Fang Ruotang staggered, her figure swaying.

Startled, the six men simultaneously reached out, but she quickly regained her balance and mentally berated them.

Are you devils? Don't say such terrible things.

The six people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Fang Ruotang was alright.

Then she couldn't help but chuckle softly.

They stopped teasing her on purpose, lest she accidentally fall from the sky and they would be the ones heartbroken.

In front of the council hall, there were people jumping down from swords like them, and others getting off flying spirit beasts. They were all different and varied, creating a rather spectacular scene.

"Sect Master, please enter the hall immediately."

As soon as Fang Ruotang settled down, Jiang Wangzhou came to urge her on.

"Is everyone here?"

"No! But as the host, how could you be the last to arrive?"

"I wasn't the last one, was I?"

Fang Ruotang's eyes darted around, and she looked uneasy.

Jiang Wangzhou gave Fang Ruotang a look, then went to greet the others.

Fang Ruotang hurriedly entered the hall, and had just stepped inside.

The cultivators who were originally gathered in twos and threes all turned their attention to her.

The attention made Fang Ruotang pause for a moment, but she acted as if nothing had happened, walking step by step to her high position under everyone's gaze.

I feel like an empress about to ascend the throne.

Fang Ruotang was genuinely calm, and even joking around with Gu Yanjin and the other six in her heart.

"Then we will be the Queen's guards."

Gu Nancheng cooperated very well. Not only that, he even straightened his back and had a smug look on his face. Fang Ruotang saw this with her divine sense and couldn't hide her smile.

[He's truly my good guard; he deserves a reward!]

What will be the reward?

[If you're acting, then be serious. At this moment, you should say, "Thank you, Your Majesty. This is what I should do."]

Fang Ruotang smiled and scolded Gu Nancheng for not cooperating.

After a few lighthearted remarks, Fang Ruotang stood on the high seat but didn't sit down immediately. She turned around and smiled at everyone, but her expression was a bit dry, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, she had many soldiers under her command, so she wouldn't be left out in an awkward situation.

Or rather, too many people are curious about her.

Of the one or two thousand people, fewer than two or three hundred have actually seen her or know her.

"Sect Master Fang."

Someone came up and greeted them.

Fang Ruotang looked at her and asked the little mirror.

【who is he?】

[The abbot of Taiqing Temple is Master Huibei.]

"Venerable Huibei, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Master Huibei returned the greeting again, but instead of asking Fang Ruotang why she knew him, he went straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit.

"I have long admired your name and heard about your deeds. It is a rare opportunity to meet you today. I wonder if you would be willing to have a detailed chat with us and share your thoughts?"

"Yes! Although I trust Yuan Zhao, I still have some doubts. I hope Sect Leader Fang won't take offense."

[This is Fairy Mingren, a very famous and chivalrous woman with friends all over the world. She has many people behind her, but they actually have no real connection with the Tianyi Sect. They were all specially invited by her because she trusts True Person Yuanzhao.]

Fang Ruotang understood immediately upon hearing this.

"Of course, Fairy Mingren. May I step forward?"

Fairy Akihito stepped forward.

Fang Ruotang also stepped down from the stage and walked up to her.

She slightly raised her hand, and before Fairy Mingren could say anything, the people behind her were already on guard.

"What does Sect Master Fang mean by this?"

The ancestral aperture is such a vulnerable spot; how could someone who has just met it be allowed to touch it?

At this moment, Elder Yuan Zhao immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

She looked at Fairy Mingren.

“We’ve known each other for almost a thousand years, you believe me.”

Although Fairy Mingren hadn't spoken, she had instantly become very wary. Now that Yuan Zhao was pleading for her, she hesitated for a moment.

But she also wanted to know what method Sect Master Fang used to gain her complete trust. Although she couldn't discern Sect Master Fang's cultivation level, she was confident that he couldn't possibly tamper with her consciousness so easily.

Most importantly, with so many people and so many eyes present, unless Sect Leader Fang is insane, it's impossible for him to betray her at such a crucial moment.

“Some things, I can say a thousand times, but it’s not as good as you seeing them with your own eyes. Fairy Mingren, would you like to see them?” Fang Ruotang said at the right moment.

That resonated with everyone; otherwise, why would they all have come to Tianyi Sect?

"good!"

"Please do not resist, fairy. I will not do anything under the watchful eyes of everyone."

Fairy Mingren responded softly and released her consciousness.

Fang Ruotang raised her finger and, with the help of the small mirror, recreated the scene that Lin Bufan had seen.

"you……"

Fairy Mingren suddenly looked up.

Fang Ruotang nodded.

Fairy Mingren looked at Fang Ruotang in disbelief.

I couldn't accept this setting for a while.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"What did you do to the fairy?"

Mingren Fairy's dozen or so friends, whose cultivation levels were similar to hers and had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, all launched an attack on Fang Ruotang.

Fortunately, no one lost their temper and took action; they just glared at each other angrily.

Fairy Mingren's brow twitched, and she immediately spoke up to stop her.

"Don't!"

Then, fearing that Fang Ruotang would be angry, he shielded his friends behind him and carefully and nervously explained to Fang Ruotang, "Sect Leader Fang, please forgive them. They did not mean to offend you. They were just worried about me. I apologize to you on their behalf."

Fairy Mingren immediately took out a storage bag as an apology.

Very exquisite.
