The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

At this very moment, the atmosphere in Lingxiao Sect's spacious and solemn meeting hall was unusually tense. The elders sat together, each face revealing an expression of undisguised anger. This was especially true of the Great Elder, Duan Hong. His eyes, once profound and intelligent, now burned with rage.

Duan Hong slammed the table, stood up and said loudly: "The Qingmu Sect is simply going too far! Their young sect leader actually openly rejected our marriage proposal. This is outrageous!" The other elders also echoed and expressed their indignation at the matter.

After a brief pause, Duan Hong continued, "However, since the Young Master of the Qingmu Sect has requested a change of marriage partner, then we should comply with his request. I think it would be better to select a few suitable candidates from among our many outstanding disciples as new marriage partners. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the elders nodded in agreement. Thus, a discussion about selecting new disciples for marriage alliances began.

Luo Nanyang sat in the first seat and said with a serious expression, "This marriage is of great importance. We must select a disciple with outstanding qualifications and intelligence."

An elder stroked his beard and said slowly, "In my opinion, we should select them from the inner disciples. Their cultivation and character are relatively mature."

Another elder shook his head and retorted, "The inner disciples are certainly good, but there are also many promising talents in the outer sect who should not be easily ignored."

Everyone expressed their opinions and the debate continued. Some advocated using the level of cultivation as the standard, while others believed that the disciple's family background and personal character should be taken into consideration.

Luo Nanyang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Why not make a list of candidates first and then examine them one by one."

The elders all expressed their agreement and immediately began to discuss the candidates. The entire meeting hall was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere. Everyone was well aware of the importance of this selection to the future of the sect.

Luo Lingshan, standing nearby, felt a mixture of emotions. She recalled her past emotional entanglements and the sect's current mission, and couldn't help but sigh. But she also understood that this was not the time for sentimentality; the sect's interests were paramount.

Meanwhile, at the Prince Regent's Mansion, as the family of four were about to set off for the Purple Cloud Secret Realm, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) asked Xing Xuanli, "What's the climate like in the Purple Cloud Secret Realm? I've never been there."

Xing Xuanli smiled slightly and said patiently, "The climate there is changeable. Sometimes it's warm like spring, and sometimes there's a chilly breeze. But don't worry, we just need to be well prepared."

Yun Mohan nodded slightly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "If you put it that way, it's quite interesting."

Little Mu Han came over, blinked his big eyes and said, "Daddy, I'm not afraid. I will protect everyone!"

Little Kexin also said in a baby voice: "And me, and me!"

The whole family was amused by the two children's words, and the carriage was filled with laughter.

Xing Xuanli gently touched the children's heads, then said to Yun Mohan: "Although the climate is changeable, the scenery there is beautiful. I believe you will like it."

Yun Mohan held Xing Xuanli's hand and looked at her affectionately: "As long as I am with you and the children, I will like any place."

Xing Xuanli said, "When you leave, go to the Wudao Sword Sect to look for Junior Uncle." Yun Mohan frowned and asked, "Why are you looking for Gongye Qingge?"

Xing Xuanli smiled gently and explained, "Let Junior Master-Uncle take care of the Sun and Moon Palace. We are going to the Purple Cloud Secret Realm this time, and we don't know when we will be able to return."

Yun Mohan frowned slightly and said, "Li'er, this does need to be arranged properly, but I can't bear to make you run around like this."

Xing Xuanli held Yun Mohan's hand and said softly, "Mohan, this is as it should be. Sun Moon Palace is also something I care about. With Junior Master-Uncle helping to look after it, I can feel more at ease."

Yun Mohan sighed softly: "Okay, then you must be careful on the road, go and come back quickly."

Xing Xuanli nodded and replied, "Yes, I will."

After saying that, Xing Xuanli turned around and prepared to leave. Yun Mohan looked at her back, his eyes full of reluctance and worry.

In the blink of an eye, Xing Xuanli had arrived at the Wudao Sword Sect, and the disciples of the Wudao Sword Sect blocked her way.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Wudao Sword Sect!" A young disciple shouted loudly, with the long sword in his hand half unsheathed, and his expression was alert.

Xing Xuanli nodded slightly and said politely, "Senior Brother, I am Xing Xuanli, and I have come to see Uncle Gongye Qingge."

The disciple looked her up and down, a puzzled look on his face. "Xing Xuanli? I've never heard of her. Do you have any token or proof?"

Xing Xuanli took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it over: "This is a token given to me by my junior uncle. I hope you can let me know."

Another disciple recognized Xing Xuanli and hurriedly said, "Palace Master Xing, please come in. The Peak Master has been waiting for a long time."

Xing Xuanli frowned slightly and said, "Junior Master, did you know I was coming today?"

The disciple smiled and replied, "Peak Master is incredibly foresighted. He must have anticipated the Palace Master's visit today."

Xing Xuanli's doubts grew even more intense, but she still followed the disciple into the Sword Sect. Along the way, she secretly wondered how Junior Master knew she was coming.

After passing through several corridors, I finally arrived at the courtyard where Junior Master was. Before I even entered, I heard Junior Master's hearty laughter: "Girl, you're finally here!"

Xing Xuanli quickened her pace as she walked into the courtyard, bowing and asking, "Junior Master, how did you know I would come?"

Gongye Qingge smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "Haha, how can I not guess what you are thinking?"

The disciple who had blocked their way earlier scratched the back of his head and asked in confusion, "Who is she?"

Another disciple in green said, "You're new here, so it's normal that you don't know her, but you should have heard of her name, the Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Palace."

The new disciple's eyes widened in surprise. "So it's the Palace Master of Sun Moon Palace. No wonder the Peak Master is waiting in person."

The green-robed disciple nodded: "Of course, the Star Palace Master is a renowned figure in the martial arts world."

The new disciple looked at the direction where Xing Xuanli left with admiration: "I really want to be as powerful as Palace Master Xing one day."

The green-robed disciple patted his shoulder and said, "Practice hard, maybe one day you will achieve something."

The two continued to stand guard, but their hearts were full of admiration and yearning for Xing Xuanli.

The new disciple asked the blue-robed senior brother, "Senior Brother, how come the Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Palace knows our Nether Peak Master?"

The green-clothed disciple smiled and said, "You don't know that this Star Palace Master is also a disciple of our Wudao Sword Sect. He is also the closed disciple of the Wuming Sect Master."

The new disciple said seriously, "I understand. From now on, I must be more respectful when I see Star Palace Master."

The green-clothed disciple nodded with satisfaction: "That's right."

The new disciple asked curiously, "Brother, what is the purpose of the Sun and Moon Palace Master coming here?"

The green-robed disciple gently tapped the new disciple's head and said, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. Just do your own job well."

The new disciple touched the place where he was hit and smiled sheepishly: "I know, Senior Brother, I was just asking out of curiosity."

The green-clothed disciple shook his head helplessly: "You kid, it's not good to be too curious."

The two men said nothing more and continued to stand upright in their places, guarding diligently.
