Chapter 249: Chapter 248: Talk After Waking Up

"..."

Lu Chengde was covered in metaphorical black lines.

The other party was the Sect Master of one of the three great Sacred Lands of Cultivation, essentially one of the three giants within a hundred thousand miles of the Tianqing Mountain Range. They could change the entire landscape with a mere stomp of their foot.

But now, the Sect Master of one of the three great Sacred Lands of Cultivation had come in person seeking an audience with Ye Xuan, yet Ye Xuan had told them to wait because he needed to sleep first.

However, Lu Chengde didn’t dare say anything more; he could only follow Ye Xuan’s orders and set off to leave.

On his way out, he remembered Ye Xuan’s instruction and closed the door behind him.

When he had closed the door, Lu Chengde heard Ye Xuan’s snoring.

That made the corners of Lu Chengde’s mouth twitch involuntarily—it seemed their master really hadn’t woken up yet.

Lu Chengde left with a wry smile shaking his head.

At this very moment, inside the Emperor Great Hall.

Jiang Jing and Qiu Wenhan were both present to welcome the Sect Masters from the three great Sacred Lands of Cultivation.

Despite some stiffness in their relations with the three Sacred Lands of Cultivation due to previous incidents,

the fact that the Sect Masters had come in person, extending an olive branch with such humility, meant that Jiang Jing, as the Sect Mistress, naturally had to be the one to receive them. Otherwise, the Emperor Immortal Sect would be the one at fault.

However, to her surprise, after the Sect Masters had arrived, they had requested not to meet with Zhou Zihuang but with Ye Xuan.

This was actually convenient, as she usually consulted Ye Xuan on major matters anyway.

Besides, Zhou Zihuang was currently in seclusion for Cultivation and had no time to meet with these three Sect Masters.

"Please wait a moment, three honored guests. Ye Xuan will arrive before long," Jiang Jing said with a gentle smile.

"No hurry, no hurry," the Saint Master of the Lingxu Sacred Land, an elegant middle-aged man with a very refined and amiable temperament, said with a wave of his hand.

The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave, sitting to one side, also smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

The Mountain Master of Smoke Mist Mountain was a woman in a Daoist robe. She appeared to be in her early thirties, with delicate skin that seemed almost pinchable.

But that was just appearance—their true age was definitely not young.

With their profound Cultivation and proper care, they naturally looked young and beautiful, exuding a different kind of charm.

"Madam," Lu Chengde entered the Emperor Great Hall.

"Why are you alone?" Jiang Jing was puzzled to see Lu Chengde walking in alone. "Where’s Ye Xuan?"

All eyes turned towards Lu Chengde.

Lu Chengde gave a respectful bow and spoke truthfully, "The son-in-law said he needs to sleep a bit more, and he asked the three distinguished guests to rest in the side hall for a while."

"Pfft————" Qiu Wenhan, who had been drinking tea, suddenly spat out the tea that he hadn’t yet swallowed, coughing violently.

Jiang Jing’s face darkened as she gently touched her forehead, a hint of helplessness and a wry smile appearing in her eyes.

This son-in-law really was...

The Sect Masters of the three great Sacred Lands looked at each other, their eyes flickering, unsure of what Ye Xuan meant by this.

As the masters of their respective Sacred Lands, they had traveled great distances from their sects to the Emperor Immortal Sect, to seek an audience with Ye Xuan, and their sincerity was more than sufficient.

Who else within a hundred thousand miles of the Tianqing Mountain Range could claim such an honor?

Yet Ye Xuan had asked them to rest in the side hall while he continued sleeping because he supposedly hadn’t woken up yet?

Why not just ascend to heaven?!

"Don’t overthink it, honored Sect Masters; the son-in-law is indeed asleep," Lu Chengde added when he noticed the Sect Masters’ changing expressions.

These words caused the three Sect Masters’ eye corners to twitch.

What did this guy mean?

Couldn’t he find a more plausible excuse?

This almost made them angry enough to consider leaving with a sweep of their sleeves.

But just as the thought arose, they recalled the events of the previous day, which immediately cooled their emotions.

The Emperor Immortal Sect was now a formidable force, and definitely not one to provoke at the present time.

Moreover, they already had enmity with the Emperor Immortal Sect; if this matter wasn’t handled well, it might even lead to a great battle.

The events of yesterday were still vividly in their minds, and they certainly did not wish to follow in the footsteps of Thunder Cloud Mountain and Ancient Yun Shang Country.

Under no circumstances could this happen!

With that in mind, they all adjusted their moods.

The Saint Master of Lingxu Sacred Land said with a bow, "It’s no trouble at all. Presumably, young friend Ye is just fatigued from yesterday’s exertions. It’s normal if he didn’t rest well. This seat will go and rest in the side hall. Just inform us once young friend Ye has awoken."

"I’ll also head to the side hall to rest for now," the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave said tersely.

"Jiang Sister, it’s my first visit to Emperor Immortal Sect and you’re not planning to show your sister around?" The Mountain Master of Smoke Mist Mountain turned her attention to Jiang Jing, speaking with a smile.

To those around, she seemed just like a friendly older sister from next door.

However, everyone present was well aware that the Master of Smoke Mist Mountain was an illustrious and formidable figure. Anyone deceived by his appearance was bound to die a miserable death!

"Fine," Jiang Jing said, seeing that the three were not angered. Although she was surprised in her heart, her expression remained composed.

She had thought that the three of them would fly into a rage and then angrily depart.

Unexpectedly, they had endured.

This gave Jiang Jing a somewhat peculiar feeling.

If it had been before, these three entities would probably not have given the Emperor Immortal Sect as much as a glance.

Yet today, after receiving such treatment, they were still able to smile and talk, which was truly hard to believe.

But Jiang Jing also knew very well that all of this was because the Emperor Immortal Sect had displayed too much fear the day before.

Even the three great Cultivation Sacred Lands felt fear.

Otherwise, they definitely would not be acting so humbly as they were now.

This made Jiang Jing feel both moved and emotionally complex.

What moved her was that, in just a few short months, the Emperor Immortal Sect had truly become stronger.

What was emotionally complex was that the Emperor Immortal Sect hadn’t actually become stronger at all...

It was only because of the addition of Ye Xuan.

That was all.

All these changes were because of Ye Xuan.

It was no wonder that the three great Cultivation Sacred Lands’ Sect Masters, upon their arrival, requested to see Ye Xuan first, rather than seeking Zhou Zihuang.

During these reflections, Jiang Jing immediately arranged for the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave and the Saint Master of Lingxu Sacred Land to rest in the side hall, while she herself went out for a stroll with the Master of Smoke Mist Mountain.

After everyone had left.

Qiu Wenhan put down his teacup and looked at Lu Chengde with a peculiar expression, "Did Ye Xuan really say that?"

Lu Chengde replied with a stern face, "Of course, the young master is sleeping soundly right now."

"This guy," Qiu Wenhan couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle, "Only he could behave like this. If anyone else had such an attitude, I fear the Sect Masters of these three great Cultivation Sacred Lands would have already burst into outrage by now."

Lu Chengde did not speak, but he too felt deeply moved.

Indeed, all these changes were because of Ye Xuan.

The strength of Ye Xuan had caused other powers to change their views about the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Especially after the news that Ye Xuan had suppressed the ancestor Liu Zu Yao of the Ancient Yun Shang Country spread yesterday, it shocked everyone within a hundred thousand li of the Tianshan Mountain Range.

Others might doubt the truth of the matter.

But they were very clear, for it was true.

Because the disciples who went to Golden Pond had seen everything with their own eyes.

Through the descriptions of these disciples, they knew.

During the battle with the ancestor Liu Zu Yao of the Ancient Yun Shang Country, Ye Xuan was like a Heavenly God descending to earth, suppressing everything!

Time swiftly passed.

Not until the afternoon did Ye Xuan get out of bed.

Yesterday, although he hadn’t used much Soul Power, the continuous battles were real, and he had also used his Taoist Body to absorb a great deal of Array power, creating no small burden.

Fortunately, his Taoist Body was gradually awakening, and Ye Xuan was continuously becoming stronger.

He believed that in the future, even if Ye Xuan were to use Soul Power or the Power of Heaven and Earth, it would not have any effect on him.

Ye Xuan arrived at the Emperor Great Hall unhurriedly and, seeing no one inside, called for Lu Chengde, "Let those guys come to see me."

The Saint Master of Lingxu Sacred Land and the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave, who were waiting impatiently in the side hall, immediately lit up when they heard Ye Xuan had woken up, and they went to the Emperor Great Hall without delay.

The Master of Smoke Mist Mountain, who had been strolling with Jiang Jing, also returned to the Emperor Great Hall at the first opportunity.

It seemed that meeting Ye Xuan was the most important matter to them.

When they arrived at the hall, they found a black-robed youth sitting in a chair, staring straight ahead as if lost in thought.

"Is that Ye Xuan?"

Upon seeing the black-robed youth, all three were taken aback.

He was much younger than they had imagined.

Was this truly the Ye Xuan from yesterday’s news?

Involuntarily, the three were somewhat skeptical.

"What have you brought?" Ye Xuan regained his senses, glanced at the three people, and asked indifferently.

"Hmm?"

All three were taken aback.

This guy?

"Aren’t you here to make amends to the Emperor Immortal Sect?" Ye Xuan rubbed his nose and spoke softly.
