Dongfang Mian was also taken aback. The third palace master was indeed an ancestor-level figure.
Even so, Dongfang Mian, who had been inexplicably beaten up, was still not in a good mood. "If you want to know why I was able to come in, why don't you ask the ethereal fairy candidate on the side road? She's the one who brought me in."
"The second Palace Master is in charge of assessing the candidates; I'm only responsible for your side," the woman said haughtily.
"Don't look at me like that. How could I, the sect leader of a great sect, possibly take advantage of your Misty Palace?" Dongfang Mian said with her head held high. When it comes to status, everyone has one or two things they can be proud of.
The woman was taken aback by his words, and looked at Dongfang Mian suspiciously, saying, "A major sect? What sect?"
"Heavenly Sound Valley! Ever heard of it? Never heard of it, have you? I told you you're ignorant..."
"You said you are the Valley Master of Tianyin Valley?" No sooner had Dongfang Mian finished speaking than the woman's eyes widened in surprise, and she no longer cared about maintaining her aloof image.
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?" Dongfang Mian was taken aback by her sudden change of heart.
"Do you have any token to prove it?" the woman pressed.
A token? That must be the token of the Valley Master of Tianyin Valley, but now that it's fused into my body, how can I take it out to prove it?
Just then, Dongfang Mian's left wrist lit up, and the butterfly-shaped pattern, like a tattoo, reappeared.
Unexpectedly, the woman seemed frozen upon seeing the pattern, staring at Dongfang Mian with a look of utter disbelief, before suddenly kneeling down in surprise.
"Yu Qingxuan, the third Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, greets the Valley Master of Tianyin Valley and wishes you eternal peace and health."
Seeing the third palace master suddenly bow so deeply to her, Dongfang Mian was completely dumbfounded. It seemed like everyone in the Misty Palace was a bit slow on the uptake, the young ones and the old ones alike.
"Ahem, Palace Master, there's no need to be so polite. Please stand up and speak."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingxuan stood up as if she had received an order, and stood respectfully in front of Dongfang Mian, saying, "Qingxuan did not know that you were the current Valley Master of Tianyin Valley. This is an act of insubordination and treason. Please punish me, sir."
Dongfang Mian grinned inwardly. What's the point of a mere spirit like you doing all this nonsense? What harm could it do to you if I really beat you up?
“Ignorance is no excuse. Otherwise, tell me what kind of place this is?” Dongfang Mian said in a magnanimous manner.
"Yes, Your Excellency. This is the place where the successive Palace Masters of the Misty Palace received their inheritances. In the past, only the direct descendants of my Yu family were qualified to come here to receive the inheritance directly. If they failed, then other selected Misty Fairies would receive the inheritance."
"Then who is the protector you mentioned earlier?"
"When each Fairy of the Misty Palace comes to receive the inheritance, she will bring a protector with her. The Fairy of the Misty Palace receives the inheritance, and the protector is entrusted with the mission of protecting the Fairy of the Misty Palace and ensuring that she inherits the position of the Fairy of the Misty Palace."
So she's just a nagging old woman; I thought it was something good...
Dongfang Mian said, "I have a lot of things to do and have no intention of becoming a protector. Just pretend you've never seen me before. I'll be going now; I have things to do at home."
"Valley Master," Yu Qingxuan knelt down again as she saw her about to leave, "My Misty Palace is about to face its greatest crisis. I beg you to save my Misty Palace."
