"Alright, we'll also give Xiahou Meng some support!"
Xiahou Wushuang nodded.
Subsequently, some suggested that they should appropriately recruit some outstanding disciples under the command of the true elders.
After the leadership transition.
Most of these outstanding disciples will also rise to higher positions.
At that time, having received favors from the Xiahou family, even if they do not rely on the Xiahou family, they are unlikely to oppose them.
In this way, Xiahou Jian can more easily seize control of the sect!
Xiahou Wushuang nodded in deep agreement: "In that case, isn't Jing'er going to hold a grand celebration? How about this, select some outstanding elders' true disciples and send them an invitation. If they are worth recruiting, we can also arrange marriages between them and our Xiahou family!"
"Our ancestors were wise!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present praised it.
The Xiahou family is now a behemoth, with a huge number of members, both direct and collateral, and naturally, many of them are exceptionally talented and gifted.
Take Xiahou Sword as an example.
He is indeed quite outstanding among the younger generation.
But he's by no means the best!
If that's the case, why was he chosen to represent the Xiahou family?
The reason is simple.
Being too outstanding doesn't necessarily mean you'll live a long life.
The other four major factions were unwilling to see this, nor were the other sects in the Eastern Wilderness.
Therefore, the most outstanding talents of the Xiahou family were all hidden away.
In fact, it wasn't just the Xiahou family that did this; the other four families would also choose to do so.
Two days later.
Gao Yan was lying on a chair, sunbathing.
The protective array around the mountain was making a sound.
Gao Yan thought it was Qin Mi and the others again.
After using the Eye of Insight to investigate, they discovered that the visitor was Fuyou, Xiahou Meng's maid.
So, he appeared at the foot of the mountain in a flash, opened the gate of the great formation, and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Fuyou, what brings you to Lingyue Peak?"
"Stop joking, His Highness wants to see you, come with me!" Fuyou said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Gao Yan did not refuse and followed Fu You to Lingfeng, where Xiahou Meng lived.
The previous times we met, it was all inside the main hall.
This time, Xiahou Meng actually arranged to meet in a garden.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Gao Yan bowed in greeting.
"No need for formalities, please sit down!"
Xiahou Meng pointed to the stool made of jade.
"Your cultivation speed is quite fast; you've already reached the second level of the Nascent Soul stage!" Xiahou Meng said, sizing him up.
"Compared to Your Highness, I am far inferior!"
He flattered her, but Xiahou Meng loved that kind of thing.
Gao Yan had expected Xiahou Meng to be arrogant, but to his surprise, she said, "You don't need to belittle yourself. Reaching the second level of the Nascent Soul stage before the age of one hundred is already quite remarkable. Here, take this!"
As they spoke, Xiahou Meng handed Gao Yan an exquisite but somewhat heavy invitation.
"Your Highness, are you going to hold another Daoist debate?"
Gao Yan asked curious questions.
"no!"
Xiahou Meng shook his head: "My Xiahou family has gained a new Dao Integration Realm expert. The family will hold a Great Dao Celebration for him and will select a group of outstanding disciples from among the true disciples to attend the ceremony. This hall has recommended you to the family!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yan couldn't help but show a look of delight: "Your Highness is so kind, thank you for taking care of me!"
"If you're going to thank me, then don't have any contact with Nangong Yao in the future!"
Xiahou Meng said calmly.
Gao Yan's face stiffened: "Your Highness, aren't you putting me in a difficult position? I'm just a minor disciple, while you are the Holy Maidens. Whether or not we make contact is not up to me!"
"Just don't make contact with her!"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I promise I will not make contact with her without your consent!"
Xiahou Meng smiled with satisfaction: "Let me tell you, when you go there this time, do your best!"
"Your Highness, is there some hidden secret in this Grand Ceremony?"
Gao Yan asked curiously.
Xiahou Meng hesitated slightly, then waved her hand, casting an array that enveloped the surrounding space: "Don't say I don't care about you. My ancestor is very supportive of outstanding juniors. The true disciple invited this time will probably have a battle of magic. If you perform well, my ancestor can bestow some gifts upon you that will benefit you immensely!"
"May I ask who your ancestor was?" Gao Yan asked.
Xiahou Mengxing glared at her: "Don't tell me you don't know who my ancestor is?"
"Your Highness, I have only been a disciple for a short time and truly do not know this!"
"Hmph, then listen carefully. My ancestor was the eldest disciple of the strongest sword saint among the nine founding saints of the sect. His cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level of the Dao Integration Realm. Not to mention in the entire Nine Saints Sect, even in the entire Eastern Wilderness, there are very few people below the Saint Realm!"
At this point, Xiahou Meng's expression became extremely proud.
"Ancestor Xiahou is mighty!"
Gao Yan hurriedly replied, inwardly marveling at the fact that this was a peak ninth level of the Dao Integration Realm, an ancient monster who had lived for countless years.
However, he had no intention of trying to impress Xiahou Laozu.
At the same time, he was also somewhat worried.
The Xiahou family's ancestor was at the peak of the ninth level of the Dao Integration Realm. Could he have seen through his deliberate concealment of his cultivation level?
Thinking about this...
He decided to attend that damn celebration, but he had to keep a low profile as much as possible and try not to be noticed by the old monster from the Xiahou family.
"Hmph, do you even need to tell me that!"
Xiahou Meng sneered, "Remember, perform well and don't let me down!"
"Yes, Your Highness! I will certainly do my best!"
There were two more words, "that ghost," that he didn't say.
"Alright, you can go back now. Remember, don't go around telling anyone about this!"
