139: Chapter 139: Happy Event of Lanyue Sect, the Show Begins
Outside Prison City, Jiang Xuan and the other person appeared in a ray of light.
Xuan Yuan Jin Xue looked up, closed her eyes, and felt the air outside the city. Sunlight shone on her face, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She inhaled deeply through her small nose, a slight smile playing on her lips. “The air outside smells so much better; it’s the scent of freedom.”
Suddenly, a brilliant light emanated from Xuan Yuan Jin Xue’s entire body. Spiritual Qi surged madly into her, as if a certain Restriction had been broken!
Her Aura continuously climbed from Saint, to Great Saint, then to Saint King.
“Boom!”
The Void Realm emitted a resounding roar.
A Quasi-Emperor’s might suddenly descended, and Jiang Xuan’s body instantly retreated!
After a long while, once the pressure dissipated, Jiang Xuan flashed before Xuan Yuan Jin Xue, his eyes filled with astonishment.
“Damn, this is what you call cheating, right? From a Saint to a Quasi-Emperor in an instant!”
Xuan Yuan Jin Xue slowly opened her eyes. A faint Emperor’s might permeated her body, making her entire demeanor appear even more noble.
She glanced at Jiang Xuan’s astonished expression, feeling a slight sense of triumph. Before, she was always the one surprised; this time, it was finally Pretty Boy’s turn to be shocked.
Jiang Xuan recovered and asked, puzzled, “Senior, what is this?”
A captivating smile appeared on Xuan Yuan Jin Xue’s face. “When Hei Ming captured me, I was a Saint King. However, I was restrained by Prison City’s Restriction, so I could only exert the power of a Saint.”
Speaking of this, she looked at Jiang Xuan with gratitude and continued, “Now that I’ve regained my freedom, my Heart-Nature has grown, and with years of accumulation, everything has naturally fallen into place.”
After hearing her words, Jiang Xuan suddenly understood. “So that’s it, I get it.”
Xuan Yuan Jin Xue smiled charmingly and leaned her face close to Jiang Xuan. “Pretty Boy, thanks to you, how should this Emperor thank you?”
A faint fragrance wafted over, and Jiang Xuan felt a tickle in his nose, yet his gaze remained as clear as water.
“It’s all Senior’s extraordinary talent. I merely went with the flow; I don’t deserve your thanks.”
“Besides, Senior is also a person of my Heaven Realm; we’re on the same side.”
Observing Jiang Xuan’s gaze, devoid of any impure thoughts, Xuan Yuan Jin Xue couldn’t help but feel a pang of doubt. “Has this old woman’s charm faded so much?”
She pouted her red lips, her face returning to its lazy expression. “You really are an unromantic Pretty Boy. What do you even think about all day?”
Jiang Xuan grinned, an indomitable Aura emanating from his body, and replied, “The boundless Dao, of course!”
Xuan Yuan Jin Xue’s body trembled. Her beautiful eyes looked at the incomparably handsome young man beside her, and she murmured in her heart, “Boundless Dao, huh? That’s not an easy path to walk…”
She smiled brightly at Jiang Xuan. “This Emperor needs to return to the Divine Province Imperial Family first. I’ll come find you afterward. Don’t forget my Spirit Stones then; this Emperor won’t join the Heaven Realm for free.”
Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, his words exuding dominance. “Alright, in the future, this Realm Master will take you to find all the Spirit Stone veins in the world!”
Xuan Yuan Jin Xue turned, a captivating smile on her face. With a wave of her hand, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the Void Realm.
She looked back at Jiang Xuan, her beautiful eyes shining. Boundless Dao, I am willing to follow.
Only when her figure had completely vanished did Jiang Xuan retract his gaze.
At this moment, Fu You appeared from the Void Realm and respectfully said to Jiang Xuan, “Realm Master.”
Jiang Xuan glanced at him, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes. “Fu You, do you still remember what I said back then?”
Fu You’s body trembled, his expression excited.
“I said that in the future, I would definitely let you personally visit the Lanyue Sect. Now, the time has come.”
Hearing this, Fu You immediately knelt to the ground. He hadn’t expected that Jiang Xuan would still remember this matter.
“This subordinate thanks you, Master, for avenging my clan’s blood feud!”
Fu You’s eyes were filled with determination. He swore that in this life, he would faithfully serve Jiang Xuan until death and protect the Jiang Family!
...A few days later, in Xuan Province, at the Lanyue Sect, red silks fluttered, lanterns hung high, and countless guests were continuously led into the Sect.
Jiang Xuan arrived at the mountain gate, casually glanced around, and said with an unreadable expression, “It seems there’s a joyous occasion.”
He casually looked around and saw a simple and honest young man dressed as a farmer not far away, constantly peeking inside, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment, then walked up and asked, “Brother, what is your surname?”
The honest young man seemed not to have expected anyone to speak to him voluntarily and was startled.
He turned around and saw a young man, like an Immortal, smiling at him, and immediately became nervous. “I… My name is Man Dali.”
“Oh, Dali. I’m Jiang Xuan. What are you looking at at the entrance? Why don’t you go in?”
Hearing this, Man Dali’s honest face flushed. “I came from the village and have been eating wild game from the mountains for several days. I heard there was a banquet here and thought I could eat for free, but they wouldn’t let me in.”
After listening to him, Jiang Xuan glanced at the cleaver tied behind him, noting the faint bloodstains on the blade, and nodded. “Then how about I take you in?”
Man Dali’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
Jiang Xuan smiled. “Of course.”
Man Dali’s face lit up with joy. He hadn’t expected to meet such a good person right after leaving home. This wasn’t like what his village chief grandpa had said, that everyone outside was cunning and that he should be extra careful.
Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves, showing off his muscular physique. “Thank you, Brother Jiang Xuan. I’m very good at fighting. I can kill a cow with one punch. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, I’ll stand up for you!”
Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, thinking to himself, “Heh heh, your strength can do more than just kill a cow.”
As he led Man Dali to the gate, a Lanyue Sect Disciple greeting guests stopped them, pointing at Jiang Xuan with disdain and saying, “To enter, you must present a Saint Medicine as a congratulatory gift.”
Saint Medicine? Good heavens, the minimum congratulatory gift is a Saint Medicine. One would think this was an Imperial Family, with such grand airs.
How could a mere Saint-level force be so arrogant?
Seeing Jiang Xuan’s expression, the Lanyue Sect Disciple at the gate became even more contemptuous, sneering with a sidelong glance, “Where did this bumpkin come from? You’re dressed decently, yet you can’t even produce a Saint Medicine?”
“Do you know whose joyous occasion this is? This is the wedding of my Lanyue Sect Master’s daughter and Senior Ling Ying.”
“Senior Ling Ying is the biological elder brother of Profound Plains Dao Child Ling Yu Fan! To witness such a grand event, a Saint Medicine is already cheap for you!”
So, it’s the Dao Child’s biological brother, no wonder so many people were clamoring to attend despite such outrageous conditions. It turns out they were all coming for that Dao Child.
Jiang Xuan casually glanced at the Disciple, then took out two Saint Medicines from his storage ring and said coldly, “Is this enough?”
“Oh, yes, yes, honored guests, please come in.” The Lanyue Sect Disciple immediately beamed, snatched the Saint Medicines, and invited Jiang Xuan and Man Dali inside.
Man Dali snorted and followed behind Jiang Xuan.
Inside the Sect square, guests were like clouds. Jiang Xuan and Man Dali casually found a seat. Man Dali looked at the exquisite delicacies on the table, his eyes shining with eagerness, constantly swallowing his saliva.
He glanced at Jiang Xuan. “Brother Jiang Xuan, can I eat now?”
Jiang Xuan smiled. “Of course, you can. We’ve given a congratulatory gift, so eat as much as you like.”
“Right, right, then I won’t be polite.”
Man Dali finished speaking and immediately grabbed the food on the table with his bare hands, eating without any regard for his image. He looked as if he wanted to eat back the value of the Saint Medicines Jiang Xuan had given.
For a moment, sounds of disgust arose from the surroundings.
“Where did this kid come from? He has no manners at all, truly shaming us Cultivators.”
Man Dali looked embarrassed and reluctantly put down the food in his hand. Jiang Xuan, however, said, “It’s fine, eat your fill. Why care about others’ opinions?”
Man Dali nodded vigorously. “Brother Jiang Xuan, why do you talk exactly like my village chief grandpa? Looking at you, we’re about the same age, so how do you know so much?”
As the two spoke, a loud shout rang out from the Void Realm, “The wedding begins! Please welcome Sect Master Yue Hua and Valley Master Ling Xiao!”
Below, Jiang Xuan raised his wine cup, a slight smile on his lips. The show was about to begin.
