with a reminiscent expression, "Even I had to reluctantly give him a big red envelope, yet he then excused saying there was a major incident back in the Heavenly Abode needing immediate attention. Then, he just took a cloud boat full of gifts back home..."
However, before leaving, Sacred Supreme Yunhai did "sincerely invite" everyone to visit Yunhai Heavenly Abode, promising to personally host a banquet to make up for it.
