Su Lian saw the surprised looks on Zhe Yu's and the other three's faces and immediately explained, "Master Zhe Yu, the truth is, to our Wanhua Sect, this mountain is just an ordinary immortal mountain. Even our headmaster hasn't decided what to do with it yet, so giving it to your sect can be a small token of our Wanhua Sect's gratitude and establish a good relationship with you."

"I see." Zhe Yu nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Then I would like to thank Sect Leader Lan Xin for gifting me this immortal mountain. I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart."

Su Lian smiled and said, "Master Zheyu is too kind, but..."

Zhe Yu smiled knowingly and asked, "Just what? Please feel free to tell me, Fellow Daoist Su Lian."

Su Lian said, "My sect leader wants to invite Abbot Zheyu to visit the Myriad Flowers Sect for a chat. Is that possible?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan and the other five elders immediately turned their gazes towards Zhe Yu, but Zhe Yu remained calm and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader Lan Xin, for inviting me. I wonder when the date will be set?"

Su Lian quickly said, "It would be best if we could go there today."

"I'm afraid it's a little late today." Elder Xu Qin said, "How about you, Daoist Fellow Su Lian, stay at the small temple for a day or two, and then go to your sect after my temple master is ready?"

Several other elders also followed Xu Qin's words. Although the words of these five elders were very sincere, Su Lian could hear the worry hidden beneath their words.

This is normal. Your Wanhua Sect's people just came to pay their respects, and you invited the abbot of Hongqing Temple to visit your sect on the same day. This doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

And although you said you gave this mountain to Hongqing Temple, a mountain is still a mountain, not a flower. You can't take it away just because you gave it to me.

If you kill my temple master, won't this mountain still belong to you?

So Su Lian decided to be frank. She looked at Zheyu and the five elders and said, "Master Zheyu, the five elders, I know you are worried. But my Wanhua Sect bears no ill will. My headmaster has said that if Master Zheyu does not attend the meeting with us, we will give this mountain to your sect as a token of goodwill. In the future, I hope that Master Zheyu will bless my Wanhua Sect disciples for the sake of this mountain."

Hearing Su Lian's words, Zhe Yu keenly sensed the problem, "Can you please protect the disciples of the Wanhua Sect? Could it be that your sect has encountered some difficulties?"

"It's really laughable," Su Lian said somewhat dejectedly, "My Wanhua Sect has indeed encountered a difficult problem recently. If we can't resolve it this time, I'm afraid our Wanhua Sect will be doomed."

Zhe Yu frowned and asked, "What difficulties did your clan encounter?"

Su Lian raised her head and glanced at Zhe Yu, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Zhe Yu sat up straight and pointed at Lu Xuan and the other five elders and said, "Would you like us five elders to step aside?"

"No need, no need," Su Lian said quickly. "It's a little embarrassing, but there's no need for the five elders to avoid me. Please listen to me and I'll explain."

Then Su Lian explained in detail the "difficulties" of the Wanhua Sect. It turned out that from the leader to the disciples, they all practiced the "Wood Element Dao Fa", so they were not good at fighting. What they were best at was growing and raising fairy flowers and herbs to sell.

Even Lan Xin, the headmaster of the Wanhua Sect, who has reached the celestial immortal realm, is unlikely to be able to defeat a Xuanxian who is good at fighting when it comes to actual combat methods.

So how did the Wanhua Sect, as a sect that is not good at fighting, develop and survive?

It's very simple. Because of their Taoist practice, all the disciples of Wanhua Sect are gentle, beautiful and charming.

Therefore, the Wanhua Sect often intermarries with the masters, elders and outstanding disciples of other sects. So although the Wanhua Sect seems easy to bully, they actually have a lot of "helpers".

But the Wanhua Sect also has a shortcoming, that is, its sect leader Lan Xin is the only backbone. If Lan Xin leaves the Wanhua Sect or dies, the Wanhua Sect will fall directly into the abyss.

After all, no matter how beautiful your disciples are, their cultivation is very low and they cannot grow high-quality fairy flowers and herbs. So why should other sects be polite to you? Wouldn't it be better to just divide up all these female disciples of Wanhua Sect?

The current dilemma facing the Wanhua Sect is that a sect leader who is a "regional bully" wants to marry the Wanhua Sect leader Lan Xin.

"The continent we're on is called 'Huangjizhou'. Its oceans, waters, and land account for one-tenth of the vast world of Cangtian. The most advanced cultivators on the continent are 'Celestial Immortals'. Of course, there are also 'Golden Immortals' who live in seclusion."

"To the west of Huangji Continent is 'Xuanji Continent'. Its oceans, waters, and land account for two-tenths of the Cangtian World. The most advanced cultivators on the continent are 'Golden Immortals'. Of course, there are also great virtues above 'Taiyi Golden Immortals' who live in seclusion."

"To the east of Huangji Continent is 'Diji Continent'. The ocean, waters, and land within it account for one-third of the Cangtian World. The cultivator with the highest level of cultivation within the continent is known as the 'Taiyi Golden Immortal'."

"And to the north of Huangji Continent is 'Tianji Continent'. The ocean, waters, and land account for four-tenths of the Cangtian World. This continent is the most prosperous, and the Taoist temples of the two ancestors, 'Wood Spirit Ancestor' and 'Water Yuan Holy Mother', are located on this continent."

At this point, Su Lian took a deep breath and said, "The one seeking to marry my sect leader is Li Fengchun, the sect leader of the Chunhua Sect in the eastern region of Huangjizhou. He is a disciple of a reclusive Golden Immortal in Huangjizhou."

Hearing this, Zhe Yu understood what was going on. She looked at Su Lian and said, "Did Sect Leader Lan Xin agree to his marriage proposal or reject it?"

Su Lian shook her head and said, "My headmaster has declined many times, but headmaster Li Fengchun always expresses his desire to marry my headmaster, so my headmaster dares not refuse directly."
