Ke Mengling returned to the Tianji Sect and asked the sect leader about the banquet at the temple, "Master, may I go with you to the temple's welcoming banquet?"
Lu Yunzong, the sect leader of the Tianji Sect, looked at him in surprise, "You were unwilling to go just now, why do you want to go now?"
Ke Mengling said without changing her expression, "This disciple just went to the Supreme God Temple and met with the two temple masters."
"If I had never met the two Palace Masters before, it would have been fine if I hadn't gone. But now that I have, it would be inappropriate not to go."
Lu Yunzong nodded, "You're on good terms with Liu Juefeng, so no matter what, you have to go and attend."
"Tomorrow you and Chu Ran will come with me."
Ke Mengling immediately bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Master."
He then asked, "By the way, Master, isn't Junior Brother Chu Ran in seclusion?"
Lu Yunzong smiled and said, "He just came out of seclusion and should be in the Myriad Books Pavilion now. If you want to find him, go there."
Ke Mengling nodded, "Then this disciple will take her leave and go chat with Junior Brother Chu Ran for a while."
"Go ahead." Lu Yunzong waved his hand casually.
Ke Mengling bowed and left, her expression unchanged the whole way, until she left the main peak, at which point her expression changed.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes held a hint of ruthlessness.
When Ke Mengling arrived outside the Wanshu Pavilion, he had already returned to his usual gentle and smiling self.
Upon entering Wanshuge, Lu Churan was not seen on the first floor, so they headed to the second floor.
They searched up floor by floor, but couldn't find him even on the fifth floor, so they knew he was on the sixth floor.
The Wanshu Pavilion only has six floors in total, and he can only go up to the fifth floor at most. Only a specific few people can go up to the sixth floor, and Lu Churan is one of those specific people.
The techniques and ancient books stored on the sixth floor are the highest grade in the Tianji Sect.
As the sect leader's chief disciple, he had no chance to go up. Even though he tried his best to please his master and junior brother, he couldn't get any charity from them to let him go up and take a look.
As the son of the sect leader, Lu Churan was able to go to the sixth floor from a young age and learn excellent techniques, so he had the cultivation level of the eighth stage of Mahayana at the age of eighteen.
If he had started cultivating on the sixth floor from a young age, he would definitely have broken through to the Tribulation Transcending stage by now, but he is only at the first level of the Mahayana stage.
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, he transmitted his voice: "Junior Brother Chu Ran, why didn't you tell me you were leaving seclusion? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to leave."
A moment later, a strikingly handsome man, whose beauty could be described as exquisite, appeared at the corner leading to the sixth floor.
The man looked at Ke Mengling expressionlessly. "Senior brother, did you need something from me?"
His tone lacked the respect one would expect from a senior student; it was very indifferent, as if he were talking to someone insignificant.
Ke Mengling looked up at the man standing at the corner. He had long, willow-like eyebrows, a jade-like figure, and his white clothes made him even more elegant.
What he hated most was this junior brother's expression, like a piece of jade that could never be warmed, exuding a chill.
Ke Mengling smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. I just heard from Master that you've come out of seclusion, so I came to talk to you."
Lu Churan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "If Senior Brother has nothing else to say, then Junior Brother will continue reading."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Ke Mengling quickly said, "Master said that you are also going to the temple's cleansing banquet tomorrow?"
"Don't you usually avoid these kinds of banquets? Why are you suddenly going to attend tomorrow?"
Lu Churan looked down at him and said, "It was my father's request."
Ke Mengling was taken aback and lowered her eyes. "Oh, then junior brother, you go read your book. I'll go and get busy too."
Lu Churan nodded and disappeared around the corner.
Ke Mengling's heart was churning, and she forced herself to keep her expression unchanged.
He said he wouldn't go, and his master agreed, but he forced his junior brother, who had been in seclusion for a long time, to go.
Why is that? This banquet must be something special.
Therefore, a beloved disciple can never compare to a biological son.
?…………?
On the day of the temple's cleansing banquet, the Holy Spirit Central City, also known as the bustling city, was bustling with activity from early morning.
Spirit ships from various mountain sects all docked in the square outside the city.
After disembarking from the spirit boat, the various sects greeted each other and chatted and laughed as they walked into the city.
The spirit boat of the Heavenly Extreme Sect stopped, and Ke Mengling immediately looked around. Seeing that there were spirit boats everywhere and no spirit boat of the Supreme God Palace, she breathed a sigh of relief.
As Lu Churan walked past him, he caught his breath again.
But he forgot that spirit boats and vessels can be stored away at any time; not storing them here is just for show.
Seeing him standing there motionless, Lu Yunzong couldn't help but ask, "Mengling, what's wrong?"
Ke Mengling quickly shook her head, "This disciple is fine, I just wanted to see if the people from the Supreme God Palace have arrived."
Lu Yunzong smiled and said, "No rush, you'll see them when the banquet starts."
Seeing that Lu Churan had walked away, Lu Yunzong patted Ke Mengling on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, your junior brother has already gone far away." After saying that, he got off the spirit boat.
Ke Mengling glanced at Lu Churan's retreating figure, his lips twitching slightly. He really hoped that this junior brother, who rarely went out, would get lost in the city so that he wouldn't be able to attend the banquet.
That way, he won't steal the spotlight; otherwise, with him around, how could that young master even notice his existence?
Furthermore, the Divine Child is also a formidable opponent.
However, just as he had expected, Lu Churan got lost in the bustling city.
He rarely leaves the sect, and even when he does venture out for training, it's usually in the mountains. So, he has no idea how to navigate a bustling city full of alleyways.
