45: Section 45

If Chu Mo had been there, he would have recognized this young Martial Artist as Zhang Fan.

Ever since the Opportunity that was rightfully his was seized, Zhang Fan had felt a constant agitation, unable to calm himself enough to cultivate.

He simply left the Sect, partly to clear his head, and partly hoping to encounter some Opportunities.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at a mountain forest, he suddenly sensed his jade stone vibrating, and then he met the Third Prince of the Tai'an Imperial Dynasty, who was searching for the Cangyuan Bead. So, he appeared and offered some assistance.

The Third Prince had always cherished talent.

Zhang Fan first helped him obtain the treasure, and after some conversation, the Third Prince learned that he was a Disciple of the Taichu Holy Land, and his demeanor was quite proper. Therefore, he enthusiastically invited him to the Imperial City.

Zhang Fan also wished to befriend him.

So, he readily agreed.

On the way back, the two conversed as they traveled.

Although Zhang Fan's cultivation was only at the True Spirit Realm, his conversation was excellent, and he occasionally uttered brilliant remarks. Gradually, the Third Prince came to regard him even more highly.

"Mr. Zhang, you are too modest!" the Third Prince said warmly.

Although he hadn't known Zhang Fan for long, in his opinion, this person was no ordinary individual and was destined for Major Achievement in the future.

Listening to the Third Prince's praise, Zhang Fan, despite priding himself on his resolute mind, couldn't help but feel a little lightheaded at that moment.

In the Taichu Holy Land, there were Prodigies everywhere, especially the scene where Chu Mo and Su Lian Yue were successively conferred as True Disciple and Saintess, which left a deep impression on him.

Even though he possessed the jade stone that could find Opportunities, he truly couldn't feel any sense of superiority.

But after leaving the Holy Land, to be so highly regarded by the Third Prince of the Tai'an Imperial Dynasty, a person of noble status, made him feel somewhat pleased with himself.

However, he still retained some rationality and did not get overly carried away, so he humbly declined a few more times.

And just as they were chatting, an Elder suddenly arrived and whispered a few words into the Third Prince's ear.

After speaking, the Elder turned and left.

As for the Third Prince, his face showed excitement.

"Mr. Zhang, it's truly a coincidence that you've come to the Imperial City this time!"

"I just received news that Elder Cangming of Zhu Xuan Temple will be holding a banquet tonight to welcome a True Disciple from the Taichu Holy Land. I also received an invitation, so you can come with me tonight."

"It just so happens that you are also a Disciple of the Taichu Holy Land. As fellow Sect members, you might be able to form a connection."

A True Disciple of the Taichu Holy Land?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan felt a stir of interest.

If he could truly befriend or even establish a connection with him, it would indeed bring him many benefits.

However, he did not appear overly eager, but rather feigned reserve, saying, "Is this... appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? Mr. Zhang, you'll come with me tonight, and I'll introduce you to Elder Cangming!" the Third Prince declared with a wave of his hand.

"Since that's the case..."

"Then many thanks, Your Highness!" Zhang Fan went along with the flow and accepted.

...

In the evening, as the streetlights began to glow, Zhu Xuan Temple in Tai'an Imperial City was brightly lit, hosting a grand banquet.

Luxurious carriages arrived intermittently, from which emerged Martial Artists either splendidly dressed or possessing an extraordinary Aura.

These were the children of various princes and nobles in the Imperial City, or well-known powerhouses in the Imperial Dynasty. They came here upon hearing that a True Disciple from the Taichu Holy Land was visiting, hoping to make an acquaintance.

Of course, if they could establish a connection with this True Disciple, that would be even better.

A True Disciple of a Holy Land held an exalted status, almost equivalent to the Emperor of the Tai'an Imperial Dynasty.

If he could favor them, it would not only allow them to move freely throughout the Tai'an Imperial Dynasty, but also command the respect of all major forces, who would not dare to slight them.

Under these circumstances, many young noble scions naturally flocked to the event.

At this time, Elder Cangming and Chu Mo, the two main guests, had not yet arrived, so these people gathered together and chatted.

"The Third Prince arrives!" At this moment, a clear announcement rang out.

The Third Prince entered, accompanied by Zhang Fan.

"Your Highness!"

"I never thought Your Highness would come!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Young Disciples and powerhouses from the Imperial City gathered to pay their respects.

The Third Prince smiled and exchanged pleasantries with them.

At the same time, he introduced Zhang Fan to them.

Everyone present was astute.

Hearing the Third Prince's special introduction, they naturally understood that Zhang Fan had a close relationship with him, so they all began to praise him.

Words like "young hero," "boundless future," and "destined for greatness" flowed from their mouths.

When had Zhang Fan ever experienced such a scene? He was immediately so flattered that he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Just then, a loud announcement suddenly echoed through the entire hall: "Elder Cangming arrives!" "True Disciple Chu of Taichu Holy Land arrives!"

In an instant, silence fell.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the main entrance, eagerly awaiting.

And Zhang Fan, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly froze when he heard the announcement.

"True Disciple Chu?" A bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

Chapter 40: Plot Correction? I'll Add More Fuel to the Fire!

In the main hall, three people entered.

First was Elder Cangming, whom everyone was familiar with, dressed in wide robes with flowing sleeves, his appearance majestic, exuding an imposing Aura without needing to be angry.

The man beside him was unfamiliar, but his appearance was exceptionally handsome, with a face like polished jade, dressed in white robes like snow, and an extraordinary demeanor. He had a gentle smile and a composed Aura, like an immortal descended to the Mortal world, not like a Mortal.

Such an Aura, without a doubt, must belong to True Disciple Chu of the Taichu Holy Land!

Behind True Disciple Chu followed a young girl, dressed in a light green long dress, with skin as white as snow, and every movement exuding a captivating beauty that made one's eyes light up.

However,
