131: How damn unfilial!
Xuan Wei froze, lowering her head to look at the gift she had prepared.
She had a favor to ask of Willow God, so she had naturally put some thought into what gift to give.
Clutched in her palm was a two-finger-wide crimson treasure pearl. Within the pearl, profound fire burned ceaselessly, its aura ethereal; it was clearly no ordinary item.
This was a xuanling pearl, a top-tier Material of Celestial Sovereign Rank, exceptionally rare. It could be used for Artifact Refining, for Cultivating special Immortal Arts and Divine Abilities, and even as medicine, making it highly versatile.
For an Invincible Immortal King like Willow God, it was, of course, not of much use.
But even if she were to give Willow God a quasi-Immortal King supreme treasure, like Immortal King Tianji and the others, would Willow God find it useful?
In Xuan Wei's opinion, giving gifts shouldn't solely focus on value; it should stem from need.
If Willow God were to have any outstanding Immortal Lord Realm juniors like her in the future, bestowing this xuanling pearl upon them would be very suitable.
Given her status, giving such a xuanling pearl was already more precious than what Azure Dragon Immortal Lord and Little Saint Lord had given, definitely not shabby.
What was Xie Yuan barking about?
Xuan Wei felt a touch of displeasure in her heart and retorted, "Is there a problem?"
Xie Yuan said helplessly, "Of course there's a problem! How can you give such a cheap item?"
He looked at the xuanling pearl in Xuan Wei's hand, feeling a bit annoyed.
Could Xuan Wei's status be the same as other Immortal Lords?
Although Willow God wasn't your biological grandmother, she was still a grandmother!
First meeting, and you give this?
Isn't this slapping your grandfather's face?
If he hadn't known anything before, he wouldn't have thought there was a problem.
But now that he knew Xuan Wei's background, he felt it was a bit too much!
Xuan Wei's net worth was definitely not low; she could certainly produce a quasi-Immortal King-Rank supreme treasure!
But now she was just giving a broken spirit pearl; Willow God might not even know who she was.
How humiliating is this for your grandfather?!
Honestly speaking, after deciding in his heart to draw a line with Xuan Wei, Xie Yuan had no intention of fawning over Xuan Wei.
But if he wasn't fawning over Xuan Wei, he had to fawn over his grandfather!
Chu Ge was much easier to get along with than Xuan Wei, so of course, he had to stand on Chu Feng's side and consider things for him.
Think about it: if I were Chu Feng, full of joy, preparing a big surprise for my good granddaughter, even dragging the reluctant Willow God along to cooperate.
Afterward, once your Xuan Wei identity was exposed, the whole place would be in awe and shock.
You'd directly pull off a show-off, displaying your power in front of everyone, maxing out your Immortal Realm reputation!
But the key was, I knew you weren't Willow God's granddaughter, but others didn't!
They would definitely subconsciously assume Willow God was your biological grandmother!
This was your biological grandmother and grandfather supporting you!
If someone with a keen eye investigated and found out you gave your biological grandmother a broken spirit pearl before the Grand Ceremony, how would others see it?
You are truly unfilial!
Alright, alright, even if you, Xuan Wei, are pure and noble!
But with a formidable grandmother like Willow God, you should at least try to build a good relationship, right?
Willow God had already noticed you when she opened the Domain Gate, so she must have been watching you all along!
You give such a broken pearl?
What if Willow God takes a disliking to you and goes to trouble my Chu Ge?
This granddaughter is truly too ignorant.
Xie Yuan was furious!
He wished he could give it on her behalf!
But he couldn't; if he did, what would that make it?
At this moment, Xuan Wei, whose expression was gradually turning cold, said unhappily, "Alliance Leader Xie, I don't understand what you're saying, and you're being a bit too meddlesome, aren't you?"
Meddlesome?
Xie Yuan paused, then suddenly realized.
No, this willful woman didn't know Willow God was his grandmother; giving the xuanling pearl seemed fine.
He could only subtly remind her, "Miss Xuan, I really shouldn't interfere, but you're different; you need to show some sincerity."
Xuan Wei's face showed annoyance: "Is a xuanling pearl not sincere enough? And I also sent a Celestial Sovereign Rank immortal robe when Willow God ascended the rankings. Xie Yuan, you are truly strange today."
She didn't give Xie Yuan a good look.
Constantly showing goodwill would only make the other party look down on her.
Appropriate displays of temper help seize control of the conversation between two people.
Moreover, Xie Yuan was indeed being unreasonable this time!
She made a decision in her heart: if Xie Yuan couldn't produce three to five top-tier Celestial Sovereign Rank treasures after this display of anger, he shouldn't expect a kind look from her.
Xie Yuan looked bitter.
He didn't find Xuan Wei's reaction problematic.
His mistake was simply knowing too much.
And Chu Ge wouldn't let him say more, leaving him in a difficult position.
"Alliance Leader Xie, I'll take my leave first."
Xuan Wei said coldly.
Her divine sword soared through the air, emitting a radiant light and stirring up clouds of Qi.
If it weren't for Xie Yuan's status, she would have already lost her temper and cursed him.
Wait.
Suddenly, Xuan Wei's sword paused slightly, slowing down.
She seemed to have realized something.
This rich guy was the organizer of this Immortal King Grand Ceremony.
He must know many inside stories.
His constipated expression just now, wanting to speak but not daring to, clearly implied something to me...
"The gift was too light."
"I'm different; I need to show sincerity..."
Xuan Wei murmured, memories flashing through her mind.
Without her teacher there to help her deliberate, she was a bit unaccustomed and needed to carefully sort through the information.
Suddenly, her heart trembled, and a bold thought emerged.
"Wait."
"Could it be... Willow God thinks highly of me? Even wants to choose me as her Legacy holder?"
Xuan Wei's pupils constricted, her mind racing, instantly deducing the possibilities.
Not long after, her eyes burst with brilliant light!
Combining Willow God's previous attention, Xie Yuan's subtle hints, and many past experiences, she was ninety-nine percent certain that the possibility of Willow God fancying her was extremely high!
This wasn't something difficult to understand, nor was she being narcissistic!
Instead, Xuan Wei had grown accustomed to such experiences of being favored by powerful figures!
Because she was an Innate Chaos Sword Physique!
This was a super Physique unseen in the Immortal Realm for a million years!
Let alone Willow God, even the Sword Domain had paid attention to her, inviting her to participate in the Sword Domain trials!
A few days ago, that mysterious old ghost sealed within the chaotic space-time relic she had fallen into also wanted to take her as his Legacy holder!
In the Immortal Realm, there were simply too few outstanding female Immortals!
And someone as Prodigious as her was truly unique in the world!
It was perfectly reasonable for Willow God to fancy her.
"If that's the case, then Xie Yuan was right."
"This xuanling pearl I'm giving is too shabby."
Xuan Wei's eyes flickered. Even knowing Xie Yuan was trying to help her, she wasn't in a hurry to thank him; she'd let him stew for a bit first.
She was pondering.
The xuanling pearl couldn't be given, so what should she give?
A quasi-Immortal King supreme treasure?
She did indeed have several on hand right now.
"Not enough. Even if Willow God has taken a liking to me, my every action is equally important."
"I need to let her see my sincerity."
At this moment, she immediately made a decision in her heart.
Others wanted to take her, and she was also choosing; this was a mutual selection!
Willow God was an Invincible Immortal King, and a woman!
Compared to that sealed old ghost, she had a much better impression of Willow God!
No pain, no gain!
Since Willow God's attention to her was already clear, she wouldn't pretend anymore!
She wanted to be the most dazzling person at today's Immortal King Grand Ceremony!
Let all the spotlights shine on her!
She rode her sword to the edge of the Abyss Pool, her expression devout, and with a flick of her finger across her chest, she sent out a supreme treasure!
The middle-aged Immortal King's pupils dilated as he watched a brilliant purple light fall into the Abyss Pool!
"Immortal Lord Xuan Wei presents a supreme treasure of the Immortal King—one Sky-Reaching Purple Extreme Gourd!"
"Please enter!"
