796 Eyes Adorned With Flowers, Heart Set on the Stars (1)

Third Senior Brother quickly took a few steps forward and surpassed the crowd. Under the strange expressions of the cultivators in the county capital, he leaped onto the great wing and knelt in front of Old Master Seventh.

“Master, back then, you said that it would be difficult for me to cross the love barrier, so you made disciple wear ‘?[1]’ hat. Today, the disciple’s heart has passed the love barrier, and I earnestly request to return.”

Third Senior Brother’s voice carried a touch of melancholy and a hint of softness. After speaking, he smiled at Xu Qing, but in this state, his smile was rather unattractive and lacked the elegance he had in the past.

At the same time, the female disciples of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect who were carrying the children also instinctively followed. However, they were stopped in front of the great wing by the gazes of the Sword Holders.

“There are only eight of them. It’s not enough. You can return to the sect after you reach 99.”

Old Master Seventh calmly spoke. With a flick of his sleeve, Third Senior Brother’s figure rolled back and was chased out of the great wing.

In the air, Third Senior Brother sighed and knelt down in front of the great wing in front of everyone.

Under the control of Old Master Seventh, the great wing flew forward.

As for the Great Elder of the Sword Holding Court, as well as the ancestors of the Litu Sect and the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, they were invited up.

On the balcony of the main building, they reported the situation of their sects to Old Master Seventh, while the Great Elder of the Sword Holding Court also presented a report on the restoration of the Yinghuang Province in the past half a month.

During their discussion, Xu Qing kept standing at the side. He looked at his third senior brother, who was getting further and further away from the great wing, many times.

Third Senior Brother continued to kneel there. The Dao companions behind him also knelt down.

As for the two ancestors from the two sects who reported to Old Master Seventh, they were also secretly observing Xu Qing. They were very clear about Xu Qing’s identity in Fenghai County.

“Deputy Governor, 70% of the repair and rebuilding of the Yinghuang Region has been completed. It’s estimated that everything will be completed in half a month or so. Also, the half of the god specimen you ordered earlier has also been prepared.”

After the Great Elder finished speaking, he bowed respectfully. After that, he looked at Xu Qing and smiled.

Xu Qing’s expression was respectful. He had always respected this Great Elder.

Old Master Seventh gave a few more instructions before the Great Elder and the Litu Sect’s ancestor left respectfully.

Only the ancestor of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, who was also Daoist Sima’s junior brother, stood there hesitantly. He instinctively turned his head and looked at his senior brother outside the building.

Daoist Sima was expressionless.

The ancestor of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect smiled bitterly and cupped his fists at Old Master Seventh.

“Deputy Governor, the third highness…”

“That is a matter for your Grand Affairs Immortal Sect. I asked to give him back from your sect, but didn’t you tell me at that time that he had committed a major mistake and it warrants punishment?”

Old Master Seventh calmly spoke.

“Although I’m the Deputy Governor, I can’t play favorites and bully others with my power. Since Third is in the wrong, eight Dao companions aren’t enough punishment. 99 should be a good lesson for him.”

When the ancestor of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect heard this, he felt bitter in his heart. He knew that his actions back then had caused the other party to be dissatisfied. Today, he had no choice but to let the third highness come. After all, his master had become the Deputy Governor. If the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect was still stubborn, there would definitely be a calamity.

Hence, he had no choice but to feed the other party a lot of tonics in advance. However, it was still difficult to hide the fact that he had been hollowed out.

He could only bite the bullet and speak.

“Deputy Governor, our Grand Affairs Immortal Sect doesn’t have that many holy maidens…”

“That’s your business. Remember, the punishment for Third must be the identity and bloodline of the holy maidens. You may leave.”

Old Master Seventh was expressionless.

The ancestor of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect wanted to say something else, but when he saw the cold glint in Old Master Seventh’s eyes, he sighed inwardly. He couldn’t help but feel a little emotional and disbelief.

He really didn’t expect that the sect master of a small sect whom he originally didn’t care about would become the deputy governor overnight. Moreover, his cultivation level was hidden so deeply.

He understood that this matter had to be resolved. Otherwise, the future of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect in Fenghai County would be extremely challenging.

The ancestor of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect was anxious but he could only leave. When he walked to his senior brother, Daoist Sima, outside the building, he tried to say something.

“Don’t covet other people’s things. Go and repay what you should repay.”

Daoist Sima calmly spoke.

The ancestor of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect fell silent for a few breaths, appearing somewhat aged and desolate, before leaving the great wing.

In the building, as the great wing flew toward the Eight Sects Alliance, Old Master Seventh stood there without saying a word.

After about fifteen minutes, Xu Qing hesitated and spoke softly.

“Master, about Third Senior Brother…”

“Ignore him!” Old Master Seventh snorted coldly.

“Third’s thoughts have always been profound, driven by self-interest, and he excels at concealing his emotions. He’s patient and temperamental.”

“Why do you think he provoked the holy maiden of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect and why did he stage the runaway marriage? Does he not know that once the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect finds out about his identity, they will definitely capture him?”

“His goal is to make the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect take the initiative to capture him and bring him back in the way he wants.”

Old Master Seventh spoke meaningfully, not only to Xu Qing but also to Daoist Sima outside the pavilion.

Daoist Sima fell silent.

Xu Qing fell silent. His master’s words revealed a key piece of information, and that was… Third Senior Brother’s identity.

Seeing Xu Qing’s doubts, Old Master Seventh calmly spoke.

“There was originally nothing special about the Yinghuang Province. It was only when the Ghost Emperor passed away 10,000 years ago and his body nourished the entire province that the Yinghuang Province became different.”

“Among them, the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect has the most orthodoxies and is good at domains. That’s why it leaped from an inconspicuous small sect back then to the number one sect in the Yinghuang Province now.”
