Chapter 226 Heavenly Number
Currently, the three ancient clans are all preparing to enter the secret realm. As the maternal relatives of the Sima family and in charge of the Holy City, the Liu family is naturally doing its best to find useful people for the Sima family.
Steward Xu stood there, stunned, his mind in turmoil.
He knew that although Liu Mengli could not cultivate, she was more sensitive to matters of the cultivation world than anyone else, and her insight was sharper than that of ordinary people.
Furthermore, these three individuals are no ordinary people; they are known for their caution. To gain her favor and receive a "Heavenly" jade pendant from her must mean they are exceptional.
However, it was also difficult to explain to Ji Wushuang, since the ancient aristocratic family was a powerful force that they could not afford to offend.
After a brief silence, Steward Xu's facial muscles twitched slightly as he forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said, "Since it was given by Miss Liu, then of course there is no problem."
Seeing this, Pigsy couldn't help but mutter, "Hmph, they looked like they were going to eat people just now, but now they know how powerful we are? Are they scared now!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Xu's eyes turned sinister. Under normal circumstances, he would have killed a few rogue cultivators without hesitation.
Kongming glared at Zhu Bajie, signaling him to shut up, then looked at Steward Xu and said, "Steward Xu, we are all sensible people. Perhaps after today, we will not recognize each other. Don't you agree?"
Steward Xu cursed Zhu Ganglie inwardly for being reckless, but in reality, he was already plotting how to make the three of them disappear without a trace.
However, Kongming's words undoubtedly made him consider whether it was worth it.
Suppressing his anger, Steward Xu said with a forced smile, "What this fellow Daoist said is quite right. Since the three of you are Miss's guests, then you are also honored guests of my Cloud Hidden Inn. However, let me make it clear from the start that once you enter the Heavenly Zone, you should try to avoid Young Master Wushuang!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ganglie curled his lip and muttered under his breath, "I think you, the steward, are just a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. We haven't provoked him, so why should we avoid him? I think you're just afraid he'll blame you!"
Upon hearing Zhu Ganglie's words, Steward Xu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He then looked at Kongming and said, "The people of the ancient aristocratic families have never tolerated the slightest injustice. I have said all I need to say. The choice is yours!"
Kongming nodded slightly. He understood, of course, that the person before him was not exaggerating, for he had experienced it firsthand.
Then, Kongming cupped his hands and said to Steward Xu, "We appreciate Steward Xu's kindness, and we will certainly act with caution."
"It's good that you know!"
Steward Xu gave a cold reply and then turned to leave.
Seeing that Steward Xu had walked away, Pigsy flicked his sleeves and couldn't help but loudly mock, "Brother, you can stand this humiliation, but I, Old Pig, can't! You were the one who said you should stand up straight, and now look what's happened! I, Old Pig, have straightened my back, but you've bent it!"
"You idiot, are you missing a screw in your head?!"
Kongming glared at Zhu Ganglie, barely suppressing the urge to attack him, and strode towards the Tianzi area.
Pigsy was stunned for a moment, then quickly jogged to catch up, muttering, "Big brother, don't walk so fast, I haven't finished talking yet."
Zhao Yun frowned, then pulled him behind him, and the guy's voice gradually stopped...
As the three stepped into the Heavenly Zone, the tranquility instantly replaced the noise of the outside world.
The pavilions and towers are scattered in a pleasing manner, and the wind chimes on the eaves tinkle gently in the breeze. The surrounding area is lush with flowers and plants, their fragrance mingling with the air, and colorful butterflies flit among them.
The entrance is shrouded in ethereal mist, with a rich and vibrant spiritual energy that moves like spirits.
To the north lie a series of scattered, ethereal caves. The entrances are shrouded in mist, while the outer rock walls shimmer with a faint light. Spiritual bridges span the caves, like rainbows lying amidst the clouds.
Pigsy was instantly stunned by the scene before him. He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't utter a word.
It took him a long time to finally manage to utter a sentence.
"My God, is this paradise?! This is what life should be like! If I could live here forever, I'd gladly accept a thief as my father!"
