I exchanged sects with the real daughter, and I ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices to her

Afterwards, Yu Jun, Patriarch Lingguang and several elders of Lingyin Sect went to the main hall, while Yu Qingning took Li Shu and other senior brothers to Qingying Peak to arrange accommodation for the group.

Fortunately, when she built Qingying Peak, in addition to building a side hall, she also built a large guest house.

In the yard was a two-story attic facing north and south, and two rows of side rooms facing east and west. Otherwise, she was really afraid that there wouldn't be enough space for more than 20 people.

At dusk, there was still about half an hour before the Youmeng Huachao Banquet was to begin.

The monks from all walks of life who came to Penglai have now begun to gather towards Sijin Garden.

After having the carefully prepared afternoon tea, Yu Qingning and his party also went to Sijin Garden.

When they were at Qingying Peak, Li Shu specially dressed up Yu Qingning and changed her clothes into those specially prepared by Li Shu.

She wore a smoky purple long dress with delicate golden lotus embroidered on the hem, which swayed gently with her steps, making her look particularly elegant.

In addition, Li Shu also tied up Yu Qingning's long hair and selected a pair of crystal clear purple jade hairpins to insert into Yu Qingning's bun. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that his daughter was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Yu Qingning's attention was not on himself. On the way, thinking about the big event that was going to happen tonight, he said to Li Shu and the others in advance:

"Mother, Senior Brother, when the Flower Festival begins, I may not be able to take care of you. No matter what happens then, you don't have to worry about me. Just be careful."

Li Shu had already heard about the Demon King from Yu Jun. He nodded and smiled softly, saying, "Ning'er, don't worry. Mother and your brothers will take good care of themselves. But you, on the other hand, need to be more careful. After all, tonight's banquet is of great importance."

Yu Xiao and the others also echoed: "Junior Sister, don't worry about us. You must be careful."

Yu Qingning nodded. If she didn't want to monitor the crazy woman and the fox, she would definitely accompany her mother and fellow practitioners.

As night fell, when the group arrived at Sijin Garden, the gate was already wide open.

Since the identities of all cultivators had been verified before entering the sect, there was no need to check their identities again when entering Sijin Garden.

Only Penglai disciples can enter Sijin Garden, because not all disciples can enter, so there is a special person responsible for verifying the banquet qualifications of Penglai disciples.

Yu Qingning and his party entered Sijin Garden. The garden was brightly lit, and the colorful lights intertwined with the night, making the entire garden look like a fairyland.

The garden is well-arranged with pavilions and towers, with small bridges and flowing water, and lush flowers and trees, showing the exquisiteness and elegance of Jiangnan gardens.

The monks who entered the garden gathered in groups of three or five, talked in low voices, or took photos with the spiritual jade slips, and posted them on the hot topics of the immortal sect, which attracted a lot of envy.

There were also many cultivators who were not qualified to attend the Flower Festival Banquet, so they frantically posted messages on the jade slips, asking kind-hearted people to record the process of the Youmeng Flower blooming in the spiritual jade slips, just to see the true appearance of this ancient strange flower.

The arrival of Yu Qingning and his group quickly attracted the attention of people around them.

Especially since Yu Qingning was wearing a little makeup today and her temperament was beautiful and elegant, she stood out in the crowd.

Many cultivators wanted to make the acquaintance of Yu Qingning, and they all took this opportunity to approach her and greet her, with endless compliments.

Yu Qingning responded to each of them one by one, his manners were graceful and elegant, showing the demeanor of a great man.

In the crowd, Yu Qingning suddenly saw several familiar figures.

They were Xie Murou and Jun Zijian, as well as several disciples from the Wuliang Sect and several members of the Xie family.

The aristocratic families were also invited to this Flower Festival Banquet. The reason why Yu Qingning recognized that several of them were members of the Xie family was because they had the Xie family emblem on their clothes, which made them easy to recognize.

When the system saw the Xie family, it suddenly thought of something: [Ningning! Do you think that bastard Xie Jibai might have gotten in? No, I'll check it out!]

Although the system is broken and many functions are disabled and unusable, because it is a strategy system, the function of locking on Xie Jibai can always be used.

Even if Xie Jibai's disguised appearance cannot be detected, the system can still lock him down.

Yu Qingning frowned. That day, Xie Jibai was being hunted in the southern city of Zhongzhou, and he was indeed heading towards the Xie family.

After returning, she paid attention to the news in the Xuan Yulu, but there was no news about Xie Jibai's whereabouts.

Those who were tracking him did not post any news in the jade slip, as if the news was deliberately blocked.

Therefore, she guessed that if Xie Jibai changed his appearance and came to Penglai with Xie Muruo, then Xie Jibai must have reached some kind of consensus with the Xie family, or even that he and Xie Muruo had already made their plans clear to each other.

No matter whether Xie Murou was doing this for the Xie family or the Wuliang Sect, she, like Xie Jibai, was eager to see Penglai destroyed.

Yu Qingning was pondering this inwardly when the system angrily declared, "I was right! This damned bastard really did transform himself and come to Penglai! He's the Xie family disciple on the far right! He's such a sticky plaster, I can't shake him off!"

Yu Qingning frowned. She didn’t think Xie Jibai came for her, but for the Youmeng Flower.

Xie Jibai was seriously injured that night and his strength was greatly reduced, so he was chased by a group of cultivators.

If he could obtain the Youmeng Flower, not only would he be able to restore his strength, but he would also be able to break through from the Dongxu Realm to the Jiejie Realm. If he could comprehend the secrets from it and get the opportunity, he could even break through to the Mahayana Realm in one fell swoop.

After all, the Youmeng Flower is an ancient rare flower. Even the Demon King wants to obtain it to enhance his strength, let alone Xie Jibai.

Dog men are selfish and always put themselves first. They must have come to Penglai for the Youmeng Flower.

So tonight, they not only have to deal with the Demon King, but also prevent Xie Jibai from stealing the Youmeng Flower.

Yu Qingning immediately sent a message to Shen Xuanli and Pei Yin, saying that she had to inform them of this matter to avoid any mistakes.

"Mom, senior brother, I'll go over there and take a look." Yu Qingning felt that the Demon King and the Crazy Woman were about to appear, so he separated from Li Shu and his group.

As the night deepened, the atmosphere in Sijin Garden became more and more lively.

As the hour of Xu approached, all the monks participating in the Flower Festival Banquet gathered in the center of Sijin Garden.

Yu Qingning first found Jiang Wan and others, and then finally saw Ye Hanyue and the Demon King in the crowd.

One of them pretended to be Yun Mengyao, and the other transformed into Ji Lin. It's not hard to arouse suspicion when the two of them walked together like this.

At this time, Pei Yin and a group of elders from Penglai came calmly.

Pei Yin seemed to have dressed up specially today. He was wearing a gorgeous blue Taoist robe, with a faint aura surrounding him. His demeanor revealed a calm and unhurried demeanor that made people look at him involuntarily.

The clothes of the Penglai elders appeared more solemn. Whether it was Tianjizi, the first elder, the second elder, or Xuanyangzi, they all wore the same white Taoist robe.

The robes were embroidered with golden runes, which were low-key yet luxurious, and made the old men look particularly mysterious.
