Compared to before, even more immense fortune and providence descended.
A moment later.
The heavenly phenomenon disappeared, and the Daoist Immortal Officer’s promotion was complete.
The court meeting was over.
In the passage leading away from the Lingxiao Bao Hall.
All the immortals who had a good relationship with Xuanqing or had attended his Ascension Banquet before, congratulated him with their fists held in front of them.
“Congratulations, Immortal Minister Xuanqing, your promotion to the standard third rank is truly unexpected and admirable.”
“Haha, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Daoist Friend Xuanqing for his successive promotions.”
“Immortal Xuanqing, when will you hold the Ascension Banquet?”
On one side, Star Lord Taibai also joined in cheerfully, saying, “Daoist Friend Xuanqing, if you want to hold the Ascension Banquet, you must be sure to have it in my Star Lord Mansion.”
Hearing this,
Xuanqing laughed and waved his hand.
“Fellow Daoist friends, I am a Daoist Immortal Official. Although my rank has been promoted quickly, I have no real power, and I cannot compare with you!”
“As for the… Ascension Banquet matter… Actually, I have some business in the Lower Realm that I need to attend to, so I am not planning to hold it since one day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth!”
With that,
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Indeed.
Daoist Immortal Officials, being officials of the human world, were more occupied with worldly affairs than the immortals in the Heavenly Court who had nothing to do.
As such,
After exchanging some pleasantries with the various gods, Xuanqing and the others dispersed separately.
It is worth mentioning that,
Xuanqing didn’t leave the Heavenly Court immediately. Instead, he went to Douluo Palace to visit his two senior brothers, Jin Ling and Yin Ling, and also paid his respects to Ancestor Master with a pile of Ginseng Fruits.
There’s a saying… offer incense diligently in ordinary days, and the gods will be more willing to help when you are in need. This is exactly what it means, not having regular contact and seeking help only when in need, can make things difficult-
Black Wind Nation’s Imperial City.
In the Imperial Study Room.
In front of a writing desk,
Gentleman Bai She held a document in his hand, furrowing his brows slightly.
The reason for his embarrassment was that serious economic corruption cases had arisen in Westside Hami and Wusi.
Now,
It had been two and a half years since the two places had become part of Black Wind Country. As they experienced rapid economic development, many undesirable phenomena began to emerge.
This economic corruption case was just one of many such phenomena.
At this moment,
“Qingxu, come quickly to Black Wind Mountain!”
A voice filled with divine power echoed in his ear.
My master?
As if understanding something,
Gentleman Bai She’s spirit lifted and he hastily put down the document in his hand.
With a gesture,
Whoosh-
Lucky clouds floated under Gentleman Bai She’s feet, transforming into a stream of light, rushing towards Black Wind Mountain at high speed.
In the Taoist temple on Black Wind Mountain,
“I pay my respects to Master!”
With his head bowed, Gentleman Bai She felt his heart beating uncontrollably and did not even dare to look at his master from the corner of his eye.
For some reason,
He now felt an overwhelming sense of the world’s rules and regulations when facing his master, a feeling of deep terror.
Seeing this,
Xuanqing only then remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to restrain the divine power on his body.
His divine power had become customary for the fourth-rank and higher immortal officials of the Heavenly Court, but to Gentleman Bai She, it was just like a mortal encountering a god, very oppressive, which was why such a situation had occurred.
“I called you here to fulfill the promise I made to you!” Xuanqing said indifferently.
At his words,
“Whoosh-”
Gentleman Bai She gasped and immediately knelt on the ground, respectfully replying, “I will follow Master’s arrangement!”
“Hmm!”
Xuanqing nodded slightly and then commanded, “To undergo this metamorphosis into a Destiny Golden Dragon body, you will need a long period of continuous cultivation. Do you have someone who can take care of Black Wind Nation affairs during that time?”
“Reporting to Master, I have already discussed this with Junior Sister Qingwan, and she will take over the affairs of Black Wind Nation!” Gentleman Bai She said.
Qingwan?
Xuanqing was somewhat surprised.
He thought back to the chubby, curious, and foolish girl from long ago, who had become adept at handling political affairs.
To be honest,
Ever since Qingwan had grown up, perhaps due to adolescent girls having more thoughts and concerns, she had become more and more distant from him.
With these thoughts in mind, Xuanqing’s memories of when he first arrived in this world and had just taken in the foolish girl resurfaced.
The emaciated figure in the slums appeared as if only a short while ago, still vivid in his memory.
Later on,
There were memories of his cave mansion at the junction of Black Wind Mountain and Azure Dragon Mountain.
The most memorable impression was when he had exited the game, bringing toys for the silly girl.
“Master, did you finish your retreat? Fat Ya missed you so much.”
Seeing her master emerge from the cave mansion, Fat Ya rushed into his arms with her chubby little legs, acting coquettishly.
He then took out a pile of toys from his bosom, including building blocks and books and such.
“Master, why does this pig demon like stomping water?”
“Um… Perhaps it’s because his Cultivation Techniques are of water attribute, so he is naturally fond of water.”
At this moment,
Seeing immersed in memories, the expressionless Xuanqing,
Gentleman Bai She thought his master was suspicious, and hurriedly explained,
“Master!”
“Junior Sister Qingwan is quite talented in handling political affairs. In fact, many of the development strategies you bestowed upon us were implemented by her.”
Xuanqing’s thoughts were pulled back from his memories by the sound of Gentleman Bai She’s voice in his ear,
“I never thought the silly little girl from back then had such talent!”
Xuanqing murmured in amazement.
“Hehe, yes- After cultivating the Destiny Golden Dragon body, I plan to assist Junior Sister Qingwan for some time and then pass on the ruler’s position of Black Wind Nation to her!”
