"Sect Master, this matter is... It was this concubine’s impulsive decision, no, it was..."
Upon hearing this, Lady Lan beca anxious and wanted to defend herself, but upon seeing Sect Master Ding Jifeng’s cold gaze, she imdiately felt a chill and dared not say more.
"It was this concubine’s mistake in speaking..."
She apologized reluctantly.
"However..."
Ding Jifeng glanced at Lady Lan again, stroked his long beard, and revealed a contemplative expression. After a short while, he said, "Although our Nanhua Sect cannot completely refuse the Butian Sect’s request, as an Ally, we should inform Ruan Baii of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace about this matter and let him take care of it in advance..."
Between the Butian Sect and the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, he still tended to help the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, their traditional Ally, even though it was no longer the sa sect as before...
"Yes, Sect Master."
Hearing his words, the aggrieved Lady Lan’s face showed a hint of joy. She quickly bowed to Ding Jifeng, then turned into an Escaping Light and left the Great Hall.
「One-quarter of an hour later.」
「Nanhua Sect, Welco Hall.」
"Yes, Elder Aunt Lan."
"Ruan Baii knows about this matter and will handle it properly. He won’t let the Nanhua Sect and the Flying Feather Immortal Palace be embarrassed..."
Ruan Baii’s expression did not change after listening to Lady Lan’s report. As always, he was as gentle as jade.
He smiled and said, "This ti, Elder Aunt Lan, you have spoken for our Flying Feather Immortal Palace, offending quite a few people in the Nanhua Sect. By reason and sentint, our Sect should be more grateful to you..."
As he spoke, he took out a Mutton fat jade bottle from his Sleeve, used his Magic Power, and delivered it to the table in front of Lady Lan.
"This is a asure of Three Yin Heavy Water, which matches the Cultivation thod you need... Originally, I planned to give this as a thank-you gift after the Marriage Contract was signed..."
"But now, it’s uncertain whether the Marriage Contract will be successful, so I’ll give this Treasure to you first. If the marriage takes place, I’ll choose another thank-you gift for you, Elder Aunt Lan," Ruan Baii said.
A daughter married out is like water splashed out. Lady Lan could help her family in the Flying Feather Immortal Palace get a little more support, which could be considered as fulfilling her utmost duty...
After all, the Nanhua Sect of today is Lady Lan’s true Sect, providing her with status, Resources, and various benefits.
Her willingness to help the Flying Feather Immortal Palace might be related to family affection. However, it was more importantly because the Flying Feather Immortal Palace was willing to offer benefits and could help her advance further on the path of Cultivation.
Otherwise, without benefits, who would be willing to be a double-dealer, untrusted by their own Sect?
Three Yin Heavy Water is a Dao Principles Spiritual Object containing fragnts of the Great Dao of Yin Cold. In the Nascent Soul Realm, it is considered a top-grade Treasure.
"Thank you, Junior Sect Leader."
Seeing the Three Yin Heavy Water, Lady Lan’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly thanked Ruan Baii.
Afterward, she accepted the Three Yin Heavy Water and, with a flick of her narrow Sleeve, transford into an old woman, hurrying out of the Welco Hall where the Flying Feather Immortal Palace delegation was located.
"Our Sect’s alliance with the Nanhua Sect has lasted for tens of thousands of years; Xu Xing can’t break that..."
The Ruan Family Taoist Lord ca out of the inner palace. He glanced at Ruan Baii, who was imrsed in thought, hesitated for a mont, and then tried to comfort him.
With the backing of the Higher Teachings, Ruan Baii seemingly held an advantage in everyone’s eyes.
However... in the Cultivation World, Realm is supre!
Xu Xing was a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord, no less than the Sect Leader-level Daoist Monarchs of the Ten Great Sect Leaders. One could imagine the pressure this put on Ruan Baii, who was still a Dao Pill Daoist...
"World uncle, I understand."
Ruan Baii waved gently, indicating that the Ruan Family Taoist Lord did not need to persuade him further. He sighed and said, "Ever since Xu Xing killed Song Knife... I still have lingering fears in my heart..."
"That man is good at concealnt. If he is unprepared, he will not act rashly, lest he attract unwanted attention."
"This ti, the Butian Sect has arrived with great montum, with three Tower Boats. In my nephew’s opinion, it’s definitely not just for a show of strength. There must be a reason and a backup plan..."
As his words fell, the Ruan Family Taoist Lord did not refute. He nodded in deep agreent, a trace of caution in his eyes, and said, "Xu Xing’s strategies and strength are not sothing ordinary people can match. Song Knife had the inheritance of the Lingxiao Dao Lord but was still outmaneuvered by Xu Xing, who was in the sa Realm. You and I... must be cautious in handling this."
"However..."
At this point, the Ruan Family Taoist Lord paused, surprised, then asked curiously, "Before you left the Sect, Baii, you assured us uncles that you were very confident about this trip. Why... now that the ti has co, do you seem hesitant...?"
After the internal turmoil in the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, the Master and Disciple Lineage was abolished. Consequently, the way of addressing each other changed to emphasize blood relations. For instance, "World uncle" replaced "master’s uncle," which was derived from the master and disciple relationship.
"It’s only natural for a True Monarch to fear a Daoist Lord. World uncle, why must you be so harsh on your nephew?" Ruan Baii replied with a slight smile, not attempting to argue. He touched a Five-Color Jade Bi in his robes and spoke with composure.
Amidst the discussions of the various sects, the three Tower Boats of the Butian Sect continued to fly at high speed. Only when they were about a hundred miles from the Nanhua Sect’s main gate did they finally reduce their speed.
"The Divine Sense of the External Sect Daoist Monarch has been withdrawn. It seems the Nanhua Sect has agreed to let our Tower Boats descend..."
"Well, the Nanhua Sect is a famous righteous sect, after all. We’ve co all this way to honor their Sect’s grand event; they can’t very well ignore us and tarnish their reputation..."
