Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Changsun Jiuye said, "That's why our sect invited Young Master Gu to come out of seclusion. We trust Young Master Gu's strength."

That young man in white robes was none other than the legendary prodigy of the Ancient Origin Master lineage, whose fame had already spread throughout the city.

Ancient Saint Heaven!

At this moment, Gu Shengtian smiled slightly and said, "Finding the Primordial Divine Source for your sect is all we can do, but we also have conditions."

Changsun Jiuye said, "Apart from the Primordial Divine Source, everything that has been cut out should belong to you. We have already agreed to this."

These are the conditions for asking Master Guyuan's lineage to take action!

That alone is already an astronomical price!

Within the Sun and Moon Mine, among all the raw stones, there are countless precious gems, priceless and unimaginable.

The Sun Moon Sect can give these to Gu Shengtian and the others as payment for their services!

"No, there's one more condition,"

Gu Shengtian shook his head.

Changsun Jiuye frowned slightly, feeling a little worried. They had already given away all the profits from the entire mine, and they were still not satisfied. Their conditions... would probably cause the Sun Moon Sect to suffer a huge financial loss!

She said, "Please speak frankly, Young Master Gu."

"I've heard that your church has a tradition of each generation finding an apologist."

Gu Shengtian laughed and said, "I have also heard that the young lady Shangguan, who is in charge of finding the protectors of the faith this generation, is a person of spiritual essence."

"I, Gu, though unworthy, wish to become Daoist partners with Miss Shangguan and serve as protectors of the Sun Moon Sect!"

This is another condition he has!

As he spoke, he looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao sitting opposite him!

Shangguan Xiaoxiao, her protector Shen Xingqing, and Elder Cao Yueshu were all present.

Upon hearing this, Changsun Jiuye felt inexplicably relieved, as she had thought she would have to pay a heavy price.

Now it seems... this request isn't so difficult after all.

She immediately looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, Young Master Gu is handsome and talented, and his Origin Techniques are profound. It would be good for him to protect our sect. What do you think?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao stood up and calmly said, "I refuse."

The moment those two words were uttered, everyone in the room paled.

Gu Shengtian frowned slightly, but did not speak, only waited.

Changsun Jiuye's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know what responsibilities you bear?!"

"Find a protector for our religion to ensure its enduring prosperity! This is the rule set by our founder!"

"Now that the gray fog is approaching, the Primordial Divine Source is crucial to the overall situation. Only Young Master Gu can resolve this crisis. As the 'Embracing the Sun Star Position' chosen by our sect, you refuse?!"

"What right do you have to refuse?!"

She spoke with righteous indignation!

The Sun Moon Sect focuses on practicing moon worship rituals, hence the large number of women within its ranks.

However, the Great Dao requires the balance of Yin and Yang. Therefore, after the founding patriarch established the sect, in addition to the three holy maidens who chased the sun, worshipped the moon, and traveled the world, a "Yang-embracing star position" was set up. The woman who holds this position must find a Daoist partner to protect the Sun and Moon Sect in order to conform to the cause and effect of creation in the bright light.

Faced with the Grand Elder's coercion, Shangguan Xiaoxiao said calmly, "If I remember correctly, the selection of the protector of the sect... is up to the Baoyang Star position to decide."

"I'm sorry, but I don't think Gu Shengtian is suitable."

Then she got up and went outside.

He seemed completely oblivious to the gazes of everyone present!

"you dare!"

The First Elder, Changsun Jiuye, roared in fury, his anger reaching its peak.

"Great Elder, calm down!"

Cao Yueshu hurriedly spoke, transmitting his voice: "Elder, last time in the Sinful State, I observed that Xiaoxiao and the peerless genius Tu Tianlong had already developed feelings for each other. This matter concerns the protection of the sect's members, so in my opinion, we should consider it carefully..."

But at this moment, Changsun Jiuye, enraged, shouted without regard for anything else: "What Tu Tianlong! The gray fog is coming. Even Dugu Jiansheng cannot resist it. No matter how talented Tu Tianlong is, can he protect the eternal heritage of my Sun Moon Sect? The key right now is the Primordial Divine Source!"

"Shangguan Xiaoxiao, I'll give you a day to think it over. Whether you agree or not... you have to agree."

"This is about the bigger picture!"

She spoke forcefully.

Cao Yueshu's face was grim.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao, who had already left the palace, calmly replied, "That's your overall plan, not mine."
