192: I appreciate your appreciation, but you misunderstood.

“Little Friend Chu, as the Son-in-law of the Immortal Tomb and the Eight Heavens Champion, was once the Holy Son of the Supreme Mystery Holy Land in the Eastern Wilderness Southern Region.”

“Even if he were to join a Holy Land, it wouldn't be your Celestial Pivot Holy Land's turn, would it?”

The Old Ancestor Yuheng's words were extremely impolite; in his opinion, the Celestial Pivot Holy Land was inferior to Jade Balance.

Moreover, he had understood the other party's intentions.

If they took Chu Ying as their Holy Son, wouldn't they obtain the ancient scriptures of their Three Holy Lands for free?

Truly cunning!

Old Ancestor Changkong, however, did not get angry, smiling faintly: “How is it not Celestial Pivot's turn?”

“Just based on the Tianxuan Holy Maiden of my Celestial Pivot Holy Land.”

Old Ancestor Changkong looked towards Saintess Qiu Lingsu.

Speaking of which, he was considered Qiu Lingsu's grand-Revered Master, as Li Yong was taught by him, and Li Yong's Dao Companion was Qiu Lingsu's Revered Master.

Both of them had also received a lot of guidance from him when they were young.

“Ling'er, come over,” the beautiful woman said with a smile, looking at Qiu Lingsu beside her.

As soon as Old Ancestor Changkong announced that Chu Ying was the new Celestial Pivot Holy Son, Qiu Lingsu was already stunned.

Lost and bewildered, in disbelief.

The expectations in her heart had become reality, making her feel as if she were dreaming.

At the same time, there was apprehension and nervousness.

After all, she was also aware, with Chu Ying's identity as the Son-in-law of the Immortal Tomb, could he accept joining the Celestial Pivot Holy Land to become a Holy Son?

“Ah? Revered Master, I…”

Dazed, Qiu Lingsu heard the beautiful woman speaking to her, came back to her senses, and stammered, unsure of what to do.

Seeing Qiu Lingsu not coming over, Old Ancestor Changkong frowned slightly, thinking to himself why the Holy Daughter of this generation of Celestial Pivot was so slow-witted.

If she could become a Dao Companion with this Little Friend Chu, that would be an immense stroke of luck.

“Hahahahaha!”

“Ancestor Changkong, do you truly believe this Little Friend Chu would be interested in your Celestial Pivot's Holy Daughter?”

“Little Friend Chu is as elegant as a jade tree, with extraordinary talent and boundless potential for the future. How could he be someone indulging in feminine charms? Although we are currently at odds with Little Friend Chu, we will not deny these facts.”

The Old Ancestor Yuheng showed a mocking expression, his smile even more disdainful.

In his opinion, how could an peerless Tianjiao like Chu Ying care about beauty?

So-called beauty is worthless in these chaotic times, and in the end, it's just like withered branches and fallen leaves after a flower fades. In this world, only powerful cultivation strength is true confidence.

Moreover, his own Holy Land also has a Holy Daughter; aren't the three Holy Daughters of the Three Great Sacred Grounds appealing?

Why do you think he would be interested in your Celestial Pivot's Holy Daughter?

These words immediately caused Old Ancestor Changkong's face to darken, an expression of displeasure appearing on his face.

“Cough cough…”

But just then, Chu Ying coughed.

“I appreciate the praise from the Jade Balance's Senior, but I think the Senior has misunderstood.”

“To be honest, I came to the Celestial Pivot Holy Land precisely for Saintess Qiu, Miss Qiu.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone present was once again dumbfounded and speechless.

The Old Ancestor Yuheng felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face, and he found it even more incredible.

As the Consort of the Immortal Tomb, why would this young man act and speak in such a way? Didn't he care about the Immortal Tomb's reputation?

However, Chu Ying bowed to Old Ancestor Changkong and said:

“Junior thanks the Celestial Pivot Senior for his appreciation. I am willing to join the Celestial Pivot Holy Land and assume the position of Holy Son.”

At this moment, Chu Ying didn't say anything like 'as long as Celestial Pivot doesn't abandon him, he won't abandon Celestial Pivot'.

As he said, he came for Qiu Lingsu.

He might not be very loyal to the Celestial Pivot Holy Land, but he would definitely do something for Qiu Lingsu.

“Young Master Chu…”

After hearing Chu Ying's words, Qiu Lingsu's cheeks flushed, and her heart pounded.

She truly hadn't expected Chu Ying to openly declare that he came for her, in front of so many Great Sect Leaders and Saintly Beings from the Central Region.

Isn't this… expressing his feelings…

Could it be that Young Master Chu's teasing words earlier were actually his true feelings?

Qiu Lingsu's head felt dizzy, and her face grew hotter and hotter.

“Haha! Good!”

Old Ancestor Changkong laughed heartily, it seemed he was indeed correct.

Chu Ying's relationship with our Celestial Pivot's Holy Daughter is indeed extraordinary; now it seems they are already deeply in love.

No wonder the Holy Daughter, that little girl, was so hesitant and shy just now, not daring to come over.

His old bones simply couldn't understand it.

“Please, Fellow Daoist, move inside the hall and rest for a while.”

“In half an hour, my Celestial Pivot Holy Land will hold the Holy Son Conferment Ceremony.”

Old Ancestor Changkong laughed heartily, his gaze sweeping over the various sect leaders one by one, also resting on the people from the Thunder Punishment Holy Land.

The Cultivators of the Thunder Punishment Holy Land at this moment wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

They had come aggressively, and had even invited the major forces from the Central Region without prior approval, attempting to coerce Celestial Pivot into a marriage alliance to obtain the Tianxuan Sutra, which was their cooperation with the Three Great Sacred Grounds.

However, they didn't expect the Celestial Pivot Laozu to be so strong, and this suddenly arrived Chu Ying had also severely defeated their Holy Son, directly causing them to lose all face.

It seemed that the Thunder Punishment Holy Land begging for a marriage alliance with the Celestial Pivot Holy Land had become a joke.

At this moment, even if the people of the Thunder Punishment Holy Land wanted to leave, they couldn't find a suitable reason. Of course, if they insisted on leaving, it would be even more embarrassing.

“Congratulations! Congratulations to Celestial Pivot for finding a peerless Holy Son!”

“With Chu Ying, the Holy Son, in charge, the Celestial Pivot Holy Land's trip to the Endless Sea Summit will surely be foolproof!”

“I think this is a mutual attraction between Chu Ying, the Holy Son, and the Celestial Pivot Holy Daughter. No wonder Chu Ying escorted the Saintess Qiu all the way.”

The various Great Sect Leaders were also shrewd individuals, laughing and offering congratulations. They had originally come for a marriage alliance, but now it seemed not much different.

Those who brought congratulatory gifts happily presented them, seeking to establish ties with the Celestial Pivot Holy Land.

After all, with Chu Ying becoming the Holy Son of the Celestial Pivot Holy Land, it also established a connection with the Immortal Tomb to some extent.

Although…

The Immortal Tomb should be the father-in-law's family of Chu Ying, the Holy Son, yet Chu Ying joined Celestial Pivot for another woman, which felt a bit strange.

But it was understandable.

Young and dashing, especially for a peerless Eight Heavens Champion.

Saint Lord Li Yong and the various Peak Lords and Elders were also all smiles; it was truly a sudden turn of events, a pleasant surprise after a winding path.

They also warmly entertained these sect leaders, guiding them to rest.

“Hehe, it seems the congratulatory gifts we brought were not in vain. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Celestial Pivot. Perhaps we will need Celestial Pivot's continued care in the future,” the Feng Family Saintly Being said with a wry smile.

“Not at all, Fellow Daoist Feng Family, you flatter us,” Li Yong said, shaking his head seriously:

“Our Celestial Pivot Holy Land is still willing to form an alliance with the Feng Family. The Netherworld First Grade Hall is a great menace to the entire Eastern Wilderness.”

“Indeed, my Feng Family Saint Lord will discuss the alliance with you,” the Feng Family Saintly Being nodded, and also smiled and nodded towards Chu Ying's direction.

The Elder of the Zi Xia Holy Land was not as articulate, but he also presented a congratulatory gift and was invited inside.

There were also four Holy Lands that stood out like a sore thumb, naturally, the Thunder Punishment Holy Land and the Beidou Three Holy Lands.

“Are you all planning to stay and attend our Celestial Pivot Holy Land's Holy Son Conferment Ceremony, or will you be leaving now?”

Old Ancestor Changkong of Celestial Pivot, who was conversing with Chu Ying, looked indifferently at the Old Ancestor Yuheng and the others, without much welcoming warmth.
