Everyone selected you as the representative, and had you co out to handle matters and speak up. You could have refused at first, but once you agreed and then shrank away at the critical mont, what was that all about?
Among everyone there were widows and those who never married, but at this mont, they all shared one thought.
Co on, let's see who is unlucky or fortunate.
Then, the drawing began.
A small cat fishing array unfolded, and the Golden Cores each released a strand of their essence, forming a compass in the void. Afterwards, the compass began to spin randomly and eventually, stopped on one person's essence.
"Ah, congratulations, sister."
"Sister, now that you're the newcor, don't forget about us sisters."
"Alas, sister, we're counting on you."
Coincidentally, the one chosen this ti was Master Peony, one of the Immortal Sect's "Five Flowers" from the previous generation.
It was said to be coincidental because all five sisters were stunning beauties who could overthrow cities and nations with their charm, but Master Peony was the one who best matched ng Yu's aesthetic.
Clouds long for clothes, flowers vie for beauty, the spring breeze sweeps the threshold with vivid dew.
A single branch, gorgeous and fragrant with dew, the futile heartbreak of clouds and rain over Mount Wu.
Among the Immortal Sect's "Five Flowers," Peony is the most fragrant, Peony is the most bright!
With her elegant and striking beauty, Peony Fairy stood there stunned, like a frightened rabbit.
"Tch."
Soone outside humd twice, as others still wanted to see more excitent; who would have thought that the softest character, Master Peony, would be chosen.
The Immortal Sect's "Five Flowers" were never known for their combat skills. The forr Peony Fairy had not retired because she married but had voluntarily stepped down seventy years ago, handing over her place to a junior. She was also recognized as a genuinely gentle, good person, with a character similar to Bai Qianqian's, stunningly beautiful but modest, mainly known for her contrasting charm, which had fascinated countless admirers in her ti.
"I..."
Her face was red as the morning glow, but she couldn't speak.
How could it be her? The thought of the things ng Yu played with, the disorganized contents of the Storage Bag, threw her into a greater panic.
"Alright, everyone, please leave. Ti is short."
Master Taohua clapped her hands, stopping everyone's desire to continue the commotion, and sent the crowd out. Then she very solemnly addressed Peony Fairy.
"Sister, please keep your promise."
The promise was to randomly select one among five, to observe ng Yu's basic law, but they had sworn never to reveal any information before obtaining ng Yu's consent, and anwhile, to fully comply with ng Yu's orders without any defiance.
The terms were extrely harsh, the covenant very strict. If there was any violation, ng Yu would retaliate in the cruellest way, and similarly, Fairy Taohua and others would also take drastic actions.
They had proposed this form of communication, and assured the integrity of the selection of one among five, which convinced ng Yu to agree!
This was because, traditionally, it wasn't ng Yu seeking everyone out, but everyone seeking ng Yu. If there was a fallout, it was for others to make concessions, not for ng Yu to provide assurances!
Now, ng Yu, prioritizing the bigger picture, took the initiative to prove this; no one should cause any mischief!
As for the potential problems that might arise, that was... the price you should be prepared to pay!
"I..."
Looking at the richly dressed and notably plumper Fairy Taohua in front of her, Master Peony suddenly felt dry-mouthed.
"Don't speak out of turn; you don't have a choice."
Fairy Taohua pressed on the elder's shoulder, urging her to calm down.
"Now, first..."
