Chapter 484: The Goddess of Jianjia
Chapter 484: The Goddess of Jianjia
Xue Yi’s primary purpose of returning this time is to find Jiuqu Ku and Shizhang Sheng, so she needs to gather everyone together to find a solution.
But before that, she also needed to know who this goddess Jianjia was who suddenly appeared to stand up for her.
As night falls, silver light shines everywhere. The Yangyue Palace deep in the Yangyue Valley looks even more majestic and magnificent under the caress of the moonlight. The palace is carved from thousand-year-old black ice and is crystal clear. The roof of the palace is inlaid with countless tiny luminous pearls, which complement the moonlight, emitting a soft and mysterious light, and shrouding the entire palace in a faint fairy air.
As you enter the hall, there is a huge white jade table in the center, on which are placed all kinds of rare and exotic fruits and fairy wines, with a lingering fragrance that makes people salivate. The surrounding pillars are all carved from purple jade, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them, which are lifelike and seem to be about to break out of the pillars.
The gathered people were sitting around the white jade table, Xue Yi was sitting in the main seat, and both sides were filled with people.
Xueyi opened her red lips slightly, her laughter was as clear as a silver bell. She was the first to raise her glass, the wine shimmering in the moonlight: "Everyone, Xueyi has returned, and I am lucky that you have not abandoned me. This scene is a rare gathering in life. We haven't seen each other for many years, but you are still as charming as ever. This glass is to toast our unchanging friendship."
"I was rude for not bringing gifts to everyone. Let me drink first as a token of my respect."
After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp, showing her generosity.
Ji Wuchen and Xie Lanyue looked at each other, then raised their glasses at the same time, their smiles filled with a bit of pampering and relief.
"Axue, your return is the best gift for us." Ji Wuchen raised the wine glass and spoke politely.
Xie Lanyue added: "Yes, no matter how long we have been apart, we have always been waiting here. Your coming back is the best gift."
Xue Yi nodded, smiling: "It is my blessing to have you."
"It's just that I have something I have to do when I come back this time. I need your help. I'm sorry to cause you all trouble."
Luo Jing stood up without hesitation: "Sister, don't say that, we are all family, there is no trouble, whoever you want to kill, I will help you!"
Bai Ye chuckled, put down his wine glass, and gave Luo Jing a head slap: "You guy, it's been so many years and you still can't learn to be calm. You are so impetuous, thinking about fighting and killing all day long."
Xie Lanyue snorted coldly, "You've lived for thousands of years, but you still act like a young boy."
Luo Jing touched his head and sat down dissatisfied, thinking that he had suffered a loss in silence.
He didn't want to lose his temper in front of his sister. She had just returned and he couldn't leave a bad impression on her.
Haha, after the banquet is over, he will have a good fight with that show-off!
Xue Yi listened and couldn't help but curl her eyes, "Okay, why are you all just like kids?"
"Let's talk about this later. I have something else to ask you right now." As she spoke, Xue Yi's gaze fell on Jianjia's face.
She hesitated for a while, then asked softly, "Goddess Jianjia, I have been away from Fuguang for a long time, so I don't know anything about you, and I think I have nothing to do with you. If that's the case, why are you supporting me today?"
Jianjia stood up, her face flushed, staring at Xueyi without blinking, admiring her: "Sister Xueyi, to be honest, I am already 5,231 years old this year. When I was 25, you did save my life, but it has been so long, it is normal for me to have forgotten."
"That year, I didn't want to be disciplined by my father, so I sneaked out of Penglai Island. I wanted to be free and unrestrained, but on the ninth day after leaving the valley, I encountered a big monster. When my life was hanging by a thread, it was my sister's Lingxiao Sword that killed the monster. That's why I am Jianjia today."
"Jianjia knows that maybe my sister just saw injustice and did it casually. But...Jianjia has always remembered it and never dared to forget my sister's life-saving grace. At first, I didn't know that you were the saint who became famous all over the world recently. It was not until I saw you behind the Lord God today that I recognized my sister."
"Sister, you have snow-white hair and red eyes, and you are the only one like her in the world. Jianjia will never forget them, so... I took the initiative. Seeing that His Majesty the God Emperor and others were trying to establish the authority for sister, I also wanted to support her. Please forgive my abruptness." Jianjia bowed from a distance and performed the standard Penglai Island etiquette to Xue Yi.
Xue Yi raised her hand and helped the person up through the air with divine power. "It's nothing abrupt, sister, you don't have to be polite. Guests are welcome, and I would like to thank you for your kindness today."
"Sister, you don't have to thank me. Although you and I are a little unfamiliar with each other, please believe me, Jianjia. I treat you sincerely and am willing to be your trump card." Jianjia's eyes were soft and the corners of her lips rose unconsciously. She was very happy.
Xueyi nodded and motioned for her to sit down.
But Jianjia had no intention of sitting down. She leaned forward slightly to make a salute and said softly, "Sister, I am sorry to bother you tonight. You and the seniors must have important matters to discuss, so I will not stay any longer. Please allow me to leave first."
Xue Yi heard this, and the corners of her mouth curved up gently, and she nodded gently, "Goddess Jianjia, you are too kind. I understand your intentions. It's getting late, Goddess, please go to bed early."
After Jianjia left, the atmosphere in the hall became noticeably more relaxed.
Xue Yi laughed. It seemed that everyone was worried about outsiders.
The candlelight in the hall flickered, reflecting her snowy hair like a waterfall and her red eyes like flames. She opened her red lips slightly and said in a gentle and powerful voice: "This goddess, what do you think?"
Luo Jing shook his head. "I'm not familiar with her. Goddess Jianjia was conferred a title in the Divine Palace. You have to ask Bai Ye."
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Bai Ye. He looked at Xue Yi and said in a deep voice, "Her title was obtained by the Penglai Island Lord who used thousands of divine artifacts to ask me for it. It was a unique honor for his daughter."
"As for Jianjia, she is not a bad person by nature. Although I have never been close to her, judging from her daily behavior, she is a trustworthy person."
Xue Yi nodded, "That's good."
