The alliance headquarters was much more impressive than the alliance office in City B, consisting of two separate buildings with pure white exterior coatings and light gold patterns, exuding a stunning aesthetic.
Just like in City B, the Alliance emblem hangs at the highest point, its gold color complementing the patterns on the building and creating a harmonious effect.
"This way, please, gentlemen."
Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang walked in through the main entrance. The hall was not as simple as it was in City B, but rather magnificent. Ivory-white sculptures, picturesque rockeries and potted plants, and an oil painting hanging in the center created a unique aesthetic by blending classical Chinese beauty with modern technology.
There were few people in the hall, except for a few dressed in suits and ties, their eyes fixed straight ahead.
After passing through the lobby, we arrived at a large conference room, where two people were already seated.
Both of them had long hair, one of them with waist-length black hair. He was facing away from the door, and at first glance, he would be mistaken for a woman. But upon closer inspection, one would find that he had a large frame and was a tall man.
The other woman had a rather strange hair color, which was a silvery-gray. Her hair was shoulder-length and tied up with a wooden hairpin, with only two strands left in front of her forehead.
The person with the silver-gray hair was the first to notice someone at the door. His gaze moved from the person in front of him to the door. Jiang Yixing had good eyesight and immediately noticed that his eyelashes were also silver-gray and his pupils were a pale gold color.
What an icy beauty!
Jiang Yixing frowned and gave Rong Hang a look.
She had seen someone with such unusual hair color in the Immortal Realm before, and what was most strange was that the person in front of her looked very similar to him.
Rong Hang knew who Jiang Yixing was thinking of.
Yuan Daotong was a contemporary master comparable to the senior Xuan Hai. He was born with an ice heart and used ice spiritual power to the extreme. He entered the Golden Core stage by swallowing an ice crystal, making him a legend.
The other person slowly turned their head, a happy smile on their face. "Ah, you've come?"
Staff members mingled in the middle, introducing the two groups.
"This is Senior Ji Fu."
The staff pointed at the black-haired man, and Ji Fu grinned, revealing a small tiger tooth, at Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang.
"This is Senior Gu Chun."
Gu Chun nodded to Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang, exuding a cold aura that was exactly the same as Yuan Tong's.
The staff withdrew, leaving space for the four bigwigs.
Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang sat down opposite the two men. Jiang Yixing was facing Ji Fu; he was very lively and looked very young, constantly playing with a string of beads in his hand. Gu Chun, on the other hand, was much more composed, sitting opposite Rong Hang.
"Welcome to the alliance!" Ji Fu said first.
Jiang Yixing was also good at finding topics to talk about, and said with a smile, "I've heard so much about you. I even used the testing equipment you made during the previous test."
"Ah!" Ji Fu's eyes lit up, sparkling as he looked at Jiang Yixing. "How about it? Isn't my idea amazing! Aren't the people around you envious?!"
"I really want to try it! Ah, I really want to see everyone cheer!" Ji Fu leaned forward and got close to Jiang Yixing.
Jiang Yixing didn't move, but Rong Hang glanced at Ji Fu first.
Ji Fu seemed oblivious, tilting his head and letting his long hair fall onto the table.
Jiang Yixing smiled enigmatically, “A very good idea.”
Ji Fu felt a chill for no apparent reason, suppressed his smile, and quietly returned to his seat.
"I heard that you two have asked to see us. Is there anything I can do for you?" Gu Chun asked, turning the conversation back to the main topic.
"I've heard that you are quite skilled in weapon crafting, and I'd like to ask you to help me create a spiritual weapon." Jiang Yixing got straight to the point.
What is it?
"A magical artifact that can also connect to space and time."
Gu Chun remained calm, seemingly oblivious to the shocking topic Jiang Yixing had raised. Ji Fu also maintained a faint smile throughout.
"It seems you two anticipated this?" Rong Hang asked, his voice deep, immediately drawing people into his domain.
“Indeed.” Gu Chun gave an affirmative answer, but his next sentence shocked Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang: “Rong Hang, don’t you think I look familiar?”
"You know me?"
"You are very famous in the Celestial Realm."
The Spirit Immortal Realm? Jiang Yixing raised an eyebrow. How would he know?
"It seems you also have something you'd like us to help you with."
Let's have an open and honest talk.
Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang worked together, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
Rong Hang's expressionless face was quite frightening, and Jiang Yixing secretly glanced at it, finding it somewhat amusing.
Ji Fu shook his arm anxiously, "Speak, speak, Gu Chun."
Gu Chun slowly opened his mouth: "Actually, I came from the Immortal Realm."
Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang had already anticipated this, so they didn't show their surprise on their faces.
"You guys too, right?" Ji Fu asked, resting his chin on his hand and blinking.
Jiang Yixing smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
"The reason I've heard of you is because I was born in the Immortal Realm, and your name is very famous throughout the entire realm."
Indeed, Jiang Yixing recalled that when he first transmigrated, there wasn't a single young person who didn't admire Rong Hang.
Although later... let's not dwell on the past. Jiang Yixing asked, "Do you know how you got through it?"
Gu Chun shook his head. "It happened in the blink of an eye, without any cause or effect."
Jiang Yixing sighed, "So are we."
This assumes that Ji Fu's question was accepted earlier.
“I have been here for nearly three hundred years and have never encountered a situation similar to mine. You are the first.”
"So what's your situation?" Jiang Yixing asked Ji Fu.
"Oh, me?"
Ji Fu pointed to himself, a hint of excitement on his face: "I am the spirit of the artifact."
No wonder its aura was strange; this was the first time Jiang Yixing had ever seen a spirit that was detached from the artifact itself.
"Why are you able to move around freely?" Rong Hang asked the question Jiang Yixing wanted to ask.
Ji Fu scratched his head, looking bewildered.
Gu Chun replied, "When I met him, he knew nothing, and even now he doesn't know what his true form is."
Jiang Yixing twitched his lips. Not knowing what he was, yet still being able to live a good life, was quite an achievement.
Rong Hang tapped his fingers on the table. "You were also in the Immortal Realm before, why haven't I heard of you before?"
Gu Chun remained calm and composed: "Because I am Yuan Tong's son."
Jiang Yixing's inner voice gaped wide open. Could it be that Yuan Daotong, a person colder than ice, actually had a son?
In the Immortal Realm, it is often said that Yuan Tong's heart is colder than ice crystals, and this is no exaggeration. He has no father or mother, no teachers or friends, and no one has ever heard of him being close to anyone. For a thousand years, he has always walked alone.
So he has a son too?
Jiang Yixing couldn't help but wonder what kind of Daoist partner Yuan Daoist had.
"illegitimate child."
Gu Chun added a sentence, explaining why he lived in seclusion in the Immortal Realm.
Jiang Yixing suppressed her curiosity, avoiding touching on someone's painful past, and calmly nodded.
