You You only learned of the impending arrival of another celestial maiden at Chengtian Pavilion on your second day at Fengtian Pavilion. It was said that this maiden was the only celestial maiden to appear in the past few centuries besides You You. Moreover, this Wu family celestial maiden had already displayed her abilities ten years ago, but for some reason, she hadn't yet entered Chengtian Pavilion to choose her relatives. Yet, right after You You activated the Blessing Platform, she hurriedly announced her departure—clearly, she was trying to steal your business!
Chengtian Pavilion's decision was to select both celestial maidens!
"Priest Ling, what does your Fengtian Pavilion mean by this? Are you taking advantage of our Venerable One's easy-going nature?" Yin Fan was the first to be furious. He knew without a doubt that the so-called Wu family must also be a powerful immortal family with an unusual background. With such a person choosing relatives alongside You You, it was obvious which family would side with.
If they had explained from the beginning that there were two celestial maidens, they could have understood, but now that another one has suddenly appeared to compete with them, isn't that bullying?
Ling Qi also felt that Fengtian Pavilion was in the wrong and looked guilty, but he was powerless to stop it. "This is indeed our dereliction of duty, but the Wu family's Heavenly Maiden is already on her way to Fengtian Pavilion, and we... are powerless to do anything about it."
"You..." Yin Fan was so angry that he wanted to hit him.
"Boss Yin!" You You called out in time to stop the person. To be honest, she was angry about this. After all, a seemingly certain victory had been snatched away by a competitor, who could potentially steal a number of her shareholders, causing the company to shrink drastically—no one would feel good about that. But ultimately, the responsibility for this didn't lie solely with Fengtian Pavilion, but with the Wu family.
The Wu family had a celestial maiden ten years ago, yet they had been slow to come to Fengtian Pavilion. It was obvious they were holding out for a rare opportunity, wanting to observe and reap the benefits. However, her appearance was an unexpected turn of events. Seeing that the powerful families they had been observing for ten years might be snatched away by her, it was impossible for them not to be anxious! Unfortunately, they couldn't disagree with her, since this kind of fundraising only happened once, and the outcome would be the same whether she chose to participate or not.
You You turned to look at Ling Qi, who was filled with shame, and said directly, "Priest Ling, I can agree to this, but I hope you understand that although I have a good temper, I am not a pushover. There is indeed only one Fengtian Pavilion, but there will be more than one! In the future, I hope you will inform me in advance of any matters."
Ling Qi was taken aback, but instantly understood her meaning. Fengtian Pavilion was recognized by all the Heavenly Maidens because the first Heavenly Maiden appeared here. However, the Heavenly Maidens could choose their relatives anywhere; it wasn't necessarily Fengtian Pavilion. It was just that everyone was used to it, and no one had started this practice before.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency!" He bowed respectfully.
"Now, tell me about the Wu family, right?" We need to understand our opponents' situation.
Ling Qi was taken aback and looked up, only to see the other person suddenly leaning closer with a serious expression. Her peerless beauty was right in front of him, as if she was no longer concerned about the joint selection, but was instead thinking about her future. Ling Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that this celestial maiden was truly very different from others.
perhaps……
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a while, Youyou asked subconsciously.
As if snapping out of his daze, Ling Qi immediately replied, "Yes!"
Only then did he reveal what he knew...
——————
In the following days, Fengtian Pavilion became even busier. Even though she lived on an independent floating peak, she could still see crowds flowing in and out of the main peak from time to time. Even the servants in the hall were talking about the Heavenly Maiden of the Wu family.
Youyou couldn't help but feel curious. Three days later, the entire Fengtian Pavilion suddenly shone brightly, as if some kind of formation had been activated. Large swaths of auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, like neon lights, illuminating all the floating peaks in a kaleidoscope of colors. Various colored pillars of light shot into the sky from the peaks, attracting nearby birds and spirit beasts to circle around them, creating a chorus of chirping birds.
Youyou was taken aback by the grand scene, which had a bit of the feel of a noisy celebration with gongs and drums and firecrackers. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it must be the arrival of the Wu family's celestial maiden who was stealing business.
Sure enough, not far away, a luxurious and enormous spirit ship was slowly flying towards Fengtian Pavilion from the horizon. In the distance, one could see that the square in front of the hall was densely packed with people from Fengtian Pavilion, almost all of them had come out. The high priest, whom they had met before, was standing respectfully at the front of the procession.
"Don't you need to go over there?" Youyou turned to look at Ling Qi, who was standing next to her the whole time. Wasn't he also a priest?
“As your guide, I must naturally prioritize your esteemed presence,” Ling Qi replied.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yin Fan beside him couldn't help but snort coldly, saying angrily, "I don't see when your Fengtian Pavilion started putting our Venerable One first!"
I didn't know before because there was no comparison, but just looking at the number of people and the scale of the reception that Fengtian Pavilion gave to the Heavenly Maiden today, it instantly made the dozen or so people who received You You back then look incredibly shabby. This is clearly a case of preferential treatment.
"It was indeed our fault for neglecting the Heavenly Maiden back then." Ling Qi did not argue and honestly admitted his mistake.
"Hmph!" Yin Fan didn't press the matter further. After all, regardless of how Fengtian Pavilion had fared these past few days, this kid had treated them quite well.
As they spoke, the spirit boat had already stopped in the square. Before long, a large number of people disembarked, followed by four or five people dressed in finery who escorted a woman off the spirit boat. In an instant, a large number of people in the square knelt down in obeisance.
This woman must be Wu Yue, the Heavenly Maiden of the Wu family. She's a few mountains away and not very clear, but she looks quite young. Being a Heavenly Maiden herself, You You felt a strong urge to meet her and exchange ideas.
