With Caiyun True Immortal’s personal decree and Xiao Xiyue, a True Inheritor of Qingyun Sect, accompanying him, Lu Changsheng’s Visiting Noble Servant registration was completed smoothly.
"Lu Mountain Lord, now that you have beco a Visiting Noble Servant of Qingyun Sect, your sect tributes can be halved from now on."
The registrar elder, having completed the procedure for Lu Changsheng, said courteously.
Currently, with the dual Core Formation cultivators of Caiyun Peak, its status is extraordinary.
Lu Changsheng’s ability to secure Caiyun True Immortal’s decree and beco a Visiting Noble Servant earned him notable favor.
Moreover, for soone of Lu Changsheng’s age to have advanced to the level of a Third-Rank Talisman Master demonstrated extraordinary talent in the Talisman Path, worthy of forging connections.
"Thank you, Elder Lin."
Lu Changsheng replied courteously.
Currently, with control over spiritual lands such as Bi Lake Mountain, White Tiger Mountain, and Flower Fruit Mountain, the annual Spirit Stone tribute totals thirty-five thousand pieces.
This is no small amount—halving it is quite a favorable outco.
However, aside from this benefit, other welfare is rather ordinary.
Beyond the ability to exchange Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and cultivation techniques through Qingyun Sect, there isn’t much else.
"Having this Visiting Noble Servant token certainly makes visits to Qingyun Sect much more convenient in the future."
Lu Changsheng toyed with the Qingyun Sect identity token in his hand and chuckled softly.
Even though he had connections with Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing, f
every ti he visited Qingyun Sect, he still had to send a ssage and wait for the two won to et him.
Alternatively, he would rely on his status as Bi Lake Mountain Lord and wait in the reception hall—it was not possible to enter Qingyun Sect freely.
Now, with this Visiting Noble Servant identity token, travel to places like Caiyun Peak and Lingyao Peak would be much easier.
After dealing with so simple matters, Lu Changsheng returned to Caiyun Peak with Xiao Xiyue to assist her in her cultivation.
...
Red Sun Peak.
After reprimanding Sima Qiuhua and Song Cheng, Song Qingzhi realized that Lu Changsheng might have long established a connection with Yun Wanshang.
This realization caused an inexplicable surge of anger in her heart.
Yet, at that mont, she beca aware of a puzzling issue.
How did Lu Changsheng manage to connect with Yun Wanshang?
She knew Yun Wanshang perfectly well.
Normally, Yun Wanshang was arrogant, proud, and never spared a glance for any man.
Why would she associate with soone like Lu Changsheng, a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator?
While considering the idea that Yun Wanshang was deliberately provoking her, Song Qingzhi dismissed it as unlikely.
Although she disliked Yun Wanshang and harbored deep resentnt and envy toward her—not least because she believed Yun Wanshang had stolen her Core Formation fortune—
she had to admit that Yun Wanshang had never considered her worthy of attention.
Most of the ti, her bitterness was one-sided.
Precisely because of this, her feelings toward Yun Wanshang were mixed with jealousy and even self-doubt...
"There’s sothing suspicious, definitely sothing odd!"
Song Qingzhi’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she pondered silently, convinced that there was an undisclosed secret between the two.
Otherwise, Yun Wanshang would never associate with soone like Lu Changsheng, given today’s situation.
"Could it be that Yun Wanshang has taken a liking to Lu Changsheng?"
A thought crossed Song Qingzhi’s mind.
However, she quickly shook her head to dismiss it.
Indeed, Lu Changsheng possessed extraordinary charm and bearing that even stirred her long-lost feelings.
But Yun Wanshang, of all people,
would never fall for re external appearance or surface reasons to be attracted to a man.
If he had extraordinary talent and was a peerless prodigy with innate gifts and strength superior to Yun Wanshang’s, then perhaps it could be possible.
But a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator? Absolutely impossible!
"In any case, there is definitely a secret between the two of them!"
Song Qingzhi, her ravishing face displaying resolve, had a determined look in her eyes.
This wasn’t only her understanding of Yun Wanshang but also the intuition unique to a woman!
At this mont, Song Qingzhi found herself brimming with intense curiosity.
She wanted to unearth the exact nature of their relationship, to uncover whether Yun Wanshang was harboring a hidden secret.
Just then, a sonorous and powerful voice sounded from outside.
"Qingzhi, Junior Sister Caiyun spoke with earlier. She said that Lu Changsheng of Bi Lake Mountain has an old connection with Xiao Xiyue, having saved her life in the past. So regarding the matter with Bi Lake Mountain and Profound Martial Ridge, we should leave it to her to handle..."
Chi Yang True Immortal stepped into the grand hall and addressed Song Qingzhi.
"Saved Xiao Xiyue’s life?"
Song Qingzhi froze montarily at the words.
She had speculated along these lines earlier, but sothing about it still felt overly simplistic.
"Qingzhi, since Junior Sister Caiyun has spoken up, let’s leave this matter as it stands."
Chi Yang True Immortal, worried that his Dao Companion might not have taken his words seriously, added, "Besides, Junior Sister Caiyun is quite asured in her actions—she wouldn’t show excessive favoritism."
"Alright, I understand."
Despite her acquiescence, Song Qingzhi felt an inexplicable irritation surging within.
Although he was a Core Formation True Immortal and a top-tier Artifact Refiner with high status in Qingyun Sect, Chi Yang True Immortal was habitually imrsed in Artifact Refining and paid little attention to sect affairs.
Even when Yun Wanshang intervened, Chi Yang True Immortal’s station and reputation would have allowed him to ignore her presence.
Yet, he had never contested her actions.
Take, for instance, the past conflict regarding the Coagulation Crystal Elixir. If Chi Yang True Immortal had chosen to abandon everything and fight fiercely for her sake, Song Qingzhi might have stood a chance against Yun Wanshang.
"Well, Qingzhi, if you feel that this matter has let Qiuhua down, you could compensate her later."
Chi Yang True Immortal, understanding that his Dao Companion highly valued reputation, suggested compensating their disciple Sima Qiuhua for the uncompleted task.
"I know;
I won’t dwell on this matter."
Song Qingzhi knew precisely what her Dao Companion’s words implied.
He was worried she’d start scheming against Yun Wanshang or digging up dirt on Bi Lake Mountain.
"By the way, Sect Leader Senior Brother just deliberated with us and decided the ti for opening Tianyuan Secret Realm."
"You could send Cheng’er and Qiuhua to explore it. If you need nomination slots, just provide with a list later."
