Chapter 444: Visit
The people from the three great sects all appeared in the Ninth Lord’s Estate at the same time. Furthermore, they got someone to report according to etiquette. They did not put on airs by barging in directly, waiting patiently for a response instead.
With the status of the three great sects, being able to do this showed that they had given the Nine Lord’s Estate enough face.
They had no choice. They had to do it even if they did not want to. After all, this was what their higher-ups had instructed them. If they went against the instructions, the outcome would be serious. Besides, Young Master Wuchen was involved in this affair.
Among the people from the three great sects, Mu Changfeng was also among them. His emotions were a little complicated. He was depressed because he knew that the person who had fought with him on the streets that day was the Ninth Consort of the Ninth Lord’s Estate, Heavenly Saints City’s rising star.
If it was just the identity of the Ninth Imperial Consort, it would not have been a big deal. Their three great sects would not have taken her seriously, but then Young Master Wuchen appeared and made his attitude clear. For just the small matter of Xue Fanxin getting locked up by the Heavenly Saints Emperor, they mobilized so many people and did not hesitate to stop recruiting disciples in the empire. He even wanted them to visit the Ninth Imperial Consort today…
They really did not understand why Young Master Wuchen valued this Ninth Imperial Consort so much. Could it be that they had an unspeakable relationship?
No matter what the reason was, this was something Young Master Wuchen had instructed them to do. They had to do it.
Ignoring their purpose, Xue Fanxin felt that it was necessary to entertain them warmly. Hence, she got someone to bring them into the residence and serve them the best tea and say some polite words.
“It is my honor to have esteemed guests from the three great sects visit. I hope you don’t mind the ordinary tea and water.”
“No, no.” A middle-aged man took a sip of tea and smiled politely, but he did not know what to say to Xue Fanxin.
Mu Changfeng did not say a word and just sat there quietly.
The others were relatively more casual. They treated it as being a guest at another house and were not too reserved. Anyway, their mission today was to help Xue Fanxin strengthen her stance and give her more confidence in dealing with the Heavenly Saints Emperor.
The Heavenly Saints Emperor was also in the hall, sitting with the people from the three great sects, but he felt very pressured, especially the few elders with higher cultivation levels. The arrogance they emitted gave him a powerful sense of oppression.
......
These few elders should have a high status in those otherworldly sects. They were far above him, the ruler of a small country in the secular world.
Sigh… He was really aggrieved as an emperor, but he had no choice. After all, the world was like this. If he was in the mortal world, he would definitely be the supreme ruler. However, in the outside world, he was probably even inferior to an ordinary person.
The outside world, which was the cultivation world, respected martial arts. Strength was everything.
“Cough, cough… Ninth Imperial Consort, let me introduce myself first. I am Elder Mo’er of the Flying Dragon Sect. This is Elder Qing Yun of the Heavenly Spirit Sect and Master Hu of the Flowing Cloud Sect. We are in charge of the recruitment of new disciples in the Heavenly Saints Empire. We came to visit the Ninth Imperial Consort today firstly to get to know you, and secondly, we were entrusted by someone to increase your bargaining chips.”
Elder Mo’er deliberately released a little pressure on the Heavenly Saints Emperor. His meaning was already clear.
The Heavenly Saints Emperor could not resist Elder Mo’er’s pressure at all. He felt suffocated and extremely uncomfortable.
He had never expected the three great sects to do this for the Ninth Imperial Consort. If he had known, he would not have listened to Su Baifeng’s nonsense.
Now that Su Baifeng had escaped without a trace, and even Su Ze was nowhere to be found, he was really depressed and had no one to complain to.
