63: Minister of Evangelism
White Saint — — Arrived!
Wedding Gift — — One tael of Wu Dao Tea!
To show solemnity, the announcement echoing outside the Chongxuan Pavilion's mountain gate was not only loud but intentionally repeated three times!
Ensuring that all living beings within a radius of ten thousand miles could hear it!
It wasn't that she was being treated differently from others, but that this gift was too significant! It was too grand!
As expected, with the announcement from outside the mountain gate, the many Xuan Realm powerhouses already waiting on the White Jade Immortal Platform in Chongxuan Pavilion immediately burst into an uproar.
"Holy crap! Wu Dao Tea?? Just a wedding? Sending this thing? Is it necessary? Who is this White Saint? Is she crazy?"
"Is it that Wu Dao Tea that, with one sip, the Dao and its laws come naturally?"
"Yes, this tea is a Peerless Grade treasure of heaven and earth, extremely rare. One qian used means one qian less. Even the various transcendent forces with countless years of Legacy and profound foundations might not be able to accumulate one tael."
"Envious! So envious! Chu Saint's already wealthy fortune has become even wealthier."
"This Wu Dao Tea is too rare, seldom seen in the world. If there was a place to exchange it, this Saint wouldn't be greedy, just one tael! This Saint is willing to exchange it for a Saint Rank weapon!"
"What are you thinking? Wu Dao Tea has become extinct in our Xuan Realm. You want to exchange one tael for a Saint Rank weapon? One qian would be amazing!"
"It's like you can find a place to exchange it. This is a Saint; only a Saint can be so overbearing!"
"Overbearing? Your family is overbearing enough to give Wu Dao Tea as a gift? Although I don't know who this White Saint is, I can be sure that White Saint must have a life-and-death friendship with Chu Saint!"
"..."
These Xuan Realm powerhouses were all stimulated!
Their eyes were envious like rabbits'.
Wu Dao Tea!
This was one tael of Wu Dao Tea! Do you understand the value contained within??
Legend has it that if you brew it with supreme spiritual spring water, one sip brings Epiphany, two sips break through a Rank, and three sips make you happy like an immortal — that's Wu Dao Tea!
Extremely rare! Extremely precious!
Apart from the treasuries of some extremely ancient forces, it's impossible for it to appear elsewhere. And now, this White Saint used it as a wedding gift, truly giving Chu Saint immense Face.
The Elders of Chongxuan Pavilion all had Faces smiling like daisies.
They hadn't expected that before they even started to show off Chu Heavenly Emperor, someone would be so supportive!
Although it wasn't given to them, Chu Heavenly Emperor was marrying their Chongxuan Pavilion's Pavilion Master today.
Giving Chu Heavenly Emperor Face, didn't that mean giving Chongxuan Pavilion Face?
They felt honored!
"White Saint, please take your seat!"
"White Saint, this is your seat!"
"..."
Watching a peerless girl in a white dress, petite in stature, stepping through the Void Realm with bare feet from outside the mountain gate.
The Elders eagerly went to greet her, leading her to the best viewing spot on the White Jade Immortal Platform, high above the clouds.
Although they didn't know Bai Xin'er's origin, just this heavy one tael of Wu Dao Tea alone was enough!
Let alone sitting in a VIP seat, no one would dare to object even if she sat at the main table!
"Heh heh."
Hearing the surrounding discussions, all looking like they hadn't seen the world, Bai Xin'er's lips curved slightly.
Wu Dao Tea was not only rare in the Xuan Realm, but even in the Heavenly Demon Realm, which was countless times vaster than the Xuan Realm, it was an absolute rarity.
Even this former Quasi-Emperor only had less than five taels.
And this time, she took out a full tael.
"Stinky man, this heavy gift, is it enough for a favor?"
Bai Xin'er's peach blossom eyes flickered, her gaze looking down at the huge White Jade Immortal Platform below. Because the auspicious hour had not yet arrived, Chu Feng had not yet appeared.
Thinking of the surprised look on that man's Face, who kept talking about 'tons and tons', Bai Xin'er felt inexplicably pleased.
"Eh?"
She glanced at the edge of the Celestial Court again, and the smile on her lips grew even wider: "Did they leave? A bunch of short-sighted fools."
On this trip to Chongxuan Pavilion, Bai Xin'er had disguised herself and couldn't use her Divine Thought on a large scale, but the aura outside the mountain gate was still too ostentatious, easily perceivable.
Outside the Chongxuan Pavilion's mountain gate, there were nearly ten Saint auras.
Just now, after the Wu Dao Tea announcement echoed, most of the Saints turned around and left, disappearing without a trace.
The few remaining also hesitated for a moment before choosing to leave.
They were all Saints of the Xuan Realm, and some had arrived early but chose not to reveal themselves.
The reason was simple: they were Saints, and naturally, they had to make a grand entrance at the end.
If Chu Feng wasn't a Great Saint now, these Saints wouldn't even come to this small wedding.
But who would have thought someone would send such a Heaven-Defying thing as Wu Dao Tea??
How were they supposed to play along now?
Everyone has a competitive spirit.
Everyone is a Saint. If you bring Wu Dao Tea, shouldn't I bring something of the same Rank?
It's not that they couldn't produce something of the Wu Dao Tea's Rank, but it wasn't worth it!
They weren't close, so just sending some symbolic gift would have been fine.
But now that someone had sent Wu Dao Tea, how could they just send something symbolic?
Damn it!
It was better to pretend they hadn't shown up at all.
So these Saints simply acted as if they hadn't come, which was better than being forced into something they didn't want to do.
But in Bai Xin'er's view, Chu Feng was an extremely extraordinary person.
His value far exceeded one tael of Wu Dao Tea; at least it was worth a jin.
Attending a wedding like this was an excellent way to make connections.
Giving up the chance to connect with him just because of comparison was an extremely foolish act.
Bai Xin'er withdrew her thoughts, her gaze suddenly seeing a figure appear outside the mountain gate, and she narrowed her eyes.
"Sima Great Sage — — Arrived!"
"Wedding Gift — — Three qian of Wu Dao Tea!"
Outside the mountain gate, a loud announcement suddenly rang out.
Someone else sent Wu Dao Tea!
Although it was only three qian, it was still a substantial gift!
Moreover, the person who came was a Great Saint!
Everyone's eyes collectively swept over, only to see at the end of the sky a blue-robed man, not tall but sturdy, arriving on clouds with a gentle smile. Although he wasn't fat, his Face was very round and had a great sense of affinity, making people unconsciously feel close to him.
"Hello, Fellow Daoists."
The blue-robed man walked over, without any airs, waving and greeting everyone around him, his smile growing even brighter.
"Sima Great Sage."
"Greetings, Sima Great Sage."
"Old Ancestor, you've come."
"..."
Immediately, the powerhouses from various transcendent forces present all lowered their postures, responding to the blue-robed man and bowing.
Among them, an old man approached with a bitter smile; he was precisely the Sima Family Head, and this blue-robed man was the Old Ancestor, Si Budao, who had previously claimed to have severed ties with them.
Si Budao smiled and greeted everyone, then looked at Elder Jiang, who had come to greet him, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my pockets have been empty lately, I only have three qian of Wu Dao Tea. Fellow Daoists of Chongxuan Pavilion, please don't despise it."
Elder Jiang quickly waved his hand, flattered: "Not at all, not at all. Everyone who comes to Chongxuan today is a distinguished guest. Sima Great Sage, with such sincerity, how dare we despise it."
"Hahaha."
Si Budao said with a laugh: "That's good, that's good. As soon as I arrived, I felt that the atmosphere in your Chongxuan Pavilion is super good, it feels like home."
He seemed to remember something and announced to everyone around: "Oh, by the way, everyone, please don't call me Sima Great Sage. I've changed my name. Just call me Si Grand Saint."
Sima Family Head: "..."
All the Xuan Realm powerhouses: "..."
Bai Xin'er: "..."
Veins were almost popping out on the Sima Family Head's forehead, and he couldn't help but say: "Old Ancestor, stop messing around. The crisis in the Xuan Realm has already been resolved. Xuan Emperor, that old lady, has completely wiped out the demons. With her guarding, even if all the Demon Subduing Magic Arrays are gone now, and all 77 passages are wide open, no demons from that side have dared to come out yet. You don't need to avoid anything."
Bai Xin'er: ???
What the hell?
Who is Xuan Emperor?
All 77 passages are open, what's going on?
She knew too well the importance of the Demon Subduing Magic Array to the Xuan Realm.
Previously, when three Demon Subduing Magic Arrays were destroyed, the Xuan Realm's source treasure was forced to appear.
If all 77 passages were broken, why aren't they running away? Still holding a wedding here??
She felt like she had missed something, having the illusion that she had been in seclusion for thousands of years only to emerge and find that the world had been turned upside down.
Seeing his great-grandson approach, Si Budao waved indifferently: "What do you know! You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Don't associate with me now. We have no relation. It's best if we each go our separate ways."
"But, but..."
"No buts! Stay aside. Today is a joyous day for Chongxuan Pavilion. Don't force me to slap you at the happiest moment, Sima Qi!"
Meeting such an Old Ancestor, Sima Qi was almost in tears: "Old Ancestor, since we have no relation, can you give me back the three qian of Wu Dao Tea you just sent? If I remember correctly, that was from the clan treasury..."
Slap!
Slapping Sima Qi away, Si Budao walked towards the Immortal Platform where Bai Xin'er was, smiling as he walked: "Hahaha, the little brats in my family are unfilial, making everyone laugh. You all continue."
"..."
The whole place was silent.
So, you really did have empty pockets.
All along, Great Saints in their minds were always full of swagger like Chu Feng.
Si Budao's appearance shattered their filter. They never expected a Great Saint to be so unreliable.
Si Budao clearly didn't care about Face. After arriving at the Immortal Platform arranged for him by Chongxuan Pavilion, he glanced at Bai Xin'er and leaned over, saying: "Eh? This Fellow Daoist seems a bit unfamiliar."
Bai Xin'er said faintly: "I've lived in seclusion for many years and don't like socializing."
Si Budao realized: "Indeed, indeed."
He suddenly said: "Don't like socializing, yet you send such a valuable gift? Fellow Daoist, are you also here to seek cooperation with this Chu Saint?"
Bai Xin'er narrowed her eyes, looking at him.
Si Budao mysteriously raised an eyebrow at her, giving her a look that said 'you know, I know': "Don't worry, I'm the same."
"The Xuan Realm is about to end. We need to stick together."
"If that terrifying existence from the other side of the passage attacks, we won't even know how we died."
